26、Dad worked extremely hard all his life, taking whatever jobs he could do to keep food on the table. He read all the time and was quite hard­working, but he was not given many opportunities. He worked mainly janitorial (清洁的) jobs at schools, restaurants and mailrooms. Once in a while I helped Dad clean these places, mostly to give him company. One of the most interesting jobs was in My Place Tavern, a bar we cleaned from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning. I found loose change on the floor, which made me have chances to buy candies.

In addition to these jobs, he always had a paper route (送报); not just a neighborhood route, but a whole city net—one route was from midnight to six in the morning. He was always tired, falling asleep anytime he stopped moving. He fell asleep sitting, standing, eating, even driving, etc. On a night I helped him with his Wall Street Journal route. He stopped at a stop sign and fell asleep. I watched him for about 20 minutes, and then woke him up. I felt pity for him; he was so tired.

In high school he hung out with my friends and me, occasionally going to a theatre in West Seattle. At home, when he fell asleep, whoever was around would help me dress him up; then we turned off the lights, left the room and yelled his name out loud, “Dad, get up!” Or as my friends Carlos or Jay would yell, “Louis, get up!” Then he stood up, completely losing the way, and walked around like a ghost—it was so entertaining.

【1】Why did the author go to Dad’s working places?

A．To get some food from other workers.

D．His mother gave him some money once in a while.

【3】Why did the author feel pitiful for Dad?

A．He had to change his jobs all the time.

B．He was too tired with so much work to do.

C．He could fall asleep at any time and any place.

D．He could only sleep twenty minutes every day.

【4】The author’s friends dressed Dad up because they planned to ________.

27、   Belly fat （stomach fat） has long been thought to be especially bad for your heart, but now, a new study adds more evidence to the idea that it may also be bad for your brain.

The study, from the United Kingdom, found that people who were overweight and had a high waist — to — hip ratio （a measure of belly fat） had slightly lower brain volumes （容量）,on average, compared with people who were just over weight or had a healthy weight. Specifically, belly fat was connected with lower volumes of gray matter, the brain tissue （组织）that contains nerve cells,

“Our research looked at a large group of people and found obesity （肥胖），especifically around the middle, may be linked with brain shrinkage （萎缩），"lead study author Mark Hamer, a professor at Loughborough University, said in a statement.

Lower brain volume, or brain shrinkage, has been linked with a higher risk of memory recession, which leads to being forgetful.

The new findings, published on Jan. 9 in the journal Neurology, suggested that the combination of obesity （as measured by body mass index, or BMI） and a high waist — to — hip ratio may cause brain shrinkage.

However, the study found only a connection between belly fat and lower brain volume, but couldn't prove that belly fat actually caused brain shrinkage. It could be that people with lower volumes of gray matter in certain brain areas are at a higher risk of obesity. Future studies are needed to find out the causes of the connection,

【1】What can we infer about belly fat from the new study?

A．Belly fat is bad for our eyes.

B．Belly fat affects people's diet.

C．Belly fat can help increase brain volumes,

D．Belly fat may have a bad influence on our brain.

【2】Who most probably has lower brain volume according to the new study?

A．A tall and thin man.

B．A short and thin man.

C．A man with too much belly fat.

D．A man with normal body weight.

【3】What do the researchers need to study further according to the text?

A．The real cause of getting obesity.

B．The danger of getting too much fat.

C．The bad effect caused by belly fat and brain shrinkage.

D．The reasons for the connection between belly fat and brain shrinkage.

28、When I was 10 years old, I tried out for the cheerleading squad. I had taken gymnastics classes for two years to prepare for these tryouts. However, I didn't make the team. It was a heavy blow to me. I cried all night.

Kids today won’t experience that kind of rejection. They’re growing up in “everybody gets a turn” world where every child gets a chance to kick the ball, sing the song, and win the award. But that’s not always such a good thing.

Parents have become fearful of letting kids fail, thinking that our children are easily hurt and will never recover from anything—that’s a serious problem. Last week, my 7-year-old daughter didn’t get into the school play. At first, I was upset by it. How would she react? When I gave her the news, I was ready to hug her and cry with her. She looked at me, made a slight face and said, “That’s too bad. What’s for dinner?”

It clearly wasn’t the end of her world. Maybe if we let our kids experience rejection once in a while, we’d realize they are much stronger than we think. Kids need to be able to handle disappointments; doing so helps them to prepare for real life. Most importantly, rejection carries the possibility not only for growth and can also motivate kids to try harder the next time.

Rejection is pain. There is no way around that. How will our kids ever discover their true talents if we don’t let them? Instead of complaining, maybe we should consider rejection an opportunity.

【1】The author shared her childhood story with readers to ________.

A. introduce the topic of how to let kids face rejection in life

B. suggest how difficult it was for her to join a cheerleader squad

C. show how her parents attached importance to her education

D. explain why children are easily hurt in the process of their growth

【2】When failing to get into the school play, the author’s 7-year-old daughter ________.

A. felt greatly disappointed B. was upset about it

C. cried all night   D. thought nothing of it

【3】In the author’s opinion, rejection ________.

A. is something that can be avoided in life

B. is good for the growth of the children

C. discourages children from learning new things

D. causes children to lose their confidence

【4】What is important when we face rejection according to the last paragraph?

A. Health.     B. Interest.

C. Attitude. D. Memory.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is.

Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid——all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad.

Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test. On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.
