26、I will always remember my mother’s last days in this world.
On February 14th, 2008, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police officer. Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.
On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a test that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone, Terresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.
Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. She was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as a living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives everyday. That is what makes her a true hero.

27、As the parent of two teenagers who have played multiple sports over the years, I’ve seen the good, the bad, the ugly and the absolutely cruel.
However, when I think about the value of sports and why my kids continue to play sports, I find that playing sports can help kids become successful adults. Through sports, kids learn how to work in teams, how to challenge themselves to be better, and how to behave when they lose and when they win. Whether kids play soccer, baseball, or football, they learn they are part of a team where one person depends on another.
When my son plays baseball, he’s not the only one who needs to play well; he depends on his defense to make the plays on the field. When my daughter plays tennis, she depends on her partner to cut off the ball at the net and win the point, and the tennis team depends on each person in order to win the overall match and become the champion. Sports also teach children to trust and respect the decisions of someone who understands how the entire team needs to work in order to succeed.
Sadly, though, youth sports have suffered from the “winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing” attitude. They have become too much of a reflection of professional sports. Winning is a happy result, but the lessons from losing are even more important. When my daughter loses the tennis match, her coach reminds her that she shouldn’t lose heart and that she should learn more from losing than from winning. Losing makes you focus on improving your skills and your strategy. We’re going to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.
I believe that participating in youth sports is much more than building a sound body. Sports are the best way to shape and build more self-motivated and happier children and help them become more self-motivated and happier adults.

A.Teenagers don’t have to win every time.
B.Winning is the only goal for teen players.
C.Teenagers should work together to succeed.
D.Winning is not the most important in sports.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Youth Sports Build Better Adults
B.Teenagers Suffer from Youth Sports
C.Losing Brings More than Winning Does
D.Teenagers Perform Better than Adults in Sports

29、Terns (燕鸥) may change their flight plans based on a sense of coming typhoons, escaping the influence of the storms but still benefiting from feeding opportunities.
Researchers examined information recorded on six terns from Okinawa, Japan, to learn more about the birds’ migrations (迁移) over many years. The terns flew across part of the Philippine Sea’s “typhoon highway” to get to the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi and varied their leaving times—often obviously waiting to leave until a large typhoon was about to cross their projected path.
“They seem to be able to predict (预测) it,” says Jean Baptiste Thiebot, a post doctoral fellow at the National Institute of Polar Research in Japan and lead author of the new study, which was published in June in Marine Biology. The study offers few clues about how terns might do this, but other research suggests some migrating birds notice infrasonic (次声的) weather signals or observe changing clouds.
The terns Thiebot studied typically avoided the typhoons themselves. But these storms can churn (剧烈搅动) food to the ocean surface, so the immediate results may help the hungry travelers. “They might actually use the typhoon to know when to leave for their migrations each year”, Thiebot says. In the unusually quiet 2017 season, with no sign of a strong typhoon, the birds started their journeys later and flew without stops. Thiebot would like to see this pattern confirmed in a larger study. He also worries that increasing typhoon frequency could affect birds’ prediction accuracy (准确), possibly getting them caught in dangerous weather.
Robert Gill, a retired research wildlife biologist, says that although the study’s sample (标本) size is small, it adds to scientists’ overall understanding of migration. “They are able to predict better than the best weather forecasters we have, ” Gill says, “but they’ve also had tens of thousands, if not millions of years to hone that skill.”
【1】What did the terns do after getting to the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi?
A.They varied their projected path.
B.They stayed there for the exact time to leave.

【2】According to Thiebot, why did the terns set off on their journeys later in the 2017 season?
A.They might not notice strong typhoon signals.
B.They didn't find enough food.
C.They were caught in dangerous weather.
D.They wanted to fly without stops.
【3】What does the underlined word “hone” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Teach.
B.Develop.
C.Offer.
D.Share.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The influence of typhoons.
B.A new approach to forecasting weather.
C.The process of terns’ migrations.
D.Terns' ability to predict typhoon.
