I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didnt have hands,” he said.The nations youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zions operation, said Zion coped with the operation better than many adults. “Ive never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “Hes just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “Its been a long journey but now I feel I am living in my dream. Its his dream, and its mine, too. I m just living through him, and Im just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.”However, Zion told reporters his mom wouldnt let him try out for football. His mom said its too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.4. What is Zion attitude towards his transplanted hands? A. He likes them a lot.B. He tries to ignore them. C. He accepts them unwillingly. D. He has mixed feelings about them.5. What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion? A. He was unusually quiet.B. He was well worth praising. C. He was cleverer than expected.D. He was a talented football player.6. Which description about Pattie Ray is true? A. She always supports Zions decisions.B. She devotes a lot to his son. C. She is the most important person to Zion.D. She seems to be a sensitive mother.7. What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean? A. Accept.B. Prove.C. Fight.D. Comment.C“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a popular saying in the United States. It may be a common saying, but it is not scientifically confirmed. However, a new study adds to evidence that suggests taking a small amount of aspirin can help keep the doctor away.Peter Elwood is with Cardiff Universitys School of Medicine in Britain. Forty years ago, he was involved in the first study to explore the effects of aspirin on the prevention of heart disease. Elwoods team examined 47 studies for evidence that aspirin helped cancer patients. They found theres fairly consistent evidence of a 15 to 20 percent reduction in death and a reduction in cancers spread, by low dose(剂量) aspirin. By low dose, he means 81 milligrams. The study followed cancer patients for five years. Elwood says the evidence is strong that aspirin delays death among cancer patients.Elwoods team are excited to have this evidence from the study. Elwood adds that it is not a cure but a small sign of better things to come, what he calls a little hope and encouragement. “If you asked me personally what I would do if doctors told me I had cancer, I would say I would have no hesitation in taking it. But I do not recommend it to people. I want them to have the evidence and make their own decisions.”The only major risk is that aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. But Elwood says it usually does not cause death. He adds that the evidence points to big health benefits of taking a daily aspirin. So, for some people, the pros might overweigh the cons.8. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. Patients should eat apples.B. Apples are popular with Americans.C. Aspirin can be good for health.D. Doctors should use aspirin instead of apples.9. What does Elwood suggest people do?A. The less aspirin, the better.B. Dont delay in taking aspirin.C. Taking aspirin is a better way to cure cancer.D. Make decisions in the best interest of their own.10. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Aspirin is the best cure for cancer.B. Taking aspirin wont kill in the long run.C. Taking aspirin does more good than harm.D. The side effect of taking aspirin is strong. 阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Our habits are what shape usour words, our behavior, and even our life itself. _11_ Pity yourself.All bad habits start with never-ending pity for your unhappy self and talking endlessly about your bad luck.

A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money._14_Scientists say that people who dont feel like they belong in their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty.
