It is the first day of high school. And with it'so often,comes nervousness — especially for students making the leap to high school.

But inside the Theodore Roosevelt High School gym for freshman orientation (迎新会) , at least some of those nerves had turned into excitement.

Juniors and seniors were leading ninth-graders through team-building activities,then walking them through their class schedule. And before they left,students planned on exchanging phone numbers to text questions later on.

The new initiative（行动） is part of a nationally known program called Link Crew,which started at Roosevelt and was adopted as a district-wide high school program this year.

What's unique about this initiative is the yearlong focus on peer mentoring(同龄人指导) that goes far beyond the first few days of lockers that won’t open and classrooms that can't be found.

The idea is to build up friendships and school spirit and encourage ninth-graders to meet new friends or join activities that interest them.

Roosevelt Principal Kevin Biggs said ,“Our freshmen will be more comfortable around peers than they will be around adults."

Groups are designed so students meet individuals with different backgrounds and cultures. And they'11 continue to meet during the school year,attending a football game or school dance together.

The new program is expected to develop friendships and peer-to-peer support,from helping each other through a breakup to talking through concerns about fights with friends.

“A lot of times,students can talk to students about things that they may not feel comfortable talking to an adult about,” said Ally son Vukovich,the district's community partnership coordinator (协调者) .

“It really changes the culture within a building,” she added, “so upperclassmen find some ownership about what goes on in their school."

25. Which word can describe the feeling of the freshmen in Theodore Roosevelt High School?

A. Nervous. B. Afraid.

C. Proud. D. Excited.

26. What do we know about the new initiative?

A. It lasts through a year.

B. It is adopted throughout the US.

C. It was put forward by Kevin Biggs.

D. It paired adult mentors with freshmen.

27. What's the main purpose of the new program?

A. To develop students’ sense of responsibility.

B. To help freshmen adjust to life in high school.

C. To help students learn about different cultures.

D. To teach students how to get along with others.

28. What's Allyson Vukovich’ s attitude towards the new program?

25. D 26. A 27. B 28. D

We often overlook and completely forget how dangerous the game of baseball can be for the players on the field,and even for the fans,who gather very closely as baseballs and bats fly around at the park at terrifying speeds.

Unfortunately,we were hit with a troubling reminder on Friday night at Fenway Park,Boston as one fan reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck in the face by the (击球端) of a broken bat. The scary incident happened because a player hit the ball hard,causing his bat to break at the handle. The broken barrel flew into the stands to the left of home plate (the place that the player has to stand next to in order to hit the ball,and the last place they have to touch to score a point) where it reportedly struck the fan. According to Boston police,the fan was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,where she’s currently receiving treatment for her injuries.

A security guard who witnessed the accident said the woman,who was sitting with her husband and son at the time,suffered serious injuries. Her son sitting near her was terribly frightened. A number of fans witnessed the accident,including Alex Merlas of Brookline. “Brett Lawrie hit the ball and the bat broke in half near the end of the bat,” Metlas said. “It hit the fan on the top of her forehead and there was a lot of bleeding. I don't think I’ve ever seen that much blood."

That game was delayed temporarily so the fan could be transported to an ambulance waiting at one of the gates inside the ballpark. Fans were left shocked and shaken as the stadium crew cleaned up the scene. Players could be seen discussing it as well,as all who witnessed it were obviously affected. Those who were watching the accident wished the woman fan and her family the very best.

In the picture,

Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible(不可思议的) acts of athleticism,but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014,and T ve 42 two that inspired me.

One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbing(蹒跚而行) along the track,far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis was*broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n)45 ski. Wadsworth didn't want Gafarov to finish slowly,hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 .The Canadian skiers were already out of the race,giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski,or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski,48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49,he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.

The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won,2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines,cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazilian defender David Luiz walked over to him,pointed at him,and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriguez 56.

As an athlete,I know it's easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as winning and losing.

Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard,but play fair. And always be nice. It's the right thing to do and it always 60 .

Out of the cold

There are no known cures for colds and the flu,so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 But there are other techniques you can employ as well. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:

Put a box of tissues(纸巾) wherever people sit. Place tissue boxes strategically around the house,at work,and in the car. 37 Then anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria.

Leave the windows open in winter. Not all of them,but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. 38

Add green tea and an apple to your morning break. Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand,found that eating food rich in (类黄酮) could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%.39 Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet.

40 The knuckle(指关节) is less likely to have viruses than your fingertip. The eye provides a perfect entry point for bacteria,and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20-50 times a day,making fingers particularly good at spreading bacteria.

A. It works better than anything else.

B. You need to make them widely available.

C. Use your knuckle to gently rub your eyes.

D. Fresh air does wonders for chasing out bacteria.

E. Never come into direct contact with viruses and bacteria.

F. They are found in green tea,apples,blueberries,red wine and cocoa.

G. When you feel a cough coming,use a tissue,then throw it away immediately.

Mind control Imagine looking at something and being able to move it just by using your brain!That is exactly what the new technology called BrainGate can do 一 with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.

BrainGate is. the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA. BrainGate is attached directly to the brain. First of all,gold wires are put into the part of the brain that controls movement. These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片) . When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip. After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the signals into movements. Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements. BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.

The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probably cost thousands of dollars per person. There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue nd his team. They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the computer at all times. Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who can't move their arms or legs. He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(瘫痪的胳膊或腿) .This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.

This research is attracting the military's (军方的) attention as well. However,it is easy to understand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.

32. What does the underlined word “These” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Wires. B. Brains.

C. Thoughts. D. Movements.

33. According to the text,what is one of BrainGate's disadvantages?

A. It is too expensive.

B. It needs improvement.

C. It is difficult to control.

D. It produces few movements.

34. How will Donoghue help disabled people?

A. By making BrainGate smaller.

B. By developing a wireless version.

C. By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.

D. By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.

35. What does the military think of thought-controlled machines?

A. They could be useful.

B. They could lead to disasters.

C. They would be in mass production.

D. They would face fierce competition.

My best friend Angel and I was riding her brother's four-wheeler. She was driving down a road when all of sudden we hit a sand pile and lost control. Luckily she was okay and I wasn,t. I was knocking unconscious. At first she didn't know how to do but then she heard a truck coming down the road. So she waves down the driver and explained what happened. The man got out of his truck with a second -thought. He rushed over to her and called an ambulance. By that time I was starting to wake up. When I woke up,I saw the man stood over me. I thanked for him. That man was a hero.
