As I got older,I did grow a little bigger,but not a lot bigger.On my 12th birthday,I decided to try a new sport:running. I told Grandpa,“I'm going to be an athlete.” “Dave,”Grandpa began gently,“if you can't be big,you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday.On my 13th birthday,I did it again,but I added an extra mile.On my 14th birthday,I ran 14 miles.15 on my 15th,16 on my 16th,and—you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired(激发) another big dream.Someday,I'd run the Boston Marathon(波士顿马拉松赛).I told Grandpa about my decision. “But,Dave,you haven't trained for the marathon.Are you sure you're ready?”Grandpa asked. But he sill promised to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day.But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital.Later that night,I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,”he said calmly,“you didn't fail.You discovered something.” “I did?”I asked. “Yes,you discovered that big dreams don't just come true.They take work.If you train and work hard,I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day,running miles and miles.Sadly,just two months into my training,Grandpa died.He wouldn't be waiting for my second Boston Marathon.I decided I'd run for him. That day,I ran fast.“Keep going!You can do it!”His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step.As I crossed the finish line,I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa,we did it!” 1.Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team?

However,in many rural(农村)areas or poor regions(地区),people have to wash their clothes by hand,as they don't have electricity to use or money to buy the machines.Now,a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem. The machine is a simpler version(版本)of a traditional washing machine.However,it uses the natural flow of water instead of electricity.It has a wooden rotation shaft(转)in the centre and a bamboo drum(桶)outside. You just put the machine in a river and water will go into the bottom of the machine and rotate the main drum。This creates an eddy(涡 流)that cleans clothes. A 7-member team from the School of Design at Dalian Minzu University created the machine.Their design won the“Best of the Best”prize at the 2020 Red Dot Awards(红点奖).“There are 836 million people living in extreme poverty(极端贫困)in the world.They have to spend lots of time and energy doing little things like washing clothes.We want the bamboo washing machine to help them free up their time so they can do more meaningful things,like fighting poverty,"said Pan Cheng, one of the designers. “The best thing about this machine is that it's cheap and easy to make,”said Yu Yue, another designer.“We give people the rotation shaft and teach them how to set up the machine. They can find bamboo locally and make it into drums.If there is no bamboo,they can also use materials like wood.” The designers said they spent more than half a year working on the machine.They had countless team meetings and changed their design at least four times.But in the end they were happy with the results. 1.The bamboo washing machine was created for people who_. A.live in big cities B.want to save power C.live in the wild D.live in poor regions 2.How does the bamboo washing machine work? ①Put the machine into a river. ②Eddy in the machine cleans clothes. ③Water goes into the bottom of the machine. ④Water in the drum drives the wooden rotation shaft. A.①②③④ B.①③④② C.③①②④ D.③④①② 3.Why did Pan Cheng come up with the idea? A.Bamboo washing machines are eco-friendly. B.He grew up in a rural area without much electricity. C.He thinks washing clothes is not important. D.He wanted to help people in poor areas fight poverty. 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Winning the best prize B.Making rural life easier C.How to fight for the poor D.How to make the machine C Most of us probably have told a lie at one time or another. Some lies are harmful. Some are mostly harmless. Still other lies may even be created with kindness. But whatever kind of lie you tell, it takes surprising brainpower to pull it off. Lying can have unwanted influences too. When you tell the truth,yo think of what you want to say and just say it.However,lying takes much more work- you have to come up with a story and remember it. A lot of that work is done in a brain area called the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层).It's responsible for working memory and executive function(执行功能)tasks such as planning,problem-solving and self-control.Working memory keeps things in mind just for alitle while as you're using them.Executive function comes into play when you use self-control to keep from blurting out(脱口而出)the facts that would uncover your lie.It helps you recall all the details of a lie to make sure that it sounds believable.It also lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you're telling will likely hold up to questioning. Calling on your executive function this way uses up a lot of brainpower.Vendemia,a neuroscientist at the University of South Carolina,did a research and has found that people's mental workload will be heavier and their reaction time longer when they lie.Worse still,when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying,she notes,it has a harder time doing other tasks such as making a study plan or using self-control to keep from spending too much time on computer games. Lying has social influences,too.Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often backfire When you give dishonest praise,you may make your friends feel good at first.But if you do it often enough,they’ll soon learn that they can't trust your praise.People generally value honesty and don't like liars,so if you are viewed as untrustworthy,it can be bad for your relationships. It's widely agreed that nearly all cultures value honesty,and now science is revealing(揭示)how dishonesty influences the brain and your ability to build the trust on which strong relationships depend. So,even when lying doesn't stretch your nose,it still comes at a price that you can't afford. 1.Paragraph 2 is mainly about_ A.why self-control benefits the brain B.what social influences lying can bring C.how the brain works when people lie D.when executive function comes into play 2.What can we learn about lying from the passage? A.Lying improves working memory. B.Covering lies takes much brainpower. C.The nature of lies is decided by the brain. D.People's reaction can be sped up by lying. 3.The underlined word“backfire”in Paragraph 4 probably means“ _”. A.lead to serious accidents B.help to win full support C.build up strong relationships D.have the opposite effect 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Signs of lying B.Costs of lying C.Causes of lies D.Types of lies 四 词汇运用 1 She has devoted all her time to _ (从事) colour therapy since she left college. 2 Life is like a journey with trouble, but with care and _ you can work out any problem you face.

Everyone started getting off the train,and an old woman saw that I was confused(迷惑) and stressed.She could speak some English and told me that an accident had happened on the tracks(轨道).She asked me where I was trying to get to,then went and talked to some workers,and came back to tell me that we'd have to hop(转乘)trains to get there. I was really glad she was heading the same way because it would be impossible for me to figure it out on my own.So we went from one train station to the next,getting to know each other along the way. She was really the sweetest woman.It was a 2.5-hour journey in total,and when we made it to the final destination,we got off and said our goodbyes.I had made it just in time to catch my train to Rome.She told me she had a train to catch as well.I asked her how much farther she had to go,and she told me that her home was two hours back the other way. She had jumped from train to train and travelled the whole way just to make sure that I made it.I was in surprise.A woman spent her whole day sitting on trains and taking her hours away from her home just to help out a confused tourist visiting her country. No matter how many countries I visit,I'll always say the most beautiful country in the world is Switzerland. 1. Which language did the writer learn,German,Italian or French? 2. What wo11d the writer have to do to get to the place he tried to go to? 3. Was the old woman really heading the same way as the writer? 4. How long was the journey in total? 5. What do you think of the old woman? 六 首字母填空 The Nautilus bumped against the ice. We were trapped in the ice. We worked hard.
