About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.

In the teacher’s office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”

Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.

My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?

He was angry: “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”

No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn’t want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”

Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.

As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的).

Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places — something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.

1.The teacher asked the author to his office ______.

A. to discuss Scola’s in-class performance

B. to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten

C. to find a language partner for Scola

D. to work out a study plan for Scola

2.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Breaking　 　 B. Following

C. Attending　　 D. Disturbing

3.The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as ______.

A. critical　　　　 B. casual　　　　 C. positive　　　　 D. passive

4.This text is likely to be selected from a book of _______.

A. medicine　　 B. education　　 C. geography　　 D. History

Humans run in packs like dogs. When a new dog enters the pack, a lot of discovery goes on. So bring cookies for everyone! Then try making friends with one co-worker. Invite her to lunch.

After four silent years, the 27-year-old British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album (专辑) 25, which will come out on Nov. 20.

Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.

“I want to fix people’s hearts,” she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.

Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing (治愈)　 powers. “Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their hearts. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele,” said The Telegraph. “She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”

Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, “I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21.”

Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Waling Dead.

Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world,” Adele told i-D, “So I live a low-key life for my fans.”

1.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. The popularity of Adele’s album 25.

B. The healing powers of Adele’s music.

C. The secrets of Adele’s success in music.

D. The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Adele wasn’t interested in music.

B. Adele wasn’t good at music at first.

C. Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.

D. Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.

3.Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?

A. To live a low-key life.

B. To win the Grammy Award.

C. To make sure the quality of her music.

D. To share the secrets of her heart as a musician.

4.What can we know about Adele?

A. Her album Hello will come out on Nov. 20.

B. She has kept a diary since childhood.

C. She moved to the countryside before 2012.

D. Her works are based on real life.

After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Mission accomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.

Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.

She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ale doughnuts for breakfast.

But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children from attempting such dangerous feats (壮举) But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.

Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.

“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”

1.Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because 　　　　　 .

A. people were concerned about her safety

B. she didn’t learn any sailing skills well

C. she had to continue her study at school

D. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips

2.What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Failed.　　 B. Completed.

C. Continued.　　 D. Started.

3.In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to 　　　　　 .

A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors

B. stop children entering Guinness World Records

C. encourage parents to sail with their children

D. prevent children making dangerous attempts

4.What could be the best title for this passage?

A. A New Guinness World Record in Sailing

B. A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors

C. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Around the World

D. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records
