• 2．I work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking；survival is never certain.However，when it works，it is simply beautiful.
     I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl（貓頭鷹） on the ground.When I arrived，I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
     I examined the chick（雛鳥）and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
     The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down.
     Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults；they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
     A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all - LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
  
  （1）What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1？

  
  A．Efforts made in vain.
  B．Getting injured in his work.
  C．Feeling uncertain about his future.
  D．Creatures forced out of their homes.
  （2）Why was the author called to Muttontown？

  
  A．To rescue a woman.
  B．To take care of a woman.
  C．To look at a baby owl.
  D．To cure a young owl.
  （3）What made the chick calm down？

  
  A．A new nest.
  B．Some food.
  C．A recording.
  D．Its parents.
  （4）How would the author feel about the outcome of the event？

  
  A．It's unexpected.

• 3．You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place． "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering． " They" are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as " they" are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（內(nèi)化） your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
     Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don't let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don't blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的） moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
     Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺） in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
     In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have a fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．
  
  （1）What does the word "they" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？

  
  A．People and things around you．
  B．Opportunities and problems．
  C．Creators and their choices．
  D．Victims and their sufferings．
  （2）According to Paragraph 2，creators

  ．
  A．seem willing to experience failures in life
  B．possess the ability to predict future life
  C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
  D．have potential to create something new
  （3）The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that

  ．
  A．strong attachment to （沉浸在） sufferings in life pulls people into victims
  B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life
  C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains
  D．one's experiences determine his attitude toward life
  （4）What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？

  
  A．To define victims and creators．
  B．To evaluate victims against creators．
  C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
  D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

• 4．A new study has found that a child's reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text.The research，led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University（ARU），examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays（顏色標(biāo)注）among children.
     Two groups of children，dyslexic（有閱讀障礙的）and non-dyslexic children，were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing，both with and without a coloured overlay.They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded.The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made —specifically missed words，added words，wrong words，and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.
     The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups.On average，the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed，while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase.In addition to improving reading speed，it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia.However，the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
     Dr Stagg，Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU，said："We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the 'crowding effect'，which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed."
     "Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials."Dr Stagg added."While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit，we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading.Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds，but they may extend reading stamina（持久力）.Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage."
  
  （1）Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Illustrate，group and report.
  B．Read，instruct and measure.
  C．Question，assume and prove.
  D．Categorize，record and count.
  （2）What can we learn about increased letter spacing from paragraph 3？

  
  A．It reduces reading errors.
  B．It sharpens reading skills.
  C．It arouses reading interest.
  D．It enhances reading comprehension.
  （3）What does the underlined word"hamper"in paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Obtain.
  B．Prevent.
  C．Change.
  D．Involve.
  （4）What can be inferred about coloured overlays from paragraph 5？

  
  A．They might not have been evaluated fairly.
  B．They might not be recommended by experts.
  C．They might work better in short reading.
  D．They might have some disadvantages.

• 5．Technology is here to stay. （1）

  However，they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time.Here are some tips.
  Have a device contract.
     Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware.
     （2）

  Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for restriction.
  （3）

  
     Although this tip seems like common sense，it is often difficult due to the demand of work and the expectation of being constantly connected.By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children，they will see the value and benefits.Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk，letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!
  Encourage non-tech activities.
     One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. （4）

  These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
  Tech-free family time.
     Once a week，pencil-in a"tech-free family time" in your schedule.It can be a meal or trip.
     To help increase the success of outings，try designing special activities，i.e.，going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. （5）

  
  A.Model good technology use.
  B.Communicate with children.
  C.A little extra planning goes a long way.
  D.The contract is helpful to the settlement of conflicts.
  E.Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs.
