B

Before I spoke to his school, Matt was waiting for me. He sat in his wheelchair barely able to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.

One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart, he just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents’ love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary—at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur (含糊地发音) in her speech indicating a slight head-injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.

Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne’s father, “you know you will not understand the book. You can’t read well enough. You aren’t smart enough.” He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair. He pried the book from her and brought it back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response. I thought back to Matt. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne on the other hand had a slight learning problem and may never know happiness of success because of a stern(苛刻的)father.

What kind of parent are you? The truth is that whatever you are telling your kids—makes the difference between their success or failure in life.

24. What is Matt’s problem?

A. He is blind. B. He isn’t smart enough.

C. He suffers a muscles’ disease. D. He can’t speak and read.

25. Compared with Anne, Matt is lucky because _______________________.

A. his parents are rich

B. his parents love and encourage him

C. his disability is not serious

D. the author feels sympathy for him

26. Hearing her father’s words, Anne felt _________.

A. light-hearted B. doubtful C. cautious D. heart-broken

27. What does the author probably do?

A. A writer B. A teacher C. A doctor D. A lawyer

C

This will make you think twice about dismissing the physical abilities of women.

Serena Williams

If know Serena Williams, then you know better than to harbor any illusions that you can take on the top female tennis player even on your best day. Nicknamed by the media as the 'Queen of the Court,' she has won 19 Grand Slam singles titles and 13 Grand Slam doubles titles as of May 2015. By the way, she can send the ball hurtling towards your face on the excess of 120 miles per hour on her serve.

Ronda 'Rowdy' Rousey

Former Olympic judo(柔道) gold medalist Ronda 'Rowdy' Rousey has been dominating women's MMA for the past several years. She earned the nickname 'The Arm Collector' for winning the majority of her fights via armbars. As of May 2015, no other female MMA has put up much of a challenge against Rousey, but some think that the next entry on this list just might give her trouble.

Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino

Many believe that Cris Cyborg will give Rousey trouble and may even have an outside chance of beating her. While Rousey is an excellent grappler owing to her judo background, Cyborg is a more well-rounded fighter with excellent standup and groundwork skills. This means that just like Rousey, Cyborg can lay some serious beatdown on you.

Missy Franklin

So you think you are a good swimmer. Well, no matter how good you think you are, you'll very likely still be eating Missy Franklin's pool dust. Missy is a four-time Olympic gold medalist and has also won a bunch of gold medals in the World Championships.

Mirinda Carfae

Do you think you can swim 2.4 miles, ride a bike for 115 miles, and still have enough gas to run for 26 miles? Mirinda Carfae certainly can and she proved that she can do it faster than any woman winning the Ironman World Championships women's division in 2010, 2013, and 2014.

28. As of May 2015, ___________.

A. Serena Williams was named as the top female tennis players

B. Serena Williams has won 19 Grand Slam singles titles

C. Rousey challenged no other female MMA

D. Missy Franklin won her fourth Olympic gold medal

29. Rousey earned the nickname “The Arm Collector” because _______.

A. She has been dominating women’s MMA for the past few years

B. She defeated most of the fighters with her armbars

C. She can collect the strength of the other fighters with her armbars

D. She has trouble in fighting without her armbars

30. By asking the question in the last paragraph, the author wants to express ________.

A. Mirinda Carfae won the Ironman World Championships

B. you don’t have enough energy to run for 26 miles

C. Mirinda
