并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AThe idea of changing the world seems very crazy, but there are a number of small everyday things we can do to make the world better.Alisia Orosco, 10, wanted to show her love and care to the sick kids at University Children’s Hospital in Texas, where her brother had been a patient. She earned money by doing part-time jobs and used it to buy different toys for the children in hospital. Now she visits three hospitals every year with bags of toys.High school students in a town of Washington made a difference in the lives of some needy children by building a playground at a workers’ camp. They got a lot of help from a building supply store which provided free building materials for the project.Teens in New Jersey decided to offer their help at the local soup kitchen where people with no homes can get free food. But there wasn’t one. They created a one-day soup kitchen and were able to feed 60 needy people and allowed them to take the rest home. Their efforts got more people to understand the great need of the poor in their community. Because of their efforts and success, a permanent soup kitchen was created with the $10,000 National Award they received from Newman’s Own Inc.High school students in Las Vegas helped 30 homeless adults prepare resumes（简历）during a job fair they held at the area’s largest homeless shelter.

One particular book was Froggy Goes to BED by Jonathan London. They would always tell how Froggy would go on these adventures in everyday life and finally his mom would call “Frooooggy” and tell him to do something he didn’t want to do and he would take a long time to do it.After hearing and learning to read these books, my parents kept giving me new books to read at night before bed and I realized reading wasn’t so bad, because it would help me sleep when I had trouble sleeping. Each story had an interesting plot and lesson.When I was older about the age of 11, I got really interested in Harry Potter. Once I started reading that throughout the day, I would think to myself, “If only I were a wizard and enrolled（入学）in a school like Hogwarts! Each day would be amazing and I could study whatever spells（咒语）I wanted.” I was totally absorbed in this series. My parents would read me a few chapters at night and my mom/dad would say “Good night, Even!” but I would always want to hear more.Today looking back on reading as a kid, I thank my parents for supplying me with the books as well as the willingness to read them. If I hadn’t been shown these books, my life might certainly a lot more dull and boring, and I might not be the same person I am right now.24. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.

According to USA Today, even American universities are increasingly using social media as a learning tool. Their goal is to teach students how to use social media professionally.Jade Johnson is taking an upper-level advertising course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. For the class, he has had to organize and promote a contest via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, channels that are commonly used by advertising firms.“A lot of times students prefer not to use certain social media, but are forced because of the class,” says Jade.Some students may be reluctant to create an account, but jade says that it was helpful because social media skills mean better job opportunities in today’s world.More college classes are appearing that are designed specially to teach students about social media, offering them a different look into something they may use on a daily basis.Jenna Kapsis, a senior at William Paterson University, was required to post two Tweets on Twitter and one update on Facebook per week in her Digital and Social Media Communication class. The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.“Some of the topics included social media manners, online marketing and current events,” Kapsis says.As technology continues to develop, colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it into their teaching. Whether it’s to create discussion groups, carry out plans, or communicate with students, professors are ensuring that students can see the potential of mastering social media platforms.28.

The learning of social media skills is a heavy burden for students.DProbably you and your family are worrying about the cost of college education, which is no secret one of the biggest investments（投资）. However, that won’t go to great avail in short time. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day. Here is some advice to help you.Begin in your own backyardMany schools have a list of several scholarships right there. Local awards can often be easier to get as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with community organizations, banks and credit unions, and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.Find your “hook”While you’re searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out, as most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Develop a routineEvery scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit（提交）, when the winner is announced, and how the money is given to you. Typically, scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards, but that also varies on the donor. There isn’t a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything. Visit the website of the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.32.
