Meet the 9-year-old girl，Hana Fatima，whose simple act of kindness has since snowballed into a volunteer project to help seniors and people with disabilities.
It's a lesson born out of an impulse she had while shopping with her father at a Mississauga，Ont.，supermarket in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
About two years ago — two days before Ontario's first lockdown，when toilet paper and uncertainty about life in a global pandemic were on top of mind for so many — Fatima and her father，Tariq Syed，were waiting in the check-out line.Fatima noticed an elderly woman struggling with her shopping. "It made me think of my grandparents，" Fatima recalled.So，she pointed the woman out to her father and the two offered to help carry her shopping to her car.It's too common to mention，but the woman's reaction stayed with Fatima.
"She got really happy，" Fatima told CBC.When they got home，F(xiàn)atima and her father decided they wanted to help more seniors.Together，they started The Good Neighbor Project，a volunteer delivery network that connects available，able-bodied individuals with people in need.
So far，the group says it has completed more than 9，000 deliveries.More than 6，000 volunteers have offered up over 22，700 hours and helped over 8，600 isolated seniors，persons with disabilities，and other vulnerable persons.
Fatima wants to share that lesson with as many people as she can. "All of us，at some time or other，need help.Whether we're giving or receiving help，each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world.That's one of the things that connect us as neighbors. "When I go，somebody has to know it and carry it down to the next generations.I want to be somebody who teaches others about the good，" she told CBC News. "You see an opportunity？Somebody needs help？Just go and do it."

2．When you encounter animals，do you wonder what they're thinking？Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions（情感）in us，but what are they thinking？Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling-or are they feeling nothing at all？
Humans have a complex range of feelings，but it's hard to tell what's going on inside the heads of animals.Some of us own dogs because they are good companions，are loyal and seem to connect with us.We might even think they love us.Professor Kim Bard，an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth，told the BBC："We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner-but not a stranger -pretends to cry."The empathetic ability of cats，however，is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated（非馴養(yǎng)的）animals might have feelings too.Giraffes and whales，for example，are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies.It's believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well.Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings.Kim says "they can be optimistic，pessimistic，or frightened，and respond to pain just like any mammal would."
Dr Barbara J King，Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary，told the BBC："If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel，this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses（屠宰場）around the world，and rethink those systems.It does seem all creatures feel emotion，but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us？"

（3）What's the importance of the research，according to Barbara？
A．It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B．It may change the food chain of the whole world.
C．It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
D．It may lead people to reconsider animals' well-being.

3．Jamil Jan Kochai，the author of 99 Nights in Logar，searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung—the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier.On Saturday night，the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp（難民營）for Afghans in Peshawar，Pakistan，and his family moved to California when he was just a year old.At home，they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi，so by the time he reached first grade，he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English.Then came Mrs.Lung，who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work，meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school.At the end of the school year，Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai's father got a job in another city and the boy moved on，with a new love of reading and writing.When he grew older，Kochai's parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her.But despite his efforts，he failed to track her down.
"I didn't know her first name.She was always just Mrs.Lung to me，so when I called places to ask about her，they couldn't find any records of her，"Kochai said.
Then，while promoting his first novel，he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life.Lung's doctor happened to read it，and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung's husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai's reading event on Saturday in Davis，California and suggested he drive his wife there.
"I had no idea they were going to be there，"Kochai said."It was just like a sweet dream.Mrs.Lung was sitting in the front row.She was just the same Mrs.Lung.Just as sweet，kind and warm as ever."
Kochai and Lung hugged，and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
（1）How did Mrs.Lung help Kochai？
A．By dropping by his house regularly.
B．By asking him to read more in class.
C．By spending extra time tutoring him.
D．By saving him out of a refugee camp.
（2）Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs.Lung？
A．There were few records about her.
B．His parents provided little support.
C．He was too young to remember her.
D．He had limited information about her.
（3）How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs.Lung at his reading event？
A．Surprised and delighted.
B．Shocked and angry.
C．Ashamed and regretful.
D．Proud and grateful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event.
B．A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher.
C．A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student's Whole Life.
D．A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.2
