A
My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well.” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
1.Why did the author want to hide?

2. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?
A. Considerate and dutiful. B. Demanding and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Friendly and ambitious.
3.Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech?
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.
B. Dyslexia made the author unable to read.
C. The author had become an active speaker.
D. Mr. Creech taught two Anthony Hamiltons.
B
As people get older, the types and numbers of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have large groups of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this aging attraction toward meaningful relationships was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps (大猩猩） also have similar tendencies.
Rosati and her colleagues used 78, 000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps.
Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern of social aging with humans. Rosati says, “They prefer strong, mutual social bonds and interact with others in more positive ways as they get older. ” The older chimpanzees preferred spending more time with chimps that they had become friends with over the years. They would sit close to these long-time companions and groom (梳毛）each other. By contrast, younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn't returned.
Older male chimps were also more likely to spend more time alone. The researchers said that they showed a shift from negative interactions to more positive ones, preferring to spend their later years in nonconfrontational (非对抗性的），positive relationships. Researchers call the preference a “positivity bias”。
Researchers theorize that chimps, like humans, are able to change their social focus as they age. “We propose that this aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to regulate our emotions with age, ” Rosati says. “This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability. ”
5.What does the new study find about chimps?
A. Male chimps show more interactions than females.
B. Old chimps don't care about friends as much as young ones.
C. Chimps concentrate more on meaningful relations with age.
D. Chimps share aging problems similar to human beings.
6. How did Rosati and her colleagues conduct their research?
A. By studying the data provided by other researchers.
B. By making scientific investigations and observations.
C. By setting up models on the computer in the lab.
D. By monitoring both the humans' and chimps' behavior.
7.What do researchers think causes this aging attraction to meaningful relationships?
A. Inability to regulate emotions.
B. Eagerness to build closer relationships.
C. Loss of competitiveness in strength.
D. Failure to adapt to the changeable nature.
8.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A short story collection.
B. A popular science magazine.
C. A graduate research paper.
D. A biology textbook.
