Children will also have the chance to try new activities. Our program is designed to help develop a complete and fully active child.

I was nine when I arrived at the Children's Home in Nashua, New Hampshire, in 1965. I failed third grade that year, just made it through a second time, and had managed to finish fourth grade by the time I reached Pauline Jambard's fifth-grade class at Charlotte Avenue Elementary School.
I was convinced (使信服) I wasn't “smart” like the other kids, and I hoped I could make it through fifth grade. Ms. Jambard took a great liking to me. Of all the subjects in school, reading was my favorite. She would tell me, “Terry, you keep reading. If you can understand what you're reading, you'll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program, I started reading the classroom's set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》). I couldn't find enough to read, and I started to really like school.
After I graduated from Ms. Jambard's class in 1969, my brother and I moved, and I lost all touch with my teacher. In 1983, I was on a business trip and had to drive through Nashua. I took a chance and dropped by Charlotte Avenue Elementary. I was walking toward her classroom when she came out in the hallway and said, “Terry!” It was as if I had never left. I was in seventh heaven on my way home.
We have stayed in touch, and I call Ms. Jambard at least once a year. Because of the confidence she gave me, I went on to have a successful career (事业) in engineering. I don't know if Ms. Jambard realizes how much she helped me, but I'll never forget her kindness and faith in me.
24. How did the author probably feel about the subjects in third grade?
A. They were very easy. B. They were quite difficult.
C. They were very interesting. D. They were completely useless.
25. When the author was in fifth grade, he _____.
A. became the smartest kid in his class B. read a lot and wrote his first book
C. followed Ms. Jambard's advice D. did well in all the subjects
26. By saying “I was in seventh heaven”, the author means that _____.
A. he was really worried B. he was very happy
C. he had an accident D. he lost the way
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The teacher who raised me up B. Ms. Jambard: a lifelong friend
C. Charlotte Avenue Elementary School D. My early life in the Children's Home
C
For a year and a half, kids sent hurtful messages like “You are so ugly.” or “Why are you still alive?” to Rebecca Sedwick. In 2013, Rebecca, then 12, couldn't stand it anymore. She jumped to her death near her home in Florida. Soon afterward, Trisha Prabhu read about the story. “I was surprised and heartbroken,” says Trisha, now 15, who is from Naperville, Illinois. “I knew that I had to do something to stop this from happening”
Trisha did some research. Studies show that one fourth to half of all teens in the U.S. have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌). Experts say that if you are ever bullied online, you should tell a trusted adult. Tell the cyberbully to stop, and prevent him or her from contacting you again. Print and save messages to share with the police. This is good advice, agrees Trisha. But these methods all take place after the bullying has already happened. Trisha had a different idea. Why not teach cyberbullies to stop before they post these messages?
Trisha's research won awards, including a prize in the Google Science Fair. Then, Trisha built the ReThink app (应用软件). It is programmed to recognize words or phrases that could be hurtful. When that happens, different warning messages come out. “Don't say things that you may regret later!” says one message. Others ask, “Are you sure you want to say this?” and “Are these words really you?”
Now Trisha is working on a version (版本) of ReThink for computers. “I'm a big dreamer,” she says. “I want to stop cyberbullying before the hurt is done.”
28. What do we know about Rebecca Sedwick?
A. She ended her life at the age of 12. B. She sent hurtful messages to others.
C. She was one of Trisha's best friends. D. She went to Florida to study further.
29. What is Trisha's suggestion for stopping cyberbullying?
A. Stop talking with the cyberbully. B. Stop the messages before they are sent.
C. Turn to your parents or close friends. D. Show the messages to the police at once.
30. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. People's attitudes to the ReThink app. B. Trisha's research on cyberbullying.
C. How the ReThink app works. D. The Google Science Fair.
31. Which of the following can best describe Trisha?
A. Helpful and clever. B. Honest and careful.
C. Proud and impolite. D. Strange and impatient.
D
Summer is around the corner, and you may already be dreaming about how you'll spend your break. Chances are, staying in school is not your top pick. But for 13-year-old Simone Jones of Philadelphia — and more than 2 million other students in the U.S. — going to school in the summer is the only choice. That's because Simone goes to a year-round school.
In fact, year-round schools have almost the same number of vacation days as traditional-calendar schools. In a year-round school, summer break is usually shortened to about four weeks; the remaining vacation time gets spread out over the rest of the year. Simone, for example, gets a few weeks off in the fall, winter, and spring.
That extra time off during the school year can be a good thing. “Everyone thinks a year-round school is hard,” says Simone. “But the little breaks take a lot of pressure (压力) off us.”
Reorganizing the year can prevent summer learning loss — that is, forgetting what you've learned from the prior (之前的) school year. However, there is a downside. In fact, some schools have tried year-round schedules (时间表) only to turn back when it was difficult to carry out. Try setting up a soccer game with another school when you're on a break every few weeks. Planning family trips can be difficult too, especially if siblings (兄弟姐妹) are on different school schedules.
What does summer vacation mean in our culture? It's an American tradition, a time to create lasting memories. But is tradition a good enough reason to keep it around? Summer break began 120 years ago, when it was very hot in the summer, so schools started closing. Today, we have air conditioning. And most parents work. For many kids, summer days are spent mostly indoors, playing video games and watching TV. Clearly the world has changed. Is it time for summer break to change, too?
32. According to the text, Simone Jones _____.
A. suffers from summer heat B. has become tired of going to school
C. studies at a year-round school D. keeps forgetting what she's learned at school
33. In what way are year-round schools different from traditional-calendar schools?
A. The number of vacation days. B. How the holidays are organized.
C. What subjects students may choose. D. When students go to school every day.
34. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 could best be replaced by “_____”.
A. duty B. choice C. danger D. problem
35. In the author's opinion, summer vacation _____.
A. was started in the early 19th century B. is a tradition for people to keep alive
C. doesn't have to be that long any more D. is a good time for kids to enjoy themselves

International tourism is becoming increasingly popular, and large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel (西斯廷教堂) in the Vatican. 36
They've thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage to ancient relics (遗迹).
As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged by people breathing onto them when they visit. 37 That may raise the humidity (湿气) of the air and damage the paintings. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is because of tourists climbing on delicate (脆弱的) areas. Besides, roads have also been built to help visitors climb the Wall easily. These activities can cause a lot of damage to the area.
38 Firstly, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. Secondly, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. 39 People will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks (面罩) to protect the paintings.
In short, it is necessary to control tourism at famous places. 40 And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.
A. For example, special paths can be built.
B. What can we do to deal with these problems?
C. The Great Wall was built over 2,000 years ago.
D. However, these visitors have caused many problems.
E. Traveling is the best way for us to get to know the world.
F. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet.
G. Their breath contains very small drops of water that are present in the air.
