13、It was the worst day of my professional life. My publisher shut down, and we had no idea if another publisher would take over my novel. In addition, my second novel hadn’t sold as well as the first one. It seemed that I was watching my career going downwards. It was so terrifying.
However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would never forget: “I would love you if you were a garbage man.” She wasn’t looking down upon garbage men. She was just saying that whatever my job was, she loved me. It was just her honest feeling at that moment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today.
To this day, when I sit down to write every day, I say those words to myself, “I’d love you if you were a garbage man.” I can still feel the selflessness of my mother’s love.
A few years ago, my mother passed away because of breast cancer. It was she who set me on the path of writing a series of children’s books to give strength to my own children. The first two are I’m Amelia Earhart and I’m Abraham Lincoln. In six months, we’ll publish I’m Rosa Parks. For me, this isn’t just a book series. It’s my dream for my own daughter, for my sons, and for all of us who need to see the power and potential (潜力) in each of us.
This series was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes. I tell my kids all the time: That’s fame (名气). Fame is different from being a hero. I wanted my kids to see real heroes who are no different than themselves. For this reason, each book tells the story of the hero when he/she was a kid. We see them as children. So it’s not just Amelia Earhart and Abraham Lincoln being famous; it’s them being just like us.
Look around. We live in a world that desires heroes. Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person. I can proudly repeat my mother’s words to my kids. They’ll understand how I love them.
1.The author felt terrified because .
A.he was experiencing a difficult time in his career
B.his mother passed away because of breast cancer
C.he had no idea how to sell his second novel
D.he was given a job as a garbage man
2.What was the author’s understanding of his mum’s words?
A.Mum wanted him to be a garbage man.
B.Mum loved him no matter what he did.
C.Mum was looking down on garbage men.
D.Mum didn’t want him to continue writing novels.
3.What does “themselves” in the fifth paragraph refer to?
A.Real heroes. B.Children’s books. C.The author’s kids. D.Reality TV stars.
4.The author is trying to teach his children to .
A.respect real heroes B.behave themselves
C.be ordinary people D.realize their own potential

15、Research from the World Economic Forum shows that successful people put their mornings to good use. The researchers have listed 14 things that successful people do in the morning before the first meal of the day. These things include exercising, spending time with the family and working on a personal hobby.
The research suggests that we don’t have to do all the 14 things every day. We can choose some of them to start the day. Here are some examples.
Get up early. According to Laura, 90% of CEOs wake up before 6 am on weekdays. PepsiCo CEO(首席执行官) Indra Nooyi, for example, gets up at 4 am and is in the office no later than 7 am. At the same time, Disney CEO Bob gets up at 4:30 to read, and Twitter and Square CEO Jack gets up at 5:30.
Drink water instead of coffee. Drinking water in the morning makes you more active and speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢).
Make your bed. This leads to a happier and more productive day.
Exercise. Exercising in the morning helps reduce stress.
Make a plan for the day. Using the morning to make a plan for the whole day can help you decide what you will do first.

17、 A dragonfly, only an inch and a half long, appears to be animal world's best long distance travelerflying thousands of miles overoceans as it moves from continent to continent----- according to a newly published research.Biologists who lead the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala flavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea, India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Obviously these dragonflies are traveling distances that are quite long for their small size, breeding with each other, and creating a common gene pool.But how do dragonflies from different continents manage to meet and breed? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved. For example, they increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them.
Dragonflies, in fact, have already been found crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. "They are following the weather," says Daniel Troast. "They're going from India where it's dry season to Africa where it's wet season, and they do it once a year.”
Wetness is important for Pantala, and that is why they would take such a dangerous trip. Though many will die on the route, as long as enough make it, the species survives. For the moment, the details of this wonderful insect trip are an educated best guess. Much more work is needed to be done. Ware and Troast hope that scientists can work on figuring out those routes.
1.What shows Pantala flavescens are the world’s longest-distance flyers?
A.Scientists have recorded the dragonfly across the world.
B.The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.
C.There are many Pantala flavescens in different continents.
D.Pantala fiavescens in different continents have similar genes.
2.What may help Pantala flavescens fly over so long distance?
A.Their special body shape. B.Their special and strong wings.
C.Their small and light body. D.Their strong sense of direction.
3.What is necessary for Pantala flavescens to breed?
A.Wet weather. B.Warm places. C.Dry environment. D.Enough sunshine.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Scientists have found the details of the trip.
B.Dragonflies leave India because of the dry season.
C.Dragonflies can hardly survive after such a dangerous trip.
D.The dragonfly is animal world's best short distance traveler.

My grandfather took me to the fishing pond(鱼塘)on the farm when I was about 7 years old, and he asked me to throw a stone into the water.
I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.
"You may make a lot of splashes(浪花)in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you," he said.
"Remember that you are responsible for(负责) what you throw into your circle, and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that the waves that come from your circle send out the peace of your goodness to other circles."
"Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy(嫉妒)will also s
