B
My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
     Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. "Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best." Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. "You will do something great." He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. "Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?" 
     A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered
question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear－as mine was until my father's letter－is of being a disappointment. 
     Give your children permission to succeed. They're writing for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me. That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts, "Don't worry; you'll do something great." Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

24. We learn from the text that the author _____.  
A. asked his father's permission to believe in himself
B. worked hard before he read his father's letter 
C. lost his father when he was young 
D. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do
25. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?
A. His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents.
B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.
C. His children's fear of failure held them back. 
D. Children need their parents' letters. 
26. Which of the following is true of the author?
A. He got no access to success. 
B. He was sure his parents loved him. 
C. He wrote back to his father at 12. 
D. He once asked his father about the letter.
27. The main purpose of the text is to _____.
A. describe children's thinking 
B. answer some questions children have 
C. stress the importance of communication
D. advise parents to encourage their children

C
Almost Human?
Scientists are racing to build the world’s first thinking robot. This is not science fiction: some say they will have made it by the year 2020. Carol Packer reports.
Machines that walk, speak and feel are no longer science fiction. Kismet is the name of an android which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored. Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids- robots that look like human beings- which can imitate human feelings. Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother. However, scientists admit that so far Cog has the mental ability of a two-year-old.
The optimists say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids with brains similar to those of an adult human being. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut, a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan, scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.
Some people worry about what the future holds: will robots become monsters(怪物）？ Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computers, connected to the Internet, in the future. People will have micro-chips in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets(小装置). Perhaps we should not exaggerate (夸大）the importance of technology, but one wonders whether, in years to come, we will still be falling in love, and whether we will still feel pain. Who knows?

28. Kismet is different from traditional robots because _________________.
A. it is able to show human feelings
B. it is made in the MIT, USA
C. it is the first modern robot
D. it is able to express its own feelings
29. The underlined word “one “in the last paragraph refers to ___________.
A. some experts B. people in general
C. some scientists D. the writer himself
30. It can be inferred from this passage that _________________.
A. robots will take the place of human beings in future
B. the importance of technology has been exaggerated
C. scientists have designed different kinds of robots
D. robots might be a helper or a danger

He told the schoolgirls, “All I 41 is that you try your best; 42 you can achieve a victory is unimportant. I want you to keep 43 , as a member of this team, to develop your skills.”
At the 44 practice on Monday, Hannah was standing on the field, not 45 what she was supposed to be doing, when the coach yelled, “Hannah --- I can see that you’re 46 what you should do. Good attitude!” Hannah was 47 .
Two days later, she ran for a ball, tried to kick it, and 48 it entirely. The coach said, “Good girl, I like your initiative（积极性）. Keep it up.”
That Friday, Hannah decided to go for a ball, ran hard, gave it a kick, 49 , and eventually fell heavily to the ground. She was extremely 50 . The coach shouted, “See that, girls? That’s the kind of effort
