When Ruby was born, her mom, Liz, was inspired to do something that would help other people born with Down syndrome see their full potential. So, when Ruby was 6 months old, Liz made a goal to create a $ 2,000 scholarship to help someone with Down, syndrome go to college. That year, the family ended up giving out 11 scholarships and soon created a nonprofit organization called Ruby's Rainbow. Over the course of Ruby's 10 years, they've granted $ 1.2 million in scholarships to people with Down syndrome. "It's not only about the scholarships, but it's also about the awareness of just how capable people with Down syndrome are," the mom said. Ruby's Rainbow is currently accepting applications from people with Down syndrome of all ages to build their confidence in their abilities. Liz and a scholarship committee review each application, but her dream is to be able to accept everyone who applies. The organization raises all of its scholarship money through fundraising. One of their biggest fundraisers is the 3-2-1 Pledge, which encourages donors to give $ 21 for World Down syndrome Day, March 21. Liz says her favorite part about running the organization is meeting scholarship recipients and parents just like her. "One of my favorite emails was from Julia, a new mom who was crying with tears of fear and sadness when she found out that her son had suffered from Down syndrome," she said, "then the new mom found our website, and she saw all of these amazing, beautiful, capable fades, and people who were out there with Down syndrome living their lives. And eventually, she was crying with tears of joy and happiness for the future." Liz Nays Ruby now has to work harder at things, but Ruby does it with joy in her heart, and her potential has no bounds. Ruby says she plans to go to college to become a doctor. "You can be anything you want to be, my love," Liz says to her daughter. 24. What led Liz to create Ruby's Rainbow? A. Julia's advice. B. Her kid's disease. C. A scholarship committee's wish. D. A nonprofit organization's request. 25. What does Liz help people with Down syndrome do? A. Set up their own schools. B. Believe in their abilities. C. Realize their disadvantages. D. Cure them of their illnesses. 26. Which of the following can best describe Ruby? A. Selfish and lonely. B. Friendly and honest. C. Sensitive and sad. D. Happy and ambitious. 27. What can be inferred from the text? A. World Down Syndrome Day is on April 21. B. Ruby's Rainbow is a profit-making organization. C. Liz seldom meets those scholarship recipients in person. D. Liz gives hopes to parents of children with Down syndrome. C Have you ever seen an "ugly" oyster(牡砺)? That is the term oyster farmers use for the sea animals when their shells are too large to sell to seafood restaurants. Each year, farmers keep oysters in right size so people at restaurants will enjoy eating than. If they get too big, restaurants no longer want to buy them. So last year, when many seafood restaurants in the US closed due to COVID-19, oyster farmers lost the chance to sell their product. Suddenly, they had a lot of "ugly" oysters and it was difficult to deal with them. That was a big problem until a conservation program came to the rescue. The program is called Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration, or SCAR. It is buying more than 5 million oysters at the cost of about 2 million dollars from farmers on the cast coast of the US and in Washington State. Living oysters that are too big to sell are sent back to water areas like the Great Bay in the northeastern state of New Hampshire. They are placed in the water in special locations called reefs. Once they attach to the structures in the water, they can live for a number of years. They help create a good environment for other sea life. The hope is that the oysters will help clean the sea water and also have babies. Lisa Calvo runs Sweet Amalia Oyster Farm in southern New Jersey. She said the program made her business get through the difficult time and "stay afloat". Calvo started her farm about 20 years ago. She sells her oysters to restaurants close to Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, and those in the towns along the ocean in New Jersey. Oysters are ready to sell when they are about two years old. She said, "When all th
