The Teen Creative Writing Residency will be held at Atlantic Center from July 13 through July 26, offering 21 teens from around the country an extraordinary opportunity to expand the power of their individual voices through writing workshops with Master Writers.‎ Residency Schedule Teen writers will join three Master Writers-in-Residence, one in each of the following genres (类型) ― poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.

Even for those with a happy family life, home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.‎ In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.‎ Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”‎ We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.‎ The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and accumulates quickly. “That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.‎ Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to “leave work stress at the office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.‎ ‎25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”?‎ A. stressful.    B. cheerful.    C. worthwhile.    D. rewarding.‎ ‎26. What did the research in the second paragraph prove?‎ A. Most people felt more stress at home. B. Women felt they had less time.‎ C. Women were easier to feel happier. D. Men felt better at home. ‎ ‎27. What do most people think of work at office?‎ A. It is competitive.    B. It can’t relieve stress.   ‎ C. It improves ability. D. It doesn’t always pay off.‎ ‎28. According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?‎ A. Our attitude.    B. Our mind-set. C. Our working style. D. Our home life.   ‎ C The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.‎ The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.‎ Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.‎ ‎29. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?‎ ‎ A. Through his observation of the country life. B. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.‎ ‎ C. By taking other people’s advice. D. Through the combination of different ideas.‎ ‎30. The underlined phrase “drawing on ”in Paragraph 1 probably means______.‎ ‎ A. giving a description of B. making comments on ‎ ‎ C. giving an explanation of D. making use of ‎ ‎31. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Their number would continue to rise B. Each one would continue to become larger ‎ C. People would live and work in the same place D. Each one would contain a certain type of business ‎32. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. City and Countryside B. The Invention of the Garden City ‎ C. A New City in Chicago D. A Famous Garden City in England D I had been following the yellowish-green markers for a “popular and easy” three-mile out-and-back hike. Immediately after the trailhead(山道的起点), the trail became very rocky and steep. But having read information about the hike, I knew within five minutes, I was supposed to reach the hike’s first overlook.‎ However, the overlook never arrived. Instead, I found myself lost in the woods. Pulling out my cellphone, I saw it read “no service”. I checked the last text message I’d sent to my mom. It read, “Conference ended…going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon.” I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling, “Help! Is anybody out there?” Every so often, I’d stop to listen, but I never heard a reply.‎ I got out my phone again. The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal. I struggled to find a place where I could get service. When I did, I called my mom. It went through! In a shaky voice, I said, “Mom?” And then the call dropped. More than 1,500 miles away, my mom instantly knew something was wrong. She called the Denver Police Department and was directed to the US Forest Service.‎ This was how I was introduced to John, an operator from the US Forest Service. Following John’s instruction on the phone, I finally escaped from the woods. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then my phone rang, and it was John, making sure I was still going in the right direction. “By the way,” he said, “we’ve had your mother on hold this whole time. We know once you get down the mountain, you will absolutely want to give her a call.”‎ ‎33. What did the author do while finding the trail rocky and steep?‎ A. He yelled for help.    B. He continued walking.‎ C. He returned to the start.    D. He found the first overlook.‎ ‎34. How did the author’s mom know he was in danger?‎ A. The author called and told her about it. B. The author’s flight didn’t arrive on time.‎ C. She sensed something unusual on the phone. D. She learned it from the US Forest Service. ‎ ‎35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author’s mom was on line waiting. B. John came to the woods for the author.‎ C. John lost touch with the author’s mom. D. The author went in the wrong direction.‎ 第二小节：短文填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Importance of Accessibility Awareness ‎ At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Service meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. __36__However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施)‎ One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. __37__These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. __38__ And the meeting focused on educating the public. ‎ Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. ‎ ‎“As long as I am not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of the their car. __39__‎ Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. __40__ People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack. ‎ Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper use of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities. ‎ A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled. ‎ B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. ‎ C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities. ‎ D. I was surprised to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities. ‎ E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.‎ F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations. ‎ G. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.‎ 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.
