As a deaf-blind student with very limited sight and hearing, she had a hard time figuring out the food stations in her schools cafeteria.As she explained in a speech on Jan.16, 2012, at the Perkins School for the Blind, she came up with a plan that she would be emailed the menu each day for each station and could pick her destination accordingly, instead of just taking whatever was put on her plate. But the cafeteria sent the email only about half the time. When she wrote to the cafeteria manager to complain, he responded, as she described in her speech, “that they were very busy, that they were doing me a big favor, and that I should stop complaining and be more appreciative.”At that point, Girma turned to the law: “I explained that Title III of the Americans with disabilities Act(ADA) requires businesses to make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities; if the cafeteria refused to do this, I would sue(起诉).” The manager found her during mealtime the next day and apologized, and from then on she received the menus each day.Girmas parents and teachers taught her from an early age that her life need not be limited by her disabilities and that each problem had a solution. At her local public school in Oakland, calif, she learned sign language and Braille. She tried rock climbing, skiing, biking and dance. Yet her parents initially hesitated when, during high school, Girma told them she wanted to volunteer in Mali with a group building schools. “I was 15 and I was traveling outside the country without family,” she says. “And it was amazing. It really helped develop my confidence. If I can go build a school in West Africa, I can go to law school.” Girma is right because she is now a student at Harvard Law School.5. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. girmas teachers B. Girmas classmates C. Disabled students like Girma D. The staff in the school cafeteria6. Girma got the menus as required soon after_.

Through the volunteer experience in Mali, Girma _. A. became more confident B. developed an interest in law C. realized the importance of traveling D. was determined to build more schools8. What can we learn from Girma? A. Never complain B. The customer is always right C. Actions speak louder than words D. God helps those who help themselves.CParents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a childs allowance to chores can be a slippery slope. Heres why. Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities-that is a whole different thing,” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids arent doing a chore, you dont say, Well, there goes your allowance. You are going to seat them down and ask thats going on. We are a team. We are a family. Weve got to have them done.”Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, youll also be sending the message that work isnt worth doing unless theyre getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that its a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage-especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children wont learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isnt tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9. “its up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And thats a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money. 9. Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with? A. Kids should be paid for doing chores. B. Kids shouldnt be forced to do chores C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D. A childs allowance shouldnt be tied to chores. 10. According to Susie Walton, if kids dont do chores, parents should _ A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit. B. talk to them about family responsibilities. C. give them a smaller allowance than usual. D. punish them by not giving them their allowances.11. In para.6, “a straight allowance” probably means _ A. money given by char4ity organizations. B. money earned by doing part-time jobs. C. money earned by doing everyday household chores. D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores.12. What is the authors attitude towards Kevins action? A. worried B. approvingC. doubtful D. unfavorable DImagine cleaning leaves on Christmas, or sweeping snow on Memorial Day. What about going for a swim on Thanksgiving?Without leap day, which takes place every four years, that could happen. “If we didnt have leap years, our calendar would be totally scrambled,” says Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., the nations official timekeepers. Our calendar is normally 365 days long. It was created to match the cycles of the seasons. But Roman Dictator Julius Caesar noticed a problem: The Earth doesnt circle the sun in exactly 365 days. It actually takes about 365.2422 days. He figured out that the extra fraction of a day would cause the calendar to grow apart from the seasons over time. Over 100 years, the seasons would shift about 24 days. Spring would start on April 13 instead of March 20. Caesar used math to figure out a way to stop the calendar from shifting. He decided to add an extra day to the month of February every four year. His idea helped keep the seasons and calendar matched up. Even so, it still wasnt perfect. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII worked on Caesars idea. His calendar, called the Gregorian calendar, dictates that every year that is evenly divided by 4 is a leap year. Turn-of-the-century years, or years ending in”00,” would not be leap years unless they could be divided evenly by 400. This helps keep the calendar in balance with the orbit of the Earth. Today, we still use the Gregorian calendar. In about 3000 years, the calendar will be only one day out of step with the seasons. Its still not perfect, but mathematicians decided it was as close as we could get. So what happens when someone is born on leap day? Do they celebrate their birthday each year, or do they instead have to wait four years to age? Statistics show that in now-leap years, about 80 percent still celebrate their birthdays in February, rather than on March1. 13. Leap day is needed mainly because of the fact that _ A. there are 24 hours in one day B. a year is divided into four seasons C. the Earth doesnt circle the sun at a constant speed D. the Earth doesnt circle the sun in exactly 36514. We can learn that the Gregorian calendar _. A. is a perfect calendarB. was created 500 years ago C. is based on Julius Caesars ideaD. was once questioned by mathematicians15. According to the text, which of the following is a leap year? A. 1900 B. 2000 C. 2002 D. 2014第二节 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。A road trip, when done right, is the best way to travel. Want to make your family road trips something you actually enjoy? Read on. Plan together. Some kids dont like car travel because their grownups dont let them in on the plan. _16_ To prevent travel anxiety, have your entire family sit down together with a map and plot out your route. Then do some research about where youll be driving, and have each person decide on at least one thing theyd like to do along the way. Stop. stop. stop. stop.

Yes, McDonalds, Subway, and Taco Bell are conveniently located along the sides of the freeway. _19_ _20_ Make sure that bat least one of your stops each day gives you time to run around outside.
