A newly married woman, who had spent the afternoon at his bar, couldn39。t find her wallet. She didn39。t care about her ID, credit cards, or 150 in cashbut her wedding ring was inside. Gilleece, 42, didn39。t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he determined to find the wallet. He spent hours on videos from surveillance (監(jiān)控) cameras, watching the woman39。s every step in the bar. Within minutes, a young man approached the bar, put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip (視頻片段) on the bar39。s Facebook page to find out who the young man was. Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Rivers Prather, who said he39。d done it because he hadn39。t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich. Gilleece told the teen to meet him at the docks (碼頭). There they talked a lot and Gilleece knew that Prather was from a poor family. Seeing the teenager39。s small build, Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However, because of the missing ring, Prather could be put into prison. Gilleece decided to help the kid. He hired two local divers to search the waters where the wallet had been thrown. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried. And then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. When Gilleece called the wallet39。s owner, she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.（1）What did the woman value most in her wallet? ID. credit cards. money. wedding ring.（2）What did Prather do after getting the wallet? kept the ring. spent the money in it. threw it in a dustbin. returned it to the owner.（3）Why did Gilleece help Prather? teach the child a lesson. meet the customer39。s demand. save the forgivable child. win back the reputation of his bar.（4）What would happen to Prather next? would be sent to prison. would not be accused by the woman. would get a job in Gilleece39。s bar. would live a better life ever after.【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，Jimmy Gilleece的酒吧中一位女士丟失了錢包，錢包里有她最珍視的結(jié)婚戒指。Jimmy Gilleece找到了撿到錢包的年輕人Rivers Prather，但是Rivers Prather拿了錢包里的錢將錢包丟進(jìn)了海里。Gilleece覺得Prather只是個(gè)孩子，于是決定幫助他，最終找到了戒指，Prather也被撤銷了指控。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“She didn39。t care about her ID, credit cards, or 150 in cashbut her wedding ring was inside. ”她不在乎她的身份證、信用卡或150美元現(xiàn)金——但她的結(jié)婚戒指在里面，可知那位婦女最珍視錢包里的結(jié)婚戒指。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean. ”他說他看到了戒指，但認(rèn)為是假的，所以他拿了錢，把錢包扔進(jìn)了大海，可知Prather得到錢包后，他把里面的錢花了。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Seeing the teenager39。s small build, Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal.

Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person39。s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Now, a new study by Boston39。s Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to SolidState Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wristworn device which, tracks a person39。s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement. However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight
