around,yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage lo collect her high school diploma on her own two feet. 

In spring of 2023,Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation(起立鼓掌) from teachers and students. 

Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $ 45 ,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device,which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet,and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed ,walk angles ,and speed.

On the big day,Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet,cheering for her,as she collected her diploma with help from her sister,Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have rooted for Ella for the past 4 years. 

Just graduating is an achievement on its own,but Ella's life-changing walk meant so much to her,and to everyone who knows and loves her. We're so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals.

Cheesy Pizza Stuffing

Yield:4 to 6 servings

Time:45 minutes, plus drying bread

Ingredients:

●1(12-to 14-ounce) loaf brioche (黄油面包), torn into bite-size pieces(about 4 cups)

●4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more softened butter

●1 large yellow onion

●Salt and black pepper and 2 tablespoons tomato sauce

●1 large egg and 1 cup whole milk

●2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (马苏里拉奶酪)

Directions:

The night before serving, spread the bread pieces on a sheet pan and let sit on the counter to dry out. Alternatively, you can bake them at 250 degrees until completely dried out and no longer soft, 20 to 30 minutes.

When ready to make the stuffing, transfer the bread to a large bowl. Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-11-inch baking dish with softened butter.

Melt the 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high and add the thinly sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork, then beat in the milk. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and toss with two spoons until evenly coated. Add I cup mozzarella and toss again until well combined. Let sit until the bread fully absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the stuffing and any accumulated liquid to the greased baking dish, spread out evenly and top with the remaining I cup mozzarella.(To make ahead, you can stop at this stage, cover the dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the cheese is melted, 15 to 25 minutes. (You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time if the stuffing has been refrigerated.)

(1) Which ingredient is unnecessary for the dish? A. Tomato. B. Milk. C. Butter. D. Salt.
(2) Which procedure correctly follows the Directions? A. The onion used should be thickly cut. B. The bread pieces should be softened before serving. C. Two cups of mozzarella should be added respectively. D. The stuffing which has been refrigerated should be baked for 24 hours.

3.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

No pains, no gains. This is especially true for Amanda Gorman. In 2021, she became the youngest poet to write and read her works at a presidential inauguration (就职典礼). The 22-year old impressed the audience with The Hill We Climb, which referred to both painful history and hope for the future.

You wouldn't know it from her delivery of her poem at the inauguration, but up until a few years ago, she struggled to overcome her speech problem. For much of her life, including when she was still an undergraduate at Harvard, Gorman had trouble pronouncing the letter "R".

Her situation presented difficulties, but also had benefits. "I think it made me all that much stronger of a writer when you have to teach yourself how to say words from zero. I think of my speech trouble not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths. "

To practice saying the letter, she'd listen on repeat to one song packed with "R"s—Aaron Burr, Sir from Lin-Manuel Miranda's historical masterpiece, Hamilton. She would try to keep up with the singer as he was doing the rap (说唱). She believed if she could train herself to do this song, then she could train herself to say the letter "R" correctly. Sure enough, rapping along with Miranda's fast-paced rhymes worked, and: Gorman's performance of her piece, The Hill We Climb, ranked among the highlights of the inauguration.

Overcoming a speech problem is a milestone for her. Gorman said she owes a lot to the Pulitzer Prize winning musical. That was why she included a few references to Hamilton in her inspiring poem, some of which the author of Hamilton noticed: He praised her performance in a post. "You were perfect. Perfectly written, perfectly delivered. "

(1) What did Gorman do to impress the audience at the inauguration? A. Share her painful story. B. Read her poem in public. C. Write a poem in real time. D. Express concern for future.
(2) Which word used to be difficult for Gorman to read properly? A. Amanda. B. Mickey. C. Hamilton. D. Miranda.
(3) Why did Gorman learn to sing Aaron Burr, Sir? A. To win wide recognition. B. To train her singing skills. C. To improve pronunciation. D. To learn fast-paced styles.
(4) What can we learn from Gorman's story? A. Learn to walk before you run. B. Practice breaks down barriers. C. Power of role models is great. D. Poem writing is key to success.
