Gao Ziren, a 61-year old teacher, has something wrong with his left leg. Although he can’t walk well, he has been a teacher in a village for more than 40 years.
He was born into a family in the town. When he was one year old, Gao was unable to walk like others after having polio (小儿麻痹症), but he didn’t give up. He tried his best to finish his studies in high school.
Gao started his teaching in 1977. At that time, someone in the village invited him to be a teacher in the village because one of the two teachers there left. Gao decided to be a teacher because he knew the importance of a teacher to students.
In the past, everything was not easy. The roads weren’t good, so Gao often fell on the way to school. “It is difficult for him to walk, but he is usually the first to get to school,” said another teacher from Gao’s school. There were not enough things in the school as well, so he usually brought some old desks, chairs, pens, pencils and exercise books for the poor students.
“I have taught many students. Some of them would like to visit me during the holidays, and it feels good that someone remembers you,” Gao Ziren said.
15．How was Gao Ziren after he was born

C．He didn’t finish his high school. D．He didn’t do well in his study.
16．Why did Gao Ziren decide to be a teacher in the village
A．Because he needed to make a lot of money. B．Because he wanted to be famous in China.
C．Because he wanted to make more friends. D．Because he thought teachers were important.
17．What did Gao Ziren do when everything was not easy
A．He asked the students to learn at his home. B．He gave away all his money to the school.
C．He brought school things for the poor students. D．He bought new desks and chairs for the school.
18．What can we infer (推断) about Gao Ziren
A．He started teaching when he was about 20. B．He was the only one teacher in the school.
C．He was usually the second to get to school. D．He never saw his students after they left school.
19．Which of the following word can best describe (描述) Gao Ziren

Have you ever touched a spider web Do you remember how hard it was to get the web off of your fingers As anyone who has ever touched one knows, spider webs are very sticky. Spiders make their webs sticky by putting a special glue on some of the web’s threads (线). When flies or other bugs get caught in the web, they cannot get out easily. After a bug gets trapped in the web, the spider wraps it in mere of its sticky silk. Then, the spider enjoys its meal. But if a spider’s web is so sticky, what keeps the spider itself from getting stuck in it
One reason why the spider does not get caught in its own web is that not every thread in the web is sticky. Some threads do not have glue on them. The spider knows which threads are safe to walk on and which ones are covered in glue. The spider can easily walk across the whole web without getting stuck in it by only stepping on the dry threads.
When a spider does have to step on the sticky threads to get to a trapped bug, it walks very carefully. A spider will use only the very tips of its legs, just as you or I may walk on our tip toes. Short hairs on a spider’s legs also help keep the spider from getting caught in the glue. These hairs are covered with oils that keep the glue from sticking to the spider’s legs.
Spiders also wash themselves a lot. They always make sure to keep their legs clean, washing them many times a day. Cleaning their legs often removes small pieces of silk or other things that might cause them to get caught in the web. By cleaning themselves so frequently, spiders make it much easier to walk in their webs without getting stuck.

Everyone feels stress sometimes. It’s a natural response to a challenge. Stress can come from the day-to-day pressures of work and family. 24 It’s the feeling that you’re overloaded (超负荷的), out of control, and unable to deal with. Once you know you need to reduce stress, there are practical skills you can try.
25 If some problems are both important and urgent (紧急的), such as studying for a next-day test, do those tasks first. Once those are done, work on things that are important but not urgent, such as preparing for the final exams. This way, you will know what to do first and won’t worry about the rest.
Still, sometimes we feel overloaded even after dealing with our work. That’s okay. Doing an activity you enjoy can help you relax. 26 And it can be getting close to nature or having fun with friends. It can also be something as small as taking a walk around the neighborhood.
Staying socially connected is important, too. 27 Reaching out to friends and family by phone, video chat, and email can help you stay in touch even when you’re not able to see them in person.
Stress is often considered “bad” and something you need to manage. 28 If you can deal with it wisely, it will help push you to achieve more.
A．But stress is much more than just being busy.
B．However, it can be “good” in certain situations.
C．The first thing is to learn to organize our problems.
D．It's difficult for people to notice the signs of stress.
E．Close personal relationships are key to dealing with stress.
F．This can be anything you like—from dancing to making art.

My dear English teacher,
As I’m about to graduate, I want to express my deep gratitude. When I first started learning English, I was always afraid of making mistakes and was very shy. You noticed my problem and often encouraged me to speak English in class. Every time I answered questions, no matter how many mistakes I made, you always smiled and gave me positive feedback.
Thanks to your patient guidance, I’ve become more confident. I wish you a happy and healthy life.
Andy
