Life experiences can show one's “grit”(坚韧). Complex challenges early in life helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.
Ursula Burns，Chairwoman，VEON；Former CEO， Xerox
Her family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care. But Burns'early gift for math won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox， where she would compete her way to the top."I'm a black lady from the Lower East Side，"she says."Not a lot scares me."
Howard Schultz， Executive Chairman，Starbucks
Schultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn, surrounded by poverty， and was the first in his family to go to college (on'a football scholarship).

Combs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion. But his story could have turned out much differently:his drug dealer father was killed when he was 3."It made me work even harder."he recently said.
Geisha Williams，CEO，PG&E
Her parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5. By 7， she was her parents'main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned in New Jersey.

My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish:I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book—Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem，I thought. So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach， my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines， they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week， and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation，"The book you read in the car."
Road trips still offer challenges， even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while，we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.
24. Why did the author start reading in the car?
A. She wanted to have a better journey.
B. She wanted to keep a family tradition.
C. Her children were addicted to reading.
D. Children were tired of the cassette.
25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?
A. They kept fighting. B. They hid themselves.
C. They soon settled down. D. They read together aloud.
26. What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach?
A. They were caught in a storm.
B. They enjoyed reading on the road.
C. They had a good time on the beach.
D. They thought it had passed too quickly.
27. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Better Traveling than Reading
B. Books that Changed My Children
C. Road Trips Full of Challenges
D. Reading Makes Great Road Trips
C
I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s hands.Without saying a word， as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn't want to share with anyone， they slipped into the alley， where no one could see them look inside.
“There's got to be a million dollars here!”Charlie blurted out， when they saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills. Amy， the more realistic of the two， did a quick estimate， thumbing through the wad of cash.“More like thousands”she said， her voice shaking in disbelief.
They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk， when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house.As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue， they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money—buy gifts for parents and friends， get new clothes， travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica， and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block，however，they didn't talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.
They finally reached Amy's house，but instead of going inside， they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2400—more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once.“I wonder who lost it.”Their moods shifted， sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment， there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do.Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way， they felt relieved.
28. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?
A. In an alley B. In a backpack
C. Among some flowers D. On the sidewalk
29. In paragraph 2，why was Amy's voice shaking?
A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others.
B. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollars.
C. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.
D. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money.
30. On their way to Amy's house， the children's mood changed from
A. Excited to suspicious B. Happy to angry
C. Relieved to worried D. Nervous to disappointed
31. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
A. To keep the money a secret from others.
B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner.
C. To put the wallet back where they found it.
D. To buy many different things with the money.
D
The arm bones of women who lived 7，000 years ago show a surprising level of strength —even higher than today’s professional athletes. That’s according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history—the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor， rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.
“Before the study， there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue， one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through，“said lead author Alison Macintosh.“Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”
Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones， the researchers said —and that's a problem，because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance，as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one，changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)—and these changes were much more evident in men.
However，a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing.“By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones， we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing，”Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal， but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women， the researchers found， had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers， and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.
32. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?
A. They were stronger than men.
B. They had lighter bones than men.
C. They did tough tasks as the men.
D. They spent most time staying at home.
33. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?
A. They lacked enough comparison.
B. They only studied men's bones.
C. They focused little on bones
D. They ignored the lifestyles
34. What does the underlined word "that"in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Bones'structure B. Bones'thickness
C. Bones response to stress D. Bones'stress from hard labor
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It's still hard to explain our ancestors'lifestyle.
B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.
C. Women's arms have become much stronger over time.
D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.

I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him. Mr.Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from him. He could perform miracles， like the one he performed with Steven， one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers， and most importantly， he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe's classroom，he ignored the other students， looking angry and annoyed， and slid into his chair， knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr.Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder，but Steven pulled away.Nevertheless， Mr. Rowe welcomed him，“Hi， Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year.”Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken.No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom. So， while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school， it seemed that Steven was angry and confused.
That day after class， Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess (中场休息).“Hey， Steven，”Mr. Rowe commented，“You are good at pitching things. Let me show you my secret trick.”Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform.Steven learned fast and did quite well!Everyone cheered for him.
After the kickball， Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in class as he could. When a question was asked， Steven lit up；he knew the answer!He raised his hands. When he answered the question，his voice shook. However， he got the right answer!He said，with Mr. Rowe， his days of fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly，but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.

When it comes to the qualities which determine success, some people assume that success requires fortune, willpower and so on. However, I insist patience is the most important.
As far as I can remember, I took up running to lose weight when I was young. But after a month, I started to get impatient. Thankfully, my father pushed me to be more patient. I accepted his advice, got back on track and carried it through. Gradually, I became fitter.
Looking back, I would have ended up nowhere if I had lost patience and given up halfway. It’s patience that makes a great difference in the end.

Paragraph 1:
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the buses pulled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr. Rowe. "I don't want to leave you." He sobbed with red-rimmed eyes. Mr Rowe comforted him, "I will miss you, too."
Paragraph2:
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr Rowe and I couldn't believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! "I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!" It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say a very simple word of THANKS.
