The moment that Jiang Mengnan received the award(奖)of Person Touching China for 2021, she said she most wanted to express her thanks to her parents.
Born in 1992, Jiang's world has been silent since she was 6 months old, when medicine seriously harmed her hearing. She couldn’t hear anything, which also made it hard for her to start speaking. So when she was a child her parents began teaching her to read lips (嘴唇). They also taught her vocalization (发声) by putting her hands on their throats.It was slow and hard. but her parents never gave up. Jiang learned to speak finally.
However, it was not easy for her to “listen”to teachers in class like other students. When she was old enough,Jiang studied in a common primary school, not a special school. She said it was arduous at first. During lessons, teachers would often write on the blackboard with their back to the students. Jiang had to copy down everything on the blackboard and study alone after class to keep up with her classmates.
n 2011,she entered Jilin University. Jiang said that the reason why she chose Jilin University was that her role model Zhang Haidi, an excellent woman with a disability, studied and graduated from the university. In 2018, she was accepted as a PhD at Tsinghua University’s School of Life Sciences.
“I always thank my parents, teachers and friends. They never give me special attention for my imperfection, which means I've never seen myself as different from anyone else, she said.

As an adult, I like nothing better than to sit on the beach reading. Give me a favorable “beach read" and it will make me happy for several days. However, I'm sorry to say the truth that it isn’t really a lovely thing for most kids. Most kids would rather play in the waves or play with sand than read.
But the truth is that even when kids are on vacation, they need the same kind of relax and read time that we adults look forward to. So you can just get them to sit for 5 or 10 minutes to relax and get happiness from reading
Some books may be a little bit heavy. Some can get wet or be filled with sand and then they are destroyed(破坏) Stories in some books may be long. Maybe your child can only read for 10 minutes. And if your kids are people like me they may hate to close a book in the middle of the story.
Do you know what I'm going to say right The magazine is a good choice. It can be thrown away if it gets
wet. Some magazines like “Cricket” “Spider”and
“Ladybug”will allow your child to read wonderful stories paired with beautiful pictures. Some magazines like“Click”“Dig”,and“Faces" show articles on all kinds of topics(话题)that will please(使高兴) and interest your nonfiction lover.And some short stories in magazines are just good for beach reading.
So don't leave the beach read behind when you prepare for the beach bag. Put a magazine or two in your bag, and when your child needs to rest for a few minutes, pull the magazine out and get them to sit for 10 minutes or so.
52. According to the writer, .
A. reading is the best way for children to get relaxed
B. children should play in the waves with parents
C. swimming in the sea is dangerous for children
D. most children don't want to read books on the beach

A. Avoid making reading a heavy job for kids.
B. Not all the books are proper for beach reading
C. It's a bad habit to close a book in the middle of the story.
D. It's a pity to throw away the wet books on holiday.

A.“Click”. B. “Faces”. C.“Cricket”. D. “Dig”.
55. The writer writes this passage to .
A. list all the books he read when he was a child
B. show the importance of developing reading as habit
C. introduce a new experience to readers when the are on holiday
D.advise us to make the “beach read” a fun thing for kids

Last weekend, I decided to visit my aunt. When I got to the train station, I realized that I had left my mobile phone at home. It was not a good start, was it
Then I checked the timetable and found I had made a big mistake. I thought my train had already been away. I didn’t know what to do.
A policeman asked me what had happened. I told him I missed my train. Surprisingly, he told me the train hadn’t left because it was broken. Finally I got on the train on time!
