Her mother, Jovan, knew howimportant breastfeeding was, especially for a premature babylike Ariyah, so she began pumping milk tofeed her through a tube. But two dayslater, Jovan felt dizzy and feverish — 104 Fahrenheit degrees, in fact. She hada blood disease and was close to full shock.She was separated from othersfor nearly two weeks at the regional Northern Virginia hospital where she’d delivered.During that time, she could still pump breast milk, but Ariyah c ouldn’t consumeit because of the risk of infection . Without it, the newborn was particularly easilyaffected by diseases. There are many cases like this, which creates the need forthe milk donation.Enter donor milk — breastmilk purchased by hospitals for mothers who aren’t able to produce enough milk ontheir own, due to health complications, stresses, or other factors. The milk comesfrom milk banks, organizations that collect and screen breast milk from those womenwilling to donate. Usually processed in intensive-care units, the milk is only availableby prescription.In recent years, both milkbanks and the use of donated human milk have risen swiftly in the United States.In 2011, 22 percent of NICUs used donor breast milk; four years later, that numberdoubled to nearly 40 percent, and went even higher for the most intensive NICUs— as much as 75 percent. There are 23 milk banks in the United States recognizedby the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, or HMBANA, double the numberthat existed five years ago.But as the demand for donormilk rises, banks must find more charitable donors — a task made more complicatedby informal networks of milk sharing that happens online. And many of the most vulnerableinfants are still not being reached.(1)What’s the problem of Ariyah when she was born?A . She had a shock.B . She was too light.C . She had a blood infection.D .

To raise the awareness of the importance of breast milk.(4)Where would you most probably see the text above?A . In a historical fiction.B . In a science magazine.C . In an entertainment newspaper.D .

But a NewJersey based company, called T erraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and hascome up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them intoindustrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normallyconsider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for theenvironment if everyone just stopped smoking but the statistics show thatalthough there has been anincrease in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent and a wholelot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of ourlitter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute thesurrounding environment.” It only takes a single cigarette end to pollutea liter of water, “TerraCycle founder, Tom Szaky said.” Animals canalso mistake littered cigarette ends for food.”So how do you go about turning all thosepoisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breakingthem down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as thetobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters are a little harder. Torecycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into smallpieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquidfor industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recyclingofferings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’tbe recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones.The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much wasteending up in landfill(垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for for the process. Andso far, it’s working. “Wehaven’t found anything that we can’t recycle, “communications director ofTerraCycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety ofpackaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streamsto address. “(1)What does TerraCycle intend to do?A . Search for recyclable materials for use.B . Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C . Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D . Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.(2)The underlined word” trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means.A . rubbishB . poisonC . disasterD . ruin(3)What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about?A . The effective use of cigarette ends.B . The process of recycling cigarette ends.C . The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D . The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.(4)What Albe said in the last paragraph implies that____________.A . there is more and more waste to be recycledB . it is difficult for TerraCycle to recycle everythingC . TerraCycle is trying to meet the challenge of new wasteD . TerraCycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste4. 阅读理解It’s appare ntly become a trend in schools aroundthe world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” accordingto psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have startedin Prince George’s school in South London, isn’t intended to discourage close friendships,but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Let’sface it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’treally ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying todo is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenbergsaid.The ideais to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different membersof his or her peer group. “I see kidscome in all week long who are feeling awful becau se they are either nobody’s bestfriend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates TimberLake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationshipsat a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems injust having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interestschange, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachersat Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandakein summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that,”As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,”so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will bebetter set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friendgroup at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children tobe kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,”Jacobs say s.(1)Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A .
