Paris Bake r is a 30-year-old mother who has two daughters, Kallie, nine, and Harper, five.
One day, the three were playing at home. Harper was playing mom, feeding her mother, then her teddy bear and finally herself. Suddenly, Paris started choking on a piece of cookie. Soon, the cookie was at the back of her throat. The two girls started hitting her back at once. After about a minute of hitting her back, Kallie went to call an ambulance as she started to worry. As she did this the other girl carried on doing what she had been doing and thankfully the cookie finally came up.

This included applying pressure to a bleeding wound, what to do if someone is choking and how to call emergency services.
The girls know that if their dad isn’t home and an emergency happens there are three steps. Step one is to ring 999, ask for an ambulance and give their address. Step two is to put their dogs in the garden, and step three is to open the front door for the emergency services.

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an avers ion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related（有关的）to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes.
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
28. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Interest. B. Responsibility.
C. Dislike. D. Misunderstanding.
29. What first made the author look forward to math class
A. Mr. A’s attitude. B. Her interest in math.
C. Her friends’ encouragement. D. The top achievers in her class.
30. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A
A. It was straight. B. It was awkward.
C. It was challenging. D. It was impressive.
31. How did the author change in math
A. She made slow progress.
B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight -A math student.
D. She became comfortable with difficult math questions.
D
“The Last Dance”, the documentary（纪录片）,told the story of Michael Jordan and his success with the Chicago Bulls. We learned a lot about Michael Jordan and his championships. We took behind-the-scenes glimpses（一瞥）at what it’s like to compete in the NBA. We were given a glimpse into the ‘90s basketball era（时代）at a time when almost no sports are being played. But it also meant something for our culture, experts say.
Dr. Josh Shuart, the director of sport management at the Jack Welch College of Business &Technology at Sacred Heart University （Connecticut）, told the Deseret News that the documentary showed something important for our modern society. Watching “The Last Dance” gave us something to look forward to during a time when there’s nothing else going on, he said. “Why is it important and why did people watchit The latter is simple: with the absence of live sports of any kind, it was probably the single most interesting thing on TV,” Shuart said in an email to the Deseret News.
Michael Jordan matters for sports culture, too. Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting athletes to brands and brands to athletes. Athletes can take care of their brand during their careers and even well into retirement. Shaquille O’Neal is an example, Shuart said. The Los Angeles Lakers legend-though highly celebrated for his basketball career-has built post-basketball success through business opportunities.
There might not have been too much new content in “The Last Dance” for sports fans who grew up in the Jordan era. But storytelling still provides a path for us to find happiness, Shuart said.
“Above all, even though we know the beginning, middle, and end, the storytelling provides amazing insight and results in a very interesting story,” he said.
32. What is “The Last Dance” mainly about
A. The history of the Chicago Bulls.
B. Michael Jordan’s growing-up experience.
C. The development of basketball in the 1990s.
D. Michael Jordan’s success with the Chicago Bulls.
33. Why did the author take Shaquille O’Neal as an example
A. To compare Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal.
B. To discuss why basketball means a lot to most people.
C. To show Michael Jordan’s great influence on other athletes.
D. To prove that it takes athletes much hard work to be successful.
34. What does Shuart think of “The Last Dance”
A. It is boring for most people.
B. It is encouraging and successful.
C. It can’t attract Michael Jordan’s fans.
D. It shows Michael Jordan’s unknown life.
35. Where does the text probably come from
A. A TV guide. B. A business report.
C. An official notice. D. A documentary review.

Traveling enhances（促进）personal growth.
Traveling often involves stepping out of our comfort zone and experiencing new things. These new experiences help us grow on a personal level. 40 By dealing with these situations, you will discover your own strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc. This self-awareness is important to your personal growth and discovering who you really are.
