“You’re fired!” Andrew wasn’t joking. At that moment, he wanted his personal care
attendant, Christy, out of his life forever. “You’re fired!” He said it again for extra
emphasis. Christy didn’t draw back. She needed this job. Hurricane Katrina had
damaged her savings along with her house. But the retired PE teacher wasn’t
daunted. She was a tough nut.
When eight-year-old Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome （阿斯
伯格综合征）, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to
provide after-school care. However, in New Orleans, the wait can be years. Cindy
chose a program through Volunteers of America. Even so, it was eight years before
they were matched with Christy. Meanwhile, Andrew’s family did their best to protect
him from life’s difficulties.
There was a lot to worry about. Could Andrew graduate from high school? Would
he ever have a job? Could he live independently? “Andrew wouldn’t take a step
without his mother’s permission,” Christy says. “So letting him experience failure is
the only way he can learn to do things on his own.”
Soon, Cindy would no longer write Andrew’s papers for him. Christy wouldn’t be
helping him with homework either. He complained, loudly at times. But then things
began to change. Andrew would start on his homework after school. Christy showed
him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with disappointment.
Once his work was done, Christy offered freedom. She’d take him to the bookstore,
the movies, or out to eat his favorite food, sushi.
One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school
and entered community college. And he stopped trying to fire Christy. Last spring,
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Andrew moved into his own apartment, above the family’s garage. He’s working
toward an associate’s degree in video game design. He’s studying to get his learner’s
permit to drive. At 25, he says life has never been better. There is no doubt that
Andrew and Christy have done it together.
24. What does the underlined word “daunted” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Worried. B. Discouraged. C. Surprised. D. Embarrassed.
25. What did Christy do to help Andrew out of his trouble?
A. She designed a project for him.
B. She sheltered him from life’s hardships.
C. She let him gain independence from failure.
D. She made him ignore his mother’s permission.
26. What was a reward for Andrew if he completed his work?
A. Playing computer games. B. Reading books in the library.
C. Doing what he liked best. D. Going to see a film.
27. What can we infer about Andrew from the text?
A. He couldn’t live a normal life without Christy.
B. He has decided to live away from his family.
C. He is planning to hire Christy for some years.
D. He is not really content with his present life.

Hearing aids will become more accessible thanks to a new rule. The US Food and
Drug Administration （FDA） announced on Tuesday that people can now buy
hearing aids directly from a store or online, said FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert
Califf. Before, Americans could only get a hearing aid with a prescription, visiting a
hearing health professional and having a custom fitting. The new rule will help those
with hearing loss to buy hearing aids over the counter.
Dr. Robert Califf said, “Today’s action will not only help those with hearing loss
gain access to more affordable and innovative production options, but it’ll release the
power of American industry to improve the technology in a way it’ll impact the heavy
burden of disability from hearing loss that affects the world.”
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association（ASHA） lauded the
new rule made by the FDA. “ASHA fully supports the creation of this new category
of over-the-counter hearing devices, which will increase the availability and
学科网（北京）股份有限公司affordability of hearing aids for many Americans,” said Janice R. Trent, a leader of
ASHA.
The new rule still doesn’t ensure hearing aids are covered by insurance. Hearing
aids often burn a huge hole in people’s pockets with a pair costing $ 4,000, according
to a study published in JAMA. Considering that five large companies control 90％ of
the global marketplace for hearing aids, FDA is counting on the new rule to bring
down prices by inviting more players into the market.
“I have a big smile on my face right now,” said Dr. Frank Lin, director of the
Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health. “In 1977, the only way for hearing
aids to be safe and effective was that they were programmed, fitted and professionally
adjusted by a licensed provider. Now the new rule could change the market. This
allows more companies that are already making innovative earbuds to enter the
market.”
28. What does Dr. Robert Califf focus on about the new rule in paragraph 2?
A. The background of making it. B. Its possible positive influences.
C. His worries over its acceptance. D. His explanations of its contents.
29. What does the underlined word “lauded” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Challenged. B. Rejected. C. Praised. D. Adjusted.
30. Why are hearing aids so expensive in America according to the text?
A. There is little competition. B. They are in great demand.
C. They are of excellent quality. D. More insurance is required.
31. Why does Dr. Frank Lin feel delighted?
A. More and more companies will be well monitored.
B. Hearing aids will be much safer and more effective.
C. The market of hearing aids will be more dynamic.
D. The process of making hearing aids will be simpler.

A start-up company backed by tech giants IBM and Microsoft plans to build
thousands of artificial reefs across the globe to fight climate change by restoring coral
reef（珊瑚礁） ecosystems.
The Reef Company plans to have its first reefs in the water by December 2022, and
is encouraging more companies to fund reefs to offset （抵消） their carbon
footprint. “We’ve calculated we need to build 2,500 reefs, each measuring 4 square
学科网（北京）股份有限公司kilometers, over the next 10 years to absorb the extra carbon we have on the planet at
the moment,” says Jeroen van de Waal, founder of The Reef Company.
Coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine life. They provide a source of income for
millions of people through fishing and tourism and protect coastal communities by
reducing the power of waves before they reach the shore. Yet they’re under threat
from global warming and 90% of all coral reefs could be lost by 2050 if nothing is
done to protect them.
As well as improving biodiversity and storing carbon, The Reef Company, which is
based in Portugal, hopes to give a boost to local economies and collect real-time data
for researchers.
The artificial reefs are constructed from eco-friendly concrete made from recycled
industrial waste and will feature consoles（控制台） filled with sensors that can
measure how salty, warm and acid the ocean is. “The reefs will provide a
continuously expanding set of connected sensors to gather and analyze data,
generating insights in real time,” says Andrés Ortolá, managing director of Microsoft
Portugal.
To act as a sink for carbon dioxide, the artificial reefs will need to support plants
such as seagrass and mangroves alongside coral. While coral reefs use carbon to grow,
the process also lowers the pH in the water, which results in the release of CO .

Benjamin Horton at the Earth Observatory of Singapore says artificial reefs will need
to be well maintained to prove successful. “If the ecosystems are damaged, their
carbon sink capacity will be affected, and the carbon stored will be released.”
32. What does the author mainly try to do in paragraph 3?
A. Warn more companies of the extinction of coral reefs.
B. Emphasize the economic benefits of artificial coral reefs.
C. Show coral reefs play a role in fighting global warming.
D. Tell why the efforts of The Reef Company are important.
33. Why are the artificial coral reefs equipped with sensors?
A. To help natural coral reefs recover.
B. To monitor new industrial resources.
C. To keep track of ocean animals’ health.
D. To collect real-time data of the ocean.
34. What can we learn about Benjamin Horton?
A. He shows no interest in the plan. B. He is worried about the project.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. He finds artificial reefs useless. D. He is hopeful about ecosystems.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. An attempt to fight climate change.
B. A company devoted to studying reefs.
C. A creative way to build artificial reefs.
D. An international cooperation in science.
