My mom didn’t know whose mailbox it was, but knew she must tell the owner. She walked up to the door, her heart beating fast. She debated over and over whether she should ring that doorbell or just go to work and pretend that this had never happened.
Just then, an old lady opened the door, glancing at the tears down from my mom’s face and at the destroyed mailbox. she understood exactly what had happened.

When you are sitting in the car, do you ever notice the drivers looking over their shoulders or side to side in the car? Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots make driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents.
Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition.
Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots—on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well.
When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car!
The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar (柱子) —the material on either side on the windshield (挡风玻璃) that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar.
Alaina’s design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield.
She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the driver’s head. Then, she covered the inside of the pillar in a reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar “see through” and removed the blind spot on that side of the car.
Alaina’s solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well.
28.What can be learned about blind spots during driving?
A.They call for careful driving.
B.They make driving thrilling.
C.They are many in kinds.
D.They can’t be get rid of.
29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ingenious” in paragraph 2?
A.interesting B.creative C.inspiring D.invisible
30.How did Alaina solve the problem?
A.By improving the A-pillar.
B.By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar.
C.By using a camera to capture images.
D.By relying on LCD displays.
31.What’s the best title for the text?
A.An Introduction to Blind Spots
B.A Warning About the Road Safety
C.A Scientific Research on Blind Spots
D.A Teen’s Creative Solution to Blind Spots
D
An estimated 60 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese, so chances are that your pet needs to lose weight rather than pack on some pounds. It’s not always easy to tell if your pet could afford to lose a few, but there are some other signs that can tip you off. One important factor: the waist. “Most people don’t know what a normal cat should look like,” says Romine. “But cats should have waists, too.” The vet says you should be able to feel your pet’s ribs (肋骨) through its coat, and when you look down at them, they should have an hourglass (沙漏) shape—just like a person.
“For some overweight pets, you may want to switch to a new food entirely; foods with ‘light’ or ‘healthy weight’ labels usually have an increased fiber content to help the dog or cat feel fuller,” Romine notes. “Another option is to feed them less of the food they currently eat,” Freeman suggests. “Make sure you’re reducing table scraps (残羹剩饭) and high-calorie treats like pet biscuits,” she says.
It’s important to figure out what your pet’s ideal weight is as you’re helping them to lose. Romine advises working with your vet to get the right number, and if you’re following the portion guidelines often printed on food labels, feed them the amount of food associated with the weight you want them to be, rather than the weight they currently are.
Food isn’t the only factor that can impact your pet’s weight. Romine stresses the importance of exercise in keeping your pet healthy. For cats, just 10 minutes of indoor play each day can make a difference. For dogs, letting them out in the backyard to do their business is not enough. You’ll have to exercise with your dog to really get them moving.
32.What is the problem with the pet from the text?
A.It needs to lose weight.
B.It needs to have waists.
C.It needs to pack on pounds.
D.It needs to be more energetic.
33.Which food can help overweight pets?
A.The food with an decreased fiber.
B.The food from table scraps.
C.The food with “light” labels.
D.The food with a new label.
34.What is an important factor to keep pets healthy?
A.A partner. B.Protein. C.Pet biscuits. D.Exercise.
35.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook. B.A pet magazine.
C.A recipe book. D.A travel brochure.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some students find themselves constantly in trouble with attention at school. 36 If you have trouble paying attention, sitting still, and are getting constantly called out by your teacher, you can still learn to follow the rules and channel your energy into becoming a better student.
37 If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing your attitude can help a lot. Try to use your imagination to make the task cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is fun can actually make it fun.
Take notes. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if you’ll be provided with a review, or you don’t eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says. 38
Be prepared for class. You can’t stay focused if you don’t have all the necessary supplies ready, and you’re in your seat on time. There’s nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or having to ask for a pencil or a piece of paper that you forget to bring.
Get involved in the class discussions. 39 Raise your hand if you know the answer, and talk during discussions in class if they’re going on.
40 Just like changing your attitude about enjoying your classes, making an active choice can be an important first step in actually getting better grades.
A.Motivate yourself to improve your grades.
B.Use your imagination and decide to like the topics.
C.Taking notes can also help you improve your writing skills.
D.If you’re not active during class, try to change your habits.
E.There are so many factors to make you unfocused, and you aren’t alone!
F.This will help you stay focused and you’ll have something to refer to later.
G.Seeing the results of your hard work, you might become more confident in the class.
