But a tragedy struck him in his senior year when Staton suffered serious tendonitis(肌腱炎) in both shoulders. He couldnt lift either arm for months. His
18、dream of becoming a professional player failed.

Many co-workers couldnt help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? Youre smart.
19、 You are too young to be here. Go to college.” It was the first time someone outside his family had spoken highly of his intelligence.

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare
25、 for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions. Unfortunately, all o
26、ver the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母). The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to
27、recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated class
28、room with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of sixyearolds dip brush pens into black ink.

33、port. C. Childrens literature. D. An advertisement.DDid you ever have to say “no” to somebody? Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you? New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the p
34、erson being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she ask
35、ed over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应) after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting
36、Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.Freedm
37、an said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay - even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often mak
38、es the person doing the rejection feel better - even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired
39、 from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”32. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection?A. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better. B. Because they think it is more polite.C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communica
40、tion.D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.33.

42、last paragraph?A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.B. Gili Freedmans research on business situations.C. The difference between a social situation and a business one.D.

43、to visit? If the answer is yes, have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?36 Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhood, most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous. The thought of going on
44、 a trip alone excites and terrifies them at the same time. Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures. It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone. 37 For example, being alone on the road, you might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go.
45、 If you join a tour halfway, you may be asked why you dont have friends or family around. 38 First, traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying about others needs and wants.

46、without being disturbed (打扰). You are free to walk around on different streets. 39 You can also remove that dull daily routine (常规) that always makes you feel tired.If you make good use of it, traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, as youll finally have time to think abou

70、亲伤心，选 “眼含泪水的” 符合逻辑。42C从储蓄罐里把零花钱 “倾倒” 出来符合语境。43B make ones way to. “向走去”。44B弟弟病重，因此是头里长了 “坏的”东西。Extra “额外的”，不符合小孩的语言特点和认知水平。45C药店里是 “卖” 药，而不是卖 “奇迹”。46A由语境可知，药剂师了解小女孩弟弟的情况，温柔可亲地回答小女孩，故选A47A下文有提示，这儿刚刚出现这位 “穿着体面的” 顾客，不能马上断定他是 “好心的”，故不选B。48B这位顾客不明白小女孩的弟弟需要什么样的奇迹，故有此问。49C前面出现了小女孩的弟弟头中长了 “坏” 东西的信息，后面有提示，因此
71、小女孩知道需要 “手术” 才能救弟弟的命。A项 “医生” 太笼统，B项 “外科医生”，概念太专业，超出了小女孩的认知水平。50A从后面这位顾客问小女孩有多少钱，可得出答案，小女孩告诉对方把自己所有的 “积蓄” 都带来了。51B此处这位顾客了解了小女孩的用意，故幽默地说：1美元11分钱 “正好” 是买一个奇迹的钱，说明这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟。52C这位顾客要到小女孩 “带”他去她家里去。53D这位顾客要去“见见”小女孩的父母，以便进一步了解情况。54B说明Dr Carlton Armstrong富有爱心，无偿地为小女孩的弟弟做了手术，因此是没有收费。其他选项不合题意。54C小女孩的弟弟不久
