CGoedekers loves to see happy customers, so every year we host a drawing in January and July, and one lucky person receives an iPad Mini. Goedekers customers can enter the drawing through a variety of ways, such as sending in product or customer reviews. When I contacted July's drawing winner, I couldn't believe the inspiring story behind her efforts.Sari Bailey entered the drawing in the hope of winning an iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey. Aubrey, a soon-to-be 4-year-old, was born with a rare condition called septo-optic dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsiers syndrome, happens when the optic nerves（视神经）do not develop fully in the fetal(胎儿的） state.Aubrey once had an iPad Mini, given to her by the Gia Nicole Angel Foundation, which provides an iPad Mini to the blind once a year. However, it was stolen, and her family did not know how they could replace it. The iPad was essential to Aubrey's development, as she uses it for intensive therapy( 强化治疗). Each week, Aubrey works through an hour of occupational, physical, and speech therapy.While Aubrey struggles with her sight, she loves music and plays the piano and sings fairly well for a three-year-old! As one can imagine, the iPad plays a huge role in this. She also finished her first year of school in May. Sari says, "We are very happy for her progress. We like to have as many tools for learning as possible available to Aubrey, thus, I seek for the winning of the iPad Mini! She is a very special little girl and I love her dearly."Here at Goedekers, we wish Aubrey the very best, and we hope she loves the new iPad Mini!28.

The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey,a study on the health of children in the United States conducted each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health problem that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past," Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth."The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that fluids（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.32. What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study? A.To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school. B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids C. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love. D.

From the last paragraph we learn that kids_. A. should drink plain water to lose weight B. can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water . C.can try to take in water from sugary drinks . D. should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day 35. The text mainly tells us that many kids_ A. don ' t drink enough water daily B. prefer sugary drinks to waterC. are at risk of health problemsD.don ' t like drinking water 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The way you spend your morning can add a certain flavor to the rest of your day.
