He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “Im good at gardening,” says McKenna, now 16. “Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home?”McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKennas garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now,seven years later, McKennas Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BE A GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.“Even a smile might change someones life,” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”When COVID-19 hit the U. S., McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (配送) to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldnt work on community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.1.What caused Ians decision to help the kids in his own way?ABeing rejected by volunteer groups.BBeing good at gardening.CHis schools support.DHis mothers suggestions.2.What do we know about the Giving Garden project?AIt helps students only.BIt was started with many supports.CIt is funded by schools.DIt earns great profits every year.3.Which of the following can best describe Ian?AWell-educated.BHonest.CBoring.

Nowadays nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath, there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime (动画片).In the early days of steaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it still is. The average streamer spends $37 a month (and subscribes to three streaming platform, while the average cable (有线电视) user pays more than $200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019, Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12.5 percent, to $8.99 a month. A quarter of is subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. Few did.A major reason: Streaming networks have become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations (提名) than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on its new streaming service, Disney+. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost $29.99-on top of the service's monthly fee of $6.99.Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition “to watch many or all episodes of (a TV series) on end."

Stress in such situations means pressure, conflict, loss of control, and uncertainty. These feelings can lead to a variety of problems.  9 What is stress? Stress is your body's physical and psychological response to anything you regard as overpowering. This may be viewed as a result of life's demands, and your lack of resources to meet them.  10  This additional energy cannot be destroyed. If not used, it creates an imbalance within your system. Somehow the energy must be channeled into responses to regain a balance. 11 Without some stress you would lose your energy for living. You will do well on certain amounts; but too much or too little stress will limit your effectiveness. Ideally, you find your best level of stress-the balance at which you are most motivated. 12  It can make you spend your efforts on not being unhappy, rather than on being happy. You can become negatively influenced in your attitudes and feelings about your life more easily.In addition, medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is Stress-related.  13  High blood pressure and heart disease have been linked to stress factors.

Everywhere you look in the world there is unmistakable struggle. There are floods, tsunamis, wars and disasters of all types. Although pain is unavoidable, suffering is optional. Build your internal resources. Before adversity hits, work on cultivating ( 培养) emotional strength, courage and discipline. When you make yourself aware that certain difficulties are unavoidable, you can prepare yourself mentally for facing adversity head-on. 15 Build your external resources. Build a support system of family and friends. 16 We need someone to talk to, someone to help ease the burden ( 负担). You would be surprised to discover how often a friend has had a similar experience and can help guide you through the difficult time. That what does not kill you will make you stronger. If you do not have enough built-up resilience ( 韧性) or experience in dealing with difficulties, adversity can crush you. 17 Resilience like any muscle is built up gradually with repeated exposure to adversity. Take inspiration and learn from others who have dealt successfully with adversity. There are many inspiring stories of people who overcame seemingly insurmountable ( 无法超越的) difficulties. 18 For example, when Helen Keller was only 18 months old, she lost her sight and hearing due to a mysterious fever. She overcame her deafness and blindness to become a strong and educated woman.AWhether we like it or not, adversity is part of life.BBut just knowing a friend is there can be most comforting.CBut if you have sufficient resilience, it will make you stronger.DHe prepares himself physically and mentally for any possibility.EWhen the going gets tough, we all need encouragement and support.FUsually, when you're prepared for the worst, the worst never happens.GThey overcame adversity to live successful lives instead of yielding to it.完成后请自行核对答案！答案：(A)ABDC(B) DDCB (C) BEACG(D) AFECG学科网（北京）股份有限公司
