I thought it was an interesting concept and a fun way for kids to raise money, so I mentioned it to my friend and fellow teacher, Kathlee.We decided to try it with our middle school students, with a competition among homerooms; the money the students raised would be used in some way for children during the holiday season. The winning homeroom would receive a pizza party and movie (paid for by other funds, not the money raised by the students).Kathlee really liked the idea and got her students into the spirit. They were motivated to bring in pennies, as well as nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, and checks. Soon, the whole school got involved, and the students raised more than $1000 during a two-week period; the money, donated to a charitable organization, was used to buy coats and toys for children in our community.Even after my interest faded, Kathlee kept things going. Every November for the next several years, she would type up an announcement, send out envelopes, count and wrap the money or recruitvolunteers to do it. She would arrange the reward for the winning homeroom, get the check written, and help decide which charity would distribute the money.Finally, she would have the principal’s picture taken for the local paper as the check was handed over to the charitable organization. Kathlee clearly cared about the fundraiser and wanted her students to participate in it — and she cared about the people they helped.The funds usually were donated to the local human services department, but occasionally the money went to a local civic organization. Each time, kids in our community benefited from the effort. One year some of our middle school personnel bought and wrapped the gifts, with one person saying it was the most fun she ever had.Eventually, the fundraiser became routine. Some staff members grumbled about it, some ignored it, and some got into the spirit again. Kathlee and her students certainly kept that spirit going, though. Remarkably, each year they raised more money than they had the year before.While I don’t have an exact total, over the years I’m sure the amount collected is more than $20,000. Each year I wonder which of her students has benefited from the Mile of Pennies without being aware of the part Kathlee has played.Kathlee never asked for praise. But even though the Mile of Pennies was a school-wide effort, none of it would have happened without her persistence, follow-through and, most of all, her caring. 24．What does the author do according to the passage?A．V olunteer in organization. B．A social worker.C．A physician. D．A middle school teacher.25．What do we know about the raised money?A．It is used to cover the expenses of a pizza party and movie.B．It is devoted to the school committee.C．It is used to help the homeless.D．It is devoted to the community children.26．Which of the following would best describe Kathlee?A．Honest and beautiful. B．Caring and persistent.C．Learned and humorous. D．Talkative and diligent.27．What would be the best title of the passage?A．A Mile of Pennies B．Wonderful KathleeC．An impossible task D．Love always goes farCCats are domestic(驯养的)animals. They are not only sociable but also fashionable. Domesticated cats would like to form cat communities based on sharing of love and food. And they bond with each other very quickly, which is quite different from humans.Cats don’t always cry because of being hungry for food. Because cats are social animals, they cry because they want to have company. Cats may not cry every time but they may chatter or mumble. It’s really scary to hear cats chattering like old women. They should be listened and one must talk back.Meow does not mean that the cat is crying but it is simply a greeting. A cat’s cry may depend on what it is looking for; it can be championship or other things. Cats may cry because of boredom on rare occasions. Cats also need rest and recreation. Cats get stressed when they are ignored. It can be given a name and called, it can be given a pat on the head, but it should not be kicked when it wraps itself around its master’s leg.A cat follows its master around because of a connecting feeling. Cats look upon its master as a second mother. Even if a cat is old, they never ignore the feeling of being attended and cared for.Cats use a variety of sounds like mimicking to communicate with one another. They are very moody and they can’t be made like oneself all the time. They have different body language signs which you can tell by the way their tail, ears, paws and body are positioned.There are many ways by which a cat can be stopped from crying like setting up playful activities with the cat, not ignoring it, taking it to a walk and feeding it regularly. A cat knows how to take advantage of its master’s feelings because they can read them.28．Cats are probably afraid of_______.A．excitement B．chattering C．being listened to D．loneliness29．In order to comfort your cat when it is stressed, you’d better_______.A．touch it on the head B．make it sleep quicklyC．kick it on the back D．pay no attention to it30．The cat is good at communicating with others by_______.A．making different noises B．moving its tail downC．using different body languages D．lying on the ground on its back31．Which of the following can comfort the crying cat?a. interesting gamesb. listening to musicc. having a walkd. shouting at ite. having a mealf. leaving it aloneA．b, d, f B．a, c, e C．a, b, e D．b, c, fDNate Ledoux flew all the way across the country to surprise his father Officer Duane Ledoux on his final day with the Southbridge Police Department.A video shows Duane overcome with emotion when he makes his final radio call， known as a "final code five" on June 25 and the call is answered by his son."It is my sincere pleasure to announce that on this day， after 32.5 years of service， my father， Southbridge Police Officer Duane Ledoux， is retiring and has given his final code five，" Nate Ledoux says.Nate continues： "It is my honor to acknowledge this code five， to set free a man who has sacrificed so much of his time for all of us， so that he may spend the rest of his life discovering new craft beer， exploring this beautiful country， and most importantly， chasing glory. ""Dad，you are officially code five. "Fighting back tears， Duane radios back： "Love you. "The father shakes his head in disbelief， tapping the radio to his forehead."He did come home. He came home. I called that，" he says laughing.In a second video on Facebook Live， Nate can be seen smiling as he sends his dad off.Southbridge Police Chief Shane Woodson also thanked Ledoux for his more than three decades of service."After more than 31 years of service to the town of Southbridge， Officer Duane Ledoux badge 1041 is retiring and giving his final code five，" Woodson said over the radio."I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.
