26、 When I was about halfway between twenty and thirty, I lived in a large, run-down house that other people thought was romantic. The door to my bedroom was at least twelve feet tall. So I fixed a coatrack(衣帽架) over the top, and whenever I needed to get a jacket, or a towel, I stood on my desk chair to get them, swinging uncertainly.
There were six of us in the house. We were all about the same age. Two boys lived on the top floor and three lived in the basement. As the only girl, I was aware of being surrounded by shirtless boys, which is embarrassing especially in summer.
One hot afternoon, I wrote a long e-mail to my high-school English teacher, because I remembered him as handsome in a remote way. He wore expensive clothes and took an understated pleasure in saying inspiring things. I calculated that the English teacher was about forty, and then I pressed Send. The e-mail covered a lot of ground. I summarized what I called “my college experience”. Toward the end of the e-mail, I found myself saying that I couldn’t understand why I still needed to struggle in my college life.
When the English teacher wrote back, I was unexpected. In his response to my e-mail, he mentioned some stories about those who dropped out of school and their lives were hard for me to imagine.
With tears in my eyes, I decided to keep on trying even if I was not in a famous university. I believe as long as I am determined enough, I can make my life better in the future.
【1】According to the passage, what does the writer think of her living environment?
A.Inconvenient. B.Romantic.
C.Funny. D.Boring.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The children were of complete different age.
B.Her teacher has a positive influence on her.
C.There are some boys and girls sharing the room together.
D.The author wrote an email to her English teacher as he was handsome.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe the author’s teacher?
A.Humorous and handsome. B.Serious and knowledgeable.
C.Outgoing and respected D.Caring and courageous
【4】What does the author want to share in the article?
A.Communication is the key to success.
B.When we are trapped in difficulty, we can ask others for help.
C.We are supposed to be admitted to a famous university.
D.As long as we have determination, we can make it one day.
27、By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
【1】The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A.people should eat more vegetables
B.the way people eat vegetables is important
C.eating vegetables is good for us
D.how much vegetables one should eat
【2】The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A.have the eyes problems
B.have heart disease
C.be in need of lycopene
D.hate eating tomatoes
【3】The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A.the place where the vegetables are grown
B.the way how the vegetables are stored
C.the way how the vegetables are prepared
D.the price at which the vegetable are sold
【4】From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A.it's better to cook vegetables with the fat
B.the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C.it's better to cook the vegetables without salt
D.the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
28、My husband is not a big fan of kids, especially those without manners and those who misbehave.
One of our neighbours has 3 children and the oldest is Jacob. He was 5 at the time. For some reason, he took a liking to my husband. Every time he saw him, Jacob would wave, dash across the street and come to visit. Jacob would always ask so many questions. They would ride bikes together. They really seemed to get along well.
My husband had a sick cat that died at that time. It literally broke his heart and he grieved deeply for so long that even I was getting worried about him. He had no energy, cried and even quit his bike riding.
Five-year-old Jacob immediately noticed and asked me what was wrong. I told him about the loss of our cat and how my husband didn’t want to ride, or visit his friends. Jacob listened carefully without a word and ran back home.
The next day, the door bell rang. There was Jacob and his mum with a huge plate of homemade chocolate cookies. On top of that, Jacob had a huge paper card in his hand. Jacob’s mum explained, “Jacob came home yesterday and told me about your husband’s situation. He wanted to do something immediately to cheer him up and asked me to help him make chocolate cookies with the material left at home.” Jacob also asked his mum to write down a message on a piece of paper so he could copy it in his own handwriting. He drew a picture of my husband and the cat on the card and signed his name.
I gave him a hug before he ran off to find his friend and present his gift. After they left, I noticed tears in my husband’s eyes. Five-year-old Jacob’s thoughtfulness left a great impression on him.

29、As you are growing and changing, you have more responsibilities and also more freedom to spend time with other people. While you may feel ready to make your own decisions about where and when to go, your parents will put limits on you. So you may find you are arguing with your parents more than you used to. The reason why your parents do this is that they care about you and want to protect you from danger.
Here are some tips for how to avoid and handle arguments with your parents:
(1)Discuss the rules ahead of time and not at the last minute. This way you will be able to learn their opinions before you make plans. Your parents can also explain to you why each rule is in place. Ask them to give you the chance to explain how the rules make you feel and suggest what you think are right rules. Your parents may be willing to listen to your ideas and use them when making rules that you both agree on.
(2)Try to remain calm when your parents say no to something. You will show your parents that you are responsible and mature(成熟的) by talking instead of shouting.
(3)Spend time with your family. Some teens argue with their parents over the amount of time they spend with their friends. Communicate with each other and make some special family time so that you can all enjoy the time you spend at home. Suggest activities that your whole family will enjoy together such as going on a hike, taking a bike ride, or going to the beach.
【1】Your parents limit your activity mainly because they .

31、
Two years ago, when Jordie Rowland came into the barbershop the first time, it was a “disaster”, 【1】 Lisa Ann McKenzie recalls. The little boy struggled with his parents to run outside the moment he got in the shop. McKenzie ended up walking around the barbershop with Jordie that day, even 【2】 on the floor with him. She finally got in a few quick cuts, but stopped when she saw that Jordie was very upset.
The 10-year-old has autism(自闭症). Even a simple haircut can be painful and 【3】 for some autistic children, Jordie was no different.
McKenzie felt that she’d failed, but it also made her want to do better, “I wanted to learn more about autism so I could 【4】 with him and take away his fear,” says the barber.
After the first unsuccessful haircut, McKenzie suggested to Jordie’s parents that they bring him back every two weeks at 【5】 time. She would cut just a little bit each time, often at no 【6】, and the boy would run around the shop as always. That went on for a few months. McKenzie even went to Jordie’s house to give it a try. No luck.
One day, the 【7】 of the barbershop got mad at McKenzie for allowing a customer to come in after business hours. Frustrated, she left that job. Soon after, she opened her own shop.
Every two weeks, Jordie would come by McKenzie’s shop after it was closed. This 【8】 about eight months.
Then, a few weeks later, they had a breakthrough, McKenzie sang “The Wheels on the Bus” to Jordie. To her surprise, the boy looked at her as if mesmerized(着迷的). Then McKenzie gave him a full haircut for the first time. The moment McKenzie finished her job, she and Jordie’s parents all realized their painfully slow, two-year 【9】 had paid off.
By the time Jordie’s haircut was a success, he was far from her only autistic customer. Word had gotten around town that McKenzie was pretty good with special needs kids. She started cutting the hair of many other “special kids.” She also plans to hold a monthly Sunday set aside only for these beautiful, 【10】 children.
