• 2．    Every community has an ice cream store，but not all of them have a mission.When Charles Foreman opened his store，Everyday Sundae，he had a goal in mind， "My objective is to make a positive impact in my community by treating people like family and remembering them，" he said.
      With his business slogan，"A place for community，" Foreman's store has quickly gained a devoted following.Customers visit to enjoy their favorite flavors；artwork and cards from them decorate the walls；and some purchase their paper napkins there to support the store.Foreman has also organized events like storybook readings accompanied by sweet treats for children.What truly sets this business apart is the free ice cream that Foreman generously gives out.
      "You know when they come in，you can see it.It was natural to notice some of the kids have it and others don't.So I'm going to sponsor them." Foreman said as he talked about how he can tell when a visitor wants a treat they can't afford."I just want to do some positive things.I believe my community is missing a family-friendly ice cream shop."
      One day，Nicole Harkin，one of his regular customers，noticed Foreman give a free ice cream to children without money.For Foreman，this was a constant gesture that had just gone unnoticed，but Harkin reacted with surprise.She came back and handed him an envelope containing 100 dollars.Foreman was so touched by Harkin's gift that he posted it on Instagram.Foreman and Harkin's kind behaviors also moved other customers to cover Foreman's free ice creams for people they didn't know.Foreman's ice cream fund has received many donations since then.

• 3．Eating a traditional Mediterranean-type diet--rich in foods such as seafood，fruit，and nuts--may help reduce the risk of dementia （癡呆） by almost a quarter，a new study has revealed.
     Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean-like diet had up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not.This research，published today in the journal BMC Medicine，is one of the biggest studies of its kind.
     Scientists analyzed data from 60，298 individuals from the UK Biobank，including individuals from across the UK，who had completed a dietary assessment.The authors scored individuals based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Medierranean one.The participants were followed for almost a decade，during which time there were 882 cases of dementia.
     The authors considered each individual's genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is known as their polygenic （多基因的） risk--a measure of all the different genes that are related to the risk of dementia.They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mdierranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for his condition，which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk，having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition.
     Dr Janice Ranson，joint lead author on the paper，said："Dementia impacts the lives of millions of individuals throughout the world，and there are currently limited options for treating this condition.Our study shows a Medierranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk.For example，the dementia prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific foods and nutrients.
     The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their ethnic background as white，British or Irish，as genetic data was only available based on European counties，and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit.
  
  （1）What did scientists do during the study？

  
  A．They scored the Mediterranean diet.
  B．They tracked the participants' health.
  C．They collected data from 60，298 families.
  D．They selected 882 potential dementia cases.
  （2）What can we infer about the Meidierranean diet from paragraph 4？

  
  A．Its effect is closely related to the polygenic risk.
  B．It increases one's chance of developing dementia.
  C．It can reduce dementia risk regardless of one's genetic risk.
  D．It can provide protection against various genetic diseases.
  （3）What are Dr Janice Ranson's words mainly about？

  
  A．Values of the study.
  B．Features of the study.
  C．Elements of a healthy diet.
  D．Ways to deal with dementia.
  （4）What will further research most probably focus on？

  
  A．Finding out more benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
  B．Applying the findings to the treatment of dementia.
  C．Involving participants of diverse races and nationalities.
  D．Studying the rate of dementia within different age groups.

      Once，when I was a teenager，my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（馬戲）.Finally，there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
      This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children，all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
      Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean.The children were well-behaved，all of them standing in line，two-by-two behind their parents，holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns，elephants，and other acts they would see that night in a low voice.
      It was clear that they had never been to the circus before.The father was at the head of the pack，and the mother was holding her husband's hand.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded， "Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
      The ticket lady gave that price.The man's wife let go of his hand，her head dropped.The father leaned a little closer and asked，"How much did you say？" The ticket lady gave the price again.The man didn't have enough money.
      How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？
  Paragraph1：
      Seeing what was going on，my dad put his hand in his pocket，pulled out a ＄20 bill and dropped it on the ground.______________.
  Paragraph 2：
      That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets._____________.
