Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm. ”

That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat (别墅), where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人). My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

24. What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2?

A. He was the worst boy in the town.

B. He liked throwing rocks at people.

C. His father had a low opinion of him.

D. His stepmother praised him for his kindness.

25 . What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Stepmother’s influence on the family.   B. Friendship between mother and son.

C. Changes in the family relationship.     D. Reasons for receiving education.

26. Why did the stepmother buy the author a typewriter?

A. To congratulate on his success.        B. To encourage him to write.

C. To help him find a good job.          D. To teach him to read and write.

27. What may be the best title of the text?

A. Enthusiasm changes life             B. Success lies in education

C. A stepmother’s amazing life          D. The secret of a good writer

C

Children whose minds wander (走神) might have sharper brains, a research suggests.

A study has found that people who let their minds wander easily have more “working memory”, giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and control it cleverly.

Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks, such as following teachers’ instructions or remembering dictated sentences. During the study, volunteers were asked to perform one simple task during which researchers kept asking if their minds were wandering. In the end, volunteers measured their working memory capacity (容量) by their ability to remember a series of letters mixed with simple maths questions.

Daniel Levinson, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States, said that those with higher working memory capacity reported “more mind wandering during these simple tasks”, but their performance did not deteriorate.

The results, published online in the journal Psychological Science, appear to make sure that the former research found working memory allows humans to deal with many thoughts at the same time.

Dr Jonathan Smallwood, of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig, Germany, said, “What this study seems to suggest is that, when the tasks aren’t very difficult, people with additional working memory capacity use them effectively to think about other things besides what they’re doing.”

Working memory capacity is also connected with general measures of intelligence, such as reading comprehension and IQ scores. Dr Smallwood added, “Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life — when they are on the bus, when they are cycling to work, when they are in the shower — are probably supported by working memory.”

28. What did the researchers ask the volunteers to do during the study?

A. solve some difficult maths problems            

B. retell some dictated sentences

C. follow the teacher’s instructions               

D. carry out one simple task

29. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?

A. become worse B. become better

C. improve quickly D. improve gradually

30. According to the study, working memory ________.

A. prevents people from remembering dictated sentences

B. causes people’s minds to wander more easily

C. allows people to consider more things at the same time

D. leads to people’s worse performance during work

31. What’s the text mainly about?

A. How the working memory works in the daily life.

B. Wandering minds might have brighter brains.

C. Why people’s minds wander while working.

D. Working ability can be improved by wandering minds.

D

People will tell you the only way to really learn a language is to completely immerse(浸入)yourself in a country where that language is spoken. Not all language learners, of course, will have the opportunity to spend some time in an immersion environment. But if you can't actually fly across the world to learn a new language, you can always create an immersion environment where you can talk to native speakers.

That's where Babbel comes in. Babbel is one of the most popular language learning apps on the market for studying new languages at your own pace. The app emphasises real-life conversational skills, so you won't be stopped by grammatical structures and verb patterns.

And right now, you can get 15% off a lifetime subscription (订阅)to Babbel Language Learning（$150; stacksocial. com）. A lifetime subscription is huge when it comes to getting the most out of the app, since you'll be able to return to lessons time and time again and brush up on whichever section or topic you might need.

So how does it all work? First, you'll choose one of the 14 languages. While Babbel offers familiar languages like Spanish and Italian, it also offers less commonly studied ones like Polish, Indonesian and more. Once you pick your language, you'll choose a wide range of real-life topics. Each course takes about 10 to 15 minutes, so you can pick one up on the way to work, during your lunch break, or really at any point you have some time to kill.

Beyond this, Babbel includes a ton of additional features tailored to making sure you learn the language in a real, practical and accurate way. The app uses speech recognition technology to make sure your pronunciation is accurate compared with how native speakers would say certain words.

32．What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

A．The terrifying experiences of travelling. B．The importance of language learning environment.

C．Different ways to learn a new language. D．Opportunities to communicate with native speakers.

33．What can we know about Babbel?

A．It's a tool for learning languages. B．It is designed in various types.

C．It focuses more on grammar structures. D．It's the most popular app in the market.

34．What should the users do first to learn with the app?

A．Choose the place to learn a course. B．Pick the language they want to learn.

C．Calculate the reading time. D．Choose a proper topic.

35．Why does Babbel use speech recognition technology?

A．To represent its additional features. B．To meet the needs of native speakers.

C．To compare differences between words. D．To make the pronunciation correct.

When I was in high school, I had a dream: to appear in a television program. 1 was too shy to share my dream with my teacher, however, or anyone else- except my parents. To me, it sounded like a dream that could never come true.

People often told me I could be a nurse, a teacher, or a hairdresser, which I thought were all great careers. But that was not what I wanted. Thankfully, my parents had raised me and my siblings to have lots of confidence. Both my parents, especially my dad, often said, "You can do anything you want to. "

With his encouragement, I applied to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson University in Toronto. I was overjoyed when I was admitted. I really loved the program and worked hard---and I was named the most outstanding graduate of the year. Just by getting into Ryerson and graduating at the top of the class, I began to think that maybe my dream could come true.

After I graduated. I applied to the CBC and CTV for a job. They both said the same thing: We love your education, but you don't have any experience. Come back when you get some!" And I kept saying, " How can I get this experience? I've been busy getting an education. " They both turned me down.

Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself, I'm new and they 're new. Why not give it a try?" I didn't know anyone there, so if I was going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I found out who the president was and decided to call him directly. What could I lose? I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, "Good! That's exactly what you should do. "

Paragraph1

With excitement, I called the president of Global Television.

A week later, my big day for the stage came. _______________________________________________________________________________

One possible version:

Dear David，

I’m glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life.

Life for a freshman like me is really challenging. At the beginning of this new term, a strict but exciting seven-day military training was held. Tired as I was, it built up my body and tested my will. New life on campus provides opportunities to make some new friends, with whom views can be exchanged in depth. There are various extra-curricular activities, which can greatly enrich my school life. As for my new teachers, it seems that every teacher can make their lessons lovely and interesting. As you can see, I’m adapting to the fresh life. How about you?

Best regards!

                                                                Yours，

                                                              Li Hua

读后续写

【答案】With excitement, I called the president of Global Television. It wasn 't long before Mr. Slaight was on the phone. I had practiced what I was going to say for thousands of times. After a brief introduction, I said, "I heard that your studio is actively seeking for quality individuals for your new show. I want to be an addition to your studio. " To my delight, Mr. Slaight offered me a chance to try out for the show. At the studio, everything went beautifully and they hired me on the spot.

A week later, my big day for the stage came. I was about to get on the stage when negative thoughts flooded into my mind. ." What if the audience don't like me? Then with my father's words echoing in my mind, I replaced the negative thoughts with positive ones. "This is going to be the best show ever. You are going to just shine!" I told myself. My positive thinking worked. Soon I restored my confidence. It turned out a good show and was the beginning of my hundreds of television shows. And my success came from picking up the courage to make that phone call.

Text 10

  On a stormy night, I was alone at home. After finishing my homework, I was about to go to bed. When I turned off the light, I saw a scary shadow figure at my window. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning followed by thunderstorms. I saw a lion’s face at the window. I was so scared that I ran to my bed and hid myself under the blanket. I started to shout, “Mom, Dad...”, but there was no answer. Then I remembered they went to hospital to accompany my sick grandfather. The clock struck 12. I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. I felt too frightened because my mind was full of scary thoughts. After some time passed, I fell asleep at last. I woke up only after eight in the morning and switched on the TV news. It turned out that the lion in our local zoo escaped at 11 last night and I was excited to hear that the lion had already been trapped at 6 o’clock in the early morning by the keepers of the zoo. I felt very much relieved after the news. At breakfast, I told my parents what I had seen last night.My parents were also frightened and they promised that they would never leave me at home alone.
