Darcie Hayward will have her five-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Sora, put paws on the pavement every day of the next month to raise funds for Guide Dogs Australia's PAWGUST campaign.

The initiative, which encourages Australians to walk their dogs for 30 minutes a day for 30 days, is a cause close to the 29-year-old's heart. Her younger blind brother Lachie, 27, was recently matched with a guide dog of his own, black Labrador Eddie in May after 18 months of tests and compatibility（相容）training.

“Since Eddie arrived, Lachie has been able to walk around without his cane（手杖）, feeling like he is just walking his dog, ” said Darcie, who lives in Langwarrin, Victoria. “They are best friends. ” Seeing the difference a guide dog made to her brother, Darcie was overjoyed to be raising funds, so other Australians could one day have their own companion dogs, like Lachie.

“Many people see a guide dog and go, not realizing how much it takes to raise a guide dog puppy so I want to raise some awareness, ” said Darcie. “It's amazing to see how Lachie's life has improved, but there are many people without that companionship. It's really nice to be able to contribute in any way I can. I shared the experience on our local community web page, mentioning we are raising money for guide dogs. Surprisingly, a couple of strangers donated. ”

It seems that Eddie has already been a popular pup with the locals. “There are so many kids who have been asking to pat Eddie that Lachie has to reject them, ” Darcie added with a smile. Excited to be making a positive impact by walking her own dog, Darcie is eager to encourage more people to fetch their leashes（牵狗用的皮带） and tie up their trainers to take action.

 24. What is the campaign?

A. A charitable event.

B. A training course.

C. A walking test.

D. A community action.

25. What effect did Eddie have on Lachie?

A. Slight.

B. Positive.

C. Potential.

D. Undesirable.

26. Why did Darcie share the experience?

A. To save more guide dogs.

B. To spread Lachie's story.

C. To help more blind people.

D. To interact with the neighbors.

27. What does Darcie want people to do?

A. Do more walking.

B. Raise their own dogs.

C. Donate some leashes.

D. Get involved in the campaign.

C

All those Christmas toys and books may spread more than good cheer. A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.

The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than that has been believed.

The researchers said the study suggests that additional preventive measures may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria are spread, ” said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology andI immunology in UB. “Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ”

S. pneumoniae（肺炎链球菌）is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections. Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.

To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes（化脓性链球菌）, even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.

“Bacterial colonization（细菌增殖）doesn＇t, by itself, cause infection but it＇s a necessary first stepif an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected. ”

28. What does the study find?

A. Schools need more preventive measures.

B. Bacteria seriously affect children's health.

C. Child-related toys can spread many diseases.

D. Two bacteria can live on items for a long time.

 29. Which of the following can best describe the findings?

A. Interesting.

B. Shocking.

C. Pioneering.

D. Frightening.

30. Why are the tests mentioned in paragraph 5?

A. To give some relevant examples.

B. To show the reasons for the study.

C. To list some experimental methods.

D. To provide support for the findings.

31. What is the key factor in the formation of infection according to Anders Hakansson?

A. Immune systems.

B. Bacterial colonization.

C. S. pneumoniae.

D. S. pyogenes.

D

“All of our senses convert （转换） physical energy in the surrounding world into electrical responses. which are the common currency that the nervous system uses, " said James Hudspeth from Rockefeller University.

Hudspeth said, “Our ears have to convert mechanical vibrations（震动）in the air into electrical responses. And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. These cells have little microscopic bristles（刚毛）, about a hundred of them, and on the top of each cell, these bristles vibrate back and forth in response to sound. That sets up an electrical signal that goes down a nerve fiber and into the brain. ”

Hudspeth continued, “The real question is what happens with these hair cells as they degenerate. We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”

Another expert, Robert Fettiplace said, “Well, I mean there are two aspects to this, one of which is that you could try and regrow them. Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. The cells are all different. ”

Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ”

Hudspeth added, “I agree that there is an enormous challenge, and this is certainly some- thing that won't happen overnight in ourselves. But I don't think it's a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode （解码） the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ”

32. How is the conversion achieved according to the text?

A. Through the brain.

B. Through hair cells.

C. Through physical energy.

D. Through certain drugs.

33. What does the underlined word “degenerate” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Worsen.

B. Form.

C. Proceed.

D. Extend.

34. What does the enormous challenge mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Replacing cells.

B. Receiving signals.

C. Restoring hearing.

D. Reconnecting pathways.

35. Which may be the best title for the text?

A. How do electrical responses work?

B. How can we decode hearing signals?

C. What results in mechanical vibrations?

D. What can animals teach hearing researchers?

Having a vegetable garden offers many health benefits. Here are reasons why a home vegetable garden beats even the farmers' market when it comes to your health and well-being.

36_. Gardening is very physical. What makes gardening better than a gym workout is that it happens outdoors with fresh air and sunshine. Whether you are weeding in the down- ward dog position, or digging bags of soil, a garden delivers the full gym experience, from cardio right down to yoga.

Your garden provides you with a raw diet. Most homegrown crops taste better than store-bought, but no vegetable takes this to the next level like sweet peas. 37, but most

gardeners find that even a few vines （藤） are worth the space. A handful of freshly-shelled, raw sweet peas bursting into your mouth on a summer morning have few rivals in the food kingdom.

38. The average consumer remains at the mercy of the produce buyer at the local market, but once the home gardener discovers the diversity of colors and tastes that can be homegrown, a nutrient-rich vegetable choice opens up. Heirloom（原种的） tomatoes range in color from deep purple and nearly black to golden yellow and pale white. Besides the color, there is another benefit. 39

Your garden allows you to give. 40 , but nothing feels as great as when you share food. Imagine how it feels for others to receive fresh homegrown vegetables. A basket of heir- loom cherry tomatoes can disappear faster than a box of donuts deep fried in fat.

A. It's nice to receive gifts

B. We know that it feels good to give

C. Your garden lets you eat the rainbow

D. The vegetable garden makes you a chef

E. Growing vegetables helps you take exercise

F. Experts may not recommend sweet peas for small gardens

G. Nutritionists agree that colorful vegetables are rich in nutrition

“Bye, Mom! Don't forget to make my pie!" shouted 12-year-old Jake after kissing his mother, Susan, goodbye.

He was anxiously waiting for the bus. Moments later, the bus pulled over, and Jake hopped in, assuming it was just going to be an ordinary ride to school. “Luckily, Mom gave me $6. Otherwise I'd have to walk all the way to school, ” he thought.

The bus came to a stop, picking up Christel, a 56-year-old woman from the next stop. She was smelly and looked dirty. Some passengers frowned at her, but she was least bothered about them. Moments later, she trembled through the crowd toward an empty seat next to Jake.

“Ticket, please?!” the conductor said loudly, staring at her. Christel's face slowly started to go red. “One second, I'm looking for my purse, " she replied. “I. . . uh. . . I don't have money. I forgot to bring my purse, ＂Christel stammered（结结巴巴地说）, embarrassed.

“Lady, this is not a charity ride that picks up beggars for free. I'm stopping the bus right now. Get out!” yelled the conductor as the crowd of passengers turned toward Christel all at once.

Jake witnessed everything and was disappointed at how the conductor treated the poor woman. Then he remembered he still had some change. “Here is your $3. . . Give her a ticket, ” he said to the conductor, throwing the money into his hand.

“Thank you, sweetheart. I am forever grateful to you! What is your name, dear?” said Christel.

“I'm Jake. That's okay. I just did what I should do, " replied Jake, taking Christel's words of gratitude casually.

They talked about Jake's school life. “I want to become a baseball player, but my school does not have such facilities. I don't want to trouble my mom. She's already working hard in the restaurant. My father passed away in an accident two years ago, ” revealed Jake.

“Alright, Grandma! We've arrived at my school. I'll leave now. Bye-bye!”

Christel was touched by Jake's warm heart. She stared a second time at his school, watching him disappear inside the gate.

注意:

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The next day Christel paid a surprising visit to the school in her expensive car.

Jake didn't realize a bigger surprise was waiting for him outside the principal's office.
