When I was growing up, I always heard my teachers say, “Daniel has a talent (天赋) for Maths.” When watching the Olympics, my parents often said, “These athletes are born with such abilities.” These words made me believe some people did have some talents when they were born. As a result, I never worked hard at Maths. And I never realized the fact that if I keep trying, a difficult task will finally become easy.
I learnt this from my young son, Nick. One day, when I was finishing a task, I made a mistake, which worried me a lot. He comforted me, saying “Mum, mistakes can grow your brain.”
In fact, there’s no need to worry about mistakes or failures because they are just a part of growth and success. However, most people don’t think so. We must correct this. We should encourage our children not to be afraid of making mistakes because that means they are just trying out new ideas.
When Sara Blakely, a self-made billionaire, was growing up, her father kept asking her the same question over dinner, “What have you failed this week ” When she talked about her mistakes and failures, her father always cheered her up and made her believe mistakes and failures are fine. Sara said it was her father’s encouragement that made her a great success.
So move forward and ask yourself, “What have you failed this week ”
28.What stopped the writer from working hard at Maths
A. She wasn’t interested in it. B. She didn’t think she has a talent.
C. She thought it was useless. D. She made too many mistakes.
29.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Keeping trying is important.
B. Failure is the path to success.
C. Mistakes prevent people moving forward.
D. Encouragement makes a man a success.
30.Which is the best title for the text
A. A secret to success B. A talent for Maths
C. The power of mistakes D. Encourage yourself
C
It might sound like magic, but in February, a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient was able to drink water on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain. The glove then acted as his hand.
This was a success in brain-machine interface (BMI,脑机接口) technology made by a team of Chinese scientists and doctors.
BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices (外部设备), making communication between the brain and computers. For paralyzed people, BMI can allow them to move and do simple things by themselves.
On Oct 24, 2023, the team put a BMI chip (芯片) in the patient’s head. The chip can receive neural signals (神经信号) from the brain.
After three months of home recovery training, the patient can now use his brain signals to control a special glove powered by air pressure. This helps him do things like drinking water on his own.
BMI technology usually means putting chips directly onto the patient’s brain. However, this project is minimally invasive (微创的), making sure the patient’s brain is not harmed. So it is an important achievement. It also uses a wireless power supply (无线电源), so the implanted (植入的) device doesn’t need a battery.
Li Yuanning from ShanghaiTech University told CCTV News that BMI is now mainly used in the medical field to improve the lives of people with brain-related problems or speech difficulties.
In China, BMI technology is still in the early stages of research, with no products on the market yet. Some people are worried that tests may influence patients’ independence (独立) and even who they are. Ethical concerns (伦理问题) related to BMI also need to be solved. These include whether the patient has a clear understanding of what is going on when they agree to take part in the test.
31.What is China’s recent success in BMI
A. A BMI chip was successfully put into a patient’s brain.
B. BMI helped a paralyzed patient drink water on his own.
C. A paralyzed patient can move freely with a BMI chip.
D. A paralyzed patient can communicate with computers.
32.What is the advantage of the new BMI technology
A. It doesn’t harm patients’ brains.
B. It doesn’t need any power.
C. It understands patients’ needs correctly.
D. It helps people improve their speech skills.
33.What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Many people are against BMI technology.
B. The tests of BMI are at high risk of failure.
C. BMI technology is still under development.
D. BMI technology is widely used in the medical field.

He put my saddle (马鞍) and bridle (缰绳) on and rode up to the front door of the house. The Squire was there.
“John,” he said, “Mrs Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.”
“Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John.
I went as fast as possible.
When we arrived at Dr White’s house, John told him, “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately (立刻).”“ Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours ” he asked.

I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day.

38.The stories in The Ice Cream Machine have the same title, but they each have a different plot (情节) about the ice cream. One story is about a boy and his robot in the future. Another is about a father and a daughter who create an ice cream machine. My favourite story in the book is about two sisters, Pam and Penelope, who try to enter an ice-cream-eating competition. As well as the stories above, there are three more stories in the book.
Its writer, Adam Rubin, has much experience when it comes to writing about food. His most famous children’s book is Dragons Love Tacos. “I like to write about food because it’s loved by people of all different cultures,” Rubin says.
Rubin hopes The Ice Cream Machine inspires kids to write. Its jacket (书套) turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’ re trying to write to please someone else, you might not get it right. Then no one is happy,” he says.
I recommend The Ice Cream Machine to anyone who likes creative and funny story-telling. The book goes down just like ice cream: smooth, enjoyable and with a pleasant aftertaste.
(1) How many stories are there in all in the book ___________________________________________________________
(2) Why does Rubin write about food ___________________________________________________________
(3) Do you think the book is worth (值得) reading Why or why not ___________________________________________________________
