A few years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the most difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold on my sanity. Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy. I lost all of my hair and I was bald as a golf ball. I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.

I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and take a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a senior PGA Tour event called The Tradition being played, which seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.

The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd. It was a beautiful day, and I was in heaven. I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box: Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskoph. Just as they arrived at the tee box, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway! The thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes fixed on me. Even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was right in their flight path. I wasmortified! I knew I couldn’t just stand there. Someone had to do something to get things moving again. So I took a deep breath

·1·

and went out into the middle of the fairway. I grabbed my hat and hair, nestled them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced: “Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.”

They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole. 21. From the passage, we can see that the author is _____ A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. warm-hearted D. shy 22.

Some cases have been reported in Russia lately of people who can read and detect colors with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case is concerning an eleven-year-old girl, who has normal vision but who can also become aware of things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many newspapers locked away there., and even described the way they were done up in bundles.

Her talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute and she was given a series of tests. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through a screen which was not transparent and strange still, by moving her elbow over a game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it; in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colors of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests she was blindfolded; and indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to see things with her skin, It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers

·2·

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free.

·3·

I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.

Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”

The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

28. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage? A. Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people’s health. B. Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise. C. Those who want to achieve success can’t expect to live an easy life. D. People’s attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success. 29. By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “.”

A. Failure is the mother of success． B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools. C. If you risk nothing, you will have nothing. D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. 30. Following this passage, the author will further talk about .

·4·

A. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced B. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face C. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity D. what great people have in common

31. Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage? A. Face adversity with a smile B. Different attitudes towards adversity C. Nothing is impossible

D

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for children’s math achievement, according to a new research from a university. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.

Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math

D. Life is full of adversity

achievement by the end of the school year. The app’s effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.

Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults’ attitudes about math for

children’s math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement.

The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the

link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children’s low math achievement.

“Many people experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a

majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”

Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad

·5·

installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children’s math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.

The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement

on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year’s end.

32. Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.

A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions B. assesses children’s math achievement and parents’ nervousness with math C. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems

D. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems

33. The previous study found that _____.

A. help from math-anxious parents improves children’s math achievement B. children’s math achievement is related to parents’ attitude about math C. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship D. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math

34. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. children using the app for three months can see gains in math achievement B. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students C. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children’s achievement

35. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. High-quality math interactions improve performance. B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability. C. Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship.

·6·

D. High-anxiety parents influence children’s attitude about math.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work.36 _ What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his or her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.

Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his or her time so that he or she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

A famous saying goes that: “Interest is the best teacher.” This new system is a good way to inspire students’ study enthusiasm because students have the chance to choose the lessons and the teachers

according to their own interest. Since students have to think about it carefully before they choose the lessons, this system can also improve the ability of making decisions.

On the other hand, there are, however, some disadvantages lying in this new system. For one thing, students may feel embarrassed when they talk with classmates they are not very familiar with because classrooms and classmates are all unfixed. For another thing, during breaks, students have to find the classroom where they will have the next class. Does it mean that students have less time to relax?

In all, this is totally a new idea. We might as well have a try and we will see if it is suitable for students or not.
