When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment shed need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadnt seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.4.Kelly is nervous when _.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her5.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that_.A. the race began in the early morning B.

What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determined B. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and braveCStanding in the shower waiting for the water to het up could be a thing of the past, along with all the wasted water. Three and a half years ago, Lindy Honeychurch, a thirty-year-old Australian full-time mum living on a farm outside Launceston, didnt consider herself a very good water saver. Neither did her partner who often complained about it with good reasons. Their farm had to rely on tank water and solar power, which meant water had to be trucked in if he tank water ran out in summer.“I looked at where I could save because I could lead an easier life without the complaint,” she said. Modeling her idea on a car thermostat(恒温器), Lindy used her kids magnetic(磁的)drawing board to design a device that diverts the cold water back down the hot water pipe. “The first aim when I started designing was to keep it really small and simple without having to use power. I wanted to keep it as something that everyone could use,” said Lindy.She got a patent for her design and took it to some engineers to have it tested out. At first, even though the engineers were amazed that she wasnt an engineer, she said she sometimes found it hard to be taken seriously. “My age was a real factor because in the plumbing(管路系统)and manufacturing industries youre dealing with people whove got a lot of experiences,” she said. But the engineers soon saw the potential of hr design, which she estimated would save average families between 14,000 to 22,000 liters per year.” when you transfer that to the dollar savings on tank water that you have to buy, it can be a saving of $600 per year,” said Lindy.Armed with positive feedback from engineers and people using rainwater tanks, her design proved a great success. Soon she found a manufacturer early this year, and completed a state government commercial ready course to help her research, her markets and distribution channels. With an Australian Standard for her device just approved, shes about to start manufacturing and wishes to see her products on the shelves within the next few months. Once that happens, Lindy plans to return to being a full-time mum.8. What does the second paragraph mainly about?A. Lindys unhappy family B. Lindys comfortable farm lifeC. The function of Lindys invention D. The background to Lindys invention9. What drove Lindy to invent a water-saving device?A. Her dull life as a housewifeB. The difficulty in getting water on her farmC. Her husbands requestD. The need of increasing agricultural water10. What happened when Lindy first took her design to some engineers?A. They did not pay much attention to itB. they believed it was a great inventionC. They helped her test it out immediatelyD. They laughed at her because it was no use at all11. What can we know from the text?A. Lindy didnt enjoy being a full-time housewife but liked being a working mumB. Lindys products have been widely welcomed in the markets at home and abroadC. Lindys design was liked by engineers and people using rainwater tanksD. Lindy had a lot of experience in the plumbing and manufacturing industriesDAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that weve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austens Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliots Middle march at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”Its true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if were fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps whats really strange is that we dont re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldnt think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.12. Why are the two books mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To attract the attention of readers. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To provide some background information. D. To show the similarity between re-readers.13. What does the underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recite them.B. Retell them.C. Recall them.D. Re-read them. 14. What can be learned from the passage?A. Reading benefits people both mentally and physically.B. Readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading.C. We know ourselves better through re-reading experience.D. Writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do.15. What is the writers purpose of the passage?A. To bring awareness to the significance of rereading.B. To focus on the mental health benefits of reading.C. To call on different understandings of old books.D. To introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两厢为多余选项。Top 3 Self-Discipline Techniques Self-Discipline is the key to leading a healthier, happier and more successful life. 16 We have shared some self-discipline techniques below.
