26、I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.

I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading

This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.

Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.

Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.

We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

27、Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather．But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning．Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:

At the Lake or Pond

●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore．

●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish．

●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes．

●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm．

●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol．Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water．

At the Beach

●Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty．Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides．Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions．

●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over．

●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help．

Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning．

【1】Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach? ________

A. Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.

B. Go on swimming in a heavy rain.

28、Today’s young people frequently deal with multiple streams of information and entertainment media while doing schoolwork, a trend that researchers call distracted learning. While numerous researchers found that simultaneous (同时的) use of electronic devices has a harmful impact on learning, a researcher, professor Shelly J. Schmidt of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign said many students dismiss warnings about the negative consequences because they consider themselves such good multitaskers.

While the faculty (全体教员) restrict or ban students’ unapproved use of cellphones and other devices in the classroom, these policies can be difficult for instructors to enforce and cast technology as “the enemy”. “Banning technology use in the classroom suggests to our students that they are children who can’t learn to appropriately handle it, rather than young adults we are helping to grow into professionals,” Schmidt said.

While it’s virtually impossible to make students limit all distractions in class or out, Schmidt said teachers and parents can encourage youths to develop an internal locus of control (内控点).

Researchers found that media multitasking during schoolwork disturbs students’ attention and working memory. Students may understand less and have difficulty recalling what they have learned and applying it in new contexts. Their reading comprehension, note-taking ability, test performance and grade point averages all decrease, according to the studies Schmidt reviewed.

Some researchers suggest that mobile devices can worsen a form of social anxiety called the “fear of missing out” that forces people to interrupt their studies and work projects constantly to read and respond to social media posts and messages, negatively affecting their performance. When working on the projects that require lasting concentration, Schmidt said intentionally removing irrelevant devices from their workspaces can help people limit distractions and resist the urge to respond to every buzz or ping sent by their phone.

【1】What does Schmidt find in the recent research?

A．Students are good at multitasking while studying.

B．Students are not affected by the use of electronic media.

C．Students attach great importance to using electronic media.

D．Students don’t care about the expert opinion on distracted learning.

【2】What does Schmidt think of the restrictions on electrics in class?

A．They bring in better learning conditions.

B．They produce inequality among students.

C．They may make students doubt their self-control.

D．They disturb the friendly learning atmosphere in the school.

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．The negative effects of distracted learning.

B．How can students fight with distracted learning?

C．Why some students perform badly in learning.

D．The role the brain plays in learning.

【4】What can be inferred about “fear of missing out” in the last paragraph?

A．It is caused by social media use.

B．It requires long-term focus on media.

C．It makes many people suffering stress.

D．It can be overcome by powering off phones.

29、We’ve all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 a.m., Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 a.m. and Richard Branson at 5：45 a.m. -- and, as we know, “the early bird catches the worm.”

But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it’s a feature most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, done one task before 8 a.m. makes you sleepy till next Saturday, are you really doomed（注定） to a less successful life?

For about half of us, this isn’t really an issue. It’s estimated that some 50% of the population isn’t really morning or evening oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright-eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls.

Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self-directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they’re less likely to be depressed, drink or smoke.

Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning types and a little bit wealthier.

Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material? Don’t set your alarm for 5 a.m. just yet. As it turns out, overhauling（大修） your sleep times may not have much effect.

“If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader,” says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says,pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful.When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin（褪黑激素）. “Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequences,” Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose（葡萄糖）-- which can cause weight gain.

【1】What does the author do in the first three paragraphs?

A．raising the problem -- analyzing the problem -- solving the problem

B．introducing a viewpoint-- raising the question -- presenting author’s viewpoint

C．presenting author’s viewpoint -- providing supporting proofs -- making a conclusion

D．leading in the topic -- challenging a view point -- discussing about the topic

【2】What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph?

A．To beat night-time people,ask them to do maths calculation in the morning.

B．Morning types are more conservative but more optimistic.

C．Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.

D．Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.

【3】Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support?

A．Don’t fall asleep in front of the TV.

B．Avoid being regularly late for work.

C．Better not change your sleep times sharply.

D．Stop setting your alarm for 5 a.m.

【4】Why does the author write this passage?

A．To argue against the view that the early bird catches the worm.

B．To compare the differences between early risers and night owls.

C．To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.

D．To explain why some people are more successful.

30、   As a child I once read an article about the Pacific Crest Trail (太平洋屋脊步道) in National Geographic. It was a ______ of two men who walked 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada with huge packs.

31、A few years ago, I was working in a small office. I noticed that even though the size of the organization was not huge, we often worked in our different teams.

One particular week, I decided I wanted to make people smile but I wanted to do it 【1】 (secret). So one evening I wrote up some quotes that had inspired me over the years. The next morning, I went to work early and 【2】 (张贴) them up by the sinks and mirrors in the office restrooms. Maybe someone else would enjoy the quotes 【3】 (如同我一样) I had. And perhaps it 【4】 (may) just freshen their day.

For the next few months, some of the quotes 【5】 (take) down. But I noticed that a couple remained. Eventually, I finished out my contact 【6】 that organization, but I’d still often get emails from my former boss and teammates.

A few months ago, I was invited to reunion with my 【7】 (同事) . 【8】 I no longer worked in this office, I had really enjoyed 【9】 (work) with my team and was happy to see them again. Towards the end of the event, I went to the bathroom and found a quote that I 【10】 (write) two and half years earlier was still up in the same spot by the mirror. It reads: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes” ——Marcle Proust.
