Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing I loved was dance,” she said. In 2010, however, a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. For Hill, it was not the end of a dancing career but the beginning. Hill danced in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. It definitely took a lot of learning and patience to dance in a wheelchair. After graduation, Hill met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. It was an amazing experience for her. In 2014 Los Angeles, she formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,” she said. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety. Hill has attained what many people never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. She calls it the Rollettes Experience, and in 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello said that working with Hill challenged her to be more independent. Edna Serrano said being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car because she had more confidence. The dancers aren’t the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw the team competing and commented, “You guys are so awesome! I’m in tears when you rock! To be in a wheelchair can still be so beautiful!” 1.What do we know about Chelsie Hill from the first two paragraphs? A.She got seriously injured in a dancing match. B.She stopped dancing right after a car accident. C.She dreamed of being a dancer at a young age. D.She danced in a disabled team in high school. 2.What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 4 refer to? A.Conservative views. B.Improper behaviors. C.Incurable disabilities. D.Physical weaknesses. 3.What do we know about the Rollettes Experience? A.Audience spoke ill of the competition. B.Participants benefited greatly from it. C.It is aimed to select the best dancers. D.It made Hill’s childhood dream fulfilled. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Chelsie Hill, An Artful Dancer B.Disability, Good for Dancing C.Help others; Help Yourself D.Attaining Dancing Dream In Wheelchair

Since App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing — choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired. Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon (优惠券) for one thing: There's so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose. It isn't consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy. So what is the way forward? It may well be to tum less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services. Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers (用户) pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar — carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing. Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm (运算法则). But we've seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube. They feed you only what you've already said you like, not things you may not know you're into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward can't simply be more or better algorithms. Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from. As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less. 1.What will too much choice of content on the market result in? A.The shutdown of companies. B.Anxiety of consumers. C.Poor quality of products. D.Negative influence on economy. 2.Why is Disney planning to open its own streaming service? A.To improve its marketing strategy. B.To help people focus on less choice. C.To encourage more people to visit Disney. D.To provide consumers with various services 3.In what way may a wine club and digital content in the near future be similar? A.Someone else will be employed to make a choice for consumers. B.Both of them will offer only a few options. C.Consumers will refuse to choose from too many options. D.Both of them will make a change about their products. 4.What do we know about the algorithm? A.It manages to offer what consumers will possibly like. B.It helps to remove disturbing content from digital media. C.it offers consumers things based on what they've said they like. D.It'll solve the problem of having too much choice.

A MENTORING (导师制)program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21. Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said, “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences that will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook. “ “We try to create work experience opportunities which will make a really great difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习)with world - famous firms such as Honda.” “At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that - it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. “ Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October, the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's( UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛). The event was held for young people all over the world to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundreds of observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “ Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop. It was amazing. “ he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. “ The main theme of the forum was how youth can bring about change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: “ It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. “ The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For more details visit www. younginspiratiom. com. 1.Why is the Young Inspirations mentoring program set up? A.To train staff for world-famous firms. B.To provide youth with unique experiences. C.To equip the unemployed for future jobs. D.To offer job opportunities to young adults. 2.What does the underlined “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.the influence of unemployment B.the lack of support from firms C.the shortage of money D.the lack of opportunities 3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young Inspirations B.Kieran, a School Pupil from Banbury to Paris C.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades and Confidence D.Young People Find a World of Life-changing Opportunities
