As a 10-month-old boy, Peter got cancer. He was given strong medicines to treat his cancer. Because of that, he lost his hearing. “Give him the best you can,” his doctors said to Peter’s parents, giving him two months to live. Amazingly, several months later a doctor succeeded in cutting out the cancer. Peter was sent home. Sadly, it was not over. After a few years, another cancer grew in his leg. The choice was clear: Lose the leg, or lose the boy. Peter’s leg was cut off.
However, it does not stop him from doing what he wants. Peter is 12 years old now, and he has turned his powers to helping others. He saw that most books about children losing their hearing “are really bad”. He decided to write his own, called Peter Learns to Listen. His book offers tips to children with hearing problems. Moreover, to help the young patients at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Peter started the Peter Powerhouse Foundation (基金会). The foundation has raised thousands of dollars. The money bought 100 wagons (推车) for the children at the hospital. Peter is hoping to raise even more money.

What’s your dream job? How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a very common problem among young teenagers: Most of them have little idea about their career plans as there is too little help from school or family.
To offer teenagers helpful advice on career, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO.1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader.
According to students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 excellent workers with different jobs and put their interviews on the Internet. These workers shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs further.
“We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face,” said Wang.
Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. This is not easy.”
But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint (使失望) students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the workers’ love and spirit of never giving up instead of the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.”
52. Why did the students start “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”?
A. To provide useful career advice for teenagers.
B. To turn students’ dream jobs into beautiful poems.
C. To deal with problems students may meet in family.
D. To help students communicate with different people.
53. The project can help students do the following things EXCEPT ________.
A. learning about the true job situation
B. interviewing team members face to face
C. getting chances to talk to excellent workers
D. having a better understanding of different jobs
54. What does the project member Lu Jinyan think of being a photographer now?
A. Cool and romantic. B. Hard and challenging.
C. Exciting and amazing. D. Practical and meaningful.
55. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Knowing your dream jobs B. Dealing with your study problems
C. Communicating with people D. Helping teenagers have interviews
D
Feeling upset (沮丧的) is part of life. Sometimes stress happens at home or school. It may leave us feeling angry or worried. We cannot control (控制) everything that happens around us. However, we can learn to calm ourselves down. With practice, we can learn useful ways to keep cool when we feel upset.
Remove yourself from the situation
Disagreements with other people can be hard to deal with. They can lead to upset feelings. Sometimes we need to get away from the situation. It is OK to say, “I’m going to take a break.” Then you can go for a walk. Or you can find a quiet place to sit. The purpose is to give yourself some space to calm down.
Accept your thoughts
Feeling upset is natural. Everyone gets upset sometimes. Accepting that we are upset is healthy. If we accept it, we can choose what to do about it. We can even talk to ourselves about how we’re feeling. When you are upset, say something like this in your head, “I’m feeling really upset right now. That is OK. I can control what I do next.”
Change your language
When we’re upset, sometimes we use unkind words to punish ourselves. We don’t have to do that. To calm down, we can try to say something to make ourselves feel comfortable. For example, instead of saying, “I am always in trouble,” we might say, “I made a mistake. It happens to everyone. Next time I’ll do it differently.”
Do breathing (呼吸) exercises
When we feel upset, the heart beats faster. The body prepares as if it is going to be in a fight. You can use breathing to calm down. If possible, find a place where you can sit comfortably. Then focus on (专注于) your breath, breathing deeply and slowly. This practice slows down the heart and helps us calm down.
56. The underlined expression “give yourself some space” in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A. going for a walk B. spending time alone
C. working with others D. stopping being friends
57. If you try to accept your thoughts, you can ______.
A. keep quiet to relax yourself
B. get away from the situation
C. find it’s OK to be upset sometimes
D. talk with your best friends to ask for advice
58. How can we do breathing exercises according to the article?
①Pay attention to our breath.
②Try to take a deep and slow breath.
③Talk to ourselves to slow down the heart.
④Find a comfortable place to sit if possible.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
59. From the article, we can know that ______.
A. disagreements with others can lead to upset feelings
B. it’s necessary to use unkind words to punish ourselves
C. we are able to control everything that happens around us
D. doing breathing exercises helps to make the heart beat faster
60. The article is mainly about ______.
A. how to calm down when you are upset
B. how to talk to others about being upset
C. how to take a break when feeling upset
D. how to ask for help when you feel upset

matters too much hard mistakes learn from


Everyone might get things wrong. Everyone is “boring” sometimes. That’s OK!
If 71 are made, don’t take them too seriously. Sometimes our mistakes can be things to laugh at and 72 . Also, you don’t worry 73 about what people think of you. Every time you’re doing your best, then that’s what 74 .
If you went on to feel like this, talk to a teacher and your parents. Maybe you just need a little help. I think when you’re going through a 75 period, you may feel a bit low. But that will pass. Be confident, be you and do the things that make you happy.

Hou Yifan, a 28-year-old girl, is a “queen of chess” in China. People around the world are impressed by the great chess player.
Hou started to play chess at 5 years old in1999. At that time, her parents took Hou to try different mind games at a training center. “With the special shapes (形状), I was interested in the chess and wanted to take it up,” said Hou.
After playing for two years as a hobby, Hou met her coach, a great master Tong Yuanming and began a kind of new training. “Chess is a mind game full of changes. So I should learn skills from others and keep practising chess in my daily life,” Hou said.
Luckily, what she did was soon rewarded (回报). At 13, she became China’s youngest National Women’s Champion and then became the youngest chess champion in the world at 16.
Although she was well-known all over the world, she still wanted to keep improving. Having focused on international chess for a long time, Hou then wanted to study in the college. She went to Peking University in 2012. Several years later, she went on to study in the University of Oxford. “I must know more,” she said. “I would like to open my eyes to see the whole world.”
Now, the 28-year-old lady has become a teacher at Shenzhen University. She hopes to “connect the methods she learned in China to the West and allow international chess to reach more young Chinese people”.

Growing up is not always easy. When you face difficulties, a spirit of depending on y 86 is more useful than crying for help. That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of g 87 from boy to man with family difficulties tells us.
Hong was born in 1982 in a p 88 family in Xihua County(县), Henan Province. When he was only 11, his father became b 89 ill and one day he came back home with an unwanted baby girl. A year later, Hong’s mother left home. She no longer wanted to l 90 such a hard life and face her sick husband. So everything fell onto the young boy’s shoulders: to take care of his father and his younger sister Chenchen, and to go on to study.
Although his life was hard, Hong didn’t go a 91 from his father and sister. He took several part-time jobs to feed his family. He even c 92 bottles and paper to make money in his free time. A few years later, he studied at a c 93 for higher education. To look after Chenchen, he worked hard to rent (租) a room for her, and sent her to school.
Hong became a h 94 in people’s eyes after his story went public. But Hong r 95 offers from others. He said he felt thankful for kind offers, but he could depend on his own work. Thanks to his hard life, he has grown up from boy to man.
