26、When recalling my high schoolGonzaga College High School,I am excited.It was founded in 1821,which was in the center part of D.C.,within the shouting distance(距离) of the Capitol building.
Seeing my older brother experience Gonzaga a few years before me,I had an idea of how special this school was before my entering to school.Through him,I could see the pride and friendship among Gonzaga students.
My true love for Gonzaga,however,began in my freshman year.I remember during my freshman guidance(新生入学指导),the team spirit organization sat our class down on the playground and taught us all the game cheers.I remember feeling a sense of energy and pride among these students that I had never experienced from a high school before I mean,it was just a high school—much school pride could these kids really have? But it was not just a high school,and it only took a few football games for me to realize that I went to the most prideful school in the D.C.
I spent the rest of my first year meeting some of the coolest and most interesting people I have ever known.Some of the funniest,smartest and kindest guys I have ever met went to this school.No matter how athletic(擅长运动的)you were or how much money your parents had,you were just another Gonzaga kid.You were friends with everyone.If you went to Gonzaga,teacher or student,you were in on the joke.
When my freshman life came to an end,I began to understand what it meant to be part of Gonzaga students.Serving the poor right there on Campus at the McKenna center,I got a view on poor people that I will value for the rest of my life.Through football I learned how to develop better selfcontrol and built some of the greatest friendships.In the classroom,I had many laughs with friends and teachers alike.I also learned how to manage my time and gained a lot of information,but most importantly,I learned how to put the world and others before myself.
【1】Why did the author consider Gonzaga College High School special before getting into it?

27、 A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world. and the baby is. well, just playing .. right? Perhaps. but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play" is more like a scientific investigation than one might think .
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge. it falls in the ground -- and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tool differ, the baby' s investigation and the scientist's experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?)
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way - that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort ----the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world ---- is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it." It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.
【1】According to some developmental psychologists,____.
A.a baby's play is nothing more than a game
B.a baby's play is somehow similar to a scientist s experiment
C.scientists should conduct scientific investigation with babies
D.research into babies' games helps to reveal the nature of physics
【2】Children may learn the rules of language by_____.
A.exploring the physical world B.investigating human psychology
C.repeating their own experiments D.observing their parents' behaviors
【3】What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A.The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.
B.Studying babies' play may lead to a better understanding of science.
C.Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.
D.One's drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.
28、We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why we can’t be more like them. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. Here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day:
●【1】That you’re the boss doesn’t mean you are right every time. Learn to back up your decisions with reason. Use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
●They are generous with compliments(恭维). Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return? Not even a thank- you.【2】So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves.【3】●They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t say something vague(含糊)like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.”【4】“I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial .
●They’re in charge of their emotions. Sometimes it is very important to stay silent. Especially when you’re angry, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time to think about what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it.【5】Never be too casual with words or actions.
A.They are sensitive to others.
B.The key is to be specific.
C.A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives.
D.When you feel awkward receiving a compliment, give the person a smile.
E.They are open to criticism.
F.It hurts when your efforts are not recognized.
G.Before you say anything, consider others’ feelings.
29、Thompson Strawberry Farm
The Thompson family has been growing strawberries in Kenosha County for over 70 years. We have been primarily a “Pick-Your-Own” farm for 50 years. Scott Thompson is the 4th generation of Thompson to grow strawberries. During the peak of the “Pick-Your-Own”, our family grew 150 acres of strawberries. Our farm is located just east of The Club at Strawberry Creek Golf Course. We currently farm about 100 acres and will be picking 20 acres of strawberries this year. Although we have downsized, we still have plenty of strawberries to meet the demand. The season usually starts about mid-June and usually we pick at least through July 4th. We are more than just strawberries though. We also have raspberries, pumpkins and other vegetables!
Always check “Today on the Farm” the day you come to the farm. Weather and crowds can change the quantity of berries we have very quickly. Come out and pick your own strawberries! When you arrive at the farm, you will follow the signs to the pre-picked strawberry stand. An employee will direct you, from the stand to the strawberry field, where you can park. The field will always have employees available to answer questions, and they are located by the large trailer (拖车). We supply the baskets for you to pick the berries and take them home in. When you are done picking, you will move to the checkout stand to pay for the baskets that you have picked.
Dates & hours of operation:
