• 2．Some young people win distinction （出名） because of their good looks，their dance moves or their singing ability.A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something significant and worthwhile with their abilities.Rishab Jain is among the latter.In 2018 at the age of 13，he developed a way to use artificial intelligence （人工智能） to help pancreatic （胰腺的） cancer patients.Rishab's "Pancreatic Cancer Deep Learning System" won the Discovery Education 3 M Young Scientist Challenge and is 525，000 prize.
     Rishab explains that a family friend died of cancer.Then he learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is，and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat."I'm also into programming，so I was learning about artificial intelligence.I decided to combine the two areas to try to solve a real-world problem using artificial intelligence."
     Rishab has invested his winnings in further research and in his nonprofit （非营利的） Samyak Science Society.Samyak helps poor children center the STEM.Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer.Many kids would have simply blown their prize money on a fast car or some other shallow things.Rishab has also put some money aside to further his own learning.He is considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor or both.
     How did Rishab become the one that he is？It helped that his father is an engineer.And he has been inspired by his brother and other relatives who work and do research in the medical field.He's seen how STEM jobs have given them "the opportunity to make immediate differences in people's lives".That's an outstanding outlook （见解） for one so young.Rishab is providing his teenage peers with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can accomplish.

• 3．When it comes to becoming eco-conscious，many people choose to start with something simple：recycling.But it's not as simple as everyone seems to believe.
     Indeed，the desire for some people to recycle can lead to ill-informed decisions about what can and cannot be recycled，and non-recyclable objects are accidentally put into the recycling bin.The practice is what is known as wish cycling.
     Wish cycling boils down to the idea that just about anything can be recycled，and that if you put it into a recycling bin，those who are responsible for it will find a way to recycle it.This is obviously not true，because，despite everything that you've been told by the media，not everything is recyclable.
     Small non-recyclable objects that are attached to recyclables are generally acceptable.For example，glue and tape attached to paper will be removed in the recycling process without any trouble.But improperly recycling broken eyeglasses，plastic shopping bags，food waste and greasy （油渍）pizza boxes could cause problems to the recycling process.
     The objects in the recycling bin are typically sorted by machines at recycling centers，not people.These complex machines are designed to separate plastics，paper，and other recyclables.If something is thrown into the bin that shouldn't be there，it could end up damaging the machine，which means the recycling center could lose time and money every time people decide to wish cycle.Sometimes，a non-recyclable object is able to sneak （溜）past these sorting machines.If this happens，the non-recyclable object ends up in a load of recyclables that will be sold for the recycling center to make a profit.
     However，having just one non-recyclable thing mixed in can pollute the entire load of recyclables，which has to be thrown away.
     So what you as a consumer need to do is make your own recycling practice most functional.The best way is to educate yourself.There are certain general rules when it comes to recycling that everyone should know.
  
  （1）What do we know about wish cycling？

  
  A．It is misled by the media.
  B．It leads to a better ecology.
  C．It is related to ill intentions.
  D．It comes from people's hope.
  （2）Which of the following can be put into the recycling bin according to the passage？

  
  A．Paper with glue on it.
  B．Oily pizza boxes.
  C．Plastic shopping bags.
  D．Left. -over food.
  （3）What is paragraph 5 about？

  
  A．The problems from wishcycling.
  B．The need to update the machines.
  C．The reasons for making less profit.
  D．The objects unsuitable for recycling.
  （4）What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows？

  
  A．Reducing waste.
  B．Making rules.
  C．Recycling properly.
  D．Consuming wisely.

第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

• 4．How to Raise a Child Who Loves Reading Give your kids good books to read.
     By "good" I mean quality literature that makes kids think，not just entertains them.Some books can be fun.（1）

  Keep away from lightweight （内容平庸的） books，because they may teach them to turn away from anything that makes their brains work too hard.A diet of lightweight books does not promote the patterns of thought that produce intellectual and personal excellence.
     （2）

  Kids love listening to their parents read，even as they get older，so don't stop reading aloud to your children just because they can read on their own.This is a perfect opportunity to challenge their abilities，vocabulary and worldviews by reading books.
     Remove distractions （使人分心的事物）.
     With hand-held devices （3）

  Parents should have these devices powered down and phones put away，and ask them to pull out their books.Once kids finally get into their books，it creates the same quiet，peaceful atmosphere home.
     Talk about books with your kids.
     （4）

  Ask every family member，even the youngest，what they have read that day and what they've learned from it.This will arouse discussion and debate about the issues raised in the books.
     Give our kids paper books，not e-books.
     Studies have shown children keep information better when they read it on paper，as opposed to a screen，so avoid giving your child e-books to read.A paper book allows them to create a relationship with the book，to reread and to become familiar with a book's feel and smell.（5）

  
  
  A．Read aloud to your kids.
  B．Take chances to challenge your kids.
  C．That's where parental responsibility comes in.
  D．All these are very real parts of the reading experience.
  E．Parents should inform their kids of the harmfulness of hand-held devices.
  F．The dinner table is a great place to start reflective conversations about books.
  G．But it's important to teach kids to appreciate books that may take effort to consume.
