Recently I found a donation box in my neighborhood. People come to them when they have old clothes, bags, newspapers and books donate. This box, I think, was of great significance. My mother buys me a lot of clothes, and I grow so fast. Much clothes don’t fit for me any longer. I’ve got no ideas about how to deal with the clothes which are real new and still in good condition. However, with this donation box, I can help those people in need. In a word, I do think it is a good idea what lights up our life and makes the world the better place to live in.

Rising through stages to realize ourselves
Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. 1.. Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs (需求理论), Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. 2..
I think self-realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them. 3..
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. 4. but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance. 5.. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A.It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B.Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C.This is especially common among college students
D.Many people tend to go along with social expectations
E.Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F.It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G.Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time
For people, many other animals, family matters. Consider how many jobs go to relatives. Or how an ant will cruelly attack intruder (入侵的) ants but rescue injured, closely related nest-mates. There are good evolutionary reasons to aid relatives, after all. Now, it seems, family feelings may stir in plants as well.
A Canadian biologist planted the seed of the idea more than a decade ago, but many plant biologists regarded it as heretical-plants lack the nervous systems that enable animals to recognize kin (家族), so how can they know their relatives? But with a series of recent findings, the belief that plants really do care for their most genetically close peers-in a quiet, planty way-is taking root. Some species control how far their roots spread, others change how many flowers they produce, and a few tilt (倾斜) or shift their leaves to minimize shading of neighboring plants, favoring related individuals.
“We need to recognize that plants not only sense whether it’s light or dark or if they’ve been touched, but also whom they are interacting with,” says Susan Dudley, a plant evolutionary ecologist, whose early plant kin recognition studies sparked the interest of many scientists.
Beyond broadening views of plant behavior, the new work may have a practical side. In September 2018, a team in China reported that rice planted with kin grows better, a finding that suggested family ties can be used to improve crop yields. “It seems anytime anyone looks for it, they find a kin effect,” says Andre Kessler, a chemical ecologist at Cornell University.
1.Why are ants mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To show how cruel ants are to their enemies.
B.To lay foundation for the idea of plants’ family feelings.
C.To introduce the topic of how family matters to animals.
D.To explain why people usually give more jobs to their relatives.
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “heretical” in paragraph 2?
A.Indescribable. B.Understandable. C.Impossible. D.Traditional.
3.What may be the plants’ way of expressing their care for relatives?
A.They stop producing flowers to avoid competition.
B.They spread their roots far so as to protect their peers.
C.They care for their injured peers by silently taking roots.
D.They move their leaves to share sunlight with their close peers.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Different plants mustn’t be planted together.
B.Corn planted with corn can produce more than that with rice.
C.China has put the idea into wide practice and achieved great success.
D.The closer rice is planted with their relatives the more they will produce.
Vancouver has had a crazy property (房地产) market since it hosted the winter Olympics in 2010. The downtown area is forested with new apartment blocks. Prices have risen by nearly 60% in the past three years. But until recently developers have largely avoided Chinatown. It is an underdeveloped area. Many Chinatown residents are old and poor.
Developers now have Chinatown in their sights. Two years ago one built a 17-storey apartment building on its edge. This alarmed many residents, who had formed a group to stop the high-rise advance, now called SaveChinatownYVR. Ms. Melody Ma is its leader. Recently it has been successful.
The main theatre of battle is a car park known as 105 Keefer, where Beedie Living plans to build a nine-storey brick-and-glass apartment block. The developer promises 111 luxury flats, with rooftop landscaping and shops below.
105 Keefer is in an area rich with cultural associations. Just to the south is a monument to Chinese-Canadian builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway and veterans of the Second Word War. Across the street is the Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. “A lot of people were frightened” because of the building’s “closeness to sacred sites in the heart of Chinatown,” says Ms. Ma. Some residents also fear that it will push up rents.
Conservationists hope that the parking lot is where they can stop development, which they say has spoilt the charm of other Vancouver neighborhoods such as Mount Pleasant. The dispute (分歧) is part of a debate about the city’s identity, says Andy Yan, an urban planner. Vancouverites, he says, are asking themselves, “Who are we? And what are we building for?” The people who might want to buy the flats that do not yet exist are, of course, not being consulted.
1.What will Ms. Melody Ma agree?
A.To preserve Chinatown.
B.To rebuild Chinatown.
C.To build skyscrapers in Chinatown.
D.To promote the property market in Chinatown.
2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A.To state some reasons. B.To offer some advice.
C.To make some comparisons. D.To introduce a new topic.
3.What is Vancouverites attitude towards the recent development in Chinatown?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Unfavorable. D.Divided.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.The alarmed citizens of Vancouver.
B.The cultural associations of 105 Keefer.
C.The property battle in Vancouver’s Chinatown.
D.The identity of Vancouver.
