11．At thirteen，I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder．It made school difficult for me．When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not．
In my first literature class，Mrs．Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes．I raised my hand right away and said，"Mrs．Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems．I might not be able to do it．"
She glanced down at me through her glasses，"You are no different from your classmates，young man．"
I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang．I had to take it home．
In the quietness of my bedroom， the story suddenly all became clear to me．It was about a blind person，Louis Braille．He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education．But Louis didn't give up．Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots（点），which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind．
Wasn't I the"blind"in my class，being made to learn like the"sighted"students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance．I completed the task within 40minutes．Indeed，I was no different from others； I just needed a quieter place．If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up？
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs．Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an"A"on it．At the bottom of the paper were these words："See what you can do when you keep trying？"

10．Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money，and time．（36）B Money is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat．So think ahead of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials already？（37）G
2．Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？（38）C It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．
3．（39）A This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．

A．Try new things．

D．Understand your food better．
E．Cooking is a burden for many people．

9．Most teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night．But many teens have trouble sleeping．Lack of sleep can affect sports performance，increase our chances of getting sick，and may be linked to weight gain in some people．How can we get sleep we need？Here are some ideas：
●（16）A You've probably noticed how much running around kids do-and how soundly they sleep．Take a tip from a little child and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day．Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed．Just don't work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up．
●Avoid alcohol and drugs．Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed，but that's not the case．Drugs and alcohol disturb sleep．（17）C
●Say goodnight to electronics．（18）D You'd better make your bedroom a tech-free zone，at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out．
●Keep a sleep routine．Going to bed at the same time every night helps sleep．（19）E So you can relax by reading，listening to music or spending time with a pet．
●Expect a good night's sleep．（20）F Say，"Tonight，I will sleep well"several times during the day．It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle yoga poses before bed．

B．Do some extreme sports．
C．Either of them will make a person wake up at night．
D．Expert recommend using the bedroom for sleep only．
E．Creating a set bedtime procedure can improve this relaxation effect．

G．You can consult a doctor who will give you suggestions on how to sleep well．

8．Deliberately making a road icy sounds like a method for disaster，but in 16^th-century China it helped things run smoothly．Repairs to the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1557 called for huge stones from a quarry（采石场） more than 70km away．The biggest was the 300-ton"Large Stone Carving．"Such stones were too heavy for any cart，and too fragile for rollers．The builders adopted a wise alternative approach to carry the heavy stone．
The dug a series of wells，spaced a few hundred metres apart，along the route to the quarry．Then，in the depth of winter，when temperatures reached around-4C，buckets of water were poured on to the dirt track，transforming it into an ice road．
The stone blocks were pushed along the road on wooden sledges （雪橇）．Modern engineers have calculated that it would take 1，500 workers to drag a sledge on the dirt road，but ony 300on ice．Ancient tests suggested the ice was made slippery with more water； this reduced the friction further and just 50 men could pulla sledge．This technique only works when the temperature is also close to zero，otherwise the film of water freezes too quickly．
The researchers at Princeton University estimated that the blocks could be moved at six metres a minute，and the journey could be completed in 28 days．This would be well before the spring when the ice would melt．
It was once suggested that similar ice-sledges transported Stonehenge stones，but the ground that had a lot of holes and comparatively mild conditions probably rule this out．

8．Why did people dig some wells along the road to the quarry？A

B．They poured more water on the ice road．
C．They waited until the temperature was very low．
D．They asked more than 1，500 workers to clean the dirty road．
10．How did the researchers at Princeton University think of Stonehenge stones？A
A．They were not likely to be carried on the icy road．
B．They had a longer history than stones in Beijing．
C．They were carried for over twenty-eight days．
D．They were broken up in the depth of winter．
11．What does the author intend to tell us in the the text？D
A．Making a road slippery on purpose may be bad idea．
B．The mild weather helped to carry Stonehenge stones．
C．Stonehenge stones were too heavy to carry．
D．Ancient Chinese transported huge stones wisely．

4．It was at her company's annual picnic that my mother met my father，and he walked her home．The next week，from his home in Chicago，he sent her a post card：Remember me please．Do be calling you one of these days．--David．
She still has that post card．I am not sure what made her save．Though he already had his heart set on her，she hadn't chosen him yet，at least not consciously．
My father，a salesman for a big electronics company，often told us while we were growing up，it was blind luck that he was at the picnic that day．He was in town to meet with clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to make a call．It was the manager of a local radio station where my mother worked as a writer．"Dave!Glad you're in town!"he said，and invited him to come right over to their annual picnic．Later my mother dated him when he was in town．Eventually，one night a few months later，she woke her mother and told her she was going to marry Dave．A few months after the wedding，my father was transferred east．They settled in New York，in the house where I grew up．
Sometimes I think how time gets us together and puts us in a certain place where we're faced with one option or another．We leave behind while others live by the choice we made．We could have lived full of different passions and joys，different problems and disappointments．Sometimes，particularly when I came home late to a sleeping house，my husband and daughter curled around each other．I think about the lives we would not have had if choices had brought us to a different place．And I tremble at the thought that I might have missed this life，this man，this child，this love．
