That is what Cody Jackson, 10, from Alpharetta, Georgia, does all the year round. Cody visits airports to greet soldiers and has sent nearly 5,000 pounds of care packages to the soldiers. He has also written books to teach kids to love their country, and sells the books on his website, 1, to pay for his package supplies.For all his work, Cody was selected as a 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Hero. The 10 Huggable Heroes chosen each received $10,000.“When I was four years old, I was at the airport and it was taking so long to get through the airport. I asked my mom and dad why it was taking us so long and they told me about 9/11 and what the soldiers did that day. They explained the soldiers were providing extra (额外的) protection to help keep us safe. That is when I started to thank the soldiers,” Cody said. “Sending them care packages makes me feel good. I hope the packages make the soldiers feel at home. I hope they show the soldiers that they are not forgotten.”When asked how it felt to be chosen as a hero, Cody smiled, “It was really exciting and it felt really good that I won that money so I could send more packages to the soldiers and get more things.”Cody also hopes more kids can send care packages to the soldiers and thank them for risking their lives. “If they want to help me or if they need some information, they can go to my website,” he added.21.

However, the U.S. has also seen the birth of thousands of strange and even crazy inventions. One example of a strange invention is the dog hoser.Cleaning and brushing a dog at home can be difficult. Many dog owners dont have the tools or knowledge needed to properly cut an animals fur (软毛). For these reasons, some dog owners take their animals to groomers (宠物美容师) for haircuts. After groomers cut a dogs fur, they often use a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) to remove the cut fur from the pets coat. This is where the real trouble starts. Many dogs are afraid of the strange machine and its very loud noise.To solve the problem, one creative inventor designed a vacuum cleaner dogs might like. The dog hoser is a vacuum cleaner that looks just like a dog.Dog-shaped, with a vacuum cleaner hidden in its stomach, the dog hoser looks like a furry friend. Its sound is low, and the hose looks like the dogs tail. It may look like a new friend, but what do you think happens when the groomer pulls out the dog hosers tail and starts running it across the dogs body?After trying one in his shop, one dog groomer said, “My friends expensive dog moved back nervously when I used it.” A month later, his friend reported that her dog was still afraid of meeting other dogs.25. Whats the problem with the vacuum cleaner?A. It cant make a dog clean and tidy.B. It isnt easy to remove the cut fur.C. It makes a dog fearful.D. It is very expensive.26. The dog hoser _.A. becomes a dogs new friendB. looks hairyC. is shaped like a dogs tailD. works silently27. What do you think happened to the dog hoser?A. It helped its inventor make a lot of money.B. It became popular among dog owners.C. It was widely used by groomers.D. It faced an uncertain future.CCoast to coast by train via (经由) Chicago, traveling towards the westTake a daily train to ChicagoLake Shore LimitedLake Shore LimitedCapitol LimitedCardinal (Wed, Fri, Sun)Train number494492951New York (Penn Station) depart (出发)15:45 day 106:45 day 1Boston (South Station) depart|11:55 day 1|Washington DC (Union Station) depart|16:05 day 111:10 day 1Chicago (Union Station) arrive09:45 day 209:45 day 208:45 day 210:05 day 2Coast to coast by train via Chicago, traveling towards the eastTake a daily train from ChicagoCapitol LimitedLake Shore LimitedLake Shore LimitedCardinal (Tue, Thur, Sat)Train number304484850Chicago (Union Station) depart18:40 day 321:30 day 321:30 day 317:45 day 3Washington DC (Union Station) arrive13:10 day 4|17:55 day 4Boston (South Station) arrive21:10 day 4|New York (Penn Station) arrive18:25 day 421:45 day 4* Keep in mind that these trains run for over 2,000 miles.

But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?Experts say its because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “Id rather spend the extra money to get something I know Ill be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “Its fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands arent any better. “Its wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “Youll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.” 31. The example of Jims report wants to tell us _.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. Koss Pro headphones are better than BeatsC. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityD. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands32. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _.A. to show off B. for their better quality C. for their better designs D. to belong to a special group33.

They are not worth the price.B. They make him feel confident.C. They need to improve their quality.D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.35. The text is mainly about _.A. how to buy things reasonably B. the competition between brandsC. the different values of teenagersD. whether expensive brands are worth high prices第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to make a great first impressionYouve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers. 36Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 37 Be on timeWhen meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing.
