阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Moksh Jawa, 16, a student in the second year at Washington High School in the US, has already become a legend among students. “Why not?” might be his favorite question to ask.

His high school didn’t teach coding. As a sophomore in this school, he developed his own online course and helped his classmates get through it while a student in higher grades enen couldn’t do like him.

Everything he did came from his own interest. “I just fell in love with computer science,” Jawa said. Along the way, he lit a fire of curiosity and passion among classmates to learn coding too.

“All of my friends, especially the girls, were really, really afraid of computer science,” he said. But the subject and exam weren’t things to be feared, he said. “Computer science is all about logic (逻辑), not about how smart you are.”

To make his knowledge available online, Jawa set about creating his own online course, with easy-to-follow lessons.

The course has so far attracted 3,200 students across the US and in 120 countries and regions, including China, Ukraine and Algeria. It shows, Jawa said, the huge need for coding lessons.

When video lecturing, “I deliver it like I’m talking from one high school student to another,” Jawa said. “It’s always great to make it as clear and fun as possible, and to try to keep my voice as energetic as possible.”

He also does that, when teaching members of the computer science club he founded at his high school.

“His tutorials (辅导) were great,” said junior Taj Shaik, the club’s co-president, who took the whole course last year. “I’m definitely one of the early adopters of Moksh.”

“He’s pretty amazing,” said Bob Moran, principal of Washington High School, who saw him lead the club. “He was just a fantastic teacher – clear, organized and entertaining. When a student got the right answer, he would throw them a piece of candy.”

1.What made Moksh Jawa a legend among students? (within 15 words)

2.How do the girls feel the computer science according to Jawa’s opinion? (within 20 words)

3.What does the underlined word “sophomore” probably mean?(within 8 words)

Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose, as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying, and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism, and with the destinations below you can be sure that you’ll not only be protecting the earth, but giving something back to the area too．

Kerala, more commonly known as “God’s Own Country”, is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India． It’s a biologically diverse area, with many unique animal species, and almost 2,500 plant species in its tropical forests—that’s nearly a quarter of all India’s plant groups． In the past, though the forests in this area were much cleared, today they are well protected． There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals．

With tourism developing in the area and money brought in, more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals, ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life．

Arunachal Pradesh, situated on the most northern tip of India, is a resort for the more adventurous． With dry, desert heat in the summer and a snowfall best avoided in the winter, this area is less about greenery, and more about stunning desert landscapes． When visiting this amazing area, you'll be promoting locals earning income from their surroundings, encouraging them to make the most of them and preserve them, as well as gradually increasing their quality of life．

Cao Yuan proved he was special at age 14 when he was enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of　 China’s　 School　 of　 the　 Gifted Young, which is a special　 school　 to　 nurture

teenagers into world-class talents.

But Cao himself didn’t think he was special. He often stressed that he was just an ordinary kid who loved reading about science and doing experiments.

But there is other evidence that Cao is a bit different. On Dec 19，the now 22-year-old doctoral candidate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)，US，was named one of the 10 people who mattered this year by the journal Nature. It was for discovering a“magic angle”in graphene（石墨烯）sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics（超导体物理学）.

Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. It’s the thinnest and strongest material in the world. Cao’s work shows that when two layers of graphene are cooled to 1.7 C above absolute zero（-273 C）and rotated（旋转） to a “magic angle”of 1.1 degrees，the upper layer of graphene exhibits nonconducting behaviors.

However, Cao found that these electrons(电子) could flow in the graphene sandwich freely — as if they were traveling through a superconductor —when small amounts of electrons were added to the structure.

The discovery is exciting. “One can imagine making a superconducting transistor out of graphene, which you can switch on and off ， from superconducting to insulating” ， Pablo Jarillo-Herrero，Cao’s professor at MIT，told Science Daily.

But why was Cao able to make the discovery? Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.

Huang said that he remembered that as a young kid Cao had a strong ability to study on his own, a love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions.

Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that　 Cao’s hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras. “Every time I go in Cao's office, it’s a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” he said.

But even with such convincing proof, Cao still sees himself as an ordinary college student. “After all, we are all humans, with flaws and emotions,” he said.

1.Why was Cao Yuan listed Person of the Year by the journal Nature? (within 20 words)

2.Is graphene a new metal? What is it? (within 15 words)

3.What are the factors that lead to Cao’s achievement? List two of them. (within 15 words)

4.What does the underlined word “inquisitive” mean? (within 2 words)

5.What’s the title of the article? (within 10 words)

In college, Spring Break（春假）is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.

The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy（识字）, homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.

The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate（融合）their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.

In the spring of 2006, about 3,600 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.

Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and the Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”

The Program began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.

Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter,I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher's lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn't hear what was being said around the room.In a vain effort to keep up with them,I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually,I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes.I began to pretend that I knew what was going on.Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed,I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.

Luckily then fate threw me light.

On one sunny afternoon,my teacher,Mrs.Jordan,asked the class a question.I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand.I couldn't believe it-despite my fears,I felt incredibly confident because-for once-I was sure I had the right answer.But,when she called on me,I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love.I didn't want to blow it.I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.

Her explosive response shocked all of us.She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor,pointing directly at me.With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried,“THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!”

For the first time in my young life,I felt like an instant star.My heart burst with pride.My confidence soared.It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome.From that day,my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.

During the years working in Peacekeeping Force(维和部队), I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home.

We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails from the States. Those mails were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’s classroom, and I didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else.

After five or fix months of hearing from the mail—announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support.

I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so, I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a California postmark, which made me think of home. I had missed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with my family. Homesickness seized me.

I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes.

1.Who will usually write “To any service member” mails? (No more than 8 words)

2.Why did the author decide to answer some “To any service member” mails later? (No more than 10 words)

3.What set the author missing his own family? (No more than 5 words)

4.How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph4? (No more than 6 words)

5.At the end of the story, why did the writer sit in silence and cry? Please explain. (No more than 20 words)

When knowing his son got a C grade in the maths exam, the father was proud and cheerful. This is the tear-jerking moment when a proud father is captured on camera celebrating his son's exam result.

After setting up the hidden camera, the boy calls his father to the kitchen, telling him in a whisper 'I've just got something from school; I need you to come and look at it.' His father, who can be heard shouting from elsewhere in the house, asks 'Has something happened?', to which the naughty teenager, Aria, replies 'Yes! It's really important'. As his nervous-looking father approaches, Aria says 'Come and have a chat with me. Just come in, and read that', he says while passing over a piece of paper displaying the result.

After seeing his son has achieved a C grade in the maths exam, the man asks 'Is that veracious?,' before bursting into tears of joy. The pair hug before the disbelieving dad asks again, 'Are you sure? They've not made a mistake? I can't believe it; I just can't believe it!'

A mere year before the video was filmed, the schoolboy received an F in the subject. He explained，'In England you need a C to basically do anything with your life. I've never been amazing academically and have struggled through school. Neither me or my dad or my teachers thought I was going to get my C, for me it was tough. When I told my Dad who means the world to me this was his reaction...Enjoy'.

Still feeling happy from the news, his delighted father tells him 'You're set for life! You're set for life!'. The teen is seen smiling into the camera at the end of the video, seemingly as thrilled with the result as his emotional father.
