When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed.
All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels
With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.
I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.
I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!
My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.
24. What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day
A. Have their bikes checked. B. Ride outside for fun.
C. Acquire bike safety skills. D. Remove the training wheels.
25. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The author's friends. B. The author's parents. C. The safety problems. D. The training wheels.
26. What happened when the author finally rode without the training wheels
A. She felt extremely embarrassed. B. Everything turned out to be easy.
C. She ended up flat on the ground. D. Her sisters followed her example.
27. What does the author think is necessary for her to achieve a goal
A. Pressure. B. Patience. C. Determination. D. Concentration.

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined or added the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers —17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains,” Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
28. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them
A. They fed them. B. They named them. C. They trained them. D. They measured them.
29. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment
A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen. C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.
30. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys
A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.
D
Empathy(同理心) is on c of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy ——Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents re late to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
32. Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy
A. Because people tend to center themselves. B. Because everyone lacks empathy.
C. Because empathy is a strange quality. D. Because it's better to give than to receive.
33. Which situation can empathy be used in
A. When a dancer is dancing to music.
B. When a criminal is cheating a victim.
C. When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.
D. When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.
34. What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup” mean
A. Adults should set an example to kids.
B. An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.
C. It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.
D. Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How to train kids to have empathy. B. How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.
C. How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks. D. Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.

The negative thoughts inside your head can hold you back from making new friends, connecting with colleagues or sharing your brilliant ideas in meetings. For some people, these negative thoughts become too powerful and require professional attention. 36 The following are some tips to quiet your inner critic.
Label the voice.
The voice does not define you. Just identify it as an independent entity(实体) and give it a name. Call it your unreliable speaker, your negative Nelly or your passive Bob. 37
38
Negative thinking can do a lot on your central nervous system, causing you to react physically. 39 Whatever your response——shaky hands, trembling voice, sweaty brow—a slow breathing in and a slower breathing out will help comfort the central nervous system.
Trust that the thought will pass.
It's just a thought, and is just not that important—it's irrational after all! 40 You don't realize you're empowering those thoughts, getting into a tug of war with them. You can choose to accept its presence in the moment and trust that it will pass.
All in all, don't let that voice in your head tell you what to do.
A. Don't waste energy fighting it.
B. Calm your central nervous system.
C. Slow your breathing to calm your thoughts.
D. For others, these negative thoughts will pass very soon.
E. Naming the voice almost turns it into someone else talking.
F. Have you ever started getting negative thoughts and suddenly felt physically bad too
G. For the majority, simple ways can stop them discouraging you from connecting with others.
