I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and munication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and absolutely no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it left over . That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night did the same. I wasnt quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. The continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didnt only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.14. Whatmadetheauthordecidetorunatnight?A. Hisl9 tbirthday.B. Hisparents cake.C. His loneliness.D. Hisfriends.15.

Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart . or was it all a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?It is, in fact, the former. When Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, mercialism (商业主义) was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plan a celebration for the elderly members of her munity. She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didnt often receive visits from their families. So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.In any case,McQuade never wanted the holiday to be amoney grab. Mothers Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how mercialized it had bee. However, it didnt stop card panies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents Day would bee the sixth highest card-selling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a mercial holiday.Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celebrates by trying a new activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, well be painting together,” she tellsRD. Molly Arnolds grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday.Arnoldis the Chief Operations Officer of the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, Barbara Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimers disease.However, just because the holiday is not about mercialism doesnt mean you cant exchange gifts.Spruce.actually suggests that grandparents give their grandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”. 18. Why did McQuade found Grandparents Day?A. To grow her own business.B. To realize her parents dream.C. To remember her own grandparents.D. To call on people to care for the elderly.19. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A way to make big money.B. A celebration of ones wealth.C. A chance to give others money.D. A deal between family members.20. Hallmark thought Grandparents Day _.A. wouldnt grow popular among young peopleB. would bee a mercial holidayC. would turn into a global holidayD. wouldnt last long21. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday.B. Peoples attitudes toward the holiday.C. The effort to carry out the holiday.D. The future of the holiday.DScientists in Australia recently got achance to walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs. In March, they announced that theyd identified thousands of dinosaur tracks along a 15-mile stretch of Australias northwest coast. One of the footprints is the largest dinosaur footprint ever recorded.The footprint is about 5 feet 9 inches long large enough for most people to lie inside it. The print was likely left behind about 130 million years ago by a type of dinosaur called a sauropod. These long-neckedherbivores(食草动物) were the largest known dinosaurs, with the biggest ones measuring about 130 feet long.That giant footprint wasnt the only amazing discovery in the area. In total, the scientistsidentified the footprints of 21 different dinosaur species. That includes thefirst evidence of a stegosaura type of dinosaur withspiky（尖的）plates along its backin Australia. Its the most diverse group of dinosaur prints ever found in one place.“It really is a snapshot（快照）of life during theage of the dinosaurs in this particular area,” says Steve Salisbury，adinosaur expert in Australia.The dinosaurs originally left their footprints in sand. Over time, these prints were filled with other types of sand and small stones. The tracks eventually hardened into rock. To figure out which types of dinosaurs had left them, scientists studied the size of the footprints and the patterns in which the patterns they were made.The scientists worked with a group ofAborigines (Australian natives). The Aborigines hadknown about the tracks for years, but they didnt share their secret with the paleontologists until xx. The scientists and the Aborigines created a digital map of the area and made molds(模子)of some of the tracks. These can later be used to makereplicas(复制品) of the footprints for museums.Officials plan to open parts of the area tothe public to give visitors a chance to walk among the dinosaur prints too. “With tracks, you really feel like youreseeing where one of these fantastic animals actually was millions of years ago,” says Salisbury.22. What can we learn about the huge footprint found in Australia?A. It came from a 130-foot-long dinosaur.B. It was first found by the Aborigines in xx.C. It is evidence of stegosaurs that once lived there.D. It probably belongs to one of the largest known dinosaurs.23.Whats Salisburys attitude towards the discoveries in Australia?A. Relieved. B. Excited. C. Confused. D. Disappointed.24.Why did the scientists work with the Aborigines?A.To have a better understanding of their history. B. To map out the future of dinosaur research. C. To learn about the tracks left by dinosaurs. D. To study the dinosaur prints in museums.25. What would be the best title for the text?A. Aborigines secret B.Prints from the past C. Walking with dinosaurs D.Back to the age of dinosaurs第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。Ways to Take More Vegetables into your MealsRecently, an increasing number of health problems among people have been reported.
