• 2．I entered a cabinetmaking（家具制造）program.I didn't think I would be good at making furniture.I'm not handy.Nobody in my family is.
     I had great teachers，but making furniture is hard.There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one.I couldn't even get organized.My toolbox always looked as if a hurricane had gone through it.
     I didn't fully know what I was committed to in the beginning，but I kept attending class.I tried to be wrapped up in math.The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems.My brain started to build new connections.Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health.I got over my fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
     I spent that year truly learning.True learning is the most challenging experience，especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills.I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made，but I couldn't fix those problems.And yet，I kept trying.I failed again and again，until I learned to fail better.
     In the end，I finished the program-with honors，no less!My grades were helped by my good written work.I also learned how to use tools.Having to constantly push myself to step outside my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person.
     Maybe most importantly，the school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations.I'm stronger than I thought!

• 3．It's become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends，but if schoolchildren were in their parents' shoes，the majority wouldn't share posts of their sons and daughters online.Over 55% said they would not upload news about，or images of，their children to their social media feeds，according to survey of over 16，000 pupils by Votes for Schools.
     While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely，others expressed concern about their personal data being compromised.One of the pupils surveyed said， "Although our parents mean well，sometimes the consequence of a post can be disastrous."
     In response to the survey，children's mental health charity Place2 Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays - the best period for parental oversharing.
     In one video，about safety online，10-year-old Adavan said， "If you share anything with your family，you know who's going to see it.But if you share it publicly，there are millions of people who can see your picture."
     Joe Hancock，a security lead at Mishcon de Reya，encouraged parents to share wisely. "Simple steps，such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings，are a good start.And，as we found out from the children during filming，having their permission is key，" he said.
     The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.Sandra Davis，head of the law firm's family department，said， "Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting （曬娃）- the full extent of which we cannot know yet.We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintended consequences further down the line."
  
  （1）What's most pupils' attitude towards sharing posts about children？

  
  A．Skeptical.
  B．Unconcerned.
  C．Tolerant.
  D．Unwilling.
  （2）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Summarize the previous paragraph.
  B．Provide some advice for parents.
  C．Predict the consequence of sharing posts.
  D．Give reasons for the result of the survey.
  （3）What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock？

  
  A．Safety.
  B．Consequence.
  C．Wisdom.
  D．Health.
  （4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Parents should take children's opinions into account.
  B．Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.
  C．Children must make sure to listen to their parents.
  D．Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.

• 4．The prevalence of melanoma（黑素瘤）has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century.While some of the increase may be due to better detection，researchers also believe it's because we're spending more time outdoors in the sun，vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds.That rise is concerning，since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.
     Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot，sunny days，but when fall arrives，we tend to drop those habits.Experts warn that's a mistake.Though there's less need for sun protection after summer ends，exposure to UV rays still adds up.
     What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world.That's because the further away you are from the equator，the more UV rays weaken in the winter. "In southern England or Canada，the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day，" says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. "People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months."
     But no matter where you are，even during colder，lower risk months，it's a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. "It's important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow，" says Victoria Mar，director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne，Australia.
     Finally，you should monitor your moles（痣）. "Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment，" says Djye.aifey.If it's caught before it spreads to other parts of the body，the patient will have 99% of chance to survive for five years.If it's caught late，that can drop to 25%.Warning signs are a mole that's changing size，shape or colour，or one that's asymmetrical-sometimes referred to as "ugly duckling" moles.If you have concerns，talk to your doctor.
  
  （1）What's the main cause of the rise of melanoma？

  
  A．The climate change.
  B．Better detection.
  C．More exposure to the sun.
  D．The increase of skin cancer.
  （2）What's a mistake according to experts？

  
  A．Applying sunscreen in summer.
  B．Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.
  C．Using sunscreen during lower risk months.
  D．Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.
  （3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Prevention is better than cure.
  B．Health is better than wealth.
  C．A disease known is half cured.
  D．When the sun comes in，the doctor comes out.
  （4）What is the best title of the text？

  
  A．Detect Melanoma.
  B．Beware Winter Rays.
  C．Monitor Your Moles.
  D．Spend Less Time Outdoors.

• 5．You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water.You get what you need，head to the front，and choose the line that looks fastest.
     You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. （1）

  
     It turns out，it's just math working against you；chances are，the other line really is faster.
     Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.（2）

  Any small interruption - a price check，a chatty customer - can have downstream effects，holding up an entire line.
     If there are three lines in the store，delays will happen randomly at different registers.Think about the probability：（3）

  So it's not just in your mind：Another line probably is moving faster.
     Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in one long，snaking line - called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register.（4）

  This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants.With a serpentine line，a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
     （5）

  It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly，and some stores can't afford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be：Good luck.
  
  A.Why does this always seem to happen to you？
  B.So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines？
  C.Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
  D.The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
  E.How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line？
  F.With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
  G.But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.

• 19．Last March，Margarito drove to visit his mother who lived in the countryside.When he set off for home，Margarito's mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm.Worried about her son's safety，she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
     With his mother's words in mind，Margarito approached the main road carefully.Soon，it started to rain heavily.Eager to get home，Margarito began to drive faster.Two hours later，he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek（小溪）.Margarito，driving a four-wheel drive truck，figured that he would be OK.At that moment，he didn't realize that such a thought would be a big mistake.
     It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place：The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle，pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed.The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away.Margarito's problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle，making it difficult for him to open the driver's side door.Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly，Margarito was certain he was going to die.Shaking with fear，he was at a loss about what to do.
     On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike，who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside.They witnessed the horrible incident，and when Margarito's truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek，Steve quickly began to take action.First，he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
