• 22．Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur（創(chuàng)業(yè)者），who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.
     It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing，she was offered a candy bar.However，her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning，"Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it？" With that in mind，Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
     With her dad's permission，she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently，she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners，which can reduce oral bacteria.
     Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground.Afterwards，she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner，who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy.
     As CanCandy's success grows，so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created，and she's also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
     Meanwhile，with her parents' help，Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life，she wasn't driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination，it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
  
  （1）How did Moore react to her dad's warning？

  
  A．She argued with him.

• 23．For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue，N.Y.，today is speech day，and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes，he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
     But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld"，a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher，Thomas Whaley，is next to him，whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some stumbles，Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion，Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
     A son of immigrants，Chris started learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
     Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student，" Whaley explains，"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，'I don't know，but I want to know.'"
     Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.
     "Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，" Whaley says，"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."
  
  （1）What made Chris nervous？

  
  A．Telling a story.
  B．Making a speech.
  C．Taking a test.
  D．Answering a question.
  （2）What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．Improper pauses.
  B．Bad manners.
  C．Spelling mistakes.
  D．Silly jokes.
  （3）We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to

  .
  A．help students see their own strengths
  B．a(chǎn)ssess students' public speaking skills
  C．prepare students for their future jobs
  D．inspire students' love for politics
  （4）Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher？

  
  A．Humorous.
  B．Ambitious.
  C．Caring.
