A
Students in a college French class have helped fill the empty bookshelves
of a very poor Haitian(海地的) school by writing 90 books. Although many
children in Haiti speak Creole(克里奥尔语) at home, French is taught in
classrooms and used by the government , and students are asked to know the
language in order to get further education. Therefore, the class hoped to
provide resources to help the young students learn French well.
The project, called Little French Books, was headed up by Jennifer Shotwell,
a French professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Shotwell
had visited Haiti with a group of students in 2020 to support a Haitian student
and give books to a new library. Following the trip, Shotwell brought the
experience back to her classroom.
“My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by
writing children’s books,” Shotwell said. “Though some learners don’t
think they can produce much with a new language, my students are learning
to express themselves and create entertaining stories that we finally share
with disadvantaged children who are also learning French.”
Shotwell had sent French books to Haitian schools, but they were printed on
cheap paper that could be easily broken. So she started a Kickstarter, which
collected more than $$1,000 to make books with durable covers.
The books , which included stories about princesses, dinosaurs and exciting
experiences, were given to the l’s school in Lascahobas.
“Each time a child gets into a new book, he will no doubt get new knowledge
and new understanding. The Little French Books means a lot to our students,
said Gardy Myrtil, a teacher at the school.
21. Why do the college students create books for children in Haiti?
A. To help the children learn French.
B. To follow the government’s requirements.
C. To stop the children from speaking Creole.
D. To make the library open with enough books.
22. What can we learn about the Little French Books?
A. It was started in 2020 by a student.
B. It is in charge of Jennifer Shotwell.
C. It helps set up many new libraries in Haiti.
D. It provides textbooks as well as storybooks .
23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “durable”in
Paragraph 4 ?
A. strong. B. colorful. C. beautiful. D. thin.
24. What does Gardy Myrtil want to say in the last paragraph?
A. More libraries should be open for kids.
B. She is thankful to the project for its effort.
C. kids should read more books in their free time.
D. The more books kids read, the clever they’ll be.

Archerfish(射水鱼), a species famous for spitting (吐) water to shoot insects
out of the air, can recognize one human face from another.
In the laboratory, instead of shooting insects , the fish were taught to spit
at pictures of human faces showed on a computer screen outside their aquarium.
The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of
them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the
fish would recognize and spit at the face they had learned from among 44 new
ones. And they were right more than 80% of the time.
To the researchers’ surprise, even when they did that with faces that were
in black and white, the fish were still able to find the face they were trained
to recognize.
Telling one human face from another is a surprisingly difficult task. As we
all have two eyes above a nose and a mouth, doing so depends on recognizing
some extremely small differences.
“It has been supposed that this task is so difficult that it can only be
completed by higher animals, which have a large and complex brain,” said
Newport, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. “But
the archerfish were able to do this without having a neocortex, the most
recently developed part of the brain. In humans, the neocortex governs our
sense and language.”
“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and they don’t have the section of
the brain that humans use for recognizing faces,” Newport said. “Even
though, many fish show amazing visual (视力的) behaviors and therefore make
the perfect subjects to test whether simple brains can complete complex
tasks.”
29. What were the archerfish asked to do in the laboratory?
A. Pick out the face they knew.
B. Shoot the computers from a far distance.
C. Count the number of faces on the screen.
D. Pick out black and white pictures from colorful ones.
can we learn about the archerfish?
A. They have a complex brain.
B. Their neocortex is very large.
C. They belong to higher animals.
D. They have excellent eyesight.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To encourage people to protect fish.
B. To introduce a kind of fish with special ability.
C. To introduce the result of a study on archerfish.
D. To show that animals with simpler brains are smarter.

7-year-old Anaya Ellick was born without hands, but she’s mastered the art
of writing by holding her pencil in between the ends of her arms. The great
first-grader refused to use prosthetics(假肢), but chose to practice using
her own arms. Anaya got so good at it that this year she actually won the
National Handwriting Competition for her beautiful writing.
Anaya’s parents, Bianca and Gary, were naturally shocked and worried sick
when they first found out she didn’t have hands. But Anaya proved to be a
normal child, learning even earlier to tie her shoes, dress herself, and
trying to do other things by herself before asking for help. Her ambitious
(有雄心的) nature was also mentioned by Tracy Cox, the headmaster of her
school. “There is truly very little that this girl cannot do,” she said.
“ She is determined (有决心的)， independent, lovely and active. She is a
no-excuses type of young lady.”
It was Cox who entered Anaya for the handwriting competition held by
Zaner-Bloser. Anaya competed against 50 other children with intellectual,
physical, or developmental disabilities and managed to win first place, a
$$ 1,000 prize and the respect of people around the world.
“We looked at her writing and we were just surprised to see how beautiful
her handwriting was, considering she writes without hands” said competition
