7.Since 1985,Johnny Jennings,86,has been selling newspapers and magazines to a recycling center with his son to raise his savings account.By the time Jennings'only child was 17,he stopped joining his father,but the money they made covered the down payment for his first home years later.
Even though his son is all grown up now,Jennings hasn't slowed down his efforts.In fact,he's turned his recycling money into something bigger.
Jennings visits local churches and businesses to collect paper,which he brings to a recycling center for money.But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account,he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Children's Homes & Family Ministries.Once a year,he'11give the organization a check somewhere between﹩10,000 and﹩35,000.By 2016,that reaches﹩400,000.

These days,Jennings'recycling has turned into a community effort.After he's made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches,he'11find more items waiting for him at home.Community members drop off other recyclables at his house so he can sell them,along with books,food,clothes,and other items to give away.
Recycling centers typically pay just one-half to three cents per pound of paper,but Jennings'visits have added up big time.In 2016 alone,he sold more than 400,000 pounds of paper and 51,000 aluminum cans,and collected more than 32,000 pennies.Over the course of 32 years he's recycled more than 9.8 million pounds of paper,saving all estimated 79,000 trees in the process."He is the last of a dying breed(种类),"wrote Jennings'friend in a Facebook post."Our generation and the ones to follow could learn a lot from Mr.Jennings."
Jennings says he'll continue raising money for charity as long as his health allows."If you got it to give,give it away,"he told CNN.

3.In the past years the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased,and so has the number of injuries.It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year.Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2011.
The study,published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991and 2011.The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤).The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent).Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74,with an average age of 26.The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall.The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury,"explained the study author Lara McKenzie,PhD,director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital."This trend,combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries,demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers."

A.The arm.B.The ankle.C.The knee.D.The hand.

10.In 2012,the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants:a pair of ravens(乌鸦) named Jubilee and Grip.Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens's birth.This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist's own pet bird.One of his predecessors(前辈) was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.
Dickens's Grip,who had an impressive vocabulary,appears as a character in the author's fifth novel,Barnaby Rudge.On 28 January 1841,Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole:"my notion is to have Barnaby always in company with a pet raven,who is immeasurably more knowing than himself.To this end I have been studying my bird,and think I could make a very distinctive character of him."
Unfortunately,just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter,Grip died,probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier.The bird had developed a strange habit-tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin.Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend,the illustrator Daniel Maclise,about the raven's death.
He related how,when Grip began to show signs of sikness,the vet was called and"administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil".Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor).The following morning,Grip was able to eat"some warm porridge",but his recovery was short lived.
As Dickens wrote to Maclise,"On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset,but soon recovered,walking twice or thrice along the coach-house,stopped to bark,exclaimed‘Hello old girl'(his favorite expression) and died.He behaved throughout with a decent manner,which cannot be too much admired…The children seem rather glad of it.He bit their ankles.But that was play."

32.Which of the following is right about Dickens's pet Grip?B
A.he liked painting a lot.
B.he was quite ill before his death.
C.he could speak English fluently.
D.he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.
33.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?D
A.Because the bird was very strange-looking.
B.Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.
C.Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him.
D.Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.
34.What caused the death of Dickens's Grip?A
A.His strange diet.
B.His old age.
C.The killing of the coachman.
D.His bad habit of biting people.
