Adam Braun established the organization—Pencils of Promise in 2008．Its goal is to make sure all children have a chance for education. Six years later，the non-profit group is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22 000 children in Africa，Asia and Latin America.
It all started when Adam Braun was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him on the street. The boy asked for money. Mr. Braun asked the boy what he would want if he could have anything in the world.“I thought the answer was going to be‘a house’or‘a car’or‘a boat’．His answer was‘a pencil’．So I gave him my pencil and he just lit up with joy. I realized he never had been to school before，and that was the reality for 57 million children around the world，”Braun said.
Adam Braun started working in finance after he graduated from college. But he never forgot the boy and the problem he represented.“We live in a world in which every single child can have access to quality education，because we have everything necessary already. We have the capability of educating every child. So I became immensely committed to helping create that world，”Braun said.

Americans love Christmas trees. The National Christmas Tree Association says more than35 million of them were bought last year in the United States．
In large American cities，many people buy trees that have already been cut. But many people drive to a tree farm and cut their own tree. Some buy one from a catalogue or online，and the tree is then delivered to their home. It is estimated that 10．9 million artificial trees were sold in 2012，compared to 24．5 million natural trees. The average cost of a natural tree was＄40，and about＄70 for an artificial one.
Most Christmas trees are now grown on farms. The trees take six to ten years to grow. In some states，fewer than half of the
planted trees survived the weather conditions to become Christmas trees．T o make sure there is always a supply，farmers usually plant one to three new saplings for every tree they cut down.
The Christmas Tree Association says real trees are better for the environment. That is because as Christmas trees grow，they collect carbon dioxide and other gases while supplying fresh oxygen. The trees also protect water supplies.
Christmas trees are grown on soil that does not support other crops. Some people throwaway their natural tree when the holiday season ends. But many people recycle them. There are many ways to do this. Christmas trees can be cut up to be used as fertilizer. They can also be cut and used to prevent the wearing down of soil. Christmas trees helped many communities to prevent the sand from blowing away.
Artificial- trees，which are mostly made of plastics，can be reused for years. Families use them for an average of six to nine years before throwing them away. But these trees can remain in a landfill(垃圾填埋场）for hundreds of years.
28．What can be inferred from the passage？
A. The lower prices may contribute to people’s preference for natural trees.
B. In 2012 more natural Christmas trees were sold than artificial ones.
C. Farmers plant more new Christmas trees because of their increasing prices.
D. On average an artificial Christmas tree is used for six to nine years.
29．Which of the following is TRUE about the real Christmas trees？
A. Half of the young trees can become Christmas trees.
B. It takes six to ten months for Christmas trees to grow.
C. Farmers plant one new tree for each tree they cut down.
D. Christmas trees are not grown together with other crops.
30．What might be the author’s attitude towards the use of artificial Christmas trees？
A. Favorable.
B. Negative.
C. Casual.
D. Optimistic.
31 ．Which is NOT the way real Christmas trees are recycled according to the passage？
A. They can be cut up to be used as fertilizer.
B. They can be cut and used to prevent the wearing down of soil.
C. They can be used to prevent the sand from blowing away.
D. They can be cut up and used as firewood.
D
Everyone has a sense of personal space. You can think of it as an imaginary “bubble" around you——you can’t see it，but when someone else gets into the bubble，you’ll start to feel uncomfortable.
But how big is this space？According to a new study，the size of the space is different for different people，but generally it is between 20 to 40 centimeters in front of the face，reported LosAngeles Times．
In the study，researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hand while measuring how often the volunteers blinked. The results
among volunteers were a little different，but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters．Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was，the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive.
Besides psychological factors，culture is also thought to be able to change your personal space．For example，a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people.
People’s senses of personal space also depend on the environments they are in.“If you are chatting to someone in your living room，you won’ t have a large safety margin at all，”explained researcher Gian Domenico．“But if you are walking through a dangerous area，then that will be much bigger.”
Sadly，sometimes people just don’t understand the idea of personal space and keep getting into yours. Whenever that happens，rather than trying to step backwards，researchers suggest that you “create a new space" by turning to wave at someone passing by or to get something out of your bag. 32．What can we learn about the personal space from the passage？
A. It is 30 centimeters between people.
B. The size of it differs from person to person.
C. More sensitive people have smaller personal space.
D. People who often hug have larger personal space.
33．How did the researchers get the size of average personal space？
A. By measuring the volunteers’blink frequency while applying electric shocks．
B. By doing a surv ey about the volunteers’psychological condition.
C. By finding out about the volunteers’childhood experiences．
D. By giving volunteers electric shocks while they felt more anxious.
34．The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.
A. factor
B. side
C. space
D. blank
35．According to the researchers，what should you do when people step into your personal space？
A. Try to step backwards.
B. Look them in the eye.
C. Push them away.
D. Turn to wave at a passerby. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Ways to be confident with your English
English is one of the most challenging languages to master. Learning when to use“to”，“two”or “too”，or when to use“beside”or“besides”，requires hours of intense study and practice. Even though you might not yet sound like someone born and raised speaking the language，congratulate yourself on how far you've come. 36 Keep working at it and your skill level will undoubtedly improve.
l. Devote yourself to the English language.
37 The more you hear the language，the better you’ll understand how and when to use common words and phrases and how the language is pronounced．English-speaking children learn the language automatically just from hearing it all around them. The better you get，the more your confidence will grow.
2 38
When you speak in your native language，ask yourself constantly，“How would I say that in English？”If it’s convenient to you，try to watch yourself speak English in the mirror. Get comfortable with the way you look speaking the language，and practice changing anything you don’t like. If you’re uncomfortable making up things to say to yourself，just read your lessons aloud.
3 ．Use body language while you speak English.
Even if you’re having trouble pronouncing words or remembering phrases，don’t keep your head down. 39 If you're in a relaxed setting，lace(交叉）your hands behind your, head and put your feet up. Train your body into feeling in control.
4 ．Find a language partner who、peaks fluent English and wants to learn your language．
Have sessions where you take turns to teach each other. Improve your confidence by knowing you have something valuable to teach，as well as something to learn. 40 Instead of saying“I’m no good at this"，say“Every day I'm getting better”．
A. Keep your back and head straight.
B. And remember that practice makes perfect．
C. Be realistic about the amount of study time.
D. Speak confidently about your English ability.

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop，it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 41 with who you are. There's always someone who's a bit 42 ．The only solution is to reach 43 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 44 measure for comparison than who you were yesterday，last week or last decade，when you were at your 45 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. 46 you see yourself as better than
someone and you get 47 ，or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like you’re your hard work is for 48 ．It is a fool's game. Not one of us is 49 alike. The only direct and honest comparison is 50 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 51 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 52 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how 53 you are，there will always be someone who can run a little faster，jump a little higher，score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not，you can 54 someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life become your best 55 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 56 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs
yesterday，then do 8 today. Who 57 if the guy next to you did 15？It doesn't make a bit of 58 ．You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your own 59 is all you need.
If you 60 to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day，you will always be at the top of your game.

The Importance of Good Sleep
Nowadays lots of students usually stay up late，playing computer games or working on subjects. However，good sleep is essential.
Physically，good sleep keeps us healthy. It’s reported good sleep can keep our heart healthy. Those getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day tend to have a healthier heart than those who don't. Besides，good sleep might prevent cancer. It is believed that when we sleep in the dark，a matter thought to restrict cancer growth is produced. Mentally，good sleep makes us energetic and less stressful. When we lack sleep，our mind will be in a state
of stress，which leads to increased pressure.
To ensure good sleep，schools or teachers should not give students too much homework. Meanwhile，students are advised to learn to manage their time more efficiently.。
