It’s never too early to start doing good deeds for others. Adults should always be role models for children and the youth, but sometimes those roles are easily exchanged. A young boy did just that—showing that at an early age one can do more to uplift others.

Pavel, 9-year-old Russian boy, made up his mind to use his talent to reach out to those in need. The young artist from the small city of Arzamas decided to use his love for painting into helping animals, by exchanging his artwork for animal food and supplies, which are then donated to a local shelter.

Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets. He also began to grow concerned over the situation of stray animals wandering in the city. He felt it was his duty to help, which resulted in a project called “Kind Paintbrush”. It was set up by Pavel and his mother. The project started as a way to honor the memory of their pet, but has since evolved into a distinctive way of helping animals. Only one animal shelter, housing over 100 dogs, exists in the local area, and Pavel is its youngest volunteer. To support the shelter, Pavel draws images of real pets and in return, he is paid with animal food and other needs of the shelter.

This isn’t even the first time that mother and son have volunteered their time to a worthy endeavor. They work on their own time and effort, with no support from other organizations. They are simply motivated by their empathy, huge heart, and willingness to use their skills for helping animals.

This stimulating project has already grown beyond Arzamas city. Pavel has become quite　 a sensation, particularly among animal lovers in Russia who have been in touch to　 have portraits of their pets made. Requests for paintings of their pets have also come from abroad, such as Spain and Germany.

Pavel’s dreams for the future are still tied to helping animals. He plans to become as much as he can with his art and love for animals.

Whether you prefer burning the midnight oil or going to bed early so you can get up at the break of dawn depends on your genes , according to experts.

I jump out of bed each morning, eager to start an active day. But I can hear my neighbour’s　　　　　 alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work on time.

A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening. He’s happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight, while I go to bed early and try to sleep.

Well, it might not be his fault after all. I’m called ‘a lark (百灵鸟)’ and my neighbour ‘an owl (猫头鹰)’.

We all have inside ‘clocks’ in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light. These inside clocks run to a different schedule in ‘larks’ and ‘owls’. If you have a fast clock, you like to do things early, and if you have a slow clock, you like to do things late.

Because we live in a 24/7 world, scientists believe it’s important to understand a person’s ‘chronotype’ – the time of the day when they function the best. It could help us lead a healthier life.

A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.

And he has advice for those who can’t choose their working hours: “If that’s not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure”, says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike. The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light, like computer screens and other electronic devices.”

1.How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By presenting and solving problems.

B. By explaining the cause-effect relationship.

C. By giving examples and drawing a conclusion.

D. By analyzing differences and providing advice.

2.We can learn from the passage that the author’s neighbour ______.

A. almost always gets to work on time

B. has to work deep into the night every day

C. is passive during the day but energetic at night

D. is easily woken up by his alarm clock in the morning

3.The underlined part “24/7” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “______”.

A. stressful　 B. digital
