Born in Jersey in 1931 to Irish American parents， Chuck Feeney shoveled snow and sold Christmas cards door to door as a child to make pocket money. After serving as a radio operator for U.S. Air Force intelligence in Japan， the GI Bill（美国退伍军人安置法案）made it possible for him to attend Cornell University. In 1960， with Robert Miller， he co-founded Duty Free Shoppers（DFS）， the company that made both men billionaires. While Feeney enjoyed the thrill of successful business， he felt little desire for the wealth that accompanied his extraordinary success.

Inspired by Andrew Carnegies essay，， which argued that the best use of ones wealth was to help others， Chuck founded The Atlantic Foundation in 1982，the first of（大西洋慈善基金會）. There was one rule， however：Chuck wanted Atlantics giving to be anonymous（匿名的）. The desire for anonymity was a combination of Chucks humility and a desire to avoid public attention. He put nearly his entire fortune into the Foundation， while keeping his involvement a total secret from the outside world. It was only due to a business disagreement that his philan-thropic secret was revealed.

Since his secret was finally out， he decided to actively promote the Giving While Living philosophy.“Any money that people give to good causes—as long as its well-managed—is worthwhile，”he said.“I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living—to personally devote oneself to meaningful efforts to improve the human condition.”

Looking back over his catalogue of generosity， it is easy to see he focuses on education. Cornell university， which Feeney credits with setting him up for success， received both the first grant（補助金）and the final one（along with many in between）. Higher education is a reoccurring theme， with Atlantic Philanthropies helping with schools and training in Ireland as well as Vietnam， Cuba， and South Africa， all of which he saw struggling without sufficient help.

“Give big now. Its a lot more fun to give while youre alive， than to give while youre dead，”said Chuck.

24.What can we learn about Chuck Feeney from paragraph 1？

A. He founded DFS via the GI Bill.

B. He was satisfied with his great wealth.

C. He made a living by selling Christmas cards.

D. He was a radio operator before attending university.

25. Which of the following best describes Chuck Feeney？

B. Cautious.

C. Humorous.

D. Demanding.

26.What is paragraph 4 mainly about？

A. The resaon for Ghucks devotion.

B. The significance of higher education.

C. Chucks gratitude to Cornell university.

D. Chucks great contribution to education.

27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

C. Chuck Feeney：Giving While Living

Bananas are one of the most important crops on Earth. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization（FAO）， 400 million people rely on bananas as a source of food or income. But the bananas we know and love may be at risk of extinction.

Around the world， banana plants are dying at an alarming rate. They are being attacked by a form of Panama disease called Tropical Race 4（TR4）.

Farmers， experts， and industry leaders have feared the day that TR4 would hit Latin America and the Caribbean. About 85% of bananas exported worldwide are grown there. In the autumn of 2019， those fears came true. Colombia declared a national emergency as cases of TR4 were confirmed at six banana farms in the country.“In Colombia， TR4 is incredibly difficult to control，”scientist James Dale said.“Everybody is absolutely petrified of whats going to happen.

TR4 is a fungus（真菌）that lives in soil. It infects banana plants through the roots and moves into the stems. There， it prevents water and nutrients from reaching the plants leaves. The plant turns yellow， then it dries up and dies.

It can take six months to a year for farmers to spot TR4 in a field of banana plants. By then， its hard to treat the disease. Farmers can only try to keep it from spreading. But TR4 spreads easily， from plant to plant and from farm to farm.“With increased human transportation， travel， and trade， no country is immune to（對……免疫）the disease，”Fazil Dusunceli of the FAO says.

Part of the problem is that 99% of bananas exported are of the same variety：Cavendish. This is helpful for the banana industry. Large companies can grow more bananas when they grow only one kind， which means they can make more money. But a lack of diversity is not good for nature. All Cavendish bananas are genetically the same. Because of this， when a disease such as TR4 strikes， they are all equally vulnerable（易受攻击的）.

“Eating Cavendish bananas is making the situation worse，”says Altus Viljoen， a professor who studies plant diseases. Viljoen and other experts say we should diversify the types of bananas we are growing and eating.

28.Which of the following best explains“petrified”underlined in paragraph 3？

A. Skeptical.

B. Confident.

C. Frightened.

D. Appreciative.

29. What do we know about TR4？

A. It is hard to identify early.

B. It can be kept from spreading easily.

C. It gets enough attention from farmers.

D. It attacks banana plants via their leaves.

30. What is the authors purpose in writing the text？

A. To tell us about bananas at risk.

B. To introduce a disease called TR4.

C. To compare different types of bananas.

D. To look to the future of the banana industry.

31.What does Viljoen suggest to save bananas？

A. Stopping exporting bananas.

B. Increasing the variety of bananas.

C. Changing the way of growing bananas.

D. Improving the genes of Cavendish bananas.

A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food， navigate a restaurant， miaow at diners—and even react to having its ears stroked.

Making its debut at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas， the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters. It is the brainchild of the Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence firm PuduTech.

It features four shelves in the center of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human colleagues， the cat-themed robotic waiter miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by stroking its ears， it will initially respond with a look of pleasure on its on-board screen， which displays animations of a cats face.“The owners hand is so warm，”BellaBot has been programmed to respond.

However—much like a real cat—the robots reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long.“It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job，”the designers introduced.

The BellaBot waiter robot is a more personality-rich update to PuduTechs previous model， which featured a more utilitarian（实用主义的）design and user interface. Both BellaBot and its predecessor were designed with a particular mind to Chinese restaurateurs which are often short of waiting staff.

In a real-world food-service setting， however， BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at peak times. Nevertheless， restaurants are expected to increase their trust on automation—whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or otherwise.

Furthermore， improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily， especially better at communicating with humans and tackling new activities.

32. Why was BellaBot invented？

A. To attract more consumers.

B. To make restaurants modern.

C. To do research in restaurants.

D. To help restaurants short of waiters.

33. What can we learn about BellaBot？

A. Its body is shaped like a cat.

B. It miaows to respond to peoples thanks.

C. It keeps its ears open when delivering food.

D. It is designed with four shelves in the center.

34.What is the authors attitude to BellaBot？

A. Negative.

B. Objective.

C. Indifferent.

D. Concerned.

35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？

A. Food.

B. Science.

C. Culture.

D. Entertainment.

Keeping a positive attitude isnt just good for our health. 36 We can transform a tendency toward pessimistic thinking into positive thinking through simple techniques. Here are three things that Ill be doing this year to stay positive.

37 Most of our negative thoughts are just that—thoughts， not facts. When you find yourself believing the negative and pessimistic things your inner voice says， its time to stop and write them down. If your statements still look like facts once theyre on paper， take them to a friend you can trust， and see if he or she agrees with you. Then the truth will surely come out. Identifying and labeling your thoughts asby separating them from the facts will help you escape the cycle of negativity and move toward a positive new outlook.

Identify a positive. 38 Think about your day and identify one positive thing that happened， no matter how small. If you cant think of something from the current day， reflect on the previous day or even the previous week. Or perhaps there is an exciting event you are looking forward to. Once you have identified a positive thought， focus on it to replace the negative.

Develop an attitude of gratitude. People who work daily to develop an attitude of gratitude experience improved mood， energy and substantially less anxiety due to lower cortisol（皮質醇）levels. Develop an attitude of gratitude by taking time out every day to focus on the positive. 39

These three tips sound incredibly basic， but they have tremendous power.40 Join me in putting these steps to use this year， and well gain the physical， mental， and performance benefits that come with a positive frame of mind.

A. Escape negative thoughts.

B. Separate fact from fiction.

C. Be grateful every day to identify a positive.

D. They train our brain to have a positive focus.

E. It also has strong connection with our performance.

F. In time， a positive attitude will become a way of life.

G. Consciously select something positive to think about.
