20．Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team．It was the final quarter．The score was two to one，my son's team in the lead．Parents surrounded the playground，offering encouragement．
With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing（回响）across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted（爆发）．O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal，ending the game in a tie．For a moment there was a total hush．You see，Mickey has Down syndrome （唐氏综合症） and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored．
The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored．Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him．
Later that night，when my daughter asked who had won，I smiled as I replied，"It was a tie．Everybody won．"

11．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride，and half the time they'll say，"Sorry，my car is full．"But with Twitter，you just tweet#AshleysPoolParty and look for other people heading the same way．
It may sound risky，but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter．For me，I only rideshare with people I know，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）．It allows people to access more goods and services using technology，while also allowing them to share cost．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom．
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license．Today it's six in ten．So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license．All I wanted was an iPhone．Juliet Schor （Sociology professor at Boston College） knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．
To me，another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．
66．The writer usually rideshares withB．
A．anyone heading the same way      B．people he knows
C．friends of friends               D．strangers of his age
67．Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves becauseD．
A．driving means offering free rides to others．
B．getting a driving license becomes more difficult．
C．driving one's own cars causes a negative impression．
D．driving makes them disconnected from technology．
68．We can conclude from the passage thatC
A．the writer rideshares just to save money
B．people under 18 are not allowed to drive
C．silver Super Beetle is the writer's favorite
D．the older generation had to fight for freedom
69．Which is the best title for the passage？A
A．Teens use Twitter to thumb rides．
B．Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing．
C．Car is no longer a gateway to freedom．
D．New generation knows how to save money．
8．A．How much sleep you need 
Sleep cycles & stages，lack of sleep．
Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind．
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood，energy，efficiency and ability to handle stress．
B．Panic attacks and panic disorder
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear．Left untreated，panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems．They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities．But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps，the better．
C．How to stop worrying
Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing，not motivating or productive．Worrying can be，when it spurs you to take action，helpful to solve a problem．You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief．
D．Generalizes anxiety disorder
Everyone gets worried sometimes，but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder （GAD），worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax．
E．What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs
Under guidance from a health professional，medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety，but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety．Medication doesn't cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution．Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns，including the risk of addiction．
F．Understanding stress
Modern life is full of hassles，deadlines，frustrations，and demands．For many people，stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life．Stress isn't always bad．In small doses，it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best．But when you're constantly running in emergency mode，your mind and body pay the price．

15．The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean．It was one of the poorest nations in the region．Within the last five years，however，it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers．In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth．The reason is not that Vanuatu are the richest but that Vanuatu has white-sand islands，clear waters，the world's most accessible live volcano，great diving and food that grows faster than it can be picked．
With a population of about 221，000，Vanuatu has 113 languages，which is a result of 3，000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries．There are three official languages：English，French，and Bislama．Bislama developed from South Pacific English，a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages．
Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin．There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu，including Yasur on the island of Tanna，one of the world's most accessible volcanoes．If you've ever fancied getting close to a volcano，here's your chance．
Vanuatu Post's Underwater Post Office has quickly become one of the busiest post offices for postcards in the world!Visitors from around the world want to experience the world's first underwater post office．The Post Office is only 50 meters offshore and at just three meters below the surface，very appealing to the young and young at heart．Since opening in 2003，the underwater post office has received about 100，000 visitors．They have posted one of the waterproof（防水的）postcards available in Vanuatu； these cards are collected regularly by one of Vanuatu Post's four trained divers．The underwater branch is manned daily for usually about an hour，longer with demand．

5．While I was in 9 th grade，I built a circuit （电路装置） for the traffic system of our city．After getting the first prize．I got this valuable advice from my father；"Do whatever interests you，and don't let the work challenge you，make sure you are challenging that work．"
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems．I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago．I divided the whole project into several small sections．When I understood it clearly，used my brainstorming skill on it，and gave some basic ideas．Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding （编码）．At first，I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question"How do I do it？"As I  kept working and discussed with my professor，I became more comfortable and those"how"questions soon turned into"what if I do this and that"types of questions．
It took me four days to write the code．The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details．Every time I saw my program running smoothly，I exploded with joy．I still remember the last day of my work．I was getting some problem and didn't know what to do．At that moment，a man came in to clean．He has headphones，and he was dancing while cleaning the room．Seeing this，I burst out laughing．That moment calmed me．I regained energy and interest and started to work again，and soon I fixed the problem．
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution．Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial．Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project．

12．When I was in junior high school，I was really a bad boy．My history teacher-Mr Oven criticized me a lot because I was naughty in his class．By the end of the first semester，I'd had enough of his words and had decided that I would get my revenge on him．
The opportunity arose one morning when Mr．Oven was called to the office for a certain reason．While Mr．Oven left，my company Billy and I grabbed Mr．Oven's lunch bag from under his desk．I opened his sandwich and placed a bug in between the two slices of bread．We put it back and closed it．To keep it in memory，Billy took photos of the whole process．We laughed for weeks over this．
Well，it all went south during Thanksgiving break．Billy's mother found the pictures in his room，and demanded that he should tell her where these pictures were from．Billy told his mother the whole story，and Mr．Oven was informed．Not only was I punished from school for two weeks，but also I was kicked off the football and basketball team．Before I could return to school，I had to turn in a 1000-word essay on what I did and why I did that．I really felt embarrassed every time I saw Mr．Oven in the hallway for the rest of the school year．I felt a little regret that Mr．Oven left our school the next year．

9．There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours-----you don't need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired．
Scientists have long assumed that willpower （意志力） is a limited resource，which is why you feel the need to have a rest，have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better．They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest，food or entertainment．
But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is all in your head．They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise．"If you think of willpower as something that's limited，you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task，"said Prof．Veronika Job．"'But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up，you can go on and on．"
The researchers designed four experiments to test students'beliefs in willpower．After a tiring task，those，who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource，performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over．They also found that leading up to final exam week，students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation （诱惑）．
Mr．Job said．"The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting，but it has had unintended consequences．Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited，and they need to take frequent breaks．But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges．'"
The findings could help people who are battling temptation．Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think．The belief in it is what influences your behavior．

32．The theory that willpower is limited supports thatC．
A．people must eat snacks when they feel tired
B．there's no way to strengthen people's willpower
C．people do need a break to restore their willpower
D．weak willpower doesn't affect people's life much

A．It is in the charge of people．
B．There is no way to restore willpower．
C．It is a limited resource．
D．It doesn't easily run out．
34．Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams？D
A．Push themselves even if they want to take a break．
B．Don't eat fast food while studying．
C．Stay in a comfortable and quiet place．
D．Remind themselves willpower is not limited．
35．What does the passage want to tell us？B
A．How to build strong willpower             B．A new theory about willpower
C．The great influence of willpower          D．Willpower doesn't last long．
10．An astronaut is required to make some repairs to the outside of the International Space Station．After a successful repair，the astronaut finishes the task．Unfortunately，a tool flies off into space．The tool has now become space junk，high-speed pieces of objects（物体） going around the Earth at 17，000 kilometers per hour．
While humans produce an unbelievable amount of waste on Earth，we might not think too much about space junk．But NASA says there are probable millions of objects，both small and large，going around the Earth in a giant cloud of junk．
Space junk got its start in the middle of the twentieth century，at the very beginning of the space race，when satellite began to be launched to go into orbit （轨道） around the Earth．So far，space junks include waste spaceships and waste spaceship parts，rocket fuel containers and even pieces of paint．Believe or not，there are millions of tiny pieces of paint floating around Earth's orbit．Heat or crashes usually cut off paint from spaceship and turn them into space junk．Because there are so many objects flying around up there，there's concern that crashes between space junks will only produce more of them．Scientists are worried this is already happening．
Anything travelling at a high speed in space would cause a considerable amount of damage to a spaceship if a direct hit happened．Even a small piece of paint is capable of making a quarter-inch hole into the window of a space station．The good news for astronauts is that most space junk is located between 550 and 625 miles above the Earth--the International Space Station flies in orbit at 250 miles high，while spaceships usually only reach 375 miles above the Earth．Space programs are also working on rocket designs that limit the amount of space junk produced during a launch．
For those of us on the Earth，is there a possibility that space junk could fall back to the ground？Everything in orbit will finally be pulled back down by Earth's gravity-when that happens depends on how high the object is and how fast it's going．The higher the object is，the longer the object will take to fall．These objects could stay in orbit for thousands of years．As for the risks of getting hit on the head，fortunately，most objects burn up on their way back to the Earth，and no one has ever been killed by space junk．
44．Where is space junk from？D
A．Pieces from satellites．
B．Fuel coming from rockets．
C．Waste from the space station．
D．Spaceships that no longer work．
45．What are scientists worried about space junk？C
A．It may rub off the spaceship's outside paint．
B．It may be pulled back by gravity and hurt people．
C．More space junks will probably be produced in crashes．
D．The space station's windows may be blocked by space junk．
46．Where is the passage probably taken from？C
A．Astronauts'travel diary．
B．Scientists'research report．
C．Popular science magazine．
D．Adventure novel．
