Come as soon as you can cried my mother. I wanted to hurry to her at once . But , my husband, Larry , and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother s crying went through my head again and again. Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak me, If theres something I can do, let me know. Thank you very much, Id reply. But I didnt know what to ask for. Suddenly , the door bell rang, It was Emerson, He and his wife Donna lived in the nearby.“I have come to clean your shoes,”he said.I asked to him to repeat.“Donna had to stay with the baby,”he said , “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to get the childrens shoes cleaned and shined for the funeral. So thats what Ive come to do for you. Give me all your shoes.” I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then ,Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another. When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stand in a line against the wall,clean,shining. I couldnt help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now, whenever I hear of a friend who has lost a loved one, I no longer call with the vague offer. If theres anything I can do .

He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do. He had failed twice,once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back.He left his high camp at 1.a.m,using a headlamp to find his way in the dark. He had already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb. He had also lived through terrible cold,strong winds, and separation from friends and family.“The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing,as it,in fact, lowers the altitude of the mountain by several thousand feet,”says Viesturs, “if I could not climb Everest without oxygen, I wouldnt climb it.”“You have to be physically fit,”he says. “but the mental part is big. It is so hard to keep going above 20000feet.”While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step. He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead. Then hed find another rock, then another. Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet. “ It was one of those dream come true moments.” Viesturs says.Today ,Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the worlds 13 other highest mountains, all without oxygen. He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties.Finally, in his words, “The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn back. We should go step by step when working toward our dreams. There are no shortcuts to the top.”38.What does the article mainly talk about?A. Viesturs first successful climb of Mountain EverestB. Viesturs physical preparations for climbing Everest.C. The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his lifeD. The lesson that Viesturs can share with others.39. What do we know about Ed Viesturs?A. As soon as he reached Mountain Everest ,he set out for Everest climb.B. He has been to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains without oxygen.C. Well prepared, he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mountain EverestD. So far, he is the only one to have reached the top of Everest without oxygen40.

Over every mountain there is a pathDParents of very young children know this: you catch you child i the act of stealing the cookie-the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial: “I did not do it.”Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment , is an important part of moral development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.Early in 2017 Professor Craig E Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wring, such as taking a classmates a toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing it. In each case, they asked the children, how would the child feel？ How would the mother feel？The childrens answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research ,showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four to five years old thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-old were more likely to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive feeling towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a childs confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than a lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.38. What does the underlined word “denial” in paragraph 1 mean?A. 委屈 B.责备 C.否认 D.拒绝43. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _A. Kids can not tell “right” from “wrong”B. It takes time to for kids to learn to tell the truthC. It is wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD. All the kids are willing to confess to a bad act44. What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad cat.B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad cat.C. The four-to-five-year-old would feel better confessing the crime.D. The seven-to-nine-year-old thought parents would be angry with their confession45. According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.B. Parents should tell the children the wrongness of lyingC. Parents should never get angry after their childrens confessionD. Parents should show positive feelings about their childrens confession第二部分 非选择题（60分）四、词汇运用(共10小题,每小题1分,计10分)46.The _faces were a sight , covered with dust.(boy)47.You can enjoy water sports, or_lie on the beach.(simple)48.Some complain that visitors are_too much stress on the environment.(cause)49.People who often list things they are thankful for are happier and _(healthy)50.Never give up!

Most decisions are not life-changers. But often, the decision isnt between this or that; it is between acting or not. If this challenges you, here are some tips.Jog or ride a bike to nowhere. Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar. Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way. Then, see where you end up. Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going? Try to lose yourself more often. It will make you better at making a decision.Sit outside without any technology for an hour. Let yourself get bored. Can you hear the birds singing? The wind blowing? Yourself breathing? Try to do this once a week, then every other day, then every day. One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things. A break from the noise will lead you to the decisions you need to make.Do something that scares you. People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes. Tell someone you love them. Laugh loud in public place. Give a speech to a stranger. And when you do this ,remember how you feel. When you are scared by a risky situation the next time, tell yourself that you did not die. And try to trust the process in the future.Some of these things may seem silly, but the more you do them, the more you will control yourself. It doesnt matter where you are going. Just go.
