A
When
your
dream
is
to
become
a
footballer
and
play
for
Barcelona,
nothing
should
get
in
your
way
―
even if you
have no feel.
An 11-year-old schoolboy
Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feel, will fly
from his home in
Brazil to take part in
the Spanish club
’
s summer
training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is
one of
the top players at the school
and captain of his gym class. He can run,
dribble(
运球
), pass and strike
the
ball as well as any of his able-
bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on
the football pitch.
His best friend
Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video
for
the Sun
,
“
He is skillful, he
goes
after
it, he
is
fearless and
he
knows
how
to organize
plays.
He
also
makes
good
passes.
”
Mum
Sandra was thrilled that her son would
achieve his dreams. She said,
“
He started walking before
he was
one. We
would
go
after
him,
expecting
him
to
keep
falling,
but
he
never
fell.
”
Muniz
’
s
gym
teacher
added,
“
He is challenging the
social norms(
标准
). When he
arrived there, no one believed in
him.
”
But
he
showed to everyone that he could play as well as
any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to
show his talent.
The Spanish
La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to
Spain in September, where
he
’
ll be
albe to
show off his
“
fancy
footwork
”
and meet his idol,
Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.
Muniz
wears
a
prosthetic(
假体的
)
ankle
and
foot
to
keep
him
get
around
in
rainy
weather.
He
knows that his disability means
he
’
ll never be able to play
for a professional football team, so Muniz is
hoping that football will one day
become a Paralympic(
残奥会的
)
sport.

of Muniz
’
s football
abilities?
A.
Just so-so.

C. Very bad.
D.
Skilled.
2. What can we know about
Muniz according to the passage?

C. He has great difficulty
in living a normal life.
D. He is going to play football for the
Spanish La Liga soccer club.
3. Which
saying can best describe
Muniz
’
s experience?
A. A good
beginning is half done.
B. All is well that ends well.
C. Never put
off tomorrow what we can do today.
D. Where there is a will,
there is a way.
B
How nice
are you? Do you give money to homeless people? Do
you offer your seat to someone in
need
on a bus?
Many people believe that
confident people think more highly of themselves,
while those who have
low
self-respect
think
less
of
their
good
qualities.
However,
a
new
study
says
it
might
not
be
true,
reported
The Guardian
.
The
study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a
psychology(
心理学
) professor
from the University of
London, the UK.
He found that 98 percent of British people
consider themselves to be among the nicest
50 percent of the population.
In the study, Freeman first asked some
people to rate(
评级
) their own
niceness. Then he got people
to answer
questions like
“
Do you give
directions to strangers?
”
and
“
Have you ever donated
blood?
”
.
The
results showed that people are not as nice as they
think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped
others carry heavy shopping bags, and
only a quarter of them donated blood.
In another study by psychologists from
universities in Chicago and Virginia, the US, some
people
were shown pictures of
themselves. Some pictures had been slightly
changed to make them appear more
attractive. When asked to pick the
unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more
attractive ones.
So, why do we think
we
’
re nicer than we actually
are? There are many theories. A popular one says
we
unconsciously(
无意识地
) cheat
ourselves, so that we can get confidence without
knowingly lying to
ourselves or each
other.
How
can
we
solve
it?
Other
studies
show
that
there
is
a
simple
way:
feedback(
反馈
).
Compare
others
’
opinion
toward yourself with your own and you will see a
clearer picture.
4. What did the new
study find?
A.
The more confident people are, the more good
qualities they have.
B. Most of the people with low-respect
are not nice.
C. People with great confidence do not
like those with low-respect.
D. People are nicer in
their own eyes than they really are.
5. Why did people choose the more
attractive pictures of themselves?
A. Because they were not
happy with their own looks.
B. Because they wanted
themselves to look good.

C. Because they lied to
themselves without knowing it.
D. Because they were not
able to tell the difference.
6. What does
the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to be a nice person.
B.
People
’
s opinion of their
own niceness.
D. How to know ourselves
well.

For 300 years,
the Slims River had been flowing through
Canada
’
s Yukon region. But
last year, in
only four days, the water
in the big river reduced sharply, which made the
river almost disappear. What
happened?
After
a
year
of
careful
studies,
a group
of
scientists
recently
said
that
the
sudden
change
of
the
river was caused by climate change. The
Slims River used to be a big river, reaching up to
150 metres at
its widest points. It
carried melt water from the huge Kaskawulsh
glacier(
冰川
) into the Kluane
River,
then into the Y
ukon
River toward the Bering Sea.
But in
spring 2016, there was a sharp melting of the
Kaskawulsh glacier because of climate change.
It made the melt water run in a
different direction, and into a second river, the
Alsek River, then into the
Gulf of
Alaska. It is thousands of kilometers away.
In geography, this is called
“
river
piracy
”
. Although it was not
unusual in ancient times, this is the
first time it has happened under
scientists
’
noses in modern
times. The Slims River is almost dry now,
which also takes away the clean air in
the region because strong wind blows up all the
dust in the river
bed. Fish have
already swum to other rivers. And sheep from
Kluane National Park are now coming
down to eat the fresh plants.
Lonnie Thompson, a scientist from Ohio
State University, the US, said that we could
hardly feel
the effects of climate
change in our daily life, but the case of the
Slims River shows what will happen
when
gradual temperature increases.
7. Why
did the Slims River almost disappear?
A. Because the air
pollution brought more rain to Y
ukon
region.
B.
Because the climate suddenly became hotter than
before.
C.
Because the human activities destroyed the banks
of the river.
D. Because the Kaskawulsh glacier did
not exist any longer.
8. Which of the following statements is
true according to the passage?
A. The Slims River has now
become part of Kluane National Park.
B. The air in the region of
the Slims River is still clean.
C. Climate
change has no effect on our daily life.
D. Global
warming can bring sudden changes to the
environment.
9. In which direction did the water run
in 2016?
①
the Kaskawulsh glacier
②
the Gulf of
Alaska
C.
Others
’
opinions toward you.

the underlined part
“

”
in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.
A river suddenly disappears without any reason.
B.
Two rivers join together to make a bigger one.
C.
The flow of a river is suddenly taken away into
another.
D. The water in a river reduces
sharply.

Ways to
Save Money When You
’
re
Shopping
Smart shopping is important
for a low budget(
预算
).The
following tips will help you save money
when you are shopping.

a shopping list
. Before you go
shopping, make a list of things you plan to buy.
11
It
will help
avoid your impulse(
冲动

shopping.
Only bring the cash you
need
.
12
Before you go out, put a small amount
of cash in your
purse to cover all the
buying you plan on doing. If the cash runs out,
your shopping time is over for the
day.
When it comes to clothes, just buy the
basics

smaller number of basic pieces.
When in doubt, leave the
store

The problem with
my mom and dad
’
s
relationship was very clear. However, I was not
prepared for
the
16
when
mom
told
us
that
dad
had
decided
to
leave.
All
that
I
could
think
of
was
that
I
was
going to become a
17
of a
divorced(
离婚的
) family. It was
18
I
had never thought possible, and
it
19
me greatly.
The night before
he left, I
20
in my room for a long time. I wrote a
long
21
to my dad. I
told him how
much I loved him and how much I would
22
him. I told
him that I would
23
and
forever
be
his
Krissie.
As
I
folded
my
letter,
I
stuck
in
a
picture
of
me
24
a
saying
I
had
always
heard,
“
Anyone can be a father, but
it takes someone
25
to be a
daddy.
”
Early the next
morning, as
my dad left our
26 , I
sneaked(
偷偷地走
) out to the car
and put my letter into one of his bags.
Two weeks went by with hardly a word
27
my father. Then, one afternoon, I came
home from
school to find my mom sitting
at the dining room table
28
to talk to me. She told me
that dad had
been there
29
that they had
talked for a long time. They
30
that there
were things that both of
them could
share and that their marriage was worth
31 .
Mom then
turned her focus to my
32
,
“
Krissie, your dad told me
that you wrote him a letter. Can
I ask
what you wrote to him?
”
I
nodded. Mom
33 ,
“
Well, your dad said that
when he read your letter,
it made him
burst into tears. It
34
a lot to him. After he read
your letter, he called to ask if he could
come over to
35
. Thank you, dear. What you said really made a big
difference to your dad.
