This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.21. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to_.A. help cure him of his reading problemB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. encourage him to do more walkingD. make him learn more about weapons22. The book caught the authors eye because_.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. he found its title easy to understandC. it reminded him of his own dogD. he liked childrens stories very much23. Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has had happy summers ever since.B. The authors mother read the same book.C. The authors mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has become a successful writer.25. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion for ReadingB. Mums Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. The Charm of a BookBThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled （芭蕾）dancer. “Im an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, its just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible （隐形的）cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,”Your inner ear thinks youre falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you youre standing straight. That can be annoyingthats why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days truly terrible days for some astronauts brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. Thats why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.26. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A. Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyB. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC. Deciding on a proper sleep positionD. Finding a right time to go to sleep.27. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _.A. the y circle around on their bikesB. they use microcomputers without a stopC. they watch a movie while pedalingD. they exercise in one place for a long time28. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _.A. their senses stop workingB. their brains receive contradictory (矛盾的）messages.C. they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD. They have to stand up straight29. One of the NASAs major concerns about astronauts is _.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB. how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC. whether they can recover after returning homeD. whether they are able to go back to the stationCParents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."30. The underlined expression “parental involvement ” in Paragraph 1 probably means.A. parents' expectation on children's healthB. parents' control over children's lifeC. parents' participation in children's educationD. parents' plan for children's future31. What is the major finding of Robinsons study ?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parents are not able to help with childrens homework.D. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.32. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .A. set a specific life goal for their childrenB. help children realize the importance of schoolingC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school management DShare with us Would you like to have your writing published in this magazine?Then let us know!

To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36 Be responsible for yourselfSometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, youre giving away your own power.37 Write a planIt is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” youll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.Be willing to pay the price39 So you must be ready to work hard even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you wont get anything valuable.40 It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.A. Never give up.B. Nothing is easy to get.C. A good plan is like a map t
