Jason, our son, was born one month early and so he was weaker than most children. My wife Margaret and I often comforted him as he faced many 11 in his childhood.
In his seventh grade, Jason 12 up for the school running team, which made me both proud and worried. One afternoon, Jason returned home in tears, covered all over with food. He threw his bag on the floor and shouted: “I’m never going to 13 again!” As we later learned, a few older students made fun of his performance on
the playground and then threw 14 at him on the school bus on the way home.
I called the school leader about what happened on the bus, and Jason never experienced that again. He stayed on the team, even though the trouble 15 .
One day in October, we had a heavy 16 . As the other kids exercised in the gym they noticed one runner—Jason— 17 around the snow-covered playground.
A few weeks later, Jason had something to tell us. “Mom, Dad, sit down,” he said. I was ready for the 18 .
He told us that each month, students chose an “athlete of the month”. The coach would list the top athletes, and the other students 19 for the winner. Jason’s name had never been listed. 20 that day, one of the students said: “Sir, I would like to choose Jason for athlete of the month.”
The coach looked surprised.
“He works 21 than any of us, Sir,” the student continued.
“Does everyone 22 with this?” the coach asked.
Tears formed in Jason’s eyes as he told us what happened next. “Mom ... Dad ... 23 in the team put their hands up.’’
His mother and I, also in tears, looked on as he 24 showed his certificate (证书).
Whenever I am sad, I think of this story. I remind myself that challenges are not overcome (克服) by 25 , but by patience, determination, and faith.
Jason is in university these days and often holds the highest mark in his class. He is also training in martial arts. I am completely sure he’ll wear a black belt someday, and wear it proudly.

A
The Secret of a Long Life
I am Peter Brown. I am a writer with an important magazine. The other day I saw a white-haired man sitting on the chair in front of his house. I could see the wrinkles (皱纹) in his face and neck, and his wrinkled hands. Articles on the secrets of living
to an old age are always popular with our readers, so I decided to write a story and discover the secret of this man’s long life. As I went near him, I said:
“Sir, would it be okay if I talked with you for just a moment?”
“Not at all. Actually, it would make me very happy. I get very bored sitting here, even for a short time. Until a little while ago, I lived a full and active life without a moment’s rest.”
“Well, they say that a lot of activities help one to live a long time.”
“That’s true, very true. I still feel very well, although my step has slowed down a little.”
The conversation continued in that way for a while. Although I tried to be very thoughtful about getting information from older people, it seemed to me that it would now be all right to begin to ask some polite questions.
“Would it be okay if I smoked?”
“Not at all.”
“I’d offer you one, but I suppose you probably don’t smoke, or drink, or…”
“You’re wrong! I’ve always smoked a great deal. And until a little while ago, I went dancing every night. And as for alcoholic drinks ...”
“Do you mean to say that you’ve done these things all your life?”
“Of course. Why does that surprise you so much?”
“I’ve always been told that doing those things is bad for the health.”
“Nonsense!”
“I suppose that you have another secret ... a lot of fruit... vegetables ... a lot of exercise in the fresh air…”
“Don’t be silly! I hate exercise in the fresh air, and I don’t like any kind of vegetable.”
“This is unbelievable!”
“What do you mean, unbelievable? What are you talking about?”
“It’s just that I can’t understand how you’ve been able to live like that and to have lasted so long. Tell me, how old are you?”
“Me? I’m twenty-eight. Why?”
26. Why did Peter Brown decide to write a story about the man?
A. Because the man looked healthy.
B. Because he thought the man looked cool.
C. Because the man was white-haired and wrinkled.
D. Because readers are interested in the secret of a long life.
27. What would the man probably say after “And as for alcoholic drinks…”？
A. I don’t like them. B. I drink a little.
C. They’ve my favorite. D. They cost too much.
28. According to the story, the man .
A. smokes a lot B. often eats vegetables
C. likes doing sports D. stays at home every night
29. What can we learn from the story?
A. All’s well that ends well. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. What you see is what you get. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
B
Amy Maplethorpe, a first-year speech-language teacher at Raymond Ellis Primary School, used tennis balls, a hot glue gun, Mod Podge and a bit of paint to create two chairs that help students with sensory (感官的) problems.
According to the school’s Facebook page, which became very popular, the chairs provide a “different texture (质地) to improve sensory regulation (调控).”
Maplethorpe told ABC News that the chairs will service about 15 to 20 students. Children with sensory problems often have a hard time “dealing with sensory information”. Things, such as coats, blankets and Maplethorpe’s chairs, often comfort a student.
Maplethorpe was excited to create the chair after seeing something similar on a website, and she made some changes to the idea.
“I wanted to continue to help students with sensory problems at Ellis and provide a different kind of seat for the students,” she continued. “I was excited that this chair could help my students.’’
The two chairs are now in the school’s sensory room, which was created recently, according to headmaster, Beth Kiewicz.
“When a child’s sensory needs are met, we then can move on to their needs in study,” Kiewicz, who has led the school for six years, told ABC News.
Maplethorpe said the chairs have already made a difference for some of her students.
“Students have become more patient, and have followed directions, while waiting for activities,” she said.
30. What gave Maplethorpe the idea to create the tennis ball chair?
A. Service in the sensory room.
B. Chairs in the teachers’ office.
C. Something similar on a website.
D. Encouragement from the headmaster.
31. How can the tennis ball chair help children with sensory problems?
A. It helps students with sensory regulation.
B. It causes students to be more restless.
C. It improves students’ memory.
D. It makes students sleep well.
32. According to the article, the tennis ball chair .
A. is not easy to make
B. has been proved helpful
C. can service more than 20 students
D. is the best way to treat sensory problems

Model Railroading
Would you like to know a fun way to learn about math? Well, you can do that with model railroading. Yes, it’s true. You can learn about many school topics without using a school book. Besides that, there are many other benefits that model railroading brings us as well. In this article, we will discuss just a few of those benefits of model railroading.
Patience and problem solving skills
When you build a model railroad, you have to plan your railroad out. You have to decide where the tracks (轨道) will go, where to put buildings, where to put streets and any other things you would like to add to your model railroad. Also, you have to think about any problems you may have with the design you choose. How will you make railroad crossings? How will you design hills, mountains, and rivers? Deciding on what to do with your model railroad takes a lot of thought and patience, but it is not as difficult as you may think.
Building skills
With model railroading, you learn how to put together plastic models of buildings. Also, you can learn how to build a table for your design, or make scenery for the geography of your design. Your model railroad runs on electricity, so you learn about electronics as well. These are skills that not only help you build a model railroad; these skills will help you all throughout life.
Fun for family and friends
Different from many video games, model railroading is a social hobby that lets you communicate with family and friends. This is because you have to communicate with family and friends as you build and run your model railroad. By spending lime with the people in your life you love and care about, you learn to become closer and care more for each other. This is one of the best parts of model railroading as a hobby. Of course, the best part about model railroading is running the trains. Watching the trains run around the track and make all the sounds and do all the things that real trains do gives people hours of enjoyment. Also, there is great satisfaction in the fact that you, your family, and your friends built the model railroad.
I hope you can learn to enjoy model railroading and experience all the benefits you just read about and many others. Happy railroading!
33. In order to build a model railroad, you have to be .
A. skillful and confident
B. an electrical engineer
C. thoughtful and patient
D. an expert in geography
34. What is the best part of model railroading?
A. Running the trains.
B. Planning out the railroad.

The bald eagle has been an official symbol (象征) of the United States for more than 200 years. Now it will share the stage with another American animal—the bison. Last spring, this huge, hairy animal became the country’s national symbol.
Bison, also known as buffalo, are the biggest land animals in North America. They have played a big role in American history.
Long ago, millions of bison traveled across the U. S. Many lived in the grasslands of the Great Plains. For hundreds of years, American Indians in that area needed bison meat for food. They used the skins to make clothing and houses, and the bones to make tools.
Later, many settlers moved to the Great Plains to set up farms and towns. They hunted bison in large numbers. By 1900, bison had almost died out. Only about 1,000 bison were left. Since then, people have worked hard to save the bison. Today, there are more than 400, 000 bison in the U. S. They live in protected areas and all over the nation. Their comeback is seen as a great success.
To recognize the bison’s importance in U. S. history, wildlife groups and American Indian groups asked U. S. lawmakers to make the animal a national symbol. Lawmakers passed a bill, or plan for a law, to do that. The President then signed the bill into law.
U. S. Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota was one lawmaker who pushed to get the law passed. “The bison is an amazing animal,” he told Scholastic News. “It’s a great symbol for a great country.”

阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Feeling sad is an important part of human nature.
Jerome Wakefield, a professor at New York University, mentions that feeling down after your heart is broken is normal and may even be beneficial. Recently, Wakefield’s students have been coming up to him because their parents are pressuring them to get help for their sadness; often the kids want no part of it. Rather than “listen to medicine,” they want to listen to their hearts. He believes these students’ reaction represents an important part of human nature.
Professor Diener, who has studied happiness for a quarter century, finds that the Scots and many other peoples like being sad, and don’t appreciate being told they should be happier. “They say too much happiness might not be such a good thing, no matter where it comes from,” says Diener. He believes it’s wrong for the “happiness industry” to send the message that not only can we all be happier, but we have a duty to be so. He argues that what is considered normal sadness is something we shouldn’t avoid.
Eric Wilson, a professor at Wake Forest University, made every effort to smooth out his habitual frown and wear a sunny smile, since a happy expression can lead to happy feelings. He even tried to be enthusiastic. When neither of these made him happy, he concluded that such a happiness movement was no good for him at all. Americans, love for happiness, he writes, creates an environment where sadness is not valued.
These researchers believe the problem of continuous, extreme happiness should not be surprising, since negative emotions developed for a reason. Fear warns us
against the presence of danger, for instance. Sadness, too, seems to be part of our DNA: monkeys, dogs and elephants all display something that looks like sadness. Being “up” all the time can cause you to play down very real threats.
They believe that only by experiencing sadness can we experience the fullness of the human condition. Their studies show that when you are in a negative frame of mind, you become more logical and more creative. Abraham Lincoln was not limited by his dark moods, and Beethoven composed his later works in a sad state. Vincent van Gogh, Emily Dickinson and other artistic giants saw the world through a glass darkly.
People who are somewhat unhappy are more motivated to improve both their own lot and the lot of their community. In contrast, people at the top of the happiness charts feel no such urgency. “If you’re totally satisfied with your life,” says Diener, “you don’t feel like working for change. Be careful when people tell you that you should be happier.”
1. According to Jerome Wakefield, the students refuse to get help for their sadness because .
A. they believe they have a duty to be happy
B. they prefer to experience sadness themselves
C. they think it useless to take medicine for sadness
D. they trust their professors more than their parents
2. From the article we can learn that .
A. experiencing sadness may help artists create their works
B. sadness will make people aware of the meaning of happiness
C. if you tell the Scots to be happier, they will be grateful to you
D. Eric Wilson managed to achieve happiness by avoiding sadness
3. What does the underlined phrase “smooth out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. carry on B. make out C. get rid of D. pay attention to
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Value of Sadness B. People Prefer Sadness
C. How to Become Happier D. Happiness Could Be Harmful

Hello, everyone! I’m Li Hua, from Beijing, China. I’m glad to introduce my favorite traditional Chinese art, Beijing Opera, to you.
My first experience with Beijing Opera was when I was a baby. My grandparents often brought me to the community teahouse, where Beijing Opera was performed.
Beijing opera is a delicate combination of literature, music, dance, singing, and acrobatics. What I like most, though, is its simplicity. The stage design is usually very simple. Sometimes, there are just two chairs and a table. Symbols play a very important role. Many body movements can represent actions like opening a door, or rowing a boat. You should really go to a Beijing Opera performance and experience this typical traditional art.
Thank you.
