Jessica spoke about what Toddy had done to make her travels with her children much easier. She looked very worried when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old son was crying because of several unexpected events. Her 3-year-old daughter, Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane lost her excitement and began crying too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them stop crying, the man sitting next to them stopped in to help. He reached for the baby and held him while Jessica fastened Caroline’s seatbelt, got her iPad and started her movie. Once Caroline was settled and a little bit calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed her son. The kids were calm, but he didn’t stop there. Throughout the flight, he made the 3-year-old Caroline his best friend. Much to Jessica’s happiness, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline’s hand. As if that wasn’t enough, he changed his seat on the next flight so he could sit in the same row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness. The heartwarming story is a reminder to show kindness toward worried parents with young babies. Children don’t yet know how to deal with their feelings, so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an upset parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable. 24. Jessica got worried while boarding the plane because ________. A she met several unexpected events B. she thought her daughter was too excited C. her children lost control of their emotions D. her children were fighting with each other 25. What did Toddy do to draw Caroline’s attention away from her mom? A. Starting her movie. B. Feeding her snacks. C. Fastening her seatbelt. D. Playing games with her. 26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Parents are always treated kindly at the airport. B. People should help parents with young children. C. Children cry in order to attract people’s attention. D. Children refuse to learn to manage their emotions. 27. What kind of person is Toddy? A. Honest and funny. B. Brave and powerful. C. Selfless and naughty. D. Patient and helpful. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位母亲在坐飞机途中因两个孩子情绪失控而手忙脚乱，此时受到一名乘客的帮助而顺利乘坐飞机的故事，呼吁我们都应该帮助带有小孩的父母。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She looked very worried when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old son was crying because of several unexpected events. Her 3-year-old daughter, Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane lost her excitement and began crying too.”可知，她登机时看起来很担心。她4个月大的儿子因为几件意想不到的事哭了。她3岁的女儿卡罗琳在登机前一直很兴奋，但她失去了兴奋，也开始哭泣。所以，因为孩子的情绪失控导致她很惊慌。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Once Caroline was settled and a little bit calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed her son.”可知，卡罗琳安顿下来后，稍微平静了一点，他还和她玩游戏，这样杰西卡就可以喂她的儿子了。所以，Toddy与Caroline在玩游戏，让妈妈可以照顾弟弟。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an upset parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable.”可知，通过提供帮助，我们不仅可以帮助沮丧的父母，还可以让孩子感到更舒适。即呼吁人们在飞机上帮助带有小孩的父母使得父母和孩子都感到舒适。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文中Toddy与Caroline玩游戏，让妈妈可以更好地照顾弟弟Alexander，在他们转乘飞机时还牵着姐姐的手，带着他们一起，并且更换座位继续照顾他们。让妈妈感到没有那么不知所措，同时也让孩子能够更舒适，可知Toddy是个耐心且考虑周到的人。故选D。 C Recently, some people have complained about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts that back up what these people said. According to the report, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness have dropped since 2012, the year the percentage of teens owning smartphones started increasing rapidly. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens. Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She graphed (制图) the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also graphed the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others. Diane Tanman complains that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons are more into online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) built in to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said. Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games. However, totally staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises in relation to increasing screen time. Spending time in front of a screen is a normal part of being a teenager. Many schools require students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for things other than their studies. If we recognize how screen time influences young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health in the process. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives. 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Screen time at home is not as beneficial as screen time at school. B. Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest. C. Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning. D. What teens do on the screen influences their happiness. 29. Why does the passage give the examples of families with teens? A. To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices. B. To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time. C. To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use. D. To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy. 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs? B. Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important? C Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance D. Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfaction 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《情感》杂志上的一篇新报告的一些观点，智能手机和社交媒体故意让人上瘾的设计让青少年沉迷于屏幕；青少年每周花在屏幕上的时间越长，他们的心理健康状况就越差，他们的生活满意度和幸福感会有所下降。屏幕时间就像冰淇淋，我们可以偶尔吃一些，但不应该成为我们日常生活的一部分。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily.”可知，最快乐的青少年每天使用电子设备的时间略少于一个小时。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Many of the games have rewards built in to keep players coming back. ‘It’s just junk food for the brain,’ Tanman said.”和第五段“After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.”可知，作者列举有青少年的家庭的例子是为了证明电子设备令人上瘾的设计的不良影响。故选A。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，青少年每周花在屏幕上的时间越长，他们的心理健康状况就越差，他们的生活满意度和幸福感会有所下降。选项D“屏幕时间与青少年生活满意度”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 D Nowadays, many people prefer audiobooks (有声书), a more convenient choice, to old-fashioned reading. You can listen to the latest bestseller while commuting or cleaning up the house. But is listening to a book really the same as reading one? There’s some evidence that reading on a screen reduces learning and comprehension compared to reading from printed text. If you’re wondering why printed books may be better than screen-based reading, it may have to do with your inability to tell where you are in an audiobook. “As you’re reading a story, the order of events is important, and knowing where you are in a book helps you build the storyline,” says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology. While you are listening to an audiobook and trying to find out how much of a book you have left, in a percentage or length of time to the end, it doesn’t seem to have the same narrative-orienting effect (叙事导向效应) as reading from a traditional book. The self-directed pace (速度) associated with reading may also differentiate books from audiobooks. “About 10% to 15% of eye movements during reading are actually regressive.” Willingham explains. “This happens very quickly when a reader needs to re-read a sentence or a passage to better understand its content. And it’s sort of naturally fit into the process of reading a sentence.” He says this reading behavior almost certainly improves comprehension, and it may be roughly comparable to a listener asking for a speaker to “hold on” or repeat something. Theoretically, you can also pause or jump back while listening to an audio file. “But it’s more trouble,” he adds. Another consideration is that whether we’re reading or listening to a text, our minds occasionally absent. Seconds (or minutes) can pass before we jump out of the little mental break and refocus our attention, says Willingham. If you’re reading, it’s pretty easy to go back and find the point at which you are lost. It’s not so easy if you’re listening to a recording. Willingham coauthored a 2010 study that found students who listened to a podcast (播客) lesson performed worse on a comprehension quiz than students who read the same lesson on paper. Interestingly, at the start of the experiment, almost all the students wanted to be in the podcast group. “But then right before I gave them the quiz, I asked them again which group they would want to be in, and most of them had changed their minds—they wanted to be in the reading group,” Willingham says. “They knew they hadn’t learned as much.” But audiobooks also have some strengths. Human beings have been sharing information orally for tens of thousands of years, Willingham says, while the printed word is a much more recent invention. “When we’re reading, we’re applying parts of the brain to the cognitive task of reading.” Listeners, on the other hand, can get a lot of information from a speaker’s lively pronunciation or intonations. People who hear Shakespeare spoken out loud tend to gain a lot of meaning from the actor’s delivery. All that said, if you’re reading or listening for relaxation—not for work or study—the differences between audiobooks and print books are probably “small potatoes”. If you are not, that’s where personal preference and the specific context of your reading or listening experience come into play. 31. The underlined word “regressive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. rechecking what you read B. memorizing the sentences C. predicting the unfinished part D. searching for new information 32. What may professor Daniel Willingham agree with? A. Kids who listen to audiobooks can have a better understanding of the contents. B. Printed books allow kids to fit into the process of reading at their own pace. C. We need to have a mental break and then refocus our attention while reading printed books. D. Audiobooks make you understand the storyline better because you can jump back freely. 33. What can we learn about the audiobooks and printed books from the passage? A. Reading printed books is easier for you to follow the storyline. B. Compared with printed books, audiobooks are more suitable for relaxation. C. People think audiobooks are attractive because of the speakers’ lively voice. D. Most of the bestsellers are audiobooks because they make reading more convenient. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了有声读物与纸质书籍的不同。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This happens very quickly when a reader needs to re-read a sentence or a passage to better understand its content.”可知，后文解释“当读者需要重读句子或段落以更好理解时会发生这种情况”，选项A “rechecking what you read”（重新检查阅读内容）与“重读以加强理解”的行为直接对应，故划线单词“regressive”意为“重新读”。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you’re reading, it’s pretty easy to go back and find the point at which you are lost.”可知，威林厄姆认为当你阅读思想走神时，会很容易找到你迷失的点，故推断出他可能认为，纸质书籍可以让孩子们按照自己的节奏进行阅读。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘As you’re reading a story, the order of events is important… effect as reading from a traditional book.”可知，有声读物的叙事导向效应与纸质书籍不一样，纸质书籍可以让您更轻松地理解故事情节。故选A。 四、阅读表达（34-36题，每题2分；37题4分。共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land — just as it was getting dark — on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 34. How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? ___________________________________________ 35. How did Mack stay in touch with people on the ground? ___________________________________________ 36. What did many of Mack’s other challenges relate to? ___________________________________________ 37. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons) ___________________________________________ 【答案】34. 5 months. 35. He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 36. Extreme weather. 37. Yes, I do. First, he has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Second, he faced lots of challenges during his trip and overcame them. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍马克乘坐微型轻型飞机的环球之旅，他创造了世界最年轻的单人飞行纪录。 【34题详解】 根据“completing a five-month effort to fly around the world”可知，马克环球飞行花了5个月，故填5 months. 【35题详解】 根据“The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.”可知，他通过卫星通信与地面上的人们保持联系。故填He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 【36题详解】 根据“Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather.”可知，马克还面临着许多其他挑战，其中许多与极端天气有关。故填Extreme weather. 【37题详解】 本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：Yes, I do. First, he has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone.

They provided guidance and support, which encouraged me to improve my understanding of the subject. Gradually, I made progress. I learned that difficulties are a part of life and should be seen as opportunities for growth. By facing this challenge, I gained valuable insights into my strengths and weaknesses. In the end, overcoming this obstacle not only improved my academic performance but also taught me important life lessons. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为一般过去时； ③提示：根据提示内容介绍你在生活中曾经遇到的一个问题，你是如何面对并解决这个问题的，以及这次经历给你带来的收获。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍遇到的问题是什么； 第二步，介绍你是如何面对并解决这个问题的； 第三步，介绍这次经历给你带来的收获。 [亮点词汇] ①at first首先 ②decide to do sth.决定做某事 ③make progress取得进步 ④not only...but also不但……而且 [高分句型] ①One problem that stands out in my memory is when I struggled with a tough subject at school.

Jessica spoke about what Toddy had done to make her travels with her children much easier. She looked very worried when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old son was crying because of several unexpected events. Her 3-year-old daughter, Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane lost her excitement and began crying too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them stop crying, the man sitting next to them stopped in to help. He reached for the baby and held him while Jessica fastened Caroline’s seatbelt, got her iPad and started her movie. Once Caroline was settled and a little bit calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed her son. The kids were calm, but he didn’t stop there. Throughout the flight, he made the 3-year-old Caroline his best friend. Much to Jessica’s happiness, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline’s hand. As if that wasn’t enough, he changed his seat on the next flight so he could sit in the same row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness. The heartwarming story is a reminder to show kindness toward worried parents with young babies. Children don’t yet know how to deal with their feelings, so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an upset parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable. 24. Jessica got worried while boarding the plane because ________. A. she met several unexpected events B. she thought her daughter was too excited C. her children lost control of their emotions D. her children were fighting with each other 25. What did Toddy do to draw Caroline’s attention away from her mom? A. Starting her movie. B. Feeding her snacks. C. Fastening her seatbelt. D. Playing games with her. 26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Parents are always treated kindly at the airport. B People should help parents with young children. C. Children cry in order to attract people’s attention. D Children refuse to learn to manage their emotions. 27. What kind of person is Toddy? A. Honest and funny. B. Brave and powerful. C. Selfless and naughty. D. Patient and helpful. C Recently, some people have complained about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts that back up what these people said. According to the report, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness have dropped since 2012, the year the percentage of teens owning smartphones started increasing rapidly. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens. Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She graphed (制图) the connection between happiness and screen activities such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also graphed the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others. Diane Tanman complains that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields and it made them happier. These days, her sons are more into online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) built in to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said. Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games. However, totally staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises in relation to increasing screen time. Spending time in front of a screen is a normal part of being a teenager. Many schools require students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for things other than their studies. If we recognize how screen time influences young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health in the process. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives. 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Screen time at home is not as beneficial as screen time at school. B. Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest. C. Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning. D. What teens do on the screen influences their happiness. 29. Why does the passage give the examples of families with teens? A. To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices. B. To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time. C. To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use. D. To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy. 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs? B. Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important? C. Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance D. Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfaction D Nowadays, many people prefer audiobooks (有声书), a more convenient choice, to old-fashioned reading. You can listen to the latest bestseller while commuting or cleaning up the house. But is listening to a book really the same as reading one? There’s some evidence that reading on a screen reduces learning and comprehension compared to reading from printed text. If you’re wondering why printed books may be better than screen-based reading, it may have to do with your inability to tell where you are in an audiobook. “As you’re reading a story, the order of events is important, and knowing where you are in a book helps you build the storyline,” says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology. While you are listening to an audiobook and trying to find out how much of a book you have left, in a percentage or length of time to the end, it doesn’t seem to have the same narrative-orienting effect (叙事导向效应) as reading from a traditional book. The self-directed pace (速度) associated with reading may also differentiate books from audiobooks. “About 10% to 15% of eye movements during reading are actually regressive.” Willingham explains. “This happens very quickly when a reader needs to re-read a sentence or a passage to better understand its content. And it’s sort of naturally fit into the process of reading a sentence.” He says this reading behavior almost certainly improves comprehension, and it may be roughly comparable to a listener asking for a speaker to “hold on” or repeat something. Theoretically, you can also pause or jump back while listening to an audio file. “But it’s more trouble,” he adds. Another consideration is that whether we’re reading or listening to a text, our minds occasionally absent. Seconds (or minutes) can pass before we jump out of the little mental break and refocus our attention, says Willingham. If you’re reading, it’s pretty easy to go back and find the point at which you are lost. It’s not so easy if you’re listening to a recording. Willingham coauthored a 2010 study that found students who listened to a podcast (播客) lesson performed worse on a comprehension quiz than students who read the same lesson on paper. Interestingly, at the start of the experiment, almost all the students wanted to be in the podcast group. “But then right before I gave them the quiz, I asked them again which group they would want to be in, and most of them had changed their minds—they wanted to be in the reading group,” Willingham says. “They knew they hadn’t learned as much.” But audiobooks also have some strengths. Human beings have been sharing information orally for tens of thousands of years, Willingham says, while the printed word is a much more recent invention. “When we’re reading, we’re applying parts of the brain to the cognitive task of reading.” Listeners, on the other hand, can get a lot of information from a speaker’s lively pronunciation or intonations. People who hear Shakespeare spoken out loud tend to gain a lot of meaning from the actor’s delivery. All that said, if you’re reading or listening for relaxation—not for work or study—the differences between audiobooks and print books are probably “small potatoes”. If you are not, that’s where personal preference and the specific context of your reading or listening experience come into play. 31. The underlined word “regressive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. rechecking what you read B. memorizing the sentences C. predicting the unfinished part D. searching for new information 32. What may professor Daniel Willingham agree with? A. Kids who listen to audiobooks can have a better understanding of the contents. B. Printed books allow kids to fit into the process of reading at their own pace. C. We need to have a mental break and then refocus our attention while reading printed books. D. Audiobooks make you understand the storyline better because you can jump back freely. 33. What can we learn about the audiobooks and printed books from the passage? A. Reading printed books is easier for you to follow the storyline. B. Compared with printed books, audiobooks are more suitable for relaxation. C. People think audiobooks are attractive because of the speakers’ lively voice. D. Most of the bestsellers are audiobooks because they make reading more convenient. 四、阅读表达（34-36题，每题2分；37题4分。共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land — just as it was getting dark — on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 34. How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? ___________________________________________ 35. How did Mack stay in touch with people on the ground? ___________________________________________ 36. What did many of Mack’s other challenges relate to? ___________________________________________ 37. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not?
