A
Not every kid can be a professional athlete, but they can learn the great life lessons from the following storybooks about sports.
Soccer Star
Age:4-8
Young Paulo Marcelo Feliciano dreams of becoming a super soccer player, but his little sister, to whom he teaches soccer moves every day, shines after a key player’s injury. Soccer Star teaches acceptance and celebrates Brazil’s diverse culture and the hope of the poor for a better future.
Tillie the Terrible Swede
Age:5-8
Tillie Anderson tore up her fancy lady’s dress and sewed herself a cycling outfit that had both good form and function. The tight-fitting get up allowed her to become a world champion racer when most women were admired for their graceful dancing, and proved long before Lance Armstrong that you didn’t need to be male to rule the cycling world.
Jim Thorpe’s Bright Path

Age:6-9
Jim Thorpe was a native American who overcame discrimination to become one of America’s best athletes winning gold medals at the 1912 Olympics. He was also all-American and professional football player, and played professional baseball and basketball. So, he deserves to be your kid’s first sport hero.
America’s Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle
Age:4-7
Not only did Trudy Ederle win 3 Olympic medals at age 17, she was also the first woman to swim across the 20-mile English Channel. And she did it in world-record time, challenging 1920s conventions that expected women to stay at home. The next time your kid says that some classmates of theirs shouldn’t be allowed on their team, tell them to talk to Trudy.
21．Which book is related to Brazilian culture?

Do you like fishing? Have you ever put a fish back into the water after catching it? What made you decide to do this？
One day, two fishermen were fishing in a pond (池塘). Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch. The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish within a few minutes. He was very happy. He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish. Surprisingly, he threw it back into the pond. Later，he caught many more big fish，only to throw them back into the water again and again.
The first fisherman was surprised and asked, “Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!” The second fisherman answered, “I know they were big, but I don’t have a big enough pan (平底锅) to cook big fish! So I’m looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan.” The first fisherman was surprised by the answer. He told the second fisherman that he could just cut the big fish into smaller pieces to fit them into the small pan.
Many of us are just like the second fisherman. We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose a chance.

24．Why did the second fisherman put the big fish back into the pond?
A．Because he didn't have a big enough pan.
B．Because he didn't have a big icebox.
C．Because he wanted to set the fish free.
D．Because the fish was not suitable to eat.
25．What was the first fisherman’s advice?
A．He advised the second fisherman to give up fishing.
B．He told the second fisherman to catch smaller fish.
C．He suggested the second fisherman should buy a larger pan.
D．He advised the second fisherman to cut the fish to fit the pan.
26．Which is TRUE according to the text?
A．The first fisherman didn't put the big fish in his icebox.
B．The second fisherman put smaller fish back into the pond.
C．The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish quickly.
D．The second fisherman would cook fish in the afternoon.
27．What can we learn from the story?
A．It's never too old to learn. B．Think twice before action.
C．Action speaks louder than words. D．Failure is the mother of success
C
Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
28．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
A．They are often forgotten by their owners. B．They are used to living outdoors.
C．They build their own shelters. D．They like to stay in warm places.
29．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?
A．To know when to bring them inside. B．To keep them from eating bad food.
C．To help them find shelters. D．To keep them company.
30．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may      .
A．be short of clean water B．dig deep holes for fun
C．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild
31．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice.
C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.
D
There’s no denying that learning a foreign language is difficult, and when it comes to speaking the language, it can be extremely tough. I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in multiple languages. It’s safe to say I felt out of my depth!
At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before. However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress. In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought. Here, I think I will share a few tips with you.
Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them. This sounds obvious, but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection and feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have "enough" words or grammatical knowledge. The truth is you will never feel ready, and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can.
This leads on to my next tip: don’t compare yourself to others. This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn at different speeds and through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident.
Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come! Instead of focusing on how far you have to go, focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements!
32．What does the underlined part suggest in the passage?
A．The author took great pride in his classmates.
B．The author wanted to leave university immediately.
C．The author failed to join in his classmates’ conversation.
D．The author was unable to speak many languages.
33．What is the common barrier for language learners?
A．They fail to have a good command of grammar.
B．They have a lack of courage to speak the language
C．They can’t use the language in right situations.
D．They can’t help comparing themselves to others.
34．What’s the best way to learn Spanish in the author’s opinion?
A．Find a partner whose Spanish is excellent.
B．Set long-term goals to improve enthusiasm.
C．Learn from an example and pick out weak points.
D．Choose a language exchange partner at the same level.
35．What does the author want to tell in the passage?
A．Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million.
B．Learning new languages is not so hard.
C．Confidence is the key to speaking a language.
D．Don’t ignore what you have achieved in learning.

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your invitation.
I’d love to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t. My grandpa is seriously ill in hospital and I have to look after him. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, who is the most suitable choice, to take my place next Sunday. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a broad knowledge of traditional Chinese painting, which, combined with her active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
