8、 Katie Blomquist, a lst grade teacher at Pepperhill Elementary School in North Charleston, South Carolina, learned last year that one of her students wanted a bike for his birthday. But his parents could not afford it. So, like most other people that you will find here on InspireMyKids, she decided
9、to do something about it!First, she thought about how to get a bike for that child. Then, she decided to think bigger. How could she also give a bike to his brother? Or how about a bike to every child in her class? Finally, her vision got even bolder! How might she find bikes for the 650 poor kids t
10、hat make up her entire school. Even though Ms. Blomquist could not afford to buy the bikes herself, she felt she now had to do something about it!So, she decided to start a GoFundMe campaign to raise money. Her request caught on! In less than 6 months, over 1,000 donors from around her community, an
11、d even 10 countries around the world, provided over $80,000 in donations! This was enough to buy more than 600 bikes for Pepperhill students, along with locks!After a big ceremony to surprise the kids, Ms. Blomquists effort is not done. Katie Blomquist is starting a charity called “Going Places”, wi
12、th a mission to bring joy to deserving children from low income families by providing them with bikes, swim lessons, summer camp chances, and more.

When the natural climate changes due to global warming, it can surely affect seals. The majority of them live in the An
16、tarctic region so as the ice is melting, their natural habitat（栖息地）can be seriously affected. These changes dont take place overnight. They can be the result of many years of additional temperatures in the area. The seals then have to find ways to adapt.Seals depend on the cool air currents to bring
17、 plenty of food for them. When the temperatures get higher, there is less and less food and the seal population starts to get depleted. Mothers arent healthy enough to feed their babies. Many of them end up abandoned as the mothers have to leave to find their own source of food.The fact that their d
18、esire to produce young can be changed by the warmer temperatures is frightening too. It is also believed that the warmer temperatures can allow different diseases and viruses to attack the seals. This is a huge concern as they can rapidly wipe out huge numbers of seals out there.However, these chang
19、es in climate and temperature arent all bad for other species of seals. Scientists have found that those living in warmer climates are producing more young due to the changes. Research also shows that the females are moving further to find food and water. When they are out of the reach of the govern
20、ing males, they are more willing to accept the moves of other males in the group.This is good news too because it means that there will be more selection in the gene pool（基因库）for future generations. It can help the seals as a species adapt to changes in their natural environment more easily.The clim
21、ate change problem for seals is directly linked to humans. When we take action to change what we let out into the environment, we will make positive changes for the seals. However, it is going to take a very long time to reverse（彻底改变）the effects of what has already been done.8What does the author re
22、gard climate changes for seals as?AAn unavoidable disaster for existence.BA double-edged sword.CA mirror of evolutionDA requirement for more choice in the gene pool.9What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?AExplode BDisappearCShrink DVary10What will happen to the seals in w
23、armer climates?ATheir number will be on the increaseBThe female seals will be in the lead.CTheir genes will change a great deal.DThe females will keep away from the males.11Which the following can be the best title for the text?AThe Importance of Protecting Seals.BSeals adaptation to Climate Change.
24、CHow Climate Change Affects Seals.DWhy Are Seals Becoming Less and Less. Contrary to popular belief, people who sleep six to seven hours a night live longer, and those who sleep eight hours or more die younger, according to the latest study ever conducted on the subject. The study, which has tracked
25、 the sleeping habits of 1.1 million Americans for six years, weakens the advice of many sleep doctors who have long recommended that people get eight or nine hours of sleep every night.“Theres an old idea that people should sleep eight hours a night, which has no more scientific basis than the gold
26、at the end of the rainbow,” said Daniel Kripke, professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at the University of California at San Diego who led the study published in a recent copy of JAMA Psychiatry.The study was not designed to answer why sleeping longer may be harmful or whether people could extend their lifes
27、pan by sleeping less.But Kripke said it was possible that people who slept longer tended to suffer from short-term absence of sleeping, a condition where weak breathing puts stress on the heart and brain. He also stressed that the need for sleep was similar to that for food, where getting less than
28、people want may be better for them.The study quickly caused warnings and criticism（批评）, with some sleep experts saying that the main problem of Americas sleep habits was deprivation（剥夺）, not sleeping too much.“None of this says sleep kills people,” said Daniel Buysse, a psychiatrist at the universit
29、y of Pittsburgh Medical Center.“You should sleep as much as you need to feel awake, alert and attentive the next day,” Buysse added. “Im much more concerned about people short-changing themselves on sleep than people sleeping too long.”“Sleeplessness produces a variety of health consequences that we
30、re not measured in the study,” critics said.12The traditional idea about sleeping is that _.Apeople who sleep longer die youngerBpeople who sleep less than six or seven hours live longerCpeople need to sleep less to keep healthyDpeople need to sleep eight or nine hours a night13Which of the followin
31、g statements does NOT agree with the study made by the American scientists according to the passage?APeople can extend their lifespan by sleeping less.BSleeping longer may be harmful to peoples health.CPeople should sleep as much as they need to keep awake, alert and attentive.DIt is possible that p
32、eople who sleep longer tend to suffer from short-term absence of sleeping.14“The gold at the end of the rainbow” mentioned in the passage shows that _.Asleeping is quite valuable in our livesBthe traditional idea that people should sleep eight hours a night has no scientific basis at all.Csleeping longer is as valuable as the gold at the end of the rainbow.Dthe i
