A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school．I worked part﹣time helping Dad sell fruits and
vegetables at a market． One day，as I was preparing the fruits，a little boy came by
with his mom and sister． He was about eight years old，and the girl，five or six．
They were looking the fruits in front of me． I heard the kids say to their mom（in
French ） ， "They're good!" I knew it was French ， because I can speak and
understand it．
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits．At first I thought she was
really looking at the fruits because she was facing them． But then I noticed how
much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out． And she often
asked her son if it looked okay， but looked way above where his face was． Putting
what I saw together，I was sure she was blind．
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits．The son made
sure the fruits were not obviously bad， and the daughter handed them to her mom．
The woman then felt each one and smiled， and the daughter would put them into
their basket．The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out．
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before．It
was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help． Most kids that age would
be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves， instead of helping their
mom pick out fruits as the two kids did．
第 5 页 / 共 12 页It was great to witness the moment， but not so great because I didn't tell the
mom how beautiful her children were in their language．this is what I regret to this
day．
（1）The women and her kids came to the market to buy ．
A． fruits
B． vegetables
C． candies
D． toys
（2）According to what he saw， the writer was sure the mother couldn't ．
A． speak
B． see
C． smell
D． hear
（3）The writer was moved because ．
A． the mother was brave to face her problems
B． the kids were polite and kind to each other
C． the mother was careful in picking out things
D． the kids were so willing to help their mother
16．（6 分）Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green
space around． They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter
in certain areas of the brain． These differences are associated（关联） with beneficial
effects on cognitive function （认知功能）． This is the main conclusion of a study
led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health．
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain．Lifelong exposure
（接触） to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on
the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study． Brain
structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）． Working
memory and inattentiveness（注意力不集中）were graded with computers．
"This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to
green space and brain structure．" Says Dr． Payam Dadvand， the leading researcher
of the study． "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could
第 6 页 / 共 12 页result in beneficial structural changes in the brain．"
The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated
with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain． Some of them are
related to higher scores on cognitive tests． Moreover， larger volumes of white and
grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less
inattentiveness．
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in
children． Another study of 2，593 children shows that children in school with more
green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in
inattentiveness．
Humans are believed to be tied to nature． Playing in greener areas offers
children opportunities to search and learn． Accordingly， green space is thought to
prompt important exercises in discovery， creativity and risk taking． These exercises
in turn positively influence brain development．
Dr． Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the
beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development． It also adds to the proof
that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and
the benefits of increasing greenness in cities．
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations， settings
and climates． And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature
and quality of green space．
（1）The second paragraph is mainly about ．
A． how the study was performed
B． what was recorded in the study
C． how long the study lasted
D． who took part in the study
（2）The word "prompt" in paragraph 6 probably means " "．
A． control
B． encourage
C． balance
D． change
第 7 页 / 共 12 页（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A． Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain．
B． Dr． Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment．
C． Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain．
D． Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development．
17．（8分）We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that
will help us unlock our self﹣ improvement power ． However ， there's always
something staring at us right under our nose but we don't see it． The only time we
think of unlocking our self﹣improvement power is when everything gets worst．
When do we realize that we need to change diets？ When none of our shirts and
jeans would fit us． When do we stop eating candies and chocolates？ When all of
our teeth have fallen off． When do we realize that we need to stop smoking？ When
our lungs have gone bad． We see the warning signs and signals when things get
rough and difficult．
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self﹣improvement
power is when the whole world is falling apart． We think and feel this way because
it is not easy to change， but change becomes more painful when we ignore（忽视）
it．
Change will happen， like it or hate it． At one point or another． we are all
going to finally unlock our self﹣improvement power not because the world says so，
but because we realize it's for our own good．
Happy people don't just accept change； they embrace （拥抱）it． Unlocking
our self﹣improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that
is just the way we are． It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change．
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups
of people． She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people．
Over the years， that is what Jane has believed． Every time a great crowd come，
she steps back and locks herself up in a room． Jane not only believes in her story，
but lives it!
Self﹣improvement may not be everybody's favorite word， but if we look at
第 8 页 / 共 12 页things in a different way， we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole
process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved． Three sessions in a
week at the gym would result in a healthier life． Reading books every day would
build up knowledge． And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking
our self﹣improvement power will we realize that we're beginning to take things light
and become happy．
（1）The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ．
A． we learn our lessons when we experience pain．
B． we are responsible for the problems we meet．
C． life fails us when we get into the wrong way．
D． life is a long journey full of ups and downs．
（2）What is the key to solving Jane's problem？
A． She needs to remember why she started．
B． She has to know how to get on with people．
C． She has to realize she is not what she is in her story．
D． She needs to understand the importance of confidence．
（3）The writer probably agrees that ．
A． the world tells us how to improve ourselves．
B． people change when they find it easy to do that．
C． welcoming change in life is a drive to become better．
D． enjoying the process of self﹣improvement makes life simpler．
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A． Is it important to take things light？
B． Is it necessary to embrace challenges？
C． To hold on to the last moment or to give up？
D． To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it？
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（共10分，每小题10分）
18．（10分）When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework， you might
notice that there is no letter E． Have you ever thought about why that is so？
In the A， B， C， D and F grading system， the first four letters are typically
considered passing grades． An F in this system simply stands for "fail"．The word
第 9 页 / 共 12 页"fail" happens to start with the letter F， which seems to leave out the letter E． The
fact of the matter is that any letter can mean "not﹣passing" or "fail"．Some schools
have U grade for "unsatisfactory"，or I grade for "incomplete"．
Even with all this said， we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US．
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use
today is Mount Holyoke College． In 1897，they began to use the following grading
scale：
A： 95﹣100%（excellent）
B： 85﹣94%（good）
C： 76﹣84%（fair）
D： 75%（barely passed）
E： below 75%（failed）
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F．
Gradually，the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US．
However， many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F．There is
no evidence（证据） to really support this，but one possible explanation is that
teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for "excellent"．
Why do we have letter grades？ Well，part of the reason is that they made
grading simpler during a time of great change for schools． As the 20th century
began，growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms．
Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy，fair
and clear way to grade students．
Today，more and more people argue that letter grades don't fully reflect（反映）
student learning．However，as teachers try to improve grading methods，many parents
continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids．They are familiar（熟悉） and
easy for parents to understand． So while they might not be perfect， the letter grades
probably aren't going away any time soon．
（1）what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system？
（2）when was the letter grading system first used in the US college？
第 10 页 / 共 12 页（3）what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade？
（4）what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century？
（5）why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today？
