Jonathan Cranwell sat on hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. Jonathan had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher was from Harvard College. Jonathan’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire Jonathan. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
Jonathan watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next ” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
Jonathan and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster ” asked Jonathan’s father that evening, when Jonathan announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” Jonathan admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked Jonathan’s father.
“I believe he has,” said Jonathan. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
41. What does the underlined word “drone” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Boring sounds. B. Clear talks. C. Enthusiastic responses. D. Loud noises.
42. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children
A. “Go outside and look at the sky,…” B. “See if you can describe their shells.”
C. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,…” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…”
43. The students’ laughter in Paragraph 4 suggests that they were ________.
A. silly B. confused C. delighted D. easygoing
44. According to Paragraph 9, we can learn that ________.
A. Mr. Cranwell had met the new schoolmaster B. Jonathan had previously complained about school
C. Mr. Cranwell was not satisfied with the new ways D. Jonathan had shown his father his homework
45. What is the main idea of this story
A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education.
C. Homework is an important part of education. D. There is more than one way to learn.
【答案】41. A 42. C 43. C 44. B 45. D

Researchers surveyed 1,700 British pupils aged 8 to 13 about their feelings towards the subject. They found 10% of children suffered from maths anxiety. Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.
“The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.” The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.
Dr. Denes Szucs, a professor at Cambridge’s Centre for Neuroscience (神经科学) in Education said that there is a misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from maths anxiety. “This is a common misunderstanding that we have seen in decision makers,” he said. “They assume people are anxious about maths because they are poor achievers.” In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers. Dr Szucs went on, “Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited. This is a real danger here: these are children who are completely able to do maths at a normal level, but may keep away from it because they feel anxious.” The research also found that girls have higher levels of maths anxiety than boys.
John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.”
46. What can we learn from the survey conducted by the Cambridge University researchers
A. High performing children are safe from maths anxiety.
B. Adults suffer lower levels of maths anxiety than children.
C. Children with maths anxiety suffers both physically and mentally.
D. Girls’ bad performance leads to their high levels of maths anxiety.
47. Why did the researchers study students’ attitudes towards maths
A. They want to help improve students’ academic performance.
B. Maths anxiety may cause great damage to children’s development.
C. They intend to correct people’s misunderstanding on maths anxiety.
D. The maths anxiety shared by people of all ages caused a national crisis.
48. How does the author prove there may be a national maths crisis in the UK in paragraph 3

【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.”（数学引起的其他感觉包括恐惧和愤怒，而身体症状包括心跳加速或呼吸困难）可知，从剑桥大学研究人员的调查中，我们可以得知患有数学焦虑症的儿童在生理和心理上都会受到影响。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句““The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.””（“该项目研究了学生对数学的态度，因为英国的数学危机，”研究人员说。“许多儿童和成人在面对数学时会感到焦虑、恐惧或不适。这可能会导致该国数学水平低下。”）可知，研究人员研究学生对数学的态度是因为各个年龄段的人都对数学感到焦虑，这引发了一场国家危机。故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.”（调查显示，拥有相当于英国普通中等教育证书C级实用数学技能的成年人人数从2003年的26%下降到2011年的22%。与此同时，只有57%的儿童在实用数学技能方面达到了相同的水平）可知，第三段中，作者通过展示“26%”、“22%”和“57%”等相关数据来证明英国可能存在全国性的数学危机。故选A项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers.”（事实上，77%以上的数学焦虑程度高的儿童属于正常的高成就儿童）和“Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited.”（也许因为他们的表现很好，他们的数学焦虑会被忽视。但他们非常担心，从长远来看，他们的表现是有限的）可知，在第四段中，Denes Szucs博士发现一些成绩优异的学生也患有数学焦虑症。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.””（纳菲尔德基金会教育主管约翰·希尔曼表示：“数学成绩很有价值，它是许多其他学科的基础，也是未来学术学习、求职甚至健康的重要预测因素。数学焦虑会严重影响中小学学生的表现。”）可知，最后一段介绍了数学学习的重要性及数学焦虑会造成的不良影响，由此可知，接下来的段落可能会回答怎样才能让孩子们对学习数学感到愉快放松的问题。故选B项。
D
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too that’s why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance French philosopher Voltaire (1694 — 1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.”
Nobody’s perfect. When we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity (永恒); write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
51. What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”
A. To arouse peoples awareness of tolerance among people.
B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.
C. To solve the problem of global community.
D. To change people’s opinions towards globalization.
52. According to Voltaire, tolerance is ________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
53. Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article
A. They are used to finding faults.
B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.
C. They don’t see things from the angle of others.
D. They are intolerant of themselves too.
54. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”
A. Humans are advised to treat others better. B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others. D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
55. What’s the text mainly about
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.
【答案】51. A 52. D 53. C 54. C 55. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了联合国将11月16日定为“国际宽容日”，其目的是为了唤起人们对宽容的意识，此外文章着重介绍了宽容的意义和重要性。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too that’s why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.( Marle明白，世界上存在这么多问题的部分原因是人与人之间缺乏宽容。联合国也理解这一点，这就是为什么它把11月16日定为“国际宽容日”。)”可知，联合国知道世界上存在这么多问题的部分原因在于人与人之间缺乏宽容，所以为了唤起人们的宽容意识，联合国决定把每年11月16日定为“国际宽容日”，故选A。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly- -that is the first law of nature.”(在他看来，宽容是人性的结果。我们都是由脆弱和错误组成的；让我们彼此原谅的愚蠢——这是自然的第一法则。”)”可知，伏尔泰认为宽容是接受对方的弱点，故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance...But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.(很多时候，人们并没有意识到他们是不宽容的。这是因为不宽容与无知有很大的关系......但通常，男人对女人的行为是不能容忍的，因为男人没有把自己放在女人的位置上。) ”可知，人们通常没有意识到自己的不宽容，这是因为人们没有从别人的角度看待事情，故选C。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.(这有点像慷慨。我们可以给别人东西，我们也可以给予我们的宽恕。)”可知，宽容类似于慷慨，这是因为对别人宽容，意味着我们给予别人宽容，这就像对别人慷慨一样，我们需要给别人一些东西，故选C。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。第七段“Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.(尽管如此，伏尔泰的话仍然站得住脚：我们人类并不完美，这个弱点是我们共有的。这就是我们应该宽容的原因。)”可知，文章主要介绍了宽容的意义和重要性，故选B。

四、阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
“Mom, I don’t like you; you’re not pretty now,” my five - year - old son said to me one day, Being a mother of two kids under three has certainly kept me busy. In prioritizing my family’s needs, my own needs are always postponed.
By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape. I let myself daydream.
With each passing day, I lose myself just a little bit more. Long ago, I waved goodbye to the fun - loving person I once was and saw the dull version of my new self.
But something changed on the day my son told me I wasn’t pretty. That night, in the mirror I noticed the light had gone out of my eyes. My kids had magical eyes. They shone with wonder, hope, and adventure. Contrarily, my eyes were dull. I once had light and a journal full of adventures.
Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. I live in Minnesota and jumping into the middle of a frozen lake seems very appealing. On the morning of the Polar Plunge, I changed into my 1980s workout gear (健身装备). My son said, “Mom, you look pretty. ”
But I hesitated when approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge. I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake. I kept screaming, “I did it!”
Everyone who participated in the Polar Plunge received a blue T - shirt. Whenever I wear that shirt, my sons stated, “Mommy, you’re great. We want to do that, too”. It makes me proud.
Slowly, I am returning. I am showing my family it’s important to dream and achieve it. I reach out to my friends and family. I am rebuilding myself.
56. What did the author often do at the end of the day (no more than 10 words)
57 What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 6 mean (1 word )
58. Why did the author participate in a Polar Plunge (no more than 15 words)
59. How did the author’s kids react to the author’s change (no more than 10 words)
60. What a life do you think the author is living now Please give your reasons. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. She lost herself in wine, TV and daydreams./She watched TV and daydreamed over a glass of wine. /She drank wine, watched TV and daydreamed/had daydreams.
57. Face. 58. She wanted to change her life (bring back joy/happiness), raise money and the activity was appealing/an adventure/adventurous.
59. They began to admire and appreciate the author.
60. She lives a positive life. Because she manages to make her life meaningful and also balance her life and family.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是作者在成为两个孩子的妈妈后，一心扑在家庭生活上，迷失了自我，但孩子们并不喜欢这样的妈妈。作者意识到这个问题后，决心改变现状，积极参与各项活动，让生活多姿多彩。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape.

【57题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第6段的“I let go of my fear(我放下了恐惧)”和“I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake(当我从湖里出来时，我感到高兴和自豪)”可知，作者接受了挑战，因此embrace的意思是“接受”，和face意思相近，故答案为Face.。
【58题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics.(然后，我决定让我的眼睛恢复明亮。我列出了四十岁之前要尝试的新事物。第一件事就是参加极地跳水，为特奥会筹集资金。)”和第六段的“But I hesitated W hen approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge.(但当我台准备跳进结冰的湖面时，我犹豫了。最后，我放下了恐惧，准备迎接挑战。)”可知，作者参加极地跳水是想改变自己，挑战自己，也为特奥会筹集资金，故答案为She wanted to change her life (bring back joy/happiness), raise money and the activity was appealing/an adventure/adventurous.。
【59题详解】

Jonathan Cranwell sat on hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. Jonathan had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher was from Harvard College. Jonathan’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire Jonathan. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
Jonathan watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next ” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
Jonathan and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster ” asked Jonathan’s father that evening, when Jonathan announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” Jonathan admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked Jonathan’s father.
“I believe he has,” said Jonathan. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
41. What does the underlined word “drone” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Boring sounds. B. Clear talks. C. Enthusiastic responses. D. Loud noises.
42. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children
A. “Go outside and look at the sky,…” B. “See if you can describe their shells.”
C. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,…” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…”
43. The students’ laughter in Paragraph 4 suggests that they were ________.
A. silly B. confused C. delighted D. easygoing
44. According to Paragraph 9, we can learn that ________.
A. Mr. Cranwell had met the new schoolmaster B. Jonathan had previously complained about school
C. Mr. Cranwell was not satisfied with the new ways D. Jonathan had shown his father his homework
45. What is the main idea of this story
A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education.
C. Homework is an important part of education. D. There is more than one way to learn.

Maths anxiety may be causing a national crisis, Cambridge University researchers have said, as they find that one in ten children suffer from anxiety at the subject.
Researchers surveyed 1,700 British pupils aged 8 to 13 about their feelings towards the subject. They found 10% of children suffered from maths anxiety. Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.
“The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.” The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.
Dr. Denes Szucs, a professor at Cambridge’s Centre for Neuroscience (神经科学) in Education said that there is a misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from maths anxiety. “This is a common misunderstanding that we have seen in decision makers,” he said. “They assume people are anxious about maths because they are poor achievers.” In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers. Dr Szucs went on, “Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited. This is a real danger here: these are children who are completely able to do maths at a normal level, but may keep away from it because they feel anxious.” The research also found that girls have higher levels of maths anxiety than boys.
John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.”
46. What can we learn from the survey conducted by the Cambridge University researchers
A. High performing children are safe from maths anxiety.
B. Adults suffer lower levels of maths anxiety than children.
C. Children with maths anxiety suffers both physically and mentally.
D. Girls’ bad performance leads to their high levels of maths anxiety.
47. Why did the researchers study students’ attitudes towards maths
A. They want to help improve students’ academic performance.
B. Maths anxiety may cause great damage to children’s development.
C. They intend to correct people’s misunderstanding on maths anxiety.
D. The maths anxiety shared by people of all ages caused a national crisis.
48. How does the author prove there may be a national maths crisis in the UK in paragraph 3
A. Presenting data. B. Listing reasons.
C. Giving definition. D. Providing examples.
49. In paragraph 4, Dr. Denes Szucs found that ________ .
A. boys suffered a higher level of maths anxiety than girls
B. maths anxiety of low performing children goes unnoticed
C. some of the high achievers also suffered from math anxiety
D. poor achievers might have physical problem in the long term
50. Which of the questions could probably be answered in the paragraph that follows
A. What should be done to improve students’ performance in maths
B. What can be done to make children comfortable with maths
C. How does maths anxiety influence people’s health
D. How can children acquire functional skills

There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too that’s why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance French philosopher Voltaire (1694 — 1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.”
Nobody’s perfect. When we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity (永恒); write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
51. What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”
A. To arouse peoples awareness of tolerance among people.
B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.
C. To solve the problem of global community.
D. To change people’s opinions towards globalization.
52. According to Voltaire, tolerance is ________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
53. Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article
A. They are used to finding faults.
B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.
C. They don’t see things from the angle of others.
D. They are intolerant of themselves too.
54. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”
A. Humans are advised to treat others better. B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others. D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
55. What’s the text mainly about
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
“Mom, I don’t like you; you’re not pretty now,” my five - year - old son said to me one day, Being a mother of two kids under three has certainly kept me busy. In prioritizing my family’s needs, my own needs are always postponed.
By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape. I let myself daydream.
With each passing day, I lose myself just a little bit more. Long ago, I waved goodbye to the fun - loving person I once was and saw the dull version of my new self.
But something changed on the day my son told me I wasn’t pretty. That night, in the mirror I noticed the light had gone out of my eyes. My kids had magical eyes. They shone with wonder, hope, and adventure. Contrarily, my eyes were dull. I once had light and a journal full of adventures.
Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. I live in Minnesota and jumping into the middle of a frozen lake seems very appealing. On the morning of the Polar Plunge, I changed into my 1980s workout gear (健身装备). My son said, “Mom, you look pretty. ”
But I hesitated when approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge. I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake. I kept screaming, “I did it!”
Everyone who participated in the Polar Plunge received a blue T - shirt. Whenever I wear that shirt, my sons stated, “Mommy, you’re great. We want to do that, too”. It makes me proud.
Slowly, I am returning. I am showing my family it’s important to dream and achieve it. I reach out to my friends and family. I am rebuilding myself.
