To personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client(客户). He’s his “little brother”. Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one’s watching. The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome(唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years. As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brother trained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. “I know how it feels,” Callari said. “Society tells you that you can’t do this, you can’t do that.” When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can’t”. The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it’s Callari’s job to keep him focused. “If Parker can do it, if he’s having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, “Why can’t I do that?” Callari said. “That’s the whole task right now.” Callari recalls Parker’s mom once thanking him for taking a “chance” on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he’s also the one who’s learning. 【1】Why was Callari asked to train Parker? A. They shared the same interests. B. Parker's parents had faith in Callari. C. Callari took place of his absent colleague. D. Callari was an expert in Down syndrome. 【2】What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school? A. He was good at sports. B. He was out of condition. C. He was looked down upon by everyone. D. He was influenced deeply by his brother. 【3】What attitude does Callari have to Parker? A. Grateful. B. Sympathetic. C. Cautious. D. Critical. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A. An inspiring story of a disabled boy. B. high schooler suffering lots of failure. C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainer. D. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndrome. |

Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms - maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together. There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast. And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up. However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.” The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.” 【1】Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast? A.They have a busy lifestyle. B.They have no interest in cooking. C.They don’t think it worthwhile. D.They are living in the modern society. 【2】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A.A recent article. B.A traditional kitchen. C.The fine old tradition. D.The Sunday morning activity. 【3】How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Uncertain. D.Sorry. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.Sunday-Best Time for Family B.Sunday Roast Dying Out C.It’s the Perfect Time for Us D.Let’s Sit Down Together |

Your alarm goes off on your phone, and instead of turning it off and going on sleeping, you pick it up and stupidly say, “Hello?” You are, to use the technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness (迷糊), those first few confused minutes people sometimes experience after waking, according to a just-published paper in Neurology (神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon has been studied in a general adult population. In telephone interviews the researchers conducted with more than 19,000 healthy individuals, about 25 percent reported experiencing some sort of sleep-drunk episode (插曲) in the last year, and 12 percent said this happens to them at least once a week. Most of their stories were actually pretty funny, said Stanford University School of Medicine psychiatrist (精神病学家) Maurice Ohayon. One man picked up his alarm clock and mistook it for his phone, holding a two-minute conversation on it. Another participant woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t find the bathroom in her own home. Other common examples are that foggy feeling you get when you first wake up with a start on a Saturday before realizing it’s the weekend, or when you wake up in a hotel room and can’t immediately figure out where you are. Ohayon explains that a sudden awakening, to our poor, half-asleep brains, signals an emergency - a time for action, not reason. “For most people, and especially if this only happens to you every once in a while, it’s nothing to worry about. But for people who experience sleep drunkenness once a week or more, you might as well refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.” 【1】The intended readers of the passage are probably ___________. A.adults who don’t sleep well B.teenagers who don’t have enough sleep C.people who suffer sleep drunkenness D.researchers who are fond of sleep disorder 【2】We can know from the first three paragraphs that ___________. A.it’s stupid to leave the alarm on when sleeping B.after waking all people struggled for awareness C.there are many studies on adults’ sleep patterns D.it’s common for adults to suffer sleep drunkenness 【3】What do we know about sleep drunkenness from the fourth paragraph? A.It leads to different reactions. B.It comes without any reason. C.It hits when people are working. D.It attacks those who are depressed. 【4】What will be talked about after the last paragraph? A.Something to expand your sleep time. B.Ways to improve your sleep pattern. C.Methods of curing sleep drunkenness. D.Tips on how to help you to sleep better. |
