On Monday, April 17, 2017, a unique partnership between Saint Agatha and Phalanx Family Services began. Saint Agatha is a primary school and day care program. Phalanx Family Services is a full-service, nonprofit （非盈利的）organization offering various programming for in-need families living in Chicago.Thirteen in-school youths, between the ages of 1618, started training as young reporters in an eight-week camp organized by the two organizations. The program is designed to teach them how to bee city reporters. After pleting the program successfully, they will receive a job reporting for one of nine online news about the project.The very thought of 13 youths improving reading and writing levels and hunting for career opportunities in journalism（新闻业）is exciting! Imagine, Chicago youths report positive and inspiring stories about the happenings around Chicagos black and brown munities, which are much better than frightening stories ing from local and national medium.I admire Saint Agatha and Phalanx Family Services for training youths in a needed skill set. As I see it, technology has harmed youths reading and writing abilities. My father often says, “Youth is wasted on the young.” It sounds like the wisdom of the old. But Saint Agatha offers training and the opportunity for youths to take an active part in reporting the happenings and events they experience day to day in order to prove students dont waste youth.8. What is the main purpose of the eight-week camp?A. To improve students interest in study.B. To help students bee more independent.C. To teach youths how to bee city reporters.D. To let youths know about their local culture and customs.9. What does Saint Agatha mainly show to us?A. What our father said is right.B. Youth is not wasted by students.C. Technology harms youths reading and writing abilities.D. Technology provides the youth with more opportunities.10. The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.A. Youth is wasted on the youngB. Reporting the happenings and eventsC. YouthD. Technology11. What can be inferred from the text?A. The history of the city is mainly recorded by youths.B. Phalanx Family Services is aiming to make money.C. The author is in favor of the eight-week camp.D. The thirteen in-school youths refused the program.DIt is generally believed that humans cant live without sleep. As any person suffering from lack of sleep knows, dark circles under the eyes usually stand out after a bad nights sleep.But why do people get these dark eye bags? The answer is both genetic (that is, relating to your DNA) and environmental (a result of your everyday living, such as rubbing your eyes or getting too little sleep), said Dr. Carol Clinton, a skin-care researcher in Dublin, Ohio.But “the biggest reason is genes,” Clinton told Live Science. Eye bags are generally more noticeable in people who, because of genes, have thin or pale skin. When people are tired or very nervous, blood circulation in the eye area bees slow, allowing blood to pool there, Clinton said. Capillaries（毛细血管）stand out, leading to dark eye circles, she said.Besides, eye bags result from eyes fat moving forward. An age-connected increase in fat beneath the eyeballs leads to eye bags. “Anyway, when your eyes fat is moving forward, you may think about having an operation in that area,” Clinton said, “A person can get 9 hours of sleep a night, but still have eye bags because of a genetic development.”In other cases, environmental problems cause eye bags. For example, allergies（过敏）especially seasonal allergiescan cause capillaries to stand out. Getting too much sun can also damage and thin the skin, making dark circles under the eyes easy to see. Besides, eating salty foods can cause the body to hold more water, which makes eye bags worse, according to the Mayo Clinic.12. In Clintons opinion, what is the main cause of the formation of dark eye bags?A. Genes.B. Habits.C. Age.D. The environment.13. What can remove your eye bags according to the text?A. Getting much sun.B. Drinking plenty of water.C. Having an operation on the fat in the eye area.D. Slowing your blood circulation in the eye area.14. What can we learn from the text?A. Its possible to change genes.B. Rubbing your eyes might cause dark eye bags.C. People with thick skin dont get dark eye bags.D. You cant get dark eye bags if you get enough sleep.15. Whats the best title for the text?A. What Can You Do to Protect Your Eyes?B. The Importance of Sleep to Peoples HealthC. Several Measures to Remove Your Eye BagsD. Why Do People Get “Bags” Under Their Eyes?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As a member of the “global village”, an international leader should master various skills.
