A former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating $20 million to Morgan State University the largest gift any historically black college or university (HBCU) has ever received from a former student. The money, pledged by Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina, wil
9、l fund scholarships that were established under the Tylers name in 2002. Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study. The following year, Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from Unit
10、ed Parcel Service and got a job with the company as a driver. He rose through the ranks during his 34-year career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998. Tyler and his wife, also a Baltimore n
11、ative, have lived all across the country but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings. Their latest pledge follows a $5million commitment they made in 2016 for the fund, which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships. Marybeth Gasman, a professor at Rutge
12、rs University who studies HBCUs, said the gift is significant because public HBCUs like Morgan State University tend to have a lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones. “For a long time, they werent asking alumni to give,” she said. But that has changed in the past couple of decades, she ad
13、ded, and the schools have “started asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy (慈善) on campus.” David K. Wilson, the president of Morgan State University, said the money will help students for years to come. “Morgan is so proud to call this son and daughter of the great city of Balt
14、imore our own,” he said in a statement. “Through their historic giving, the doors of higher education will most certainly be kept open for generations of aspiring leaders whose financial shortfalls may have kept them from realizing their academic dreams.” “We are forever indebted to the Tylers”.4Why

People saved a 20-foot orca (虎鲸) that was stuck between rocks on an Alaskan shore by continuously pouring water over it and protecting it from birds who circled above the defensel
18、ess whale. The whale was ultimately saved after a six-hour, labor-intensive life-saving operation. Someone spotted the large whale on the Prince of Wales Island near the coast of British Columbia on the morning of July 29th. The Coast Guard was called around 9 a.m. local time. Chance Strickland, the
19、 captain of a private yacht in Alaska, and his crew anchored and began life-saving action that were videoed by Aroon Melane and posted on the Internet. Strickland could hear the orca calling out to killer whales swimming in the area. People on other boats stopped with water and buckets to pour water
20、 over the animal. “There were tears coming out of its eyes,” Mr. Strickland told the local newspaper. “It was pretty sad.” The group of people formed a chain that passed buckets of seawater back and forth and poured the water on the orca, which seemed to liven it up. It made a noise and raised its t
21、ail when it got water. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was called in, which can be seen on the video using a machine to spray a mist of seawater on the orca, which doubled as a way to keep the whale cool and scare the large group of birds that were hoping to feast on the b
22、east. Melane said in her video that the orca was stranded (搁浅) for about six hours until the tide came in and swept it back into the ocean. The group efforts of Stricklands crew and the NOAA saved the 13-year-old killer whale.8Why did birds circle above the orca?AThey were eager to eat it.BThey wish
23、ed to protect it.CThey were attracted by the people.DThey wanted to find a place to rest.9What did Strickland do immediately after finding the whale?APosted pictures online.BCalled friends for help.CTook action to save it.DVideoed the trapped animal.10Why did the whale make a noise and raise its tai

25、Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining? People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with
26、digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, Im so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps alm
27、ost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities. Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, str
28、eet names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often arent sequential either be
29、cause after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now thats 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simp
30、le as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too. That brings me back
31、 to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.12How does the author fe

34、in, strengthen the immune system and reduce stress. Laughter stimulates hormones which make us feel happy. Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.17 Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before maj

36、n up in cities and towns all over the world. At a laughter session, a trained therapist instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter. 19 And it takes them some time to get rid of their inhibitions. They might even start off with fake laughter, but this
37、doesnt matter because our bodies cant tell the difference, and the results are the same. Moreover, laughter is contagious(传染的). 20So next time you fell ill, stressed out or depressed, try watching a funny film or try remembering an amusing incident in your life. You will soon feel better.ALaughter h

But for Jose Nuez Romaniz, his 21 on Sunday is one that he wont 22 for the rest of his life. The 19-year

Little did he know that he was about to make an incredible 25 . When he arrived, Jose noticed a plastic bag on the ground filled with cash,
41、which turned out to be $135, 000. When I first saw it, I was very 26 , not knowing what to do, Jose told the New York Times. After taking a moment to 27 himself, Jose called the police. And the police soon discovered that the money had 28 been left behind by a worker 29 with refilling the ATM. Think
42、ing that it is the biggest amount of money ever found and 30 in Albuquerque history, the mayor and the police chief held a ceremony to honor Joses 31 . And, perhaps best of all, the police chief invited Jose to 32 a job as a public service aid for the department after his 33 . For Jose, it was the b

This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers.In my teen years, he taught me things Id need t
50、o know to survive in the real world. When I moved out on my own, I called him usually when something broke into my apartment and I needed to know how to fix the toilet, the air-conditioner or the wall.But then, eventually, I needed him less. For everything, I had Google. I dont know when it happened
51、, but when I called our conversations developed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad”. Him: “Hi, sweets. Heres Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.Then, this past summer, I moved in with my parents for three weeks while my house
52、 was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead(隔板）at their dock(船坞）. “How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”“I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey shore.”“You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad. I knew about the summer a
53、t the manufacturing plant that burned his hands raw, and even the tiny little kitchen, where he learned how to make the best pancake. But I never knew this.“Yes. Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circulars saw (圆锯).” All of a sudden, I realized that maybe its not that theres noth
54、ing left to say. Maybe its just that Ive spent my life asking him the wrong questions.

With the encouragement from the people around me as well as my efforts, everything has changed - Ive made significant progress in my studies and made more friends in my class.

57、agraph 1:We ended up our talking but I was lost in thought. For years, I had taken it for granted that dad could give me answers to any of my questions only if I asked, but seldom did I try to understand his life just like the summer when he was building bulkhead and what he wanted from me. Maybe he
58、 was also eager to share his story with me, or he wouldnt have asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead. After all, it was hard, manual labor. A few weeks later, after I moved back into my house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Heres Mom.”Paragraph 2:“Wait, Dad,” I said.
59、“How are you?” We talked a lot that day, from the little quarrel between him and my mom to the job he was working on. Nothing important. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was novel, as well as to my dad. I sensed his voice with excitement and delight. It was a whole new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.
