Two decades ago, Tropical Storm Allison hit Houston. More than 70,000 houses were flooded, including the home of Sarah Feldman and her family.
At the time, they were in Connecticut on vacation, so they didn’t know what kind of damage they were going to face when they got home to Texas. But then Feldman’s grandparents called with bad news: all of her books had been destroyed in the flooding. Feldman was 14 at the time and loved reading.
To cheer her up, Feldman’s father took her to the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University. When they arrived, she started a conversation with Bill Carver, a man who worked at the library.
“I asked him a bunch of questions like, ‘How do you keep all these rare books? What’s the oldest book you have?’” Feldman remembered. Carver answered all of Feldman’s questions. When she told him about her books being destroyed, he told her that he would send her a book in the mail, so she could restart her collection.
After returning to Houston, she received his gift, titled The Medieval Book by Barbara Shailor. Carver included a note that read:
Dear Sarah,
I have often thought of you and your family, and that terrible flood… As promised, with the letter is a rather scholarly book, which may be slightly mature(成熟) for your age, but I thought it might help you shape your new library collection. And as the years progress, this book may grow in value to you. Have a happy holiday season. Wish you and your loved ones all the best.
Yours,
Bill Carver
A lot has changed since Feldman received that book. Feldman is in her 30s now. She’s married and has a dog. But Carver’s gift has made a lifelong impact. “I’m interested in medieval art,” Feldman said. Feldman has tried to find Carver, but with no success. If she could speak to him today, she would like to tell him how much that small gesture meant to her.

Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other members of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones. Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames (姓), were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a small river; someone called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter — a person who made pots and pans. The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added “-s” or “-son”. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added “Mac” or “Mc” or “O”. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
28．Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A．Places where people lived. B．People’s characters.
C．Talents that people had. D．People’s occupations.
29．According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably .
A．owned or drove a cart B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools D．built houses and furniture
30．Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named .
A．Beatrice Smith B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet D．Donald Greenwood
31．The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s .
A．later generations B．friends and relatives
C．colleagues and partners D．helpers and supporters

What’s the size of a soccer ball but can jump from the Statue of Liberty’s feet to her eye level?
A new record-setting robot.
A mechanical engineer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Hawkes has been working on this robot for seven years. “It started out as a stick with weights and rubber bands (橡皮筋),” he recalls. After years of work, the robot has reached heights of 30 meters, higher than any other jumping robot or living animal. This robot’s legs are made of carbon fiber, a super-strong material. Rubber bands add extra spring but also help hold the legs together.
These researchers studied how animals jump. They looked into leaping (跳跃的) frogs, spiders, kangaroos, dogs and more. But Hawkes’ group didn’t want to copy any of these animals. Instead, the team learned what features set the limits for animal jumpers.
“It’s very exciting,” says Cynthia Sung, a roboticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, who was not involved in the new study. She was impressed with how high the robot leapt. And getting as high as possible was the main goal here. However, for the robot to be of great use, it will need some improvements. “They don’t have any steering (转向装置) at all,” notes Sung. That means this robot can’t control its jump height or direction. Sung’s team has made their own jumping robot, named REBOund. That robot can’t jump very high. But it can be programmed to jump to any of several different heights.
Hawkes’ team is working to add steering to their robot. These researchers hope to send their robot to the moon, so they also want to find a way for it to make collections there. A jumper can go to places a robot with wheels can’t. “This type of robot could leap into the bottom of a crater (火山口), take samples and return to a wheeled rover (探测器),” points out Hawkes. His team is already working with NASA．They hope to turn their robot into a space explorer.
32．Why did the researchers look into frogs?
A．To draw inspiration for the robot’s appearance. B．To find reasons for their jumping limits.
C．To make the robot jump like them. D．To develop new type of rubber bands.
33．What does Cynthia Sung want to show through her words?
A．Her REBOund is much better. B．Her REBOund is a big breakthrough.
C．Hawkes’ new robot needs to be more useful. D．Hawkes’ new robot can jump much higher.
34．What is Hawkes’ team’s attitude to their robot?
A．They have high hopes for it. B．They are doubtful about it.
C．They seem uninterested in it D．They are very concerned about it.
35．What would be the best title for the text?
A．A new potential way to explore the moon B．A new record-setting leaping robot
C．A new approach to jumping higher D．A new method of building robots

What’ s a micro activity? I consider this question about the word “micro” whenever it appears.
36 Quite literally, it means “extremely small”. But in this article, a micro activity will refer to something which takes up no more than five minutes of your time.
The following recommendations are micro activities you should do for your body.
Self-Massage (自我按摩)
Self-massaging should become a part of your daily musts. 37 As we get older, our muscles (肌肉) tighten. But if we self-massage, these muscles will feel cared for. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage can reduce stress and increase relaxation.
Intensive Exercise
There are many benefits of intensive exercise (高强度运动). And do you know what else it does for your body? It makes your body realize it can do so much more. In less than five minutes, the goal is to break a sweat. This can be from running or lifting weights. 38
Let Loose
Whether it be dancing, skipping or something else, our body should do whatever it feels like doing without judgment. 39 Thus we will feel happy and relaxed.
Be Still
40 Your body loves movement. But we must find a few moments of stillness throughout our day. By devoting ourselves to more stillness, we can find ourselves more at peace and less stressed even under hard circumstances.
A．Did you regret doing it?
B．What does it really mean?
C．Don’t give yourself too much pressure.
D．It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth or taking a shower.
E．Every activity involves some sort of movement.
F．The playful nature helps bring out the inner child and promotes creativity and joy.
G．It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, so long as you bring intensity to that workout.
