• 5．Getting through four years of college is a challenge for anyone，but for kids like Caleb Simmons，it seemed nearly impossible.
     Caleb didn't even get into the University of Texas at Dallas the first time he applied.Once he did get in，though，his entire life seemed to collapse around him just as he was trying to find his footing at school.When his family lost their house during his freshman year，Caleb found himself homeless.
     "At some point，I couldn't go to class.I really was about to just drop out，"he said."We lost our house.I had nowhere to stay.I had no car at the time."
     Finally，out of sheer desperation，Caleb turned to the school administration for help.That's when he met Joann Chapin，a student solutions specialist on campus who made it her mission to help the young man find his footing.And on weekends and school breaks，Caleb spent his time with Joann and her children，growing so close that they now consider one another family.
     Four years after hitting rock bottom，Caleb not only graduated，but he was asked to deliver a speech to his classmates at graduation!He used the opportunity to thank his new "mom"，Joann，who sat front and center in his family section that day.
     During Caleb's graduation speech，he called upon those dark days early on to convey a simple message to his peers：No matter how much poverty，or unfortunate circumstances a person can be put in，they can still make a better life for themselves.Opportunities can hap-pen if you go for them.
     His next goal is to work for the college that helped him through his toughest times so that he can encourage teens living in poverty to reach their goals，as he did.

• 6．Surgeon General Dr.Vivek Murthy recently declared children's mental health is a national crisis.
     In December 2021，Dr.Murthy issued a report to highlight the additional pressures the economic depression had put on the country's youth，and the urgent need to address this.The impact of this crisis is far-reaching，and new research shows that it's affecting parents' well-being，plus their ability to succeed at work and provide for their families.
     "On Our Sleeves，a national movement that aims to break shame around children's mental health，surveyed more than 3，000 working parents across the US and found that 8 in 10 parents have been very concerned about their child's mental health and development or behavior in the past two years.Children's mental health concerns have been hiding in plain sight for many years，surrounded by confusion and shame，"says Marti Bledsoe Post，the director of On Our Sleeves.
     The survey found that 53%of working parents have missed work at least once per month to deal with their children's mental health.And 71%of parents said issues with their child's mental or emotional well-being made the stresses of work much more difficult to cope with.
     "Employers need to know that many of their employees are struggling and it is impinging their work as a result，"says Marti."Our mission with On Our Sleeves is to provide every family in America access to free，evidence-based educational resources.We see this study as incredibly important in starting the conversation and providing solutions for working families."
     As Marti points out，for some parents，taking a child to weekly therapy（心理治療）appointments and attending meetings at school consume a lot of time.These parents should be helped.
  
  （1）What do parents care about most at present？

  
  A．Economic effect.

  （3）What does the underlined word"impinging"in paragraph 5 mean？

  （4）What can we learn from the text？

語句排序。將下列幾個部分（A、B、C、D和E）按題號排序，構(gòu)成一個符合邏輯的完整語篇。

• 7．A.Brusatte said that becoming smaller was"a common way that mammals deal with climate change".He added，"That's not to say every species of mammal would get smaller，but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly.Which does raise the question：If temperatures do rise really quickly，might humans become shorter，might humans get smaller？And I think that's certainly reasonable."
  B.Lister doubts that humans will be shorter as the climate heats."We are not really controlled by natural selection，"he said."If that was going to happen，you'd need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming.That is not happening in today's world.We wear clothes，we have got heating，we have got air conditioning if it is too hot."
  C."The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size，as mammals（哺乳動物）with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures，"a leading fossil expert has said.Prof Steve Brusatte，a professor at the University of Edinburgh also notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas.
  D.Another study has showed that researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size change，while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.
  E.However，not all experts agree that rising temperatures cause mammals to shrink.Prof Adrian Lister，of the Natural History Museum in London，said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak，while the strong relationship between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.
