Johnny Agar had always dreamed of competing in triathlons (铁人三项赛) as an athlete. Unfortunately, he’d been diagnosed with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪) shortly after he was born. This disorder makes it difficult for the now-28-year-old to get around. However, he and his father are proving that where there’s a will — and a lot of love — there’s a way!
Jeff Agar, 59, is helping Johnny experience life to the fullest by entering triathlons by his side. As a team, they’ve completed over 200 races, including a full ironman triathlon that required them to swim, bike and run 140 miles in just 17 hours.
“I’m not a fan of triathlon,” Jeff joked. “I’m doing it not because I love it. This is Johnny’s dream and I’m giving him the legs and the power to do it.” Although Jeff typically provides the majority of the manpower, it was important for Johnny to cross the finish line on his own legs. “Walking in races was my way of telling Dad, ‘Okay, I’m not just going to say thank-you anymore; I’m going to actually put words into action,’” Johnny said.
Johnny and his dad now form Team Agar, using their story and the power of motivational speaking to inspire others. “When we completed that 140-mile Ironman together, it had an amazing impact on many people who had seen our story. We began to see that competing isn’t just about us crossing the finish line; it’s about helping others leave uncertainty in the dust — even those facing greater obstacles than we did.”
Earlier this month, they received some incredible news. They were invited to compete in one of the toughest triathlons: the Ironman World Championship! What made the occasion even more special was a pre-recorded video message from Johnny’s idol, athlete Peyton Manning. “Rumor has it that you’re a big fan of mine,” Peyton said, “I’m a big fan of yours as well! You guys are incredible; you’re a true inspiration.”
24. What can we learn about Jeff from the text
A. He has a great passion for triathlons.
B. He is upset about Johnny’s severe illness.
C. He goes all out to help his son achieve his ambition.
D. He crosses the finish line with his son in competitions.
25. Why did Jeff and Johnny set up Team Agar
A. To give motivation to other people.
B. To encourage more people to join them.
C. To make themselves more competitive.
D. To participate in more competitions as a team.
26. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Peyton will record more videos of Johnny and Jeff.
B. Jeff and Johnny have influenced people positively.
C. Johnny and Jeff have been getting along well with Peyton.
D. Peyton has provided Johnny with material assistance.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text

C. Dad Helps Son With Cerebral Palsy Achieve His Dream
D. Great Achievements Made by Dad and Son in Sports

Famous Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping and his research team’s experiment of planting saltwater-tolerant (耐盐碱) rice in desert areas of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates proved to be a success, with one type of rice producing more than 7.5 tons per hectare (公顷), Xinhua reported.
Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in tidal lands or other areas with heavy salt content. It was the world’s first successful case of planting rice in a tropical desert area, standing as China’s contribution to improving the ability of people in desert areas to be self-sufficient in main foods. In January, the center chose dozens of types of hybrid rice and planted them on small places of desert areas near Dubai. After five months of growth, the center invited experts from India, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and other countries for evaluation, and found three types of rice producing more than 6 tons per hectare. In June, a second evaluation will be carried out for middle-season rice.
The technology of saltwater-tolerant rice plays a key role in the success as the natural environment of the Dubai desert is terrible for rice growth. The daytime temperatures could be as high as over 50℃, and nighttime temperatures could drop by 30℃. Humidity stays below 20 percent and there are sandstorms from time to time. The biggest challenge is the desert soil, which is low in organic matter and unable to keep soil water as it is totally sand. To make it worse, sea water remains just 7.5 meters below the soil, which makes it easy to be full of salt.
With this success, the center and the private investment office of the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai plan to set up a 100-hectare experimental farmland in Dubai, to test the production costs and farming techniques of the saltwater-tolerant rice and prepare for promotion. The two parties will construct a 100-hectare standard farmland in 2019 and speed up rice planting in 2020.
28. Which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 2
A. Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in areas with rich soil.
B. Dubai is the most successful country in planting saltwater-tolerant rice.
C. Chinese team play a great role in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in desert areas.
D. Planting saltwater-tolerant rice can be easily achieved in many tropical desert areas.
29. What’s the most difficult thing for rice growth in Dubai desert
A. Its soil is short of organic matter and hard to keep soil water.
B. It’s just 6.5 meters above the sea water and easy to be full of salt.
C. It is extremely expensive to conduct experiments in tropical desert areas.
D. Its daytime temperature could be up to 50℃ and humidity stays below 20%.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. There will be no starvation all over the world in 2020.
B. No more experimental farmland will be set up in Dubai.
C. In 2020 the production of saltwater-tolerant rice will be twice of that in 2019.
D. More efforts will be put into improve the saltwater-tolerant rice planting.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Chinese team help expand the farming of saltwater-tolerant rice.
B. The rice experiment is of great importance for the tropical desert-areas.
C. Chinese team succeeds in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in Dubai’s desert.
D. The United Arab Emirates tries to improve the desert ecological environment.
D
Suppose you are out shopping and come across an old friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on. You want to seem interested, so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”. To your surprise, though, this person angrily stops and says, “Sorry if I’m boring you!”
Where did this come from Clearly, your body language must have let out your inner feelings. The idea that verbal (口头) and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University’s Lueylle Armentano.
To test the role of verbal-nonverbal mismatch on emotional communication, Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers. The research team created videotapes of a fellow Yale student expressing nervousness in his words, bodily gestures, or both. The bodily gestures included running his hands through his hair, grabbing his arm, and facially expressing uneasiness. The key question was whether the other participants, another 82 Yale students, would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting. They needed to give their responses.
Turning to the findings, those nonverbal cues (提示) of nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues. Surprisingly, helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.
Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you’re interacting with others. Generally, when someone is speaking to you, you want to look like you’re interested. Not only should you maintain eye contact, but you should keep your body still and face toward the other person.
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 1
A. The obvious advantages of body language.
B. The proper way to interact with old friends.
C A situation where body language is necessary.
D. An example of the conflict of verbal and nonverbal messages.
33. What was the task of the 82 Yale students
A. Try to win the nervous student’s trust.
B. Identify the types of body language.
C. Respond to the nervous student’s request.
D. Express nervousness in their words.
34. What would probably win kindness from strangers
A. Positive attitude to nervousness. B. Good manners in front of others.
C. Sincere verbal expressions. D. Nonverbal cues of nervousness
35. What is the purpose of the writer in the last paragraph
A. Give some warnings. B. Present some facts.
C. Offer suggestions. D. Make a prediction

Choosing the Right Path to Be a “Better” Person
Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement. In the rush to achieve, the idea of being “better” can become lost sometimes. You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way. 36
Explore your talents.
Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests. So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you.
37 For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be. Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’ll enjoy.
38
No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate. It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.
If you’re particularly unhappy at your job, consider why. 39 If you feel your job isn’t meaningful, or isn’t in line with your values, consider finding another job.
Experience something new.
Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone, we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it. 40 Because of that ,we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others, even when those are little scary. Doing so can help you achieve more.
A. Do what you love.
B. Here are some tips for you.
C. Register in a class you’re interested in.
D. Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.
E. It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling.
F. Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.
G. Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.
