Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014, a friend inspired him to perform an act of
kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked
goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike
asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the
30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that
kind of attention? At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this
question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and
work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or
WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a
football game.
Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated
her partner, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding — a hobby he’d given up when he became
physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the
day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes
down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that
anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own
dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be
encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide
movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’re
trying to create.”
24. Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness?
A. She lived alone and could hardly cook.
B. She had difficulty in using social media.
C. She was always friendly to the neighbors.
D. She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
25. Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY?
A. A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B. An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time.
C. A senior high student looking forward to a trip to England.
D. A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
26. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. regained B. reserved C. remembered D. resolved
27. What is the pair’s purpose of recording the WAY wishes?

Do you speak a Chinese dialect in your daily life? While Mandarin is widely spoken by people across
China, some local dialects are in danger of dying out. To save them, the Ministry of Education and the
State Language Commission launched the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project CLRPP years
ago.
This project, which surveyed the language resources of 1,712 locations including 103 with
endangered Chinese dialects, has helped China successfully build the largest language resource library in
the world. The online library not only meets the needs of professional researchers but also enables the
public to access over 5.6 million audio files and over 5 million video files for their dialect learning.
When it comes to the reason, Dr. Zhang, chief expert on CLRPP, once expressed his concerns in an
article. “For about over a decade, in Wu dialect areas, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly
speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not fluently, Zhang said. “If
this continues, dialects will disappear in a few decades. When local dialects disappear, where will our
nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings find their home?”
As China is a vast country with a wide variety of dialects, national efforts have been made to
establish a language resource library. “Most international language protection projects are implemented by
separate efforts. But in China, it’s a national project,” said Zhang. Within five years, more than 350
universities and research institutions took part in the project, with over 4,500 professional technicians and
more than 6,000 language dialect speakers involved.
Language protection not only relies on the government and experts but also on the involvement of
billions of language users. The project supports schools to set up some extracurricular classes so students
can learn dialects and local opera performances. Currently, the second stage of the project is underway. Its
main tasks include the deeper development of digital applications, such as digital and mobile dictionaries
for dialects as well as multilingual textbooks.
28. What do we know about CLRPP?
A. It has provided a large number of audio and video files for researchers.
B. It has saved at least 103 endangered Chinese dialects from 1,712 locations.
C. It has played a vital role in setting up an online library for dialect learning.
D. It has made a collection of all the endangered dialects in different locations.
29. What can we infer from Dr. Zhang’s words?
A. Young children in Wu area can no more speak the dialect.
B. Natives have urgent desire to save the dialects in the future.
C. The fluency of local dialects raised much concern nationwide.
D. People may lose a sense of belonging as local dialects die out.
30. What differs China with other countries in language protection?
A. Only China has libraries for protection of language resource.
B. Chinese government has invested more on language protection.
C. China is home to more types of dialects than other countries do.
D. People in China made joint efforts to protect their local dialects.
31. Which is helpful to language protection?
A. Promotion of local opera performances.
B. Mobile dictionaries for Chinese learning.
C. Further exploration of existing textbooks.
D. Extracurricular classes of digital development.
D
Napping (小睡) may be part of life for most of us. However, some countries where daytime naps
have long been part of the culture, such as Spain, now discourage the habit. Meanwhile, some
companies in the US now promote napping as a way to boost productivity. “It’s important to try to
reveal the biological pathways that contribute to the reason why we nap,” says Dashti from Harvard
Medical School.
Previously, co-senior author Richa Sexena at Massachusett s General Hospital (MGH) and his
colleagues used many databases of genetic and lifestyle information to study other aspects of sleep.
To gain a better understanding of the genetics of napping, they performed a genome ( 基因组)-wide
association study (GWAS), which includes rapid scanning of complete sets of DNA of a large
number of people.
For this study, the researchers used data from the UK Biobank, which includes genetic
information from 452,633 people. All the participants were asked to classify their naps during the day
as “never/rarely”, “sometimes” or “usually”. The GWAS identified 123 regions in the human genome
connected with daytime napping. Then the participants wore activity monitors called accelerometers,
which can provide data about daytime napping. This data also showed that the self-reports about
napping were accurate.
Several other features of this study support its results. For example, the researchers obtained
similar findings in an analysis of the genomes of 541,333 people collected by 23andMe, a consumer
genetic-testing company. Also, a significant number of the genes near or at regions identified by the
GWAS are already known to play a role in sleep.
The team also identified at least three potential mechanisms (机制) that promote napping. Some
people need more shut-eye than others. A daytime nap can help make up for poor-quality sleep the
night before. People who rise early may “catch up” on sleep with a nap. “This tells us that daytime
napping is biologically driven and not just an environmental or behavioral choice,” says Dashti.
Some of these mechanisms are linked to health concerns, such as a large waistline and increased
blood pressure, though more research on those associations is needed.
32. What did the researchers at MGH focus on in their new study?
A. The causes of long napping time.
B. The benefits of napping frequently.
C. The reasons behind the napping habit.
D. The genes contributing to poor sleeping quality.
