Though very cold temperatures continue to trouble the US, an act of kindness has warmed everyone. In Chicago a young man provided a homeless old man with the proper footwear — from his own feet. Jessica Bell, a passenger, saw everything and posted the story on Facebook. According to her Facebook post, Bell was taking the train home on Friday when she noticed a homeless old man sitting across from her. Bell wrote that the man was wearing tattered (破烂的) shoes, and many pairs of socks to keep his feet warm, but there was blood seeping (渗) through.
On the same train was another man. According to Bell's description, he was young, was carrying a bag and a suitcase. He was wearing big black snow boots, which looked new and expensive. They were built for a Chicago winter. Then he did a good thing.
Bell described that the young man took off his own boots and passed them to the old man. He opened his suitcase and gave him a pair of socks as well. Then the young man put on a different pair of shoes — not as nice as the ones he had given away.He told the old man to try them on and helped him clean his feet and change into the new boots as quickly as he could, and then left the train.
At the end of her post, Bell wrote, “I love my city. I love that in a time and place where a quiet act of kindness appears without warning,”

In the United States, there are many species of ants that are red in color. Many times people will call ants“red ants”because they do not know the correct name. However,the ant that is most often called the “red ant” is the Red Imported Fire.
Red Imported Fire ants are black and red in color, measuring from three to six millimeters in length. They often nest in soil and other moist environments such as the edges of riverbanks and ponds. Red Imported Fire ants move eggs, or pupae (蛹) up and down in their nest. A red ant colony (群) may contain several queens and thousands of worker ants.
When attacked, Red Imported Fire ants are aggressive insects, but they are most often seen building piles of soil outdoors. They feed on seeds, young plants and small insects. They may attack and catch small animals, first biting them and then putting venom (毒液) into their body.
When you are beaten by a Red Imported Fire ant, you feel as if touched by a lighted match. After they bite, the ants hold on to the victim and deliver their venom. Most people experience pain and red bumps, while a few may experience a serious reaction. Emergency services should be contacted at once if a person experiences sickness, headache or difficulty breathing.
The Red Imported Fire ant has become a major pest worldwide, spreading from South America to the Southeastern United States, Australia, China and the Philippines.

His app could save lives
Nikhil Gopal is an 18-year-old boy who has invented a system that helps diagnose (诊断)and treat a deadly disease. Here’s what he had to say to Scope.
Scope: What inspired you to help people who are sick with malaria (疟疾)?
Nikhil: My aunt. She lives in a small town in India. She was diagnosed with malaria and got treatment at a small local hospital,but the treatment she was given wasn’t working. Once the doctors put her on a different kind of drug, she got better I wanted to help doctors figure out how to more effectively treat patients like her.
Scope: You invented the Malisa app. How does it work?
Nikhil: You put a drop of the patient's blood on a plastic CD-like device (装置) that I created. If the blood contains malaria, a chemical reaction takes place and the device changes color. The intensity (强度) of the color corresponds to how much malaria is in the patient's body. Then you take a picture of it with your phone. The Malisa app uses the photo to interpret the blood test and tell you how much of the malaria parasite (寄生虫) is in the blood.
Scope: Then what?
Nikhil: The idea is to give the test to patients many times to keep track of parasite levels. If the levels are going up, then you know that either the patient isn’t being treated or the treatment isn’t working and a new type needs to be introduced.
Scope: What is your goal for Malisa?
Nikhil: Here in the U.S. malaria is easy to treat. It's much harder to treat in poorer places where there are few medical resources. The system that I created is a lot cheaper than other malaria tests and it doesn't require electricity, which means you can use it pretty much anywhere. I'd like to see it used to help people in poor areas.
9.Why did Nikhil invent the Malisa app?
A.To try a long-term treatment.
B.To support his aunt's research.
C.To improve medical conditions in India.
D. To help treat malaria sufferers effectively.
10.What is used by the Malisa app to find out the blood test result?
A.Some CDs. B.A plastic device.
C.A photo of the color. D.Some chemical materials.
11. What can we learn about the Malisa app?
A. It is a bit expensive.
B.It is convenient to use.
C. It is widely used in the U.S.
D. It needs considerable medical support.

Waylon Klitzman's legs were shaking. The 15-year old from Evansville, Wisconsin, said he is “not really that social” — and he especially dislikes standing in front of large groups of people. The auction (拍卖) room at the Wisconsin county fair was crowded. Klitzman took a deep breath and thought about why he came. He was there to sell his pig, Roo. He was there to donate the money he made to Beat Nb, a nonprofit organization working to cure neuroblastoma, the most common form of cancer that affects children. He was there for his favorite teacher, Kim Katzenmeyer, whose niece was diagnosed with the disease a few days before her fourth birthday.
Besides, it would be over soon — he only had to sell the pig once, right? Wrong.
Over the next hour, three different bidders in a row bought the pig and donated it back to Klitzman, who finally raised more than,$10,000 for the fight against cancer.
“I did not see that happening,”Klitzman said. “Usually, they just sell it once! So my dream got bigger and bigger every time they said, ‘Give it back.’I was pretty proud.”
Klitzman bought Roo last spring. The teen belongs to the 4-H Club, which teaches young people about farming. He planned to sell the pig for meat and for a profit. Then he learned Katzenmeyer was leaving Evansville High School and he changed his mind.
Katzenmeyer loved her job and her pupils, She said there was only one thing that could persuade her to leave her“second family”at Evansville High School — her actual family.Katzenmeyer's mother and then her niece were diagnosed with different forms of cancer So Katzenmeyer decided to join Beat Nb full-time as a fundraiser (筹款人), taking a
significant pay cut in the process.
As for Klitzman, he'd raised $10,070.And Katzenmeyer rushed over to give him a big hug and tell him what a great kid he is.
“My heart is bursting with pride for him.” "Katzenmeyer said., “He doesn’t know the impact that he is having, and I don’t think that any 15-year-old kid would at this point. Someday he will.”
12. Why did Klitzman sell his pig in the end?
A.He desired to help his family.
B.He planned to sell it for meat.
C. He wanted to join the 4-H Club.
D.He hoped to raise money for Beat Nb.
13.What can we infer about this auction?

B.It attracted few people.
C. It was unexpectedly successful.
D.It was important to Evansville High School.
14.What can we learn about Katzenmeyer?
A. She was prepared to earn much money.

C.She regretted working for Beat Nb.
D.She was eager to leave her school.

Your love,
Li Hua
