Kieron Williamson, a seven-year-old British boy, is being recognized as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18, 000 pounds in just 14 minutes. This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons to Pablo Picasso, a child prodigy(神童)who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century.
It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five. Inspired by the view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad (速写纸). From that moment on, he became deeply interested. While supportive, Kieron’s parents are careful not to push their son. He only paints when and what he wants.
He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. His father said a sale of Kieron’s works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan. “We had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o’clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said.
All this talent, money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy’s head, but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . Umn, ‘you are not too special’, ” he said.
Kieron’s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero. The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25. Kieron’s parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don’t see him as anything other than a normal seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who’s mad about football.

Head held high, hands firmly gripping her walker, Mary Arnott, 99, walks slowly with dignity through the women’s changing room at the Etobicoke Olympium pool, past the teenage girls who have been blow-drying their hair for half an hour, into the mist of the showers, then out the door and first one into the heated pool. She jumps over to the shallow end, stopping to talk to friends—everyone knows Arnott here;she swims twice a week and treats it as a job—about their children, the viciousness(谬误)of bridge and their health.
In fact, Arnott is an exception to the exception. Not only has she lived 20 years past the average lifespan for Canadians, she’s healthy, her mind is sharp and she lives independently.
Born in Brooklyn on May 28, 1909, Arnott was raised on Staten Island. She survived scarlet fever(猩红热), helped bring up four siblings(兄弟姐妹)after her mother died in 1923 and worked as a secretary in New York City for 12 years, earning$35 a week and a$150 bonus at Christmas.
Now she’s happy living in a one-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom in her daughter’s house. She wears a hearing aid, does the cryptic crossword(有隐义的纵横字谜)with a magnifying glass, and can’t really explain why she has lived so well so long.
Until recently, she has still liked to drink red wine—she used to drink two glasses before supper each day. It’s more likely genes, she admits. Her interest in other people and life in general may have had something to do with it. Asked if a star photographer can take her picture at the pool, Arnott seems cheerful.
“I look good in a swimsuit, ” she says, nodding her head firmly. “I look better in a swimsuit than I do in pants. ”
31. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Mary Arnott likes to swim and is known to the local people.
B. Mary Arnott is afraid to swim at the swimming pool.
C. Mary Arnott can’t swim but she likes water.
D. Mary Arnott just likes to talk to her friends at the bank of the swimming pool.
32. Which of the following is TRUE as for Mary Arnott as an exception to the exception
A. She has lived 30 years past the average lifespan for Canadians.
B. She’s healthy and her mind is sharp.
C. She lives with her daughter.
D. She likes to live with her children and has a happy life.
33. What happened when Mary Arnott was 14
A. She had a disease called scarlet fever but survived.
B. Her mother died and she had to help her father to bring up her sisters and brothers.
C. She found a job as a secretary in New York City.
D. She was born in Brooklyn.
34. What may Mary Arnott think of her living alone

A migraine(偏头痛)can cause disabling pain. People may not feel back to normal for hours or even days. Migraines are most common among young adults and middle-aged people. In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines.
People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers(诱因)”in different people may get a headache started. Stress can act as a trigger. So can chocolate in some people. Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(大气压)can act as triggers. But researchers say they do not have much scientific evidence of that — until now.
In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache. More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.
The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits. For every increase of five degrees centigrade in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine. Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to trigger headaches.
The researchers found no evidence that air pollution influenced headaches. But they could not rule out the possibility of a smaller effect.
A separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine. It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk. On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines.
The study involved twenty-two thousand people. It was led by Lee Peterlin. She says early results suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.
41. From the first paragraph, we can infer a migraine can ________.
A. make people unable to walk
B. prevent people acting normally
C. cause people to leave home for days
D. get people to suffer from mental disorder
42. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. chocolate acting as a trigger
B. stress acting as a trigger
C. hot weather and low barometric pressure acting as triggers
D. high air pressure acting as a trigger
43. According to the passage, headaches are influenced least by ________.
A. body weight B. barometric pressure
C. air temperature D. air pollution
44. In the opinion of Lee Peterlin, a person who has a migraine should ________.
A. avoid gathering fat in the stomach area
B. eat more sweet food every day
C. stay warm in good weather
D. keep away from noisy places
45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Overweight people may have a lower risk of migraines.
B. Weather is linked to migraines.
C. Migraines are a headache for many people.
D. Women suffer more migraines than men do.

The teenage years are an especially stressful period, and the life of a teenager can be filled with a lot of stress due to various reasons.
As a teenager, I am experiencing different kinds of stress, such as the pressure from tests and classmates. But my biggest stress comes from the high expectation of my parents for me. I am their only child so they put all their hope on me, which makes my life stressful. Once I was not in the top five, and they were very disappointed and blamed me. Under such pressure, I did worse than before.
I told my best friend about how stressed I felt, who suggested that I should talk with them about it. I followed his advice and my parents now don’t blame me any longer but encourage me. Although their expectation for me is still my biggest stress, it has become my motivation as well.
As a result, if you are suffering from stress, please seek advice and support from others, and then you will move ahead in life.
