18．On Saturday 17 September 2016，you may catch sight of hundreds of apes（猩猩） running around the streets of London．They'll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie，you'll probably think．But in fact，when the starter's pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year，this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years．People from all over the world will run，jog or walk 8 km in gorilla costumes through the capital's streets，passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral．By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line，the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa．
    Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes．If，however，you're looking to reall y like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice，then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you've been searching for．In this difficult and tiring team event，participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage．It's more about friendship than winning．Over 150 such events worldwide have raised£5 million．
    But fundraising doesn't have to involve physical effort．Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber's song‘Baby'over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song．They needed to raise $1，000 in one week to achieve this．Beyond expectations，they exceeded（超过） the goal within three days．Even teachers chipped in．
    If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September，you only have to pay£60 to register．This includes the gorilla suit，which you can keep．If you take part，not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat，you'll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!

17．A college student has turned the act of telling someone off into an art form．Lama Ali，who attend school in Virginia，had three final assignments due on the same day for her fashion drawing class．Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight，the 20-year-old decided to include a message in American Sign Language to her professor：
When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write"you got me fucked up"in sign language on your final piece．
--Shawty Arabia（@LemAli23）December 7，2016
"You got me fucked up，"a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL，in a form of sign known as finger spelling（聋哑字母表），which uses signs for each letter，rather than for the words themselves．
"Honestly the idea just came to me while I was finishing up the piece，"Ali told The Huffington Post．"I was looking at it and thought，‘This could really use something else'And then the idea struck me：Why not secretly express how I was feeling while struggling at the library at 4a．m．？"
Once the fashion design major had finished her masterpiece，she posted it to Twitter on Dec.7，where it has received over 113，000 likes and 48，000 retweets （转发）．
Ali，who does not know ASL，told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment．
"You know it's bad when you have to learn a whole other language to express how done you are，"she said．"I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post，I decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message"．Someone on Twitter even did the good work of circling them in the painting．
Ali told HuffPost that when she finally presented the piece to her professor in her class，he absolutely loved it．
"Most of my friends in class actually knew about the secret message，so I was really surprised when no one laughed or blew my cover during critique（评论）．"She also admits that her professor still doesn't know about the message，despite her post getting so much attention．

25．Which of the following is closest in meaning to"You got me fucked up"？B
A．I was greatly astonished．
B．You really worn me out．
C．I felt much appreciated．
D．You left me impressed．
26．What was it that gave Ali the inspiration to use ASL to express her feeling？C

B．Her professor pretended not to understand．
C．Her professor is still in the dark about the message．
D．Her professor had been informed by her classmates．
28．How did Ali know about American Sign Language？C
A．She learned it in middle school．

16．I'm part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr．Jane Goodall．The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world．As Dr．Goodall says，"What you do makes a difference，and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make．"
In Bulgaria，where I live，homeless dogs are everywhere．Many people here turn a blind eye to them．But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street，looking for something to eat．That's why I'm no longer a food waster．When I see wasted food，I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins，searching for food that people have thrown there．When eating in a restaurant，I'm not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs．
A week ago，I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins．Immediately I knelt down，spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her．I could see that she had had puppies．I couldn't imagine how she could have been able to care for them．Hours earlier，I'd bagged up a plate of leftover fish．As I unwrapped it，she wagged her tail and sniffed at it．She ate all the fish in no time．
It's sad，isn't it？I can't understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it．These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious．Even when I don't have leftovers with me，I'll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them．
I know my power is small，so I hope that next time you see wasted food，do turn it into worthy food．You have the power to save a life!
