第二节
Paragraph 1:
The first few months there were no fun or easy.I was afraid to go to the
new school and make new friends.As time went by,teachers finally knew all
of their students and everyone began to adapt to the life,except for me.
Most kids ignored me and some tried to talk to me,but I couldn't
understand them or say anything.It seemed that fear,loneliness and sadness
all came over me.
Paragraph 2:
Despite all those problems,I still remembered that special tree.That
tree once taught me never to give up and always to reach higher.Therefore,
I made great efforts to overcome the difficulties and began to speak English
in public.Gradually,some classmates came to me after class and played with
me.Much to my joy,I made some friends and even was invited to their
party.Now I have beaten every difficulty that I have met in life,and keep
moving forward.I realize that my perfect life was never taken away from me
and that it has just started.

4.remain句意:尽管许多产品的价格在上涨,但是城市的出租车费仍然没
变。remain在此处是系动词,不用于被动语态和进行时。

Not all heroes wear capes()and Steve Montelongo proved the statement.While he doesn't
consider himself a hero,he has saved the lives of three people during the last twenty years.
The 80-year-old man was in the right place at the right time,when he pulled a man out of his
sinking car after he had accidentally driven into a river.Montelongo jumped to the man's help without
any hesitation()or regard to his own health.
The accident happened while the elderly man was taking his granddaughter home after a dentist's
appointment.They had stopped at a traffic light when the girl saw the car fall into the river.
Montelongo got out of his car to check out the scene and immediately noticed that water had begun
rushing into the car of the trapped driver.He walked into the river and managed to open the
automobile's back door,which fortunately was unlocked.As the water began to rush into the car
faster,the 80-year-old managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack Swarts from the car by his shirt.
He later said in an interview-"I don't consider myself a hero.I was just a man that got put in
the right place at the right time"-words from a genuine modern-day good person.
This,however,wasn't Montelongo's only act of heroism.Nearly 20 years ago,he helped two of
his neighbors get to safety as their house was caught in a fire.He was 62 years old at the time and had
to kick open his neighbor's front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathirne Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne
Maxwell.During the rescue(),Montelongo suffered chest pains and had to be hospitalized but
made a quick recovery.He was awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery
and act of heroism.

Life affects()friendships.As we grow,marry,fight in wars,move across the country or
change jobs,old friendships fall away and new ones form.As long as we live,the things around us
change,and as long as things change,friendships are affected.
When we were children,we had best friends.No matter what happened,we were still friends.We
live our lives,however,and do what life calls for us to do,and as we get older,memories fade
失),faces blur(变得模糊不清),and even friends'names from childhood are forgotten..
Do you have a question about friendship?Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no
longer friendly?Perhaps you will see that you can't control others.If someone wants to be your
friend,it is their choice.All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with
them.Then you wish them well when they leave.
You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible(难以置信的)joy and
incredible sorrow,and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting
(will be gone.Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell
you that friendships come and that friendships go.Sometimes when they go,it will hurt,but you will
be okay with it.It's the way life works,after all.

Scientists have taught goldfish an unusual way to reach a target-by driving a small robotic car
on dry land.The experiment was designed to test whether goldfish could find their way in conditions
very different from their natural living conditions.The experiment was led by researchers at the Ben-
Gurion University of the Negev.
To test the goldfish,the researchers created a special robotic car that could drive forward,
backward,and from side to side.The scientists called the car a "Fish Operated Vehicle"(FOV).A
goldfish was placed inside a water tank on the FOV.Using a special system,the car tracked where
the goldfish was and what direction it was swimming in.The FOV would then automatically()
move in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish.They tested them by placing the car in a small
room with a pink target on one side.The goldfish were rewarded with a food pellet()when the
car touched the target.At first,it took the fish about a half an hour to drive to the target.But by the
end of the experiment,they were able to complete the same challenge in less than a minute.
Shachar Givon,one of the researchers said,"As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike
or to drive a car knows,it is challenging at first."Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive
to the target,but they weren't fooled by fake targets of other colors.They were also able to get
themselves free when the car was stuck next to a wall.
Though the experiment showed that the goldfish were able to find the way to a target,it's hardly
likely that the goldfish knew they were controlling a car.They may not have even realized they were
moving on land.The researchers say that in the future it may be possible to change the FOV to test
these ideas.
32.What can we know about the FOV?
A.It can move with goldfish.
B.It can turn round by itself.

My life as a kid was a sweet life.I lived in a beautiful house with the beautiful surroundings in
Peru.There was one special thing I loved and it was a huge tree that was in my backyard.As a child,
I used to climb the tree every day.Every time I went,I climbed higher and higher,reaching new
branches,obstacles(障碍物),and pathways on my way up.One day,I finally reached the top and I
could see my island.I felt I was on top of the world,and that nothing could stop me.It was the
special tree that taught me never to give up and always to reach higher.
Then,there was the day that seemed like the end of my life.This specific day changed my life
forever.
It was a nice summer day.After breakfast,my family headed to the park to see my baseball
game.In the evening we went to a carnival()in my town.My grandma was selling blankets
under a tent.Suddenly,the mood of the day changed when my parents took me to my grandma's
tent.Still to this day.I remember the exact words my dad said to me,"Son,how would you like to
move to the United States?"I couldn't believe what he said.I then ran away from him as the tears
rolled down my cheeks.My perfect life was being taken away from me.
Two weeks later,we arrived in New York in late July,and my aunt and uncle drove us to
Springfield,Massachusetts where we lived for seven years.As a 9-year-old kid who grew up in Peru,
I knew little about the local language and culture.What's worse,September came soon and school
started.
Paragraph 1:
The first few months there were not fun or easy.
Paragraph 2:
Despite all those problems.I sill remembered that special tree.
