The Verizon App Challenge can get you started. The first step is to think of a problem in your community. The next step is to create an app that can solve the problem.‎ Groups of five to seven students in middle school or high school, led by a teacher, can enter the contest.

Next, the judges pick national winners. The top eight teams receive an additional $15,000 for their schools, and each team member receives a Samsung tablet. Plus, the winning teams get the chance to bring their app to life.‎ A group of six girls from Los Frenos, Texas won the second annual Verizon App Challenge.

In total he had covered 1,100 miles. His 43 marathons were in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world. So far Izzard has raised more than £200,000. ‎ Fighting blisters (水疱) that have caused the nails on his smaller toes to fall off, he ran up The Mall ‎ and into Trafalgar Square, where he had started 7.5 weeks ago. In finishing he proved what many thought was an impossible task: that a 47-year-old comedian with no sporting experience could do something a top athlete might find difficult. ‎ After only six weeks’ training he started out on a journey that would take him to every corner of the British Isles. “The first three weeks were the hardest,” he said. The non-stop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night and he would wake exhausted with “blisters on top of blisters”. ‎ But the people he met along the way cheered him up. “People stopped their cars and cheered, they gave me money and food.” More than 500,000 people “followed” the comedian, in a different sense, on Twitter. Simon Blease, 51, a sports doctor and mountain runner who has been following his progress, was waiting on Tower Bridge. “I didn’t think he could do it,” he said. “Like a lot of people, I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down. Someone with so little training. I find it extraordinary that he has done it.” ‎ Asked what he had gained, Izzard said “I know now I can do that. Sport is one of those words that stopped being part of my life when I was about 14. Sporting success was not something I ever associated myself with.” He now plans to continue jogging and hopes to inspire others into sport.‎ ‎24. Which of the following statements is true about Eddie Izzard？‎ A. He took part in 43 marathon competitions in 52 days. ‎ B. He was sponsored (赞助) by Sports Relief in the running ‎ C. He ran 1,100 miles for the purpose of helping the poor. ‎ D. He took the challenge to prove he could be a top athlete. ‎ ‎25. What difficulty did Eddie Izzard meet with during the running? ‎ A. Injury in his ankles. ‎ B. Sleeplessness at night. ‎ C. Pressure to win. ‎ D. Inadequate time. ‎ ‎26. What does Simon Blease imply？‎ A. He used to think Eddie would give up halfway. ‎ B. Training may not be necessary for marathon runners. ‎ C. Eddie was a good model for others to follow. ‎ D. He owed Eddie’s success to his strong body. ‎ ‎27. According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT describe Eddie Izzard? ‎ A. Inspiring B. Persevering C. Creative D. Loving.‎ C A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off（打瞌睡）—if it is milked from a cow at night.‎ Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.‎ Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.‎ While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.‎ Previous studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.‎ ‎28.

Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?‎ A. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.‎ B. It can make people more energetic.‎ C. It exists in milk in great amount.‎ D.

How does the author support the theme of the text?‎ A. By giving examples. ‎ B. By stating arguments.‎ C. By explaining statistical data. ‎ D. By providing research results.‎ D Google’s parent company Alphabet has asked its North American staff to work from home to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus(冠状病毒).‎ Last week the tech giant sent a memo(内部通知) to staff recommending that employees in Washington state work from home. It has now expanded that request to all of its almost 100,000 workers across 11 office in the US and Canada. ‎ Alphabet is the latest company to make such an announcement as US coronavirus cases have risen to almost 1,000. “Out of an abundance of caution, and for the protection of Alphabet and the broader community, we now recommend you work from home if your role allows,” Chris Rackow, Google’s vice president of global security, wrote in an email to workers.‎ Alphabet said its offices in North America will remain open for those whose jobs require them to come in.‎ Last week, Google, along with many of the world’s other major tech companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook, began recommending that staff in Seattle should work from home as the coronavirus spreads in Washington state.‎ The state had more than 160 cases as of Monday night. California and New York, where Alphabet has large offices, are also experiencing increases in the number of cases. ‎ In other moves to fight coronavirus, Google has:‎ temporarily banned ads for medical face masks established a Covid-19 fund, so temporary staff and vendors(摊贩) can take paid sick leave if they have symptoms of the virus teamed up with the UK’s NHS to help prevent the spread of misinformation about the outbreak, by promoting correct health and travel advice when people search for coronavirus treatments or ‎ symptoms ‎32.
