In 2016 he graduated from high school with the support of a loving family and the help of teachers and friends.He began to write a book covering one of his favourite things, zombies.A year later he completed his book and one of his former teachers assisted him in finding a publishing company.He submitted his book to the company, Covenant Books, for the very first time and they decided to publish it.In late 2017 The Human Apocalypse was published and is now being sold in most bookshops.Aaron now has overcome a life of people not accepting him and is pursuing his dream while influencing others to do the same.

Twelve years ago, Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John.The 7yearold was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症).Unable to speak, he withdrew from people at school and, worse, from his family.
In March 2003, Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock, a oneonone therapist(治疗师) for people with autism.Hancock was hired to be John's companion.The two would go peoplewatching at the mall on the weekend.Hancock chatted throughout their trips, even though John couldn't talk back.
Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics.Whenever John was running or being active, he was smiling.
When John turned 12, Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympics.For the first three years, the pair just observed the sport by watching practices and events.Hancock worked daily with John, showing him everything, including where to sit, stand and walk, so he would understand the flow of the events.
Eventually, the lessons clicked, and John was off doing 50meter sprints.But as John got older, he got stronger and faster.At 16, he was jumping hurdles and doing 800meter races.Miller started seeing her son as a serious athlete.
In May 2014, John's training brought him to the Special Olympics State Summer Games in Orlando.The 18yearold was competing in the 800 meters and the 110meter hurdles.
As the 800 was setting up, Miller remembered, she pressed her face against the fence, anxiously waiting for John to compete.But as soon as the race started, all Miller saw was an athlete, her athlete.
“I just wanted to see the best performance.It seemed much more significant than whether he would ever speak or respond to me,” she said.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 1 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables.I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time.Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 2 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet.He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him.He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 incash (现金). 3
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
4 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it.But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 5 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
A.He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet.
B.Later I thought about it again.
C.To my surprise, he took out a twentydollar bill and handed it to me.
D.So I didn't return the wallet until the owner returned.
E.I wanted to be honest, so I didn't care much about money.
F.I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G.For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在一家餐馆当出纳员时的一段经历。在圣诞前夜,作者在一个桌子上发现一个钱包,没有打开,主人回来寻找时归还给了他,主人给了作者20美元作为酬劳,说这是他应该得到的。作者反思这件事,怀疑自己在知道了钱包里的东西后是否还会诚实。同时考虑到,通过寻找和归还钱包挽救了一个人的圣诞计划给作者的感觉比能够买到任何东西还值得。
1.F [空格上文讲述“我在一家餐馆当出纳员”,下文I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables.讲述我发现在一个桌子附近有一个大的黑色钱包。因此推断F项“很忙的时候我也帮助清理桌子”符合语境,后来发现了钱包。故选F。]
2.A [空格上文说一个小时后,一个人来到柜台边,下文我请他描述丢失了的钱包,因此推断空格处说的是这个人看起来很着急问是否有人发现了一个钱包。故选A。]
3.C [空格上文描述这个人立刻打开了它,发现有近800美元现金在里面,下文描述这个人说“你诚实的一点酬劳”,他说着然后转身离开。因此推断空格处是他拿出一张20美元的钞票递给我。故选C。]
4.B [空格下文描述我开始想知道如果我知道了钱包里的东西是否还会诚实,因此推断空格处选B项“后来我再次想起这件事”,故选B。]
5.G [空格下文描述它给我的感觉比能够买到任何东西还值得。因此推断G项“很长一段时间以来,每当我想起这件事,我都很高兴。”the good feeling指的是上文提到的“我很高兴”的感觉。故选G。]
