Before I spoke to his school, Matt was waiting for me. He sat in his wheelchair 11 to move. As soon as he saw me, he started 12 . He could not talk, 13 his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.
One of the teachers told me he was actually very smart. He just lost 14 of his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was 15 and very popular at his school — his parents’ love and encouragement made all the difference. 16 , at a book signing session, I met a girl 17 the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a 18 smile. Anne asked about my book with difficulty in her speech 19 a slight head-injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to 20 one for her. I did.
Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne’s father, “You know you will not understand the book. You can’t 21 well.” He said it so 22 that people were staring in their direction. Her confidence was absolutely 23 and her bright smile was now replaced with a 24 of total disappointment. He 25 the book from her, brought it back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to buy the book for Anne. He said no with a 26 response.
I thought back to Matt. He could not speak, walk, or play but was actually very happy and 27 doing well in school because of the love and 28 of his parents. Anne, on the other hand, had a slight 29 problem and may never know happiness or success because of a cold-hearted father. The truth is that whatever you are telling your 30 makes the difference between their success and failure in life.

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，共50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa’s farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.
I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn’t fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that’s Okay—I’m unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life.
When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn’t change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn’t worth it. Realizing this didn’t stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.
These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldn’t change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay.

When Duke University refused to accept Siobhan O’Dell, 17, by sending her a rejection letter, she refused to take it quietly.
The teenager, from North Carolina, had applied to the famous college in her home state, but in March she was sent a letter telling her she had failed. Mirroring the standard format of college rejection letters, she wrote back：“Dear Duke University, thank you for the rejection letter of March 26, 2015. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission into the fall 2015 freshman class at Duke.”
Her conclusion reads: "Therefore I will be attending Duke University’s 2015 freshmen class. I look forward to seeing you then."
Speaking to a newspaper about the letter, Siobhan said: “They sent me a typical college rejection letter saying this year they had an outstanding pool of applicants... blah, blah, blah. It made me realize how much power universities have over students. High School graduates labor over applications, stress over waiting, and sometimes cry over the answer. Then that’s it.”
“The college has all the power. But what if that wasn’t it? What if we got to treat the college like they treated us? I wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine.”
Officials at Duke were unmoved by the teenager’s courage and obvious intelligence. They did eventually respond to her letter, but didn’t appear to share the joke and her sense of humor, instead telling her that “We don’t simply reopen and review the file” and “It’s very rare that we learn something that leads us to change our decision.” While Miss O’Dell’s letter didn’t earn her a place there, it seems to have got the attention of students on campus, and is even set to feature in the college newspaper.
However, all’s well that ends well for Siobhan O’Dell, who has now been accepted by the University of South Carolina. “I’m going to major in biology and I look forward to going to USC this fall.”
35. Siobhan O’Dell wrote to Duke University officials to _________.
A. inform them she would attend Duke anyway
B. express her feelings in a humorous way
C. tease them for the mistake they made
D. demand them to change the decision
36. What was Duke University’s response to her letter?
A. They are moved by her courage and intelligence.
B. They wrote a letter turning her down again.
C. They ran a story about her in newspaper.
D. They promised her to review her file.
37. The underlined word in the second paragraph may be replaced by “_________”.
A. Reflecting B. Commenting C. Criticizing D. Imitating
38. We can infer from the passage that _________.
A. officials at Duke don’t know how to appreciate humor
B. high school graduates are under too much pressure
C. students have little power over admission decisions
D. universities should not reject students’ application

Energy drinks can cause heart problems in healthy teenagers, scientists fear. Researchers are urging doctors, parents and teachers to monitor children’s drinking more closely because marketing them as relieving tiredness and providing physical and mental power ignores major concerns.
Dr Fabian Sanchis-Gomar, of Octubre Hospital, Madrid, and his colleagues said the drinks that have gained popularity among 10 to 19-year-olds can trigger sudden heart attacks in young, apparently healthy people.
Previous experiments has shown energy drinks high in caffeine (咖啡因) change the way the heart beats and could increase the risk of potentially deadly heart rhythm problems. In healthy adults who consumed the drinks, the left ventricle—which pumps blood around the body—was contracting harder, and still doing so an hour later.
Energy drinks often contain high amounts of labeled caffeine but can also contain “masked” caffeine in the form of guarana, for example, which comes from a Brazilian plant and is identical to caffeine found in coffee beans. Although caffeine is widely used and generally regarded as safe, serious harmful effects have been reported, especially when consumed in larger amount, said the researchers.
“It is important for physicians to understand the lack of regulation in caffeine content and other ingredients of these high energy drinks and their harms. And parents and children should be educated about the risks and the potential development of anxiety and fears coming with drinking large amounts of energy drinks.”
Dr Sanchis-Gomar’s team’s advice was that one can (250 mL) of an energy drink a day is safe for most healthy adolescents, but consumption before or during sports practice should be avoided.
43. The passage is mainly about __________.
A. negative effects of energy drinks on healthy people
B. potential risks facing teens having energy drinks
C. the danger of heart problems caused by caffeine
D. a new finding of a medical research
44. Which of the following statements about energy drinks is TRUE?
A. They p
