18．When I was in my fourth year of teaching，I was also （and am still） a high school track and field coach（田径教练）．One year，I had a student，John，who entered my class when he was a junior．John changed to our school from Greece，and seemed to be interested in sports，so I encouraged him to join our track team．I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before，I did believe that he could do well in any event，and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him．He accepted the offer，and began to work hard at every practice．
About a month later，I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player，winning vaious junior awards in his home country．I went to him asking，"John，I really appreciate that you came out for the track team，but why didn't you play tennis instead？It seems that would interest you a lot more，since you're so good at it．"John answered，"Well，I like tennis，but you told me that you believed in me，and that you thought I could do well in track，so I wanted to try it for that reason．"
From then on，I often remember my student's reply．I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers．No matter how critical （不满的） students can be of them-selves，I've found that a simple"I trust that you can do it!"can go a long way!

19．Long time ago，（61）an  emperor of China wanted to get a painting of roosters．So he asked a famous painter（62）who/that  was good at painting flowers and（63）birds （ bird） to paint a rooster for him．He wanted the rooster to be the（64）best  （good） among all his collections．
The painter promised （65）to do （do） so．Then，the emperor waited and waited for one year，but he didn't get the picture．Finally，the emperor became（66）angry  （anger） and wanted to kill the painter．（67）Knowwing  （know） the shocking news，the painter hurried into the palace with paper，paint，and a brush．Within five minutes，a perfect rooster appeared on the paper．
After seeing this，the emperor became much angrier．"Since you can paint a rooster in five minutes，why did you keep me（68）waiting  （wait） for over a year？"he asked．
The painter invited the emperor to his house．There，the emperor saw piles and piles of paper．On every piece of paper （69）was  （be） a painting of a rooster．"Your Majesty （陛下），"said the painter，"（70）It took me more than a year to improve my painting skill so that I can paint a perfect rooster for you．"

3．How man first learned to invent words is unknown：in other words，the origin（起源）of language is a mystery．All we really know is that man，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other； and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which could be written down．These sounds，whether spoken or written in letter，we call words．The power of words，then lies in their connection-the things they bring up before minds．

13．The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated（隔绝）and inactive．
Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．
These include custom-made navigation（导航） tools，night vision systems and intelligent
speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains："For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．"
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．"
Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems．
"For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解决方案） to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．"

27．What is the purpose of the Drivel AB？C
A．To explore newmeans of transport．
B．To design new types of cars．
C．To find out older driver′s problems．
D．To teach people traffic rules．
28..Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？A
A．It keeps them independent．
B．It helps them save time．
C．It builds up their strength．
D．It cures their mental illnesses．
29．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？B
A．Improve their driving skills．
B．Develop driver-assist technologles．
C．Provide tips on repairing their cars．
D．Organize regular physical checkups
30．What is the best title for the text？B
A．A new Model Electric Car
B．A Solution to Traffic Problem
C．Driving Service for elders
D．Keeping Older．

18．The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward，the risk seems worth taking．（36）F Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us．Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work．
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans．Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring．（37）C As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk．
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well，even 200，000 years ago，too much risk-taking could get one killed．A few daring survived，though，along with a few stay-in-the-cave types．As a result，humans developed a range of character types that still exists today．So maybe you love car racing，or maybe you hate it．（38）A
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range，scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years．（39）ETo help you do that，your brain increases your hunger for new experiences．New experiences often mean taking some risks，so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well．
（40）G For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active，while for the rest of us，a part of the brain related to fear becomes active．
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking，we'll continue to hit the mountains，the waves or the shallow end of the pool．

A．It all depends on your character．
B．Those are the risks you should jump to take．
C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival．
D．Thus，these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest．
E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world．
F．However，we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards．
G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation．
19．Our generalprinciple （原则） is that education should be available to all children up to the age of 16．
