Unluckily, Bradens dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them not once, but twice and they had to be replaced. But at $3,500 to $6,000 a pair, Bradens carelessness was costly.Bradens mother Ashley sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids, explaining just how much they cost. “I told him that he was lucky we could buy another pair and that some people couldnt afford a new pair,”Ashley said.Those words clearly stuck in Bradens mind, who realized that not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them. So recently, the 10-year-old took it upon himself to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who arent so lucky.Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money. Ashley said,“We werent really sure how it would turn out. He began with a goal of $1,000. We woke up the next morning and found that it had raised $400.”This encouraged him to start making even more videos. Fast-forward a few months and Bradens GoFundMe page has raised over $15,000, which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation. And that money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children.The project has not only taught Braden the value of money, but according to his mom,“hes learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen.”As for Bradens advice to those looking for ways to give back to others?“Dont give up!

The owners of the small farm outside Portland, Oregon, have been hosting the event for 11 years.Walking past the booths (货 摊), youll see Nancy Miller, who owns the farm with her husband, Don. The couple bought the Hillsboro farm for a few reasons.“I love lavender, and it grows so well here, and its just such a wonderful, fragrant (芳香的) flower,”Miller said.“The farm was also a way to raise money for the work we do in Ukraine. We run a rehabilitation (康复) center, and work with children and teens.”Miller explained that besides its beauty and fragrance, lavender has several advantages.“For example, if I have a headache, I put a drop of lavender oil on my forehead, and my headache disappears,”she said.“The other part thats very important is that its relaxing.”Near one of the entrances to the farm is a booth filled with watercolor paintings by Angela Grainger. She has been selling her works at the Lavender Festival for eight years, and says that sheloves the spirit of the event.Grainger began painting during a difficult time in her life.“Painting was like my healing process,”she said.“It makes me happy, and I hope that when people see my paintings, they walk away happy.”Jennie Thompson is also an exhibitor at the event, presenting people with pristine (原始状态的) photographs she took. “I love photography,”Thompson said.“My favorite part is recording life in families and people enjoying their good times.”For Thompson, a photograph is a memory recorded forever.

Kill the snake!”Many an unfortunate harmless snake has been killed because we do not question the truth of our stereotypes. Stereotypes are fixed, or unchanged, ideas or feelings we have about things in our world. They are not always based on facts but influence much of our thinking. Our actions are often based on the stereotypes （模式化观念）we hold in our minds.In fact, it is easy for us to be influenced by these stereotypes.“I cant do that job; only boys do that kind of work.”“Id like to do that when I leave school but I think thats a job for women.” Such ideas can greatly reduce the jobs we might think suitable for ourselves. They become like unseen chains (锁 链) reducing our freedom to choose from many different kinds of things.Stereotypes get into our minds without us even realizing it and then they become part of our way of thinking.“Jenny loves bandaging (包 扎) cuts and wounds. Shes going to be a nurse when she grows up,”say some people.“Jason loves bandaging cuts and wounds. Hes going to be a doctor when he grows up,”say others.When Jenny and Jason watch television they see that nurses are usually women and doctors are usually men. So young Jenny and Jason store in their minds the stereotype that girls become nurses and boys become doctors. They do not remember where the idea came from. They believe that it was what they chose freely for themselves and what they always wanted.To understand more about how stereotypes get into our thoughts secretly we need to know what people say to us and what we hear, watch and read in the media (大众传播媒体). Television and the Internet can be very influential in developing these stereotypes in peoples minds. We need to pay more attention to what are entering our minds daily to avoid these usually untrue ideas and feelings.32. What does the author say about stereotypes in Paragraph 1?A. They are bad acts. B. They are often untrue.C. They are easy to change. D. They are difficult questions.33. What influence do stereotypes have on people?A. They give people fewer choices.B. They change many wrong ideas.C. They help people find better jobs.D. They allow people more freedom.34. Why does the author tell the story of Jenny and Jason?A. To explain two different stereotypes.B. To explain two different kinds of jobs.C. To show how stereotypes are formed.D. To show how children look at future jobs.35. What is the authors main purpose in writing this text?A. To give information about stereotypes.B. To prove stereotypes affect ones behavior.C. To provide ways to stay clear of stereotypes.D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of stereotypes.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。It was the start of another school year, and I was in the fifth grade.
