Every so often,someone so young does something so amazing that you can’t help but wonder how he manages it.That’s what happened the first time we heard Matthew Whitaker play the piano.Matthew is a jazz pianist who is blind,and since the age of 11,he’s been performing around the world.
Matthew Whitaker was born at 24th week.He weighed 1 pound and 11 ounces.His parents were told he had less than a 50%chance of survival.One of the many complications(并发症)he faced was a disease which led to blindness.
No one in Matthew’s family was a musician,but his grandfather bought him his first keyboard when he was 3 years old.It didn’t take long for Matthew to show that he had a gift.So the Whitakers decided to get Matthew a teacher,which proved to be difficult.“At the time,we got a lot of answers that he’s too young and they don’t know how to teach a blind child,”Moses Whitaker said.“He was 3 years old at the time.”
Finally,Dalia Sakas agreed to meet Matthew.Dalia is the director of music studies at a music school in New York City,a school for the visually impaired.To her surprise,Matthew could 1isten to a piece of music once and then play it.“Because it is rare to meet someone of the world and I want to make that possible.”

For the most part,American children aren’t great at math.But Chinese children tend to be excellent.It’s consistently found Chinese students at the top of the academic pile and Americans much nearer the bottom.
In Lenora Chu’s book“Little Soldiers:An American Boy,a Chinese School”,she begins to reveal the cultural differences that lead to this gap.The differences she notices in children’s focus and discipline are dramatic,but she also notices cultural differences that influence how Chinese schools are run,and the reason why its students test so well.Along with factors such as highly trained teachers and an emphasis on memorizing before pursuing deeper understanding,the difference comes down to a belief that has begun slowly making its way across the US:achievement is the result of hard work,not natural ability.
This approach comes from a firm belief that anything is possible with hard work,with chiku,or“eating bitter”.Studies show that for kids who score poorly.Chinese teachers believe a lack of effort—rather than of smarts—is to blame.
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck,author of“Mindset(心态)”,is responsible for making up the terms“growth mindset”and“fixed mindset”. Chinese students are trained to have a growth mindset:if they aren’t doing well,they’11 work harder,and they’11 be successful.American children tend to be trained to have a fixed mindset about academics:their abilities are largely predetermined and static. If they aren’t doing well,it’s because they’re not good at it.
In America students are told that learning is fun and easy. But real learning is actually very difficult and takes suffering and anxiety.If you’re not willing to go through that you’re not going to learn deeply.The downside is these students often give up when something gets hard or when it’s no longer fun.
8.According to Lenora Chu,what contributes most to the Chinese students’excellent academic performance?
A.School operation model. B.The emphasis on memorizing.
C.High-qualified teachers. D.Chinese culture.
9.According to Chinese teachers,students failing an exam are______.
A.lazy B.slow C.unfocused D.foolish
10.Which of the following is TRUE according to Carol Dweck’s theory?
A.A majority of Chinese students are born excellent learners.
B.American students tend to believe learning ability is genetically determined.
C.Amerlcan students should choose a Chinese school to achieve success.
D.American students are lacking in a fixed mindset,compared to Chinese students.
11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Students should study in a fun way.
B.American students are always anxious about their study.
C.American students have no difficulty in learning deeply.
D.Diligence plays an essential part in learning.

The sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future.It’s happening now,much faster than previously expected,and it's entirely our fault,according to a study puhlished Mooday.
Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade,pollution,habitat loss and the use of toxic substances.The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades.
Gerardo Ceballos González,a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authors of the study,said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014.“173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate.”he told CNN in an email.He and his team found that in the past 100 years,more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct.In the normal course of evolution,such extinctions would have taken up to 10,000 years,they said.
Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history,each wiping out between 70%and 95%of the species of plants,animals and microorganisms.The most recent,66 million years ago,saw dinosaurs disappear.The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment,including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid.
The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different:scientists say it’s caused by humans.The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurt themselves.Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants.
12.What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para.2 mean?
A.Poisonous. B.Useful.
C.Alternative. D.Environment-friendly.
13.How does the writer convince readers of the seriousness of the mass extinctions?
A.By listing reliable statistics.
B.By imagining a picture of the extinctions.
C.By mentioning some news from CNN.
D.By explaining the history of the extinctions.
14.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To tell the difference between the fifth and sixth extinction.
B.To explain the cause of the coronavirus crisis.
C.To warn humans to get rid of their wrong actions.
D.To show the writer’s concern about the endangered species.
15.What does this article mainly talk about?
A.The changes of the environment do harm to wildlife.
B.The sixth mass extinction is much faster than expected.
C.Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.
D.The current coronavirus has arisen from the illegal trade.

I have a friend who is afraid of spiders.This isn’t very unusual;a lot of people are afraid of spiders.I don’t really like spiders much myself.But my friend isn’t afraid of spiders in any normal way.She isn’t just afraid of spiders,she is totally,completely and utterly terrified of them.When she sees a spider,she shivers all over and sometimes she freezes completely—she can’t move at all because she is so scared.Sometimes she even faints.
She decided to do something about her terror,so she went to visit a doctor.After knowing my friend’s situation,the doctor got out a small spider from his desk.It wasn’t a real spider.It was made of plastic.Even so,my friend screamed when she saw it.“Don’t worry,”said the doctor.“It’s not a real spider.”“I know,”said my friend.“But I’m afraid of it just the same.”
“Hmm,”said the doctor.“A serioos case...”He put the plastic spider on the desk.When my friend stopped screaming,the doctor told her to touch it.When she stopped screaming again—the idea of touching the plastic spider was enough to make her scream—she touched it.At first she touched it for just one second.She shivered all over,but at least she managed to touch it.“OK,”said the psychiatrist.“that’s all for today and you can go home now.”
My friend went back the next day,and found the plastic spider was already on the doctor’s desk.This time she touched it and held it for five minutes.Then the doctor told her to go home and come back the next day.The next day she went back and the plastic spider was on her chair.She had to move the spider so she could sit down.The next day she held the spider in her hand while she sat in her chair.The next day,the doctor gave her the plastic spider and told her to take it home with her.After a deep breath,she agreed.

The next day,she went back with the plastic spider and then she had a shock...a big shock._______________________________________________________________________

The sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future.It’s happening now,much faster than previously expected,and it's entirely our fault,according to a study puhlished Mooday.
Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade,pollution,habitat loss and the use of toxic substances.The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades.
Gerardo Ceballos González,a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authors of the study,said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014.“173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate.”he told CNN in an email.He and his team found that in the past 100 years,more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct.In the normal course of evolution,such extinctions would have taken up to 10,000 years,they said.
Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history,each wiping out between 70%and 95%of the species of plants,animals and microorganisms.The most recent,66 million years ago,saw dinosaurs disappear.The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment,including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid.
The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different:scientists say it’s caused by humans.The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurt themselves.Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants.
12.What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para.2 mean?
A.Poisonous. B.Useful.
C.Alternative. D.Environment-friendly.
13.How does the writer convince readers of the seriousness of the mass extinctions?
A.By listing reliable statistics.
B.By imagining a picture of the extinctions.
C.By mentioning some news from CNN.
D.By explaining the history of the extinctions.
14.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To tell the difference between the fifth and sixth extinction.
B.To explain the cause of the coronavirus crisis.
C.To warn humans to get rid of their wrong actions.
D.To show the writer’s concern about the endangered species.
15.What does this article mainly talk about?
A.The changes of the environment do harm to wildlife.
B.The sixth mass extinction is much faster than expected.
C.Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.
D.The current coronavirus has arisen from the illegal trade.

I have a friend who is afraid of spiders.This isn’t very unusual;a lot of people are afraid of spiders.I don’t really like spiders much myself.But my friend isn’t afraid of spiders in any normal way.She isn’t just afraid of spiders,she is totally,completely and utterly terrified of them.When she sees a spider,she shivers all over and sometimes she freezes completely—she can’t move at all because she is so scared.Sometimes she even faints.
She decided to do something about her terror,so she went to visit a doctor.After knowing my friend’s situation,the doctor got out a small spider from his desk.It wasn’t a real spider.It was made of plastic.Even so,my friend screamed when she saw it.“Don’t worry,”said the doctor.“It’s not a real spider.”“I know,”said my friend.“But I’m afraid of it just the same.”
“Hmm,”said the doctor.“A serioos case...”He put the plastic spider on the desk.When my friend stopped screaming,the doctor told her to touch it.When she stopped screaming again—the idea of touching the plastic spider was enough to make her scream—she touched it.At first she touched it for just one second.She shivered all over,but at least she managed to touch it.“OK,”said the psychiatrist.“that’s all for today and you can go home now.”
My friend went back the next day,and found the plastic spider was already on the doctor’s desk.This time she touched it and held it for five minutes.Then the doctor told her to go home and come back the next day.The next day she went back and the plastic spider was on her chair.She had to move the spider so she could sit down.The next day she held the spider in her hand while she sat in her chair.The next day,the doctor gave her the plastic spider and told her to take it home with her.After a deep breath,she agreed.

The next day,she went back with the plastic spider and then she had a shock...a big shock._______________________________________________________________________
