Long ago, a king received two eagles as a gift. He invited an experienced keeper to look after them.
As time passed, the king noticed that both eagles grew big and looked even more amazing than before. The king wished to see them fly. However, as the keeper set them free, one eagle soared (翱翔) high into the sky while the other flew a few meters before returning to its starting branch (树枝). The keeper said, “This eagle always refuses to fly high.”
The king soon took pity (同情) on the second one. The next day, he announced (宣布) that anyone who could help the second eagle fly high would receive great prizes. Knowledgeable people came, studied and tried, but no one succeeded. After a few weeks, the king nearly lost hope.
Then one day, something strange happened. The king saw both eagles soaring high in the sky. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The keeper said that a farmer had enabled the second eagle to fly. He brought the farmer to the king. The king asked, “How did you do this while those knowledgeable men couldn’t ”
The farmer replied, “Yes, I am a simple farmer. I don’t have knowledge like them. I simply cut down the branch on which the eagle was used to sitting. With no branch, it had no choice (选择) but to fly. And it did very well.”
31．What happened when the keeper set the eagles free
A．Both eagles soared high into the sky. B．One eagle came back soon after it took off.
C．One eagle flew away and didn’t come back. D．Neither of the eagles would leave the branch.
32．Why did the king nearly lose hope
A．Because nobody would came. B．Because nobody received great prizes.
C．Because knowledgeable people succeed. D．Because nobody made the second eagle fly.
33．How did the farmer make the second eagle fly high

B．By building a special tree for the eagle to take off from.
C．By cutting down the branch the eagle always stayed on.
D．By giving the eagle a special prize every time it flew high.

It can be really awkward (尷尬的) if someone sees you talk to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it. Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits.
You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and controlling our feelings. Speaking out loud can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work.
When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence (自信). A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.
Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry.
Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published (发布) in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud.
36．What might the word “benefits” mean in Paragraph 1
A．strange ideas B．healthy ways C．special needs D．good sides
37．According to Paragraph 3, what can self talking help to do
A．Find out who the best players are. B．Develop a player’s skills.
C．Improve one’s confidence. D．Change a person’s character.
38．Which way of self-talk can help people see things more widely
A．“Is there anything we can do for her ”
B．“I have tried my best. Just do what I can.”
C．“What can Annie do to make the situation better ”
D．“You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.”
39．According to the last paragraph, reading out loud can ______.
A．help one remember things longer B．help listeners have long-term memory
C．help to memorize things very quickly D．make more people know the information
40．Which of the following shows how the passage goes
A． B． C． D．

Do you want to be an astronaut in the future Every year on April 24, it’s Space Day of China. It’s a day to celebrate the country’s growth in space exploration (探索). The successful manned space missions (任务) are a big part of it.
What problems do astronauts face
In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity (重力) there, which affects their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong on their mission all of a sudden, they have to work out how to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space.
How are astronauts trained
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, “Eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, are set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system. Apart from physical training, it also includes basic science knowledge and mock (模拟) missions. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years.
One of the hardest parts of the training for astronauts is the underwater training. This helps them get ready for the weightless environment in space. Huang explained that astronauts wear diving suits (潜水服) that weigh more than 100 kilograms and stay underwater for six hours at a time.
56．What is the purpose (目的) of Space Day of China
57．What astronauts should be like before they can go to space
58．How many years should astronauts be trained before they can go space
