Earlier this month, 6-year-old Isaac went on vacation to Fort Walton, Florida, with his family. While they were there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏). At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, ‘Is this OK?’ ” Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of eating at a restaurant. “That look on his face was like, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done,’” Garrett added. Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It’s not fun and it feels unfair,” she said. Their night at LuLu marked a celebration for Isaac. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurant’s Facebook page. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving Isaac this wonderful experience,” she wrote in her post. Barnett, the restaurant’s manager, said, “When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I assist with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring it’s cooked in a separate station and delivering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the past ten years since our allergy program was started.” On Garrett’s Facebook post, LuLu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. “Thank you for sharing your experience with us,” the restaurant wrote in a comment, “We are excited to see your son so happy!” Garrett is hoping her post’s popularity will convince other restaurants to be more considerate. “LuLu takes it seriously as we take it — nothing could make us happier than that,” she said. 【1】How does Isaac feel when he first ate at LuLu? A. Satisfied. B. Curious. C. Amused. D. Nervous. 【2】What does Garrett usually do when her family go out to eat? A. She leaves Isaac alone at home. B. She prepares some food for Isaac. C. She orders some special food for Isaac. D. She lets Isaac choose his favorite dishes. 【3】What will Barnett do when guests with allergies come to dinner? A. He will deliver the menu to them. B. He will personally assist with the order. C. He will introduce the allergy program. D. He will cook dinner in a separate station. 【4】What touched Garnett deeply? A. LuLu’s response to her post. B. Her son’s experience at LuLu. C. LuLu’s concern for guests with allergies. D. More restaurants’ following LuLu’s steps. |

As an oceanographer（海洋学家）， I’ve spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program that’s designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation(感受） of really being at the site with us. I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environment. I like to call this rooms “home domes” -- small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert. or a forest. Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent (租)a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robot’s movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot’s environment and simulate them for you. Today, much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth’s sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You can’t take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey’s gorillas（大程猩）． But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people. 【1】The main purpose of the JASON Project is to . A. design robots B. educate children C. explore the world D. improve technology 【2】Without going outside, people in “home domes”can . A. enjoy a guided trip B. get very close to nature C. develop and operate robots D. send images back to scientists 【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of robot technology? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied. 【4】According to the text, simulated travel . A. has been widely accepted B. costs lots of time and money C. is harmful to the environment D. is time-and money-saving |

There is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so. A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects. The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped. The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study. The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry’s website. Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children. 【1】Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning? A. To show the power of words. B. To introduce an opposite view. C. To prove the author’s argument. D. To show ancient people’s wisdom. 【2】What did the subjects have in common? A. They were hurt by unkind words. B. They performed poorly in imaging tests. C. They had their brain slightly damaged. D. They experienced no physical abuse at home. 【3】What will be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Comments on the findings. B. Approaches to further studies. C. Suggestions to parents. D. Different opinions on the matter. 【4】What is the main idea of the passage? A. The way we speak matters. B. Verbal violence should be stopped. C. Unkind words hurt the brain. D. Words are worse than sticks and stones. |

Mike Cohn was a typically active 8-year-old running across a park when he suddenly lost his balance and fell flat on his face. Countless doctors’ examinations later, he discovered that he was a victim of a rare neurological (神经上的) disorder that would quickly damage his eyesight and speech as well as his ability to move. He asked his mother if she could change things to make him like everyone else. “She said no,” he said. “【1】” 【2】 Instead of worrying about what he couldn’t do, he started focusing on what he could do — especially those things that other people thought he shouldn’t be able to do. He got a master’s degree in education from the University of Minnesota and founded Promote Awareness, an organization that gives special attention to the abilities of people with disabilities. “He overcomes obstacles (障碍) very fast,” said his sister, Leslie Zent. 【3】 So he decided to start taking classes at Zenon Dance School. Now he has set up his own dance company, I Can Dance, You Can Dance.

Dance enables him to create beauty. “My body moves like lots of dancers' bodies.” A. It is emotional as well as physical. B. I got lots of support from my mother. C. So he changed his thoughts and attitude. D. Sometimes he can’t move around without a walker. E. Four years ago, Cohn began to show an interest in dance. F.
