To me, he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe, with blon
20、d hair and blue eyes. To others, he is different. Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention, others see a mentally disabled boy, a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself. I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others see an annoyance, I a bother.This is
21、not to say that I have never felt resentful(怨恨的) toward Joe. He is my brother, and with that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother?” “Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper(尿布) later, please?” “Could you come home right after school toda
22、y and get Joe off the bus?”These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: thats not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from that teacher. Or, all my friends are
23、going out tonight, why cant I? And, how come I have to feed him? He is not my son!However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him. Besides making me responsible from a young age, and helping me be more accepting of all
24、kinds of people, he has taught me to be thankful for what I have.I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience. He will never laugh so hard that he cries. He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card. He will never comfort a best friend
25、 crying on his shoulder. And he will never know how much his family love him. Because he will never know, it is up to me to know, every second, how lucky I am. It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest, and that you should always, always be grateful that God, or whoever are
26、the powers that be, gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it.25. We know from the first paragraph that Ginas brother _.A. causes trouble to neighbours B. pays more attention to othersC. lives with mental disability D. considers daily routine a bother26. If Mother asks

The passage intends to tell us that we should _.A. value the glory of success B. appreciate what life gives usC. comfort unfortunate people D. treasure meaningful mo
28、ments CIts rare that you see the words “shyness“ and “leader“ in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent net-workers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent
29、of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shytheyre just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few “innies“.U
30、nlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. Theyre not thinking ab
31、out what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can al
32、so bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of thei
33、r power of presence：they “own“ the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers arent modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they
34、 are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, theyre more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on
35、finding solutions that arent primarily apparent. Dont believe me? Maybe youll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, “Its not that Im so smart, its that I stay with problems longer.“ Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myt
36、h that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.28. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy pe
37、ople care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening29. The example of Johnny shows _.A. shy people are likely to be modestB. hardworking students speak little in publicC. some students keep silent on purpose at school
38、D. shy people may have an advantage in discussion30. We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that _.A. success results from devotion B. shyness contributes to popularityC. outside reward leads to insistence D. uncertainty counts more than certainty31. The author supports his ideas m
39、ainly by _.A. giving definitions and presenting research resultsB. explaining problems and providing solutionsC. quoting authorities and making evaluationsD. making contrasts and giving examples DRunners who encounter visual and auditory(听觉的) distractions may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, a
40、ccording to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, res
41、earchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury.Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted a research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect
42、, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners apply force to their bodies, and the force the ground applies to the runners bodies when they come in contact with it.The r
43、unners were all injury free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Hermans team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen d
44、isplaying different letters in different colors with the runners having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to note when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice.W
45、hen compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with
46、 auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all.“Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr.
47、 Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to minimize potentially cumulative(累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a noisy environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attentionlik
48、e a new song playlist.”Dr. Hermans team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues(暗示). 32. Paragraph 2 tells us the research _.A. process
49、B. results C. questions D. reflection33. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to _. A. breathe heavier and have lower heart ratesB. get an increased amount of ground reaction forceC. apply more force with less oxygen consumptionD. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates34. What can we infer from the passage?A. Running with distrac
