The other day my friends and I were eating in the cafeteria 3. I saw her walking around. When she came closely to us I could see that she was crying. She pulled out a tissue and quickly wiped her eyes. I thought to 4. that this lady was so under-appreciated that she needed 5.(praise) for all her hard work. So I wrote a note 6.(say) that the students appreciated everything she did and 7. her contribution to our school made a difference in all of our lives. I signed it “Some thankful students” and slipped it into 8. envelope. Then I realized I didn’t even know her name. I asked all of my professors but nobody knew her name. I finally went to ask the lady at student services and 9.(tell) that her name is Kathy. I brought her a bunch of 10.(color) sunflowers and taped the envelope to it. I brought the flowers to school and left them in her office. I believed I would see her smile soon.

Q: My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance in general is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has to get over. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
---- Deborah
A: First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.
You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also prove an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.
---- Ms. Kravis
1.What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?
A．She is applying for a master’s degree.
B．She is very active in her high school.
C．Her disability prevents her studying well.
D．She has difficulty getting over her learning disability.
2.The underlined word “demonstrate” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．show B．develop C．gain D．change
3.What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude towards one’s declaring his/her learning disability?
A．Supportive. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Unconcerned.
4.According to the passage, Mr. Kravis is probably _____.
A．an editor B．a school leader
C．a psychological doctor D．an educational expert

THE situation seemed hopeless．
From the day he started at my junior-high，Willard P.Franklin lived in his own world，shutting out his classmates and me, his teacher．My attempts at establishing a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference(冷淡)．Even a “Good Morning Willard” received only a very low grunt(咕哝)．I could see that his classmates got on no better Willard was completely a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his barrier(障碍)of silence．

At 17, Mark Merwitzer might be Florida’s youngest lobbyist (游说者). The Miami high school junior appeals to authorities to keep drivers from texting behind the wheel.
Over the past year, the teen has met with county officials and state legislators (立法者)to argue that the police should be able to pull drivers over just for using their phones. Efforts in past years have struggled to advance, but recently, the bill got full support from the Senate Transportation Committee (参议院交通委员会).
Like many US people, Merwitzer has seen countless drivers texting behind the wheel. But last spring, while he was riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle, he saw drivers using smartphones in almost every car. A few drivers even appeared to lose control of their cars as they sped along. It dawned on (突然想到) Merwitzer that no one was doing anything to fix the problem.
We need to teach drivers how to properly and safely use technology behind the wheel which is not using it at all,” said Merwitzer.
For the 17-year-old teenager, advocating a new state law has been a crazy experience.
In order to carry out his plan，he put his focus on drumming up (争取)local support by starting an online petition (请愿)and speaking to village councils,
Merwitzer said the first time he spoke at a council meeting “was a complete stutter fest (口吃表演)，” but he quickly adapted to it.
“It really creates some standards that help everybody realize the importance of keeping their eyes on the road,” said Miami-Dade Commissioner (专员)Levine Cava.
The commissioner has been so impressed with Merwitzer’s understanding of the political process. “He really learned very quickly how to be an effective citizen lobbyist,” she said.
So far, opposition to the bill has come mainly from police departments. Some are worried about the possibility of lawsuits (诉讼)if officers are accused of racially profiling (按种族形象定性) drivers when accusing them of texting and driving，Merwitzer said. The bill also has critics in the House, where lawmakers have yet to make plans for a hearing.
Merwitzer said he would one day like to be a state legislator, but in the meantime he has a few short-term goals, like finishing school and going to college. Once the legislative session (期间) is over, Merwitzer plans to turn his attention to another local problem: public transportation. “I’d like to focus on that，” Merwitzer said. “It seems like it’s a giant mess,”
1.What can we learn about Mark from the passage?
A. His struggle has succeeded.
B. He wants to go into politics.
C. He is crazy and determined.
D. He focuses on transportation.
2.Over the past year, Mark has done all the following EXCEPT ,

B. starting an online petition
C. speaking at council meetings
D. making plans for a hearing
3.Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

C
Most high schools have at least four sports they offer to their students. In many districts, there must be an equal amount of sports for boys and girls. Some schools even have sporting clubs. High school sports have been an important part of the high school curriculum(课程) for many years. However, not all parents fully realize the importance. Some children are not even allowed to participate in school sports, because of the cost, the time commitment(投入), or the possibility of injury.
The truth is that high school sports are more than just fun. They are great tools to help students learn about life. They can teach students teamwork, cooperation, and leadership, etc. Students can take these things into their everyday lives as well. When they build their confidence on the sporting field, students are also building confidence against the world. They will be able to work well with others in all other areas of their life.
High school sports are also the perfect way to keep teens away from drugs and other dangerous behaviors. Coaches are great role models that can often encourage players to be well behaved. Some schools even have limits on GPAs (grade point average) for their athletes. If a student athlete’s grades fall below a certain point, they cannot play. Students who love sports will do anything to play, including studying more. They will also be less likely to try drugs or break the law in any other manner. So, allow your children to participate in school sports. Get involved and make friends with the parents of the other students. The whole family can have a great time and learn about sports together.
64. The passage is mainly written for ____.
A. high school teachers B. high school students
C. students’ parents D. sports lovers
65. The author believes that high school sports are ____.
A. interesting and useful B. important and cheap
C. expensive but worthwhile D. dangerous but meaningful
66. What does the underlined part “Coaches are great role models” mean?
A. Coaches respect athletes’ wishes.
B. Coaches are a good example to students.
C. Coaches are good partners.
D. Coaches are great athletes.
67. Which of the following is NOT used to support the idea that school sports help keep students away from some dangerous behaviors?
A. Coaches have a positive effect on students.
B. Schools are strict with their students.
C. Students loving sports study more.
D. Parents can have a great time with their children.
