Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he’s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.

The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it’s not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he’s just like other normal ones.

When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses（假肢）to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.

At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn’t beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches（手杖）and from there a new burst of energy was found.

Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer program to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community.

“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he’s been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to game,” his father said. “I just think it’s a great result.”

21．This passage shows us a boy with one leg __________.

A．can do what a normal teenager can

B．is realizing as many dreams as he can



C．can make a sport event more valuable

D．can add value to society



22．We can learn from Paragraph 5 that __________.

A． Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team

B．it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town soccer team

C．Calabria’s parents didn’t allow him to play soccer at first

D．there are some other disabled children in the soccer team

23．In Paragraph 5, the underlined part probably means __________.

A．a must-see

B．a planned programme



C．an extra game

D．a special occasion



24．It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai’s father __________.

A．has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccer

B．thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the team

C．is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the team

D．hasn’t expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccer

B

Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.

The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.

After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim（微弱）red light, they did not.”

Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive（感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.

He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

25．Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.

A．they are similar to humans in dealing with colors

B．they are easy to observe and study

C．they are sensitive to colors like human beings

D．they are active at night and sleep during the day

26．What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?

A．They drink less sugary water.

B．They don’t sleep well.



C．Their eyesight becomes worse.

D．Their energy level becomes low.



27．__________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.

A．Dim light

B．Red light



C．Blue light

D．Darkness



28．What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?

A．Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.

B．Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.

C．Living or working in low levels of light overnight.

D．Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.

C

Welcome to the world of multitasking — a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed, multitasking is a disastrous idea.

One of the opponents of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they’re worse at managing their memory.” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world: but you can’t do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an important problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.

And as for Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term ch
