It was a cold afternoon. I was training a soccer team of first-graders. It was the day of our first practice.
I sat with the kids on a long beach in the grass. Any time I train them a new team, I spend a few minutes helping them to 11 one another. Each kid needs to say his own name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left of him.
A few minutes later, I decided to put the kids to a test. Alex was chosen to start at the end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s 12 and then shake his right hand.
Alex was doing well, and he went down the row—Dylan, Micah, David and Beau –until he 13 Ben. He said Ben’s name and reached out his right hand, but Ben just 14 there, his right hand 15 in his jacket.
“Ben, why don’t you let Alex shake your hand?” I asked. Ben stood up, and said, “But I don’t have that 16 .” He pulled his jacket away from his right shoulder.

21 CENTURY
After 5 acting nominations and 22 years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination, the 41-year-old actor Leonardo DiCarprio, won his first Oscar for his all-out effort in the film The Revenant, at the 88th Academy Awards on Feb 28. The film will hit cinemas on March18.
DiCarprio’s career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic. That film could have easily been the high point of any actor’s filmography.
People focaus on his face more than his acting. An article on yahoo! Movies showed the reasons why DiCarprio could not win an Oscar, saying, “Since the huge success in Titanic, he’s had to work extra hard to choose difficult, less showy roles to escape from his pretty face.”
Known as one of the pickiest (挑剔的) actors, he always chooses to work with more challenging productions. He tries different roles and in the film The Revenant, he needed to endure (忍受) sub-zero temperatures for seven months. An article in Life Week wrote, “Compared with DiCarprio’s terrible experience in the Revenant, Robinson Crusoe’s adventure seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation.”
The efforts were thought highly by both the public and the Academy. Having finally earning the US top acting award, the actor is now turning to dream of producing films.
But of course acting still plays the most important part in his life. “The award itself is not why you do these films. You do them because if you love the art form……I did that piece of work, and I gave it everything I could while I was there.” He said.
( ) 26.According to the passage, the reason why DiCarprio could not het the award earlier was that

( ) 27. The sentence “However, the film also gave him a name of pretty boy.” Should be put at the beginning of _____________.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
( ) 28. Which of the following slangs can be best describe DiCarprio’s success?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. A good beginning is half done.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. A man can do no more he can.
C
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one.

Honesty is where a good friendship le to trust starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s heart. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend.They tell your friend what is important to you.By sharing them,you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem cam make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

Albert Einstein is right once again! The physicist though of the idea about gravitational waves (引力波) 100 years ago with his Theory of Relativity (相对论), but scientists are finally discovering proof of it now. but what are gravitational waves, and why are they important?
Well, gravitational waves are made by black holes and can change time in space. Black holes are not holes but are a lot of matter packed into a very small area, according to NASA. They are created when a star, much like our sun, explodes (爆炸) and leaves behind this dense (稠密的) material. It doesn’t shine like a star any more, and it becomes black.
The black holes that made these waves are special. About 1.3 billion years ago, there were black holes that kept moving closer and closer together. Finally,they crashed into each other and formed a big black hole. The energy released(释放)by the crash created ripples (涟漪)in space. These ripples are gravitational waves.
Imagine you throw a stone in a pond. It creates ripples that change the pattern of the water. Well, that’s kind of what the impact (冲击力) of two colliding (碰撞) black holes has in space.
Gravitational waves are hard to feel. A special gravitational wave an observatory (天文台) called LIGO discovered the ripples on Feb 11.Einstein was great to know this100 years ago,before we had the technology.
This is important because it can give us a new view of the universe we live in, according to LIGO scientists. Now, we will be able to discover black holes and things that are much further away from earth, which means much more space exploration in the future. And who knows, this discovery could even lead to time travel.
( ) 32. Which of the following about gravitational waves is not true?
A. Albert Einstein know about them. B. They were found 100 years ago.
C. They were made by black holes. D. They can change time in space.
( ) 33. What does the underlined “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to?
A. Gravitational waves. B. Black holes. C. Stars. D. Different materials.
( ) 34. What does Paragraph 3 talk about?
A. How black holes are formed. B. Why are black holes black.
C. How gravitational waves are created. D. Why gravitational waves are important.
( ) 35. The discovery of gravitational waves can help people ___________.
A. understand the pattern of the water B. set up a special observatory
C. learn more about the universe D. travel anywhere freely
四、任务型阅读 Fighting online crimes
Nowadays, more and more affairs are moved online. So are crimes. Although many efforts have been made to fight against crimes, the problem is still growing more serious. The best way to stay away from online crimes is to protect yourselves.
Here are six ways that you have to learn with your family to avoid being victims of online crimes.
Keep your passwords safe. We can understand that you want your passwords to be easy to remember, but that may put your computer or even your money at risk. One hacker (黑客) reported that weak passwords made it easier for him to enter the most secured websites. A safe password should contain at least eight characters, including numbers, letters, and symbols. And don’t let others use your passwords. If you have to do it, change your password as soon as possible.
Go low tech. if you have a sheet of passwords or any other private digital file (电子文档), remember to keep it in your old computer or another computer which is not connected to the Internet. If you don’t have an extra computer, encrypt (加密) the files.
Use two places. Prepare a backup copy (备份) for your most important files so that you won’t lose everything if your computer is attacked.
Keep 38 bad sites. Visiting only the trusted sites can highly reduce the risks of being attacked online.
Don’t fall for pop-ups. If an email or pop-up window (弹窗) asks you to enter your passwords, don’t do it. Instead, visit the official website directly. Big companies never ask you to enter your information through an email.
Stick to the bottom line. Worries about bank accounts often make people the victims of online attack. Check your bank account regularly to make sure that your money is safe. If you have problems, ask for help from the bank.
