In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone's life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan's promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly（定期地）, long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he's doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan's mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I'm so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann's life. I hope he always remembers the joy he's brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann's daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan's friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan's kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann's life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire him in return.

Farmers in Italy's famous Tuscany area are struggling to save grape and olive（橄榄） crops affected by a heatwave and dry conditions. A lack of rainfall since spring has even affected plants that traditionally grow well in hot and dry weather.
In San Casciano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, olive trees line the hillsides. But farmers say the dry soil is preventing the trees from producing the usual production of fruit.
Tuscany is famous around the world for its olive oil and wine from grapes. But growers in the area say dry, hot weather has recently had a great effect on the crops and harmed production. This year's heat and lack of water happened during an important time, when the flowers were changing to fruit. Without water, many flowers fall to the ground before they can produce fruit. This year's oil production could be cut by up to 60 percent.
Olive growers have decided to change some of their farming methods. They have added extra watering systems to make up for the lack of rainfall and hot temperatures. The system works through a pipe placed under the trees to drop water little by little.
The effects of climate change have not only affected production and plants but have also created new areas in Italy where crops can be grown. A few years ago, olive farms were mainly found in hot and dry areas such as Sicily. Now, areas such as Val d'Aosta in the far north of Italy-which is famous for its snow sport holiday places and mountains-can produce their own oil.
Climate change is also affecting wine crops in Tuscany. In Chianti, for example, September is normally the month for the yearly grape harvest. But with continued high temperatures, many grapes are ripening（成熟） earlier than expected. In addition to the drop in grapes caused by the current heatwave, wine growers also have to deal with other extreme weather events. An ice storm recently destroyed 40 percent of grapes in the area.
32. Which decided such great harm of the dry weather to the crops
A. How long it lasted. B. How serious it was.
C. When it happened. D. Where it happened.
33. Which of the following is a positive effect of the dry weather
A. It increases planting areas. B. It encourages better farming methods.
C. It improves the value of crops. D. It attracts more tourists to the area.
34. What did the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Effect of early grapes on red wine. B. The harm brought by ice storm to grapes.
C. The loss of grapes due to the dry weather. D. The effects of extreme weather on grapes.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Farmers in Italy Benefit from Lack of Rainfall
B. Dry Weather Affects Italy's Famous Grape, Olive Crops
C. More Areas in Italy Are Fit for Crops due to Warming
D. New Ways Are Introduced to Fight Against Dry Weather

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In Canada, high school grades are used as the main standards for admission（准许进入） to college or university. However, a survey 56 （make） by scientists shows that nearly 75% of student success 57 （decide） by other factors（因素）. These factors are often described 58 21st-century skills.
The important things that lead to 59 （successful） finishing post secondary education at the student level are good study habits and stress 60 （manage）. While a good mix of all the factors seems to be the best factor of student success, 61 is likely that strengths in one area can make up for disadvantages（不足） in other areas.
