People say that one man can't make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw（A 力车）driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy（代理人）commissioner's（委员会）office. They have no land of their own.Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn't listen. Abdul's 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.Abdulas neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.nI can't do it alone. I need the help of you all,“ Abdul said in his speech.23.

TikTok Keeps Growing Among US YouthD“Baby signing“ classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons-in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs-enable children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement-born in the United States-which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as "milk” “more" "all gone” "fbod” and "tired” . It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child's intelligence.But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, "Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think 'if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother，zHowever, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, "So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it." 32. Which of the following may help improve children's language skills?A. Talking to them as much as possible.B. Using simple words and phrases.C. Buying them more books and DVDs.D Creating a serious home environment.33. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that.A. they are sure of the effects of themB. they are influenced by othersC. they don't want to be looked down uponD. they don't know how to teach their childrenThe underlined word “sustained“ in the last paragraph means “ .A. foundB. got rid of C. supported D. quit 35. What's the main idea of the text?A. Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.B. Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.D. How to teach children to communicate effectively.第二节共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值12.5分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入的空白处的最正确选项。选 项中有两项为多余选项。Forgiveness （宽恕）Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess（控制）.When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 Try the following steps:Calm yourself.37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender （冒子日者）.Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.
