2．Last summer，Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago.Maria really liked some things about the city，but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day，Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor，Mrs.Garcia，carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil.Maria wondered how Mrs.Garcia was able to garden in the city.
"My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables，and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard，" said Maria.
Mrs.Garcia laughed."I'll show you，" she said.
Maria thought that Mrs.Garcia would take her to the park，but she took her to the roof （屋頂）.When the door opened，Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
"What a wonderful garden！" said Maria.
Mrs.Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space.Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden.The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean，but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.

3．Sports fandom is about more than just entertainment.It can boost your self-esteem （自尊） and make you happier - and you don't have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits.
Being a sports fan is a "very psychologically healthy activity，" says Daniel Wann，professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport jye.ai.Fandom connects us to other like-minded people，which satisfies our human need for belonging，he says.
These relationships are significant：People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem，lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren't interested in sports，Wann says.Fans tend to have more access to social support，help and resources as well.Research suggests that when people have support from their communities，they have better health.
Beyond bonding，fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning，even if they have nothing to do with the players or games，says Stephen Reysen，associate professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom.
"Individuals feel that the fan interest（in this case a sport team）is a part of them，" Reysen says. "So when the team is winning，you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player."
Of course，teams sometimes lose.
So，why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose？People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they're having a losing season，Reysen says.
"Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game，" Wann says.For example，if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong，you'd likely switch to a more reliable one.But because being a fan is so central to people's identities，people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.
Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses.A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing.
"For fans of the losing team，sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem，" Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick，co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.
（1）According to the passage，why do sports fans feel happier？
A．Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.
B．Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the common interests.
C．Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.
D．Because most of them are optimistic.
（2）What is the significance of the relationships between sports fans？
A．Sports fans have support from their favorite teams.
B．Sports fans have higher levels of loneliness.
C．Sports fans are likely more content with their lives.
D．Sports fans tend to compare themselves to those who aren't interested in sports.
（3）According to the passage，if the team has a losing season，the sports fans may.
A．display their identities
B．have a boost of self-esteem
C．not support the team any more
D．have a negative psychology period
（4）According to the passage，what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team？
A．Being part of the team.
B．Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.
C．Sharing the pain with family members.
D．The loyalty to the team.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5

In my profession as an educator and health care provider，I have worked with a large number of children infected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about one of the kids - Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV：his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medical aids to enable him to survive.When he was five，he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump，which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times，he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard，wearing his medicine laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way，when she looked out of the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly find him.
