In 2009, Dan Black was hit by a car in his hometown of Chepstow, Wales, as he was biking to his job at a grocery store. _41_ During his recovery, he suffered a stroke that rendered his right arm useless. Once a promising guitarist, Dan, now 25, lives with his parents and requires around-the-clock care that costs nearly $300,000 a year.

After the accident, a friend of his started the Help Dan Black Fund to cover some of Dan\’s medical expenses. Dan learned about an experimental stem cell treatment in China that could enable him to walk again. _42_

One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan\’s mother, Michaela, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a five-year-old boy named Brecon Vaughan. _43_ The boy’s family had created a website with which to raise nearly $100,000 needed for a trip to the St. Louis Children\’s Hospital, where treatment was offered that could help Brecon walk. Only half the amount had been raised, said the report.

Dan deliberated. Then, after considering that his own dream of walking could be years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon’s cause. “_44_ Brecon doesn’t. He needs it much more than I do.” Dan told a newspaper.

Dan’s generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions started pouring in to the Vaughan website. _45_ They’ve promised to give the excess funds, about $17,000, to the Tree of Hope charity, which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help. In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St. Louis to begin treatment.

“What Dan did is great.” Brecon;s mother said “It is an extraordinary gift.”

The authors surveyed 701 adults to measure the long term _49_ of material parenting. They were asked to describe their current life situation and values, and also reported on a _50_ of childhood circumstances, their relationship with their parents, and the rewards and punishments they received.

Results showed adults who had received more material rewards and punishments as children were more likely than others to use possessions to define who they are. And they were likely to continue rewarding themselves with material _51_.

Parents should, therefore, be cautious about using material possessions to express their love and reward their children for good behavior, _52_ the authors.

Directions:

Read the text below. Write an essay about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words.

It seems the nation’s younger citizens are finally favoring the beauty of the natural world over the cries of amateur singers.

The BBC has confirmed that the first three episodes of Planet earth Ⅱ have attracted more viewers in the 16 to 34 age group than The X Factor. The best ratings so far were for the second episode, which brought in 1.8 million young viewers compared to The X Factor’s 1.4 million.

The show’s narrator, Sir David Attenborough credited improvements in technology with the show’s increased success in its second season, which have brought animals close to the viewer and made their environments look real.

“You feel like the camera is with the animals.” said producer Mike Gunton. “It\’s very active. For example, you see a monkey leaping through the forest. Normally you\’ll stand back to film that. But here the monkey almost jumps over your shoulder. The camera is running with it. Visually, Planet Earth told you to look down on the Earth and see the scale of the planet. What Planet earth Ⅱ is doing is saying “Let’s get ourselves into the lives of the animals, and see it from their perspective.”

“The music of Hans Zimmer is also a big factor,” added Attenborough. “That pleases me enormously.”

Besides technology and music, Attenborough said that viewers are “reconnecting with a planet whose beauty is spoiled and whose health is falling.” He believes that young people are learning that their future is linked to that of the environment.
