C
At first sight,Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom.Broken shoes,a little bit of dirt behind his ear,some kind of bread around his mouth,though,the dirt on Ronny’s face told me he didn’t get dirty at school.
I worked with all the students on a one-on-one basis to improve their reading skills.Each day,Ronny's eyes followed me as I set up in a corner,asking,“Pick me!”When it was Ronny's turn,he'd run across the room immediately.He tried to sound out “Bud the Sub.”It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment.
At the end of this year,I gave him a book as an award for his improvement in reading.Tears rolled down his face, together with the dirt as he held the book tightly to his chest.
A few days later,I noticed Ronny on his seat,the book open on top of his legs.I could see his lips move as he read to himself.His teacher appeared beside me.“He hasn't put that book down.He wears it like a shirt,close to his heart.Did you know that's the first book he's ever actually had?”Fighting back tears,I got closer to Ronny and placed my hand on his shoulder,then asked, “will you read me your book,Ronny?”He looked up.And then,for the next few minutes,he read to me with more expression and confidence than I'd ever thought possible from him.The pages were already dog-eared,like the book had been read thousands of times already.When he finished reading,Ronny closed his book, and said with great pleasure,“Good book.”
What a powerful contribution*it had made in the life of a disadvantaged child.At that moment I knew I would become serious about my own writing and do what that writer had done and probably still does--care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life,care enough to make a difference.
38.The underlined word "impediment" in Paragraph 2 has the closest meaning to      .
A.skill             B.problem              C.voice                 D.gift

A.got the very book he had been looking for    
B.was very happy to have a book of his own 
C.felt sorry for his slow progress in reading     
D.got a gift from his teachers for the first time
40.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Ronny’s improvement in reading
B.Ronny’s new book from the writer
C.Ronny’s thanks to the writer
D.The happiness on Ronny’s face
41.What kind of person do you think of Ronny is?

Stephen Hawking is more than just a physicist. Throughout his career,Hawking has helped us better understand the planet,but at the same timeourselves.
“I’m just a child who has never grown up.I still keep asking these ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions. Once in a while,I find an answer.”Hawking reminds us to stay as curious as we once were as children.Not everything is impossible,and through the impossibility,we can discover answers just by asking questions.Sometimes we might not get the answer we want,but that shouldn’t hold us back from questioning everything.Life itself is one big question mark,and we’ll never truly stop asking others and ourselves for the answers.
“If I had to choose a superhero to be,I would pick Superman.He’s everything that I’m not. ”Hawking,through smart and successful,still dreams like everyone else,as he suffers from ALS*and sits in a wheelchair.Hawking might not have the super power like Superman,but he is much smarter than any comic book superhero.Hawking has found answers to so many questions and continues to impress*the world.He serves as a great example in never giving up.Sometimes you might find yourself trying to give up,but Hawking shows that setting your mind to a goal and going for it is what being human is all about.
“The past,like the future,is not certain and it has many possibilities. ”From this,I see how important living presently really is.Our life is full of possibilities.we have the power to do things so great,but these things are only accomplished*in the now.We can look to the past,seeing the possibilities that were given and think of the possibilities to come in the future.We should go out and do something right now.
“The quality I would most like to magnify*is empathy*.It brings us together in a peaceful,loving state. ”Empathy means to have a feeling if understanding and being able to share another person’s experiences and feelings.Rather than some difficult research about the universe,empathy,according to Hawking,is what will save mankind*.The idea of having empathy seems simple enough,yet it’s something we sometimes struggle with.I don’t think any one person lacks empathy but I do think that empathy is something that takes practice.And that practi
