24、   Success doesn’t begin until you begin the walk down the pathway towards your aim. And your walk down the path always begins with a baby step.Why do we call them baby steps?Are they really anything more important than our next steps down the life’s pathway?

Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith(信念). We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them.As we grow, we continue our development by taking additional(额外的)baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself. “'I don’t want to make a fool of myself” or “I’m not good at this”, you will probably never take the baby steps towards your aims and end up in your own self-pity.

As a culture, we pay much attention to results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our aims. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove themselves to the whole world.

So learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. That’s how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life.

【1】What does the writer mainly discuss in the passage?

A．The importance of baby steps.

B．The power of faith in our life.

C．The abilities to achieve success.

D．The cause of cultural differences.

【2】Which of the following is considered most important in taking baby steps?

A．Aim.

B．Support.

C．Faith.

D．Practice.

【3】In Paragraph 3, the writer expresses the idea that ________.

A．no one can succeed with working hard

B．grown-ups should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks

C．baby steps play a key role in leading us to success

D．we must make full use of our skills in order to reach our aims

【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “sprint” in the passage?

A．Fly away.

B．Run fast.

C．Fall down.

D．Get success.

【5】What’s the writer’s tone(语气)in the passage?

A．Encouraging.

B．Light-hearted.

C．Doubtful.

D．Regretful

25、Attachment is not just a connection between two people; it´s a tie that involves a desire for regular contact with the person and the experience of pain during separation from that person.

According to psychologist John Bowlby, there are four critical characteristics of attachment. The first is the desire to be hear those with whom we share an attachment since we are happy while staying with them. Attachments also create a shelter, meaning that during times of pain, fear, or uncertainty, we may seek out the people we're attached to for care comfort. Next, attachment figures also offer a secure base for exploration. This is particularly important during childhood. This secure base allows kids to explore the world while they know they can still return to the safety of the attachment figure. Finally, we experience separation pain when parted from an attachment figure. For example, kids tend to become upset when parents have to leave them in the care of others.

Attachment serves a number of important purposes. For instance, it helps keep babies and children close to the caregivers so that they can avoid potential dangers, which in turn helps increase their chances of survival. However, if a child doesn’t form a secure attachment to a caregiver, he or she will suffer from a number of problems including conduct disorder and oppositional-defiant (对立反抗的) disorder. Researchers also suggest that the type of attachment displayed early in life can have a lasting effect on later adult relationships.

Psychologist Harry Harlow conducted an experiment on social isolation (孤立) in monkeys. Baby monkeys were separated from their mothers and placed with surrogate mothers (代 母).One mother was simply a wire armature (支架) that held a bottle, while the other mother was covered with a soft terry cloth material. Harlow found that the baby monkeys would receive food from the wire mother, but preferred to spend most of their time with the soft mother. When compared to monkeys that had been raised by their birth mothers, the monkeys raised by surrogate mothers were shyer and more nervous and suffered from social and emotional problems.

All in all, developing secure and healthy attachments early in life is very important. Such attachments play a vital rol1 our future development.

【1】The underlined phrase “seek out” probably means “________.”

A．try to find

B．start to like

C．want to hide

D．plan to leave

【2】We can learn from the passage that__________

A．people should avoid attachment because it makes them suffer from pain

B．Bowlby believes that attachment figures are especially important for children

C．Harlow found that baby monkeys preferred to receive food from the soft mother

D．the type of attachment shown early in life only has a short-term effect on people

【3】The writer mentions Harlow's experiment in order to show_________

A．the researchers' hard work on attachment early in life

B．the benefits of having healthy attachments early in life

C．the effect of the type of attachment shown early in life

D．the important characteristics of attachment early in life

26、

This weekend a marathon ( 马拉松 ) took place in Salzburg. I admired the runners who ran 42.2 kilometers for over four hours. But I've never run for more than half an hour.

At university I play korfball. This is a team sport with eight people on each team. The aim is to shoot ( 投篮 ) the ball into the hoop. All players get a chance to attack ( 攻 ) and defend ( 守 ) during the game and it's very fast. When I started korfball, I wasn't very good at it. I could throw and catch but I wasn't very fast on my feet. Shooting was also difficult for me. However, I really enjoyed the sport and made friends in the club, so I went training twice a week. Two years later I am in the first team for my university and have played in many matches. This just shows if you train hard, you can succeed.

Running is difficult because you have to make yourself willing to keep going. I used to get really out of breath while running and I didn't feel good at all! Now I actually enjoy going for a run along the river in Salzburg, feeling my muscles ( 肌肉 ) working and breathing in the fresh air.

Challenging exercise is always worth doing. Hiking is fun because all the hard work—walking uphill comes at the beginning of the day, then at the top of the mountain you can enjoy the view. At the end of the day you feel like you've really achieved something.

I will never be a marathon runner, but I would like to try a 10-km run sometime, or perhaps even a half-marathon. How happy the runners were as they crossed the finishing line! I'd like to have that feeling—the months of training paying off as you achieve your goal.

【1】What did the writer think of running the marathon at first?

A. Difficult. B. Strange. C. Enjoyable. D. Exciting.

【2】When the writer started korfball, he couldn't   .

A. catch and throw a ball B. catch and shoot a ball

C. move quickly while playing D. catch the ball from teammates

【3】Why does the writer think challenging exercise is worth doing?

A. It helps him make lots of friends. B. It gives him a sense of achievement.

C. It makes him become a marathon runner. D. It helps him get to the top of the mountain.

You will read about how you are a citizen(公民、市民) in your school, community and nation. A citizen is a person who belongs to a place. You are a citizen of the community where you live and the nation where you were born.

Citizens Have Rights

As a citizen, you have rights that the government protects. A right is something you may do. As a citizen, you have a right to speak freely and to practise your religion. You also have the right to privacy. That means you may decide what to show or tell someone and what not to tell.

Citizens Have Responsibilities

Along with rights, citizens have responsibilities. A responsibility is something that you should do. For example, you should follow the laws. A law is a rule that everyone in a community, state or country must follow. Laws keep people safe and help them get along well with one another. When people follow the traffic laws, they help keep others safe. When you follow laws in a park, you help others enjoy the park.

Being a Good Citizen

Good citizens care about people's rights. They try to make things fair and safe for everyone. Good citizens work together to solve problems. Children can be good citizens by solving problems together in their school or community. They may follow proper steps to deal with problems. First, name the problem. Then, list ways to solve it. Next, choose the best way. And finally, find out if it solves the problems.
