11、e had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taug
12、ht me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket- cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then
13、I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was dreading(害怕) this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him
14、to be. “Your playing days are limited. You cant afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dreamed of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three twenty-five an h
15、our,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league bal
16、l, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.21.

19、successful businessmanD. made some money in the summer jobBThe holiday season is known as a festive and joyful time. But for some, its the most painful time of year. For children who have lost a close family member, the holidays can be particularly difficult.Unknown to many, grieving(伤心的) children a
20、re all around us. An estimated one in 20 American children will lose a parent before age 16, and the vast majority of children will experience a significant loss of some kind by the time they complete high school.The death of a loved one often has a strong influence on a child- one that is felt over
21、 the course of a lifetime. In a 2010 survey conducted by the New York Life Foundation and Comfort Zone Camp, more than half (57%) of adults who had lost a parent growing up said that they would trade an entire year of their life for one more day with that parent.The death of a loved one causes compl
22、ex and difficult emotions in children, including sadness, anger, loneliness, confusion and guilt. Such emotions can lead to depression, poor school performance and increased involvement in risky behavior.Grieving children desperately need support from trusted adults to help them deal with death. But
23、 unfortunately, too many grieving children suffer all by themselves. Most adults who work with children- including educators, school professionals and many in the social service profession- have little or no training in how to help kids process their grief.Even as we continue to broaden our bereavem
24、ent(丧亲 ) support, progress in the field cant come fast enough. The reality remains that many grieving children across the country are not seen or heard as they are in the face of damaging losses. We have an opportunity and a duty to make sure that grieving families receive adequate help and care.In
25、order to truly give grieving kids the attention and support they deserve, we all must acknowledge that, too often, grief is still an issue that hides in plain sight, and do our part to bring it further out into the open.25.

28、 give bereavement support.28. What is the best title for the text?A. Dealing With the Death of a Loved OneB. Opening up to Grieving ChildrenC. Supporting Grieving ChildrenD. Dealing With GriefCIn the country where I was born, eleven official languages are spoken. Im not kidding! I can speak two flue
29、ntly. One of these languages, Zulu, has a splendid greeting, “Sawubona”, which means “I see you” literally.Isnt this just an impressive way of recognition? Not just the stereotyped (模式化的) forms of greetings like “How are you?” “Hey” or “Good day”, but actually a powerful acknowledgement hidden in on
30、e word. And the Zulu response in this regard is “Ngikhona”, with the literal meaning of “I am here.” In this grateful response lies the awareness of “Until you saw me, I didnt exist. By recognizing me, you brought me into existence.”It made me think. When my daughter passed away six years ago, I cou
31、ldnt stand it when people asked me afterwards how I was. I wanted to yell at them, “How can you ask a mother something like that? Cant you see its almost impossible to answer that question?” I really couldnt understand why they were so cruel to me.But now I realize people mean well by asking such qu
32、estions. I also think we should put more thought into our general greetings- by waiting for a proper answer and by being really interested in what the other person has to say. As a beautiful quote from Philip Toshio Sudo goes, “Speak directly from your heart to the heart of your listener, as if pass
33、ing the flame of a candle.”Sawubona, my dear friends.29. Why does the author appreciate the greeting “Sawubona”?A. It makes the speaker recognize his own existence.B.

35、erve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday
36、, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so pow
37、erful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激 ) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“Its truly ground-breaki
38、ng,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made speci
39、al noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Lets go and t
40、ickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous,” said Daniel OConnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are
41、stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”32.
