From a young age, I had a strong feeling of who I would become—but an accident changed everything. For me, skating was more important than anything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much happiness. I spent 24 hours a week developing my skills. I had no social life or interests except skating. And I got the first place in nearly every match. Unluckily, during one match, I fell and was badly hurt. The doctor told me that I couldn’t skate anymore. The pain in my back was hard to bear and even everyday life became difficult. The accident took away all of my happiness and success. I lost heart and had no idea who I would become. After being in great pain for eight months, something had to change. I didn’t sit around and waste my days any longer. I began to work for the local community. By volunteering as a swimming coach and summer reading teacher for kids, I got an idea of who I wanted to become. After a few months, I found a new interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the pain and rebuilt my confidence. Sometimes, challenges in life will get in our way. We can choose to stay behind or try to get past these challenges.

Li Shizhen studied for the exams and passed the country—level examination, but he was never able to pass the imperial (皇家的) examination. When he was 38, he saved the son of the Prince of Chu and was invited to be an official in that court (宫廷). A few years later, he became an official at the Imperial Medical Institute. Even though he realized his father’s dream, he didn’t want to continue working for the court. One year later, he left the court and returned to be a doctor again. Li Shizhen was famous for his book, Compendium of Materia Medica (《本草纲目》). He spent 27 years writing the book. Unluckily, Li Shizhen died before the book was officially came out.

But did you know that apes (大猩猩) also do this? According to a new study, we have found this kind of behavior (行为) in animals for the first time. Many animals greet each other, but they don’t say “goodbye” like apes do. Scientists studied over 1,200 apes. Of course, they don’t say “What’s up?” like we do. They use body language. For example, they will touch each other or hold hands. They might also butt (顶) heads or just look at each other. They do these things both before and after they spend time together. These greetings will be shorter if the apes already know each other. Humans do this too. Scientists say that the common ancestors (共同祖先) of apes and humans might have done this as well. Then they passed down the habit to both of us. Apes can do many things just like us. Here’s a list of some their “human” behaviors. ①Make tools to help them finish tasks ②Eat junk food when they’re unhappy ③Recognize faces ④Beg for food ⑤Laugh out loud. 36．What does the new study show? A．Apes say “hi” and “bye” like humans. B．Animals don’t greet each other. C．Animal behavior is hard to study. D．Apes enjoy saying “goodbye” to other animals. 37．Why do some apes use shorter greetings? A．Because they don’t like each other. B．Because they want to save time. C．Because they are lazy sometimes. D．Because they already know each other. 38．Apes can do many things just like us because ________. A．apes like to make friends with humans B．greetings are important to animals C．apes and humans have the common ancestors D．humans learned to greet each other from apes 39．From this passage, we can infer ________. A．apes can make stone knives to cut things B．apes will eat junk food when they are happy C．apes can ask for food when they are hungry D．apes will laugh out loud when they are happy 40．Which special column can we probably read the passage?
