store,you expect to pay for your goods with money.But students at a high schoolin Texas,US,opened a store that runs on good deeds.04/27In November,students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger launched a grocery store thatenables students to 31.necessities such as toilet paper,meat and basic food items using a point system.The storeaims to support families in need.“In our school district,there are 32.2,750 students enrolled and throughout the district,43 percent of thesestudents are considered economically 33.J Anthony Love,principal of Linda Tutt told CNN.About 3.6 percentof our students are considered homeless.We thought it was important to 34.them and their families and make surethey had food on the table.”Students earn points by 35.positively to the school.For those students from poor families,the point systemhas provided a way fbr them to shop fbr their families,according to Love.They can earn points for doing choresaround the building or helping to clean,he said.With the help of partners like Texas Health.Albertsons and First Refuge Ministries,the school was able tostock the shelves.The number of points for each item was actually 36.by the students.t4So we walked through here anddecided that a can of green beans was one point,9,said Paul Juarez,the executive director of First RefugeMinistries.Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets 37.in other

experience at the store,such as making good spending choices and budgeting.The store 39.was also welcomed by Thomas Muir,Sanger s mayor.We all had our first jobs and it taught ushow to work,and what you got fbr your work,he said.I think this will do that for them too,and also meetan40.need.III.Reading ComprehensionSection A?Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fillin each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many things happen when people are ageing.Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin,there is a(n)_41 change which comes with older age.When humans reach their later years,they favour more long-term _42 and their social cirele is reduced.Now,for what appears to be the first time,scientists have seen the same 43 in another species.Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees（猩猩）reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their _44 friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social _45 of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old.They classified the chimps 46depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed（梳毛）them.They then rated（分类）thevarious pairings as mutual（相互的）friendships,where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship;47friendships,where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other;and non-friendships,where neitherchimp showed 48 the other.When the scientists looked at the 49 of friendships,they found that the older chimps had moremutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps.Another 50 seen in olderhumans was also spotted in the chimps.As the males got older,their levels of 51 gradually become less,meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers 52.According to an idea in psychology known associo-emotional selectivity theory,older humans prefer more 53 relationships because they are aware thattime is running out.However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees 54 the human sense ofmortality（死亡）,suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar,a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford,said in humans,the _55 social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lackof opportunity.In chimpanzees,as older males compete less for mates,they may focus on close,reciprocal（5 M的）relationships with trusted partners,he said.41.A.physicalB.intellectualC.emotionalD.functional42.A.habitsB.friendsC.tasksD.ideas43.A.problemB.obstacleC.struggleD.behaviour44.A.establishedB.respectiveC.experiencedD.thoughtful45.A.skillsB.reputationsC.interactionsD.positions46.A.intelligenceB.relationshipsC.popularityD.performances47.A.easy-goingB.warm-heartedC.self-relyingD.one-sided48.A.respect
