A
American track and field athlete Jacqueline Joyner-Kersee once
said,“Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.” And 50-
year-old Indian Lakyntiew Syiemlieh stands an evidence for this saying.
She recently cleared her Class 12 board exams. Lakyntiew,who has four
children and two grandchildren, decided to go after her higher secondary
education over three decades after dropping out of school. Earlier this
year, she was one of the 24,267 students who appeared for the state
board's Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate(HSSLC) exam.
Lakyntiew took part in the exams for the arts stream and had chosen
subjects like Khasi,English, Political Science, Economics, and Education
as her areas of specialization.
On July 13,2020,when the results were announced, she was excited.
“Though I only got the third division(分段)，my children were still so
excited that they started shouting, hugging, and kissing me when the
results were declared,"said Lakyntiew.
In fact,the grandmother of two has expressed her interest in
pursuing(追求) higher studies in the field of local language. Lakyntiew
took up a distance education course offered by a university in 2015. She
stopped going to school because mathematics was too difficult for her to
understand. She was offered a job to teach in a preschool in 2008, and
that was the beginning of her love for re-learning.
Being the oldest student in the class, most of Lakyntiew's classmates
called her as "Mei”, which means “mother” in the local language. Besides
concentrating on academics,she also participated in after-class activities
like field trips, dance competitions, and singing challenges, among others.
Age is not a problem when one is in search of education. Lakyntiew
Syiemlieh is an example for everybody,and especially for those who give
up studies midway.

As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee
would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing away half-eaten
sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him not
to waste food.
While studying finance and accounting at New York University,
Robert remembered this lesson all the time. When Robert and his friend
Louisa Chen entered a college entrepreneurship (创业）contest，they
proposed an idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group： Their program
would deliver leftovers from the dining hall to homeless shelters seven
days a week all by volunteers. Their idea won the competition. With the $
1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013.
In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough
spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people at a New York City homeless
shelter.
Robert, who had taken a job as an analyst at J. P. Morgan, devoted his
spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants, from small
delis (熟食店）to large chains like Starbucks and Panera Bread, agreeing
to donate food, and he enlisted volunteers to make food deliveries. After
RLC received national press attention, homeless shelters and soup
kitchens in Portland, Oregon, Washington, DC and other cities reached
out to Robert for partnership advice. The organization now reaches 16
cities around the country.
Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary
to focus on RLC “．I compared one hour of impact at J. P. Morgan to one
hour at RLC，and the difference was just tremendous,” he says. “One
shelter told us that our donations allowed them to provide entire dinners
for more than 300 people, three nights a week，” Robert says. “Things
like that make me gladly quit my job.”
25．How did Robert feel when his classmates threw away food?
A．Astonished. B．Embarrassed.
C．Disappointed. D．Interested.
26．What do we know about the RLC?
A．It won $ 1,000 prize.
B．It got supported by many restaurants.
C．It asked the homeless shelters for advice.
D．It has branches all over the world.
27．Why did Robert leave his job at J P Morgan?
A．One shelter spoke highly of him.
B．RLC offered him six-figure salary.
C．He could make a bigger difference in society.
D．The work at J. P. Morgan was not suitable for him.
28．Which of the following best describes Robert?
A．Confident. B．Modest.
C．Humorous. D．Selfless.
C
When we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting
tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting.
After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who
couldn’t read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it
on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.
Opponents claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern
world. Typed words have become a primary form of communication.
Once a practical kill handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of
Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time
that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for instance, by
teaching the technical skills.
But even in today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen
and apply it to paper. Many American institutions still require original
signatures, for instance, signing for a registered letter and buying a house.
And original signatures are much more difficult to forge(伪造) than their
digital counterparts. There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is
good for the mind. It activates a different part of the brain, and improves
fine moving skills in young children. People also tend to remember what
