A terrible accident happened, and the child was rushed to the hospital. After the boy woke up from a difficult surgery, he asked his daddy what had happened; the daddy answered, “Your arms were broken, so the doctor had to take them off.” The little boy then asked, “How will I be able to study? To write? To eat?” The father didn’t answer; he couldn’t say a word. His heart was broken. It seemed there was no hope for the boy, but his family never imagined what the young boy would find to change his life. As a young boy, he was out near a pond one day and noticed a duck. He thought to himself, “That duck can swim, can’t he? And he has only two legs. So why can’t I swim, since I have two legs as well?” That thought completely changed his outlook. He began to try swimming over and over. It took many tries many times over, but He Junquan did not give up. His swimming career began in 1995, when a local disabled persons’ federation recommended that he enter a swimming trial in Hubei province. Just a year later, the 18-year-old young man entered national disabled persons’ games and won two silver medals. From then on, it seemed nothing could stop him. In 2000, he headed to Sydney, where he collected three medals: gold, silver and bronze. In 2004, he took home four gold medals from the Athens Paralympics. In 2008, He had the great honour of competing in his home country, winning a gold, two silver and a bronze. Success has not been easy for He Junquan, however. To compete with other disabled athletes who still have arms, He Junquan has to swim fast enough to stay a full arm’s length in front of the other swimmers. Why? At the end of the race, he has to hit the final wall with his head, rather than with his arms, as other athletes do. “The pain in my head lasts for about two weeks after each competition because of the force of my head hitting the touch pad,” He Junquan told a China Daily reporter. That does not wet his spirits, however. “An accident at an early age deprived me of my arms, but my Paralympic dream gave me a pair of wings, which encouraged me to conquer all difficulties.” 21. What gave He Junquan the idea that he could swim? A. His father’s encouragement. B. The loss of his two arms. C. A swimming duck. D. His Paralympic dream. 22. According to the passage, how many gold medals did Junquan win? A. 6 B. 9 C. 10 D. 13 23. What did Junquan say was the main inspiration for his success? A. An accident at an early age. B. The duck he saw as a child. C. His Paralympic dream. D. His father’s encouragement. 24. What does the underlined phrase “wet his spirits” in the last paragraph mean? A. Cover his head with water. B. Make him lose heart. C. Keep his spirits up. D. Change his mind. B Howie Choset thinks snakes are great — not snakes, really, but their ways of moving. Howie Choset, 37 years old, is a professor at Carnegie Mellow University, where he has been years in developing robots that imitate snake-like movements. Why? He sees a future for these snake-like robots in the work of saving lives. These robots are built from very light materials and can carry cameras and other electronic sensors. Small electric motors, such as those used in model airplanes, help them move smoothly. Their size is similar to or smaller than a human arm. Choset’s hope is for these robots to be used in search and rescue operations after natural disasters or other emergencies. They must be controlled by a human operator using a joystick, like with a video game. The robots have the ability to know which direction is upwards, but much of their usefulness would depend on humans controlling them. Even then, these robots would be better than the current methods and equipment, most of which are just cameras on long poles. Sam Stover is the manager of a search team with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He is of the opinion that robots like these have been needed for a long time. Dogs are used effectively in search and rescue, but they are limited to places that humans can go. These robots would allow search teams to do something they’ve not been able to do before. “We needed them yesterday,” said Stover. 25. What gave Howie Choset the idea to design the robot? A. Snakes’ senses. B. Snakes’ eyes. C. Snakes’ appearance. D. Snakes’ movements. 26. What can be inferred from the passage about the robots? A. Snakes do not seem unpleasant or even threatening. B. Snake-like robots can climb pipes. C. Snake-like robots can work independently. D. Snake-like robots can move in a very smooth, flexible way. 27. Which one is true according to the passage? A. A snake-like robot has been developed. B. The snake-like robot can do something that no other robots can do. C. The snake-like robot can move injured people out of disaster areas. D. The snake-like robot is a cool toy. 28. Where can you most possibly find this passage? A. In a novel book. B. In a guide book for tourists. C. In a fashion magazine. D. In a science book. C "No fair!" is a common cry among children. Someone may have cheated at a game. By the time we reach adulthood, we will have all learned one thing: Life isn’t easy for most of us either. Those who succeed are those who accept the two facts and find a way around them. One of the tools for success is education. It’s frustrating(沮丧的) to fail to find a good job. It’s very hard to get a well-paid job without learning about it first. This doesn’t always mean a college degree, though it can often help. Vocational(职业的) schools are just useful as well. It isn’t easy, but it will prepare you for success. Once you’ve reached success, you still have to work and it’s often harder. I made a comment recently about the irony of needing to work on Labor Day. The reply “Those articles won’t write themselves.” I believe the reply was mostly sarcastic(讽刺的), but it’s still true. If I want to be a successful writer, I have to find the topics, research them and then sit down writing them. Writer’s job isn’t easy, but If I want to succeed I cannot give it up. What should you do if your education and work haven’t helped you realize your dream? Having a dream and keeping it in front of you aren’t easy. Dreams have to be fed by working hard. If you want to move to a different area, you can feed your dream by getting information about that area. What’s the climate like? Do you want to buy a home or rent one? These answers offer fuel to keep you going. Life isn’t easy. It is often unfair. That doesn’t mean we should lie down and complain about it. Do the hard work and ignore the unfair aspects or, if you can, change them, or, get out there and do something new. 29. According to the author those who succeed ______________. A. think life is fair or they are very lucky B. think life is easy and their future is bright C. get the best education and the highest degree D. find a way to deal with difficult and unfair life 30. People will feel frustrated because __________________. A. most people have no college degree B. it’s hard to find a good job C. the cost of education is extremely high D. people don’t pay attention to education 31. The reply “Those articles won’t write themselves.” shows that __________. A. working hard is necessary B. becoming a writer isn’t easy C. sarcastic words don’t work D. one should do his own work 32. We can learn from this passage that ______. A. getting a well-paid job always needs a college degree B. the author thinks vocational schools are likely to be useful C. the author is probably a successful and well-known writer D. realizing a dream and keeping it in front of you are easy D Why not join us and help somebody else? Some people come to large cities for work and find life difficult. It is our job to help them with advice and comfort at any time of the day or night. Now here’s where you come in. We need volunteers to help depressed people by listening to their troubles and helping them over the telephone. No previous experience is necessary and no professional training is required. Instead volunteers need to be:  over 21 years of age  good listeners  anonymous(匿名)and prepared not to claim recognition for being a Samaritan  prepared not to judge  prepared not to talk about whatever they hear with others  positive  able to show sympathy to anyone  dependable  prepared to give up some of their free time to help others We will train you and show you how best to help people who feel they have no hope. If you think you might be interested, why not try this little test: 1. Ma Li is a college student and pregnant. Should she have an abortion? 2. Liu Bin is 43 years old. She and her husband no longer live in the same city. They hardly ever see each other. Should she leave him? 3. Wang Li’s wife spends her housekeeping money on clothes rather than food. Should he get a divorce? If you answered “yes” or “no” to these questions, then perhaps you are not the person for us. However, if you think that the solutions are not so clear, then you are one of the people we are looking for. We need people who can see all sides of a problem and help provide a solution that will genuinely help another person. If you would like to let us know your interest, either ring us at the telephone numbers below or email us. We will be waiting for your call or your email. Thank you.

For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule. To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. Furthermore, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily locate them. How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the spot you’re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach? 38 Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids. What to Say — 39 Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked, so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens. Their Personal Information — Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address. 40 A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids. B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places. C. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down ! D. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you ? E. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost. F.

Even now, there are times when I feel like I’m being treated like a child by my parents. One of the hardest things for parents is seeing their kids grow up.

As for your grades, what matters is that you’re giving all your effort. If your parents are truly unsatisfied with your grades, I advise you to talk with them and you can get your teachers involved if necessary. Yours, Lily
