Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was always 16 by my words, “I can’t.” Very
17 tasks or goals that I set out to do were ever completed.
“I want you to read this article,” Mother began. “It’s about Marlo Thomas. She tells 18 a simple poem written by a French writer changed her life. It made her 19 say ‘I can’t’ any more, but ‘I can’. According to this article, she was able to 20 her life, and her career, by learning the lessons in the poem.”
I thought it must be 21 to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of, a very simple one called “I Can”.
“I want you to 22 that poem,” Mother said.
“Mom,” I 23 . “I can’t learn that poem. It’s too long!”
“It’s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it 24 by this time tomorrow.”
I dropped my shoulders, turned and made my way back to my 25 with the magazine in my hand. Feeling 26 , I lay on my bed and began my task.
“Can’t is a word that is the 27 of ambition(雄心),” I began. I repeated the 28 . I repeated it again and again until I memorized it.
“An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will...” I 29 until the following evening. Finally I proudly recited the poem and it became my motto(座右铭) later.
Ms Thomas did not know me, but her 30 changed my life.

Have you ever trained your brain? Now there are some new suggestions, such as eating dark chocolate and having cold meat for breakfast. You should also avoid(避免) watching soap operas, spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting “brain-fit”.
Many of the suggestions in Teach Yourself Training Your Brain are surprising. The book says to read out loud while holding a baby. Writers Terry Horne and Simon Wootton say their advice is from the latest research by experts around the world.
“For years we have thought our brain capability(能力) is decided by our genes(基因). But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle. What we eat and drink, how we learn at school and what type of feelings we have are all important,” said Horne.
The book talks about the most up-to-date thinking in science about how diet, the environment, stress and other sides of modern life affect our brain capacity. It also offers advice and exercises. The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability.
Horne believes that people need to make changes to their lifestyles to increase their brain capacity. Happiness, confidence and an optimistic(乐观的) nature help the brain, he added.
“So mix with people who make you laugh, or share the same interests as you. And avoid people who complain,” said Horne. “People who are negative will make you sad, which means you won’t achieve things.”
34. According to the book, which of the following isn’t good for training your brain?
A. Doing some brain games.
B. Eating dark chocolate.
C. Having cold meat for breakfast.
D. Watching soap operas.
35. What’s Horne’s attitude toward the brain capability?
A. It depends on what our genes are like.
B. It’s decided by our lifestyle.
C. It has nothing to do with schools.
D. It should follow the type of our feelings.

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at 5:30 to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—and you’ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!
38. Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _______.
A. before she went to school
B. after she finished school
C. without going to school
D. after she played with her friends

39. On the earth, _______.
A. there is 71% of fresh water
B. we don’t need to worry about water
C. there is very little water for our living
D. sea water is much more used than fresh water
40. Which of the following is true about acid rain?
A. Acid rain is only bad for living things.
B. Acid rain can be produced in factories.
C. Acid rain can be used to wash clothes and take showers.
D. Acid rain doesn’t just do harm to humans but also to ani mals, plants and buildings.
41. Which of the following wastes water?
A. Fixing leaky taps as soon as possible.
B. Having a clean shower for less than five minutes.
C. Keeping the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.
D. Putting in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines.
D
Reading Oliver James’ Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears. “Mom, I have to take a test tomorrow. I don’t understand any of it,” she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says “OK, I got a nine”.
“Wow. Well done!” I say, before she finishes with “But I never get a ten!”
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was sick. “Well, if I don’t get good grades, I won’t be able to afford nice things like a car and a house.”
I was quite surprised, because I don’t consider myself a pushy(有进取心) parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures(失败) even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system(体制) of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt(负债) or how to develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid(严格的) system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said, “Inspiration(灵感) is needed in geometry(几何学) just as much as in poetry”, and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them.

Sixteen is a special age in the United States.There’s often a special celebration for a girl’s 16th birthday---a big party called Sweet-16. It is like a wedding reception(结婚晚宴) in the number of guests and gifts handed out.
About a month before the party, the girl’s family sends out invitations to the guests. They must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests find good dresses to wear. A sweet-16 present usually costs $40 to $60. This is about $20 more than the usual-cost of a birthday present.
The party itself is not held at someone’s house. The hostess rents(租赁) a reception hall for the event. Food, cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6’clock, guests arrive and meet the birthday girl. Then the girl and her father have a special father-daughter dance. After that, guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then there is the most important part of the Sweet-16 party, the candle-lighting ceremony.
The sweet-16 hostess stands behind 16 unlit(未点燃的) candles and dedicates(献给) each candle to her friends, family, and anything that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging goes on at this time.
Afterwards, people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o’clock.
This school year, I have been to two Sweet-16s. I am one of the youngest students in my grade (My birthday is in December). I’ll have to wait another year before I can have my own special Sweet-16 party. I can’t wait for it!

One possible version
In recent years, some parents always send their children to all kinds of training classes during their holiday to make them study better. As a student, I think this may bring some problems.
First, parents spend lots of money on these classes, but many students feel bored because that’s not what they want to learn. Second, a lot of time is wasted. It is not only bad for children’s study, but also gives them too much pressure. Also it may be not safe to stuy in these classes. Third, it probably makes them hate studying. And it may be easy for some children to get into the bad habit of running away from school.
I think we should be given some time to relax and some things that we want to do, such as playing basketball, football and computer games.
