Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.

Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.

Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.

“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”

Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history.

Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.

24. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special?

A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. 

B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.

C. Because it looked quite different from others.  

D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates

25. What can we know about Pat’s family?

A. They are anxious to be celebrities.     

B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.

C. They never stop creating opportunities.    

D. They support and encourage each other.

26. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Repeat.  B. Represent.   C. Identify.    D. Follow.

27. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story?

A. Love me, love my dog.     B. Passion gives life power.

C. A good beginning is half done.    D. It’s never too late to learn.

C

There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners made for us.

Parkour (跑酷) practitioners, however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is attracting more and more people to it — there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调) and balance. So, the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the 2024 Olympics.

However, parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website Next Sport Star. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”

Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.

It’s great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

28. How do the parkour practitioners travel within the city?

A. By following fixed routes.   B. By cycling.

C. By using their own ways.   D. By taking a bus.

29. What does FIG think of parkour?

A. It is a dangerous sport.   B. It should be an Olympic sport.

C. It is becoming a normal sport.  D. It can become a healthy sport.

30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. Parkour is a lifestyle in the practitioners’ eyes.

B. Parkour is a daily routine for the reporter.

C. Parkour is already an Olympic sport.

D. Parkour should follow the designed ways.

31. What is the writer’s attitude toward parkour?

A. Negative        B. Unconcerned.         C. Worried.        D. Objective.

D

We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?

In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.

These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.

It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.

A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”

Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.

32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.

A. they are not content with their daily life.   

B. they regard social networks important.

C. they are curious to explore new technologies.  

D. they want to view their children’s online activities.

33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?

A. They can’t choose friends around them.   B. They have nothing to hide.

C. They don’t want to teach their parents.    D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.

34. A recent survey suggested that ________.

A. teens value their privacy and independence. 

B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide.

C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special.  

D. independence is everything teens desire.

35. What is most likely to be talked about next?

A. How to bridge the generation gap.    B. How to make friends on social networks.

C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.  D. How to use the social networking sites.
