“Have yu checked the il in the car?” my father used t say t me, his versin f “Hell, hpe yu are well.” Smetimes ur phne calls wuld begin with an inquiry abut the il and end with ne abut the il.
Fathers have a lt f lve t give, but it’s ften supplied thrugh the medium f practical advice. In my experience: It’s mstly abut yur mtr vehicle.
My student car—an ld green Tyta bught fr $500—was the vehicle fr which my father carved his paternal affectins(父爱). I bet it’s always been s. Back in ancient Rme, the father wuld test the sn n the state f his carriage.
Why can’t fathers just say “I lve yu” r “It’s great t see yu”? The pint is: Yu just have t translate frm the language that is Fatherlish. Listen clsely enugh and the phrase lve yu can be heard in the slightly lengthier “I culd cme arund Saturday and replace the seal(密封圈)arund the base f yur tilet because I assume that thing is getting really smelly.”
The affectinate phrase “Yu made my life better frm the mment yu were brn” may be rarely heard, but there is the mre cmmn “I’ll hld the ladder while yu get the leaves ff the rf.”
When I was 17, I went n my first rad trip in that Tyta. My father std n the cmer. “Highways are dangerus,” he said, “s dn’t try vertaking anything faster than a hrse and carriage. And take a break every tw hurs. And every time yu stp fr gas, yu really shuld check the il.” At the time we thught his speech was pretty funny and wuld repeat “hrse-and-carriage” every time I sped up t vertake sme ther speeding vehicle.
Dad’s lng gne nw. But after all these years, I realize that had I wned a cpy f the Fatherlish-t-English dictinary, I’d have understd that the speech my friend and I s ignred was simply dad’s attempt at affectin.
24. Accrding t the authr, a typical father’s greetings may start with “______”.
A. Lk wh it is!B. Everything OK?
C. Hi, sweetheart!D. Hw’s the leak in the ceiling?
25. What did the authr's ld Tyta mean t his father?
A. A symbl f his sn’s admiratin.
B. A medium fr his paternal lve.
C. A sign f a mdernized lifestyle.
D. A turning pint in the family life.
26. Why des the authr mentin certain daily phrases in Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. T shw the fatherlish’s influence n kids.
B. T illustrate a dad’s lving cncern fr kids.
C. T prve the usefulness f a dad’s greetings.
D. T cmpare different versins f fatherlish.
27. What is prbably the best title fr the passage?
A. Speaking Fluent FatherlishB. Remembering Very Mments
C. Displaying Parental LveD. Giving Practical Advice

What kind f peple can becme scientists? When a grup f researchers psed that questin t ninth-and 10th-graders, almst every student gave such respnses as “Peple wh wrk hard” r “Anyne wh seems interested in the field f science.”
Many f these same students struggled t imagine themselves as scientists, citing cncerns such as “I'm nt gd at science” and “Even if I wrk hard, I will nt d well.” It's easy fr them t see a scientist’s wrk as arising frm an inbrn talent.
But fr high schl students, learning mre abut sme struggles f scientists can help students feel mre mtivated t learn science. Researchers at Teachers Cllege, Clumbia University and the University f Washingtn designed an interventin t change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effrt by expsing students t stries f hw accmplished scientists struggled and vercame challenges in their scientific effrts.
During the study, the students read ne f three types f stries abut Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stries: stries abut hw scientists "struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific prblem and learning frm them. Life struggle stries: stries abut hw scientists struggled in their persnal lives, such as nt giving up in the face f pverty r lack f family supprt. Achievement stries: stries abut hw scientists made great discveries, withut any discussin f cexisting challenges.
Researchers fund that students wh heard either type f “struggle stries” imprved their science perfrmance pst-interventin, relative t students in the cntrl grup. The effect was especially prnunced fr lwer perfrming students, fr whm expsure t struggling stries led t significantly better science-class perfrmance than lw-perfrming students wh read achievement stries. In additin, students wh read struggle stries reprted feeling mre persnally cnnected t the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and intrducing the grwth mindset he r she applied t accmplish great wrks, the students were able t empathize (共情)with the scientists during their wn struggles.
28 Why d students fail t imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science.B. They dn’t pssess inbrn talent,
C. They are shrt f cnfidence.D. They have n ability t study science
29. What’s the purpse f the interventin?
A. T intrduce sme inspiratinal stries t students.
B. T expse students t scientists’ great achievements.
C. T ensure students will becme scientists in the future.
D. T clear students’ misunderstandings f scientific wrk.
30. The underlined wrd “prnunced” in the last paragraph is clsest in meaning t ______.
31 A. delicateB. permanentC. dubtfulD. apparent
31. What can we learn frm the research?
A. Science ability has nthing t d with effrts.
B. Students are mre mtivated by achievement stries.
C. Scientists’ struggle stries can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Lw-perfrming students tend t feel cnnected t scientists.

A terrible thing happened t me while I was watching TV recently: I realized that I had aged. Nw f curse I knw that I am aging, it’s just that I hadn’t realized quite hw ld I was until I saw a participant wh I recgnized n a reality TV shw. Well, I didn’t recgnize her but I recgnized her name, I’d slightly knwn her in my 20s when she’d been the celebrity wh had stlen my rmmates’ byfriends.
Hwever, here’s the thing that shcked me—I hadn’t recgnized her because rather than the beauty I remembered, n my TV was a middle-aged mum cking. And then it hit me: that’s what I lk like t.
It’s a particularly cruel change f nature that we can’t see urselves as thers d. We see ur wn face s ften that the wrinkles that start t cut thrugh it just g unnticed. Occasinally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly ur bdies stp wrking as expected but, fr the mst part, we’re left t get n with grwing ld withut t many reminders. But when yu get a ! Since that shw aired, I have sat in frnt f the mirrr analyzing my face and wndering hw I came t lk s like my mther withut nticing. I’ve als realized that my waist n lnger fits int baby fat but a middle-aged spread.
I als fear that I dn’t knw what middle age lks like fr my generatin. Did my mther still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years lder? And why d I nt feel like I’m where I shuld be as I apprach 40? I definitely remember writing a list f things I will have achieved by the time I’m 40 at 19. Where is the huse in the Suth f France r the Prsche 911 she s desperately wanted?
Since then, I’ve started t redefine myself. I dn’t want t put everything dwn t age but I can’t quite stp myself. Tired again? Must be my age. Thank Gd then fr scial media. All arund me I see amazing wmen at the ther end f their 40s. They’ve accepted their age and seem t lve it, s I’m hpeful that as I mve int the next decade that will be me t. And maybe I’ll get the Prsche befre I’m 50.
32. What is implied in Paragraph 1?
A. The authr has been friends with the TV celebrity.
B. The TV celebrity used t be ppular amng bys.
C. The TV celebrity nw lives a life f extreme luxury.
D. The aging prcess desn’t affect the TV celebrity.
33. In mst cases, hw d we perceive the aging prcess?
A. We clearly knw what happens.B. It is very likely t slip ur mind.
C. We can accept it quite peacefully.D. It always brings abut hpelessness.
34. The underlined wrd “that” in the last paragraph refers t ______.
A. a lady denying being ld B. the ambitius self aged 19
C. a wman accepting her ageD. the celebrity n the TV shw
35. What is the theme f this article?
A. It matters nt hw lng we live but hw.
B. Wrinkles are just evidence f great wisdm.
C. Age is a very high price t pay fr maturity.
D. The best tunes are played n the ldest vilins.

M: Gd mrning, everyne. I’ve cme here t talk t yu abut the cmpany’s new plan t encurage emplyees t cme t wrk by bike instead f by car. First f all, let’s lk at the benefits t emplyees.
One f the bvius benefits is financial—bviusly it csts a lt t buy and run a car, and bicycles are much cheaper. Cyclists dn’t have t pay rad tax r insurance. And cycling will als reduce the amunt f time it takes them t get t and frm wrk. The health benefits f the plan are prbably well knwn. Studies have shwn that cycling fur miles a day halves the risk f heart disease. Anther health benefit is that cycling can reduce stress, s it helps yu t arrive at wrk r at hme feeling gd.
Well, let me just tell yu a bit mre abut the plan itself The cmpany will lend yu up t a thusand dllars t buy a bike and all the necessary safety equipment and yu wn’t have t pay any interest r any tax n that amunt.
Yu’ll just repay it ver three years. Yu are allwed t buy tw bikes—but n mre—with yur lan, and that’s if yu live a lng way frm wrk. This allws yu t cycle t yur nearest statin, leave ne bike there, get a train, pick up the secnd bicycle at yur arrival statin, and then cycle frm there t wrk. Ancient Graffiti
Sme f the first graffiti artists were the Vikings. Yu can read sme at a prehistric site in Sctland. The Vikings brke int the burial site abut 800 years ag, hping t find treasure. Unfrtunately, there wasn’t any; hwever, the cave was a gd place t shelter frm the terrible strm that night, where the Vikings left messages n the walls t pass the time. Interestingly, many f the things they wrte are typical f mdem-day graffiti, fr example “Benedikt made this crss.”
Plitical Graffiti
At times, graffiti is used t make plitical statements. During Wrld Ⅱ, peple in ccupied Hlland painted range victry “V” signs n walls in majr twns. Here’s anther example: “N mre wars!”
American Graffiti
During the 1970s a new type f graffiti became ppular in the States: tagging(标记). Bands f yungsters slipped away int the streets at night with cans f paint and left their tags n as many walls as pssible. Sme peple see this frm f graffiti as an example f urban art; thers see it as an example f urban decline.
British Graffiti
In Britain, ne f the mst ppular frms f graffiti is knwn as “tilet graffiti”, which is cmmn n the walls f public tilets all ver the cuntry. He graffiti ften cnsists f a funny r rude cmment. Occasinally it will be a respnse t anther piece f graffiti, r at ther times it will be a plitical cmment.
