He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best. Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. You will do something great. He didnt know what would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when Ive felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, Ive come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else. Its time to start writing my own letters to my children . Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fail. Theyre only afraid of failing us. They dont worry about being disappointed. Their fear -as mine was until my fathers letter -is of being a disappointment .Give your children permission to succeed. Theyre waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：Dont worry; youll do something great . Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.（1）We learn from the text that the author _A . lost his father when he was youngB . worked hard before he read his fathers letterC . asked his fathers permission to believe in himselfD . knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do（2）What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph ?A .

Many experts（专家） use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.When we say some people sweet, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about peoples feelings and acts. said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someones character and behavior depending on their taste.In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips werent. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of the experiments is that peoples helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.（1）The underlined word it in the sentence Many experts use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. refers to_.A . the sweet foodB . the English sayingC . the American teamD . the eating habit（2）According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people_.A . overweightB . excitedC . relaxedD . friendly（3）The scientists found that the people who preferred_ were less helpful.A . chipsB . chocolateC . ice-creamD . cookies（4）It can be learnt from the passage that_.A . scientists asked college students questions about their futureB . scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC . people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD . peoples character has nothing to do with their taste四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)26. （5分）从方框中选择恰当的句子补全对话。其中有两个选项是多余的。Ellen: Hello!Kevin: Good evening. _Ellen: _Who is that?Kevin: This is Kevin, Sams classmate. _Ellen: Sure.

Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries. A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置),such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet. More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants. Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional. However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system(系统)allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system. Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure-smart home technology will change the way we live and work.（1）According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through .A . electric lightsB . mirror technologies C . mobile phonesD . shopping programs（2）The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A . the steps to use smart systemsB . the prices of smart programsC . the advantages of a smart homeD . the tools for setting up smart devices（3）Which of the following is TRUE a
