1．Mini Cooper introduced its fastest street legal model yet at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week．
Mini has already decided that the car number 0001 will go to a customer in the United States，but hasn't decided yet how to choose who will get it．It will not be decided through an auction （拍賣）．said Mike Peyton，Mini's vice president for the Americas．
On this Mini John Cooper Works GP，the fender flares （輪眉） are made from carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic．The material is recycled waste left over from the production of BMW i3 and i8．The rear wing is actually two wings combined and provides downforce at the back of the car to keep it pressed to the ground at high speeds．The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is the most powerful that has ever been used in a Mini．It has 75 horsepower more than the next most-powerful Mini John Cooper Works model．
The John Cooper Works GP has a special eight-speed automatic transmission，according to the company．It also has paddle shifters （換擋器） on the steering wheel so the driver can shift modes by hand．To save weight，the car only has front seats which are special light weight sports seats．
There's no choice of paint color on this Mini Cooper．The cars will be painted in Racing Gray，with the mirrors finished in Melting Silver．

2．When Mike Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow（骨髓） registry nearly three years ago，he never ready gave it a second thought．After all，he did it only because his college，football coach had encouraged him and his teammates to register．But about six months after the sign-up，he did get a call．The now 21-year-old linebacker's bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia．Mushaw had to decide whether to go all in．It would mean spending a night in the hospital and undergoing general anesthesia，which carries some risk．And he'd likely never know whether his donation worked． "Once they took 17 vials（試管） of blood，I was like，'All right this is real．This is going to happen．'"
His donation went to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare immune-deficiency disease that was diagnosed when she was only three month old．Eleanor had rarely left her house other than to travel to the hospital or the doctor． "Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant，" her mother，Jessica，told NBC．
Still，there was no guarantee of success．Eleanor's family had hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant，enough to live a more normal，life．Instead，after a few weeks，the doctors at Children's National Hospital in Washington，D．C．，came back with shocking news：Eleanor's condition hadn't just improved-Mushaw's bone marrow had cured her．
Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation．In most cases，the donor and recipient remain anonymous to each other．But about six months after the procedure，Eleanor's parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for saving her life．
"When they told me it was a little girl，I got a little choked up，" Mushaw says．But their surprising connection was only beginning．Mushaw asked whether he and Eleanor could FaceTime regularly so he could check on her progress． "It was amazing to watch her and be a part of her life，" he says．Eleanor kept tabs on him，too，by watching his football games on TV．Mushaw often invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at his games where tiny shouts of "Mike!Mike!" could be heard from the stands as the little girl cheered on her very own hero．
"I had waited by that point well over a year to finally give a hug to this guy who saved my daughter's life，" Jessica says． "We felt like we were on cloud nine all weekend getting to spend time with him and have him be with Eleanor．" In January，Mushaw reunited with Eleanor，this time in Virginia，to celebrate her birthday．It will likely be the first of many celebrations together． "As a parent，it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do，" Jessica says．We were two complete strangers，and now we've become such a big part of each other's lives．"

3．Over the last 50 years，illegal trade in wildlife has become one of the greatest threats to our natural world．Traffickers（販子） are exploiting communities in developing areas，driving them to illegally hunt down animals for their body parts．These criminal networks only pay a tiny portion of the final price they get for the animals they receive．Beautiful animals are shipped off to faraway markets，whole or apart．
Angry？We've barely started yet．The animal parts are being shipped along with weapons，drugs，even people"．These heartless profiteers don't care about the destruction they cause．Live animals are hidden during transport with no thought for their survival．Many of them don't make it．Perhaps it's a mercy when traffickers choose to kill and freeze the animals，before hiding them in the containers the size of a small bus．It's not one or two animals here and there-it's entire species that we are seeing driven towards extinction，lost forever from our global heritage．And for one reason alone：to put more money in the pockets of these criminals-whatever the cost．
Now，humans reap as they have sown．COVID-19 has affected us all．It's breaking our economies．It has sealed us in our homes and is attacking the weakest among us．In a short period？almost every person on the planet has been affected and we still don't know the final toll．The source could well be these criminal profiteers．We don't know for certain how the pandemic started．Some scientists suggest that the disease might have been transferred to a person from a pangolin （穿山甲） being traded illegally in one of these markets-these are most trafficked mammals in the world，with over a million consumed by the trade since 2000．
Yet we would never have imagined that these markets for body parts of wild animals would affect us in this way．It's time to say "enough"．Dr，Rebecca Drury，Head of Wildlife Trade at Fauna & Flora International （FFI） says，We would like to see stronger action to stop illegal hunting，trafficking and consumption of illegally- sourced wildlife．It is no longer an option to ignore the dangers of illegal and unregulated wildlife trade and consumption，to human health and to healthy，functioning ecosystems needed for life on earth to thrive．We must ensure that the lessons from COVID-19 pandemic are applied to prevent repeats of this global crisis．
The governments of the world are doing what they can．But while bans are put in place，the greedy individuals driving the trafficking will try to use their illegal networks to keep selling，lining their pockets until they are stopped．It's precisely because this is a trade that happens in the shadows，so we must stop it at source．That's why FFI is raising funds-to help put a stop to this mean trade．To do so they are asking readers of The-Week to make an urgent contribution today．
（1）What can we know from Paragraph 2？
A．Most of the live animals can't survive the long trip．
B．Most of the live animals were killed and frozen during the trip．
C．Generally，the animal parts won't shipped along with drugs or people．
D．Traffickers will give it a second thought when considering the cost of the trafficking．
（2）What does the author want to convey mainly in Paragraph 3？
A．Humans are paying a price for the illegal animal trafficking．
B．COVID-19 has brought disasters to humans．
C．COVID-19 originates from the pangolin．
D．Scientists have known the transferring path of COVID-19．
（3）Which of the following statement is TRUE？
A．Dr Rebecca Drury suggests stopping the trade of wildlife．
B．The most trafficked mammals in the world are the pangolin．
C．FFI is trying to find the source of the illegal wildlife trade．
D．Humans can prevent global crisis if they stop the illegal wildlife trade．
（4）What is the purpose of the article？
A．To show us millions of endangered animals are being cruelly killed．
B．To confirm illegal wildlife trade threatens some of our beloved animals．
C．To discuss how to stop the trafficking．
D．To call on immediate action to end the illegal wildlife trade．組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5

In our daily life， we unavoidably come across various challenge now and then．
For me， the biggest challenge happens when I entered senior high school． I was shocking to find the physics teacher was teaching was totally beyond me． Thinking I just lacked a gift for physics， I stopped to making an effort and my grades were poor． Unfortunately， my teacher didn't give up on me． Instead， he helped me analyse a problem and I realized I needed to rise to the challenge bravely． Now， I'm one of the top students in physics．
From my experience， I have learned that it is not our inborn gifts and our efforts that helps us achieve success． When we come across challenges， you should fight bravely instead of giving up．組卷：12引用：2難度：0.5
