For Zack, the shave was more than just a way to fund lifesaving research. It was a way to honor his late brother, Taylor Frink.
Taylor, a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina, was killed in a car accident last September. Before his passing, Taylor was an eager supporter of St. Baldrick’s. He went bald(秃头)for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures.
As a local hero, Taylor was beloved by the community. When he died, more than 1,000 people attended his funeral to pay their respects. Zack looked up to his brother and this was the reason why he decided to become a junior firefighter himself. They did everything together, Zack remembers.
Zack knew his brother had planned to shave again in 2016, so without hesitation he decided to fill his shoes and registered to shave at the local St. Baldrick’s event in Kinston, N.C.
“He was always goodhearted, and I want to make my brother proud,” shares Zack.
As part of Zack’s kindnesses, he raised more than $ 1,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation primarily by selling T-shirts he designed. Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved.
“We are not going to let Taylor's name be forgotten. That is what I love about St Baldrick’s,” says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brother’s name alive.”
The day finally came and Zack took his seat under the clippers(剪具), not only to honor his brother but to help kids with cancer. It was a special moment for all, and by the end of the day the event had raised more than $22,000!

“Belittle” was first used by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.
Many years ago, Buffon, a French naturalist, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”
Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word-belittle. He said. “Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in his English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle-to make somebody or something small, unimportant.”
Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “‘Belittle’ has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.” This expert failed to kill the word. Today, “belittle” is used where the English language is spoken.
28. What was the reason for Jefferson’s creating the new word?
A. He was a naturalist and writer.
B. Lots of critics disliked Buffon’s books.
C. Lots of critics thought Buffon wasn't a real naturalist.
D. He disagreed with Buffon’s views on natural wonders in America.
29. What do we know about Buffon according to the text?
A. Some of his poems were known to Jefferson.
B. Some of his books were welcome by readers.
C. He made some wrong comments on Jefferson.
D. He made great contributions to the creation of “belittle”.
30. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The critical writers.
B. The English words.
C. The word experts.
D. The English-speaking countries.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The comment on the New World
B. The creation of Thomas Jefferson
C. The history of the word “belittle”
D. The argument about the new word
D
Look and listen, and that concert poster just might be singing. Engineers have designed antennas(天线)that can turn everyday objects, from posters to clothing, into radio stations. Anyone walking or driving by can tune in and hear what’s on The devices use radio waves, but they don’t generate their own. They hijack(劫持)the same waves that carry music and news to your smartphone.
Vikram Iyer co-led the project with Anran Wang, a graduate student in computer science and engineering. The two got the idea for their invention by paving attention to what was already around them. “It's the ideal way to minimize the power consumption for any kind of communication,” notes Iyer. Their research had focused on new types of wireless communications that won’t require much energy. They wanted something that would work outdoors in a city. Then they realized the air is already filled with wireless communications in the form of radio stations.
Radio waves carry energy at the sped of light from tall transmission towers to radios in cars, phones and homes. These waves of the antennas take in existing radio waves and change them slightly. Those changes add new sound information. The changed waves are then sent back out into the world where people can listen in. So the device only needs enough power to change the waves, not to generate them.
The scientists tested their device with a poster. It advertised a Seattle concert by Simply Three. People standing almost 4 meters away from the poster could use FM receivers on smartphones to listen to all songs of the band's music. Those in cars as far as 18 meters away could use car radios to pick up some parts of the songs.
The technology could even extend to clothes. Iyer, Wang and their team turned the shirt into an antenna. It let the shirt talk to the wearer’s smartphone. If a
sensor in the shirt tracked a person’s heart rate during exercise, for instance, the antenna could transmit those data to the wearer’s phone.
32. The underlined word “generate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. promote B. repair C. produce D. recycle
33. Which of the following is one advantage of the new antennas?
A. They are small-sized.
B. They save energy.
C. They can be used in villages.
D. They can improve radio signals.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The working principle of the antennas.
B. The way the antennas take in radio waves.
C. The benefit people can get from the antennas.
D. The situation where the antennas can be used.
35. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The antennas can be available at present.
B. Vikram Iyer created the antennas with much money.
C. The antennas cannot be used in the students’ dormitory and classroom.
D. The closer people stay to the antennas, the stronger signals they pick up.

Below is some advice on how to prevent cancer:
Eat blueberries
Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, the blueberry contains pterostilbene, which has important colon(结肠)cancer-fighting materials. 36 . Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C, So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.
Relax
37 ? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. 38 !
Break a sweat
39 . In a study of 29, 110 men published in The International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.
40
There’s no question that secondhand smoke kills. A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen(致癌物)in their body than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. What’s worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every working hour. Many states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke.
A. Breathe clean air
B. But it has more good
C. Get away from disease
D. Do you feel stressed or worried
E. Do you have a health check regularly
F. Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits
G. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and have a rest

One possible version:
Dear Jackson,
I’ve heard that you are hesitant about whether to go abroad for further study. Indeed, people who study abroad open themselves up to experiences that those who stay at home will never have. So I hope you can choose to study abroad. Here are the reasons.
The most obvious advantage of overseas university study is the use of a different language. There is no better opportunity to improve a second language in a foreign country. Secondly, you can make friends from all over the world. Finally, living and studying abroad offers a person a new and different viewpoint of the world and his own country.
I hope my suggestions can be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
