2、me and said,“Excuse me,do I know you?”My heart fluttered for this,a loyal reader.I smiled.“Well.”I said,“Who do you think I am?”“Elaine?”I shook my head.“Connie.”“Oh,”he said.His eyes rested on my head.“Its your hair,”he said.“You look younger from behind.”Silence,except for the sighs from the trave

3、llers who forgot to pretend they were not listening.At the very moment when I hoped exactly no one knew who I was,a woman said,“I look forward to reading this essay Connie.”Had this happened right after I turned 50,I might have spent the entire flight sitting in my sitting in my seat holding a mirro

4、r and combing(梳理)my hair.Five years into this adventure,I laughed and put the mans observation on Facebook.It takes a little time to accept that the world is onto us.Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison said in a speech at Oberlin College last year that each of us sees ourselves at a certain age,frozrn

5、in time,which may explain why my hair still brushes（拂过）my shoulder.Inside,Im 27.When I was 30,I read Gail Godwins novel The Finishing Scholl.One particular passage says,“There are two kinds of people.One kind,you can tell just by looking at them at what point they became their final selves.However,t

6、he other kind keeps moving,changing.In my opinion,they are the only people who are still alive.”Life was hard,and then it got better.Fifty was hard,but 55 feels just right.1.Hearing the first words of the young man,the author felt .A.embarrassed（尴尬的）B.frightened C.annoyed D.excited 2.After the event

8、e good age of 30 4.Whats the best title for the text?A.Trouble at a certain age B.Life in the middle ages C.An unusual flight experience D.The changing world around us B.You probably know frogs（青蛙）hop（双足跳）.But did you know that theres a tiny frog in the Pacific Northwest that bellyflops（肚子先着水）?Its c

9、alled tailed frog.Dr.Rick essner,who has been studying tailed frogs for the past few years,says,“Ive looked at thousands of jumps and have never seen them land on their feet like other frogs.”Most of the time,tailed frogs land on their stomachs and then bring their back legs in to prepare dor anothe

10、r jump.Essner first noticed these frogs because of the way they swim.Other frogs kick both of their back legs at the same time.But when a tailed frog swims,it pushes first with one leg and then the other.To try to find out why tailed frogs bellflop,Essner and other scientists collected and filmed di

11、fferent kinds of frogs.They found that all of the frogs start their jumps the same way:they stretch（伸出）their legs.The change comes in midair（半空中）and in landing.Tailed frogs cannot move their back legs as quickly as other frogs do.Maybe they dont need to.Tailed frogs live around water and quickly jum

12、p into the water to escape danger.Early frogs developed around watery areas and could jump quickly into the water to escape danger.Scientists think those frogs blended in with（与融合在一起）the green plants on the side of the rocky streams,just like todays tailed frogs.“I would guess that other animals wou

13、ld have problems detecting them,”explains Essner.W hen they did find those early frogs,the frogs could jump into the stream.They didnt need to continue hopping.Tailed frogs and other kinds of frogs went their separate ways about 200 million years ago.Tailed frogs stayed by streams.Other kinds of fro

16、into the water for protection B.hop around quickly C.hide in the green plants near the streams D.jump onto the rock.C How come it seems like every kid today is a winner of something,when we know every kid cant be a star?These days,kids are first divided by age,then by achievement,and often by the ty

17、pe of performance.American culture in general has increasingly accepted prizes and awards.The winner-take-all prize tradition that characterize American culture started in the early 20th century,the attention on competition,and ranking（等级）in general,grew rapidly.The 1970s had the most prize creation

18、s,including the addition of even more prizes to fields such as film and literature.Music competition,including the introduction of the American Music Awards,saw similar growth in this time period.Since then,prizes have become increasingly fashionable,along with childrens competitive activities.While

19、 awards may help people set goals and practice their activity,awards are also a business practice.Trophies（奖杯）help make sure that customers return year after year.Keeping kids,parents,teachers and coaches happy with lots of recognition keeps the money flowing to the organizers of the competitions.Tr

20、ophies may keep kids coming back,and their parents paying,but research finds that giving kids trophies for doing an activity means lower levels of encouragement.High levels of encouragement are exactly what we want to foster（培养）among kids to help them get long-term success and take pride in a well-e

21、arned achievement.So parents need to be careful when trying to get titles for their young kids,and make sure the honor created is for their kids and not for praise from anyone else in their childrens lives.9.What does the author mean by saying“we know every kid cant be a star”in paragraph 1?A.We sho

23、ture is so important in America 11.What does the author think of trophies?A.Businessmen benefit a lot from them.B.Parents pay too much for them.C.They help kids get long-term success.D.they mean nothing at all to kids.12.In the text parents are advised to .A.choose competitions for kids wisely B.sto

24、p kids taking part in any competition C.invite kids to join in more outdoor activities D.let kids face fierce competition by themselves D No one person invented the bicycle.Instead,many people worked together over time.Experts say that the first plans came from Leonardo da Vinci.This famous inventor

25、 and artist wrote plans for a modern bicycle hundreds of years ago.But inventors did not create the first working bicycle until the early 1800s.The first bicycle had wheels.But it did not have pedals（踏板）to move the wheels.The rider pushed the bicycle forward.They made this bicycle with a heavy steel

26、 frame（框架）.And they made the wheels out of wood and iron.People called this bicycle the“boneshaker”.On the stone streets of that time,the bicycle shook the rider very hard.Over the next ten years,inventors made the front wheel even larger to increase its speed.They also added rubber tires（轮胎）on the

27、wheels.People called this bicycle“the ordinary”.But these kinds of bicycles were difficult to push forward and it was difficult to change directions while riding.In 1885,JK Starley invented the first modern bicycle.He put similar-sized wheels on the front and back of the bicycle.He also added a thin

28、 metal chain that worked between the pedals and the wheels.But it was still difficult to ride a Starley bicycle.Itn the 1890s inventors made more movements to the bicycle.They used better rubber for the wheels.They developed good brakes（刹车）to stop the bicycle.It was not long before people all around
