Know me before you judge me

When I first started to work on this story, I thought maybe I shouldn’t do it. I thought you might see that I have Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), and that you wouldn’t like me.

My mom thinks that’s silly. “Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like you because you have Down syndrome?” she asks me. She’s right, of course. When people ask me what Down syndrome is, I tell them it’s an intellectual disability (智力残疾) that makes it harder for me to learn things.

I just want to be like everyone else. But having Down syndrome is what makes me “me”. And I’m proud of who I am. I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.

A lot like you

Even though I have Down syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school.

Some of my classes are with typical (正常的) kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have a helper who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me advice on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also make myself do well. For example, my goal (目标) was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. And that’s exactly what happened this year!

Dream job: singer

I try not to let anything get me down and just think of all the good things in my life, like that I’ve made two songs. Right now, someone else is singing my songs, but someday, I want to be the one singing.

See me

But I still have to tell myself all the time that it really is OK to just be myself. I can’t change that I have Down syndrome, but one thing I would change is how people think of me. I’d tell them: Judge (评价) me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Respect (尊重) me and accept me for who I am. Most important, just be my friend. After all, I would do the same for you.

36．The writer has Down syndrome, so ________.

A．people don’t like her at all B．it’s harder for her to learn things

C．she wrote many good stories D．finding a job is nearly impossible

37．When the writer was in 12th grade, ________.

A．she joined the school swim team B．she gave advice on how to study

C．she was in a typical English class D．she helped some kids with biology

38．From the story, we know the writer is ________.

A．clever and helpful B．shy and unconfident

C．lonely and nervous D．active and hardworking

39．The story mainly tells us ________.

A．we can change other people by offering help to them

B．we should understand and respect people with disabilities

C．people usually judge others by their success and appearance

D．people can make songs to help people with Down syndrome

Although we may not have the ability to paint the Mona Lisa, create music like Mozart, or write novels like Hemingway, everyone is born with a special ability — creativity (创造力). Some people can find and learn to show it early, while others might discover it later in life. We are all creative, and we need to create as much as we need to eat, breathe and sleep. Creativity has different meanings for different people, but unluckily a lot of things may stifle the development of it. And the importance of creativity is not valued as much as it should be. However, it has a powerful effect (影响) on one’s overall ability to get true happiness and success in life. If we stifle our creativity or lower its importance, we may create blockages (阻碍) in other parts of life. This can stop us from improving things like health, work and personal relationships.

No matter how busy one is, it is very important to leave some time to develop creativity. Trying out different hobbies is a great way to discover one’s creativity because it can be very enjoyable. Some people find one hobby and fall deeply in love with it. Some people prefer to try different hobbies for short time, or change them up each season to stay interested and keep trying different things.

One great thing about a hobby is that there are no set rules. Each person gets to decide how often they want to do it and whether they want to keep it for a long time or move on to something else after trying it for a few weeks or months.

Another cool thing about hobbies is that one can enjoy them quietly when spending some free time alone, or as a way to fit in a community (集体). Book clubs, art or cooking classes, gardening clubs — nearly every type of hobby offers a chance to meet with other people with the same interest and build relationships. This could be helpful on both a personal and a professional (专业的) level. Hobbies can be a great way to create a community among co-workers. Sometimes if co-workers are not getting along, having them take part in a seemingly non-work-related hobby can be great for creating common ground.

Usually, the simple act of developing hobbies can provide a chance for a person to find and show his or her creativity, which will produce great active changes. When people experience something as simple and great as creating something beautiful through hobbies, they begin to look at the world — and daily environments — in a fresh, new way.

40．From the passage, we can know ________.

A．we are all born with creativity B．creativity comes from happiness

C．people usually value creativity very much D．creativity means the same thing to everyone

41．The underlined word “stifle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.

A．improve B．produce C．stop D．lose

42．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．There are no set rules to develop creativity.

B．Trying different hobbies has lots of advantages.

C．It’s enjoyable to try different hobbies at different time.

D．We can develop creativity by trying different hobbies.

43．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．taking up simple hobbies won’t change people’s lives

B．creativity can help people to look at the world actively

C．it’s better to have a long-time hobby than find a new one

D．enjoying a hobby alone can help fit in a community well

八、阅读回答问题

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

The Ross family is a busy one. The parents, Margy and Scott, both work for big companies and usually spend lots of time traveling for their jobs. Their daughter, Katie, is busy with schoolwork.

Needless to say, great family time is hard to come by. So, vacations are very important. They can help the family grow together.

When Scott didn’t have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor (劳动) along with a cultural experience. By searching for international volunteering (志愿服务) chances on the Internet, she found Global Volunteers.

Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica. They really loved being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries. Six months later for their Christmas trip, they went back, taking Scott this time.

Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year. As Margy says, “It’s almost like summer camp for the family.”

For Scott, this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal satisfaction.

“You can really see the fruits of your labor—school dining room and community center,” he says. “And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it’s great to see the community become a better place.”

There was an especially unforgettable experience for the family one year when they visited their local volunteer leader Roberto, who was badly ill.

“Katie and I visited Roberto every day for fifteen minutes. On the last night of our trip, Roberto told us he was thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers,” recalls Margy.

Thinking about the experiences, Scott suggests that families do volunteering together on vacations for many reasons. “There are no expensive hotels,” he says, “but it’s a great way to model some great behaviors (行为) for your kids. I never expected this impacted (影响) Katie. She’s now taking two language classes in high school and hoping to learn about international development in college.”

44．What did Margy plan in 2004?

________________________________

45．Where did Margy and Katie take part in the building project?

46．How long does the Ross family vacation last each year?

47．Why did Roberto feel thankful for his volunteering work?

48．What are the advantages of family volunteering vacations?

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。

Sagarika Sriram was just 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories about a planet in trouble. One story was about a whale that was washed up on the beach after an oil spill. Another was about turtles found with plastic (塑料) in their stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. So, she joined a group that organized (组织) cleanup activities in Dubai, her home city, in the United Arab Emirates. “The experience helped me understand what a person could do and how I could really make a difference,” she says.

But personal power is the strongest on a larger level. So, in 2016, Sagarika created Kids for a Better World. It’s a digital platform (数字平台) that has brought together nearly 10,000 kids from all over the world. Its goal is to fight climate change.

Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing body of young climate activists who are working together in the name of a cleaner, healthier future. “We’re the group that is going to face the results if the climate crisis (气候危机) is not solved,” Sagarika says. As well as online activities, Sagarika organizes local cleanups on beaches and deserts in the United Arab Emirates, collecting litter. She believes even small personal actions can create a “ripple effect (连锁反应),” building energy in the right direction. “Change can be created on large levels with even small actions,” she says.

Kids for a Better World is for people aged from 8 to 16. The platform teaches them about what they can do at home and in their community to reverse (逆转) climate change. They can grow food or plant trees. They can collect recyclables (可回收物品) and avoid using plastic bags. These are lessons that Sagarika wants schools to teach. “This is the information which can help change our future,” she says.

Growing up in a desert city has made Sagarika know better about the need for action. Her city faces risks from rising temperatures and decreasing amounts of water. She believes those kids can bring attention to these environmental problems. “When children speak out a message, and they go door-to-door telling people about this, they can understand what’s going on,” she says.

Even if she’s all about small actions, Sagarika has big plans. She’d like to study at Stanford University, in California. And while she’s there, she’ll keep being an activist and running Kids for a Better World. Sagarika hopes to inspire (激励) others to fight for a greener planet, as others have inspired her. “We’re happy to see so many inspirational change-makers,” she says.

49．What did Sagarika understand after joining the cleanup group?

_________________________________________

50．How did Sagarika inspire more people to fight climate change?

_________________________________________

51．What do you think of Sagarika’s actions on fighting for a greener planet? Why do you think so? (In about 40 words. At least one point and two reasons. )

My best friend

Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Ming. Everyone needs friends. So do I. And I think a good friend plays a very important role in my growth.

My best friend is Linda, a tall slim girl with long black hair and big eyes. She always wears a smile on her face. I remember the first day when I came to the new school, I felt very nervous. At that moment, Linda came up to me and said “hi”. Then she introduced each teacher to me and shared some funny stories in our class. It made me feel warm and relieved.

Since then, we have been best friends. She has shown me how to be a kind and helpful person who brings care and love to others.
