My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I wa
18、s doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals(脚蹬子)and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didnt.As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look ba
19、ck just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minu
20、tes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very e
21、ager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasnt that afraid of falling any more.Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfathers help.

22、what I wanted to do eagerly.24. How did the author feel when he rode a bike for the first time?A. Upset. B. Frightened. C. Concerned. D. Happy.25. Why was the author scared to death?A.

24、 us?A. Its never too late to learn. B. Great minds think alike.C. Success relies on perseverance(毅力). D. Its hard to see the bottom of the water.CA typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 a. m. This is often even earlier than elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first
25、lesson at 7:30 a. m. in the US. The average teenager properly needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in fact a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to
26、 solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms(规律). There has been a general change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time(which has remained constant)but at the cost of nat
27、ural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children playing requires effective staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior wo
28、rsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history.

29、e class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included.

In a science fiction.DSelf-confidence(自信)is the answer to success, or we can say the most important step to success. If
32、a person has confidence in himself, he has already won half the battle. Those people who seem to be self-confident at work, school, and also in their daily life constantly appear on top of the world in every given task. Everything seems to go correctly for these people and they always seem to presen
33、t themselves as peaceful, calm and victorious in everything they do.If you pay a little attention, you might become aware of that these self-confident people are generally successful in each area of their lives. Have you ever wondered why? That is because self-confident people realize the impact of
34、believing in themselves and relying on their own abilities. They talk so confidently that they make you believe they are correct and make you agree with their point of view. A confident person seems to be more aware and educated even if he knows a little about the subject.However, a person who is le
35、arned but lacking confidence might fail. This confidence finally creates opportunities for success and with each fresh success; another self-confident building block is to put into position.
