But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school s

2、ystem, chances are youve come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someones control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessmen

3、ts (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) arent always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student indi

4、vidually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldnt help but be reminded of Syonas teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-wor

5、th increase rapidly,” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers. Syonas teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesnt focus on what cant be doneshe focuses on what can be done. Over the past severa

6、l months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syonas confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldnt have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if

7、 we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .Weve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success. Ulmers rea

11、gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race. He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid. He loves to race, and often competes in 10K races. But thats not the reason he gets so much attention. People notice him because when he runs, “Barefoot Mike” runs barefoot.R

12、unning barefoot has become a huge trend in the world of running. “I didnt set out to be a trend setter,” laughed“Barefoot Mike”, otherwise known as Mike Whitaker. “Ive always been a runner, but until a few years ago, I always wore shoes. Then one day I was running after a rainstorm. I stepped off in

13、to the grass to avoid a puddle(水坑) on the sidewalk, and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass. I tried to keep running, but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard. I figured the best solution was to just get rid of the shoes.”Mike took off his shoes and

14、dropped them into the nearest trash can. “Then I started running. At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet, but there really werent any problems.” He started going faster. “It felt so good!” Mike said. “My knee, which always ached, di

15、dnt ache. My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance. And my feet didnt feel all hot and sweaty. It was awesome!”“There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot,” said Dr. Nancy Bower, a podiatrist(足科医师)A recent study agrees. A team of researchers recently videotaped se

16、veral people running first wearing shoes and then barefoot. In almost every case, when wearing shoes, the runners tended to land on the heel of their foot, which they call “heelstriking.” Many runners have impact injuries such as knee pain. Heelstriking may be the cause of these injuries or may make

17、 an existing injury worse.When running barefoot, the runners tended to land on the middle part of the foot. The force is spread out throughout the foot. The ankle, shin(胫部), knee and hip dont get the shock of a hard landing with every step.5. Why does Mike receive a lot of attention while running?A.

18、 Because he runs very fast.B. Because he loses his shoes.C. Because he wears no shoes.C. Because he wears strange clothes.6. According to Paragraph 2, why did Mike run barefoot years ago?A. He liked running barefoot.B. He was advised to run barefoot.C. His shoe became very uncomfortable.D. His dream

19、 of becoming famous motivated him.7. After running barefoot for a while a few years ago, Mike _.A. was very tired B. was badly hurtC. gave up running D. felt unexpectedly great8. According to the recent study, heelstriking _.A. is bad for ones healthB. is caused by existing injuriesC. happens when o

20、ne runs barefootD. can be avoided by wearing sports shoes.CIts always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you dont waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts o

21、f food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31%

22、 of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts. Luckily, theres an “ugly food” movemen

23、t picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised（擦伤的） fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoid

24、ed them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. Its fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky（歪斜的）” (which to American ears might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canadas Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity

25、chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts. With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSAs weve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious,

26、 or imperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!). 9. When the author was a kid, he .A. oft

27、en suffered from hungerB. was not allowed to waste food C. had to wash plates after a mealD. didnt like the taste of his food10. What does the underlined part “picking up steam” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Coming to an end.B. Facing a challenge.C. Making a selection.D. Becoming more popular.11. The Krets

28、chmann Farm CSA .A. provides perfect food for customersB. sells food mot of which is very ripeC. tries to bring ugly food to customersD. encourage the consumption of foodDMost times, what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen. The word hope is a guarantee（保证

29、）of happiness without a doubt. Hope in ancient Greek is “elpis” meaning “to expect or look forward with pleasure”. Orison Swett Marden says “there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorrow.”Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the worlds most influential personalities of

30、this century. When he was young, mining for Africans was hell on earth, because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully. Even in the face of all these challenges and discr

31、iminations, Jonah hoped to head the industry someday. When he told his workmates and parents about his hope, he became a laughing stock. Not giving up on his hope, he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti.Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you final

32、ly achieve your aims or goals. Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere (坚持) to succeed. Someone may say “Ive tried and failed several times”. As a matter of fact, failure is inevitable(无法避免的) sometimes but that doesnt overrule your ability to succeed. The key is that you cant give up your h

33、ope. Our history has seen many great achievers. Though they hoped they could make it, they also failed; however, they didnt give up on their hope. They worked even harder and eventually succeeded.Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage, remember “faith without work is dead”, so

34、 is your dream or hope. Samuel Similes says “Hope is the companion（伙伴） of power, the mother of success, for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles (奇迹).” So dont let your hope down.12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. How to remain hopeful. B. What hope really means.C. The impo

35、rtance of having hope. D. The relationship between hope and pleasure.13. The author uses the example of Samuel Esson Jonah mainly to _.A. prove that hope can lead to successB. prove a lowly man can also succeedC. show the times produce their heroesD. show its hard for a black to succeed14.

36、 to Paragraph 3, to succeed one should _.A. acquire great abilityB. avoid quitting easilyC. try to understand historyD. stop being overconfident15. Which would be the best title for the text?A.
