He did chores around the house, babysat, and helped the neighbors with little jobs and set aside his Christmas and birthday money. ‎ ‎ It took him six months but once he saved a little over $200, he went to his mom and told her he wanted to invite all the teachers he has had at Northern Hills Elementary School to a nice dinner. He wanted to say “thank you” for everything his teachers have done for him before he heads off to middle school.‎ ‎ Cody designed invitations, gave them to all his teachers , made the reservation(预定) at a nice restaurant, and bought each teacher flowers.‎ ‎ On the night of the dinner, he read a speech he had prepared , thanking each teacher for all they have done. He said he wanted to show each of them that he could work hard for them like they all had worked hard for him . He then said he would pay for the meal for all the teachers.‎ When asked why this was important to him , he simply said, “I love my dad. He works so hard for his students and even misses most of our things so he can teach kids who need extra help.

But things were even harder for those disabled kids who were born in a small village in India, where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless. Srikanth Bolla was one of them. Luckily, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give in to social pressure. They encouraged the blind boy to reach for the stars. ‎ ‎ Srikanth didn’t disappoint his parents. The 24-year-old young man is the founder and CEO of Bollant industries, a successful company that makes environmentally friendly packaging.‎ ‎ Of course, getting here wasn’t easy. As a young boy, Srikanth went to a regular school. But the students and teachers there didn’t accept his disability. As a result, the young boy often was largely ignored. ‎ ‎ Worried about Srikanth’s study, his parents finally sent him to a special needs school. The young boy soon rose to the top of his class, but he was not allowed to study sciences, because it was believed too dangerous for a blind student. This was a big setback since it meant that he couldn’t take the entrance exams for any of India’s top engineering colleges to realize his dream. ‎ ‎ Not one to give up, Srikanth managed to study in the University of Cambridge in the UK. After graduating with a degree in computer science and business management, Srikanth decided to reture to India and devoted himself to helping the country’s disabled people.‎ ‎ In 2012 , he built Bollant Industries. In just four years, Bollant Industries has become a success with over 450 workers, 70% of whom are physically disabled.‎ ‎ Srikanth attributes (把…归于) his success to his parents .Though being poor and uneducated, they encouraged Srikanth to realize his dreams and taught him that true happiness comes from helping others.‎ ‎24.

The Associated Press with NORC Center for Public Affairs Research questioned 1,075 people , who were aged 50 and older. One- fourth of them said they never planned to retire. That was even truer for low-income(收入) earners in that age group.‎ ‎ In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. 60 percent of the people aged 50 to 64 said they expected to work past their 65th birthdays. More than half of those who were already older than 65 said they planned to keep working, too. They said they were working an average of 31 hours per week. ‎ ‎ Those 50 years of age or older said finances(财务) were the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority （多数） of older workers—especially those who were 65 and older –planned to change employers or move into an entirely new job, as they headed into the later years. ‎ ‎ One – third of the people earning less than $ 50,000 a year said they would keep working. About 20 percent of those who earned more than $100,000 said they would never retire.‎ ‎ As baby boomers –people born between 1946 and 1964 –reach the age of 65, the United States will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans who were 65 years old and older jumped 21 percent—or to 35.5 million—between 2002 and 2012 . That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060. ‎ ‎28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?‎ A. Americans were not sure when to retire.‎ B. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study. ‎ C .High- income earners were not willing to work past 65. ‎ D. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.‎ ‎29. Which of the following might affect Americans’ retirement age?‎ A. Their decision . B. 31 working hours. ‎ C. The money that they make. D. The traditional age to retire. ‎ ‎30.What would happen in the career of most older workers?‎ A. They would be paid less. B. They would change their jobs.‎ C. They would earn more money. D. They would have a talk with employers.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of this text?‎ A. America will have more older people.‎ B. Older Americans have to work past 65. ‎ C . American people will have new jobs after 65. ‎ D. Older Americans maybe expect never to retire.‎ D ‎ Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again. Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times. Unconsciously(无意识的), this is the way our minds work to pass history on. There was a time when writing, reading , books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all. Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation. People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past. This is called the “oral(口述的)tradition”.‎ ‎ Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth. Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and ‎ grandchildren. Can you recall any of this? I can. How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?‎ Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids. As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room .He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees. Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor. ‎ We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days. Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends. So oral tradition goes on and on. ‎ ‎32.According to the text, how did people pass on messages in the past?‎ A. By using electronics. B. By telling stories orally.‎ C. By recording them in books. D. By reading books to the next generation.‎ ‎33. What will happen if the stories are repeated many times?‎ A. They can make the children feel bored.‎ B. They can make the children’s minds clear.‎ C. They can improve the children’s creativity. ‎ D. They can give the children a deep impression.‎ ‎34. What will the children probably do after they listen to the stories from the old?‎ A. Dig up more stories in the past. B. Share them with their friends.‎ C. Write them down carefully. D. Tell them to their parents.‎ ‎35. What may be the author’s attitude to oral tradition?‎ A. He/She values it. B. He/She is against it.‎ C. He/She thinks it’s outdated. D. He/She thinks it’s unreliable.‎ 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。(每小题2.5分) ‎ ‎ I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma of the USA.

And Morrison sold tickets in advance. 38 They were happy with the thought of a circus in their own village.‎ ‎ On the day the circus parade was to march down the main street, happiness turned into disappointment when nothing happened.
