In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned （召唤） the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!
24．Why was Katherine arranged to the author’s school
A．Katherine likes various activities.
B．Her family settled in a new place.
C．The author is good at teaching deaf children.
D．Her parents were satisfied with Katherine’s teacher.
25．When the author first met her, what was Katherine doing
A．She kept silen. B．She kept crying. C．She was studying. D．She was writing.
26．What does the underlined word “prompted” mean in Paragraph 1
A．Advised. B．Prevented. C．Convinced. D．Encouraged.
27．What does the author want to show by telling the story in Paragraph 3

C．Why Katherine could make a change. D．Where her backpack was found.

On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab, Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt. “I realized this was air pollution, or sooty（像煤一样） particulate matter （PM） , made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气） of vehicles,” Sharma says. “This is a major health issue.” Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
Back at MIT, Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators （柴油发电机） to collect particulate matter. Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter. More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai, and London.
Posted all over Graviky Lab’s Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and paint, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints. At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission. It chose to do so through art. “Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that’s the hardest to collect and use. But it can be done,” Sharma says.
28．What struck Sharma most during his break in India
A．Dirt on his T-shirts. B．Health issue of the locals.
C．Coal industry in Mumba. D．Incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
29．According to the text, what is Air-Ink
A．It’s a cleaner of outdoor air B．It’s a product made from PM
C．It’s a newly-founded company D．It’s a printing technology
30．What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text
A．It improves artistic effect. B．It makes pollution acceptable.
C．It helps Sharma make a profit. D．It raises environmental awareness.
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．Arts know no borders B．Waste has no price
C．Less pollution, more art D．Creative thinking, effective painting

What kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life Will you be spending your free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first people to try the next popular extreme activity Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.
Researchers have found that men often try to impress other people by proving that they are courageous and fearless, and they are more likely to take risks when people are watching them or when they are competing against other men. Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and try not to take unnecessary risks. In addition, when people are in stable relationships, they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.
Some people seem to be more daring than others, but there are many different types. Do they take all types of risk Psychologists have identified a number of categories（种类） of risks. These include financial risks, risks related to health and safety, amusing risks and social risks. Psychologists discover that just if a person enjoys bungee jumping, it doesn’t mean he or she will take chances when investing money or that he or she will tell a joke to a group of strangers.
Interestingly, research shows that in most cases men are less cautious than women, but women take more social risks than men. Men are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.
Yet, at the end of the day, the probability of particular people taking a risk depends on what type of people they belong to. In general, optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes of their actions. On the other hand, pessimistic people are the complete opposite.
32．Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the research
A．To attract people’s attention. B．To take on more responsibility.
C．To make favorable impressions on people. D．To develop stable relationships with others.
33．What does the example of bungee jumping indicate
A．There are more than one type of risk. B．Bungee jumping is dangerous, but popular.
C．People take one type of risk, but not another. D．Some people are more courageous than others.
34．What have researchers discovered about women
A．They are willing to take risks.
B．They are always changing jobs.
C．They are good at doing business.
D．They are usually more conservative （保守的） than men.
35．What mainly determine whether people take risks possibly
A．Their personalities （性格）. B．Their financial conditions.
C．There social relationships. D．Their expectations of outcomes.

Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding. They are becoming young adults. Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts with their families during this period of life. 36 Here are some ideas that may create positive experiences for teens and parents.
Have meals together. Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 37 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.
38 As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance. Remember that no matter how big their problems seem, what most teens want is love and support. Help them connect with their families and communities. During these years, help teens learn that their words and actions matter. 39 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home. Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activities.
Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy Playing chess Going to the ballet Volunteering in your community Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too. 40

I grew up in a small town in Ohio. There was a man in town that everyone seemed to know. We all called him Bob. Bob was uneducated. It seemed that because he was good-nature d and not very smart, every one teased （戏弄） him.
One day when I was sitting on the porch, he came walking by. I was about 12 years old and thought it would make me feel grown up to tease him like some adults did in the town.
He asked how I was doing. I told him that my father had lost his job, and that we were short of money. I could see my friends laughing in the background so I went on with the lie. I had him fooled so completely that every time he asked me a question, I would make the situation seem worse and worse. I knew he made a meager（贫困的） living doing odd jobs, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didn’t know if we would have enough to eat. He replied, “You poor thing. I will pray for you.”
That night I heard the door rattle （沙沙响） softly. I thought it was the wind beating against the door. So I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later when I opened the door to go outside, I realized it wasn’t wind.
