2.A 9-year-old girl from Ohio is making a big difference to the lives of children throughout the United States who are hospitalized.I recently met with Sarah Tryon at her home in Montville Township to learn more about her nonprofit organization,Help Me Color A Rainbow.
In 2016,Sarah was admitted to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland because of an illness.She was bored during her stay and wanted to color a picture. "I requested crayons but there were none available," said Jackie Tryon,Sarah's mother.She was told that there were not enough crayons for all the children in the hospital.Because of germs,used crayons were not passed from one patient to another. "I wanted to color a rainbow,but I couldn't," Sarah explained. "I didn't want other kids like me to have that same experience."
Sarah told her parents that when she got better,she was going to come back to the hospital and bring a bunch of crayons for the kids.Her parents thought that they would buy a few crayons and drop them off,but Sarah had a bigger vision. "We got the community involved by setting up crayon drop-off locations at fire departments,schools,and shops," Sarah said.Word spread on Facebook,and then a Cleveland news channel picked up the story.Sarah soon earned the nickname "The Crayon Girl".
Sarah's parents helped turn her vision into a nonprofit organization,Help Me Color A Rainbow.An annual charity golf tournament is now held to raise money for additional crayons.Up to now, "The Crayon Girl" has donated more than 49,000 boxes of crayons to children's hospitals.

3.Spending time in nature has been known to positively impact mental health for some time now,but even greenery planted along a sidewalk line can be beneficial.
Mental health experts have long believed the health benefits of spending time in nature and there're many related studies.A team of German researchers studied the long-term connection between living in an urban area where there are fewer green spaces and levels of depression.To understand the impact of being near a green space-specifically,trees planted along neighborhood sidewalks-they examined data from 10,000 residents of Leipzig,the most populated city in Saxony,Germany.Researchers assessed the number and type of street trees,how close they were planted to homes,and the number of drugs residents take to treat depression.
In addition to their closeness to green spaces,researchers also took into account the age,employment status,gender,and body weight of each of the participants.They found that trees located within 100 meters of the home were associated with a lower risk of being given antidepressants(抗抑郁藥),particularly in poor or unimportant neighborhoods.As these populations are usually at a greater risk of being given antidepressants in Germany,the findings prove just how beneficial green spaces in urban areas can be for improving mental health.
"Our findings suggest that street trees-a publicly accessible form of urban green spaces taking up a small area-can help close the gap in health inequalities between economically different social groups," says Dr.Melissa Marselle,lead author of the study. "This is good news because street trees are relatively easy to achieve and their number can be increased without much planning effort."
In addition to the mental health benefits for humans,planting more trees is also good for the environment. "Adding street trees in residential urban areas is a nature-based solution that may not only promote mental health,but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and mitigating climate change,says senior author Professor Aletta Bonn.
(1)How did the German team obtain their findings?
A.By conducting experiments.
B.By carrying out an analysis.
C.By referring to previous studies.
D.By interviewing 10,000 residents.
(2)What did the researchers find?
A.Spending time in nature has health benefits.
B.Green spaces have different effects on people.
C.People in poor areas suffer depression more easily.
D.Trees close to homes may reduce the risk of depression.
(3)What does the underlined word "mitigating" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Wiping.
B.Easing.
C.Understanding.
D.Monitoring.
(4)Why does the author write this text?
A.To give tips on planting trees.
B.To report a discovery in medicine.
C.To present the findings of a study.
D.To share a way to fight depression.組卷:1引用:3難度:0.5

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am a middle school student.I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and disappointments about the unpleasant experience.

I would appreciate if you could take my opinion into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
