As a kid, my life was like a kid adventure movie. My parents always played the parts of1 actors in the movie, leaving me as the shining star.
My father could2 anything even if he was not a repairman, He always seemed to know exactly where he was going, and knew the most efficient3 to get there. I never heard him express any doubts. His air of4 made our home a safe place.
But since I became a father myself, I've come to5 that my dad must have had moments of confusion. It never showed, and we never talked about it. I also began to6 my father's efforts as he worked7 to provide for his family. Later I8 stories about his dreams—9 in the name of being a "father". Despite his talent in baseball, he gave up that10 career to become my dad. I began to understand the balancing act he faced: family vs. the dampened11 of his own soul.

2、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
From the moment we wake up each day, we're faced with a continuous stream of choices. when there are too many options. This is called decision fatigue (疲劳)a state of mental overload that can impede(妨碍)our ability to make additional decisions..
When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don't have the mental energy to deal with more decisions. .As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren't in line with your goals or values, experts say.
Here's how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:
.Some easy ways to do this: When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples, and buy the same brands each time..And if you're trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time to it every day.
Tune in to how you're feeling. Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: if you've had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn't normally upset you start bothering you, consider it a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. "People may not realize that they're experiencing decision fatigue," Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says.
A. It's something to watch out for
B. Make some choices automatically
C. They should turn to experts for advice
D. Put down what you have in hand and take a break from it
E. This can lead to decisional disfunction and decreased self-control
F. If you like having oatmeal for breakfast, stick with it on a daily basis
G. We tend to feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts -

Self-regulation, i.e., the ability to manage attention, emotions and impulses, as well as to pursue individual goals with perseverance, is not a skill that we usually associate with young children. However, studies show that people who demonstrated self-regulation as children go on to have on average higher income, better health and greater life satisfaction.
An international team used a randomized controlled study in elementary schools involving more than 500 first graders. The research team was able to show that even a short training unit led to a significant and sustainable improvement in self-regulation. The training did not just affect self-regulation abilities; the children had significantly improved reading ability and an improved focus on careless mistakes one year after the training, and were also considerably more likely to be admitted to a selective academic secondary school three years after the training.
The training units were based on the MCII (Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions)Strategy, which has already been the subject of excellent research studies in adults and older students. The teachers presented the abstract strategy in a playful manner using a picture book and the role model of a hurdle jumper. In the first step, the children imagined the positive effects of reaching a goal. They contrasted them with the obstacles that they might face on the way (Mental Contrasting). The children then identified specific behaviors to face the obstacles and develop "when-then" plans(Implementation Intentions).
"The special feature of the study is the long-term ripple effects that this short training unit can have. These effects benefit the child, and they are transferred in many ways to society as a whole over the course of the child's life," says Daniel Schunk, a professor of public and behavioral economics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. "The fact that early investments in such fundamental skills not only benefit the child alone, but also society, should be given more attention to in education policy."
(1)、What can be learned from the first paragraph?A、Children have no self-regulation ability. B、Perseverance is the key to one's success. C、Rich people are more likely to regulate themselves. D、Children with self-control will enjoy their lives later on.(2)、What may happen after children receive the training?A、They focus more on grades. B、They do better academically. C、They can write more efficiently. D、They make no careless mistakes.(3)、Why a picture book is used in the training?A、To attract more children to the training. B、To help promote children's imagination. C、To better teach children how to reach a goal. D、To make it easier for children to understand.(4)、What is Daniel Schunk's attitude to the study?A、Optimistic. B、Suspicious. C、Cautious. D、Ambiguous. -

One day, a young man went to Dr. Conwell and told him he wanted a college education but couldn't afford it. Dr. Conwell decided, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being a man of the cloth. He decided to build a university for unfortunate, but deserving, students. He did have a challenge, however. He would need a few million dollars to build the university. For Dr. Conwell, and anyone with real purpose in life, nothing could stand in the way of his goal.
Several years before this incident, Dr. Conwell was attracted by a true story with its ageless moral. The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became excited about looking for diamonds. Diamonds were already discovered in abundance on the African continent and this farmer got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars' worth of diamonds that he sold his farm to head for the diamond line. He wandered all over the continent, constantly searching for diamonds, wealth, which he never found. Eventually he went completely broke and threw himself into a river and died.
Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm picked up an unusual-looking rock about the size of an egg and put it on his mantle(斗篷) as a sort of curiosity. A visitor stopped by. He told the new owner that the funny-looking rock was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found. The new owner shouted, "God, the whole farm is covered with them."
The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine, the richest the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally standing on "Acres of Diamonds" until he sold his farm.
Dr. Conwell learned from the story of the farmer and continued to teach it moral. Opportunity does not just come along; it is there all the time-we just have to see it. Dr. Conwell told the story over and over again on many occasions for raising money to start the college for poor students. In fact, he raised nearly six million dollars and the university he founded, Temple University in Philadelphia, has at least ten degree-granting colleges and six other schools.
(1)、What caused Dr. Conwell to build a university?A、His wife's suggestion. B、A young man's requirement. C、A millionaire's donation. D、His education experience.(2)、Why did the farmer give up his farm?A、He wanted to wander around the world. B、He planned to build a university. C、He threw himself into a river. D、He meant to seek his fortune.(3)、In which condition did the new owner find the Kimberly Diamond Mine?A、He exchanged his rock for eggs. B、He sold his mantles to visitors. C、He decorated his mantle by a rock. D、He sorted out the whole farm.(4)、Which of the following best describes Dr. Conwell?A、Adaptable. B、Considerate. C、Disciplined. D、Purposeful. -

After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest,46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽),and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer"forest healing" (森林治愈);the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm.
There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it.
"We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet."We think other things will, like shopping or TV."But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion.
So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates.
Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street.
Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.
In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that' s as it should be.
(1)、What is Kang Byoung-wook doing?A、Getting lost in nature. B、Building up his strength. C、Trying to control a forest fire. D、Helping firefighters under stress.(2)、What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors?A、It is overlooked by people. B、It has nothing to do with happiness. C、South Koreans show great interest in it. D、We need more evidence for its benefits.(3)、What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find?A、It affects people's feelings. B、It lowers the risks of diseases. C、It helps improve mental performance. D、It does more good than physical exercise.(4)、What would be the best title for the text?A、Your life in forests B、Your brain on nature C、The future of forest healing D、The benefits of a stress-free life -
18、阅读下列材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两断,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was a fifth grader. She was considered one of the most popular girls in her class. She was very pretty, but that was not why she was considered popular. She was popular because she was known to be among the brightest in her class. She could do the most cartwheels in a row, but mostly, she had the talent to dance.
In February, she entered the school's dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. Since that day, she had been the class attraction. In December, the school was holding another dance competition, but there had been a change in the competition. The competition had to be done in pairs.
Jenny's class was looking up to her with high expectations of her winning again this year. On the other hand, Jenny was unsure of this competition outcome. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no to her because they did not know how to dance. Jenny was becoming hesitant about joining.
She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Jenny and Carl had known each other since the first grade. Carl was unwilling to join at first because he also didn't know how to dance. Jenny insisted. He eventually agreed to join the competition. Jenny was happy and relieved. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win this year's competition.
All she needed was some time and practice in order to increase her chances of winning. This time, it was going to be more of a challenge considering the fact that Carl was not a good dancer. The competition was in two months, and only time could predict her chances of winning.
After selecting Carl as her partner, Jenny needed to start planning for the dance competition at her school.
Jenny and Carl went up to the stage and were ready to perform.
