“The team has just called in and believe that they are standing on top of Mt.Everest，” Romero’s blog said.“Their dreams have now come true.Everyone is happy.”
The climbing has put Romero one step closer to reaching his goal of climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents (大洲)．“It is just a goal，” Romero said.He had already climbed five peaks (高峰)，and needs to climb only Vinson Massif，the highest peak in Antarctica，to hit his goal.
The youngest person before to climb Everest was 16yearold Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal.Romero climbed together with a team including his father Paul and three local guides.He wanted to pick a small piece of rock from the top of the world and wear it in a necklace.
While Nepal insists that anyone planning to climb Mount Everest must be 16，China does not have any age restrictions (限制)．Some mountain climbers haven’t agreed with the Romero family for letting him try it but his father said the climbing from the Chinese side is less dangerous.

Imagine going to sleep then waking up speaking another language. It may sound impossible， but it's actually happened.
The phenomenon(现象)of being able to suddenly speak another language is known as“Xenoglossia”， from the Greek words“xenos”(foreigner)and “glossa”(language)．
It once happened to a 13yearold girl from Croatia. After being unconscious(不省人事的)because of a disease for 24 hours in 2010，she woke up speaking fluent German. The girl， who came from the town of Knin in the south of Croatia，was studying German at school but she'd only started recently. Her parents said that she'd been reading German books and watching German TV at home， but that she wasn't fluent in the language.However ，since waking up， she's been able to communicate “perfectly”in German.What's really strange is that she's now unable to speak Croat，her mother language.Doctors at Split's KB Hospital have asked some experts to examine the girl as they try to find out what caused the change.Dr Mijo Milas said，“In earlier times this would have been considered as a miracle(奇迹)；we prefer to think that there must be an explanation—it's just that we haven't found it yet.”
In 2007，Matej Kus from Czech became unconscious after a motorbike accident. On waking up 45 minutes later，he could speak fluent English.Matej was only 18 years old at the time， and had just started studying the language and so was at a low level.Peter Waite，Kus's teammate said，“I couldn't believe what I was hearing.It was really clear English.It was unbelievable to hear him talk in unbroken English.”Unluckily，Matej's new language skills didn't last.Two days later， when he recovered fully from the accident， he'd completely forgotten his English.
We still don't know exactly what happened to the two people. Perhaps scientists will discover something new and exciting. But until then， keep studying!
1.According to the passage，what is“Xenoglossia”？
A．That someone becomes unconscious.
B．That someone speaks a new language in a sudden.

2.What does the underlined word “It” in Para.3 probably refer to?
A．Having accidents.
B．Speaking fluent German.
C．The phenomenon of Xenoglossia.
D．Being unable to speak.
3.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the girl from Croatia ______.
A． wanted to know what caused her change
B． believed she had a talent for language
C． didn't study German for a long time
D． didn't like learning German
4.Which of the following is TURE according to the test?
A. Matej Kus is now afraid of motorbike racing.
B. The girl from Croatia lost consciousness for several days.
C. The girl from Croatia was knocked unconscious in an accident.

Just listen
I think the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 16 ，and especially if it’s given from the 17 ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but 18 them．Just take them 19 ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than 20 it．
One of my patients told me that when she 21 to tell her story，people often 22 to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Her pain became a story about themselves． 23 she stopped talking to most people．It was just too 24 ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the 25 of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．
I have ever learned to 26 to someone crying by just listening．in the old days I used to reach for the tissues （纸巾） 27 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 28 ，to take them out of their 29 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 30 them．
This 31 thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been 32 since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too 33 to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more 34 to connect than the most well-intentioned 35 ．
