In April 2008, I came acrss an essay written by a by with autism(自闭症) when he was 14. I was impressed. I thught there was a chance fr a dcumentary. The directr agreed. “Find the by!” he said. A cuple f mnths later, I fund him, Antn. S it began - a film abut Antn’s transfrmatin. At least, that’s what I thught at the time.
During filming, I helped put him int different hspitals and camps fr treatment and we became clse. There were lts f unfrgettable mments. I remember ne visit when we sat tgether, talking quietly and eating fd I’d made. Then it was time fr me t g. Withut saying a wrd, Antn std up and started t bang his head against the wall. BAM. BAM. Bld streamed dwn his face. At that mment, lking at the despair n Antn’s face, I recgnized myself. What I recgnized was an emtinal abundance in him that I had myself. Like Antn, I was ver the tp. If I lved smene, I lved them cmpletely. If I was upset, I let it shw. But unlike Antn, I’d learned t edit emtins as if they were a film. But lately, I was waking up in the mrning with ne terrifying thught: “Wh am I?” Antn helped me t answer this. He was the nly persn in my life wh let me lve withut any hlding back and wh lved me the same way.
The film Antn’s Right Here was released in Octber 2012 and shwn at film festivals in Russia where it received prizes at several majr Russian film festivals.
After the film was shwn by the First TV Channel, Russia’s main TV channel, letters flwed in. Autistic individuals and their families needed help. That’s when the idea f a fundatin began t take shape in my mind. The fundatin, called Antn’s Right Here, fficially pened in December 2013. It’s Russia’s first-ever centre fr adults with autism. It keeps helping peple with autism like Antn.
When we started t film, Antn was 19. He’s nw 31. I’m still very much a part f his life. With his unedited emtins, Antn reminds me every day f what it’s like t be really, unreservedly lved and t lve back in return.
Why did the writer want t find Antn?
A．She wanted t transfrm Antn’s life. B．She was asked t d s by the directr. C．She saw Antn’s ptential t be a writer. D．She intended t make a film abut Antn.
Why did Antn hurt himself during a visit?
A．He was lst fr wrds.B．His cnditin was getting wrse.
C．He did nt want the writer t leave. D．He tended t lse his temper fr n reasn.
What d we knw abut the dcumentary frm the passage?
It tk 5 years t sht.
It arused little scial cncern.
Shting it made a difference t the writer’s life.
D．A fundatin f the same name was established by Antn. 27．What lessn did the writer learn frm Antn?
A．Hw t deal with autism.B．Hw t lve and be lved. C．Hw t edit her emtins.D．Hw t live life t the fullest.

There was a time when a trip t the supermarket in the United States ften ended with a seemingly simple questin frm the cashier, “Paper r plastic?” Well, which type f bag wuld yu chse?
While bth types f bags have sme influence n the envirnment, it has lng been suppsed that paper bags are better. They are made frm a renewable surce, are brken dwn easily, burn withut giving ff thick smke and can be recycled. Hwever, the prducing prcess behind paper bags uses mre energy than that f plastic nes. Hw can this be true?
Studies shw that paper bag prductin requires fur times as much energy as plastic bag prductin. And the amunt f water used t make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence n frests is very serius. It takes abut furteen millin trees t prduce ten billin paper bags, which happen t be the number f bags used in the United States yearly. In terms f recycling, the idea that paper bags are mre envirnment-friendly than plastic nes can be quickly discarded. Research shws it requires abut 98% less energy t recycle plastic than it des t recycle paper.
Even thugh paper bags might be mre harmful than plastic nes, plastic still seems t be cnsidered as the mre harmful f the tw by gvernments. In Ireland, fr example, a tax has been intrduced t discurage the use f plastic bags. Peple have t pay 22 cents fr every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has drpped quickly.
There’s n dubt that it makes mre sense t reuse these bags. Hwever, we dn’t seem t be ding that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If s, clth bags are a better chice, but still, their prductin als has a bad influence n the envirnment. S what t d? Hw shuld we answer the questin f “Paper r plastic?” It seems that we first need t ask urselves ne mre general questin: “What can I d t help the envirnment?”
Why des the authr ask the questin at the end f paragraph 1?
T express the authr’s dubts.
T tell readers hw t save mney.
T shw the kindness f the cashier.
T intrduce the pint fr discussin t aruse readers’ interest.
Cmpared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A．need mre water t prduceB．require less energy t recycle C．have less influence n frestsD．take mre time t break dwn
What des the underlined wrd “discarded” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Shared.B．Discussed.C．Given up.D．Put frward.
Which questin des the authr prbably hpe the cashier ask?
A．Paper r clth?B．A new bag r yur wn ne?
C．Paper r plastic?D．A small bag r big ne?

America---that glrius symbl f multiculturalism, the great melting pt---qualifies as part f the develped wrld, right? Nt quite, if we cnsider the state f secnd language learning in schls acrss the cuntry. Accrding t a 2018 study, Eurpe ften tps the U.S. in freign language educatin in schl. 92% f Eurpean students are learning a freign language in schl. In America it’s nly 20%. In mre than 20 Eurpean cuntries, studying a freign language fr at least ne year is cmpulsry. In cmparisn, nly 10 states and D.C. require learning a freign language fr graduatin.
I went t a public schl in Pennsylvania that ranked n Newsweek’s list f America’s tp high schls in 2015. Freign language learning was nt a graduatin requirement. A cmmn respnse t such stries and statistics is: S what? Why shuld Americans care abut learning anther language when English has recently seemed t dminate as the fficial language f the wrld?
The wrld is glbalizing faster than we can imagine. Mre than half f the wrld’s ppulatin speaks mre than ne language. It is als increasingly becming the need fr success in this glbalizing wrld. Having the ability t speak a secnd language pens up the pssibility f travelling and immersing yurself in anther part f the wrld. This means peple can feel ther cultures, and traditins in places yu were previusly kept away because yu culd nt cmmunicate in the language.
The teaching f freign languages can be instrumental in bringing abut peace and unity in the cuntry we live in. Learning a secnd language can be an efficient vehicle t help t bridge cmmunities. T speak anther language means having access t a universe f different experiences and wrld views f anther cmmunity f peple.
Why des the writer mentin Eurpe?
America makes studying a freign language cmpulsry.
America is the glrius symbl f multiculturalism.
America isn’t really qualified as the develped wrld.
America desn’t fcus n freign language educatin
What is American’s attitude twards educatin f freign languages?
A. Less cncerned.B. Mre wrried.
C. Quite dubtful.D. Very supprtive.
What can visiting peple d if they can speak the language where they visit?
A. Make the wrld glbalizing.B. Achieve success in business.
C. Experience peple’s real life there.D. Keep away their wn culture.
What is the main idea f the last paragraph?
Using a secnd language can bring harmny.
Cmmunities f peple enjy the great views.
Speaking anther language is really necessary.
Learning a secnd language can be difficult.
