21、As one of the most recognized and respected brand names in the US for 100 years now, Reader’s Digest takes an interest in finding out which other companies have earned such confidence from consumers. To do that, we partner with the research company Ipsos every year to ask Americans about the companies they trust, from cleaning supplies to cruise lines.

This year, for our seventh annual survey, we included some new product categories, such as streaming services, all-inclusive resorts and food storage. These names came out on top after our sample of 4,000 Americans voted on which home and family brands they trust most:

ELECTRONICS

Wireless ProviderVerizon

Earlier this year, Verizon gave unlimited call, text and data to customers in areas affected by wildfires. It also debuted a new tool to connect first responders during such disasters: the Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response---- also known as THOR’s Hammer.

Whenever a young patient at St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a birthday, Carnival supplies the cake. One of its newer ships, Mardi Gras, even features artwork made by some of the kids undergoing treatment.

22、   In geometry, architecture and art, a unique number is believed to be the secret to perfection. That is the golden ratio, or 1:1.618, a mathematical proportion.

The first recorded mention of the golden ratio in history dates back to 300 BC. The Greek mathematician Euclid called it the "extreme ratio". Its actual value is 1.6180339887498484820…But it's usually rounded up to 1. 618. At the beginning of the 20th century, the American mathematician Mark Barr gave it the name phi, pronounced fee, after the Greek sculptor Phidias.

The golden ratio exists when a line is divided into two parts and the longer section(a)divided by the smaller section(b)is equal to the entire length of the line(a+b)divided by the longer section(a).

Once you start to notice the golden ratio, you will see it everywhere. Leonardo da Vinci is often associated with the golden ratio. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, seems to contain several examples of this geometric proportion.

Stephen Silver, who has worked for big studios such as Disney, Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures Animation, has designed the characters for popular animated television shows such as Kim Possible and Danny Phantom. He shares the secret of how to create perfect designs. "Characters with an even design are likely to lack movement," he says. "They feel ordinary and quickly lose appeal.” Instead, he applies the golden ratio to break up proportions to create "more contrast and variation in shape", which makes his characters come alive. The golden ratio prevents him designing characters that are too evenly spaced.

Silver isn't the only graphic artist who thinks the golden ratio is special. Golden geometry can be found in the Pepsi, Twitter, and Disney logos. Next time you draw a picture or design a logo, you can try it out!

【1】Who named the golden ratio phi?

A.Euclid B.Mark Barr. C.Phidias. D.Leonardo da Vinci.

【2】Which of the following best describes the golden ratio?

A.a/b=(a+b)/a B.a/b=a/(a+b)

C.a/b=b/(a+b) D.a/b= (a+b)/b

【3】What's Silver's attitude to the golden ratio?

A.Skeptical. B.Cautious C.Positive D.Negative.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The secret to the perfection B.The golden ratio in the art.

C.The famous character designer. D.How to be a famous artist.

23、   I'd done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, I'd bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.

The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home's dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family's temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I'd ever seen, she yelled, "Ma, Ma, they really came! " I didn't know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.

Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair—her grandmother, we'd soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire—damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Grabbing our tools, we went to work. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times. I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.

By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change.

Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room so much, in fact, that she'd begged to sleep in it the previous night, even though it wasn't quite ready. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before—Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother. Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. I wanted so much to hug her, but respecting her shyness, I kept my distance.

Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn't until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she'd made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart. Now almost in tears, I couldn't control myself anymore—I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither one of us could let go.

By early afternoon, we finished Dakota's bedroom, and so I gladly used the rare free time to get to know my newest friend. Sitting under a tree away from the others, we shared a few apples while she told me about her life. As I listened to her stories about the struggles she and her family went through daily, I began to realize how boring various aspects of my own life were.

I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too—a greater appreciation for all of the blessing of my life. I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never forget me either.

24、Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s what I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends

for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test

alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
