Adrian said, "Sending Amos to school was such a different path. He was 3 when he started school. He had autism自闭症）and he didn't speak.”Amos struggled to make friends and fit in, but there was always one person there who was very happy to see him. Raymond Brown has worked at the school as a guard for the past 15 years. All of the students know and love him, and he*s truly a friend to all. He started calling AdrianTs son'Tamous Amos on day one.To the mom's surprise, Amos quickly began responding with a cheerful "Hey, Brown" whenever he saw him. "He wasn't even saying 'daddy' at home, so it was really something. Adrian said.“Amos is a hard friend to have,“ Adrian explained. "He takes a lot more than he gives and that*s tough for children. But those kids saw that he was popular and loved, and they started fighting over who would get to hold Amos* hand on the way to the classroom. It meant so much to me that he was favored by the other children at school, and Mr. Brown had a big hand in that.ffAbout a year ago, school officials nominated Mr. Brown for North Carolina's School Hero, a $20,000 prize. When the results came out and he didn't win, Adrian was heartbroken. She couldn't let the disappointing results stand, so she took to Facebook and created an annual “Famous Amos“ prize for Mr. Brown in their community. Her neighbors answered the call, donating $35,000 in just one week! Townspeople and school officials gathered in March to celebrate Mr. Brown and give him the money they'd raised. Principal Michelle handed him a giant check and thanked him for everything he does to help kids like Amos find their way.21 .What made Adrian worried?A. Her youngest son's bad behavior.B. Her youngest son's mental problem.C. Her family's heavy financial burden.D. Her three sons'poor performance at school.22. What change did Mr. Brown bring to Amos?A. Amos became a top student at school.B. Amos learned to share and care about others.C. Amos got more attention from other kids.D. Amos had a better relationship with his family members.23. What did Mr. Brown get in the end?A. The “Famous Amos“ prize.B. A check from the local government.C. North Carolina's School Hero prize.D. A small donation from the community.BMost good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact.Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away.If you wear glasses, be sure to buy the nonglare lenses.Do not stare.Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation一if only the interviewer would let you.Slower nodding, on the other hand, emphasizes interest, shows that you are confirming the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Leaning the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability.Your smile is one of the most powerful positive body signals.Everybody looks better when theysmile.Offer an unforced, confident smile.Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning like a fool for the length of the interview, no matter what.This will only communicate that you are insincere.It's worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness.This may be done by touching the mouth frequently;"faking，z a cough when confused with a difficult question; chewing one*s lips absent-mindedly. Displaying any of these "insincerity signs“ when you are asked about why you lost your last job, will confirm or increasesuspicion about your honesty.24. Which of the followings may cause your failure in the job interview?A. Nodding the head slowly.B. Natural eye contact.C. Smiling throughout the interview.D. Touching the mouth occasionally.25. Which may be the possible title for the text?A. Do Respect the InterviewersB. Facial Signals for Job InterviewsC. Effective Communication in Job InterviewsD. Eye Contact during Job InterviewsWhat does the underlined word"suspicion“ in the last paragraph mean?A. Understanding. B. Doubt.C. Expression. D. Agreement.CIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England. What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted for at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. The term "time machinez， , invented by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called "wormholes” , which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the "grandfather paradoxz/ . It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells* book, the main character travels into distant time. He arrives at a beach where he is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles （触角）. If thats whats in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.26. Why is the novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To praise the contribution of H. G . Wells.B. To state the story's different features.C. To prove the long history of time travel.D. To show people's interest in time travel.27. What can we know about Einstein's and Hawking*s theories?A. They push the invention of the first spaceship.B There is the possibility to invent the time machine.C. They have been proved wrong by some time travelers.D. There are differences in many ways between them.28. What does the "grandfather paradox" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather.B The traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather.C. The grandfather death makes the traveler's birth impossible.D. The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness.29. According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.第二节阅读填句（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dive with Big SharksTired of your boring life? Looking for something thrilling?
