26、Sometimes the best advice doesn’t come from a book, a microphone, from behind a desk in Washington or even from the people who are the leaders in their fields. Sometimes the best life lessons are found deep in the roots of where we came from. My father passed away years ago, but I always remember the lessons he taught me. Three of them particularly shape my perspective day after day.
The first one is that little things make big things happen. To the best of my memory, when I was young, we needed to build a new shed. Those were the days when stores like Home Depot and Lowes didn’t exist. Brand-new timber (木料) was expensive, so folks often reused the materials that others in the community didn’t need. That summer, Dad and I used the boards from an old abandoned barn. We pulled them down one by one, drew the nails out and took off the tin and straightened it in order to reuse it. We got our supplies back to our yard and got to work. I don’t know how much of a help I really was, but I chose to stay beside Dad the entire period, working along with him.
The sun was hot that day, and sweat formed and ran down our faces. I stood there and handed him the nails one by one, which were hammered into that shed. Dad made me feel proud of my work. Even though I just handed him the nails, he repeatedly emphasized how we built the new shed “together”. He taught me that when you’re willing to do hard work, even in little things, big things come together.
The second one is that we should honor our promises. As a young man, my father always carried a pocket-sized Bible in his chest pocket. Shortly before the invasion of Normandy in 1944, he prayed for God’s protection and promised God that if he made it home, he would make sure his family attended church every Sunday. Well, he made it home and he kept that promise. I cannot remember a Sunday when Dad did not take my mother, my siblings and me to church — even when we were away on vacation. I now have my Dad’s pocket Bible. It is one of my most treasured possessions, and it serves as a constant reminder of my dad’s service to his country. However, it also serves as a visual representation of my dad’s firm determination to keep his promises.
Today, I place great value on my family and my faith, undoubtedly because of my dad’s example. This lesson of promise has been introduced into all areas of my life.
The third one is that listening is a way to acquire wisdom. My dad and I kept ourselves busy doing a lot of things together. During the nights of late summer, after dinner, the whole family would gather on our small porch to talk as the sun went down. Sometimes an aunt or uncle would drop by, and at other times my grandparents would be there. They would talk about the neighborhood news, the goings-on in modern Western society and politics — mostly ordinary things, but it was good to sit there listening and to be together. Moreover, sitting there on the porch as dusk faded into night, I learned the value of listening and observing. Sometimes taking a moment to pause gives us the best perspective and sometimes we find the best answers simply by listening.
Life in America becomes more complex. However, I like to think back to the simple lessons I learned from my father. They were the building blocks of my character and the values that still guide me today. Perhaps someone who has influence on your life taught you life lessons that helped form your character. I’m convinced that our nation could gain a lot by applying these lessons today. If we did, I think we would be reminded that the reason why our nation has become great is not merely that we have had wise leaders or well-spoken elected officials. Our nation has become great because of those ordinary Americans like my father, who have pride in their work, place great value on honesty, character and commitments, and pass those lessons on to their children and grandchildren. And that is the reason why we are still great today.

27、A new term has started in not only China, but also in Japan, the UK and Mexico. But as COVID-19 continues, how are these countries controlling the pandemic(大流行病)?
Since Aug 24, school has restarted in Japan. To help control the pandemic, some schools delayed opening school by one week, some schools divided their students into two groups for half a day twice a week and some schools tried hard to avoid the 3Cs(closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). One solution was to open all the areas between classrooms and hallways to increase the spacing of desks.
Pupils are returning to school across the UK, even though new daily cases peaked at 54,674 on July 19 according to Reuters.
All young people aged 16-17 in England were offered a first dose(剂量) of a COVID-19 vaccine by Aug 23 to give them protection before returning to school.
The Department for Education said schools and colleges would be maintaining appropriate protective measures. Pupils will be encouraged to carry on the twice-weekly testing regime(管理制度). Schools will also take measures, such as opening windows to help keep children and staff safe.
“The huge expansion of rapid testing for those working in education is a milestone moment in our work to keep schools and colleges open for all,” said Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.
In Mexico, with temperature checks and open windows, millions of Mexican school children began returning to classrooms on Aug 30 after more than a year of distance learning. The government said the return would be “voluntary and safe”, saying it would adopt a mixed model with both face-to-face and distance learning. Mexican classrooms have a maximum of six students at a time, and desks are covered with plastic and spaced farther apart. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that more and more families will choose a “new normal” life, according to AP News.

28、A study led by the University of Exeter asked parents how often their children engaged in play that was “thrilling and exciting”, where they might experience some fear and uncertainty.
The study comes at a time when children have less opportunity for adventurous play out of sight of adults, such as climbing trees, riding bikes, or jumping from high surfaces. The study sought to test theories that adventurous play offers learning opportunities that help build resilience (韧性) in children, therefore helping to prevent mental health problems.
Researchers surveyed two groups of parents of children aged five to eleven: a group of 427 parents in Northern Ireland and a nationally representative group of 1, 919 parents in England, Wales and Scotland. Parents completed questions about their child’s play, their general mental health (pre-COVID) and their moods during the first COVID-19 lockdown.
Researchers found that children who spent more time playing outside had fewer “internalizing problems”, characterized as anxiety and depression, and were also more positive during the first lockdown. The effects were relatively small, as would be expected given the range of factors that affect children’s mental health, However, results were consistent even after researchers factored in a wide range of variables including child sex, age, parent employment status and parent mental health. The study in the larger group also found that the effect was more obvious in children from lower income families than those growing up in higher income households.
Belinda Kirk, an explorer, welcomed the findings on adventurous play. “It’s a normal instinct to want to protect your children, which I have in bountiful amounts. But we live in a world that is so obsessed (痴迷的) with physical safety that we’ve forgotten to balance it with mental health. We’ve prioritized physical safety or physical health over mental health, so we’re not letting kids fall down and learn to pick themselves up again, and therefore build up coping mechanisms and resilience,” she said.
Helen Dodd, Professor of Child Psychology at the University of Exeter, who led the study, said, “We’re more concerned than ever about children’s mental health, and our findings highlight that we might be able to protect children’s mental health by ensuring they have plentiful opportunities for adventurous play. This is really positive because play is free, instinctive and rewarding for children, and doesn’t require special skills. We now urgently need to invest in and protect natural spaces, well-designed parks and adventure playgrounds to support the mental health of our children.”
【1】What does the study focus on?
A．The variety of adventurous activities.
B．Why children should engage more in outdoor play.
C．The relationship between adventurous play and mental health.
D．How to guarantee children’s safety when they play outside.
【2】What do we know about the study?
A．The results of the two groups are different.
B．The participants are from all over the world.
C．It surveyed the children’s mental states in a period of time.
D．It found playing outside had greater effects on children than other factors.
【3】Which statement would Belinda Kirk agree with?
A．Adventurous play is not recommended to young children.
B．We often neglect to maintain children’s mental health.
C．It’s urgent to build children’s resilience to stress.
D．Falling down may do great harm to children.
【4】What are Helen Dodd’s words mainly about?
A．A suggestion for future studies.
B．A major limitation of the study.
C．An insight into the results of this study.
D．An accepted explanation for the research findings.
29、A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just want you to help me find the post office.”
In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my belief in humility（谦恭）,even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice（偏见）. I remember a time, at the age of 17, I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington, D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this article, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. The author was as poor as the blind woman.
B. The blind woman needed the money badly.
C. The author regretted his act of prejudice.
D. The author was a native American
【2】According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably .
A. rather hurt B. deeply moved
C. greatly inspired D. very excited
【3】Which opinion does the author probably agree with?
A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.
B. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.
C. One should treat others equally with love and respect
D. One should be nice to the elderly and the disabled.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A. How my dream comes true B. A priceless lesson on the street
C. A belief that will never change D. Learn from your past

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Get out of my house, you rude, unwanted, ugly and stupid child!” Aunt Foully shouted as Justin before closing the front door. Justin looked out at the grass that surrounded his aunt’s garden. He sighed as he remembered the list of housework that his evil aunt had planned for him after he got home from school. It was just not fair. If his parents had not died, he would not have to spend his entire life with Aunt Foully. Aunt Foully was a woman with crazy, curly, orange hair. She had small, black eyes, a big nose and a mouth so wide that you could have fitted a dining plate in it. Worse still, she had a heart so cold that you would freeze if you went near it.
As Justin dragged himself to school, he felt angry and disappointed. He wanted to express his anger at somebody. He decided that for the whole day, he was going to be rude to everyone, including Madame Bell, who was a little hard of hearing.
As he stepped into the classroom and took his place at the back of the room, he started making loud noise with his mouth, and started throwing paper airplanes at his classmates. Whenever Madame Bell looked back at the class, Justin would stop and pretended to be reading his history textbook. After throwing paper plans at his classmates for ten minutes, Justin started to feel bored. He slowly took an eraser out of his pencil case and threw it at a girl in the first row named Jody. But at that moment, Jody bent down and the eraser hit Madame Bell on her back. Madame Bell turned around quickly but crashed into a water bottle on the table, water and broken glass all over the floor. Madame Bell glared at the whole class, face red with anger, and shouted, “Who threw the eraser?”
All eyes turned to Justin as he sank lower and lower in his seat. “Justin Wang, go to the headmaster’s office immediately!” Madame Bell ordered, Justin stood up and went out of the classroom.
Paragraph 1:
Justin walked in the headmaster’s office.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the long talk with the principal, Justin went back to his classroom.
