My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr Brown
had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the
classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to
myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr.
Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student
called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His deskmate Josh couldn’t
understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr Brown, “I don’t want to sit
with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr. Brown didn’t answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on
his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids
have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond everyone else’s understanding. However, they can
do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at
maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all
the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they
should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure
Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track.
4.How did the author feel when seeing his table?
A. Surprised.
B. Curious.
C. Excited.
D. Unhappy.

B. He has too many admirers.
C. He is a great teacher.
D. He is too different to be loved.

Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in Mediterranean(地中海)，swimming and floating in the picture-
perfect sea.It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca，Spain.The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue
horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was one of the things we talked
at length about. When we imagined our life with the children, we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those
plans. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the
dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how fascinating the world
is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels.
But there was something more than that：What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit
longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on our
busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating
breakfast and going out the door in time for school. We needed family time out.
It was the wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible moments.When we look back at our lives, I know we'll be
glad we did it.I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
8.What did the couple often dream of fourteen years ago?
A.Going to Mediterranean.
B.Travelling with their children.
C.Some storybook sailboats.
D.Their children's growing fast.
9.What does the underlined part“make good on” probably mean?
A.do good to.
B.carry out.
C.make up.
D.put off.
10.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The travel.
B.The children.
C.The transportation.
D.The diverse world.
11.What was the most important in the writer's eyes?
A.Doing everything slowly.
B.Living a busy life.
C.Sticking to the routine.
D.Slowing down the time.

Now researchers have found that humans produce a different odor (气味) when under pressure — and dogs can sniff it
out. While previous studies have suggested dogs might notice human emotions, possibly through smell, questions remained
over whether they could detect stress and if this could be done through smell.
Wilson, head of one research team, pointed the findings could prove useful when training service dogs, such as those that
support people with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). “They’re often trained to look at someone either crouching down on the
floor, crying out in fear, or starting to do self-injurious behaviors,” said Wilson. The latest study, she said, offers another
potential clue.
Wilson and colleagues trained four dogs to identify the container holding a particular breath and sweat sample, even
when the containers included unused gauze (纱布), samples from another person, or samples from the same person taken at
a different time of day. After the team is confident that the dogs understood the approach, they turned to collect breath and
sweat samples collected from 36 people asked to count backwards from 9,000 in units of 17, and the participants reported
feeling stressed.
Later, the dogs were taught to pick out samples taken just after the task. The researchers then tested whether the dogs
could do the same with samples taken from the same participant just before the task, when they were more relaxed. Each set
of samples was shown to a single dog in 20 trials.
The results reveal that the dogs chose the “stressed” sample in 675 out of the 720 trials. It was pretty amazing to see
how smoothly the dogs act in telling people these two samples definitely different.
12.Why did Wilson and colleagues do such an experiment?
A.To train service dogs for people with PTS
D.To help people understand how stressed they are.
B.To confirm dogs can smell out stressed people.
C.To prove dogs could recognize human emotions.
13.The service dogs will usually provide help when someone ________.
A.hurts himself
B.lies on the bed
C.produces an odor
D.screams in excitement
14.Which order does the experiment follow?
a. To train dogs to pick out the particular container.
b. To show each set of samples to a single dog in 20 trials.
c. To collect samples from participants when they are stressed out.
d. To ask participants to count backwards from 9,000 in units of 17.
A.a-d-c-b
B.a-c-d-b
C.c-a-d-b
D.c-a-b-d
15.What’s the author’s attitude towards the finding?
A.Negative.
B.Positive.
C.Uncertain.
D.Neutral.
