Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own.
Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew,” a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.
“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.
That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that's exactly what I did,” said Reid.
Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.
28. Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?
A. He was laughed at by other students.
B. He was interested in study in his youth.
C. He enlarged the views of young people.
D. He got his graduate degree in 2011.

30. What does Paragraph 6 mainly discuss?
A. How Mr. Reid realizes his dream. B. What teachers think of Mr. Reid.
C. When Mr. Reid entered college. D. Why the students likes Mr. Reid.
31. What lesson can we learn from the story of Jerry Reid?

I am traveling home. It is bitterly cold and snowy, but the warm train is right on time. I feel pleasantly satisfied as I look out at the rush hour traffic on the motorway. I feel more satisfied as the smell of fresh coffee announces the arrival of the drinks service. Swiss friends often tell me, proudly, that their rail service is the best in the world, but recently, one experience has proved that the great Swiss love affair with their railway has turned a little sour.
It all began with the decision to end ticket sales on trains. One cold morning I arrived at my local station only to find that the ticket machine was broken. No matter, I thought, I have got a smart phone, and I hurriedly set about buying my ticket that way. This was not as easy as I had expected, busying myself between credit card and phone with freezing cold fingers, but, by the time I got on the train to Geneva I had an e-ticket and I proudly showed it to the conductor. Unfortunately she told me that my ticket was not valid. Several weeks later a letter arrived from Swiss railways together with a fine
190 francs($210).
The good people there tell me the formal payment for my ticket from my credit card company arrived four minutes after my train left the station. That means, they say, that I bought my ticket on the train--and that is strictly prohibited
Swiss railways say their policy is designed to protect honest ticket-paying passengers, but a quick look at their balance sheet suggests something else. The company is making about $2 million a month from fines.
Although train travel is still popular, those seats do not feel as comfortable; the coffee does not smell quite so good--because Swiss railways have lost, for now anyway, something far more precious than $2 million a month: good relations with their customers.
1. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. The Swiss trains usually come late.
B. Traffic on the motorway goes smoothly.
C. The author hates traveling on the Swiss train.

D. It was paid on a smart phone.
3. What does the author want to show by telling the experience?
A. The fine was unfair.
B. The conductor was impolite
C. E-tickets are getting popular.
D. Credit cards can be inconvenient.
4. What does the author think of the new policy of Swiss railways?
A. It attracts more people to travel by train.

C. It damages company-customer relations.
D. It protects honest ticket-paying passengers
Last Friday a storm 61 (sweep) through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so 62 (bad) damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had 63 (break) windows or roofs. One person was seriously hurt and taken to hospital, and some other people received 64 (small) hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless 65 the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children 66 we heard a loud noise.” he said, “A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best 67 (climb) out but then I saw one of my sons was 68 (miss). I went back inside and found 69 , safe but very frightened.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just finished his breakfast and left 70 work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid--we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard（蜥蜴）native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate "hitting."
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water（and it does take a lot）. you can create a "non-Newtonian" liquid that doesn't be have like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles（微粒）in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward!
32. Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans .
A. have biological limitations B. are not interested in it
C. have not invented proper tools D. are afraid to make an attempt
33. What do we know about Basiilins basilicus from the passage?
A. It is light enough to walk on water.
B. It can run across water at a certain speed.
C. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.
D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in watch
34. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A. To enable the water to move rapidly. B. To turn the water into solid.
C. To help the liquid behave normally. D. To create a thick liquid.
35. What is the author's attitude toward the idea of humans' walking on water?
A. It is risky but beneficial.
B. It is interesting and worth trying.
C. It is impractical though theoretically possible.
D. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

Think about the last time you felt afraid．Was it a fear of height?Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office?In any case，you know what it feels like to feel fear．
But one woman doesn’t．The woman，code-named“UM”，gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers．The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid．
UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it．“I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something，”she said．The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease，which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice，small bumps around the eyes，and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain．
In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear．In the interview，UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint，“I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park bench．He said．‘Come here，please，’so I went over to him．He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me．I told him，‘Go ahead and cut me，’I wasn’t afraid at a11．And for some reason，he let me go．”
Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her．They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels．Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals．Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright．
28．The text starts by_______．
A．challenging the reader B．solving daily problems
C．1isting situations D．giving explanations
29．Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?
A．To tell her case from other patients．
B．To respect her privacy．
C．To meet the researchers’demands．
D．To ensure her safety．
30．From UM’s case，we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.
A．stop the brain from functioning normally
B．1ead to a decrease in calcium deposits
C．stop the brain from responding quickly
D．1ead to an increase in carbon dioxide
31．What will probably happen to UM?
A．Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease．
B．Getting the sense of panic．
C．Experiencing another danger．
D．Speaking with a hoarse voice．
You have ______ your family _______ a lot recently.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, 41 becomes unhappy. This 42 from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy 43 their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the 44 things. They are, 45 , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pressure of society, offend(冒犯) many people, and 46 themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up 47 by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown 48 its possessors（拥有者）. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it 49 its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and 50 them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious 51 in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most 52 politeness and respect. This 53 puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting 54 advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step 55 speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will 56 or excuse them, and many 57 join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, 58 worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, 59 will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, 60 when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before．
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． 16 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread． 17
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so． 18 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．
19 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it．If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything．Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else． 20 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status．Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions．
A．It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online．
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face．
C. Everyone was new to the network once．
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear．
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages．
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely．
Several years ago, my son and I had a brief conversation that has really stuck with me.
My Son: “ Were you there for the first of my game, Dad? I started!”

My Son: “Oh.”
Me: “ But you really need to start better.”

So what did I take away from this___ _? First, I learned that accomplishments should be strong and___ _. Saying “great job” or “good work” is a good ___ _when complimenting.

If you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it’s not just overcrowded subway trains.
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”
Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.
The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette(礼仪) seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.
Many cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people. (Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying: “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there’s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.”
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don’t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.
12. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to_____.
A. the author’s living in the big city of Hong Kong.
B. being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours.
C. people’s blocking the way or chat on the escalators.
D. people’s standing on the right side resting.
13. When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong_____.
A. stand still as the railway stations require.
B. ignore the “ stand right, walk left” signs
C. use the stairs instead of escalators.
D. follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
14. What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?
A. Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
B. The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
C. People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.
D. People shouldn’t complain about the crowded escalators.
15. Which of the following statements is the writer’s opinion?
A. People should stand right no matter where they are.
B. People should do as the Romans do and consider others.
C. People should do as they like on the escalators.
D. People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.
Years ago a professor gave a group of graduate students this assignment：Go to the slums(贫民窟)．Take 200 boys between the ages of 12 and 16 , investigate their 41 and environment and then 42 their chances for the future. The students，after 43 social statistics，talking to the boys and compiling(汇编)much data , 44 that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in 45 .
Twentyfive years later another group of graduate students were given the job of 46 the previous prediction. They went back to the 47 area. Some of the boys—now 48 —were still there，a few had died and some has moved away. But they managed to 49 180 of the original 200.They found that only four of the boys had ever been sent to prison.
Why was it that these men，who had lived in a breeding place of 50 ，had such surprisingly 51 record？The researchers were 52 told. “Well，there was a 53 .”
They investigated 54 and found that in 78 percent of the 55 it was the same woman. The researchers went to the teacher，now living in a home for 56 teacher .How had she had this remarkable 57 on that group of children？Could she give them any reason why these boys 58 her？“No，”she said，“I really couldn't.” And then， 59 over the years，she said musingly(沉思地)，more to herself than to her questioners，“I 60 these boys.” The researchers finally realized that it was the teacher's care that made a difference.
