My journey as a(n) 38 began 13 years ago. I had just graduated from Boston College and I was 39 about teaching and inspiring children from my munity. However, I quickly became40 of the challenges that often prevented children from making the most of their education. While insufficient 41such as books and technology are monly regarded as the leading factors impacting student performance42, I discovered that low selfrespect and lack of confidence are more damaging. My students’ struggles with low selfrespect43 my memory thatwhen I was young I wouldbe 44 and considered unattractivebecause I had dark skin, tightly coiled hair and high cheekbones. My students’struggles,45 with my own experience, forced me to write a song called “My Black Is Beautiful” in a(n)46 to change the way young girls of color view themselves. Since the 47 of social media, developing the selfrespect and confidence of our children has bee more 48, not less. Students are being exposed to images of beauty that do not 49 who they are, reminding them they do not fit society’s beauty standard. After years of observing many students struggling with low selfrespect and confidence, I began to integrate ways to 50 the problem in my teaching. Although it 51 me there were no standardized methodologies 52 to handle these issues, it didn’t discourage me from developing my own curriculum to motivate students to believe in themselves. So I decided to write a song, and53twelve of my students in its music video. In this way, I attempted to inspire them to embrace their natural beauty and to 54the message tothem that beauty does not always meet with a single, 55 standard. Differencesin skin colors, hair textures, shapes and sizes are not deficiencies but rather assets that make us beautiful and unique. 36. A. process B. ponent C. means D. burden 37.

HERE’S HOW TO REUSE, RECYCLE OR SELL THEM It’s natural to get the phoneupgrade thirst when the likes of Apple, Samsung and others keep ing out with newer models. But what do you do with a serviceable but outdated device? Here’s a guide for figuring out what you might do with last year’s model (or even older ones). DONATE TO CHARITY Several charities accept old phones as a donation. But these groups probably won’t physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, they’ll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management. Nearly 60 percent of the phones charities collect are resold, according to a recent survey. They will pay for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones. SELL SELL SELL Once new models e out, older ones will flood onto eBay and other resale sites. How much money you can make off your old phone depends on the brand and how much wear and tear it’s seen. The resale site Gazelle, for example, is offering $140 for a Verizonready Samsung Galaxy S7 in “good” condition. What does “good” mean? The phone has no cracks on the screen or body, powers on and makes calls, and is free of major scratches. A “perfect” phone that looks like it’s never been used will land you $15 more. REUSE, REPURPOSE Even without cellular service, your old phone will be able to get on WiFi, so you can use it to post on Facebook or do pretty much anything else you want provided you are in WiFi range. Keep it for yourself, give it to a broke friend, or load it up with kidfriendly apps and games and hand it down to your children. Or just keep it as a backup in case something horrible happens to your main phone. 56. Why do charities choose to sell a large proportion of their donations? A. Their management has made such a decision. B. They need the earnings to cover their daily expenses. C. The donations they have received exceed what they need. D. They can earn more profits without paying for shipping. 57. Which of the following is TRUE about old models? A. Old models crowd onto online resale sites before new models are launched. B. The better condition old models are in, the higher price they will fetch. C. The old models handed down to your kids should be able to get on WiFi. D. You should always have an old model at hand in case your main phone fails. B The idea of exploring the past through the human history of a single crop
