Eleven-year-old Ruby Chitsey loves asking that question, but its not a game she plays. She asks the seniors (老年人) at nursing homes in Arkansas where sh

18、e lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make their wishes come true. Ruby has long been close to the elders. Her mother has worked in nursing homes for many years. Ruby often stays with her in summer and asks the seniors if they need anything. Last May, Ruby noticed an old lady named Pearl

19、staring (凝视) out a window. She seemed sad. What are you looking at? Ruby asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner. Ruby asked around and discovered that the nursing home didnt allow the seniors to have dogs and Pearl couldnt afford to pay anyone to look after her do

20、g. Ruby also heard many stories about Pearls friends there and found that they were unable to afford life costs. That was when she decided to do something about it. She started by asking the seniors what three things they wanted most in the world. Her mother worried that people would ask for cars an

21、d other things that an 11-year-old wouldnt be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate, fries, and even just pants that fit properly. I felt really upset, Ruby says. We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many things as we could. Using their own money,

22、 Ruby and her mother helped about 100 people in three months. Then, they started asking for donations (捐款). The good people in Arkansas strongly supported them, so Ruby and her mother set up a GoFundMe pageThree Wishes for Rubys Residents. After GoFundMe named Ruby a Kid Hero and spread her story in

23、ternationally, Three Wishes raised more than $ 250, 000 in five months. One of Rubys new goals is to set up a shared computer in one nursing home in each state. Ruby doesnt plan to stop there.

A.Naughty.B.Humorous.C.Caring.D.Cheerful.16.阅读理解 Old habits, especially bad ones, can be hard to break. People often make

26、fun of New Years resolutions (决心). However, resolutions present a big opportunity for self-improvement. Fortunately, social science has some ideas about how to start a good habit and stick to it. Gary Charness and Uri Gneezy, two scientists at the University of Chicago, did some research, where 120

27、students were asked to take part in an experiment about exercise habits, and each of them would get $175 in the end. The students were randomly assigned (随机分配) to three groups. The first group got the money for just giving researchers permission (允许) to record their gym attendance. The second group

28、gave permission, but had to go to the gym at least once the next month. The final group gave permission and had to go to the gym eight times that month. Unsurprisingly, the group that had to make eight gym visits to get paid exercised more than the other two groups. After the payments stopped, these

29、 students kept going to the gym at higher rates (频率). They went to the gym about twice as often as the other two groups. In another study, researchers invited 151 students to work out in the gym, and randomly assigned 75 to a temptation-bundling group. As they exercised, they listened to the start o

30、f an attractive audio-novel (有声小说). At the end of their workout, students were told that if they wanted to hear what happened next in their book, they would have to come back to the gym. They could only listen to the audio-book while exercising. The other 76 students also completed the first workout

31、 but without any kind of temptation bundle. It turned out that the students in the temptation-bundling group visited the gym 27% more often than the control group over the next seven weeks. Sadly, the temptation-bundling trick fell apart over the Thanksgiving holiday when the gym was closed. The stu

32、dies show that trying something new quite often for as little as a month can kick-start a lasting change in behavior. Moreover, temptation-bundling may also be a useful method for changing behavior, particularly when used together with other methods. Even if you cannot promise yourself to stick with

33、 something for long, there is a huge benefit in putting in a lot of energy for a few weeks. It may pay off for longer than you think. So, why not challenge yourself with next New Years resolution?（1）What can we learn from the two studies? A.The students got different payments according to their gym

34、attendance.B.The temptation-bundling group loved audio-novels more than the other group.C.27% of students in the temptation-bundling group exercised more often than before.D.The students who exercised more often at first were more likely to keep working out.（2）The third paragraph is mainly about _.

35、A.how the research was performedB.what was found in the researchC.why the scientists did the researchD.who took part in the research（3）The underlined word temptation-bundling in Paragraph 5 probably means _. A.forming new habits by trying something you didnt like beforeB.connecting something you lik

36、e with something you have to doC.improving your workout skills by listening to audio-booksD.pushing yourself by doing two tasks at the same time（4）What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A.To encourage people to go to the gym more often.B.To present a new way to do scientific resea

37、rch.C.To offer advice on how to develop a good habit.D.To stress the importance of New Years resolutions.17.阅读理解 Taking a gap year after high school is getting more popular among young adults each year. According to the American Gap Year Association (AGA), a gap year is often a year-long break taken

38、 between high school and college. AGA stresses that a gap year is a year on, rather than a year off, to oppose the belief that students are taking this time off as a vacation from schooling. Gap years offer an opportunity for experiential learning. They allow you to leave the classroom and learn new

39、 skills and ideas through doing something. You might find yourself in completely new situations that call for special problem-solving skills. Moreover, many students go through twelve years of schooling in the same place with the same group of people. By taking a gap year, they can step out of their

40、 comfort zone (区域) and into an entirely new culture. Just like gaining new experiences on a gap year, they can also meet new people of all different ages and walks of life. Finally, a gap year can also be a great way to get yourself recharged (重新充电). Instead of immediately jumping into the next four

41、 years of your education, you can take a break from the classroom and focus on your personal interests and passions. Many top universities encourage accepted students to take a gap year before starting college. However, before you get too excited about the idea of taking a gap year, you should also

42、know about possible drawbacks. If you take a gap year, you could fall a year behind your peers (同伴). To catch up, you have to come up with a plan to graduate in three years. For the most part, studies show that students who take a gap year find themselves more driven when they arrive at college. How

43、ever, you might find it difficult to return to an educational environment after taking a year away from the classroom. There is no set time-line for your education, and going straight from high school to college definitely isnt for everyone. For me personally, I still benefit from my gap year experience traveling in European
