26、I’m not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers but I don’t have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.

A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. “When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you’ll know that it’s almost time for your son to come home. They’ll give you what you need most.” She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her—trying to show my gratitude for her gift.

It was a long winter—cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I’d planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.

Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.

Day after day I noted the flowers’ progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly coloured flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.

27、How to test best

It’s back to school, which means it’s back to tests. It might also mean it’s back to being majorly stressed out. It does have to be this way, but a good preparation really reduces the stress. 【1】

Schedule study time.

Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the materials. It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test. 【2】 Schedule study time each day and strictly follow your schedule.

Concentrate while studying.

Before studying, clear your desk so you can concentrate. 【3】.While studying, be sure to make regular short breaks. Get a snack, take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.

【4】

Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and learn from one another. Have every person or pair take a part of the material, and come up with questions to quiz the group. Keep the group small. Have everyone take turns as the group leader, who will assign the material, and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.

Don’t forget last-minute preparation.

Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep and then eat a healthy breakfast the next morning. This way, both your mind and body are fully prepared. 【5】 Stop studying an hour beforehand.

A．Form a study group.

B．Stay calm before the test.

C．Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests.

D．This will help you store important information.

E．Also, studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety.

F．Also, make sure you have all the supplies you need to study, so you don’t lose focus

G．So it’s wise to prepare for a test several days before the test.

29、Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.

“Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”

“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”

George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.

【1】Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.

A. had lost his old job

B. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ work

C. had a desire for travelling

D. became interested in historical research

【2】The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ______.

A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap year

B. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seen

C. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year market

D. more American people will accept the gap year policy

【3】What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “gap year”?

A. Positive.    B. Doubtful

C. Uninterested.  D. Uncertain.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.

B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.

C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.

D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.
