BAs an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing about half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and h
10、is older brother not to waste food. While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, leftovers from the dinning hall to nearby homeless shelters. When Robert and
11、fellow club member Lousia entered a college entrepreneurship （创业） contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: They would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed entirely by volunt
12、eers. Their idea won the competition. With the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine（RLC） in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Roberts team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of fo

To date, RLC has distributed more than 250, 000 pounds of food in

Scientists know the f
18、lat, dry lake bed in Californias Death Valley National Park for one strange phenomenon:its slithering stones. Since the late 1940s, theyve been studying how sizable stones across the land-some as big as mini fridges-seemingly move thousands of feet on their own. There were some seemingly reasonable
19、or absurd theories, but no one had ever seen the rocks in action. Death Valley, as its name implies, is unwelcoming. Put aside that its one of the hottest places on Earth, but its also hit by severe winter storms. No one wanted to sit around and watch. But in 2011, my cousin Jim, an engineer, came t
20、o me with an idea. He suggested setting up cameras near the stones and letting the equipment gather data. The National Park Service said we couldnt leave a trace（痕迹）, so we drilled into our own stores, fixed GPS trackers, and placed them, along with cameras, near the rocks. For years, nothing moved.
21、 Then in 2013, we got lucky. Wed driven eight hours to the park to change the batteries in the GPS, just as we did every few months. This time, though, we discovered thered been a huge snowstorm. The lake bed was full of water and it was freezing fast. As we walked around in the moonlight, the whole
22、 lake was hissing（嘶嘶）-the sound of ice freezing. But by the next morning, the sun was shinning, and everything was melting. As the thin sheets of ice started to move quickly across the melting water, to our astonishment, they pushed the rocks with them. It was a historic moment. Previous theories ha
23、d gotten close, but we were the first people to directly observe it. And no wonder: It all happened so fast. If you got too involved in your lunch, itd be over. Fortunately, we were quick to notice, and our GPS trackers recorded a ton of high-quality supporting evidence. 8What does the underlined wo
24、rd “slithering” in paragraph 1 mean?Asailing Bdecreasing Cexpanding Ddisappearing 9Why Racetrack Playa is called Death Valley?ABecause many people died there. BBecause it used to be a battlefield. CBecause it is not open to the public. DBecause it is known for its extreme weather. 10What was the fun
25、ction of melting ice during this strange scene?AIt froze the rocks. BIt kept the rocks in shape. CIt melted the rocks. DIt carried the rocks along. 11What can be used to describe the cousins feeling while witnessing the historic moment?AUnion is strength. BHard work pays off. CSeeing is believing. D
26、Its never too old to learn. DTraditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）, along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of Chinas cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving peoples health and prom
27、oting social progress. There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, W
28、estern medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic（慢性的） diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as
29、 the most effective treatment. Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus （共识） in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attentio
30、n to both. The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions （处方） . The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture （针灸） and naprapathy（推拿）. The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced. As long as TCM keeps its co
