Minnie May, aged three, was really very sick. She lay on the kitchen sofa, feverish and restless, while her hoarse (嘶哑的) breathing could be heard all over the house. Young Mary Joe, whom Mrs Barry had asked to stay with the children during her absence, was helpless and nervous, quite unable to think what to do, or do it if she thought of it.
Anne went to work with skill and rapidity.
“Minnie May has croup (哮吼); she' s pretty bad, but I've seen worse. First, we must have lots of hot water. There isn’t more than a cup in the kettle! There, I've filled it up, and Mary Joe, 
you may put some wood in the stove. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it seems to me you
might have thought of this before if you'd any imagination. Now, I' ll undress Minnie May and 
put her to bed, and you try to find some soft and warm clothes. Diana. I' m going to give her
some ipecac first of all. "
Minnie May did not take kindly to, but Anne had not brought up three pairs of twins for
nothing. Down it went, not only once, but many times during the long, worrying night when the 
two little girls worked patiently over the suffering Minnie May, and Young Mary Joe, honestly
 did all she could, kept a fire burning and heated more water than would have been needed for a
 hospital of croupy babies.
It was three o' clock when Matthew came with the doctor, for he had been required to go all
the way to Spencervale for one. But the pressing need for assistance was past. Minnie May was

Molly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four. Doctor said that she had a rare eye disease that would slowly take away her eyesight completely. In first grade, she learned to read Braille (the language used for the blind) although she could still see. Life was pretty normal for the next few years. However ,in seventh grade, things got worse. Black turned to grey. Yellow turned to white. Soon, Molly couldn’t see the blackboard.
As her eyesight weakened, Molly began using stick to help her walk. This embarrassed her friends, and people stopped inviting her to do things. Then the bullying (欺凌)began.
Molly once broke her ankle and had to use crutches(拐杖) to help her walk. A group of girls, who used to be her friends did something terrible. They were usually responsible for walking Molly to the classroom. Instead, they took the blind 14-year-old outside and down a hill. “I was alone,” remembers Molly. “ I couldn’t see. Nor could I walk.” Luckily, Molly had her cell phone and was able to call her mother for help.
After she finished high school, Molly thought about what she wanted to do before going to college. Her brother was working in a children’s home in Africa, and she wanted to do some things that would help others, too. Then, she found out about Me to We, an organization that has been helping people through volunteering and developing leadership skills. She joined the organization on a youth trip to Kenya to help build a school. While there, she spoke at a local girls’ school. Molly now knew what she wanted to do next----to be one of the speakers at Me to We.
Molly has been speaking to schools all over the USA and Canada about Bullying. Her advice? Be strong! During a speech in Toronto, she spoke to about 20,000 people. They stood up and applauded wildly after her speech. Her father said, “Molly has a real ability to inspire people and to help others who are going through something whether it’s a disability, or bullying, or a different set of challenges.”
28. Why did Molly learn Braille in first grade?
A. She was blind. B. She was interested in it.
C. She would be blind someday. D. She wanted to help her blind friends.
29. What happened to Molly when she was fourteen?
A. She began to lose her eyesight. B. She was left at the foot of a hill.
C. She was beaten by her classmates. D. She had her first cell phone.
30. What did Molly do before going to college?

Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The
study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the
researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.
A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
32. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.
A. application. B. loss.
C. damage. D. improvement.
33. According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______________________.
A. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.
B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.
C. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.
D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.
B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.
C. The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.
D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Cell phone use and safety warnings .
B. Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems.
C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens.
D. Facts about cell phone use at school.

Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua. I am writing to bring the traffic problem near our school gate to light and give some suggestions.
With so many parents coming to pick up their children, traffic jams are becoming more and more frequent near the school gate , causing much inconvenience to us and passers-by. I strongly recommend some effective measures be taken. First, we should encourage students to ride a bicycle or walk to school by themselves. In addition, it is also a good idea to allow junior students to leave school 10 minutes earlier than others. Besides, cars should not be allowed to park near the school gate.
I do hope my suggestions can be taken into account and the problem can disappear soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
