Because of anxiety and malnutrition, he became very weak and before long fell 29 ,and a doctor was sent for. The doctor was not rich enough, but 30 literature. He tried his best to cure Savage of his illness and a week later Savage was out of 31 When he finally recovered his 32 ,the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his 33 ,but poor Savage had no money to 34 it.

Quite simply, because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person had the right to fail.Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily made table as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything. No one can win all the time---and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invitedto a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course, but parents should not offer a quick consolation prize(安慰奖) or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment---and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “why did I fail?” Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring.Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a second one, from an ill—chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt(激起) fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine auditioned(面试) for a professional company. She was turned down. “would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said, “you haven’t the body for it.”In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(鉴定) bravely and ask, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy—a way to find new possibilities.46. The first paragraph tells us _______.A. the reason why so many people are afraid of failureB. the reason why we don’t know how to failC. failure is very natural for every personD. one should be ready to face failure at any time.47. The second paragraph tells us___________.A. how a mother praised her childrenB. two ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children failC. how to shift blameD. parents should blame their children at the proper time48. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?A. Ways to avoid failure.B. No one can be best all the time at everything.C. No parents should offer quick consolation.D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success.49. What can make a positive contribution to one’s life once he learns to use it?A. SuccessB. DisappointmentC. FailureD. Value.BWas he dreaming? David Ewart saw a red ball of fire. He shot out of a deep sleep and heard his ten-year-old daughter, Heather, screaming. Ewart jumped out of bed on the second floor of his home. Downstairs he heard loud popping noises, glass bulbs, furniture, appliances exploding as fire consumed them.Three hundred and fifty people, including friends and family members, had attended Ewart’s annual Christmas party at his home in Valencia, California. David was a giver. They all enjoyed themselves. After the party, he and his 77-year-old mother, Esther, put out the candles—all but one,missed and left burning on a holiday paper tablecloth.Now, as Ewart started down the hall to alert his parents and three children, he said a silent prayer: God, if it is your will, save us. The heat was hellish(地狱般的). But then he felt a hand on his shoulder—and something that was not quite a voice guiding him, giving him the direction: the bedroom window.He kicked out the window screen and told Heather to jump onto the patio(院子) cover, crawl to the edge and drop to the ground, the feet below. Next he headed for his two sons, Jonathan, 13, and Michael, 15, who were screaming with pain. David led Jonathan to the window. He returned for Michael, who was now helping his grandparents, trapped in their room behind a jammed door. Michael threw himself against it and finally burst through. David guided his mother, then Michael, to safety.Only his father remained. The 81-year-old’s face was badly burned. He lost his footing and fell. David took his hand and helped him to the window. Too weak to hold on, his father rolled off the patio cover to the ground.Finally,David escaped. Second later, the second floor exploded, yet all the while, he felt he was being led, under protection. The family survived and firefighters said they were mystified(迷惑) as to how the family survived. David Ewart was not.50. Why did the fire take place?A. Three hundred and fifty friends were at their home.B. David and his mother put out all the candles but one left burning.C. Someone set fire to their house.D. David Ewart saw a red ball of fire.51. Which is the following is Not true?A. Michael helped his parents escape from the fire.B. David Ewart helped heather jumped out of the burning room from the bedroom window.C. David’s father was too weak to hold on , at last he was dead.D. David’s mother was saved out earlier than his father.52. How many years older was David’s father than his mother?A. 2B.15C. 4D. the same age53. How many people were trapped when the fire broke out?A. 350B. 6C. 5D. 35654. What does the writer want to tell us from the story?A. Everyone should be aware of the danger of fireB. People shouldn’t hold big parties at homeC. United, we stand, Divided, we fall.D. When in danger, we should keep calm.CRoom for Revolution: George Washington and His Philadelphia FriendsMarch 16,2007 August 30,2007Charles Wilson Peale’s George Washington at Princeton is on view(展览) at the museum which was lent from a private collection. This visually striking and finely made life-size portrait(肖像)records Washington’s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength, composure(沉着), and elegance(高雅). It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor(客厅), a periodroom from one of Philadelphia’s greatest eighteenth-century private homes, where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel. Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphia’s finest craftsmen, such as Thomas Affleck and Aitken. Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia.Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peal’s painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote Washington’s reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later , during Europe’s Napoleonic Wars, a Spanish duke(公爵) with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption(标题) to it, which describes Washington as “a liberator of his country who abandoned absolute power.”Curators馆长,监护人American Art Department Staff, website commentary by Carol SoltisLocation位子Galleries 286 and 287, second floor55.

【人教版】高中英语必修二：Unit 5 单元测试题 1(含答案)
Unit 5单元测试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AOn a dark winter day in Russia in 1896, Sergei Prokofiev sat by a piano next to his mother. She was helping him compose (作曲) his first piece of music. Sergei was only five years old.He had overheard his parents discussing a terrible famine (饥荒) in India. The picture Sergei had of those hungry people in his mind caused him to write a story, in the form of musical notes. Sergei could not read music, so he picked out a tune on the piano keys, and his mother recorded the notes. Sergei titled it “Indian Gallop.”Sergei's mother began giving him piano lessons for 20 minutes a day, and his ability grew quickly. She had a great love for music, too, and Sergei often lay awake in bed at night and listened to her play the piano.Sergei's parents found a famous music teacher for him. The teacher shouted at Sergei when he didn't practice reading and playing music. Sergei later wrote, “I wanted to compose great musical plays, and instead I was given all sorts of boring tasks.” Yet he persisted with his studies and grew up to be a great composer.In 1936 a children's theater asked Sergei to write music that would teach children about different instruments. He was happy and wrote the piece in a week, calling it Peter and the Wolf.Sergei's Peter and the Wolf was enjoyed by children as well as adults. The first time Sergei played the piece on the piano, the children listening to it loved it so much that they made him play the ending three extra times. He was excited.Today Sergei Prokofiev is remembered not only for his contributions (贡献) to classical music, but also for his sense of fun.21. When he was five, Sergei _____.A. could read musicB. experienced a famineC. created his first compositionD. wrote a story about his parents22. What does the underlined part “persisted with” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Hurried up.B. Put up with.C. Continued with.D. Walked away from.23. The piece of music Peter and the Wolf _____.A. was a great successB. was one of Sergei's early worksC. was written to teach children about the pianoD. was played three extra times when first played24. What's the text mainly about?A. The greatest 20th-century composer.B. Sergei's contributions to music.C. Musical plays in Russia.D. Sergei's musical stories.BInside Out is one of my favorite Disney / Pixar movies. The story is about a young girl named Riley who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her family and how she deals with her emotions (情感) through the move. These five emotions in Riley's brain are Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust (厌恶) and Sadness. These emotions play a very important role in her life. I can relate because I am an 11-year-old girl and I am very in touch with my emotions and pre-teen feelings.The film is extremely beautiful and you couldn't ask for better direction from Pete Doctor. The use of the right colors for the characters is great. For example, Joy is yellow, Sadness is blue, Disgust is green, Fear is purple and Anger of course is red. Sadness plays a main role in the story and it makes me wonder why we are told not tobe sad. I think it's important to be sad when the time comes. The end of the movie pretty much got me and the whole audience (观众) (families, couples and even elderly people) in tears and I cried very hard.I recommend (推荐) this movie for anyone from 8 to 18 because it has enough joy in it for younger kids to like it even though it does have some sad moments. I believe that adults will like it too. And I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it connects to an older audience even though it is designed for a younger audience. I think younger children can see this, but a parent would have to explain some things to them after the movie.25. The author feels connected with the movie because she and the character Riley_____.A. enjoy the same movieB. have the same feelingsC. have the same move experienceD. have a similar family background26. What does the author think of Pete Doctor's job?A. Bad.B. Just so-so.C. Wonderful.D. Disappointing.27. After seeing the movie, the author has a new understanding of _____.A. fearB. sadnessC. angerD. joy28. In the author's eyes, the movie _____.A. won't attract people over 18B. is really unsuitable for childrenC. will be popular among kids and adultsD. can easily be understood by younger kidsCMary bought a dress in a women's clothing store. She felt very happy about buying the dress until she got home. Then she remembered she had left her purse atthe store. It was the third time that month that Mary had forgotten something important. Mary was angry with herself. She said, “Am I losing it?”Emma was teaching a class in mathematics at a college. She began to explain to the students how to solve a very difficult problem. She understood it very well. But somehow, at that moment, she could not explain it. Emma said, “I must be losing it.”Americans seem to have a lot of concern about losing it. At least that is what you would think from hearing them talk. They use the expression when they feel they are losing control. It can mean losing emotional control. Or losing the ability to do something. Or losing intelligence.Word experts differ about how the expression started. Some believe it came from television programs popular in the 1980s. Others believe it began with psychologists, who deal with how people think, feel and act.“We Americans have many concerns about controlling our lives. Perhaps we worry too much,” one psychologist said. “In many situations, to say you are losing it eases the tension (不安). It's healthy. And most people who say they are having a problem are not losing it.”Pe ople may feel more like they are losing it when they are “down in the dumps”. Word expert Charles Funk says people have been feeling down in the dumps for more than 400 years. The word dumps probably comes from Northern European countries. The languages of Denmark and Norway both have similar words. The words mean to fall suddenly. Americans borrowed this saying. And, over the years, it has become a popular way of expressing sadness.29. What problem did Mary think she had?A. She seemed to have a poor memory.B. She lost the ability to shop wisely.C. She easily lost emotional control.D. She had quite low intelligence.30. How does the author explain the use of losing it?A. By using examples.B. By giving instructions.C. By providing research findings.D. By describing his own experiences.31. We can infer from the psychologist that _____.A. Americans worry too much about their health problemsB. people really lose it when they say they're losing itC. it's good for your health to say you're losing itD. Americans enjoy controlling their lives32.

That was always my only dream, telling my stories without anyone else interfering (干预).

Construction (建设) of the National Museum of African-American Music (NMAAM) will begin this year. NMAAM’s aim is to celebrate the more than 50 music styles that African Americans have created or influenced.“Whether you’re talking about countr y, blues, R&B, jazz, even rock and roll, the odds (可能性) are pretty high that it’s African American in its beginnings,” NMAAM president and CEO Henry Hicks says.The museum is due to open in 2019. Visitors will have many chances to explore and learn. They will be able to enjoy musical performances and learn the history behind the music. They will be able to record their own songs and try out dance moves.NMAAM is already offering programs, including a summer music camp heldat Tennessee State University, in Nashville. The most interesting part for camper Matthew Mueller, 10, was when Lucius “Spoonman” Talley played the spoons, a creative way to make music.“People started using spoons because they were something that all people had. Not everybody could afford instruments,” Matthew says.Matthew’s grandmother, Karen Mueller, is a music teacher.

必修二UNIT5单元卷本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。
第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（1-20题略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe term country music refers to a variety of styles，originally popular among working class white Americ ans in the rural areas of the South and West.Originally known as “hillbilly music”，the term was replaced by country and western music in 1949 and eventually shortened to country music.But the origins of country music go way back a century ago，to the waves of immigrants from Britain and Ireland.Their songs and dances，nursery rhymes and ballads，would form the most important part of the folk musical tradition of rural America，and the basis for what became known as “old time”music.These roots of country music lie largely in the folk songs and instrumental music of the English，Irish，and Scots who settled in the Appalachian areas of the MidSouth during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Many of these mountainous areas were not settled until the 1830s，and then by impoverished immigrants who were concerned with the daily struggle for survival.The communities were cut off from the rest of America and still attached to their traditions.Other origins of country music can be traced back to the flamenco and habanera music of Spain，the polka and other dances of Eastern Europe and—as with almost all the popular music of the United States—the influence of the slave populations shipped from the African continent.In fact one of the major instruments in Appalachian and early country music，the banjo，has its origins in AfroAmerican history.Two publishing events in the early part of the 20th century excited a widespread interest in America's white musical tradition and “old time” music.First，in 1910，the musicologist John Lomax published Co w boy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads.Then in 1916 the English song collector Cecil Sharp put together a collection of folk music from the Appalachian mountains.But it wasn't until 1922，when Texas fiddler(小提琴家) Eck Robertson cut the firs t record of “old time”music，that the popularity of what also became known as“hillbilly music”really began to grow，via pioneering artists，record labels and radio stations.The record that more generally gets cited as the first country release was made in June 1923 by Fiddlin' John Carson.21．What does the text mainly discuss?A．The history of the US folk music.B．The origins of country music.C．The influence of “old time” music.D．The waves of immigrants in the US.22．The underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“______”．A．brave B．poor C．legal D．kind23．Who made a great contribution to the spread of Appalachian music?A．Fiddlin' John Carson. B．Eck Robertson.C．Cecil Sharp. D．John Lomax.24．Country music first became widely known in the ______.A．1830s B．1840s C．1910s D．1920sBMusic for Little Mozarts is a program designed to help your little ones develop a love of music.Learning music at an early age helps develop little minds and expand their cognitive(认知的)ability.While listening to music can certainly help your youngster pick up songs，actually learning to play the piano can help your child's education development.This program focuses on little creatures that both entertain and teach.By grasping the attention of a young child's mind and engaging them with stories along with hands on experience，you can provide them with a positive experience that just may fuel a little Mozart in later years.Within this multibook and multiyear lesson plan there are ten little characters that help draw the child into the lesson plan.These little creatures actually can be used to help the child grasp basic concepts in music.The series starts out in the preschool years and provides day by day lessons that can aid the child or a classroom of children right through early adolescence(青春期)．The series is designed for both classroom and preschool use and for those at home with homeschoolers.It contains a series of books along with audio CDs，flash cards，and other visual aids that can help very young children develop an ear and an eye for music.It can be hard to hold the attention spans of children for very long.However，with the right creativity and the proper attention along with simple，easytomaster daily lessons，most children will not only grasp music rather quickly，they will also develop a love of real music，not just banging on a piano keyboard and making sounds.The short，daily lessons are planned out so that children learn to play music by ear.They learn to play real songs and master real passages quickly and easily.This element keeps them involved.They also master playing by ear and then later by reading rather quickly.25．This program is intended for children to ______.A．learn how to sing songs B．master playing the piano quicklyC．learn some basic music knowledge D．experience charm of music26．The underlined word “creatures” probably refers to ______.A．children to learn music B．the characters of the programC．cartoon animals D．education methods27．The last two paragraphs mainly tell the readers ______.A．what this program offers B．the relation between ear and musicC．it's more important to use ear than reading ability to learn musicD．this program is useful to develop children's love of music quicklyCSurfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said，“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，”Coker said on the university's website.“Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work，and as a result，increases productivity(生产效率)，”he said.According to the study of 300 workers,70 percent of the people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watchingvideos.“Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video，using social networking sites or shopping online，”said Coker.“That's not always a good idea.”However，Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation(适度)，or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.“Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without，”he said.28．What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A．People who surf the Internet are good employees.B．Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C．Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.D．The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.29．According to Paragraph 3，Brent Coker would most probably agree that______.A．the longer a person's mind rests the better attention he will haveB．surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivityC．workers should have a long break during office hoursD．workers should let their minds rest now and then30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?A．Watching videos. B．Reading online news.C．Reading online novels. D．Playing online games.31．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.B．Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.C．Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D．People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.DIn all the world's cultures，people sing，play instruments，and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music.Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math，science，and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain，increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example，reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数)．Music is also used for medical purposes，such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead，the medial prefrontal cortex，connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment，music is also great for the brain.32．Scientists are studying music because ______.A．music can be used for medical treatmentsB．music plays a very important role in our livesC．our brains can process music in different waysD．music education has received a lot of attention33．According to the Canadian study，which children increased IQ scores?A．Those who already had high IQ scores.B．Those who always played music.C．Those who could not play any instrument.D．Those who studied music for a period of time.34．Which of the following is a kind of disease?A．Spatial reasoning. B．Alzheimer's.C．The amygdale and hippocampus.D．The medial prefrontal cortex.35．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Music and health B．Music and mindC．Music and education D．Music and instruments第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work, but it was all worth it. I got blisters from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and cooperation, and then I learned about the media. Our teachers telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth-grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project. That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter toldour story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.1.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A.They were excited.B.They were surprised.C.They were worried.D.They were uninterested.2.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.3.What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph?A.We got blisters on our hands.B.Our hard work was worthwhile.C.The garden would be famous.D.The project would be finished.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first-aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding. He introduced himself, and asked some basic first-aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady's coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Brian said, "At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as possible." When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first-aid volunteer. He said, "I just thought: what's the point of having this knowledge if I'm not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I'm going to join the Red Cross."1.Before helping the old lady, Brian _______.A.had given first aid to many peopleB.was thought to be a skilled first-aid volunteerC.knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD.had learnt first-aid skills but hadn't put them into practice2.What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A.Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B.Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C.She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D.She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.The reason why Brian was asked to help.B.Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C.How Brian gave first aid to the old lady.D.How the old lady reacted to Brian's performance.4.After using his first aid skills twice, Brian _______.A.was discouraged and decided to give upB.realized he still had a lot of things to learnC.decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD.decided to help more people with his first-aid skillsCA ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence(坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.That's when the young boy noticed an open garage(车库) and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids at his age, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth in Danny's hunch(直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old woman had fallen down on some ice in front of her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.Dawn called 911 at once. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny for following his hunch!1.When seeing a figure in front of an open garage, Danny _____.A.recognized it was an old womanB.thought it was a homeless dogC.realized something was wrongD.believed it was nothing important2.When Dawn got closer to the garage, she _____.A.noticed the dog had gone awayB.knew Danny's hunch was wrongC.found an old lady waving for helpD.felt something must have been stolen3.Which of the following can best describe Danny?A.Brave and patient.B.Friendly and honest.C.Considerate and positive.D.Persistent and warm-hearted.4.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Always Follow Your HunchB.Be Ready to Help Save the ElderlyC.An Unknown Hero Brings Love and HopeD.A 10-year-old Boy Saved His Elderly Neighbor's LifeDHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions—serious injuries caused by a blow to the head."By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk, said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨).
