A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high schoolI worked parttime helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a matket One dayas I was preparing the fruits A little boy came by with his mom and sister He was about eight years oldand the girlfive or six They were looking the fruits in front of me I heard the kids say to their mom(in French)They＇re good I knew it was French Because I can speak and understand it
Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruitsAt first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out And often asked her son if it looked okay but looked way above where his face was Putting what I saw togetherI was sure she was blind
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad and the daughter handed them to her mom The woman then felt each one and smiled and the daughter would put them into their basket The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did
It was great to witness the moment but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language this is what I regret to this day
24 The women and her kids came to the market to buy
A fruits B vegetables C candies D toys
25 According to what he saw the writer was sure the mother couldn’t
A speak B see C smell D hear
26 The writer was moved because
A the mother was brave to face her problems
B the kids were polite and kind to each other
C the mother was careful in picking out things
D the kids were so willing to help their mother
C
Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功) This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded—using the information on the children’s addresses from birth up through to the time of the study Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力集中)were graded with computers
This is the first study that shows the association between longterm exposure to green space and brain structure Says Dr Payam Dadvand the leading researcher of the study Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain
The findings show that longterm exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests Moreover larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children Another study of 2593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness
Humans are believed to be tied to nature Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn Accordingly green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery creativity and risk taking These exercises in turn positively influence brain development
Dr Dadvand’s study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development it also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations settings and climates And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space
27 The second paragraph is mainly about
A how the study was performed B what was recorded in the study
C how long the study lasted D who took part in the study
28 The word prompt in paragraph 6 probably means
A control B encourage C balance D change
29 What can we learn from the passage
A Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain
B Dr Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment
C Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain
D Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development
D
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our selfimprovement power However there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it The only time we think of unlocking our selfimprovement power is when everything gets worst
When do we realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs have gone bad We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our selfimprovement power is when the whole world is falling apart We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it
Change will happen like it or hate it At one point or another we are all going to finally unlock our selfimprovement power not because the world says so But because we realize it＇s for our own good
Happy people don’t just accept change they embrace (拥抱)it Unlocking our selfimprovement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn＇t have the courage to be around groups of people She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people Over the years that is what Jane has believed Every time a great crowd come she steps back and locks herself up in a room Jane not only believes in her story but lives it
Selfimprovement may not be everybody’s favorite word but if we look at things in a different way we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life Reading books every day would build up knowledge And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our selfimprovement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy
30 The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that
A we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B we are responsible for the problems we meet
C life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D life is a long journey full of ups and downs
31 What is the key to solving Jane’s problem
A She needs to remember why she started
B She has to know how to get on with people
C She has to realize she is not what she is in her story
D She needs to understand the importance of confidence
32 The writer probably agrees that
A the world tells us how to improve ourselves
B people change when they find it easy to do that
C welcoming change in life is a drive to become better
D enjoying the process of selfimprovement makes life simpler
33 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A Is it important to take things light
B Is it necessary to embrace challenges
C To hold on to the last moment or to give up
D To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework you might notice that there is no letter E Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A B C D and F grading system the first four letters are typically considered passing grades An F in this system simply stands forfailThe wordfailhappens to start with the letter F which seems to leave out the letter E The fact．Some schools have U grade forunsatisfactoryor I grade for incomplete
Even with all this said we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College In 1897they began to use the following grading scale
A 95100(excellent) B 8594(good) C 7684(fair)
D 75(barely passed) E below 75(failed)
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F
Graduallythe letter grading system became more popular throughout the US However many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to FThere is no evidence(证) to really support thisbut one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for excellent
Why do we have letter grades Wellpart of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools As the 20th century begangrowing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easyfair and clear way to grade students
Todaymore and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect(反映) student learningHoweveras teachers try to improve grading methodsmany parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand So while they might not be perfect the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon
34what does an F stand for in the ABCD and F grading system
35when was the letter grading system first used in the US college
36what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade
37what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century
38why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high schoolI worked parttime helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a matket One dayas I was preparing the fruits A little boy came by with his mom and sister He was about eight years oldand the girlfive or six They were looking the fruits in front of me I heard the kids say to their mom(in French)They＇re good I knew it was French Because I can speak and understand it
Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruitsAt first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out And often asked her son if it looked okay but looked way above where his face was Putting what I saw togetherI was sure she was blind
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad and the daughter handed them to her mom The woman then felt each one and smiled and the daughter would put them into their basket The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did
It was great to witness the moment but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language this is what I regret to this day
24 The women and her kids came to the market to buy
A fruits B vegetables C candies D toys
25 According to what he saw the writer was sure the mother couldn’t
A speak B see C smell D hear
26 The writer was moved because
A the mother was brave to face her problems
B the kids were polite and kind to each other
C the mother was careful in picking out things
D the kids were so willing to help their mother
C
Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功) This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded—using the information on the children’s addresses from birth up through to the time of the study Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力集中)were graded with computers
This is the first study that shows the association between longterm exposure to green space and brain structure Says Dr Payam Dadvand the leading researcher of the study Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain
The findings show that longterm exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests Moreover larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children Another study of 2593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness
Humans are believed to be tied to nature Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn Accordingly green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery creativity and risk taking These exercises in turn positively influence brain development
Dr Dadvand’s study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development it also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations settings and climates And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space
27 The second paragraph is mainly about
A how the study was performed B what was recorded in the study
C how long the study lasted D who took part in the study
28 The word prompt in paragraph 6 probably means
A control B encourage C balance D change
29 What can we learn from the passage
A Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain
B Dr Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment
C Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain
D Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development
D
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our selfimprovement power However there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it The only time we think of unlocking our selfimprovement power is when everything gets worst
When do we realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs have gone bad We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our selfimprovement power is when the whole world is falling apart We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it
Change will happen like it or hate it At one point or another we are all going to finally unlock our selfimprovement power not because the world says so But because we realize it＇s for our own good
Happy people don’t just accept change they embrace (拥抱)it Unlocking our selfimprovement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn＇t have the courage to be around groups of people She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people Over the years that is what Jane has believed Every time a great crowd come she steps back and locks herself up in a room Jane not only believes in her story but lives it
Selfimprovement may not be everybody’s favorite word but if we look at things in a different way we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life Reading books every day would build up knowledge And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our selfimprovement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy
30 The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that
A we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B we are responsible for the problems we meet
C life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D life is a long journey full of ups and downs
31 What is the key to solving Jane’s problem
A She needs to remember why she started
B She has to know how to get on with people
C She has to realize she is not what she is in her story
D She needs to understand the importance of confidence
32 The writer probably agrees that
A the world tells us how to improve ourselves
B people change when they find it easy to do that
C welcoming change in life is a drive to become better
D enjoying the process of selfimprovement makes life simpler
33 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A Is it important to take things light
B Is it necessary to embrace challenges
C To hold on to the last moment or to give up
D To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework you might notice that there is no letter E Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A B C D and F grading system the first four letters are typically considered passing grades An F in this system simply stands forfailThe wordfailhappens to start with the letter F which seems to leave out the letter E The fact．Some schools have U grade forunsatisfactoryor I grade for incomplete
Even with all this said we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College In 1897they began to use the following grading scale
A 95100(excellent) B 8594(good) C 7684(fair)
