Max Horne,18,whose Chinese name is Hong Mingwei, is fluent in Chinese. He has visited China seven times since 2015. He has been to Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, HongKong,Chengdu, Kunming,Lijiang and Tibetan areas in southwestern China. “I have been studying Chinese for the past seven years, and I loved every minute of it,” said Max Horne. “When I was in primary school, I had a lesson on the Silk Road. I became very interested in Chinese culture at once. I am thirsty for learning Chinese,” Horne said. Last year,Horne won a national Mandarin（普通话） speech competition for high school students.Horne shared his story at the 13th Chinese Bridge Speech Contest for US high school students. Horne said that being able to speak Mandarin was the gift of a lifetime,and he decided to pass it on. So he started an after-school Chinese program at Riverdale. “I felt that the gift of China was given to by my Chinese teacher and all the other educators. So I really want to give that gift of understanding China and Chinese culture to other kids,” he said. “I teach some third, fourth and fifth graders simple Chinese. I hope that they would be in interested in China and love China, too.” Unlike many other US high school students,Horne is something of a “Chinese local”. He knows how to shop on Taobao, sing Mandarin songs in Douyin, and listen to popular songs that are often used in square dancing in China. Horne recently got accepted into Harvard University. Horne said he himself was a good example of the two countries people-to -people exchanges.21. What inspired Max Horne to learn Chinese? A.A short trip to China. B.A lesson on the Silk Road.

Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely (可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them. Peer (同龄人) pressure has always been a big part of the teens experience. Even the best father cant completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗) the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example. Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesnt, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend. Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers dont get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job?A fathers guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.24. Teenagers without fathers focus are more likely to A have higher self-worth B. experience some dangerous things C. become the best students in school D. resist all bad effects of peer pressure25. What does the third paragraph tell us? A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parents. B. Teenagers never attend church with their mothers. C. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models. D. Fewer teenagers like to attend church wit h their fathers.26. Which can replace the underlined word“perspective”in the last paragraph? A. lots of concern B. job C. School D. point of view27. What can we learn from the text? A. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers. B. Teenagers care less about what their parents do. C. Mothers have no effect on their childrens life. D. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly.C Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur（创业者）, who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kidsteeth，instead of destroying them. It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why cant I make a healthy candy thats good for my teeth so that my parents cant say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dads permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moores productCancandy. As CanCandys success grows, so does Moores credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and shes also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile, with her parents help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasnt driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandys profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could not be the limit for Alice Moore.28. How did Moore react to her dads warning? A.

But then, as youre standing there, a nearly silent balloon floats (飘) over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tell it, and then it simply says “follow me” like a childs game, and begins to float off in the direction of your destination. It keeps going, as you follow, leading you to where you want to go. The guide works itself, without any help from any human being. It says hello to people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then guides them to the destination. The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift. Onboard is a wireless (无线的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors (传感器) that let it know where objects are around it. The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years, and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future because it is so much easier to follow! 32. The balloon is used to _.

A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves.
