One sunny Monday, I decided to go for a walk. There is a beautiful dirt track near my house that runs along a river for about 2km. On my finger was a very special ring: I’d only just picked it up from the jeweller’s the day before because I’d had it designed to hold a diamond given to me by my grandmother for my 21st birthday.

I looked down at my ring as I began my walk, feeling as sunny as the day. Imagine my sadness when I looked again at the end of the track and saw a hole in the setting where the diamond should have been. It was missing.

Panicked, I started back along the path, looking frantically for the stone. In my heart, I knew how hopeless my search was. The track was long, stony and covered with leaves and debris (碎片).

As I scanned the ground, crying and extremely worried, I met an elder gentleman out for a walk. “What’s the matter, love?” he asked kindly. “Lost something?” I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole in my ring. He whistled.

“That’s gonna be hard to find. Tell you what, love, I walk along this track every day, I’ll keep my eyes open for it.” I thanked him, expecting nothing, but told him my husband often walks our dogs along the path if he ever found something.

A few days later, my husband met the gentleman on the path. “Guess what?” he said. “I found your diamond!”

Unbelievably, he’d found the tiny stone and was delighted to hand the diamond back to my husband, saying casually, “Lucky I found it—I only have 50 percent sight in one eye.”

When my husband offered him money for his trouble, he refused it. He could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, as it’s worth several thousand dollars, but, thanks to this man, I’ll spend the rest of my days trying to do something equally significant for another person. And if I’m ever worried about the state of the human race, all I have to do is look at my ring and remind myself that there are still kind and generous souls out there. 25. Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Rich and generous.

B. Careful and brave.

C. Kind and honest. D. Patient and modest.

26. What does the underlined word “frantically” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Casually. B. Anxiously. C. Excitedly. D. Deliberately. 27. What can we learn about the diamond? A. The writer bought it in the jeweller’s. B. It had a hole in the setting.

C. It was a gift from the writer’s grandma. D. The owner’s husband paid to regain it.

28. What section of a magazine does this text probably e from? A. Life Well Lived. B. The Holiday Season. C. Important Facts. D. The Power of Good.

Sometimes even the best technology isn’t as powerful as a lot of people working together. At NASA (美国宇航局), for example, satellites help scientists study clouds. Cameras and other tools on those satellites do a great job of seeing clouds all over the planet.

“You’re not able to get a sense for what’s happening with the clouds in one area throughout the day,” says Taylor at NASA. “But citizen scientists can fill those gaps.” NASA collects data from citizen scientists who observe clouds at lots of different times. They provide reports with weather data. The large numbers of observations are helpful. NASA scientists use them to

make sure they match satellite data. That way they know whether satellites are working correctly.

“It’s crowd-sourcing at its finest,” Taylor says. “When you bine everyone’s observations over time, all those estimates average out to create more and more accurate information.”

Also, some types of satellites “see” differently than we do. For example, some satellites looking down at Earth can’t tell the difference between snow and a cloud. “Both are white and really cold,” Taylor explains. That can make it hard for the satellite sensors to tell them apart. But “on the ground, it would never be a question.” And this is where a human’s eyes can be better than a satellite’s.

Kids can sometimes offer a new way of looking at an issue, bringing a new idea, and it partners students with scientists. That can be helpful when scientists get stuck and can’t think of new ways to approach a problem. At the beginning of a project, kids often ask about the answer to a research question. Students are usually surprised and excited to find out that no one actually knows the answer, and that it’s their job to help make discoveries. 29. How can NASA get a more accurate result in studying clouds? A. By satellites’ watching in space. B. With the help of citizen scientists. C. By photos taken by camera on the earth. D. With various tools on the satellites. 30. What do we know about the satellite sensors? A. They aren’t fit for cold weather. B. They see things on earth clearly. C. They work abnormally when cloudy. D. They make mistakes sometimes.

31. What may matter when kids do a research project? A. New ways and ideas.

B. The scientists’ instructions. C. The perfect research conditions. D. The answer to the research question.
