26、When most high school students complain about having to wake up extra early，they're usually referring to a swim practice before class or the last minute study before a test. But that was never the case for Corey Patrick，who woke up at 4：30 every morning last year in order to arrive on time at Tarrant High School in Alabama.
Patrick had attended Tarrant City Schools since his fourth grade，but things got difficult when his family moved to a town 14 miles away. Even though his family didn't have any forms of transportation，Patrick didn't want to miss out on his senior year with friends，so he woke up at 4：30 every morning in order to make it to a 5：41 a．m.bus that would help him get to Tarrant on time.And just as he had done every other school day of the year，Patrick got up one morning to start the journey from his home to his high school; the only obvious difference that morning was that he was wearing his graduation gown (毕业礼服)，which made that day's bus driver，DeJuanna Beasley, take some photos of him. She then shared them online with these words，“You tell me this isn't determination.He got on my bus to go to his graduation，and no one was with him.Sometimes it's all in what you want out of life.I was so proud of this young man.”
That was soon shared by many people online，and it caught the attention of radio host Rickey Smiley，who surprised Patrick by giving him a car later. Smiley confirmed that he would make sure that Patrick received help with getting his driver's license. A GoFundMe was also created for Patrick，which has raised over $20,000. And Patrick has got a scholarship (奖学金) to Jacksonville University，where he plans to study computer science.

27、 Salik, a 14-yearold boy, has become an overnight online star after a Malaysian visitor to the temples (寺庙) of Angkor in Cambodia posted a video on Facebook of him speaking 10 different languages. The post went viral throughout the country and many parts of Asia, throwing the spotlight on the boy.
Salik is one of many children selling simple gifts to tourists. But Salik has surprised visitors with his ability to talk in many foreign languages. His mostly self-taught skills are amazing. With this unusual talent, he earns more than other children. The money goes directly to his mother, who uses it to support Salik's as well as his brothers' education and the family's daily needs. Their home is just a few hundred meters from the famous temple Ta Prohm, and the family has struggled with debt.
Luckily, Salik's days as a temple seller could now be over. Rich businessmen and charities have promised thousands of dollars, donated new bicycles and toys, and agreed to support Salik's
education until he finishes university. With their support, he has made up his mind to further improve his language skills and general education. His dream is to become a tour guide when he finishes school, a dream close to his home and his heart, so he can travel to new countries.
Salik has that chance now while, sadly, most of the other children around him do not. In Cambodia, there are thousands of children on the streets, many of whom are forced to beg. Their
job is to be happy and smiling for the tourists, who feel sad for them and give them money, but that money doesn't go to the children. It goes to the men in control of the children and the begging business. Therefore, the best way to help children in Cambodia, and elsewhere, is'DON'T BUY FROM CHILDREN", according to Bruce Grant, Cambodia's Chief of Child Protection. He explains that the more a child earns, the more likely it is that he will continue to be forced to work.
【1】What does the underlined part“went viral" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Led to chaos.
B.Caused discussion.
C.Gained much attention.
D.Raised a lot of money.
【2】What can we learn about Salik in Paragraph 2?
A.He has a talent for languages.
B.He sells his gifts at a higher price.
C.He loves to post videos on Facebook.
D.He gets no education because of his family's debt.
【3】How is Salik influenced by the going-viral post?
A.His life was greatly changed.
B.He started university education.
C.He could sell more simple gifts.
D.He had a new dream for his career.
【4】What is suggested by Bruce Grant to help children in Cambodia?
A.Giving them some money.
B.Buying some gifts for them.
C.Stopping buying gifts from them.
D.Posting videos on Facebook for them.
【5】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To raise money for Salik and his family.
B.To tell readers a new way to become famous.
C.To introduce an amazing boy and his family.
D.To call for care to poor children in Cambodia.
28、A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.
Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B”. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.
Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. “Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”
Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies—regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.
【1】What makes connections in a baby’s brain?
A．Having a higher IQ.
B．Experiencing new information.
C．The baby’s early age.
D．The connection with other babies.
【2】What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?
A．Babies can identify different sound patterns.
B．Word order is relevant to meaning.
C．Babies can well understand different words.
D．A certain brain region processes language.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Words have different sounds.
B．Different orders have different meanings.
C．Different languages have different grammar.
D．Grammar is important in learning languages.
29、Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013, and the US is just 16th. A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada. The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come.
People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a “quality-of-life” index（指数）where it is best to be born next year.
One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total, the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography（人口学）social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.
Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly, the largest European economies - Germany, France and Britain — do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.
【1】According to the passage, the happiest people live in .
A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria
【2】The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include .
A. economy B. geography
C. trust in public institutions D. pollution
【3】From the passage, we know .
A. the Economist Intelligence Unit is a company
B. the Economist attempted to measure the best place to live
C. the Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list
D. half of the top 10 countries are from the euro-zone
【4】The purpose of the text is to show people .
A. the best place to be born in 2013
B. a new study made by the EIU
C. the worst country to be born in 2013
D. the factors of measuring the best place to be born

31、Vocabulary
When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.
I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers(平辈) also 【1】 for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.
But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?
Finally, 【2】 pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their 【3】 and abilities. I happened to be the right person.
To be frank, I once felt 【4】 of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”
A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had 【5】 it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be 【6】.
This experience taught me never to look 【7】 on anything, and always remain humble.
I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was 【8】 good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.
After this, I read notebooks in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver right 【9】 to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.
After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my 【10】. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.
