Hayden, Congratulations on being 12! Wow, next year you will officially be a teenager. Happy Birthday son! Tm so excited for you. Last night at the dinner table I told you about how clearly I remember the day before you were born. I sat in front of that fireplace in our very first house in Rowlett, Texas, in 1996 and cried my eyes out before God. I cried because possibly, something could have been wrong with you, but even more than that, I believe I cried out to Him because of the gift he was giving me. You are incredibly (难以置信地) special Hayden Davis. You will make your mark (标记) on the world in amazing ways. I’ve always known that. I’m glad to be your father, and I’m glad I get to see for myself how God will use you. Over this year we will do many things together. The gifts you receive today will give hints (暗示) of our first big trip that will take place in January. Every quarter there will be a special, secret trip you and I will take up. Many times you won’t know what’s to come; I want you to trust me. Trust that I’m doing what’s right for you and planning events that will be memories for years to come. Every month I will sit down with you and talk to you about what it takes to be a Christ-follower and leader in this world and how to explore life in a way that honors the God who loves you so dearly. The men who are the closest to you will speak into your life during these months, teaching you the most valuable lessons they’ve learned in life. They are my closest friends and they will also become your friends and confidants (知己). I will always believe in you and I’ll always be right by your side cheering you on through each and every stage of your life. On this Thanksgiving Day, I couldn’t be more thankful to have you in my life. I love you! 【小题1】The child of the writer will become a teenager in ________.

School kids have always complained about having tons of homework. A study offers ways to reduce the load (负荷).children are carrying to avoid hurting young shoulders and backs. Children generally carry about 22 percent of their body weight in backpacks?for a teenager, that can reach more than 30 pounds of books, food, calculators, and other necessities of modern life. When that amount of pressure is placed on one or two narrow shoulder straps (带子), the weight can easily reduce blood flow to kids’ skin and muscles (肌肉). Even at 10 percent of body weight, the pressures were still high, and that hasn’t been measured before,’’ said Brandon Macias. According to the study, the pressures were measured when the packs were loaded with 10 percent of the students’ body weight, then 20 percent, and finally 30 percent. An unusual finding came to light?even when both straps were used, pressure on the students’ shoulders was uneven (不平均的). It seems like the right shoulder becomes loaded more, which over a period of years may cause back pain. The research team came up with the following advice based on its study. The backpack should be positioned (放置) high on the back, reducing the stress on the shoulders and back. And backpack straps should be positioned over both shoulders, lowering the amount of weight carried by one shoulder. Wider straps also reduce the pressure on the shoulders. And finally, the weight in backpacks should be reduced. 【小题1】The study mentioned above was carried out for the purpose of ________. A. helping kids grow taller B. improving students’ grades C. reducing kids’ chances of having back pain D. helping students with pressure in their studies 【小题2】Which of the following statements about the students’ backpacks is right? A. The bag with one shoulder strap is more suitable for students. B. The weight of the backpack should be 22% of their body weight. C. The two straps of a bag don’t share the same weight from a bag. D. Students usually carry a bag about 10 percent of their body weight 【小题3】The underlined phrase “came to light” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A. was changed B. was tested C. was impossible D. was known 【小题4】The following are suggested by the research team EXCEPT ________. A. using wider straps B. reducing the weight of the school bags C. positioning the school bags high on the back D. using more than one bag for kids, school things |

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal (金牌) power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (困难) and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase (公文包) and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you. ” Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before: Dear Robert, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the pictures you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew 【小题1】Why did Matthew want to see the writer? A. Because Matthew was interested in weightlifting. B. Because the writer was good at giving talks. C. Because he wanted to learn from the writer. D.
