His doctor, concerned about his health, had suggested Maceo try yoga(瑜伽), but he could barely walk, needing to use a cane to get around. He entered what he thought was the right store, only to find black belts. He walked into a studio of a Rocky Mountain Karate (空手道)Association. Hale Hilsabeck, owner and director of the studio, greeted him. Maceo told Hale that he had always wanted to learn karate, but was discouraged because of his weight. Hale asked him to come back the next day to begin learning karate for free. Maceo began training two to three times a week. Hale was amazed. “I was surprised because he kept on showing up,”he said, “I thought he might disappear after the first three times. But, no” Now, over five years later, Maceo weighs 60 pounds less and no longer walks with a cane. He can dance and deliver powerful boxes. I called Maceo to find out more. He told me that this all happened for a reason. Most of all, his faith was renewed, both in himself and in a higher power. “This was something that was meant to be,” Maceo said” I was down on myself. Now I feel more confident of the things I do. I have started to speak my mind more.Maceos story has inspired me. Next time I end up in the “wrong place”, maybe Ill stay there a minute longer to see if that unexpected chance shows up.25. Why did Maceo want to buy a cane?A. To use it to do some exercise. B.

But Paula was soon able to change the atmosphere of the entire graduation. Paulas grandfather, nearly ninety years old, was sitting to her left without a hat. Worried about his bare head being completely exposed to the sun, she came up with an idea. This girl was anything but ordinary. She seized her graduation program and folded it into a hat for her grandfather. Naturally this ninety-year-old man looked absurd(荒谬的), wearing a paper hat at a college graduation, but Paula felt reassured, knowing he was safe from the sun. A man nearby thought the idea was brilliant, and he attempted to make his own. He eventually needed Paulas help. Which led others to request hats from this lively girl as well.While it started with a single hat for her grandfather, Paula unintentionally created a trend stretching (延伸) across the entire amphitheater (圆形露天剧场). I tried to understand how so many people would wear paper hats at a formal event. Most of the people laughed at how ridiculous they looked, but my thoughts were focused on Paula.What Paula indirectly taught me was how one person can make a difference. She was only trying to protect her grandfather from the sun, but she influenced 2,000 other people and created a funny community between all of us participants.She is what I hope to become. I hope I will be able to help others and make a difference by simply taking a risk, just as Paula did.29. What was Paulas grandfather doing? A. Attending Paulas college graduation. B. Watching a game in an amphitheater C. Enjoying Paulas award ceremony. D. Making a paper hat with Paula.30. What happened after Paula made a paper hat? A. She was awarded for her brilliant idea. B. Her consideration impressed her grandpa. C. The hats were laughed at by all the students. D. Many people present followed her example.31. What did the author learn from Paula? A. Be really brave to take risks. B. Never judge by appearance. C. One can have influence on others. D. It is necessary to make a difference.DA primary school has brought in a no shouting policy-banning teachers and students from raising their voices. It was brought in to build respect between staff and students at the Ysgol Llwynderw School in West Cross, Swansea. The school has become the first in Wales to be awarded a Level Two Rights Respecting Award by UNICEF after putting an end to classroom screeching .One pupil said, “Our teachers show us respect and no one raises their voices at school. This makes our school calm and makes us feel valued.” Gayle Shenton, headteacher of the 330-pupil school that teaches pupils aged 4 to 11, said, “Llwynderw is a happy school and we will continue to build on this achievement and do our best for the children.”The new rule follows a number of other strange bans in schools across the country-from running to raising hands in class and hugging. Students at Summerhill Infants School in Bristol were told they must stop running for the sake of health and safety. Teachers warned that anyone caught running would be punished by standing against a wall for a minute.Children at Hillfort Primary School in Liskeard, Cornwall, were also banned from running around. And Old Priory Junior Academy in Plympton, Devon, banned children from doing handstands (倒立) at break times for the sake of safety. Pupils at that school were told in June 2015 that they couldnt perform gymnastic (体操的) movements in the playground after some children had been left with injuries.At the start of this academic year, pupils at the Malcolm Arnold Academy in Northampton were banned from hugging and holding hands with each other. And this month, Shiplake College introduced a complete ban on mobile phones. Gregg Davies, the head teacher, said the rule has freed students from the stresses of social media and allowed them to concentrate on their studies.32.

Strange and strict rules in some schools. D. Practical methods for effective learning.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Positive emotions are beneficial to your health.By learning and regularly practicing skills that promote positive emotions, you can become a happier and healthier person.
