Sadaf’s childhd was happy. She enjyed ging t schl and meeting her friends. But ne day, she returned hme running a high temperature.
“We thught it was regular flu. But we were tld that I wuld nt be able t walk ever again nw,” she recalls.
Sadaf was just 10 years ld then. After the family was turned dwn by dctrs in Kashmir, they went t Mumbai, where an peratin was perfrmed t treat her legs. But eventually, Sadaf had t rely n a wheelchair t mve arund. By this time, she had t discntinue her educatin.
Things wrsened when her father, her “nly surce f supprt”, passed away. “Everyne except my father dubted my capabilities. But he always encuraged me t dream big. I missed him. There were days when I wuld end up crying all day, sitting alne in my rm. I was getting int depressin,” she says.
“By nw, I’ve realized that I have t either end my life r struggle t prve myself. I chse the latter. I wanted t prve t the wrld that peple like me can als achieve smething. I had just lst my ability t walk, nt my ability t use my brain,” she adds.
That is when Sadaf decided t step up fr herself. In 2015, she pened a shp but had t shut it a cuple f years later as the wrk affected her eyesight. She says, “But I wanted t try my hands at everything. S I decided t play basketball as well. I have als been awarded multiple times by the Jammu and Kashmir Basketball Assciatin.”
Recently, Sadaf tried selling unique spices f the Kashmir valley. “Tday, I have established my wn business withut anyne’s emtinal r financial supprt. Peple wuld questin me what I culd achieve sitting in a wheelchair, when their educated and able-bdied children sat idly (闲散地). Nw the very same peple give my example t thers,” she says.
Sadaf believes that peple with disabilities shuld never dubt themselves. “If yu hear thers say smething nt s psitive, yu may end up depressed. Instead f living within the cnfines (限制) f a rm, try t prve yurself,” she advises.

A new study frm the Netherlands has fund that an imprtant factr in a child’s ultimate level f educatin, even mre imprtant than their wn family’s ecnmic situatin, is whether they grw up with rich neighbrs nearby.
Researcher Agata Trst and her clleagues at Delft University f Technlgy used a natinal database t track the address f every Dutch baby brn in 1995, a ttal f 140,338 peple, frm birth t age 23. Using gelcating sftware, they drew up a sciecnmic prfile (概况) fr each child’s immediate neighbrhd, figuring the percentage f neighbrs wh were rich, middle class r disadvantaged.
After cntrlling a number f ther factrs, including parents’ earnings and levels f educatin, the researchers fund that a child’s wn experience f wealth r pverty mattered less t their ultimate level f schling than expsure t well-ff neighbrs. The data suggest that grwing up in a rich area, with well-maintained parks, libraries and sccer fields, as well as interactins with educated neighbrs, culd bst a pr child’s ability t see beynd their immediate hrizns (眼界).
“Rich families create neighbrhds and activities that create pprtunities,” said Ms. Trst, and these advantages are shared with ther children wh happen t live nearby. The finding eches an earlier study by Mr. Chetty and his clleagues, which shwed that having even ne inspiring teacher in middle schl can imprve a student’s career prspects. Whether in the classrm r n the street, it seems that scial interactins utside the family can start a yung persn’s mtivatin and ambitin.
At the same time, the study als stressed the imprtance f the hme envirnment. When parents are well educated, children are likely t be, t. And that’s the mral f the stry: Neighbrhds can have different effects n different children, depending n hw educated their parents are, whether they are male r female, and hw much casual cntact they have with peple wh are different frm their wn families. “Lcatin, lcatin, lcatin” may be a ld saying fr buying a huse, but we’re learning that it als hlds true fr children’s develpment.
28. What aspect f the research is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Its purpse.B. Its principle.C. Its methd.D. Its result.
29. What des the underlined wrd “eches” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ges against.B. Agrees with.C. Wrks fr.D. Relates t.
30. Where is the text prbably taken frm?
A. An advertisement.B. A nvel.C. A magazine.D. A guidebk.
31. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Benefits f Educated ParentsB. The Pwer f a Gd Neighbrhd
C. The Decisive Factr in a Child’s GrwthD. The Lcatin Yur New Huse Shuld Have
D
Imagine yu need milk, s yu g t the grcery stre t pick sme up, nly t find there are dzens f ptins. These days, yu have t make a decisin n nt nly the percentage f fat yu want, but als what surce yu want yur milk t be cming frm: cws, sybeans... Yu have n idea what milk t pick. There are s many chices that yu are cnfused.
This phenmenn is knwn as the paradx (悖论) f chice and it is becming a cncern in the mdern wrld, where mre and mre ptins are becming easily available t us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple ptins actually makes it easier t chse ne that we are happy with, and thus increases cnsumer satisfactin, having t many ptins actually requires mre effrt t make a decisin and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with ur chice.
The idea was ppularized by American psychlgist Barry Schwartz when he published his bk, The Paradx f Chice: Why Mre Is Less. Schwartz, wh has lng studied the ways in which ecnmics and psychlgy intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that chices were affecting the happiness f citizens in Western scieties. He identified that the range f chices that we have available t us these days is far greater than that peple had in the past; hwever, cnsumer satisfactin has nt increased as much as traditinal ecnmics theries might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradx f chice carries the mst cnsequence fr peple that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are cncerned with making the best chice instead f simply making a chice that they are happy with. When there are many ptins available t maximizers, it becmes harder fr them t determine which is the best, which can cause them t feel a great deal f regret after they have made a chice.
Instead f believing that freedm f chice is unlimited, Schwartz advcates that the rle f psychlgy and behaviral ecnmics shuld be t find the kind f limitatins n freedm that can lead t the greatest level f happiness within sciety.
32. What’s the authr’s purpse in mentining buying milk in paragraph 1?
A. T lead in the tpic.
B. T draw a cnclusin.
C. T shw that we have mre chices when shpping.
D. T indicate that peple pay greater attentin t health when shpping.
33. What des the paradx f chice suggest?
A. Mre ptins mean less satisfactin.
B. Cnsumer satisfactin has greatly increased.
C. Peple are happy with mre chices.
D. Mdern peple are happier than their ancestrs.
34. What can be learned abut satisficers?
A. They aim fr the very best.B. They tend t fllw their feelings.
C. They ften regret their decisins.D. They have truble making a decisin.
35. What des Schwartz suggest peple d?
A. Hld n t their beliefs.B. Accept their wn behavir.
C. Give up freedm.D. Limit their wn chices.

W: Cllege students need t be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students prbably have t read several hundred pages every week. They dn’t have time t read a chapter three r fur times. They need t btain the main infrmatin frm the first r secnd reading.
An extrardinarily imprtant study skill is knwing hw t mark a bk. Students mark the main ideas and imprtant details with a pen r pencil, yellw r blue r range. Sme students mark new vcabulary in a different clr. Mast students write questins r shrt ntes in the empty space. Marking a bk is a useful skill, but it’s imprtant t d it right. Yu shuld decide n yur wn system fr marking. Fr example, maybe yu will mark main ideas in yellw, imprtant details in blue and new wrds in range. Maybe yu will put questin marks in the empty space when yu dn’t understand smething. And befre an exam, yu just need t review yur marks and yu can save a lt f time.

I turned n the TV t shift my fcus, but it didn’t wrk. My mind was cnsumed with cncern fr Eric. I culdn’t shake ff the image f him lying in the hspital bed unaccmpanied, still battling the discmfrt f the peratin. I questined whether he was receiving the care he needed. The nurse’s ffer t call r text me did little t ease my cncern, with wrries fr him flding in. The minutes seemed t drag n endlessly as I anxiusly awaited any updates.
Arund midnight, I heard my phne receive a message. Anxiusly, I reached fr it, hping fr an update n Eric’s cnditin. “He’s fine nw. He just fell asleep,” it read. “Yu shuld get sme rest nw, t.” A wave f cmfrt washed ver me as I absrbed the reassuring wrds. I decided t fllw her advice. As I settled int the htel bed, the wrry that had weighed me dwn began t lsen is hld. I clsed my eyes, allwing the exhaustin f the day t catch up with me.
