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 amazing

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.

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 i

t 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 window or n

ear 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.

It’s not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP,

co-

author Joseph Doyle said, “The

first-born has role

models,

who

are

adults.

And

the

second,

later-born

children

have

role

models

who

are

slightly

unreasonable

2-year-olds,

you

know,

their

older

siblings.

The

difference

of

parental

investments

and

the

sibling

influences

probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations,

even against laws. It’s just very difficult

to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.

The results , the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.

32. What does the underlined word

“sprites” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
