Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business

AilieCandy. By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the

invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy

bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick

of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy

candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore

asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some

research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.

With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting

trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn

more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using

natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.

Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father

secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's

product-Cancandy.

As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is

enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring.

She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.

Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore

wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's

profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit

for Alice Moore.

24. How did Moore react to her dad's warning?

A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out.

C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists.

25. What is special about CanCandy?

A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners.

C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.

26. What does Moore expect from her business?

A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles.

C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies.

27. What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?

A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.

B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.

C. Positive thinking and action result in success.

D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied

Squirrels aren’t natural city dwellers(居民). In 1986 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s

city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor”.

Around that time, the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to

“create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,” says University of Pennsylvania historian

Etienne Benson, who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years.

First, they were introduced to Philadelphia, then to New Haven, Boston, and New York City.

Park visitors were encouraged to feed them, and security guards ensured their safety. In the 1910s

a leader of the Boy Scouts of America(an organization teaching boys practical skills)said that

teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with

sympathy, says Benson.

By the early 20th century, though, America began to regret the friendliness it had shown

squirrels. Cities had once been filled with animals—from horses pulling goods to dairy cows. By

the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside. Pets and wild animals such

as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom.

Before long, people’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore off, and they started to see them as

annoyances. By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures. Today, it is rare to find kids

with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree. And, unfortunately, with more and more

buildings being constructed in the city, fewer inhabitable( 适宜栖息的)areas are left for the little

tree-dwelling animals.

What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think there’s

something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets

but share the land with us,” says Benson. “It’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see

other creatures going around making lunch. It’s good for the soul.”

28. What’s the purpose of introducing squirrels to Philadelphia?

A. To entertain park visitors. B. To keep the natural balance.

C. To encourage kids to protect animals. D. To make the urban life more peaceful.

29. What was the Boy Scouts leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels?

A. Disagreeable. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uncaring.

30. What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s?

A. They might have inhabited more homes.

B. They might have begun to go out of favor.

C. They might have been introduced to more cities.

D. They might have been moved to the countryside.

31. What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph?

A. Squirrels living in cities are annoying.

B. Feeding squirrels should be discouraged.

C. Squirrels should be allowed to live in cities.

D. It is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets.

More primary care doctors in a community (社区）appear to lead to improved life expectancy

for people living there，though a lack of such physicians across U.S. could be a cause of concern

for overall population health in years to come.

For the study, researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering

2005 to 2015 in the U. S.，along with life expectancy and specific causes of death. They found

that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51. 5-

day increase in life expectancy, while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100, 000

population increased life expectancy by 19. 2 days. An increase in primary care physicians also

was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.

Along with those findings, though, the study said many communities did not have primary care

physicians in 2015，with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban

areas. Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of

primary care, however, payment difference between primary care and technical specialties

continue to dispirit the U. S. primary care physician workforce.
