26、School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.

It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “

And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”

When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.

“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”

【1】Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1?

A．To check the patient’s brain.

B．To reduce the patient’s headache.

C．To prevent the patient from throwing up.

D．To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.

【2】What can we know about the radiation treatment?

A．It can be received at home.

B．It has to be finished in a month.

C．It may make the patients feel worried.

D．It will cause huge physical pain for patients.

【3】What does Cook do to help the children being treated?

A．Offer them some free masks as gifts.

B．Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.

C．Dress them up as cartoon characters.

D．Make the masks more interesting to kids.

【4】What does the author want to show by telling this story?

A．Love can treat the terrible sickness.

B．Kindness can bring warmth and joy.

C．Health matters to everyone.

D．Creativity leads to success.

27、   We live in a sweet world. The average American kids consume more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. 【1】 We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for us. But do we know it can be poisonous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to conduct a study on the negative effects of sugar. 【2】.

During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed the diet containing 25% more sugar. 【3】 The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as the mice fed the similar diet without sugar.

Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, they gave birth to 25% fewer offspring（后代）than the other mice. Scientists often use mice for research because they have something similar to humans. Findings from this study show negative effects that are not as obvious as weight gains or heart problems. 【4】

Different types of sugar have different effects on the human body. Some of the sugar we consume comes from foods we might expect — candy, soda f and cookies. 【5】 To help cut down on extra sugar consumption, nutrition experts suggest looking at the ingredients on food packages. Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our sugar desires will provide for a truly sweeter future.

A.But much of the sugar that we eat is hidden.

B.They found it could have serious side effects on people’s health.

C.A big bowl of milk and cereal turn he a great way to start the day.

D.And adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s.

E.Some kids’ foods are high in sugar hut low in vitamins and minerals.

F.This percentage is equal to a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily.

G.But large amounts of sugar can cause long-term health problems and even shorten lives.

28、Some people succeed, while others do not.   【1】    The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try. 

【2】. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal. 

【3】 . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余）. 【4】. They are more than just optimistic--- they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way. 

To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. 【5】 .  While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities. 

Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do. 

If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!

A．Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.

B．You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.

C．Having proper motivation is not optional--- it is another key to success.

D．This is because some people own certain qualities that others do not have.

E．Their stories will encourage and inspire you as you climb the ladder of success.
