B
On a freezing December morning Matthew Warwick, then a 20-year-old college student, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, Matthew escaped from a mental health hospital, where he’d been diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, convinced that his disease was a life sentence.
Hundreds of people passed by. Only one man called Alex Owen, then 25, calmly and quietly walked to Matthew’s side.
“You’re alright, man? Why are you sitting on a bridge?”
At first Matthew wanted Alex to leave him alone, but something in Alex’s calm, down-to-earth manner struck a chord. Matthew felt faith, like he could talk to him.
“It’s cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe? Everything will be OK.” For the first time after the diagnosis Matthew felt perhaps it really might. He climbed back.
The police, having received calls from passers-by, were waiting there. They quickly put him into a police car, in case he was to panic and jump. He lost sight of Alex, the person who’d brought him hope.
Matthew ended up back in hospital. Eventually, he was well enough to return to university and finish his degree. Over the next six years, Matthew often thought about the stranger who had talked him round. Eager to thank him in person, he posted a Facebook message nicknaming the good man Mike. His Find Mike post was shared millions of times around the world, as far as Canada.
Matthew was overexcited when Alex called him two weeks after his post. They had a reunion, finally having that coffee they had first planned all those years ago.
“Many people walked past, but because of Alex’s kindness and sympathy, I’ve lived a good life.” Matthew said.
4. Why did Matthew climb up the bridge?
A. He was badly treated in the hospital. B. His disease made him lose hope.
C. He wanted to draw people’s attention. D. He studied poorly in the college.

A. Touched his heart. B. Drew his attention.
C. Aroused his interest. D. Blew his mind.

When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.
8. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ______.
A. care nothing about it B. pretend to get hurt very much
C. develop a sense of anger D. do something uncool on purpose
9. A teacher can help an unpopular child by ______.
A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favorite
B. offering the child chances to show his good qualities
C. forcing other children to make friends with the child
D. asking the child to do something for partners
10. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.
B. It’s only teachers’ work to make children popular.
C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D. Children don’t care others’ comments on them.
11. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Who Care About Unpopular Children
B. Why Some Children Are Unpopular
C. What Good Qualities Unpopular Children Have
D. How an Unpopular Child Can Be Helped
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第3段The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child可知，老师可以把事情安排好，这样他就有机会运用自己的能力为课堂项目做出贡献。这是其他孩子学习如何珍惜他的优点和喜欢他的方式。老师也可以通过表现出他对孩子的重视来提高孩子在群体中的受欢迎程度。所以老师可以通过提供给不受欢迎的孩子展示自己优秀品质的机会来帮助他们。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第2段When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.”可知，父母也可以多种途径帮助孩子。其中之一就是鼓励孩子邀请朋友参与到家庭的活动和你的孩子交朋友。所以邀请孩子的朋友参加家庭活动对他们交朋友有好处。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通过对文章的归纳总结可知，文章从老师，家长等的角度出发。提出多种解决方案。帮助孩子由一个不受欢迎的人变成拥有良好品质且会建立自己真正友情的人。所以短文的最佳标题为“个不受欢迎的孩子怎么能得到帮助”。故选D项。
D
The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finallyuncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
12. What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
13. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D. some stories make themselves feel uneasy
14. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A. freed B. broken C. unfolded D. untouched
15. The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
