Are you often 36 of them?My daughter (12 yo, 7th grade) is on the cross-country team at her middle school. As with any 37 , the cross-country team has its “stars” as well as its less 38 athletes. Ethan, Michael (8th grade) and Kenji (7th grade) are the 39 runners for the boys. Yesterday was the first track meet of the season, and when she got home, my daughter told me a story that made me 40 .According to my daughter, one of the new 6th graders is a boy named Albert. He is apparently “a little short and 41 ” and has never played any 42 races before. The 6th graders ran last, three laps (圈) around the school. 43 in the race, Albert was dead last. All of the other racers were 44 the race when he was just at the end of his second lap. Albert thought he was 45 near the end. But quickly the poor kid realized that he had another whole lap left to run. He broke down and started 46 .When Ethan, Michael, and Kenji saw Albert in a 47 mood in the middle of the field, they didnt even 48 . All three of them immediately went out on the field to run Alberts last lap 49 him. Everyone knew that was 50 the rules in cross country, yet they all remained 51 . Both other teams hung around and waited for Albert to finish. When he managed to 52 the finish line, all three schools cheered for him.After my daughter told me this sweet story I said, “I hope Albert doesnt 53 the team after this.” She replied, “No!

Its possible that some children may find things to like about the movie. The animated feature has even more than the recommended daily allowance of scatological humor and B.O. jokes for the average 8-year-old. Anyone much older than that is in for a big disappointment. Childs PoseIn the movie world, most national new waves dont last long. An exception is the Romanian renaissance, which has featured first-class movies now for more than a decade. The latest is “Childs Pose”, an improper title for a marvelous movie. Its surprising that the Romanian film, starring Luminita Gheorghiu, missed the cut for an Oscar nomination (提名). Winters TaleFairy tales are not only for children and“Winters Tale”, the film adaptation of a best-selling book, aims to attract even middle-aged adults into believing in the magic of everlasting love and the power of miracles. This is a movie that is many thingsa great work of hubris (傲慢), a misguided attempt at filmmaking, unbelievably boringand yet it is nothing. 300: Rise of an EmpireOne of the challenges of sequels (续集) is that they often wind up being too little, too late; following up 2006s “300” some years after the fact, “300: Rise of an Empire” actually offers too much, too late. Within the first minutes of the film, as Leana Headeys Queen Gorgo gives explanation in a clipped voice, we get to see cruel killings.56. What can we infer from the above about the movies mentioned?A. Mr. Peabody & Sherman reflects the feature of the novel completely.B. Childs Pose is worse than other Romanian films made in the past decade.C. Winters Tale is not considered by the writer as interesting as its original.D. 300: Rise of an Empire succeeds in avoiding common drawbacks of sequels.57. The above writing is probably carried in the column “_”.A. Whats onB. Brief reviewC. New moviesD. Recommended moviesBCreativity is generally characterised by the ability to observe the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to produce solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing.If you have ideas, but dont act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.Some people say creativity has nothing to do with innovationthat innovation is a discipline, implying that creativity is not. In fact, creativity is also a discipline, and a crucial part of the innovation equation. Thereisno innovation without creativity. A study on creativityshows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of people feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority only 1 in 4 people believe they are living up to their own creative potential.Another studyreveals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative. Creativity is a skill that can be developed and a process that can be managed. Creativity begins with a basis of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of thinking. You learn to be creative by experimenting, exploring, questioning assumptions, using imagination and synthesing (综合) information. Learning to be creative is similar to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles.Beliefs that only special, talented people are creative weaken our confidence in our creative abilities. The concept that geniuses (天才) such as Shakespeare, Picasso and Mozart were “gifted” is a myth (神话). Researchers examined outstanding performances in the arts, mathematics and sports, to find out if “the widespread belief that to reach high levels of ability a person must possess a born potential called talent.” Few showed early signs of promise prior to parental encouragement. No one reached high levels of achievement in their field without devoting thousands of hours of serious training. Mozart trained for 16 years before he produced an acknowledged master work. Moreover many high performers achieve levels of excellence today that match the abilities of a Mozart, or a Gold Medallist from the turn of the century. 58. Real creative people must be good at _. A. relating various things to each other B. using their heads whenever possibleC. looking at things from different anglesD. putting what they think of into practice59. Why does the writer refer to learning a sport? A. To claim that people are not born creative. B. To illustrate the difficulty of acquiring creativity. C. To prove that creativity begins with knowledge. D. To show the relation between creativity and sports.60. A conclusion can be drawn from the passage that _. A. creative people are equal to gifted people B. how hard you work decides if you will succeed C. talent is not as important to creative people as confidence D. parental encouragement plays a key role in developing creativityCEveryone is familiar with white fat, which serves as an energy warehouse. Many mammals also have brown fat, which has the unique ability to produce heat. Brown fat is sometimes mistaken for a type of gland (腺), which it resembles more than white fat. It varies in color from dark red to tan. When the animal is exposed to a cold environment, the color darkens. In contrast to white fat, brown fat has numerous nerves which provide sympathetic stimulation (刺激) to the fat cells.Brown fat is most noticeable in newborn animals, wrapped round the central organs to keep them warm. In human infants it occupies up to 5% of body weight, then declines gradually. Certain quantities of brown fat can be discovered in adult humans, especially when they are exposed to cold temperatures. Most of brown fat in adults is located in the lower neck.Exposure to cold leads to sympathetic stimulation of brown fat cell. As in white fat, sympathetic stimulation promotes hydrolysis (水解) of triglyceride (甘油三酸脂), with release of fatty acids. In contrast to other cells, including white fat cells, brown fat cells express UCP1, which gives the cells mitochondria (线粒体) an ability to produce heat rather than ATP. Within brown fat cells, most fatty acids are immediately combined with oxygen in mitochondria and a large amount of heat is produced.There is only about 50g of brown fat in the neck region and it switches on and off throughout the day as its exposed to different temperatures or if you exercise or eat. But this capacity is much greater in young children compared with adolescents and adults.The challenge is now to use the knowledge to find out what might switch on brown fat. If it is switched on, we can benefit from it. Brown fat produces lots of heat by burning calories. Unlike white fat, brown fat does not expand our ageing waistlines. And thats why the race is on to find out more about brown fat, and how humans could use it to our advantage, though we would waste energy unnecessarily, and we would sweat a lot and forever be opening windows.61. Which is the unique factor of brown fat producing heat? A. Fatty acids.B. Triglyceride. C. UCP1.D. ATP.62. We can learn from the passage that brown fat _. A. becomes less in amount with ageB. proves less active in low temperaturesC. exists nowhere but in the lower neckD. has nothing in common with white fat63. The underlined word “infants” in Paragraph 3 means “_”. A. cellsB. organsC. bodiesD. babies 64. We take special interest in brown fat mainly because it helps us _.A. save energy B. develop powerC. keep warmD. keep our figureDI do not know Sybrina Fulton. Nor can I claim to understand the depth of her pain. Yet, we share a deep connection. A common feature experienced by those women who face the challenge of raising a Black male child in a nation that far too often views Black male bodies through fear. You see, Ms. Fulton is living my nightmare (恶梦). A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.Through the years, I have witnessed the worlds reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man. In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic (有磁性的). Complete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit. Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp their purse tighter as he walked by.Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred. I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life. He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep both hands on the wheel at all times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions. He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior. Still, the truth of t
