In eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(节) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.
Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.
Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.
Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.
When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.
More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.
1.By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________.
A. it is time to forgive others
B. everyone may make mistakes
C. it’s okay to make mistakes
D. what can be done to forgive our mistakes
2.What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?
A. A mistake makes you more likeable.
B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.
C. People mess up in life at times.
D. It’s good to share a great story with others
3.According to the passage, we know the author ________.
A. is pleased with her hard work
B. was once a person who wants things to be perfect
C. was happy with her high standard
D. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made
4.What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?
A. Making a fool of yourself.
B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.
C. Admitting mistakes is risky.
D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.

BEIJING — The launch of a new manned space mission brings China closer to the establishment of a permanent space station, international experts say.
Chinese taikonauts, Jing Haipeng, 50, and Chen Dong, 37, were blasted off into space onboard Shenzhou-11 at 7:30 am Monday and will spend 30 days in the Chinese space laboratory Tiangong-2.The launch marks a key step toward China's plan to eventually operate a permanent space station. The successful launch of the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft is another step forward to put China among leading players in space technology, said Alexander Zheleznyakov, a Russian expert on history of space flights. China's experimental space lab will help provide solutions for spacecraft of different functions to approach and anchor, and for a long-term operation of life support system, said Zheleznyakov. Shenzhou-11 is scheduled to anchor on Wednesday with Tiangong-2, which is part of China's plan to build a permanent space station by 2022.
China can now test technologies for cargo spacecraft anchoring, life support system operation and water recycling to ensure a long-term continuous operation of its space station in the future with less dependence on renewal from the Earth, he said. If all goes well, China will launch the unpiloted Tianzhou-1 cargo ship next spring to autonomously tie up with Tiangong-2. Tianzhou-1 will be capable of automatically transferring rocket fuels, a vital requirement for space station grouping and maintenance, according to a report by Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).
"That will further their anchoring abilities needed for the larger space station," Johnson Freese was quoted." Tiangong-2 is supposed to be able to stay in orbit for two years or longer, so that's taking them (Chinese) really close to 2019 or so. I think this will be their last big technology test phase before going to their large space station," said Freese.
1.Why did China launch Shenzhou-11 into space?
A. To improve its launching ability.
B. To show off its space progress.
C. To set up a permanent space station.
D. To replace the space lab Tiankong-2.
2.Which of the following is designed to automatically transfer rocket fuels?
A. Shenzhou-11.B. Tiangong-2.
C. Shenzhou-1.D. Tianzhou-1.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “blasted off” in last paragraph?
A. sent upB. gave away
C. swept offD. carried away

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
—Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly, ” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.
1.What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?
A. Funny.B. True.C. Strange.D. Confusing.
2.What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?
A. He praises his students one by one.
B. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.
C. He use videos to teach his students.
D. He asks his students to help each other.
3.Syona felt very pleased because ________.
A. she has developed a cool attitude
B. her progress was appreciated by her parents
C. her mother knew what she expressed
D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate
4.What change has taken place in the author’s family？
A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home.
B. They visit Umer’s classroom regularly.
C. They feel grateful to people in their lives
D. They give each other praise every day.

An American psychotherapist (理疗家) Glenn Doman wrote a best-selling book called How to Teach Your Baby to Read in 1963. Now translated into 17 languages, this book arose from his work with brain-damaged children in Pennsylvania. Doman and his team of specialists had wondered why brain-injured children didn't improve with treatment. Then they realized that orthodox(传统的) methods of treatment only relieved the symptoms, not the problem, which of course was the brain itself. So they develop a new approach. "All we do for all the children here is to give them visual, auditory (听觉的) and tactile (触觉的) stimulation with increased frequency, intensity and duration, in recognition of the orderly way in which the brain grows," says Doman. "The result was that by 1960 we had hundreds of severely brain-injured two-year-olds who could read and understand." The team had discovered that even children who had half their brains removed could, by stimulation, achieve higher IQs than the average normal child.
Then the team began to think if such amazing results could be achieved with brain-damaged children, what would happen if the same treatment were given to normal children? So eight years ago the Better Baby Institute was opened for the benefit of normal children. The same stimulating environment was provided, and by the time the children left, around seven years old, they could generally speak and read three foreign languages, play a musical instrument, read three full-length (标准长度的) books a week and do all the other things that a so-called "normal" child could do.
In Doman's view, the child's passion to learn during the years up to six must be fed. He believes that, like muscles, the brain develops with use, especially so in those first few years.
Nowadays, parents come from all over the world to Pennsylvania to see and learn from the work of Doman and his team; they want to discover how they can fulfill their roles as nature's teachers, by using their love, understanding and instincts for the benefit of the children. For in the words of Doman, "every child born has a greater potential intelligence than Leonardo da Vinci used".
1.Glenn Doman discovered in his research that brain-damaged children improved then they ________.
A. got the right treatment
B. were taught to read and understand
C. could speak several languages
D. got relief of their symptoms
2.The passage suggested that Doman's new approach was to ________.
A. give shorter periods of decreased stimulation
B. increase the number of types of stimulation
C. decrease the time between the periods of stimulation
D. intensify the shorter periods of stimulation
3.From the information given in the text, we can assume that ________.
A. brain-damaged children generally have high IQs
B. children with only half a brain are more intelligent
C. brain-damaged children can overcome their disability
D. most normal two-year old children can read
4.At the Better Baby Institute ________.
A. unnatural development of children was achieved
B. children developed at a normal standard rate
C. the idea of "normal" achievement was challenged
D. children needed seven years to develop normality
5.Parents come to the Institute because they want ________.
A. their children to become as intelligent as Leonardo da Vinci
B. to learn how to teach their children about nature
C. to develop their own abilities to help their children
D. their children to develop instincts of love and understand

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 1. Here are some tips to help.
2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym（同义词） or antonym（反义词）. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", "huge" and "large". Make a order of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.
