阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school I was really nervous too,
especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.
21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A. Excited.
B. Bored.
C. Worried.
D. Relaxed.
23. Who mentions the importance of friends?
A. Frank.
B. David.
C. Sharon.
D. Eddie.
B
When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.
Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.
Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.
“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”
Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twi tter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.
Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen. On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.
“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen —I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southrid ge High School.”
Katie repeated that feeling.
“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me.
I love you all.”
Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”
“I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking t o make the world a better place,”Todd said. “As we finish our
school year, it's a great legacy (遗产) to leave the other classes who come after them.”

It's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!
The male giant water bug (雄性负子蝽) doesn't seem to mind a heavy load (负荷物) on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she
leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch (孵化). The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.
Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.
A similar example can be found in emperor penguins (帝企鹅) living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39°C. As a result, the fat her may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!
28. What do we know about the giant water bug?
A. It is unable to fly.
B. The eggs grow on the father's back.
C. The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.
D. The female looks after her eggs together with the male.
29. What does the underlined word “tends” in Paragraph
3 mean?
A. Waits for.
B. Forgets about.
C. Takes care of.
D. Loses control of.
30. During the hatching period, the male emperor _____.
A. is unable to eat
B. is fed by the female
C. tries to lose some weight
D. can't stand the cold weather
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Mr. Moms in the Wild
B. Animals Do Have Feelings
C. Nature Loves Us like Our Dad
D. Childbirth in the Animal Kingdom

Time: 7:00 A.M. Emily Stupi dives into (跳进) the pool. Cold water hits her, and it's hard to catch her breath. Pulling her arms through the water, Emily begins her first of eight laps (圈). She wants to complete the triathlon (铁人三项).

The triathlon is being held in Glendale, Arizona, and the temperature is freezing on the late-October morning. But seeing her father's warm smile makes Emily forget about the cold.

Emily says, “Courage is something that all people have inside, and they use it to make the world a brave and happy place. My dad showed great courage when he got cancer.”
Emily asked a lot of questions about her father's illness. Her mom says, “We had a family discussion and gave her all the facts. We talked about what cancer is and how money is raised for aid (援助) and research.”
Emily made a promise to herself and to her family that she would compete in the triathlon to raise money to help cancer patients. She trained hard for three months, swimming, running and biking several times a week. She then sent out 150 letters asking for donations (捐赠). Her dad matched the money, and Emily gave $7,000 to the American Cancer Society.
