Ten years ago, Price Hill resident Patti Hogan noticed a problem in her neighborhood. Instead of letting the problem go on, she took action. Hogan is now a board member for the program she launched a decade ago, the Price Hill Safety Community Action Team (CAT). The community program works to beautify Price Hill while also keeping kids out of trouble.
Hogan has lived in Price Hill all her life and started the Safety CAT to address a significant problem she was seeing in the community. “We had a terrible problem with young kids just standing around on the street and wrestling with each other,” Hogan said. Along with fights, Hogan says streets were filled with abandoned homes and overgrown grass. Not wanting to move away, she thought about what she could do — attack the problem head-on.
Each Saturday during the summer, the sounds of lawnmowers (割草機(jī)) fill the neighborhood. Those who are making this “music” are the neighborhood kids who are part of the Safety CAT. They come together to cut and clean up the lawns of abandoned homes.
Hogan helps teach the kids how to work a landscape, and how to earn a dollar — they bring home around $45 each week. As Hogan explains, the lesson is more than about money. “We’re keeping them busy and then they’re giving back to the neighborhood by changing some of the blight (破敗之處) and in the process, we’re teaching them values and character lessons as we go,” Hogan explains. She also hopes she is teaching them to treasure their neighborhood as much as she does.
That love has spread to the children on the program. Philip Miller, who graduated from the 10-week summer program two years ago, now comes back to help guide the other kids. “This program helps you look at work as a team and also work on your individual personal growth,” explains Miller.
Hogan says they still have spaces open for anyone interested in getting their child involved, and they are always looking for volunteers.
4. Why did Patti Hogan start the program
A. To offer old people free services.
B. To make her neighborhood a better place.
C. To raise public awareness about environmental issues.
D. To make officials aware of the problems facing Price Hill.
5. How does the program benefit the kids according to Patti Hogan

The music industry is no stranger to virtual (虛擬的) characters as pop stars. Like many of the today’s human artists, they’ve won Grammy Awards and held virtual concerts. Noonoouri, a digital character created by German designer Joerg Zuber, is the latest virtual influencer to land a record deal (唱片合約). She’s been signed to Warner Music as its first virtual artist, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with famous singers at one of the industry’s biggest record companies.
As an almost entirely virtual creation, Noonoouri is not exactly an average artist. She has been created using a combination of different technologies to virtually dance and sing. Marec Lerche from Warner Music Central Europe says Noonoouri and digital artists like her can offer companies more experimentation and flexibility. “She can appear in different places at the same time, and you can change her style in a minute,” he says. “She has more opportunities than a human artist in that respect.”
Noonoouri’s signing to Warner has raised concerns in the music industry over the rise of the technology. Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, chief executive of UK Music, says that many in the industry are excited about the opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) might bring, but figuring out the regulatory and legal (監(jiān)管和法律上的) landscape so it “can enable human creativity” is key.
Dr Shara Rambarran, who has written about virtual musicians, says that while the trend of virtual artists is unlikely to decline in the future, it’s also unlikely to replace humans topping the charts. “AI is not a new concept at all. It’s always existed in some shape or form,” she says. “But will it overtake (超過(guò)) everything in the music industry I don’t think so.”
8. What is Noonoouri’s latest achievement
A. Holding a virtual concert. B. Winning a Grammy Award.
C. Signing a record deal with a major company. D. Releasing a song partnering with famous singers.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How Noonoouri was developed and trained.
B. What advantages virtual artists like Noonoouri have.
C. What challenges human artists face in the age of AI.
D. How Noonoouri is different from other virtual artists.
10. What’s Jamie Njoku-Goodwin’s attitude towards AI in the music industry
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Enthusiastic. D. Unconcerned.
11. Which statement will Dr Shara Rambarran probably agree with
A. Virtual artists are likely to disappear.
B. The concept of AI in music is relatively new.
C. AI may control the music industry in the future.
D. Human artists will never be replaced by virtual ones.
D
Among the around 40 million adults in the U.S. who have hearing loss, most don’t use hearing aids. This means they may be missing out on more than just good hearing. Age-related hearing loss — if not dealt with — can take its toll when it comes to physical and mental health, speeding up memory loss, for example.
Dr. Janet Choi, a doctor with Keck Medicine of USC, wanted to evaluate (評(píng)估) whether getting hearing back with hearing aids may increase the chances of living longer.
Choi and her team tracked the health condition of nearly 1,900 adults who had been shown to have hearing loss during screenings. The people who were surveyed completed questionnaires (問(wèn)卷調(diào)查) about their use of hearing aids. “The group of patients who were using hearing aids regularly (定期地) had a 24 percent lower risk of mortality (死亡率) compared to the group who never use hearing aids,” Choi says. “We were surprised! We have found that not dealing with hearing loss can hurt our health. But we did not expect such a big difference in death risk.”
But the findings do not prove that hearing aids lead to longer life directly. It could be true that people who often use hearing aids are more likely to avoid loneliness and stay more active, which could explain why they live longer.
However, Choi says it’s surprising how few people with hearing loss wear hearing aids regularly — just 12 percent, according to her study. She adds another surprising finding is that the people in the study, who had hearing aids but didn’t use them regularly, were as likely to die early as those who never used them. So, if you have hearing aids sitting in the back of a drawer, not being used, Choi says, try them again.
12. What does the underlined part “take its toll” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Cause great damage. B. Make little progress.
C. Solve the difficult problem. D. Play an active role.
13. Why did Choi and her team do the research about using hearing aids
A. To prove that using hearing aids can improve memory.
B. To collect data for a research organization.
C. To find out the relationship between using hearing aids and a longer life.
D. To find out ways to get out of loneliness.
14. What did Choi find surprising about the people with hearing loss
A. Many are young people. B. Many suffer from loneliness.
C. Many seldom use hearing aids. D. Many have memory problems.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. People who don’t use hearing aids are healthier.
B. Hearing aids are the only reason why people live longer.
C. People who use hearing aids are more likely to be alone.
D. Using hearing aids might have positive effects on people’s health.
