Callaghan, the father of a teenage daughter, Emma, couldn't understand why he had developed a disease which normally affects men twice his age. A routine CT scan showed a tumor growing on his kidney (肾)．

“I was by myself，” Callaghan recalls. “I thought it was a kidney stone. I was in the doctor's office for about 45 minutes that day and I don't remember anything more than one minute of it. The average life span for someone who has my condition is 12 months.” He will take pills every day, possibly for the rest of his life.

Callaghan began finding hope in a small act of love for Emma: handwriting notes of love on a napkin (餐巾纸) to place in her lunch box; nothing extraordinary or life­changing, just some words of encouragement for Emma to think of during the day. His numbered days meant numbered napkins. “The reason I started writing notes to her is that I wanted to matter in her life，” said Callaghan. “I see so many working parents today where they kind of give up a lot of their parenting. I wanted Emma to be able to look at me at whatever age she was and say ‘My dad loves me. I need his advice, I need his love and I trust that my dad's going to be there.’”

But what started out as a father's way of showing his daughter his love quickly grew. His idea to share his inspirational napkin messages with friends and family on the Internet sparked(触发) a book. His new book Napkin Notes shares each message he's ever sent to his daughter as well as more about his brave battle with cancer and life lessons he hopes Emma and maybe even grown readers can learn.

Now Callaghan is still fighting for his life. “The act inspires me just as much as I hope it inspires my daughter，” said Callaghan.

26. Which of the following does Callaghan disapprove of when he was diagnosed with cancer?

A. He was determined and got well prepared for the fatal disease.

B. He wondered why he could develop the cancer at so young an age.

C. He felt completely scared because he was alone at the doctor's office.

D. He forgot everything about the regular scan at the office, more or less.

27. According to the passage, Callaghan's new book Napkin Notes ________．

A. was lacking in what he did to struggle against cancer

B. was intended to set a good example to other patients

C. was supposed to earn some money for his daughter

D. was inspired from what he did to encourage Emma

28. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Napkin Notes of Love  B. A Moving Story

C. Life Against Cancer  D. An Inspiring Book

A group of brave tourists became the first visitors to cross a new 590­foot­high glass­bottomed suspension bridge in China. This special structure, the first of its kind in the world, is situated in the province of Hunan.Images have shown online showing the visitors gripped with fear and frozen in awe while standing on the see­through walkway. One female tourist is seen holding the handrail tightly and had to be dragged along by her friend.

The bridge had previously been a wooden one that linked two peaks of Stone Buddha Mountain in Shiniuzhai Geopark but is now a 984­foot­long glass walkway. Part of the bridge had already been replaced with glass in 2014, attracting groups of fearless tourists. However, 11 engineers have been working on the bridge over the last few months to replace all the wooden parts with glass, transforming the bridge into the world's first glass­bottomed suspension bridge.

According to reports, several visitors were so terrified that they could barely move. Some were seen holding on to each other as well as to the railings as they made the crossing. Many people were filled with fear as they tried not to look down to the steep drop below. The bridge was said to move from side to side slightly when people walked across it, making people feel even more frightened. However, as part of the scenic site, it also offered incredible views over the geopark and the landscape below. The amazing construction has already been named “hero bridge” because of the amount of courage required to cross it.

Those worried about the safety of the bridge can rest easy. The glass forming the footpath are said to be 25 times stronger than regular window glass. They're also created to stay in shape and withstand impact although special footwear has been issued to visitors.

29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. The history of the glass bridge.  B. The reason why the bridge was built.

C. The safety of the glass bridge.  D. The wooden bridge should be changed.

30. What made traveling through the bridge more fearful?

A. The wooden parts with glass.  B. The way people walk on it.

C. The shaking of the bridge.  D. The great landscape below.

31. Why is the bridge called “hero bridge”？

A. Because only courageous people can cross it. 

B. Because the bridge was built by brave people.

C. Because the bridge doesn't have the railings. 

D. Because people are full of courage when on it.

32. What measure did people take to make the bridge safe?

A. They used regular window glass.  B. They created strong glass in shape.

C. They gave glass special footwear.  D. They made construction special.

Are We More Narcissistic Than Ever Before?

Like the flower, narcissism(自恋)has continued to flourish in modern civilization, which has become such a part of culture. But narcissism in psychology is more than a single question can capture, which really has three types of narcissism. Problems arise when people discuss narcissism without identifying the form.

Grandiose(浮夸)narcissism is the outgoing, extroverted(外向)form. The narcissistic individual believes he or she is smarter, better looking and more important than others. And, of course, he or she gets special treatment for this fact. In fact, some of them can be very charming, likable and enjoy people. On the opposite side, narcissistic relationships are often not very emotionally warm or caring.

Vulnerable(脆弱)narcissism is the second flavour of narcissism. It is harder to see than grandiose narcissism. Vulnerable narcissists think they have the right to get special treatment and greatness but actually have low self­confidence and are not typically extroverted. Imagine someone living in his mum's small room. He spends his evenings watching X Factor believing he should be the next famous star singing act. Unfortunately, he hasn't the confidence to do it and instead becomes a net citizen, who posts offensive, controversial, or divisive materials on an Internet community.

The third form of narcissism occurs when narcissism is extreme and causes clinically serious problems in a person's life—marriages fall apart, friends are lost, a career is over. When this occurs narcissism can be identified as a personality disorder—narcissistic personality disorder (also known as NPD), containing a mix of both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism,

Can you change narcissism or NPD? There is no simple answer to this. For grandiose narcissism, what I often do is suggest practicing caring and compassion, doing what you are passionate about rather than what gets you attention and being responsible for your mistakes as well as successes. For vulnerable narcissism I would add to this list with practices that reduce depression and anxiety. Develop a sense of belonging or a friendship network; participate in physical exercise; or practice a form of emptying your mind of thoughts and feelings. For NPD, there is no single, scientifically affirmed treatment of choice. But pay attention to the following. First, people with NPD are often reluctant to enter treatment because in their mind they do not have a problem—everyone else does. Second, it is challenging for doctors to keep individuals with NPD in treatment.

Narcissism is increasing and while social media hasn't been proven to actually create narcissists, it does give them a new platform to gain attention and admiration. Still, I remain optimistic that people can change if they are motivated, have the right tools, and know what type of narcissism they are dealing with.

Title: Are We More Narcissistic Than Ever Before?

请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

He Really Loved His Job

Zhang Chao joined the PLA Navy in 2004 after graduating from a middle school in Yueyang, Hunan Province. He trained as a fighter jet pilot for five years and in 2009 he joined a naval aviation squadron(海军航空兵), because flying a J­15 above the carrier was Zhang Chao's biggest wish. In March last year, Zhang passed the strict selection procedures and became a pilot in the carrier­based(舰载的) aviation force. Unfortunately, however, when landing after a routine training on his J­15 on the afternoon of April 27, he gave his life because of a sudden malfunction(鼓掌) in the flight­control system.

As is known to all, it is full of risks to be a fighter jet pilot, especially to be a pilot in the carrier­based aviation force. But Zhang Chao was brave enough to face the challenge. He once said China must develop an aircraft carrier force to safeguard the nation and our interests overseas, and that he longed to serve on a carrier, no matter how risky that would be. As his wife put it, he really loved his job.
