The key to success

Once, when I was a young boy, I boasted (吹嘘）that I determined (下决心） to win first place at the coming 13 competition, yet I knew this goal was nearly impossible. Every year， the best players from all over the state took part in this competition. It was a huge deal, especially for a beginner like me.

But my mom was my number one 14 . Every day after school, she would sit down right next to me while Miss Green was giving me piano lessons or I was 15 my piano piece. When I couldn’t and wouldn’t play any longer, she would always say, “If you determine to win, then act like it. Don’t give up.’’ After every practice，my whole body was in pain for numb (麻木的） fingers and stiff (僵硬的）back. However, I didn’t want to 16 my mom, so I kept on practicing until I finally fell asleep on the piano keys.

Finally, the big day arrived. Right before my turn to perform, my mom said, “ I know you want to win, so listen to me： Be there for the 17 not for the success, okay?” I managed to nod.

When I walked onto the stage, I was afraid that the judges would hear the beating of my heart instead of the music. Carefully, I took a seat before the piano and began to play. Slowly, I began to 18 the world around me. I just let myself fall deeper and deeper into the music.

19，I really won first place. The experience made me realize that determination is not just saying that you will win； when you have solved difficulties and kept 20，you can truly say you’re determined. As my mom always said, “It’s hard to beat the person who is the best, but it is harder to beat the person who never gives up.

I walked home with my friend Jerry after school. He waved（挥手）

goodbye and headed off to his house. When I was walking alone，I suddenly

noticed a boy in front of me. He was carrying some of the same school books as

mine.

He seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice，but I couldn't

understand the words. I caught up to him，and said“Hello there". He was

surprised，and dropped one of his books. I picked it up and handed it to him.

He said“Thank you" in a strange way, like with a strong accent（口音）．

"Your science book is just like mine.”

"Oh, yes it is，”he said

We soon began walking together and chatting. It turned oat he was in my

science class，and I didn't even know it！His name was Ahmad，and his family

had just moved here this school year. Ahmad was a hard name to pronounce

correctly, but just about the time we reached his house, I could say it quite

easily.

He invited me into his house, and it seemed like a much better choice than

to head right home to start my homework. His family treated me like a special

guest. He said in his culture，strangers were always treated very kindly. His

mom brought out some great snacks，and offered me some tea. Ahmad's father

and two sisters wanted to hear all about me，my family，and my schooling

But their story opened up a whole new world for me！Ahmad's family had

to leave their lifelong home because of the war. They left with only what they

could carry. His family was happy to feel safe here, and they seemed pleased

that Abroad brought a friend home.

of Life"

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual (TE拟的）reality (VIO headset-it took Taylor and her classmates to a farm 250 miles away. For students，the technology means field trips are no longer limited by the length of a bus ride.“I was not expecting it to be right in my face！”That's what Taylor said after taking off the headset and finding herself back in the classroom.

On any school day, students can take virtual reality “trips". They are

deep-sea diving. They are observing medical operations. They are visiting the

Science Museum in London. Teachers say it's another way to involve the iPhone

generation（一代人）into classroom learning and it can help with their

understanding and improve their grades. Calm Jones, a science teacher, has

walked students through the northern forest with a Google app called

Expeditions.“It can be done in a period or two with the help of the new

technology,，，he said. "But it could take even a week sometimes to take a real

expedition.’，

"It's different from watching videos. You can actually move"，Taylor said

during the lesson on farm animals. "Not only move, but also feel,，，said Richard

Lamb. He studies how brains deal with information.“Your physiological

responses（生理反应）in virtual reality are similar to what you get in doing the

actual activity.”Lamb said.“Heart rate, breathing．～everything.”

It is unknown how many classrooms will use the technology. But experts

say it's still rare. Each headset can cost as little as＄20 or＄30，but systems

and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. And good software is in

great need. Another problem we face is how to make sure the VR technology

mimics（模仿）the real world closely. "But we have to say VR technology

provides students with a huge learning opportunity,”said David Evans, director

of the National Science Teachers Association.

John Miller, a chemistry teacher，agreed. "Too often in schools, students

did something wrong in their chemistry experiments. But we don't have enough

materials for them to redo the experiments. In virtual reality, all they do is hit

reset on the computer. We don't have to actually use chemicals.”

Both Miller and Evans stressed the technology could enrich-not replace-

real-world experiences. "We have to remain anchored（立足）in the real

world,”Evans warned, "because that's the one that we really need to study and

explain.”

27. On a February afternoon, Taylor

A. travelled to a farm on a bus

B. watched a video about a cow

C. had a virtual reality lesson in the classroom

D. played computer games with her classmates

28. What can we learn from the passage?

A. VA technology is widely used in schools.

B. Teachers think VR technology helpful for students.

C. Colin Jones' students prefer a real trip to the forest.

D. Students breathe faster in VR activities than in actual ones.

29. Miller and Evans probably agree that

A. people shouldn't lose interest in the real world

B. people should develop more VR systems and software

C. VR technology won't change students' way of learning

D. VR technology will reduce students' mistakes in experiments

Arkansas may give up the BMI program or weaken it with the help of the

new governor, who said it had "a lot of negative, unexpected results".

The number of overweight children in the United States has more than

doubled in the past 20 years. Being seriously overweight can lead to health

problems later in life. As a result，Arkansas first started the BMI program in

2004-public schools were required to provide parents with a yearly report of

their children's body mass index（BMI），a number to show whether their

weight is appropriate(合适的）．Along with students' BMIs, parents also

received information on health risks of being overweight.

A study shows that obesity肥胖）rates in Arkansas have stopped

increasing since 2004. But not everyone supports schools in reporting students'

BMIs. Some parents have complained their kids worry that they are being

"graded" on their weight，although Dr. Joe Thompson, who helped plan the

BMI program，gave the explanation at the start of the program, "Just like a

school check for vision or hearing, this is a way to raise awareness（意识）about

a health risk.，，

Critics argue that telling parents their children weigh too much could hurt

children's self-esteem（自尊）．Some also question whether it's the role of

schools to monitor students' weight. Dr. Nancy Krebs, a nutrition expert，also

thinks obesity report cards aren't good enough. "They're making kids feel bad

about how they are，”she says.“Instead of focusing on kids' BMIa, schools

should provide better health and physical education classes and serve healthier

foods.，，

However, supporters of the program say overweight children have had

self-esteem problems before their parents get obesity report cards. Dr. Karen

Young at Arkansas Children's Hospital says, "The overweight kids are already

being teased（被嘲弄）．It doesn't take the letter for them to feel bad.，，

Health experts from the University of Arkansas think it would be a pity to

stop the BMI program. They see the program as a wake-up call for families and

the letter is spurring some major action on some parents. Danita Thomas said she

knew her son Irie was too heavy. But since getting that first BMI report，Irie

has lost nearly 100 pounds and given up junk food. "It was helpful，”she said.

"It made me realize that we needed to do something different.，，

The BMI reports and other steps, such as limits on vending machine（自动

售货机）use at school, are leading to healthier students. If there was no BMI

program, there should be other effective tools to get schools and parents

involved with preventing children from becoming overweight adults.

30. What might be the purpose of the BMI program in Arkansas?

A. To make the schools realize the importance of health education.

B. To warn parents of health risks of overweight children.

C. To drive parents to learn more knowledge on health.

D. To explain why some students gain weight quickly.

31. Dr. Nancy Krebs believes that

A. overweight students are usually laughed at by classmates

B. schools should teach students how to lead a healthy life

C. overweight students usually get low grades at school

D. schools should do the job to record students' weight

32. The words “spurring some major action on some parents" in Paragraph 6

probably mean“

A. keeping some parents from worries

B. encouraging some parents to make changes

C. helping some parents learn from other families

D. supporting some parents in expressing their opinions

33. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. What schools should report to parents.

B. How schools can care about overweight students.

C. Why schools should help students control their weight.

D. Whether schools should report students' BMIs to parents.

Rooftop Gardens

Have you ever seen a rooftop garden-a garden on the top of a roof? Many people are

finding it good for the environment and good for themselves.

Cities can be as much as 4-10 degrees warmer than the countryside. Green rooftops

can actually help cool the air in cities. A single green roof will not do much to

change the temperature of a city. However, when more buildings begin to

change their rooftops into green spaces, it makes a real difference. Buildings

that are cooler also use air conditioning less often. This reduces the amount of

energy a building uses, which is good for the environment. Cities are usually

more polluted than other areas. Plants on rooftops can even help clean the air.

Gardens in the city can also provide a place for birds and bugs to live in.

One unusual rooftop garden is located above Children's Hospital in

St. Louis, Missouri. The garden covers an area of 7，500 square feet. The

garden has flowers, fountains（喷泉），even a goldfish pond, and also paths that

children can walk on in slippers or with bare feet. It is used as a place for the

children and their parents to relax and be close to nature without leaving the

hospital. Another interesting garden is on the rooftop of the Royal York Hotel

in Toronto, Canada. A large vegetable garden has been planted on the roof.

The hotel's chefs（厨师）can pick fresh vegetables from the roof.

Now not all buildings have rooftop gardens. One reason is that rooftop

gardens can be more expensive than traditional rooftops. However, they may

save on heating and cooling bills in the future. Also，a roof needs to be flat and

strong enough to support the weight of the garden.

Some people may not know about rooftop gardens and how good they can

be for the environment. But word is starting to get out. You may want to keep

your eyes on the skies when you walk in your town or city. You never know

when you might find a secret garden many feet above the ground.

34. What is a rooftop garden?

35. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

36. What is the rooftop garden in Children's Hospital in St. Louis used as?

37. Why is the rooftop garden of the Royal York Hotel interesting?

38. Why don't all buildings have rooftop gardens?
