One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Gallbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
24. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?
A. Unfriendly B. Untidy C. Gentle D. Kind
25. The author bought coffee for the old man because_________.
A. he thought the old man was poor B. he wanted to start a conversation
C. he intended to show his politeness D. he would like to thank the old man
26. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?
A. Proud. B. Pitiful. C. Surprised. D. Regretful.
27. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?
A. We should learn to be generous.
B. It is honorable to help those in need.
C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.
D. We should avoid judging people by their appearance.

Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead，you might want to try sitting back，relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes，you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea，try daydreaming.
Researchers from the university of California，Santa Barbara，found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”．They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.
Then，the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again：complete a difficult task；complete an easy task；take a 12-minute break；or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.
Surprisingly，the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.
But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious?thought”．Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem，it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem，but in a much more subtle(微妙的) way.
When you daydream，your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control，it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.
Great ideas never come easily，but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.
28．The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants .
A．complete an easy task B．complete a very difficult task
C．take a 12-minute break D．think of various ways to use an object
29．Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?
A．They were not actively working to solve the easy task.
B．They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.
C．They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.
D．They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.
30．What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.
B．Your brain knows clearly what you’re thinking and doing.
C．Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.
D．Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.
31．The passage mainly wants to tell us that ?.
A．brainstorming is important to creative ideas
B．daydreaming is a way to improve creativity
C．problem-solving skills are important in our lives
D．the more we exercise brains, the more ideas we’ll get
D
In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters (恶魔). The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen (充血红肿) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.
Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.
Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness (晕倒) and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency (频繁).
32. Whom are electronic games found very popular with?
A. People living in towns. B. Students studying in high schools.
C. Young people. D. Girls working in their father’s workshops.
33. What is “Space Warrior’s Wrist” caused by?
A. Constantly pressing the buttons. B. Rapidly moving across the screen.
C. Tightly holding the joystick controls. D. Inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist.
34. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _______.
A. supports playing electronic games
B. feels very sorry for the girl
C. disagreed with young people’s playing electronic games
D. feels worried about young people’s poor health
35. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is _______.
A. enjoyable and helpful to the study B. amusing and satisfying
C. interesting but harmless to the eyes D. exciting but harmful to the health and study

Your education is very important. 36 By working on making a good impression each day, you can enjoy a positive relationship with your teacher.
Greet your teacher with a smile. Your teacher likely arrives to work very early each day, perhaps ever before the sun has risen. 37 Greeting your teacher with a smile and warm regards every morning is a great way to promote your relationship and to improve their day.
38 Another way to establish a good relationship with your teacher is by being punctual (准时的) to class all the time, always arriving before the bell rings. This will allow your teacher to see you as a reliable person who is respectful of their time.
Never argue with your teacher. Though you may see some of your classmates being disrespectful (不尊敬的) to your teacher, try very hard not to become one of these people. Your teacher has been hired to guide your education and to help you learn important knowledge that will be useful to you in life. Respect this and do not argue with them. 39
Follow instructions. Your teacher likely has a set of rules that you must obey in class in addition to the regular school rules. 40 If your teacher feels that you keep yourself out of trouble, they will view you more positively and your relationship will strengthen.
A. Come to class on time.
B. Apologize for past mistakes.
C. Be sure to make a note of these rules and to keep them.

I was walking around the other day when I saw a sign(招牌) for The Bookworm.It’s a really cool café that has great food,(17) and sometimes they have music and other special events. Well, I happened to hear that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at 7:30 that very night. Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment.He used to write about China for The New Yorker, and he also wrote 3 books about his experiences living and working in Beijing. I was so excited to hear him speaking that I went right over to The Bookworm at 7:00,(18) (19) took a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he didn’t show up. Finally, at 8:30, I asked one of the staff when Peter Hessler was supposed to be there. (19) “Peter Hessler?” he replied, “He’s not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last month, though.” It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, just not in the right month! (20)
