I grew up in a busy family, both parents working jobs that demanded their attention 24/7. I was little and rushed around, always at risk of moving too quickly, missing the bus and making mistakes. Luckily, my enthusiasm for the world took me from the troubles at home to climbing mountains. When I was 19, I learned something called the "rest step" from an old mountain climber. He advised me to rest in the middle of each step completely but briefly. The rest step, which I still practice today, allows me to move quickly yet still find a pause in every step. Even when needs seem most urgent, the practice of slowing down offers calm and clarity. In 1987, I was in Pakistan to climb Gasherbrum II. It was a very big mountain. Our expedition (探险队) faced more than its share of difficulty: A long storm wiped out most of our good and an avalanche (雪崩) destroyed our camp site. One of our party developed altitude sickness. In the face of each disaster, we carefully developed a new plan. Snow caves replaced lost tents. Soups replaced gull meals. Eventually we climbed slowly to the top, and then made our way sagely down. There is magic in any faith. Every once in a while, my belief in pace rises up, slows me down and shows me a view of a sunset, a smile from a stranger or a conversation with a child. I owe these moments to what I learned from an old mountain climber and have practiced ever since. 25．What was the author like when he was little? A．He didn't have a steady character. B．He didn't get along with his parents. C．He was unable to focus his attention. D．He wasn't fond of mountain climbing. 26．What did the author learn from the old climber? A．To keep practicing. B．To devote to what you love. C．To have a rest after climbing a mountain. D．To slow down the pace while climbing. 27．How did the author's expedition survive the disasters? A．By giving up the climbing. B．By changing their plan. C．By living in the tents. D．By saving their good. 28．What can be the best title of the text? A．Every Step Counts B．A Magic Experience C．An Old Mountain Climber D．The Practice of Slowing Down

Jeasica Weatervelt, a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York, created an activity called "House Hunters", which was inspired by the popular television show "House Hunters International', for her Spanish class about four years ago. Similar to the show, students work in groups, pretending to be real house agents, and look for three houses in Spanish－speaking countries. She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home, chores, travel and vacation. She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students' interests into the curriculum. At the time, a group of her students were big fans of the show. The students look for a house for Westervelt to buy to live in, or rent for vacation. She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget. Students work in groups of three, and each student is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish－speaking country that fits the requirements. The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find. Each group presents their findings to the class, while the other students take notes. The entire activity is done in Spanish, so students get to practice their writing, listening and conversation skills. They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish－speaking countries. Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project. Westervelt says, "I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school, it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them." 29．How did Weatervelt come up with the idea of the activity? A．She got it from a TV program. B．She was inspired by her students. C．She learned it from a house agent. D．She was taught that in high school. 30．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "incorporate" in Paragraph 2? A．change B．absorb C．force D．persuade 31．What are the students supposed to do with the houses they find? A．Rent the houses for their vacation. B．Live in the houses for a while. C．Write an introduction to the houses. D．Choose and buy one for their teacher. 32．What do Weatervelt's words in the last paragraph mean? A．Most school activities are not enjoyable. B．Students should be realistic about study. C．Out－of－school activities are very important. D．Learning should be combined with interest.

It's easy to blame technology for having damaged our social abilities, since most people feel more comfortable chatting online than meeting face－to－face. But this is actually a "chicken－and－egg" problem. It's possible that social networking is damaging our ability to socialize offline. As people rely more and more on typed words and emoji (表情符号), their emotional sensitivity is decreasing. "You can't learn nonverbal expression of feelings from a screen in the way you can learn it from face－to－face communication," Yalda Uhls, a researcher at the University of California said. "If you're not practicing face－to－face communication, you could be losing important social skills." A study in 2013 found that people unlocked their phones more than 100 times on average per day. Constantly checking your phone－a symptom of the phenomenon called FOMO (fear of missing out)－is also distracting people from face－to－face communication. But for people who already suffer from social anxiety, the Internet is a safe barrier for them to function normally. Behind that barrier, they feel more comfortable saying what they want without the risk of embarrassment. For them, it's much easier to look at a phone than to look at someone in the eye. Social media may even help with offline communication. In a study, US teenagers who are afraid to talk to the opposite sex were asked to approach a boy or a girl online first before talking to them in person. "Once they felt like they were doing okay online, then they could continue the conversation face－to－face in a more comfortable state," a researcher said. "The anxiety was lessened by using technology." 33．What's Yalda Uhls' opinion on online communication?
B．It helps people convey more meaning. C．It has both advantages and disadvantages. D．It can replace face－to－face communication. 34．Why is the Internet a safe barrier for some people? A．They find it easy to use a phone. B．They can say whatever they want. C．It can avoid much embarrassment. D．It can free them from social anxiety. 35．According to the last paragraph, how do teenagers benefit from social media? A．They make more friends online. B．They find it easy to talk to the opposite sex. C．They learn to chat with others online. D．They become less nervous in offline communication.
