21、Sheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.
What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.
On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.
Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.
This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”
Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”
【1】Why did Sheneman start the art project?
A．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes.
B．To raise money for all the diabetics.
C．To advertise for her hometown.
D．To get sympathy for herself.
【2】What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey?
A．The reactions and concerns of others.
B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.
C．The variation of her glucose levels.
D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.
【3】Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like Sheneman?
A．Colorful.
B．Cautious.
C．Artistic.
D．Adventurous.
【4】What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph?
A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.
B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.
C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.
D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.

Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large，scattered(分散的)audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.
First,they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.

Third,the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers，magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful，persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product，they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth,the media also entertain. All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance，even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information，it also contains entertainment features(特征)．Television，motion pictures，fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future，the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

23、 In 2005, Winston Duncan was traveling with his mother in Southern Africa when he saw an old lady and young boy walking down a road together. He thought of his own grandmother and wondered how he could help the old lady and others in Africa who have to walk a long way.
Duncan, who lived in Washington State was 10 at the time, and his solution was to give them bikes. With his mom, he started Wheels to Africa, an organization that for the past 14 years has taken bicycles donated from residents of the. Washington area and shipped them across the world to people in need.
Most of the 8000 bikes they have collected have gone to countries in Africa, helping cut down hours of walking for students and other postmen. But last week, Duncan, travelled with a handful of volunteers and 400 bikes to a destination much closer to his home yet still in need: Puerto Rico. More than a year after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, the island suffers from transportation problems.
"It was a little chaotic (混乱的) — as soon as they got their bikes, they were just having fun riding around the parking lot," said Austin Higgins, a New Jersey resident who recently joined Wheels to Africa as its photographer and videographer. "Some people who received bicycles were almost speechless, and some of them cried, because it was something they had requested for Christmas from Santa Claus," he said.
The donated bikes included some high-end racing models, which went to teenagers interested in pursuing serious cycling.
Duncan recently graduated from Bard College and is in Arlington working at a political consulting firm. He now encourages kids in the Washington area to get involved with the organization, and some have joined him on trips to Africa and on this trip to Puerto Rico.
"I wanted to try to get people to think about giving back,” he said.
【1】Why did Winston Duncan start Wheels to Africa?
A.He hoped to make his grandmother feel happy.
B.He was fond of collecting different types of bikes.
C.He wanted to help the poor people to live better.
D.He was greatly supported by his mother to do so.
【2】What can we learn about Wheels to Africa?
A.It has been managed for fourteen years.
B.It has delivered about 400 bikes to Africa.
C.It has many young kids as its members now.
D.It collects bicycles from all the areas in the U. S.
【3】What can we infer from Austin Higgin's words in Paragraph Four?
A.The delivery usually meets with some trouble.
B.The people who got bikes were excited and grateful.
C.It was very difficult for Duncan to collect enough bikes.
D.People in Africa required him to dress up as Santa Claus.
【4】What is probably the best title of the text?
A.Wheels to Africa. B.Trip to Puerto Rico.
C.Duncan, a Generous Person. D.Hurricane in Puerto Rico.
