In need of some encouragement？Students at West Side Union Grade School in California are providing just that in recorded messages on a free telephone hotline.
   Peptoc is an art project created by teachers Asherah Weiss and Jessica Martin of this school.Peptoc is how Martin's son，a first-grader at the school，spelled "pep talk"，which refers to a speech attempting to input enthusiasm and determination in a team.
   The project consists of student-made motivational flyers （海報(bào)），and a hotline with pre-recorded pep talks and life advice from kids aged 5-12.
   Dial 707-998-8410 and you will be greeted with the following message： "If you're feeling mad，depressed or nervous，press one.If you need words of encouragement and life advice，press two.If you need a pep talk from kindergarteners，press three.If you need to hear kids laughing with delight，press four."
   Since its launch last month，the hotline has been receiving up to 9，000 calls per hour.Martin said she had signed up for the cheapest hotline provider she could find，thinking the kids would be excited to hear 100 people had called in a month. "And then two days later，we're getting 500 an hour，and now we're getting 9，000 an hour."
   Patients at Johns Hopkins Medical Center had been regularly calling the hotline.Rima Meechan，the school's principal，heard from a woman with cancer who called during her treatment.Weiss said she had seen the school's office manager in tears on the phone with the administrator of an elder care facility，where most patients are over 90 years old.The administrator was calling to thank all of the kids，because he played it for everyone who was part of that facility，and he said， "I haven't heard laughter like that from them in years."
   Weiss and Martin said it's more than just the messages. "Adults support children，but we don't really celebrate how much they support us，" Martin said， "And to be able to be consoled by them gives us great hope that maybe we're all going to be okay."

1．Growing more food to feed the world will require more people to work in agriculture.According to the National FFA Organization，we need to produce as much food as possible in the next 40 years because of the growth in population.
   Indiana remains pivotal to meeting this need.Indiana is one of the nation's most productive states in producing tomatoes，corn，soybeans，ducks，chickens and eggs.At snack time，Indiana ranks second in growing popcorn and making ice cream.
   The Indiana Business Research Center reports that agriculture contributes at least ＄25 billion to the state's economy，which creates more career opportunities for young people. "There are more than 300 careers in
agriculture，" said Joshua Bledsoe，the FFA advisor. "It starts with the farm in agricultural production，but then all the way to the plate there are tons of career opportunities once the product has left the farm.Therefore，we need folks who will understand processing and food science.We also need people in marketing and communications as well as folks in law."
   Including skills in computer technology，Beck's Hybrids is the nation's largest family-owned seed company.Bruce Kettler，the former director of public relations for the company，explained that technology is important to the company's development.For example，computer technology on tractors（拖拉機(jī)）allows farmers to follow the exact same pathway across the farm field throughout the season，from planting to harvesting and all steps in between.
   Indiana is enjoying a harvest season，and even larger harvests will be needed to satisfy the world's increasing need for food.The amount of land used for farming has decreased by at least 25 percent since 1950.Therefore，growing more food will require more technology and more people.As Bledsoe put it，"You are going into the global workforce when you go into agriculture，and the opportunities are endless."

（1）What does the underlined word "pivotal" mean？

A．Doubtful.
B．Vital.

2．We all love chocolate，and most of us probably eat it every day，or at least several times a week.It is one of the most favourite kinds of food in the world，and many would say that they could not live without it.However，there are many facts about the world of chocolate that most people do not know.
Have you ever wondered where your chocolate comes from？Most of it comes from the labor of children.It is said that in Africa alone，there are about 70 million children working on chocolate farms.They lead a very hard life，and many live only on bananas and corn paste（糨糊）.One child who was interviewed said that he was tricked into believing he would be earning money to help his family.But the truth is that he is treated like an animal.The child has never even had the chance to taste the chocolate he spends his life producing.
The history of chocolate pretty much begins with the Mayans（瑪雅人）.Cacao（可可）beans were so valuable to Mayans that they were used as money.It is said that ten beans could buy a rabbit，and one hundred beans were enough to buy a slave（奴隸）.People would buy everything from food to tools with the beans.Generally，only the richer people drank chocolate regularly，because drinking your money is expensive.

3．The U.S.is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation（革新），but American universities-where new ideas often spread-have reason to look over their shoulders.
   That's especially true for technologies like 5 G phone networks and artificial intelligence and they're exactly the fields where the U.S.has to lead-and also the ones where Asia，especially China，is catching up.Universities from China get more patents than their U.S.peers in wireless communications，according to research firm GreyB Services.In AI，17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China，with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list，says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.
   There's a special place for universities in the development of science.Universities educate future scientists and can be incubators（孵化器）for pie-in-the-sky ideas-some of which turn out to be game-changers.The list ranges from search engines to DNA technology that's behind a whole industry of gene-manipulating（基因編輯）treatments.
   However，government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade，meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy，leading to the cost increase for universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts into their scientific research.
   "If you look at the federal dollars，they've not really changed considerably，" says Stephen Susalka，head of AUTM，a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities."Other countries are catching up.We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved."

（1）What does the underlined phrase "look over their shoulders" in Paragraph 1 mean？

A．Watch out.
B．Take off.
C．Stand up.
D．Hide away.
（2）The author mentions 5 G phone networks in Paragraph 2 to show

.
A．Chinese universities have obtained more patents than other countries
B．the Chinese government provides aids to Chinese universities
C．wireless communications are changed dramatically these years
D．U.S.universities may lose their lead in some high-tech fields
（3）What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？

A．Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.
B．Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.
C．Universities play an important role in science development.
D．Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.
（4）What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S.universities？

A．Worried.
B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.
