In some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor's degree.Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid's age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own.Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew/' a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid's school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him, said Reid.That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2021, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.“Remember that path that you left waits fbr you. It's there. It's yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it.

It's where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins to a developing mind.One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!" of a great science showing.Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its languagemath! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation of voters, creators and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.24. What is the text mainly about?A. How kids can make use of science. B. Why science is important.C.What kids should learn at school.D. Why kids should learn science.25.

Refusing any ideas that are not logical. 30. If a child works hard at science at school, he/she.A. usually has no time for other subjects.B. is usually bad at such subjects like history.C. is likely to learn many other subjects well.D. usually loses interest in other activities.31. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. Science is too difficult for children.B. Science could make children love learning.C. Children usually consider science boring.D. Children who can't think carefully shouldn't learn science.DAn air-conditioner has become a sign of middle-class status in developing nations. But as air-conditioners appear from windows and storefronts across the world, scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed about the impact of the gases on which they run.The oldest CFC coolants used in air-conditioners, which are highly damaging to the ozone layer, have been largely rejected from use; and the newest ones, used widely in industrialized nations, have little or no effect on the ozone layer. But these newest gases have an another impact -they contribute to global warming thousands of times more than CO2 does, the standard greenhouse gas. Indeed, the leading scientists in the field have just calculated that if all the equipment entering the world market uses the newest gases currently employed in air-conditioners, up to 27 percent of all global warning will result from thosegases by 2050.So the treatment to curone global environmental disaster is now seeding another.There is precious little time to do something, to act/ said Stephen O. Andersen, the co-chairman of an international organization's technical and economic advisory panel.Promising technologies wait, blocked in the wings. In China and a few other countries, room air-conditioners using hydrocarbons-which cause little warming or ozone damage-are already coming off assembly lines in small numbers but have not yet been approved for sale, in part because the chemicals are flammable （易燃的）.Yet in Europe, refrigerators that cool with hydrocarbons have been in use for years, and some companies in the United States, such as Pepsi and Ben and Jerry's, have recently changed in-store coolers from HFCs to hydrocarbons as part of sustainabilityplans. But the patent is being argued. And some governments have still not finished safety testing.Mr. Wypior, whose agency is trying to promote climate-friendly air-conditioning industries in India and China, said: "The technologies are available. They're well known. They're proven一 though not at scale. So why aren't we moving?32. What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Air-conditioners* influence on the ozone layer.B.Scientists efforts to control the greenhouse gases.C.The seriousness of global warning faced by the whole world.D.The harmful effect of the newest gases used in air-conditioners.33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A.These newest gases are used in the wrong direction.B.These newest gases should be banned from producingC.These newest gases will lead to global warming.D.These newest gases carry both benefits and harms.34. Why are hydrocarbons not widely used in air-conditioners?A.Hydrocarbons are mainly used in refrigerators.B .People are still arguing about their security.C.Hydrocarbons are not friendly to the environment.D.Most countries haven't mastered the related technologies.35. What's Mr.Wypiofs attitude to climate-friendly air-conditioner?A. Positive. B. Negative.C.Unconcerned. D. Indifferent.第二节 供5小题；每题2.5分，总分值125分）阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When you're a writer, finishing your book and publishing it is your biggest dream. You're curious asto how people will react to it, and whether it could sell or not.36 There are either things you wanttochange about it, or fear about people's reaction. Still, you shouldn't let these things stop you from goingafter your dream. Below are some of the most common fears that new writers face, and how to beat them.OriginalityFor many new writers, originality is an issue. Considering there are so many writers out there, it's hardto know if someone thought of an idea before you did.37 And it's not really pleasant beingseen as athief. The thing is that it's hard to come out with something thats entirely original as well. As long as youput the idea into practice in a different way, it shouldn't be an issue. As long as you are able to cover a topicdeeply, as well as provide a new and unique perspective, that should work.People's OpinionIt s hard not to think about what people will think about your book, as they are the ones who have thefinal word. One of the biggest fears many writers deal with is how their book will be perceived by readers,and it's human nature to think about the bad stuff first. Not only you're afraid you won*t getlnstagramfollowers that are fans of the book, but you also fear the book won't sell.38 So why letthis thought killyour mood? A book's goal is to re-frame old information or make new claims, so what people say shouldnstop you.No Time to WritePeople get busy, it's normal. Nevertheless, it shouldn't stop you from doing what you love.39 Youcan take that time and use it to write instead. Nobody says that you have to write endless pages in a day. Writing a book is a whole process, and nobody is rushing you. Make sure you schedule your time, so youhave time to write at least one hour daily.40You want fans to connect with you and it can be disheartening when things like your social followinggrows slowly. Try using tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to get followers. A. Growing your fan base.B. Communicate with your fans.C. Don*t let the details stop you fr
