Seven years ago, Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life, finding an exciting job in
Sydney. After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.
Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two
roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local
community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple,
“Take what you need and leave what you can.”
With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and
hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.
It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some
information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with

the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the
project alive,” Akinpe said.
We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to
be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out
similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.
Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things
such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are
other people who need them more.” Lee added.
There were many people rushing there for donations. The three girls needed to sanitize (消毒）all
the donations and make sure all food packages were not broken. Gomez said that they had no
time for rest, but what they did was well worth.

A．the way to build the Blessing Box
B．the help from the local community

I am so worried about my son’s health that I can’t help writing to you. Last night, a school
night, my 11-year- old son’s baseball team played a game that lasted until 9:30. By the time we
got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30 — an hour and a half later than a
child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting

exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also
influences his sleep.
As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and
in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their
homework. We send them to all kinds of classes — dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage
our kids to take honors courses (培优课程) or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for
hard-earned success and achievements.
However, the ironic thing is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our
children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness
away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full
physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.
Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these
measures (措施) aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying
out (实行) stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the
sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.
15．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A．The writer’s son spent too much time taking a shower.
B．The kid who gets up at 6:30 am should go to bed at 8:30 pm.
C．The writer’s son learns a lot and has a good time in the baseball team.
16．From Paragraph 2, we know that parents ________.
A．want the best for their children
B．are able to teach their children to dance at home
C．pay more attention to children’s mind than body
17．What’s the best meaning of the underlined word “ironic” in the third paragraph?
A．讽刺的 B．公平的 C．奇特的
18．From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．activities and responsibilities are sure to make children unhealthy and unhappy
B．not only parents but also schools have made efforts to help kids get enough sleep
C．some children may not have enough sleep because of too many after-school activities
19．What might happen if the headmaster read this letter?
A．More after- school classes might be given to students.
B．The school might make some rules to make sure students go to bed early.
C．Parents might be advised to make their children’s lives more colorful.
Cats are often considered lazy. They love napping( 打盹 ) on their own
comfortable r, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.
