阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的 A、 B、 C、 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Once Popular Sports in Ancient Capital Xi'an
The ancient capital Xi'an in Northwest China s Shaanxi province is holding the National Games. As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history, the ancient city has never been far from sports. Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the city has held many sports events.
Cuju: Origin of modern soccer
Cuju was an ancient Chinese competitive game involving kicking a ball through an opening into a net. As the ancestor of soccer, it first appeared in the renowned ancient Chinese historical work Zhan Guo Ce ( Strategies of the Warring States ), which described Cuju as a form of entertainment among the general public. Later, cuju was commonly played in the army for military training purposes, during the Han Dynasty.
Jiaodi: Chinese-style wrestling
Sumo, known as Japan s national sport , actually started in ancient China. Sumo was called jiaodi or jiaoli in ancient times. Ancient jiaodi, a Chinese-style wrestling, was performed by athletes wearing ox horns and wrestling with each other imitating wild oxen. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, jiaodi was highly favored by emperors. In the Tang Dynasty, jiaodi was part of military training and a kind of entertainment and athletic sports.
Jiju: Ancient polo
Jiju is a sport which uses a stick to hit balls while riding on a horse, pretty similar to modern polo. It was popular in the royal court and among common people in the Tang Dynasty. There were many fields for playing polo in the court and it was also a major military training program in the army. In the Tang Dynasty capital, there were formal polo courts, such as the stadium pavilion in Chang' an palace.
Archery
During ancient times, the origin of archery was closely related with hunting and defense. Ancient archery was not only an athletic event, a military training program, and an entertainment activity, but also part of education. As early as in Zhou Dynasty, the archery was listed as one of the six practical disciplines, also called the Six Arts, becoming an important and competitive form.

When you hear the beginning of your favorite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goose bumps.
It s such a thing that a group of scientists call skin excitement a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. Skin excitement can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that causes the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.
Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality, and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience skin excitement when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin aren't the only giveaway scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn't. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.
Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.
So, what type of music causes the chills It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that s the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.
24. What can we learn about skin excitement in the text
A. It helps to produce dopamine.
B. It is caused by the pain in the skin.
C. It can be experienced by every music listener.
D. It is the human body s reaction to something nice.
25. What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find
A. The percentage of music lovers in students.
B. The solutions to the goose bumps on one s skin.
C. The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.
D. The relationship between one s music preference and personality.
26. What are people with cold-prone brains like
A. Beautiful and intelligent. B. Emotional and dishonest.
C. Imaginative and sensitive. D. Brave and strong-minded.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Responses to Music Vary among People
B. A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible Music
C. Your Favorite Music Reveals Your Personality
D. Favorite Music May Bring Forth Goose Bumps
C
Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals, Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program, conditioning the animals reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First, the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios(设想).
28. What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs
A. Use their claws to take the drugs.
B. Enjoy treats from the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface of packages.
D. Search for drugs with the same smell.
29. What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.
C. Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.
D. Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection.
30. What is of vital importance for the animals successful detection
A. Developing the immediate reactions of animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target s smell.
C. Doing special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Involving practice sessions under different conditions.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Animals in Drug Detection
B. A New Member in the Drug Detection Force
C. The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug Detection
D. Chongqing Police s Training Program for Sniffer Animals
D
A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. I can t stop beating myself up, she told me. I m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening
Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of mind set research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.
The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.
The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It s often the people who learn to say stuff happens who get up the fastest.
32. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to
A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism.
B. Those tired of working all night in the library.
C. Those believing hard work surely pay off.
D. Those overprotected by their parents in life.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.
B. The result of the mindset research doesn t apply to all cases.
C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids academic performance.
D. Whether praising kids effort over ability does good to kids depends.
34. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life
A. By choosing where to go to college for them.
B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.
C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard.
D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Students should not expect too much from their study.
B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.
C. Students should bear all the failures on their own.
D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.
第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分， 满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ____36___. Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it s a good idea to study the day before a big test. ____37____. Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.
Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____38____. “If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,” says Katherine Rawson. She’s a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than students who studied the way they normally had.
Test yourself
Nebel’s preferred study habit is one of the best way. Before big tests, Nebel’s mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “____39____,” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions,”she adds.
Dig deeper
It s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. It s taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another, she says. ____40____.
A. The same should go for learning
B. Some tips help for almost every subject
C. Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother
D. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful
E. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things
F. Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new information
G. But research shows it s a bad idea to force all your studying into that day

第三节 读后续写 (满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My mouth felt dry as I followed my mother into the doctor’s office and sank into a chair next to hers. This doctor had a room full of gadgets (小装置) and gizmos (小物件) to analyze the learning abilities of failing students. That day he had analyzed me. “I’m sorry to tell you this, Mrs. Dow, but Peter has dyslexia (阅读障碍). A fairly serious case.”
I swallowed and tried to breathe. The doctor went on. “He’ll never read above the fourth-grade level. Since he won’t be able to complete high school requirements,I suggest you enroll (使登记) him in a trade school where he can learn to work with his hands.” I didn’t want to go to trade school (职校). I wanted to apply at Bible College in our town to be a preacher (牧师), like my dad. I forced my tears back. A twelve-year-old was too big to cry. “Thank you, Doctor.” We drove home.
Dyslexia I’d never heard it before. Sure, I was always the slowest kid in my class. I had a special hiding place where I would cry because I couldn’t do my lessons however hard I tried. Of course, I never told my mom about that. I was too ashamed. I didn’t want to worry her, either. She had enough on her mind with teaching school full-time and taking care of Dad and me.
On reaching home, my mom looked into my eyes with tears running down her cheeks. Seeing her cry was too much for me. Before I knew what was happening, I was in her arms crying. A few minutes later she said, “Honey, I want to talk to you.” I waited, sniffling (抽泣). “You heard what the doctor said about your not finishing school. I don’t believe him.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I stopped sniffling and looked at her.

I stopped sniffling and looked at her. Her mild blue eyes smiled into mine(她那双温和的蓝眼睛对着我微笑). Behind them lay an iron will(钢铁般的意志). “We’ll have to work very hard, you, dad, and I, but I think we can do it. Now that I know what the problem is, we can try to overcome it. I’m going to hire a tutor who knows about dyslexia(难语症). I’ll work with you myself (亲自) evenings and weekends. Her eyebrows drew down(眉毛垂了下来) as she peered/stare at me. “Are you willing to work, Peter Do you want to try ”
A ray of hope shone through the uncertain future. “Yes, Mom. I really want to.” The next six years were an endurance run(耐力赛) for both of us. I studied with a tutor twice a week until I could haltingly(迟疑不决/犹豫/断断续续/支支吾吾) read my lessons. Each night my mom and I sat at my little desk and rehearsed(排练) that day’s schoolwork for at least two hours, sometimes until midnight. We drilled for(为……操练) tests until my head pounded and the print blurred(模糊不清) before my eyes(直到我眼前的指纹模糊不清). At least twice a week, I wanted to quit. I had the strength of a kitten, but my mom’s courage never wavered(动摇).

Once Popular Sports in Ancient Capital Xi'an
The ancient capital Xi'an in Northwest China s Shaanxi province is holding the National Games. As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history, the ancient city has never been far from sports. Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the city has held many sports events.
Cuju: Origin of modern soccer
Cuju was an ancient Chinese competitive game involving kicking a ball through an opening into a net. As the ancestor of soccer, it first appeared in the renowned ancient Chinese historical work Zhan Guo Ce ( Strategies of the Warring States ), which described Cuju as a form of entertainment among the general public. Later, cuju was commonly played in the army for military training purposes, during the Han Dynasty.
Jiaodi: Chinese-style wrestling
Sumo, known as Japan s national sport , actually started in ancient China. Sumo was called jiaodi or jiaoli in ancient times. Ancient jiaodi, a Chinese-style wrestling, was performed by athletes wearing ox horns and wrestling with each other imitating wild oxen. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, jiaodi was highly favored by emperors. In the Tang Dynasty, jiaodi was part of military training and a kind of entertainment and athletic sports.
Jiju: Ancient polo
Jiju is a sport which uses a stick to hit balls while riding on a horse, pretty similar to modern polo. It was popular in the royal court and among common people in the Tang Dynasty. There were many fields for playing polo in the court and it was also a major military training program in the army. In the Tang Dynasty capital, there were formal polo courts, such as the stadium pavilion in Chang' an palace.
Archery
During ancient times, the origin of archery was closely related with hunting and defense. Ancient archery was not only an athletic event, a military training program, and an entertainment activity, but also part of education. As early as in Zhou Dynasty, the archery was listed as one of the six practical disciplines, also called the Six Arts, becoming an important and competitive form.

When you hear the beginning of your favorite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goose bumps.
It s such a thing that a group of scientists call skin excitement a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. Skin excitement can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that causes the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.
Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality, and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience skin excitement when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin aren't the only giveaway scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn't. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.
Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.
So, what type of music causes the chills It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that s the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.
24. What can we learn about skin excitement in the text
A. It helps to produce dopamine.
B. It is caused by the pain in the skin.
C. It can be experienced by every music listener.
D. It is the human body s reaction to something nice.
25. What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find
A. The percentage of music lovers in students.
B. The solutions to the goose bumps on one s skin.
C. The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.
D. The relationship between one s music preference and personality.
26. What are people with cold-prone brains like
A. Beautiful and intelligent. B. Emotional and dishonest.
C. Imaginative and sensitive. D. Brave and strong-minded.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Responses to Music Vary among People
B. A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible Music
C. Your Favorite Music Reveals Your Personality
D. Favorite Music May Bring Forth Goose Bumps
C
Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals, Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program, conditioning the animals reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First, the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios(设想).
28. What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs
A. Use their claws to take the drugs.
B. Enjoy treats from the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface of packages.
D. Search for drugs with the same smell.
29. What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.
C. Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.
D. Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection.
30. What is of vital importance for the animals successful detection
A. Developing the immediate reactions of animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target s smell.
C. Doing special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Involving practice sessions under different conditions.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Animals in Drug Detection
B. A New Member in the Drug Detection Force
C. The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug Detection
D. Chongqing Police s Training Program for Sniffer Animals

A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. I can t stop beating myself up, she told me. I m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening
Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of mind set research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.
The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.
The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It s often the people who learn to say stuff happens who get up the fastest.
32. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to
A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism.
B. Those tired of working all night in the library.
C. Those believing hard work surely pay off.
D. Those overprotected by their parents in life.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.
B. The result of the mindset research doesn t apply to all cases.
C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids academic performance.
D. Whether praising kids effort over ability does good to kids depends.
34. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life
A. By choosing where to go to college for them.
B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.
C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard.
D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Students should not expect too much from their study.
B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.
C. Students should bear all the failures on their own.
D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.

Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ____36___. Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it s a good idea to study the day before a big test. ____37____. Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.
Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____38____. “If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,” says Katherine Rawson. She’s a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than students who studied the way they normally had.
Test yourself
Nebel’s preferred study habit is one of the best way. Before big tests, Nebel’s mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “____39____,” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions,”she adds.
Dig deeper
It s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. It s taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another, she says. ____40____.
A. The same should go for learning
B. Some tips help for almost every subject
C. Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother
D. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful
E. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things
F. Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new information
G. But research shows it s a bad idea to force all your studying into that day

My mouth felt dry as I followed my mother into the doctor’s office and sank into a chair next to hers. This doctor had a room full of gadgets (小装置) and gizmos (小物件) to analyze the learning abilities of failing students. That day he had analyzed me. “I’m sorry to tell you this, Mrs. Dow, but Peter has dyslexia (阅读障碍). A fairly serious case.”
I swallowed and tried to breathe. The doctor went on. “He’ll never read above the fourth-grade level. Since he won’t be able to complete high school requirements,I suggest you enroll (使登记) him in a trade school where he can learn to work with his hands.” I didn’t want to go to trade school (职校). I wanted to apply at Bible College in our town to be a preacher (牧师), like my dad. I forced my tears back. A twelve-year-old was too big to cry. “Thank you, Doctor.” We drove home.
Dyslexia I’d never heard it before. Sure, I was always the slowest kid in my class. I had a special hiding place where I would cry because I couldn’t do my lessons however hard I tried. Of course, I never told my mom about that. I was too ashamed. I didn’t want to worry her, either. She had enough on her mind with teaching school full-time and taking care of Dad and me.
On reaching home, my mom looked into my eyes with tears running down her cheeks. Seeing her cry was too much for me. Before I knew what was happening, I was in her arms crying. A few minutes later she said, “Honey, I want to talk to you.” I waited, sniffling (抽泣). “You heard what the doctor said about your not finishing school. I don’t believe him.”

I stopped sniffling and looked at her. Her mild blue eyes smiled into mine(她那双温和的蓝眼睛对着我微笑). Behind them lay an iron will(钢铁般的意志). “We’ll have to work very hard, you, dad, and I, but I think we can do it. Now that I know what the problem is, we can try to overcome it. I’m going to hire a tutor who knows about dyslexia(难语症). I’ll work with you myself (亲自) evenings and weekends. Her eyebrows drew down(眉毛垂了下来) as she peered/stare at me. “Are you willing to work, Peter Do you want to try ”
A ray of hope shone through the uncertain future. “Yes, Mom. I really want to.” The next six years were an endurance run(耐力赛) for both of us. I studied with a tutor twice a week until I could haltingly(迟疑不决/犹豫/断断续续/支支吾吾) read my lessons. Each night my mom and I sat at my little desk and rehearsed(排练) that day’s schoolwork for at least two hours, sometimes until midnight. We drilled for(为……操练) tests until my head pounded and the print blurred(模糊不清) before my eyes(直到我眼前的指纹模糊不清). At least twice a week, I wanted to quit. I had the strength of a kitten, but my mom’s courage never wavered(动摇).
