My name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets because I’ m a terrible liar. But

there is one

huge secret that I kept for years

—

I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come

close.

Driving

made

me

anxious,

but

my

parents

told

me

I

had

to.

They

signed

me

up

for

driving

lessons.

I

had

gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.

But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing

off the brand new license they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t

remember if I was nervous. What I

do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to

pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my

pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn’t upset that I

was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class

，

I told

everyone I

didn’t want to take the test on my birthday.

One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by

myself, which brought to me an am

azing feeling I’ve never experienced

—

but still, I

couldn’t imagine ever telling

anyone the truth. So I didn’t . It wasn’t

until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my

college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.

（

Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which

one couldn’t

make a true man.

Although

onions

taste

delicious

,

watering

eyes

come

with

the

process

when

you

cut

them

up.

Thankfully,

Good Housekeeping has suggested some tips to prevent yourself from crying while trying to cut up an onion.

According to the findings from the Institute, putting onions in a fridge 30 minutes before cutting can prevent

the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking(

催泪的

) gas from being produced.

Another

way

to

reduce

the gas

released

by

the

onion

is

to

put

it

in

water

for

a

while.

Good

Housekeeping

recommends:“Cut the end off the onion and then

put it straight into a bowl of water. The water will draw out the

acid making you tear up less when you cut it. ”

When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur (

硫

) in the soil to create a special mineral acid. When the onion is

cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying gas causes the eyes to produce

tears.

The root is where the gasses are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on

as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half down the middle, then cut off

part of one side to create a flat surface. Then , place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it towards the

root.

Also, to reduce the gas’s effect on your eyes , cut it next to a windo

w or near a fan so the gas is blown away

from your face. And take care to use a sharp knife; this will make it easier to move through the vegetable, causing

fewer cells to be broken and less gas to be released as a result.

~

28. Refrigerating the onion before cutting can

.

A. change its taste

B. make it easier to cut up

C. avoid generation of the gas D. help the gases mix more quickly

29. From the fourth paragraph, what happens when the onion is cut up

A. Some acid mineral is lost.

B. The tear mixture is created.

C. The sulfur inside it pours out. D. A chemical reaction produces a gas.

30. What does the underlined word”this”in paragraph 5 refer to

A. Producing more tears.

B. Leaving the root uncut first.

C. Promoting concentration.

D. Making the onion more tasty.

31. The main purpose of the text is to

A. advise and explain B. examine and analyze C. argue and discuss D. present and compare

Do you have a younger brother Does he always get in trouble w ll, there might be some science behind that.

According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second- born boys are more likely than

first- borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brothers or sisters

sprites.

Researchers,

who

explored

data

from

tens

of

thousands

of

sibling(

兄弟姐妹

)

pairs

from

Denmark

and

Florida,

found second-born boys are 20 to 40% more likely to have behavioral

problems. If you’re the second

-born child you

may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than

first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.

“Second

-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first- born

children experience

their mother’s maternity leaves(

产假

). Firstborns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time

with mum following their birth, but the time mum takes off with

younger siblings, too,” the authors explain.
