On her first birthday， the doctors informed Alex’s parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again.

People from all over the world，moved by her story，held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004，Alex passed away at the age of 8，knowing that，with the help of others，she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family—including brothers Patrick，Eddie，and Joey—and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (基金會）.

（62）C
If you want to improve your self-esteem，here are some steps：
•View mistakes as learning opportunities．Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does．Mistakes are part of learning．
•Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself．If you're used to focusing on your shortcomings，start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh（超過）them．（63）G
•Try new things．Experiment with different activities that will help you get in touch with your talents．Then take pride in new skills you develop．
•（64）EIf you realize that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can change，then start today．If it's something you can't change （like your height），then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are．
•Take pride in your opinions and ideas．Don't be afraid to voice them．
•（65）ATutor a classmate who's having trouble，help clear up your neighborhood，or volunteer your time in some other way．Feeling like you're making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve self-esteem．
•Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do．It takes some work to develop good self-esteem，but once you do it's a skill you'll have for life．

9．The stories we share with one another are important．They show wisdom and provide inspiration．They are important to our development．But sometimes people choose not to tell．
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news：People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola．
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told．Bobette Buster said it was like this，"The fact is，history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie （妖怪） left in a bottle．When they are finally uncorked，their power to destroy is set free．"
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story：they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages； they require courage and strength to share； and of course，there are some stories that should be kept secret-especially those that embarrass someone else．
Most of us have two selves：the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside．And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves，the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others．
Honesty and openness is important．It proves we are trustworthy．It displays we are human．We are not perfect or better．It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development．Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely．But with hard work，we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes．
Does this mean we admit every weakness，every disadvantage，and every secret regret to everybody we meet？No，of course not．There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner．

12．What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2？C
A．It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola．
B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story．
C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble．
D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time．
13．One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is thatC．
A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C．people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D．some stories make people feel sad
14．Which is close in meaning to the underlined word"uncorked"in Paragraph 3？A
A．freed       B．broken       C．unfolded      D．untouched
15．The writer aims to convince us toB．
A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D．realize the importance of being honest when making friends．

6．When I saw my 10-year-old avoiding the dirty plate in the sink or my 8-year-old feeling uncomfortable about the wet sand in her hands，I'm reminded of a time when I was unwilling to get my hands a little dirty．
    My parents owned a 500-acre farm in Montana to raise animals，such as cows，sheep，horses and so on．It was during the time of new life （a newborn lamb or a calf） that my favorite childhood memory took place．One exceptionally cold day，I was checking on the sheep with my mother when she spied a ewe （母羊） in trouble．The poor thing was trying to deliver her baby lamb and needed our help．My mother calmly held the ewe's head and instructed me to grab hold of the two protruding（突出）legs．
    I hesitated，and must have had quite a look of panic on my young face．The slimy little things were definitely not something I wanted to touch．But I worked up my courage and wrapped my fingers around them．I can still recall the feel of unexpectedly weak legs and their sharp little hooves as if it happened yesterday．
    My heart pounded in fear and excitement as I pulled with all my strength．The lamb was delivered safely，and I'd never seen anything so beautiful．
    I was no stranger to seeing farm animals being born，but to have a hand in it was something I treasured then and will treasure forever．I remember feeling excited with delight to see"my lamb"being licked clean by her mother，and I'm sure everyone got very tired of hearing me tell and retell my heroic story．Looking back，I'm so glad that I didn't refuse to get my hands dirty．If I had，the wonderful moment and the precious memory would have been lost．

24．What impressed the writer most during her childhood？C
A．Her dirty little hands．
B．Her parents'large farm．

D．Raising animals on the farm．
25．How did the author feel when she was asked to help a ewe deliver her baby？B
A．Some sympathy．
B．Rather frightened．
C．Quite astonished．
D．Highly delighted．
26．What point does the author try to make in the last paragraph？D
A．It is not unusual to see a new life coming into the world．
B．It is not easy to make up and tell a heroic story in daily life．
C．Memories formed during childhood are worth valuing all life long．
D．You need to get your hands dirty to experience something precious．
27．What could be the best title for the passage？A
A．A Valuable Life Lesson

7．Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10，000 years ago．（36）F
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．（37）ASo they are called"diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases．
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed v ery little alcohol or tobacco，probably none．（38）EHowever，a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today．
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat，which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products，and they made very little use of grains．（39）DWe eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C．
（40）BBut scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did，cutting the amount of fatty，salty and sweet food．

A．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．
B．People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did．
C．Ancient people also lived in large groups．
D．But today，we eat a lot of these．
E．Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise．
F．In that case，they would live much healthier．
G．People today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago．
