A

From time to time I travel to town from my new country home. On this particular Saturday, it was Adam’s turn to accompany me on the forty-five-minute drive---- a coveted(渴望的) pleasure.

Adam has a deep fondness of candy. If he knew there was a candy treat on the other side of a mountain， he would move the entire mountain, stone by stone, to get the treat.

When we arrived, we walked toward the store. But I found Adam had fallen silent — his stare falling on something further down the street.

There an old man sat by the store entrance, begging. His gray sweater had many holes exposing a dirty T-shirt. He sat with his back to the wall, his hands cupped around an empty hat.

“Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar and handed it to Adam and thought he would use it to buy his candy. “Thank you, daddy.” He went away and I went on to choose something we needed. After a while we left the store and walked a few feet to the corner. While waiting for the light, I felt Adam gently slip his hand from mine. I turned watching him as he walked back to the beggar giving his dollar.

When he came back, I hugged Adam saying, “Daddy is very proud of you, Adam. That was very thoughtful.”

“It certainly was,” confirmed(证实) a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man’s hat. “May I?” she asked as she leaned over to kiss Adam’s cheek. I nodded and smiled—Adam smiled.

“Look, daddy.” Adam was looking over my shoulder to the beggar. A small group of people had gathered around him placing money in his hat. I couldn’t help but recall a thought: A child shall lead them.

16. Why did Adam become silent when walking to the store?

A. Because he felt tired after the drive.

B. Because he noticed a beggar sitting by the store.

C. Because the beggar asked money from him.

D. Because he saw an old man sat before the store entrance.

17. What made the writer feel proud of his son?

A. Adam dared to walk alone on the busy road.

B. Adam was able to buy something for himself.

C. Adam shared his sweet with poor beggar.

D. Adam gave his money to the poor beggar.

18. What did the woman want to do by asking “May I?”

A. She wanted to show her praise by kissing Adam.

B. She asked if she could give the beggar some money.

C. She intended to give five dollars to Adam in return.

D. She hoped to kiss the writer for his act of kindness.

19. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that ____________.

A. a child is often the first to love others.

B. a child can take the lead in loving others.

C. a child usually needs others to lead him.

D. a child sometimes should be led to do things.

Flying like a bird has been the dream of humans since ancient times. Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and challenged gravity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

“Yes, you can buy a ticket and fly to another city. But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different,” Dong Fang, said in an excited voice. He is one of 41 students from Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground. Inspired by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the UK, Ni Wangyue, a teacher in high school is holding a similar event. The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971 in the England coastal city Bognor. People ran off the end of a pier (码头) with their own aircraft in an attempt to “fly” the farthest distance.

“From the very beginning , I didn’t expect my students to create a real plane or break any records. I told them the competition is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,” Said Ni. He was surprised to see his students create 10 different aircrafts with all kinds of material available in the past month. Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their planes than in ordinary classes.

Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane “Weiming E”, which means an unknown goose. The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly.

“Our work is much more imaginative than others. With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings, it surely is the most eye-catching work, if not the best,” said Yu Liang, another student.

“Although most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying, the boys’ braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future,” Ni said.

20.The purpose of the competition is to ___________.

A. prepare to create more real planes.

B. let students break some records.

C. run off the end of a pier.

D. encourage braveness and creativity.

21. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There were 41 students taking part in the competition.

B. A similar kind of competition started in 1971.

C. The teacher didn’t expect his students could create 10 different aircrafts.

D. Most of those home-made aircrafts could take the boys flying.

22. By saying “you can buy a ticket and fly to another city”, the writer actually means ___________.

A. if you want to take part in the competition you have to buy a ticket.

B. people who take part in the competition have to fly to another city.

C. people can pay to get a chance to go to another place by air.

D. the students have to fly to another city in their home-made aircrafts.

23. Why did the teacher organize this activity?

A. He wanted to develop students’ imagination.

B. He wanted his students to have the feeling of flying.

C. He wanted his students to break records.

D. He wanted to increase his students’ grades.

C

Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners．

One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week．The runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步机）．Sometimes they wore running shoes．Other times they ran barefoot．

Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot．They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels．

The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya．The researchers divided the runners into three groups．One group had always run shoeless．Another group had always run with shoes．And the third group had changed to shoeless running．

Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first．That puts great force on the back of the foot．But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot．That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels．

Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels．The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down first．Also，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings．

But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot．They say it takes some training．And there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured．

24. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.

B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.

C. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.

D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.

25. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that__________.

A. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes.

B. the landing point is very important in running.

C. running shoeless can give people a real
