At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it. ”
She glanced at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn't I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilt out (涌出) and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way to solve his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying？”
24．Why didn't the author finish the reading in class?
A．He didn't have selfconfidence.
B．He was not fond of literature.
C．He had an attention disorder.
D．He needed a quieter place.
25．What can we learn about Louis Braille from the passage?
A．He got a good education at school.
B．He made an invention which helps the blind.
C．He gave up trying.
D．He managed to cure his blindness.
26．What was Mrs Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?
A．Angry. B．Impatient.
C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.
27．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Keep Trying to Solve All Problems
B．How to Overcome Attention Disorder
C．A Great Teacher
D．From the “Blind” to the “Sighted”
C
Have you ever felt like you aren't respected by others? In a way like you are taken for granted (想当然) or not taken seriously? In one way or another, all of us have felt this. We hope to be regarded as an authority (权威), someone people respect and believe in. We're not taught in school how to do this. It's something we learn by ourselves. And the answer is as simple as changing your mindset. You can change your game by changing your mind.
Take the time to look back and think about every person in your life who is an authority, a leader at work who you trust, or the man who you respect and encourages you. They're up there not for the reasons you think. If you really think about it, they aren't the smartest or the most educated. Instead, they're up there because they're great teachers for the success of their customers or employees.
Let's take Richard Simmons, a famous fitness instructor, for example. He became wellknown since he started gaining popularity during the first few years in his career. Stop and think. People look up at him and give him authority because he's a great educator. Instead of sharing information that's far too difficult to understand, he figures out what your problems are and finds out a way to fix them. He doesn't try too hard to impress his followers because by now they're already pretty impressed with the desire to solve people's problems. Depending on what field you're in, you can share with people things you know and you think they'll want to know as well. If you're a nurse, for example, you can make a blog post for common health problems and quick remedies (疗法) people can do at home.
So, how will you be viewed as an authority again? Make that mind shift. Find out what troubles your target. Show your care, give answers and help them climb up that ladder of success. Ladies and gentlemen, that's how it's done.
28．Who teaches people to win other people's respect according to paragraph 1?
A．Our teachers. B．We ourselves.
C．Our parents. D．Richard Simmons.
29．What is the quality of an authority according to the author?
A．He is very smart.
B．He is knowledgeable.
C．He does something for others.
D．He is professionally successful.
30．In order to explain how to be respected, what does the author do?
A．To make comparisons.
B．To list some facts.
C．To make comments.
D．To give examples.
31．What is the passage intended to show?
A．An authority keeps positive in any situation.
B．We can change our mind to change our world.
C．Kindness is the key to being a success in life.
D．The process is more important than the results.
D
If you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds? If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How do you get those extra seconds of energy? A research team at the Texas Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants under went physically stressful exercise.
The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机), which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gymgoers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened to upbeat (快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music.
The group that listened to music was able to outlast the nonmusic group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a nobrainer, but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot，” said the study's lead author, Waseem Shami, MD.
The study has confirmed something runners and gymgoers have suspected for years: Listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. “Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine，” said Shami. “When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too.”
32．Why did Shami's team conduct the research?
A．To test the effect of music on health.
B．To know the cause of failure in sports.
C．To improve runners' exercise tolerance.
D．To record the body change of participants.
33．What did the researchers find about the participants in the stress testing?
A．They ran much faster than average runners.
B．They created a new record of indoor sports.
C．They could run a little longer with music on.
D．They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge.
34．What do the underlined words “a nobrainer” mean in paragraph 4?
A．A dull activity. B．A foolish action.
C．A demanding task. D．An easy practice.
35．What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph?
A．Developing a daily exercise routine.
B．Listening to music while working out.
C．Participating in physical stress testing.
D．Taking exercise as doctors recommend.

Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36. Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37. Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 38. Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
39． That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
40．
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A．Play games
B．Ask for more advice
C．So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”．
D．You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E．Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F．The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G．The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

The Butterfly in a Bottle
Poltu was wide awake in his bed. He had had a marvelous dream in which he had won the football match in the interschool competition. He was getting ready to receive the trophy when the alarm rang, so loudly that it jarred him awake.
But Poltu wasn't too unhappy at the intrusion. He ran straight to his study table. There, in an empty jam bottle, was the treasure. A colourful little butterfly. How difficult it had been to catch it. It had kept flying away from his grasp. But catch it he did, without a net, too. And now it was going to be part of his biology project in school.
The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month. Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise. But Poltu was going to do something different. He was going to present a live creature—this butterfly.
Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly, red, green and blue. How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings! Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through, and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble on. He might have trapped the creature, but he cared for it.
Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school. His school was walking distance from his house. He took a short cut through the backyard of Sinha aunty's house, a stretch he loved walking through. The breeze was very pleasant as it had rained slightly the previous night. The garden smelt of sweetsmelling flowers, jasmine and “mogra”. Poltu glanced at his bottle every now and then and smiled at the butterfly fluttering its wings.
When he reached school, the gate wasn't wholly open yet. For once Poltu was early to school. A few boys were playing football in the field. Any other day would have seen Poltu joining them without a second thought. But today, he walked straight into his class. He opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly, and added a shine to them._________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
While going back home, he again took his favourite route through Sinha aunty's garden.
