We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing 40 the challenge isnt worth the 41 and call it quits. Although there are certainly 42 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 43 all that is needed is 44 and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 45 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 46 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 47 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 48 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt,” 49 “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 50 they are: small hurdles you need to jump or 51 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 52 to get over, and hurt only 53 to make us stronger.

Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the babys grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. We thought they were all lost in the sea, says Schleifer.Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the babys grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. He belongs to the people of Halifax, says Schleifer. Theyve taken care of him for 90 years.Adapted from People, November 25, 200256. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his_.A. mother B. parents C. aunt D. relatives57. What is probably the boys last name?A. Schleiferi B. Eino. C. Magda. D. Panula.58. This text is mainly about how_.A. the unknown babys body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsBSuper smart chimpsIn a memory-based competition between you and a chimp, who do you think would win? If you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again.In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than Japanese college students.Heres how the test worked: at Kyoto university in Japan, human students and chimpanzee participants sat in front of a computer. Different combinations of five numbers, all ranging from 1 to 9, appeared at random places on the screen.The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second. In the first test, for example, participants saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about two- thirds of a second)Then each number was replaced by a white square. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment before.In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80%of the time. A young chimp named Ayumu performed equally well.During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds.This time, students only managed to put the boxes in the correct order about 40% of the time. But Ayumu still managed to select the boxes in the right order nearly 80% of the time.Some people have whats called a photographic memory, which allows them to remember a surprising number of details after just a quick glimpse of something. Ayumus memory might work in a similar way, says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa. The chimps young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too. In previous tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers.The scientists are interested to know whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he ages. They already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories that work photographically, but they typically lose this ability over time.59. Researchers carried out the test to find out_.A. who has a better memory, human or chimpsB. whether young chimps have a better memory than the older onesC. what makes chimps better at remembering numbersD. how humans can remember numbers when they only see them briefly60. The underlined word randomin paragraph 3 means _.A.in order B.without aim C.automatically D.purposefully61. How was the test carried out?a. The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second.b. The winner was the participant who finished the tasked with higher rate ofcorrect answers.c. Each number was replaced by a white square.d. Different combinations of five numbers, all ranging from 1 to 9, appeared atrandom places on the screen.e. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order.A. acdeb B. bcdea C. adceb D.daceb62. Researchers are not certain whether _.A. humans lose their strong memory as they ageB. chimps lose their strong memory as they ageC. young chimps can remember numbers in less time than their mumsD. kids can remember numbers in less time than their mumsCOn September 22nd, 2020, Jay Brunkella, a police officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicageo, was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly afterwards his fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran（老警官）of the force ,returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.DadThis poem is directly from my heart .I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I wrote to express how much I love you and how much lost Id be without youLaura. P. S.: Lets be careful out there.Titled “The Ultimate Cop”, Lauras poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad”. It was about a police-officers daughter who saw on the night-time news that her father had been shot. Part of the poem: “Daddy, my Daddy ,can you hear me cry? Oh, God, I need my Daddy; please dont let him die.”Ken Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes. He said. “Id get through part of it and have to stop before I could go on .I was weeping. She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. “Ive never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldnt finish it.”Knapcik Keeps Lauras poem in the pocket of his police jacket .He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I dont want to be out there without it ,” he said , “Ill probably carry it with me forever.”63Laura wrote the poem_.Ain memory of her father who was shot in the drug arrestBto show her great sorrow in losing her fatherCto show her respect to all the cops who lost their livesDto tell officer Ken Knapcik how much she loved him64All the officers cried because _.AJay Brunkella was shot and diedBThey were greatly touched by the poemCthe poem was so sad that they couldnt hold back their tearsDthey thought of their dangerous life65Knapcik keeps Lauras poem in his pocket_.Atotreasure his daughters love and to value his own lifeBto keep it from missingCbecause he cant go out without itDto mourn over the death of officer Jay Brunkella66Which of the following is the best title for the passage?APoem for a copBAn officers deathCDaughters loveDLove my job, love my daughterDA gentle breeze blew through Jennifers hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “Its getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. It all seemed deser
