Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter, I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher’s lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn’t hear what was being said around the room. In a vain effort to keep up with them, I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually, I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes. I began to pretend that I knew what was going on. Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed, I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.
Luckily then fate threw me light.
On one sunny afternoon, my teacher, Mrs. Jordan, asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand. I couldn’t believe it—despite my fears, I felt incredibly confident because—for once—I was sure I had the right answer. But, when she called on me, I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. I didn’t want to blow it. I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.
Her explosive response shocked all of us. She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor, pointing directly at me. With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN!〞
For the first time in my young life, I felt like an instant star. My heart burst with pride. My confidence soared. It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN! It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome. From that day, my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.
24. What does the underlined word “muddle-headed〞 in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Absent-minded. B. Relaxed.
C. Confused. D. Delighted.
25. Why was the author in fear of answering Mrs. Jordan’s question?
A. He lacked confidence and bravery.
B. He wasn’t sure of the right answer.
C. He would be laughed at by his classmates.
D. He was afraid that he would disappoint her.
26. What can be inferred about Mrs. Jordan?
A. She was born with creativity. B. She changed the author’s life.
C. She was strict with her students. D. She was a woman of hot temper.
27. What could be the best title for the text?

C. My Inspiring Stories D. Disabled But Strong-willed

The spiders have long, scary legs. Some spiders even bite. But Spider-Man is another story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.
After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel(漫威漫画公司) films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp(黄蜂), he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.
Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did they find them scary?〞 “Did seeing one make their hearts race and palms sweat?〞 A second group received similar questions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video—wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.
After viewing the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked the participants how they felt about spiders, ants or insects in general—and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia(恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop people from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.
Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldn’t just run out and watch movies and expect their fears to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road.〞 Ben-Ezra says. “We didn’t say you’ll be cured. We don’t have evidence for that.〞 But eventually, presenting people’s fears in a positive context—such as a superhero movie—might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spicier-Man, maybe they’re not so bad.
28. How did Ben-Ezra conduct the study?
A. By doing lab experiments. B. By asking questions.
C. By analyzing former data. D. By observation.
29. What does the underlined word “surmount〞 in the last paragraph mean?
A. Delete. B. Regain.
C. Discover. D. Overcome.
30. What did Ben-Ezra advise people to do with phobias?
A. They should not try to face their phobias.
B. They should travel, work and enjoy their lives.
C. They should adopt a positive attitude to their fear.
D. They must keep away from the insects they fear.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Movies about the Insect Fear
B. The Positive Energy of Superheroes
C. The Cartoon Characters Made by Marvel
D. Fighting Spider Fear with Spider-Man

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act , was initiated(启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2022.
The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence〞. The new law came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.
An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are a greater risk of being affected by cancer.
Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence〞 because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers.
Once convicted, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family.
In February in 2022, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.
32. What is the fact about the new law in Thailand?
A. It makes it clear that smoking at home is a crime.
B. It’s a law on protecting the health of non-smokers.
C. It was drafted and adopted by the royal family.
D. It classifies smoking as a form of domestic violence.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing〞 in Paragraph 3?
A. Treating. B. Changing.
C. Improving. D. Controlling.
34. What is NOT the evil consequence of smoking at home?
A. It may increase the risk of cancer in passive smokers.
B. It will probably cause physical or emotional violence.
C. It will make the smokers become more aggressive.
D. It may lead to disharmony in family relations.
35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.
B. Smokers are less likely to develop cancer than non-smokers.
C. People who smoke at home in Thailand will be sent to prison.
D. Thailand is committed to creating a smoke-free environment.

Things Emotionally Intelligent People Don’t Do
Here are five things emotionally intelligent people, as a rule, avoid.
They don’t complain.
Instead of looking for someone or something to blame, they immediately think of how to constructively address the dilemma. 36. So they search for private, effective ways—whether it’s taking a yoga class or simply getting their feelings out on the page.
They don’t always say yes—to others and themselves.
37. Emotionally intelligent people are well aware that a second glass of wine will lead to negative consequences the next morning. The more often emotionally intelligent people exercise their right to say no, the freer they are to concentrate on their ambitions and overall well-being.
They don’t count on others for happiness or confidence.
Emotionally intelligent people are confident in all manners of life, including their contentment and peace of mind. They have learned that to rely on someone else to make them feel joyful or worthy is to put themselves at risk of disappointment and hopelessness. 38.
39.
People who exist more in their past than in their present are likely to suffer a lot of mental and spiritual grievance(不满). Emotionally intelligent people honor their past—the mistakes they have made or the opportunities they’ve missed. But they are minding the importance of living just in the here and now.
They don’t gossip.
Emotionally acute people sidestep gossip as determinedly as they skirt drama. To involve themselves in shameful talk, they know, is to shame another for a supposed error—and an emotionally intelligent person understands that all humans equally deserve respect. 40.
A. They don’t care about the past.
B. They don’t let go of the past uncomfortably.
C. They started to complain, but found it didn’t help at all.
D. They know their complaints affect those around them badly.
E. Self-control is a sure sign of an emotionally solid person.
F. Instead, they take their emotions in their own hands.
G. They also know what others might treat as a mistake is an opportunity for improvement.

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man 41 out of a garbage can.
