At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru，came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.
Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.
“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,n Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.
The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20,2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children’s Climate Prize (CCP). “Jose’s eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact，both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing”，a judge said.
Hopefully, Jose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, “Together we can change the world. we just need an opportunity.”
1.For what purpose was the eco-bank created?
A. To educate children how to spend their allowances.
B. To help children break away from their parents.
C. To raise children’s awareness of money and environment
D. To encourage children to buy whatever they want.
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The history of the eco-bank
B. The requirements of membership,
C. The wisest way to deal with waste
D. The process of how the eco-bank works.
3.What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank?
A. Lack of enough support B. Lack of experience
C. Lack of investment D. Lack of workers
4.What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?
A. The boy’s efforts were made in vain.
B. The eco-bank was highly appreciated.
C. The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.
D. The boy’s success had no practical values.

The murmur of the audience had just faded into expectant silence. This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKee’s life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart.
Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasion－everyone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldn’t be in that audience that night－her mum and dad.
Patricia’s mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any different for her?
Still, Patricia couldn’t help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldn’t really understand the deep pain in her mother’s response: “I’ll try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.”
Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face!
This powerful image remains one of Patricia’s most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy（遗产）they’ve left us: when someone really needs you, be there for them.
1.Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness？
A. She had no chance to watch the concert.
B. She performed unsuccessfully at the concert.
C. Her parents had gone to a remote country town.
D. Her parents were unlikely to attend the concert.
2.What do we know about Patricia’s parents？
A. They loved Patricia more than her sister.
B. They had little interest in social activities.
C. They had to mind the store day and night.
D. They paid no attention to Patricia’s school life.
3.According to Paragraph 4, while giving the response, Patricia’s mother probably felt_________.
A. calm B. sorry C. angry D. nervous
4.What does the underlined phrase “walking on air” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Surprised. B. Troubled.
C. Very happy. D. Very comfortable.
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A smiling face in the crowd.

Small talk is the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers. 1. Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability.
1. 2.
If you have seen a really good movie or have read a really good book, you can talk about that.
When you are sharing the same experience with someone, it’s easy to start a conversation. You simply notice and comment on what’s going on around you. For example, if you are at a party and a song comes on that you like or that reminds you of something, you can talk about that.
2. Ask open-ended questions
These types of questions require more thought and more than a simple one-word answer. 3., the conversation will go on longer.
3. Become a student
Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. 4.. It’s a win-win situation.
Like anything, getting good at making small talk takes practice. 5., you might become happier. If you are making small talk using English, you will most definitely improve your speaking and listening skills.
A. Have some conversation starters ready
B. If you make small talk in your native language
C. However, some people are not good at small talk
D. If you ask questions that need more details to answer
E. You can talk about something that you recently learned
F. Many people find these small conversations about random topics easy
G. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.
Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you. I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.
