Since the mid-1980s,the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Burn Camp has been offering children with burn sears a week of relief."They have a lot of emotional things that they go through,trying to fit back in with society with their scars,"said Becky Mundy.burn center education coordinator at Akron Children's Hospital.

The camp typically has around 15 campers.Many are repeat customers,and most were treated at Akron Children's Hospital or began coming after they moved to the area.The camp is free to campers and is funded by an organization named Aluminum Cans for Burned Children which raises money for burn survivors and their families.

The Thursday of the camp week is Fire Truck Day,when dozens of local fire trucks arrive, along with camp alumni(校友），doctors and nurses,and family members.Campers get to see fire vehicles up close and interact with the firefighters.

Sometimes,they are the very ones who rescued the campers,months or years earlier.It is,they say,a bond that never goes away.But Fire Truck Day contributes in another way,allowing them to see each other in a different light.

Memories of a bad fire can be unforgettable.Nearly two years ago,Pazdernik carried an injured girl out of a burning house in which her parents perished,and later the girl was adopted by a kind family.

On Fire Truck Day,Pazdernik got to see the girl he saved,Shaniya Simpson.She shared a hug with the firefighters who had rescued her.and said it was good to see them.

＂I think it helps her heal,"said Kim Canterbury,who was Shaniya's teacher at the time of the fire."Just by saying thank you."

It was good for Pazdernik,too."To see her go on with life and be happy,you're able to see that you had an impact on her,"he said."lt's definitely a lot more fulfilling."

1.Which kind of children does the camp work for?(no more than 5 words)

2.Who provides financial support for the camp?(no more than 10 words)

3.Why does Fire Truck Day have special meaning to both firefighters and the campers?（no more than 15 words)

4.What does the underlined word"perished"in Paragraph 5 mean?(only I word)

5.If you are to be a volunteer of the camp,what will you do to help the campers?（no more than 25 words)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”

1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A.News reports. B.Research papers.

C.Private e-mails. D.Daily conversations．

2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A.They’re socially inactive.

C.They’re inconsiderate of others.

D.They’re careful with their words.

3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

A.Sports new. B.Science articles.

C.Personal accounts. D.Financial reviews.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

D.Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

    Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information. But what would happen in practice is another matter,” he says.

Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.

Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.

1.What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.

C.Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.

D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

2.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether_______.

A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme

B.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think

C.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale

D.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

3.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because_______.

A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old

B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand

C.the information they collected could become more valuable in future

D.it remains unknown how users’data will be taken advantage of

4.The writer advises users of social media to_______.

A.think carefully before posting anything onto such websites

B.read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark

C.take no further action if they can find a kitemark

D.avoid providing too much personal information

    Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s leant into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.

"We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "

The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.

With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.
