A
Sidney Keys, 14-year-old, has started a youth-led book club program, with the support and help of his mom, to help empower (给予……力量) both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
“I used to have a really bad stutter (结巴) and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it,” Sidney Keys, the founder of the book club Books N Bros said. “Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly.” He said, “I wanted to start up Books N Bros so that I could talk to other people, especially boys, about books I love in a relaxing way because it’s like a brotherhood.”
The reading club that he started at just 10 years old now has over 250 “bros” aged 7 to 13 from the U.S. and Canada, most of whom are changing actively and positively. Marvels Hero Project, which reveals (展示) the remarkable, positive change young men make in their communities across the country and turns them into superheroes, selected Keys to be featured in the Disney series.
“I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me, but now I see a comic book with me in it,” Keys said. “It’s unbelievable that my friends and teachers all call me my superhero name.”
As for the future of Books N Bros, Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country. “Getting Books N Bros in schools across America, we don’t want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond. It just benefits so many people, and it keeps me going,” Keys explained
1. What’s the main reason for Sidney Keys to build the club Books N Bros
A. His mother’s support.
B. His poor school performance.
C. His own sufferings.
D. His desire to talk to people.
2. Why was Keys chosen by Marvel’s Hero Project
A Because he was called a superhero by people.
B. Because he made a difference to others.
C. Because he was brave to face his shortcomings.
D. Because he looked like a role in the Disney series.
3. What is this text mainly about
A. How Sidney Keys and Books N Bros affect other people.
B. How Marvels Hero Project creates a superhero.
C. How a teenager gets help from Marvels Hero Project.
D. How a music club becomes a hit across America.
B
There is an old saying in Chinese: “To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools.” When it comes to photography, however, it’s not exactly the case. In this year’s National Geographic Travel Photo Contest, Greenlandic Winter, a picture by Chinese photographer ChuWeimin, took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
When asked why he chose Upernavik, a small fishing village in Greenland, to take his pictures, Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. “Through my entire flight, I could only see the land, covered by pure white ice and snow. But I suddenly saw a big, warm dot in the far distance—Upemavik,” he told National Geographic. “The beauty of this tranquil (宁静的) village was beyond my imagination. It was a ‘wow’ moment for me.” This ability to discover a “wow moment” is what makes a good travel photographer
According to Chu, he was moved by Upemavik’s blue tint at dusk, the warm yellow light from the windows, and the family of three walking along the snowy street. Although he is a professional photographer, many of Chu’s Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
This attitude is similar to the one held by Austrian-American photographer Emest Haas(1921-1986). Haas told his students that they were so focused on cameras that they couldn’t understand the true meaning of photography. “The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference,” Haas said. “All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to SEE.”
Perhaps it’s not just in photography that we’ve put too much emphasis on the role of tools. How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don’t yet have the “right” outfit (装备) or computer
It’s true that “sharpened” tools make the work easier, but as reporter Abbilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost: “In the end, it’s really the artist that makes a good painting, not the paintbrush.”
4. What do we know about Chu Weimin
A. He is better at pnotographig people than scenery.
B. His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
C. His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
D. He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
5. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 3
A. To explain why Chu’s picture stands out.
B. To introduce Chu’s love for Upemavik.
C. To recommend a good place for taking photos.
D. To explain what inspired the winning picture.
6. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 5
A. Glad. B. Unwillng. C. Confident. D. Supposed.
C
As birth order is clearly one of the many factors that affect personality development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, giving orders to later children like their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极端), he or she can become an overbearing adult.
Studies of nearly 300 people have found that firstborns are usually the most strongly motivated toward achievements. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative (保守的) than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move toward such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become used to acting alone in the very early years, they may have difficulty making close friends.
By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious (雄心壮志的) and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children prefer the creative fields such as music, art, and writing. Later children may make good sellers because persuasion may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.
7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “overbearing” in the first paragraph
A. trying to order others without considering their ideas or feelings
B. being unable to express their real feelings or to do what one really wants
C. preferring the established order of society to change
D. changing easily to adapt to new needs, conditions or ideas
8. According to the passage, what is a younger child more likely to become
A. A good librarian. B. A good doctor.
C. A good writer. D. A good teacher.
9. Why Later children may become good sellers
A. Because they feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B. Because they are very good at persuading others.
C. Because they have great ambition to develop leadership.
D. Because they are more relaxed and sociable.
10. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest
B. Birth Order Factor in Marriage
C. The Relation between Birth Order and Job Success
D. Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality

By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious (雄心壮志的) and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children prefer the creative fields such as music, art, and writing. Later children may make good sellers because persuasion may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.

A. trying to order others without considering their ideas or feelings
B. being unable to express their real feelings or to do what one really wants

D. changing easily to adapt to new needs, conditions or ideas
8. According to the passage, what is a younger child more likely to become
A. A good librarian. B. A good doctor.
C. A good writer. D. A good teacher.
9. Why Later children may become good sellers
A. Because they feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B. Because they are very good at persuading others.
