Today I went to a little convenience store in my town and at the door there was this man sitting on the floor
looking sad with a sign saying “It’s my birthday. Help please.” I had nothing on me, so I did my shopping and just
hoped he would stay there by the time I finished what needed to do.
I did my shopping quickly and bought him some chocolate and prepared a bank note for him. When I left the
shop, he was still there so I started a little conversation. He said he was from Glasgow, Britain, and that he was
homeless here without any relatives or friends. My heart went to him. No one should be homeless. We should all
have the right to own a shelter in some shape of form. I gave him the chocolate and some money and when he
looked at the bank note, he said, “Are you sure ” I said, “Yes, it is your birthday gift.”
Moved deeply, he said, “You know it is really my birthday, I was born on the 16th of August 1970, and this is
the best present I have received today.” In my heart I knew that he was telling the truth despite just a few words
written carelessly on a piece of cardboard. There are things one just knows in their heart. While I am writing this
story, I realize that my brother was born in 1970. He could be my brother. He probably is someone’s brother. My
wish for him is that he gets his life organized and finds a place he can call home.

Zea Tongeman, a 14-year-old student, who is crazy about the Internet, applied technology to create an
application that encourages people to recycle while having fun.
Zea was really inspired when she attended" Little Miss Geek Day” an event that is aimed at making
technology more accessible and appealing to young women and inspiring them to consider technology careers.
Soon after, she entered “Apps for Good”, a competition that encourages students to create positive change through
technology. Teaming up with her friend, Jordan Stirbu, she laid the foundations for “Jazzy Recycling”.
The “Jazzy Recycling” application is designed to encourage young people to recycle more, which wins the
favor of the youth. It turns waste disposal into a game and helps you find places to recycle. Then you scan what you
need to recycle, share it, and get rewards such as shopping vouchers (代金券) and games to be unlocked for what
you have recycled. Tapping into the teen enthusiasm for sharing every little aspect of their daily life on social media
like Facebook, Twitter or. Instagram, recycling efforts can be shared too as a fun game among friends, which makes
more people take part in recycling activities.
Zea explains why she is hooked on the Internet and how technology has changed her, “I used to think
technology was just fixing computers and using smartphones; I have become very tired from just using what is
available. I have discovered another side to it—I can make technology of my own.”
In fact, Zea Tongeman has taken the idea of recycling seriously and hopes all her fellow beings would give it a
serious thought. This teen girl from the United Kingdom has made use of computer programming to create her own
app that would encourage people to go recycling for a better world.
46. “Little Miss Geek Day” is intended to __________.
A. encourage girls to be creative B. inspire students to go recycling
C. introduce some famous role models to students D. get girls interested and involved in technology
47. How does “Jazzy Recycling” appeal to the young
A. It raises their awareness of waste disposal. B. It provides varieties of convenient services.
C. It combines recycling with fun activities. D. It offers money to attendees who recycle.
48. The underlined part “hooked on” means __________.
A. curious about B. disconnected from C. attracted to D. bored with
49. Which of the following best describes Zea Tongeman
A. Creative. B. Generous. C. Considerate. D. Modest.
50. What can we learn from Tongeman’s story
A. Teenagers have a particular talent for inventing apps.
B. Youngsters can make a difference in their own ways.
C. Competitions can inspire teenagers to achieve success.
D. Technology plays a rather significant role in education.
D
Encouragement and praise can come in many forms, and some ways are better for child development than
others. Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions found that the type of praise
children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life. Specifically, praise coming with feedback
about their behavior helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later, compared with
compliments that focused more on the child himself, like “You’re a good boy.”
“This is something we suspected that would be the case based on a lot of experimental research, and it’s
exciting to see it plays out in the real world,” says Elizabeth, a professor of psychology at Temple University, who
led the study. “Praising the efforts, actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in the long run.”
Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “You’re doing a great job,”
which emphasize the child’s actions. “Person praise” includes comments like “You’re so smart” or “You’re so
good,” which focus on a child’s inner qualities. These distinctions aren’t new in the field of psychology, but exactly
how they affect children’s development over the years hasn’t been clear.
As part of the study, researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years
old, and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions. Five years later, the
researchers followed up with the families, using questionnaires to measure the children’s attitudes toward
challenges and problem solving. The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge,
and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems. While person praise didn’t seem to have any
negative effect on the children, process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and
improved, while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.
51. Hearing the praise “You’re a good boy”, kids may __________.
A. obtain proper feedback from parents B. have effective interaction with parents
C. be likely to fix their formed abilities D. be willing to solve existing problems
52. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.
B. Praising kids is considered beneficial in the long run.
C. Researchers carried out experiments in real situation.
D. Researchers doubts whether kids should be praised.
53. The underlined word distinctions in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. differences B. conditions C. exceptions D. appearances
54. From the last paragraph we can learn that __________.
A. Kids should not be given praises quite frequently
B. Kids with process praise tend to be more creative
C. Process praise is less effective as we’ve expected
D. Different kids should be praised in different ways
55. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To recommend two different praising ways. B. To report the process of praising experiment.
C. To present the result of process praising. D. To introduce a better way to praise kids.

V. Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (2 points each, 10 points in total)
“Tennis—I’m saying goodbye.” With these words, Russian tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, 32, has
announced her retirement.
“How do you leave behind the only life you’ve ever known ” she asked herself. Several reasons played a role
in Sharapova leaving the tennis court for good.
Over the last couple of years, she’s dealt with an injury in her right shoulder and inflammation (炎症) in her
forearms that may have prevented her from returning to top form. In more recent news, the death of her longtime
friend, US basketball legend Kobe Bryant, also played a factor in her decision to retire.
“As I think you’ve seen throughout my career, my perseverance has been my greatest tool, my greatest
strength,” Sharapova said in an interview. “But I’ve started feeling like it was becoming a weakness, because the
stubbornness (执着) that was keeping me going was keeping me going for wrong reasons.”
Sharapova rose to stardom (明星身份) at age 17 when she won Wimbledon in 2004. She won a total of four
Grand Slam singles titles: the 2006 US Open, the 2008 Australian Open, and the 2012 and 2014 French Open. She
also earned the Fed Cup title in Russia in 2008 and an Olympic silver medal in singles in 2012, among many other
accomplishments.
For 16 straight years from 2004, Sharapova was the world’s highest-earning female athlete, according to
Forbes. Off the court, she made millions of dollars from companies such as Evian and Nike, as well as starting her
own candy company.
“Tennis showed me the world and it showed me what I was made of,” Sharapova wrote on Facebook on Feb
26, alongside a photo of herself as a young girl with a tennis racquet (球拍) . “It’s how I tested myself and how I
measured my growth. And so in whatever I might choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I’ll still be
pushing, I’ll still be climbing, I’ll still be growing.”
