I had hoped that they wouldn't use those eye drops that make your eyes very sensitive （敏感）to light for hours-but they did. I came out of the office into bright afternoon sunshine.To catch a train back to my job in downtown Calgary, I headed toward the station. But half blinded by sunlight, I stumbled and fell. My glasses flew off my face. I looked around for them, or rather felt around for them, found them and picked them up. They had landed in the worst possible way and broken. That was terrible. Without my glasses I'm so nearsighted that I'm legally blind. I cannot see the big E on the eye chart.There T was in an unfamiliar part of town, eyes ultrasensitive to light, on a sunny day, couldn't see a thing, all alone. I couldn't help it: tears ran down my cheeks. I was getting pretty panicky.It was about then that a young girl, somewhere in her teen years, asked me what was wrong and whether she could help me. I told her what had happened. She helped calm me down and offered to call someone for me. She put the coins in the pay phone and dialed my husband's office number, which I couldn't do for myself. He said he'd e get me. Then she waited with me until he arrived and handed me over to him.That girl was a plete stranger. She could have ignored me. She could have left me to wait for my husband alone. But she certainly missed whatever train she had been waiting for. She didn't make me feel foolish. She made me feel safe. So many years has passed. She's probably forgotten the whole incident, but I sure haven't.14. What happened to the author after the eye checkup?A. She lost her way.B. She missed her train.C.

What are the best words to describe the girl?A. Selfless and patient.B. Generous and honest.C. Flexible and grateful.D. Confident and fair.CParents may fear that if their high school student isn't motivated （有动力）to do well in classes, there's nothing that will change that. But a new study found that students9 learning motivation often did changeand usually for the better.1,670 students from grades 9 to 11 took part in the study in two school years, during which they pleted several surveys that assessed their motivation. After each survey, the students were placed into six different profiles （档案）, from worst-those who were not motivated at all, to best-those who had an inner desire to learn.The study found about 67 % students did change their profiles during the two years and there was an overall positive change in students9 motivation. For example, 8% of the students were in the best profile-autonomously motivated一in the first year, and that increased to 11.4% in the second year. The worst profile, the not motivated, described 2.8% of the students in the first year, dropping to 2.1% in the second year.“The other good news in the study was that if we can find better ways to motivate students, if we can get them in a better profile, they tend to stay there J said Kui Xie, lead author of the study and professor of educational studies at the Ohio State University.Why did students move in a positive direction? One reason may be simply because they're a year older and more mature （成熟）.But the study did find two factors that impacted how likely they were to bee more motivated. One was the previous achievement. Students who had higher grade the first year were more likely to remain in better profiles in the second year of the study. The other factor was school belongingness, with students who felt they were more a part of their school in the first year being more likely to move to or stay in a better profile in the second year.“This may be one area where we can help students bee more motivated J Xie said. "Belongingness is something schools can change. They can find ways to help students feel like they are part of the school mimity.”17. What did Kui Xie's study discover?A. Students9 willingness to study can be improved.B. Teenagers5 inner desire to learn can be assessed.C. Students from grades 9 to 11 are easy to be inspired.D. Teenagers? learning motivation is parents' most concern.18. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. The background of the study.B. The influence of the study.C. The purpose of the study.D. The process of the study.19. According to the study, what influences students9 motivation?A. Their average ages.B. Their previous scores.C. Their personal profiles.D. Their motivated schoolmates.20. What may Kui Xie probably agree?A. Schools should put students in better profiles.B. Students should have their own assessment plan.C. Schools should use motivation strategies to inspire students.D. Students should improve their munication with their parents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you and your family are like most people, chances are that you are spending a lot of time these days on screens.

Also recognize that sometimes a little extra effort is worth it.Being thoughtful about our use of screens will help make smart choices about screen time in the future. We can create new habits to help usand our familiesmaintain a healthy screenlife balance.A. And then go do something else.B. So what are we supposed to do?C.
