Between 1916 and 1917, she showed astonishing skill, leading the Cornwall Victorias to glory after glory.

Waiting for the bus every morning and going to school has never been better for Ryder Killam, a 5-year-old boy in a wheelchair from Westerly, Rhode Island who was born with disability (残疾) .He no longer has to wait for the school bus in the open air thanks to Westerly High School students.
The goal of the boy’s father, Tim Killam, was to keep his little kid protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, and getting some kind of shelter (避雨处) was actually his idea. He asked for an unused bus shelter on Facebook. After not being able to find a suitable one, he decided to contact the high school which had already finished several building projects.
The students from Westerly High School construction (建造) class, among whom is one of Ryder’s brothers, quickly put their hands to work. The bus stop was designed by pupil Mason Heald, who was in regular contact with the Killams for feedback.
The construction class, led by Dan McKenna, teaches its members building skills and is part of the high school’s Career and Technical Education programme.
“This was a design to final products and delivery (传送；递送) .It’s the best we could have asked for. It’s really what these programmes should be about," said Michael Hobin, Westerly High School’s principal (校长) .
More people from the local community chipped in to help make the project happen. One of McKenna’s former students transported(运输）the shelter from the high school to the Killams’ address with his truck. And another neighbour helped to properly position the shelter by the bus stop.
Not only did Ryder’s daily life improve, but the students also learnt an unforgettable life lesson. They saw that with their skills and knowledge they can make a real difference in someone else’s life.
24. Why did Tim Killam turn to a high school for help?
A. Few people helped him. B. The school was close to him.
C. He couldn’t find a right shelter. D. His son put forward the suggestion.

Obesity (肥胖) has become a serious problem now. According to a recent survey, teenage obesity has increased at an alarming rate across America. Teenage obesity is mainly due to the increased consumption(消耗）of junk food which contains large amounts of fat. This has exposed the teens to a 14% greater risk of having a heart attack as well as seriously high blood pressure.
Various causes of teen obesity have been claimed, the most important of which is being insufficient (不足) physical exercise on the teen’s part. It is argued that teens nowadays who lack (缺少) sufficient physical exercise topped with their unhealthy eating habits are more likely to be obese. Nowadays, a main part of the teenagers spend their spare time on the computer, television or perhaps simply playing games. This greatly limits any kind of physical activity of the teenager. According to a recent survey, around 43% of teenagers spend more than 2 hours watching television every single day.
Long time inactivity in addition to the ill eating habits has increased the incidence(发生率）of obesity in teenagers even more, However, this does not mean that teens do not do enough exercise, but the amount which they do, is certainly not sufficient as compared to their intake of fatty foods. Besides this, parents need to change the whole lifestyle of the family in order to develop a healthier lifestyle of their children.
The teenagers must also be encouraged to take part in other physical activities which require more effort; such as, playing basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball and swimming. Meanwhile, the teenagers also need to be educated on the ill effects of junk food and must be asked to avoid them as much as possible. Their diet must also be made healthier and more balanced, which will help them in losing more weight quickly, For better guidance on reducing the teen’s weight quickly, parents can always turn to a doctor.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Junk food is the main food for the American.
B. American teenagers suffer from high blood pressure.
C. The number of fatty American teenagers is increasing.
D. Most American teenagers probably have heart disease.
29. What’s the most important reason for obesity among teenagers?
A. Bad eating habits. B. Playing computer games.
C. Lack of physical exercise. D. Watching TV programmes.
30. Why do teens taking part in exercise still get obese?
A. The exercise they choose is too simple.
B. The method they do exercise is improper.
C. The energy they consume is less than that they take in.
D. The time they spend doing sports is more than that spent on food.
31. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Rules made for teens. B. Reasons for teen obesity.
C. Suggestions offered to parents. D. Ways to deal with teen obesity.
D
Diners in Japan could soon be able to taste the flavour of a bowl of soup without having to worry about their salt intake.
In what they claim is a world first, researchers have developed chopsticks that artificially create the taste of salt, as part of efforts to reduce sodium (钠) levels in some of the country’s most popular dishes.
The chopsticks work by using electrical stimulation (刺激) and a mini-computer worn on the eater’s wristband. The device (设备) transmits sodium ions (离子) from food, through the chopsticks, to the mouth where they create a sense of saltiness, according to Homei Miyashita, a professor at Meiji University in Tokyo, whose laboratory developed the device. The team said they hoped to make the chopsticks available to consumers (消费者) next year. Miyashita said, “Our device could find large consumers in Japan, where the traditional diet tends to be high in salt due to the use of ingredients such as soy sauce (酱油).”
The average Japanese adult consumes about 10 grams of salt a day, double the amount recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The health ministry has proposed reducing daily salt intake to a maximum of 7.5 grams for men and 6.5 grams for women.
The chopsticks use “very weak electricity-not enough to affect the human body-to adjust the function of ions to change the perception of taste by making food seem to taste stronger or weaker", Kirin said in a statement. Miyashita and Kirin said clinical tests on people who follow a low-sodium diet had confirmed that the device increases the salty taste of low-sodium food by about 1.5 times. They said participants given reduced-salt soup had commented on the improved "richness, sweetness and overall tastiness" of the dish.
High salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure, which is the single biggest cause of heart attacks and strokes. “To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. "If we try to avoid taking more salt in a conventional way, we would need to bear the pain of cutting our favourite food from our diet, or bear eating tasteless food."
32. What can we know about the chopsticks?
A. They are difficult to use.
B. They are already on the market now.
C. They will affect the human body seriously.
D. They are different from traditional chopsticks.
33. What did Miyashita think of the future market of their device?
A. Promising. B. Hopeless. C. Worrying. D. Unpredictable.
34. What’s the daily amount of salt recommended by WHO every adult?
A. About 10 grams. B. About 7.5 grams. C. About 6.5 grams. D. About 5 grams.
35. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Traditional Japanese Diet Is High in Salt
B. High Salt Intake Can Result in Many Diseases
C. Japanese People Keep Fit by Using a New Device
D. "Electric" Chopsticks Can Make Food Seem More Salty

One sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people’s lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words, "I missed you so much. It’s so good to see you, son!" The boy smiled and said, "Me too, dad."
Then the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old). “Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!" and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, "Hi, baby girl” to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, "I’ve saved the best for last." He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded (使想起) me of newlyweds (新婚夫妇).

第一节
One possible version:
The First Day at School
My first day at Hongxing Senior High School was such an impressive memory to me.
My new school is much larger than my junior high school, with three tall teaching buildings on the right of the campus. There is a big screen on the blackboard and a computer in each classroom, which is very fantastic. The headteacher is strict but great. My classmates are all friendly and helpful.
I felt nervous at first when I sat in the big classroom. But soon I was relaxed after our teacher asked us to introduce ourselves to each other. I like my new school very much and I believe I can make great progress here.
第二节
One possible version:
Suddenly, I heard myself asking, “Wow, how long have you been married?" Curious about the family, I asked directly. Hearing my less impolite question, the man answered kindly, “We have been together for fourteen years, and married twelve years.” “Well then, how long have you been away?” I seemed to feel more curious. He replied with joyous smile on his face, "Two whole days! I feel as if I left for a whole year. I missed them so much."
I was shocked, as I imagined that he had been gone for several weeks at least. It’s so amazing that the man and his wife have kept the deepest love to each other and passed the love to their children, which is the strongest weapon to any difficulty. The way the man treated his family was very rare around me. I could only say, “I hope that my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years." The man looked straight into my eyes and told me something that changed my life, "Don’t hope, my friend, decide!"
