At the beginning f Grade Tw, I jined the crss-cuntry running team in ur schl.
When I came t the first practice, I was filled with ptimism. But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased frm three t fur, t six miles, I realized with surprise that n matter hw hard I tried, I wasn’t able t run as fast as thers. In fact, I was ne f the slwest n the team.
What was the pint f putting myself thrugh s much pain? After the first few weeks, I wanted t quit.
Then we had ur first crss-cuntry meet.
When we started the race, I felt the great pressure f expectatins sink nt my shulders. And after a while I stpped running and struggled t walk up the hill. But then I heard my caches shuting my name frm the tp f the hill. I felt cnfused and embarrassed; why were they cheering fr me? I was running terribly! As I tried my best t finish the race, I realized that my caches didn’t care hw fast I ran. Neither did my teammates. During the rest f the seasn, they were always n the sidelines f every race, cheering fr me just as ludly as they’d cheered fr the frnt runner.
Frm then n, I began t put my effrt int supprting my teammates instead f fcusing n my wn perfrmance. In that way, I celebrated my teammates’ victries as if they were my wn; I felt their pain and exhaustin as if they were my wn.
Crss-cuntry running made me realize I dn’t need t be the best t be successful in life. It taught me t value my relatinships with peple mre than my relatinship with my eg. It taught me t cheer fr thers even if I dn’t knw their names.

Jhns Hpkins University researchers discvered precisely hw spiders (蜘蛛) build webs in the dark. Their creatin f a web-building playbk brings new understanding f hw creatures with small brains are able t create elegant and cmplex structures.
Web-building spiders, which build blindly using nly the sense f tuch, have attracted humans fr centuries. “The first step t understanding that is t study the behavirs and skills invlved,” said Andrew Grdus, a Jhns Hpkins behaviral bilgist, “But until nw it has never been dne, mainly because f the challenge f detecting and recrding the actins.”
His team studied a spider native t the western United States. T bserve the spiders during their nighttime web-building wrk, the lab designed a stage with infrared (红外线的) cameras and infrared lights. They mnitred and recrded six spiders every night and tracked millins f individual leg actins. “Even if yu vide recrd it, that's a lt f legs t track,”said lead authr Abel Crver. “It's just t much t g thrugh every frame (帧) and mark the leg pints by hand s we trained machine visin sftware t detect the actins f the spider, frame by frame, s that we culd recrd everything the legs d t build an entire web.”
They fund that web-making behavirs are s similar acrss spiders that the researchers were able t predict the part f a web a spider was wrking n just frm seeing the psitin f a leg. “Even if the final structure is a little different, the rules they use t build the web are the same,” Grdus said, “which cnfirms the rules are in their brains.”
Future wrk fr the lab includes experiments with drugs t determine which circuits (回路) in the spider's brain are respnsible fr the varius stages f web-building. Crver said, “This wrk culd help us understand larger brain systems, including humans.”
32．What was the challenge in the previus studies n spiders' web-building?
A．Testing spiders' brains. B．Tracking spiders' actins.
C．Observing spiders' webs at night. D．Imprving spiders' sense f tuch.
33．What is a crucial step in the study led by Grdus?
A．Relying n the aid f special sftware. B．Mnitring the safety f spiders.
C．Cmparing varieties f spider webs. D．Designing a set f infrared cameras.
34．What is cntained in the future study accrding t paragraph 5?
A．The envirnment fr humans. B．The behavir f varius spiders.
C．The drug fr brain diseases. D．The brain system f spiders.
35．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Spiders, Elegant Creatures B．Small Brains, Amazing Skills
C．Spiders' Web Secrets Uncvered D．Spiders' Web-building Ability Develped

Once, my uncle brught hme a cute little baby parrt. At first, I and my cusins were a little scared, because we didn’t knw hw t handle that little tender baby. My aunt eventually helped us ut. She tk it and kept it just as her baby. She fed it, she gave it ccasinal shwers and eventually we became quite cmfrtable with it. Nw there was anther dilemma (困境) that we had — as we were nt really aware f its gender (性别) we were unable t decide a name fr the parrt. S finally my mm called it Mitthu. We agreed.
As it was grwing, its wings started grwing lng, but my family was t pssessive (占有欲强的) and caring twards Mitthu that they trimmed (修剪) its wings. They said if it flew, it wuldn’t be able t survive utside.
As time went by, we grew, s did had by nw started talking quite a was amazed by the way my aunt cared fr it. She fed it anything and everything they had befre eating. Mitthu was never kept in a cage frm the is still nt kept in a eage... at first its wings were trimmed t prtect nw as it has grwn quite a lt, even its wings are nt trimmed...
I smetimes wnder, it has the whle sky t fly, it is neither in a cage nr its wings are trimmed, then why isn’t it flying at all? Maybe it is nw quite attached t us and desn’t want t leave us, r maybe it desn’t want t leave this cmfrtable life and g away and face the hard reality f life. The answer may be anything, depending n hw we view the situatin.
But as I grew lder, I realized that the life f Mitthu is nt really very different frm that f mine. I was cared t and thus was prtected frm really getting alng with utside wrld. I made my huse my wrld, just as it was taught t me. I guess s did Mitthu. The cmfrt f my hpe became, and I guess Mitthu’s as well, the invisible chain that never actually will let us fly.

67．One pssible versin:
I guess nt just I, but mst f the girls feel the same. We are afraid f flying. We are afraid we might hurt ur parents’ feelings. We are afraid we might end up hurting them if we take ur wn decisins. Hw similar ur lives are! I and Mitthu might be tw different beings but trapped in a similar situatin. The baggage f feelings, emtins and attachment will never really allw us t fly independently!
The parrt flew tday. It finally freed itself in true sense. Everyne at hme is sad. My cusins have stpped eating, and they are cntinuusly crying. Maybe they are nt ld enugh t understand the true meaning f freedm s they are unable t understand Mitthu and are sad at lsing it. But I am happy fr Mitthu. I wish t get the equal curage sn. Dear parents, it’s gd t lve and prtect yur child. But smetimes verprtectiveness might harm their future, and it might influence their decisins in future. S nw the parrt is really free!

At the beginning f Grade Tw, I jined the crss-cuntry running team in ur schl.
When I came t the first practice, I was filled with ptimism. But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased frm three t fur, t six miles, I realized with surprise that n matter hw hard I tried, I wasn’t able t run as fast as thers. In fact, I was ne f the slwest n the team.
What was the pint f putting myself thrugh s much pain? After the first few weeks, I wanted t quit.
Then we had ur first crss-cuntry meet.
When we started the race, I felt the great pressure f expectatins sink nt my shulders. And after a while I stpped running and struggled t walk up the hill. But then I heard my caches shuting my name frm the tp f the hill. I felt cnfused and embarrassed; why were they cheering fr me? I was running terribly! As I tried my best t finish the race, I realized that my caches didn’t care hw fast I ran. Neither did my teammates. During the rest f the seasn, they were always n the sidelines f every race, cheering fr me just as ludly as they’d cheered fr the frnt runner.
Frm then n, I began t put my effrt int supprting my teammates instead f fcusing n my wn perfrmance. In that way, I celebrated my teammates’ victries as if they were my wn; I felt their pain and exhaustin as if they were my wn.
Crss-cuntry running made me realize I dn’t need t be the best t be successful in life. It taught me t value my relatinships with peple mre than my relatinship with my eg. It taught me t cheer fr thers even if I dn’t knw their names.

Jhns Hpkins University researchers discvered precisely hw spiders (蜘蛛) build webs in the dark. Their creatin f a web-building playbk brings new understanding f hw creatures with small brains are able t create elegant and cmplex structures.
Web-building spiders, which build blindly using nly the sense f tuch, have attracted humans fr centuries. “The first step t understanding that is t study the behavirs and skills invlved,” said Andrew Grdus, a Jhns Hpkins behaviral bilgist, “But until nw it has never been dne, mainly because f the challenge f detecting and recrding the actins.”
His team studied a spider native t the western United States. T bserve the spiders during their nighttime web-building wrk, the lab designed a stage with infrared (红外线的) cameras and infrared lights. They mnitred and recrded six spiders every night and tracked millins f individual leg actins. “Even if yu vide recrd it, that's a lt f legs t track,”said lead authr Abel Crver. “It's just t much t g thrugh every frame (帧) and mark the leg pints by hand s we trained machine visin sftware t detect the actins f the spider, frame by frame, s that we culd recrd everything the legs d t build an entire web.”
They fund that web-making behavirs are s similar acrss spiders that the researchers were able t predict the part f a web a spider was wrking n just frm seeing the psitin f a leg. “Even if the final structure is a little different, the rules they use t build the web are the same,” Grdus said, “which cnfirms the rules are in their brains.”
Future wrk fr the lab includes experiments with drugs t determine which circuits (回路) in the spider's brain are respnsible fr the varius stages f web-building. Crver said, “This wrk culd help us understand larger brain systems, including humans.”
32．What was the challenge in the previus studies n spiders' web-building?
A．Testing spiders' brains. B．Tracking spiders' actins.
C．Observing spiders' webs at night. D．Imprving spiders' sense f tuch.
33．What is a crucial step in the study led by Grdus?
A．Relying n the aid f special sftware. B．Mnitring the safety f spiders.
C．Cmparing varieties f spider webs. D．Designing a set f infrared cameras.
34．What is cntained in the future study accrding t paragraph 5?
A．The envirnment fr humans. B．The behavir f varius spiders.
C．The drug fr brain diseases. D．The brain system f spiders.
35．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Spiders, Elegant Creatures B．Small Brains, Amazing Skills
C．Spiders' Web Secrets Uncvered D．Spiders' Web-building Ability Develped

Once, my uncle brught hme a cute little baby parrt. At first, I and my cusins were a little scared, because we didn’t knw hw t handle that little tender baby. My aunt eventually helped us ut. She tk it and kept it just as her baby. She fed it, she gave it ccasinal shwers and eventually we became quite cmfrtable with it. Nw there was anther dilemma (困境) that we had — as we were nt really aware f its gender (性别) we were unable t decide a name fr the parrt. S finally my mm called it Mitthu. We agreed.
As it was grwing, its wings started grwing lng, but my family was t pssessive (占有欲强的) and caring twards Mitthu that they trimmed (修剪) its wings. They said if it flew, it wuldn’t be able t survive utside.
As time went by, we grew, s did had by nw started talking quite a was amazed by the way my aunt cared fr it. She fed it anything and everything they had befre eating. Mitthu was never kept in a cage frm the is still nt kept in a eage... at first its wings were trimmed t prtect nw as it has grwn quite a lt, even its wings are nt trimmed...
I smetimes wnder, it has the whle sky t fly, it is neither in a cage nr its wings are trimmed, then why isn’t it flying at all? Maybe it is nw quite attached t us and desn’t want t leave us, r maybe it desn’t want t leave this cmfrtable life and g away and face the hard reality f life. The answer may be anything, depending n hw we view the situatin.
But as I grew lder, I realized that the life f Mitthu is nt really very different frm that f mine. I was cared t and thus was prtected frm really getting alng with utside wrld. I made my huse my wrld, just as it was taught t me. I guess s did Mitthu. The cmfrt f my hpe became, and I guess Mitthu’s as well, the invisible chain that never actually will let us fly.

67．One pssible versin:
I guess nt just I, but mst f the girls feel the same. We are afraid f flying. We are afraid we might hurt ur parents’ feelings. We are afraid we might end up hurting them if we take ur wn decisins. Hw similar ur lives are! I and Mitthu might be tw different beings but trapped in a similar situatin. The baggage f feelings, emtins and attachment will never really allw us t fly independently!
The parrt flew tday. It finally freed itself in true sense. Everyne at hme is sad. My cusins have stpped eating, and they are cntinuusly crying. Maybe they are nt ld enugh t understand the true meaning f freedm s they are unable t understand Mitthu and are sad at lsing it. But I am happy fr Mitthu. I wish t get the equal curage sn. Dear parents, it’s gd t lve and prtect yur child. But smetimes verprtectiveness might harm their future, and it might influence their decisins in future. S nw the parrt is really free!
