A
The following travel tips can help you get through an airport in the U.S. with minimal trouble. Plan Ahead
Minimize your wait by scheduling your departure to avoid rush hours such as weekend mornings. Some airports have more than one access point for security; do a quick Internet search or ask an airline agent for the fastest line. If you often travel outside the country, the $50 fee for a five-year NEXUS card could save you as much as 90 minutes in a busy customs queue.
Pack Smart
Avoid an unwanted search - or having to throw away your beloved face cream - by packing properly. Bottles or containers of liquids (100-millilitre format max) belong in a clear resealable bag (no more than one litre), and only one per person. The exceptions are baby food and milk.
Suffer the Search
Since 2010, Canadian airports have used full-body scanners that show what’s under clothing. If you’re selected for such a scan, you can choose a manual pat down instead. Someone of your gender (性别) will do the search, and you can request a private room with a witness.
Share Your Gadgets
If an agent asks for your phone or computer password, do you have to give it to them? It’s a hot-button legal question, but the short answer, for now, is yes. You could be criminally charged for refusing.
Say Just Enough
Unlike the police, who need “reasonable grounds,” customs agents can ask you anything. To co-operate, aim for clear, direct and polite answers.

When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.” She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit’s cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don’t need coats; we need jobs,” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.
After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.
“We don’t require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on to jobs in the auto industry and construction.
Veronika has bettered the coat’s design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats

than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”
24. What was Veronika’s second inspiration?
A. Improving her coat’s design.
B. Founding a nonprofit organization.
C. Profiting from the work of those low-paid people. D. Producing more coats and distributing them abroad. 25. What is the purpose of the Empowerment Plan?
A. To raise more donations. B. To design better clothes. C. To provide help for the homeless. D. To offer free classes to the motivated. 26. Which of the following best describes Veronika?
A. Creative and caring.
B. Greedy and unsatisfied. C. Generous but childish. D. Traditional but helpful.
27. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Veronika Scott.
B. The Empowerment Plan. C. Design to Fill a Need.
D. Look for Motivated People.

Seventh-grader Jonah Maxwell has become a local famous person after an anti-bullying (反霸凌) video he made became popular online.
He wrote and directed a six-minute 30-second film with friends from school. Their faces cannot be seen in order to take back power from bullies (霸凌者) offending others on social media. “If it’s happened to you, you have to tell someone. If you are doing it, just think about this: It’s just as easy to be nice as it is to be mean and manners and respect cost nothing,” he said in the video.
This social media has given bullying a new life far beyond fights in the school lunchroom or hallways. “It’s

mainly happening through social media but there is physical and social bullying. I have seen people getting ‘booked’ in hallways – somebody gets bumped and the books fall all over the floor. The victim gets embarrassed.”
Jonah has been interested in making videos since he was even younger. The first video he ever made was filmed with a Crayola camera when he was 6 years old. His dad is a filmmaker and he helped him with the final editing for his anti-bullying video.
The youngster said he wants people to “speak up” and tell someone if they are being bullied. “Tell someone - it’s too hard to go through something like this alone,” he said.
“The bullying sometimes never stops if there is social media involved - you don’t leave it behind you at the school gates. It’s scary for me to think what kids go through but what is worse is that the kids don’t feel they should or can tell. Jonah’s message clearly states it doesn’t have to be this way,” said Jonah’s mother Jenny Maxwell.
Maxwell said teachers in the United States and abroad, including Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Australia, have been showing the video in school. “If it changes one person’s life it will have made a difference in our lives,” she said.
28. What can we learn from Jonah’s anti-bullying video?
A. His friends are shown faceless to protect their privacy. B. He thinks being kind and respectful requires little effort. C. Bullies are afraid to show their faces on social media. D. People are asked to report the bullies around them. 29. What does the fact that people get “booked” in hallways show?
A. Bullying is everywhere.
B. Bullying mainly exists on social media. C. Physical bullying happens.
D. Bullying in whatever form hurts the victim deeply. 30. What is true about Jonah Maxwell from the article?
A. He has become famous nationwide for his anti-bullying video. B. He made an anti-bullying video with the help of his mother. C. He has been interested in photography since he was 6 years old.
D. He believes sharing an experience of being bullied helps people deal with it. 31. What can we conclude from Jonah’s mother’s words?
