Swimming towards Victory
Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and
the 8th National Special Olympic Games.
Born in Hainan Province, Chen Xingrong could not say a word until he was 2 years old. When Chen Xingrong

how many exercises he wanted to do, and his parents respected his choices. It was a process of self-management.
With his father’s help as well as his good self-management and perseverance (毅力), he succeeded in winning many
medals in the swimming competitions.
As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life fora teenager with autism. His
father hopes that his son can live well on his own when he and his wife grow old. To help the public to know more
about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding, he once organized about 500 people to watch an autism-
themed film.
Thanks to his father’s endless efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood.
He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining
tables.” He is good at skillfully arranging things. He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a wonderful

Hats in Harvard
The cold wind blew through the trees and between buildings. Winter was on its way, Amaya was warm in her
house, thinking about an article she read at school. The article was about the kids who helped out their communities,
and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.
The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. What could a kid do for her town? In the article, the
kids grew food for people who needed it. But it was winter, she couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was still deep in
thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.
On the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk, wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be,
Amaya thought. That gave her an idea! She could help her town. She could collect winter coats, hats, and gloves
for people in Harvard who needed them.
Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least. Mrs.
Monroe was very supportive when Amaya talked about her idea. She even said she could help Amaya talk to the
principal (校长) about it, so they could get the whole school involved! They decided to call the project “Hats in
Harvard” and they wrote up a letter explaining the idea to the families. Mrs. Monroe said they could even take a
fieldtrip to parks around Harvard where families in need gathered to drop off the coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya was
excited, and really hoped the principal, Mrs. Brown, would let the school participate (参加)!
Mrs. Brown was excited about the idea, and said she would make sure copies of the letter went home with all
the students! They collected the winter clothing for a few weeks, then were able to take their fieldtrip to two parks to
leave the clothes where families who needed them could get them.
Three day safer their fieldtrip, Amaya and her mom once again saw the same family walking together. This time,
though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya felt a warm glow in her
heart.
29. The article Amaya read was about ________.
A. the cold weather in Harvard

Most of us probably have told a lie at one time or another. Some lies are harmful. Some are mostly harmless.
Still other lies may even he created with kindness. But whatever kind of lie you tell, it takes surprising brainpower
to pull it off. Lying also can have unwanted influences, too.
When you tell the truth, you think of what you want to say and just say it. However, lying takes much more
work—you have to come up with a story and remember it. A lot of that work is done in a brain area called the
prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层). It’s responsible for working memory and executive function(执行功能) tasks such
as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Working memory keeps things in mind just for a little while as
you’re using them. Executive function comes into play when you use self-control to keep from blurting out(脱口而
出) the facts that would uncover your lie. It helps you recall all the details of a lie to make sure that it sounds
believable. It also lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’re telling will likely hold up to
questioning.
Calling on your executive function this way uses up a lot of brainpower. Vendemia, a neuroscientist at the
University of South Carolina, did a research and has found that people’s mental workload will be heavier and their
reaction time longer when they lie. Worse still, when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, she

notes, it has a harder time doing other tasks such as making a study plan or using self-control to keep from
spending too much time on computer games.
Lying has social influences, too. Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often backfire. When you
give dishonest praise, you may make your friends feel good at first. But if you do it often enough, they’ll soon learn
that they can’t trust your praise. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars, so if you are viewed as
untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.
It’s widely agreed that nearly all cultures value honesty, and now science is revealing(揭示) how dishonesty
influences the brain and your ability to build the trust on which strong relationships depend. So, even when lying
doesn’t stretch your nose, it still comes at a price that you can’t afford.
33. The second paragraph is mainly about _________.
A. why self-control benefits the brain B. what social influences lying can bring
C. how the brain works when people lie D. when executive function comes into play
34. What can we learn about lying from the passage?
A. Lying improves working memory. B. Covering lies takes much brainpower.
C. The nature of lies is decided by the brain. D. People’s reaction can be sped up by lying.
35. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.
A. lead to serious accidents B. help to win full support
C. build up strong relationships D. have the opposite effect
36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Signs of Lying B. Costs of Lying C. Causes of Lies D. Types of Lies

17-Year-Old Is Youngest to Fly Around the World
On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a
five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world
alone.
Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his
birthday during his trip around the world.
He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the
plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane
also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.
Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all, covered

33,630 miles.
Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had
to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan.
Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal
with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks.
He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he
had to land—just as it was getting dark—on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air.
In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”.
Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English
pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year.
Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do
something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said.
37. When did Mack land his microlight plane in Bulgaria?
