21、阅读理解。

A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground. Called the “Buddy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.

The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want to partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.

The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students’ proposal, and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.

Since it was installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.

“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”

【1】Who is Buddy Bench created for?

A. Students who love games and activities.

B. Students who want and continue to be kind.

C. Students who are left out on the playground.

D. Students who are in Farrell’s leadership group.

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The PTSO.      B. Buddy Bench users.

C. The workshop members.   D. Farrell and teachers.

【3】Which of the following statements can show “the bench has been effective”?

A. The workshop kids have set a good example.

B. More and more creative ideas have come up.

C. The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.

D. Some shy students have found friends on the playground.

22、   A new study finds that the average performance of students from the lowest income families in the US lags(滞后) about three to four years behind that of the highest income students-an achievement gap that has remained constant for decades. An analysis of standardized tests given to more than 2. 7 million middle and high school students over 40 years suggests that federal education programs aimed at closing the gap are falling short.

Researchers looked at results from four different programs conducted nationwide at various intervals from 1971 to 2015 to test teenagers in math, reading and science. A total of 98 exams were used in the programs, testing students aged 13-15 as well as 17-year-olds. Test scores for 17-year-old students in the bottom 10th income percentile(百分位) were far lower than those in the top 10th percentile.

Meanwhile, the overall test scores didn't shift for 17-year-olds during the study period. They did improve slightly for 13-to 15-year-olds, which suggests that federal programs for younger students have been helpful. But the lowest income students still score much lower than the highest income students. “Programs for older students are badly needed,” says study coauthor Eric Hanushek, an education economist at Stanford University. “Lower achievement in high school leads to lower earning potential throughout adulthood. The next generation is going to look a lot like this generation. Kids from poor families will become poor themselves.”

Whether the problem is worsening, however, is up for debate. A 2011 study, conducted by Stanford education sociologist Sean Reardon, looked at 12 exams administered from 1960 to 2007, and found that the gap in test scores between the poorest and the wealthiest students grew by 40 percent. It shows the poorest students lag about three to six years behind their wealthier peers in learning. Reardon suggested parents of means were increasingly investing in their children's education, sharpening the divide.

The different results between the new study and that conducted in 2011 come down to the fact that the researchers analyzed results from different tests and how they categorized(分类) family income level, says education sociologist Anna Chmielewski. Hanushek and Reardon agree that the income-related achievement gap is alarming.

【1】What does the result of the new study indicate?

A．The poorest students' lagging behind exists in specific age groups.

B．A better standard for category should be adopted in the study.

C．The federal education programs turned out unsuccessful generally.

D．A better school performance necessarily leads to higher income.

【2】How does the author present the serious issue?

A．By showing the discussion result.

B．By clarifying some points.

C．By doing a questionnaire.

D．By making a comparison.

【3】What may cause the different results of the two studies?

A．The different countries.

B．The analytical methods.

C．The income assessments.

D．The different ranges of age.

【4】Why does the income-related achievement gap concern people?

A．It will disappear eventually.

B．It will further widen the social gap.

C．It results in the students' blind competitions.

D．It makes Americans smarter and richer.

23、In conversation, body language is more important than you might think. Only 7% of our communication is expressed in words. How can we appear calm and confident?

First of all, try to keep still. The old belief that we make up our minds about someone within the first ten seconds of meeting them is untrue. It’s within one-tenth of a second! Therefore, when meeting someone for the first time, try to avoid any small, repetitive (重复的) movements. Take slow, deep breaths and try to keep as still as possible. Your words will hold more importance and you can get your ideas heard without unnecessary body language.

Smile is a powerful gesture, even when you’re on your own. When others see you smile, a similar reaction takes place and they begin to feel happier and more relaxed. And it does use fewer muscles to smile than to frown. Practise “smiseing” (smiling with your eyes) too, as this will help your big smile look more genuine.

When we suffer from anxiety (焦虑), our heart rate increases, our chest feels tight and we can, I seem to catch our breath properly. In this case, practise breathing rhythmically and finally the rest of your body will relax and you will immediately appear calmer.

You may have heard of the power pose—stand with your legs far apart with your hands on your hips (臀部). This might help you feel at ease, and you’ll appear calmer and more confident.

【1】When you meet someone for the first time, you’d better ________.

A．avoid any body language

B．keep as still as possible

C．repeat small movements

D．speak out your ideas

【2】Why are you advised to practise “smiseing”？

A．Because you are on your own.

B．Because you will be more important.

C．Because it helps you look more genuine.

D．Because it helps you make up your mind.

【3】What happens when you feel anxious?

A．You may breathe rhythmically.

B．You will catch your breath properly.

C．Your body will relax immediately.

D．Your heart may beat violently.

【4】What does the underlined word “pose” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Posture.

B．Language.
