This morning,I remembered a childhood
memory.It made me realize that some acts of
kindness that we might do 1 (natural)
might never be forgotten by the 2

I was six years old.My foster mother

chosen to stay with.One morning she sent me
to the store for a bag of flour.On the way back
home I was doing what any six-year-old boy
would have been doing 4 (play).Because
of that I dropped the bag of flour and it burst
open spilling the flour all over the ground.I
knew that this meant I 5 (be)in big trouble
when I got home.
So I ran back to the store and asked 6
I could have an empty bag and a scoop(铲子)so
that I could gather up as much of the flour as
possible.But to my horror,I saw a car driving
right on top of the flour!There was no chance
of7(save)it now!
Seeing the sorrow on my face,the driver
pulled over.He took me 8 the hand and
led me back to the store 9 he bought me a
new bag of flour.I never told my mother about
the kind gentleman,but I still remember him

our brains understand the
things we see,smell,hear,
taste,touch,and experience
But when someone's brain
has trouble doing these things,it can make it
hard to talk,listen,understand,play,and
learn.
2 For example,when people smile,
you know they feel happy or friendly;when
people look mad,you can tell by their faces or
their voice.But many kids who have autism
spectrum disorders have trouble understanding
what emotions look like and what another
person is thinking.They might act in a way
that seems unusual,and it can be hard to
understand why they're doing it.
Imagine trying to understand what your
teacher is saying if you don't know what she
means.It is even more frustrating if a kid can't
come up with the right words to express his or
her own thoughts,or tell a parent what he or
she needs or wants 3
The earlier a child starts getting help,the
better.But figuring out if a kid has an autism
spectrum disorder can be difficult at the
beginning.4 Maybe the child is old enough
to speak but doesn't.Or a kid doesn't seem
interested in people,has a hard time playing
with others,or acts in unusual ways.
There is no cure for autism,but care team
can help kids learn to communicate better.A
kid might learn sign language or get a message
across by pointing at pictures.The care team
also can help improve a kid's social skills like
taking turns and playing in a group.
5 Many will always need some kind of
help.But all will have brighter future when the
people around them can support and understand
them.
A.Sometimes this can make a kid very

B.A kid's symptoms could be very mild,
severe,or somewhere in the middle.
C.Some of them may not express their
feelings in the same way others do,which does
not mean that they do not have feelings.
D.Some kids who have mild symptoms
will graduate high school and may go to college
and live on their own.
E.It happens when the brain develops
differently and has trouble with an important
job:making sense of the World.
F.Kids with autism often can't make
connections that other kids make easily.
G.A parent is usually the first to think
that something could be wrong.

正确率:
Arthur Miller (1915-2005)is universally
recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of
the 20th century.Miller's father had moved to
the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so
many others by the“Great American Dream”.
However,he experienced severe financial
hardship when his family business was mined in
the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play,Death of a
Salesman,is a powerful attack on the American
system,with its aggressive way of doing business
and its insistence on money and social status as
indicators of worth.In Willy Loman,the hero of
the play,we see a man who has got into trouble
with his worth.Willy is“burnt out”and in the
cruel world of business,there is no room for
sentiment:if he can't do the work,then he is no
good to his employer,the Wagner Company,and
he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this,and at
a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He
refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills
himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949,the play
was greeted with enthusiastic reviews,and it
won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New
York Drama Critics'Circle Award,and the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play
to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in
Roxbury,Connecticut,on the evening of
February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the
first performance of Death of a Salesman on
Broadway.
1.Why did Arthur Miller's father move to
the USA?
A.He suffered from severe hunger in his
home country.

For more than a decade,a team of
researchers have studied the dynamics of the
Greenland Ice Sheet as it responds to a warming
climate.But while much of their focus has been on
water's impacts on ice sheet change,their most
recent research findings have overturned the order
of their thinking.Meierbachtol,Harper and their
team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have
a real impact on the massive groundwater system
underlying Greenland.
This latest discovery occurred thanks to a
marriage of drilling techniques.International
cooperators made an angled hole 650 meters
through bedrock underneath a Greenland glacier

the ice.Meanwhile,researchers drilled 32 holes
from atop the glacier,through nearly a kilometer
of ice,to measure water conditions at the area
between ice and bedrock,which forms an
important boundary controlling groundwater
flow below.After drilling,the team fixed
sensors in the ice column and at the ice sheet
bed to measure ice dynamics and water
conditions as water flows under the ice.
"By studying areas covered by ice 10 000
years ago,we have known that the huge mass and
vast amounts of water from melting ice can impact
the underlying groundwater,"Meierbachtol said.
"It's generally accepted that the groundwater is
sleeping over decades to centuries and its response
to ice sheet change is long:thousands of years.But
what we've shown here is that it is immediate."
This new understanding could have important
subsequent effects on how Greenland's thinning
impacts the Arctic.The thinning ice could reduce
the rate of groundwater flow to the ocean,
changing the water temperature and salinity
balance that is important for ocean circulation
(循环)patterns.“In thinking about the complex
feedbacks from Greenland's ongoing change,we
have really ignored the groundwater component,
