Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit.
One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanoes (火山). He told his friends all about volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. The very next week, the teacher started a science project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their project group! Max’s friends weren’t laughing at him anymore.
Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The work was to create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model. Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes.
The group met at Anna’s house that night to organize the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. Then they decided together to do what Max said. The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay. First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown and red clay.
The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work. When they turned in their project, their teacher was proud too. Thanks to Max’s good habit they came an A+ on both parts of the project.

A woman who lost one leg to cancer is trying to break a world record. She plans to complete 102 marathon-length (马拉松长度的) runs in 102 days.
Jacky Hunt-Broersma lost the bottom half of her left leg to cancer in 2001. She set her goal in mid-January. Every day since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. “Part of my body was gone. For me the biggest struggle (挣扎) was accepting my disability (残疾),” she told the reporter.
Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she became interested in running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite expensive. Currently, the carbon fiber blade she uses costs about$10,000. It is a special artificial (人造的) leg designed specifically for running.
“Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as a person with a disability. It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”
However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties. On one recent day, Hunt-Broersma felt very tired and hopeless at 24 kilometers and began to cry. In that moment, she felt it was too hard to achieve her goal. But by dividing the long distance into little goals, she finally cheered herself up and carried on.
Hunt-Broersma’s main support team is her husband and their two young children. She is posting her progress online and many people follow her on the Internet.
As she nears the end of her goal, Hunt-Broersma is hoping to encourage others with one thought: You’ re stronger than you think and you can do so much more.

A．She lost a record-breaking chance.
B．She wasn’t supported by her family.
C．She felt it was too hard to reach her goal.
D．She couldn’t afford the expensive sport.
11. What can we learn from Hunt-Broersma’s story

Going back to school can be an anxious time for many students. But one institution in Texas is doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn.
Through a process called the "bathroom inspiration project," teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School, spent their summer beautifying the school's restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁画) on each of the stalls (小隔间).Forming messages like "Your mistakes don't define you" and "Scatter (撒播) kindness," the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough day-or any school day for that matter. And now that classes are officially in session, people are already noticing a positive impact.
Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July, Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response.
"Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted. Some even took the time to find a reason to come up to the campus to see the murals," he says."I think what makes this small little action so valuable is that it has set the tone for our campus."
And not only is that important to students, parents, and fellow staff, but it is also vital for the school's new principal, who is trying to gain the trust of the community during a time in which trust is so necessary for schools.
"Being new to the campus, I think the parents were able to see how much I value their children and have their best interest at heart,” Garcia continues. “I have had many parents tell me how they can just feel a difference in the campus climate and how much they are enjoying seeing their children wanting to come here. These murals have put trust back in the campus and its teachers, and by doing so we are able to build a culture in which our students want to be here and learn.”
12. What has happened at Warren Middle School
A．Painting has become popular among most students.
B．Some students have suffered great anxiety at school.
C．Its toilets have been beautified with inspiring words.
D．Motivational murals have been made in each classroom.
13. What does the underlined word "alterations” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Rules.
B．Arguments.
C．Changes.
D．Opportunities.
14. What's students and parents' attitude toward those murals
A．Negative.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Uninterested.
D．Supportive.
15. What does Garcia intend to do according to the text
A．Reduce increasing anxiety.
B．Build an artistic atmosphere.
C．Create a trusting environment.
D．Introduce a new culture to society.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don't want them to worry about us.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him. Thus, he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.
Paragraph 1:
It seemed as if Robert would be dying.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 1:
It seemed as if Robert would be dying. Just at that moment, Henry happened to pass by. Seeing Robert struggling in the water, Henry immediately rushed to the river without hesitation. He swam quickly towards Robert and grasped his arm tightly. Though Robert was exhausted and struggled wildly, Henry tried his best to pull him towards the bank with all his strength. He kept calming Robert down to prevent him from dragging both of them into deeper water.
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved. Lying on the bank, Robert gasped for air and felt extremely ashamed. He realized that true bravery was not rushing into meaningless danger, but staying sensible and helping others in need. He apologized to Henry sincerely for misunderstanding and bullying him. From then on, Robert learned to respect others and they became close friends again. The experience taught all the boys a precious lesson about true courage and friendship.
