“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” — Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you’re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done — she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
4. What does the author think of Albert Einstein’s saying
A．Funny.
B．True.
C．Strange.
D．Confusing.
5. What can we learn about Syona’s teacher
A．She is Syona’s favorite teacher.
B．She puts Einstein’s quote on the wall.
C．She uses videos to teach her students.
D．She helps increase her students’ confidence.
6. What change has taken place in the author’s family
A．They’ve invited Ulmer’s students to their home.
B．They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly.
C．They give each other praise every day.
D．They feel thankful to people in their lives.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching
A．Supportive
B．Opposed
C．Indifferent
D．Negative
C
In an era where city streets are expected to do more than just move cars, city planners are turning to a simple concept with significant benefits: the road diet.
Actually, a road diet is a redesign of a roadway that reduces the number of car lanes. Typically, this means changing a four-lane road into three lanes — two for through traffic and one center lane for shared left turns. The space saved is then repurposed for other uses, such as bike lanes, wider sidewalks, bus-only lanes or green space.
The idea isn’t new. The first road diet in the United States was introduced in 1979 in Billings, Montana. Since then, more cities have all adopted the model. But it’s not just a design fashion — road diets are backed by powerful data and safety results. Consider the case of Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica. After being changed from four lanes to three, with the addition of bike lanes, the city saw a 65% reduction in crashes and no major increase in traffic on nearby streets.
There’s another bonus: a reduced carbon footprint. By reusing road space for cars and encouraging walking and biking, road diets reduce overall Vehicle Miles Traveled. This directly cuts greenhouse gas output, helping cities meet their climate targets.
Despite the successes, road diets often face pushback. Residents worry about longer travel times, emergency vehicle delays, or reduced access to local businesses. But if we plan with data and work with the locals, many of these concerns can be solved. In fact, safer streets often support local businesses by attracting more foot traffic and cyclists. Emergency response times can remain unchanged if planners work with local services to ensure backup paths.
The road diet isn’t about punishing drivers. It’s about creating streets that work better for all — parents with strollers, teenagers on bikes, seniors walking to the store. It’s not just about losing a lane, but about gaining a better future for city mobility.
8. What is a road diet
A．Designing a shared lane for left turns.
B．Expanding roadways for heavy traffic.
C．Reducing car lanes for better uses.
D．Sparing green areas for enjoyment.
9. Why does the author mention Billings and Ocean Park Boulevard in paragraph 3
A．To back his point of view.
B．To provide historical data.
C．To define a concept.
D．To compare different cities.
10. Which of the following can best describe road diets
A．Practical and car-centered.
B．Successful and eco-friendly.
C．Fashionable and space-saving.
D．Costly and technology-driven.
11. What does the author suggest for dealing with the public’s concerns about road diets
A．Punishing drivers for breaking traffic rules.
B．Giving financial support to local businesses.
C．Creating lanes reserved for emergency vehicles.
D．Depending on data and the locals.

Sick young ants give off a smell to tell worker ants to destroy them to protect the group from infection, but queens do not make this self-sacrifice, scientists said Tuesday.
Many animals hide illness for social reasons. Ant groups, however, act as one “super-organism” which works to ensure the survival of all, similar to how infected cells in our bodies send out a “find-me and eat-me” message, according to an Austria-led team of scientists.
When adult worker ants fall ill, they leave the nest to die alone. Young ants, known as pupae, however, are trapped inside cocoons and cannot keep their social distance. Scientists have found that dying pupae experience a chemical change that gives off a special smell. Adult worker ants then gather around, remove the cocoon, “bite holes in the pupae and put harmful and deadly matter into their body,” Dawson said.
For the research, the scientists wanted to find out whether the pupae “were actively saying: ‘hey, come and kill me,’” Dawson said. First, the scientists collected the smell from the sick pupae of a black garden ant. When they applied the smell to a group of healthy younger ants in the lab, the workers still destroyed them. Another experiment showed sick pupae only produce the smell when workers are nearby, proving it an intentional destruction message. “While it is a sacrifice — a truly altruistic act — it’s also for their own good, for their kind will survive and continue on,” Dawson said.
However, one member of the nest makes no such sacrifice. The team found sick queen pupae inside cocoons send out no smelly warning message. “Are they cheating the system ” Dawson said the team asked themselves. However, they found queen pupae have far stronger immune systems and can fight infection alone, which is why they send no message. Dawson hopes future studies will explore whether queen pupae will sacrifice themselves if they fail to beat the infection.
12. Why does the author mention the “find-me and eat-me” message
A．To explain the self-sacrifice message system of the ants.
B．To contrast the responses to disease in insects and humans.
C．To show how ants carry out social distancing in the nest.
D．To describe the means scientists used in their experiment.
13. What does the word “altruistic” in Paragraph 4 most nearly mean
A．Driven by self-protection habits.
B．Carried out for the benefit of others.
C．Caused by outer chemical messages.
D．Controlled by inborn programming.
14. Why don’t queen pupae send out the warning message
A．They depend on specialized protective systems.
B．They use a biological method to avoid being found.
C．They put off messaging until the infection becomes serious.
D．They have the ability to defend against infection.
15. What is the best title for the text
A．Sick young ants invite destruction to save the ant group.
B．Sick young ants send messages asking for treatment.
C．Queen ants refuse to message and break away from sacrifice.
D．Different ant species show various sacrifice behaviors.

Mya finished playing a Christmas carol and looked up at her piano teacher. “You played that very well,” her music teacher, Ms. Jackson said and invited Mya to join some of the other students to play carols at the mall this Saturday afternoon. Mya used her shyness as an excuse to refuse her teacher quickly. Ms. Jackson told her that the best way to overcome her fear of playing in public is by actually doing what scared her.
The recital (独奏) was going to be held right after Christmas. She would have to play in front of an audience then. Playing at the mall this weekend would be great practice. However, Mya still insisted on her own thought and she told Ms. Jackson that her great-grandmother had invited her family to the Christmas party at her retirement community that afternoon, so she had no time to take part in the activity. Mya didn’t add that she was relieved to have an excuse not to have to play at the mall. The thought of playing piano with so many people around made her feel very nervous.
On Saturday morning, as Mya wrapped presents for Great-Grandma, she thought about her friends playing piano at the mall. She pictured hundreds of shoppers wandering around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks from shopping to sit on benches and watch the piano players. “I’m so glad I won’t be there,” she thought.
When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they greeted Great-Grandma with hugs and wishes for a merry Christmas. Mrs. Carmen, the director in the community, showed a short holiday movie. After that the residents opened their gifts. “We usually end by singing’ Silent Night’,”Mrs. Carmen said. “But our piano player wasn’t able to make it today.”

五、读后续写范文
Paragraph 1:
“Mya can play the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. Mya’s face turned red at once. She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the expectant looks on all the old people’s faces, she nodded shyly and walked to the piano beside the wall. Her hands shook a little at first, but as her fingers touched the keys, her nervousness faded away. Soft, warm notes of Silent Night spread through the room. All the seniors sat quietly, enjoying the sweet melody.
Paragraph 2:
As the last note of “Silent Night” finished, a burst of applause rang out. Many elders smiled and waved at Mya, praising her wonderful performance. Great-Grandma hugged her tightly and told her she was the brightest star that day. Mya realized playing in public was not as terrible as she imagined. She regretted turning down Ms. Jackson’s invitation earlier. She made up her mind to join the mall performance next time and bravely face her fear.
