A man who broke his neck outdoors in freezing conditions survived lying in snow for nearly 20 hours thanks to his dog, who kept him warm through the night and barked for help.

The Michigan man, named only as Bob, was alone when he left his farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood. Predicting a journey of only several metres, Bob was wearing just long jeans, a shirt and slippers when he went outside, despite the temperature being around -4°C. However, he slipped and broke his neck.

"I was screaming for help but my nearest neighbour is about a quarter mile away and it was 10:30 pm, but my Kelsey came." said Bob. Kelsey is Bob's five-year-old Golden Retriever. She kept Bob warm by lying on top of him,and

kept him awake by licking(舔)his hands and face. Bob said:"She kept barking for help but never left my side. She kept me warm and awake. I knew I had to persevere through this and that it was my choice to stay alive. " "By morning my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking. She was letting out this screeching howl that alerted my neighbour. He found me at 6 :30 p. m. on New Year's Day. "

Bob's neighbour eventually discovered him after hearing Kelsey's howls and called the emergency services. When Bob arrived in hospital, his core temperature was below 21°C. "I was surprised to find out that I didn't have any frost bite" said Bob, "I am sure it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep me warm and safe." And to the surprise of doctors, Bob made a quick recovery from his neck injury.

"I am so thankful for my two heroes," Bob said. "Kelsey kept me warm, alert, and never stopped barking for help. Dr Colen saved my life and ability to move. They are truly heroes and I will be eternally grateful."

24.Why did Bob wear very little when he went outside?

D. The temperature outside is moderate.

Victor Frankl，the author of Mans Search far Meaning，once wrote，"'Everything can be taken from a person but one thing：the last of human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice.You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control．However，there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude．

To be honest，it wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact．All through my teens and into my early adult life，I can't tell you the number of times that I heard，"Bob，if you'd just change your attitude，you would do a lot better．" At that time，I didn't know what attitude was，let alone know how to change it!

Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day．One is the cause，while the other，the result．There is a term we use to distinguish this "cause and effect " relationship，which is called The Law of Cause and Effect．Simply stated，if you think in negative terms，you will get negative results；if you think in positive terms，you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world．These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems，rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude．Thus，it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life．However，there are others who are forever winning and living the good life．They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen．They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another．They're in control of their life．Their wins are a matter of choice．

You can experience that kind of life as well. You only need to decide．Dorothea Brand once said，"Act as if it were impossible to fail，" and I challenge you to do so．By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are．Don't wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you．Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that

you are meant to lead．

28.What can we know from Paragraph 1？

A. Freedom is the last thing we can control．

B. Most problems in life are in our control．

C. We can choose our attitude at any time．

D. A man can lose anything but freedom．

29.Why does the author use the example of himself in Para.2？

A. To show attitude is important to the old．

B. To show understanding attitude takes time．

C. To prove attitude impacts greatly on people．

D. To prove the author was very stubborn．

30.Knowing "The Law of Cause and Effect" helps readers ______ ．

A. understand what causes a good attitude

B. analyze the effect of a negative attitude

C. understand "cause and effect" relationship better

D. know the benefit of choosing active attitude

31.What is the writer's message conveyed in this passage？

A. Winning is a matter of control．

B. Success begins with positive attitude．

C. Bad attitude results in bad results．

D. Attitude and results are inseparable．

D

The gender gap in maths-related subjects is obvious. In almost all countries, far fewer women than men choose STEM（理工科）careers.

It’s not that girls and women are bad at maths. In the UK in 2019, for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A*, compared to 42% of boys. For A-level physics, 29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys. But in both subjects, boys heavily outnumbered girls—by more than 3:1 in the case of physics. So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?

A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability, but the

ability in question is reading, not maths. Thomas Breda, at Paris School of Economics, and Clotilde Napp, at Paris Dauphine University, wondered whether this male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries take part in the PISA study. Students complete tests in maths, reading and science, and answer questions about their future career intentions. When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012, they realized they were on to something.

“There were small gender gaps in maths performance at 15 years old, but these gaps were too small to explain the huge gender segregation（隔离）in STEM,” says Breda. But for reading, the tables were turned; the girls were much better than the boys. As a result, when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths, the girl usually had an even better score in reading.

When Breda and Napp compared each student’s scores in reading and maths, they found the greater a student’s advantage in reading, the less likely they were to plan a career in maths, even when their maths score was also high. Notably, this was true for both boys and girls.

“It makes a lot of sense,” says Sarah Cattan, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. “It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading, but how good they are in maths relative to reading.”

32.What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?

A. The average gender difference in maths performance is small.

B. Those who are good at maths are also good at physics.

C. Physics tends to be easier for girls than maths.

D. Girls are not better than boys at maths.

33.According to Breda and Napp, who is most likely to plan a career in maths?

A. Tom whose maths is worse than reading.

B. Lisa whose maths is better than reading.

C. Lily whose reading is better than maths.

D. Jack whose reading is as good as maths.

34.According to Sarah Cattan, what do students value much when making

further study choices?

A. Their comparative strengths instead of absolute ability.

B. Their gender advantages in a specific academic field.

C. Their future job landing possibility in an industry.

D. Their particular interest in a certain subject.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why are we drawn to STEM careers?

B. Are boys worse at reading and writing?

C. Why are girls bad at maths-related subjects?

D. Are good readers more likely to give up maths?

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

People may have some unclear memories of their childhood，but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in "Snow White"，the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood"．36 For example，"True love can overcome anything"，and "Even a frog can turn into a prince"．However，at a certain age，we start to learn new things about life，particularly that love doesn't always win，and that a frog is just a frog．

37 Just look at animated films like "The Lion King" and "Frozen"，which have millions of fans young and old．And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland -- a classical music festival -- will also feature the themes of "Childhood" and "Fairy tales"．

"Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form," wrote US author Laura Packer."They are stories of love and loss，desire and death，riches and ruin．" 38 But if children only see just one side of reality，adults usually see the other．For example，in the movie "Maleficent"，we′re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen．39 Instead，she suffers great losses growing up，leading to the creation of her "evil'' side. And in US author James Finn Gamer's book

"Politically Correct Bedtime Stories "，he tells the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood"，but with a modern touch．

40 They may usually start with “Once upon a time” but as we grow older，we learn that every story doesn't always need a "happily ever after" to be a good one．

A．Fairy tales are all about reality．

B．But somehow, our love for fairy tales never dies．

C．Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales．

D．The theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness．E．Fairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children．

F．It looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read us at bedtime．G．Unlike the children's version of the story，we see that the queen wasn't born evil．

There are many reasons why students don't do well in school. Sometimes it's related to, for example, learning challenges, an 41 to connect with an instructor，or simply being bored．

These reasons are relevant to me as a former at-risk student．In the 10th grade，I failed 6 of 7 classes because I didn't 42 with the teacher's teaching method，and 43 with students who didn't care about school．As a result，I 44 10th grade and was assigned to Ms．Felder's office．

Ms．Felder made it clear that my 45 behavior wouldn't be allowed．She also provided a（n）46 direction that I didn't want，but really needed at that time．Our ongoing conversations didn't 47 change my behavior，although it was the first time an educator showed any 48 for me．The previous school year I didn't receive any offer of 49 from my teachers．The 50 during my second attempt at 10th grade was Ms．Felder - who was everywhere I didn't want her to be.

52 ，but it's one of the best things that happened in my life．This seemingly

53 year with Ms．Felder made a change in my thinking and behavior，54 unfortunately it would take many years before my performance and expectations for myself would slowly change．

After many years of academic 58 , I graduated with my undergraduate degree from a famous university；"Ms.Felder：Thank you for being there，supporting this once 59 youth．Please know that the lessons you taught me are now 60 with at-risk students through my work to help them to be and do better, too．"
