Have you heard of the following people? Maybe yes, maybe no. But they may be an inspiration for you.
The Tree Lady
Kate Sessions was an American botanist and landscape architect closely associated with San Diego, California. After becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, she took a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of San Diego. Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else. Therefore this young woman single-handedly started a movement transforming the town into the leafy, garden-filled place as it is today.
The Snowflake(雪花) Man
Wilson Bentley is one of the first known photographers of snowflakes. His enthusiasm for taking photos of snowflakes began from his boyhood and was often misunderstood in his time, but his determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is surprisingly beautiful. In 1931, he worked with William J. Humphreys of the U. S. Weather Bureau
to publish Snow Crystals, a book containing 2,500 photographs.
The Father of His Country
By the late 1760s, George Washington had experienced firsthand the effects of rising taxes imposed(征收) on American colonists by the British, and came to believe that it was in the best interests of the colonists to declare independence from England. During the American War of Independence, he led the colonial forces to victory, in 1787, he was elected president of the Convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America's first president. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term. The 22nd Amendment ( 1951 ) now limits the president to two elected terms.
21. Who made a great contribution to beautifying an area?
A. George Washington. B. Kate Sessions.
C. Wilson Bentley. D. William J. Humphreys.
22. What is Wilson Bentley famous for?

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That’s a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?”The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is that?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.”[
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is that?” This time his son shouted at the father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
“Today my little son aged 3 was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.”
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared
for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take careof my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.”

C
If you’re DIY-minded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can even build your own solar panels (太阳能电池板), although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding—learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how solar electricity is generated (产生).
Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you’ve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing (底板) for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cell. You’ll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience with electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly.
At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with an inverter (换流器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into the alternating current (AC) power used in most modem electronic devices.
28. What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in the first paragraph?
A. It is easy. B. It is necessary.
C. It is common. D. It is worthwhile.
29. What’s the first step of building your own solar panels?
A. Master the advanced knowledge of management. B. Buy individual solar cells.
C. Prepare the backing for your panel. D. Drill holes in the wooden board.
30. Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately?
A. To produce more power. B. To substitute damaged cells easily.
C. To attach cells to the backing tightly. D. To pass through the wooden board easily.
31. What can be inferred from the text?
A. People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels.
B. A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly.
C. How to pair an inverter depends on how much you want to power.
D. A wooden board is a must for your own solar panels.
D
If you are like most English learners, you may be familiar with this: You think you understand a topic. Yet when asked to use what you have learned, you are not able to remember the information. Not being able to retrieve (数据检索) new ideas could happen on a test or even in a conversation.
Sarah Lynn, an educational consultant and teacher, thinks English learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing themselves. She adds that self-testing improves retrieval — the ability to use and remember new words.
Lynn is not the only expert who recommends self-testing. A paper in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition says one benefit of testing practice is that it improves retrieval. Retrieving information once makes retrieving that information easier in the future. In addition, the paper says, when students test themselves as part of studying, they learn what they do not know. When students know what they do not understand, they can pay attention to overcoming their weaknesses. Lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away from what they are studying. Then, they should test themselves by thinking about what they have learned. She recommends that learners make themselves write or speak something. Lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summarizing it. This will allow learners to test what they know.
Next time you are studying English, try to test yourself. But do not just assume that you can read something once or twice and fully understand it. Even if you highlight important points or take notes in a class, you probably do not fully understand what you learned. After all, Olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book. They have to practice swimming or running every day for years. They often compete in races to test their skills.
32. What’s the common situation faced by English learners?
A. They fail to come up with new ideas. B. They are not familiar with a certain topic.
C. They don’t learn as well as they think. D. They don’t know how to improve their test-taking skills.
33. Which is the advice given by Lynn about self-testing?
A. Recall what’s learned with the book closed. B. Remember what’s learned by repetitive reciting.
C. Question your teachers on what you doubt bravely. D. Challenge yourself to learn from videos.
34. Why are Olympic athletes mentioned?
A. To show how to be successful athletes. B. To make people confident of learning.
C. To warn English learners not to be proud. D. To stress the significance of practice.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Learning actually takes effort most. B. Improve English by self-testing.
C. Memorize more new words. D. What is self-testing?

As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. 36 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind, but also learns to respect himself.
●Show him respect.
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
● 37
The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
●Agree to disagree.
38 Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience(不顺从)．
● Control your impulse to overreact.
When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 39
●Praise, praise, praise.
So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 40
A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B. Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
C. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D. If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
E.A child may act as hepleases, and he will live a happy life.
F. Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows how proud you are of him.
G. Respectful behavior is always accompanied by bad behavior as a child.
