Childrens Hospital and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for much-needed programs.So at the age of 13, Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to florists and stationery stores to benefit the hospital. His fundraising program, known as Heartbeats for Kids, has since raised more than $ 2,500 for the hospital. “The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could remove the heart from the card and make it beat,” Turner says, explaining how he came up with the name for the fundraiser.Now a 17-year-old high school junior, Turner has less time to devote to card-making, because origami is labor intensive and each card can take up to 30 minutes to design. But Turner still enjoys origami art and has created original designs that have been selected for exhibits that tour the country and world.Turner is an interesting mixture of engineer, artist and philanthropist. His mother, Peggy Turner, says folding origami is a combination of math and art that has helped her son develop his spatial visualization of 3-D objects. Turner is also involved in community service at school and at his church. He was named a Distinguished Finalist this year for the 2020 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards for his community service activities, including the Heartbeats for Kids project. In the process of his volunteer efforts, Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to earn the top score of 2,400 on his SAT.Making and selling the greeting cards has taught Turner about managing a small business. “I learned you need to have somebody who will support you,” he says. “Businesses I sell to have been very nice to me.”The cards benefit not only the hospital, but also the people who buy the cards or get the cards. Turner sees it as a way to bring people together.55. Turners original purpose of making and selling his cards was to _.A. show his love for origami artB. collect money for the hospitalC. learn how to manage a business D. bring more people together56. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that card making _.A. needs physical and mental work B. is well worth admiringC. takes up a lot of Turners time D. is difficult to learn57. What does the writer tell us about Turner?A. He has already become a successful businessman.B. He spends a lot of his time working for his church.C. He designs a heart in each card that has been made.D. He does well in both his lessons and community service.58. The passage is mainly about _.A. a kid who makes a difference B. origami art that helps earn moneyC. making and selling greeting cards D. getting involved in community serviceBDear Dad，Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Fathers Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.Youll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day but Ive always been with you in my heart.You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（档位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didnt have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what Im trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Fathers Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. Its about loving someone more than words can say，and its wishing that it never had to end.I love you, Dad.Love,Jenny59. How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?A. Disappointed.B. Nervous.C. Guilty.D. Frightened.60. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_.A. kept in touch by writing each other B. are separated due to the generation gapC. have been getting along very well D. had a hard time understanding each other61. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?A. She seldom saw him driving that huge car.B. She had never realized his being old and weak.C. She didnt expect to meet with him there.D. She had never seen him driving so slowly before.CWhile some scientists overlook the existence of a sixth sense for danger, a new research from Washington University in St. Louis has identified a brain area that clearly acts as an early warning system and helps us adjust our behavior to avoid dangerous situations.“Our brains are better at picking up not obvious warning signs than we previously thought,” said Joshua Brown, PhD, a research associate in psychology in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal Science.The findings offer exact scientific evidence for a new way to form a concept of the complex control processes taking place in and around the ACC, a brain area located near the top of the frontal lobes and along the walls that divide the left and right hemispheres（大脑半球）.“In the past, we found activity in the ACC when people had to make a difficult decision, or after they made a mistake,” Brown said. “But now we find that this brain area can actually learn to recognize when you might make a mistake, even before a difficult decision has to be made. So the ACC appears to act as an early warning systemit learns to warn us in advance when our behavior might lead to a negative outcome, so that we can be more careful and avoid making a mistake.”By providing a clearer picture of the cognitive mechanisms(认知结构) by which we self monitor and control our behavior, the study is an important step in efforts to develop more effective treatments for mental illnesses. It also provides a new way of understanding inappropriate behaviors that often accompany mental illnesses.“Our results suggest how injury of the ACC mechanisms can lead to breakdowns in the early warning system, so that the brain fails to stop or control inappropriate behavior ahead of time,” said Brown. “On the other hand, in those persons with mental disorder, the ACC might warn of an upcoming problem even when no problem is in the existence.”Known to be an important part of the brains control system, the ACC is believed to help adjust between cold, hard, fact-based reasoning and emotional responses, such as love, fear or expectation.62. According to the passage, the ACC _.A. refers to the sixth sense for danger B. deals with obvious warning signsC. connects the left and right hemispheres D. sends warning messages in advance63. The new research is beneficial because it _.A. provides a new way of avoiding mistakesB. adjusts emotional responses in time of dangerC. helps find better treatments for mental illnessesD. assists people in predicting and avoiding danger64. The new research helps us understand _.A. why we are likely to make mistakes when the ACC is badly injuredB. why people with mental illnesses usually have strange behaviorsC. how the ACC works when something dangerous happensD. how our brain warns us of failure in advanceDThe Celebration ExperimentIn the 1960s, Walt Disney pictured in the mind a future utopian city with underground roads and a climate-controlled round roof. The real community of Celebration, Florida, built in 1999, applies the social and environmental goals of both Disney and the New Urbanism movement.Disney and the New Urbanism have imagined communities that promote social and local communication. Celebration has a central Market Street district to reduce traffic and encourage social contacts. The idea is that if the downtown area is neatly and closely ranked, people will walk and meet their neighbors. Downtown events like art festivals also bring citizens together. Narrow, tree-lined streets are “traffic calm”with slower speed limitsto encourage bicycling and walking.Moreover, housing in Celebration includes both single- and multi-family houses that encourages socialization. Apartment buildings are located close to downtown, and houses are built close together with small yards. They feature entrance halls to encourage citizens to socialize.“Many aspects of that kind of design are really aimed at maximizing social communication between citizens, not just on the streets but also in community institutions that are very much a part of public life there,” says Andrew Ross, a New York University professor who lived in Celebration for one year.Utopian communities such as Celebration are also designed with environmental protection in mind. The town itself is built on 4,900 acres surrounded by a 4,700 acre protected greenbelt. The greenbelt parks, and common areas accommodate native wildlife and animals.High-rise office and apartment buildings provide close office and living space in a small geographic area in order to reduce urban sprawl, the spread of todays cities onto nature areas. Buildings also minimize environmental influence by using cooling and electric systems with insulated（绝缘的;隔热的）glass, cooling towers, and energy-saving lamps.“The tow
