Sometimes even the smallest conversation with someone can change how you think for me. IT happened last sunday, twice a week. I ran through the park by my house. There is an open area in the park with a beautiful lake in the middle. Sometimes I can see turtle swim in the lake. The last couple of weeks I had noticed an old lady sitting on a bench with some turtles. My curious nature finally made me approach her, and I asked her what he was doing. SHE told me SHE was cleaning off the tiny plant life from the turtles shells. He said that IT builds up and prevents their shells from being healthy and strong. Apparently, SHE had been doing this once a week for the last year. I also learned that even though this lake was not polluted, this was a common problem for turtles. I was amazed that this lady's commitment to helping out these helpless animals. So I ask her, if what you say is true, then how will this really matter? In the end, SHE carefully set a turtle free back into the lake and watched IT swim away. I like to think that every little bit of help counts, and I think if they could talk, they would say that matters to them.

A
Dear John,
Thank you for your letter which I received two days ago. You said that you had difficulty in keeping your mind on anything at school now.
第二部分
29
Summer is amazing but the memories have already faded. Backtoschool is to some extent okay, but only for about a week. Now you're so bored and mentally tired that all you can think about is making it through to winter break.
Why is it that we spend most of our time in school daydreaming about getting out? I suppose it's because we think that whatever lies beyond school is more fun and less demanding, and that once we're out, the “good times” will truly begin. But for some students, getting out of school means even more school, while for others it means getting a job. So what really changes? If what's happening around us stays pretty much the same (deadlines, responsibilities, hard work), then what hope is there for real happiness?
第二部分
30
Come on. Look around. There are people who actually seem to be enjoying their lives. They also go to school and have tests, yet they're having a great time. I guarantee they've had bad hair days, friends who have stabbed them in the back (在他们背后捅刀子), acne (粉刺) that's flared up at the wrong time, a most embarrassing moment and things they couldn't afford.
第二部分
31
The difference is that they're not letting the things they can't control take over their lives. They've accepted the fact that the path to happiness is full of wastes and that they will step in them occasionally. How you deal with them will determine whether you're happy or not. So focus on the positive things and you'll notice that the “good times” are all around you.
Yours,
Alex

My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr Creech, who knew I couldn't read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn't happen again. Later that day, Mr Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
第二部分
36
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
“I'm so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn't all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.

The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.

第二部分
26.Why couldn't the author read before meeting Mr Creech?
A.Because his reading age was not long enough.
B.Because his parents didn't teach him how to read.
C.Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D.Because he didn't have inner driving force to learn to read.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.”可推知,作者在遇到Creech老师之前不会诵读,是因为缺乏学习诵读的内在动力。故选D。
第二部分

A.Mr Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.
B.The author had become a published author and an active speaker.
C.Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report's key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13yearolds and 9 percent of 17yearolds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
第二部分
43
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of ereaders and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
第二部分
44
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一则报告,主要从阅读时长、阅读方式和父母对孩子阅读的影响等角度展示了该报告的内容。

Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy (常青藤) League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.
第二部分
50
Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.
第二部分
51
But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings.But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates (本科生) taught mostly by parttime instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussionbased classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a highenergy city life experience.
第二部分
52
Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide.A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty and thrive in society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So when you choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.

Dear Jack,
I'm glad to receive your email asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Firstly, I recommend you to communicate with native Chinese speakers as often as possible, and to attend a Chinese course with professional guidance as well. Besides, for a music enthusiast like you, learning to sing Chinese songs combines Chinese study and your hobby perfectly. Most importantly, read more Chinese books, which not only equips you with basic Chinese grammars but also deepens your understanding of the Chinese culture.

Above all, what really counts is passion and determination! So keep working!
Hope my advice above can be of help to you.
Yours,

However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
第四部分

Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return back to the village. Carol agreed.
