“The value of people cannot be defined，” this is the philosophy by which Majda Gibran，better known in Egypt as “Mama Maggie”，lives.She devoted over three decades of her life to serving the less fortunate.Her work empowered over 33,000 children in Cairo to achieve their potential and successfully leave Cairo’s slums(贫民窟)．
Her story begins with what was meant to be a quick visit to the slums in Cairo.She knew right away she would devote the rest of her life to helping those in need，especially children.The scenes of poverty in the slums forever changed her life.Mama Maggie soon abandoned the comforts of her previous life and quit her job as an American University professor to lend a helping hand to those who needed her most.
She began sharing meals，gifts and basic necessities to less fortunate families in the slums.Her warmth and sincerity gave residents a sense of hope and dignity.In 1985，Mama Maggie founded the Stephen’s Children Foundation，with the mission to empower children and young people to lead their own development and lift them out of poverty.The foundation provides education and training to thousands of children living in poverty.Over the last few years，the foundation has extended its social and educational initiatives to thousands of families and children in other poor neighborhoods.
To date，Mama Maggie has established 92 educational centres nationwide to teach over 18,000 children and carried out healthcare campaigns that provide treatment to over 40,000 patients annually.She conducts visits to more than 13,000 children to provide training services.Her foundation’s three training centres for mothers and children empower families to earn their own income.Her foundation has benefited over 33,000 children，with the help of about 2,000 volunteers，and it is still growing today.
Mama Maggie，a Nobel Prize nominee(被提名人)，never sought fame or reward for her work.She desires to be remembered as a hope maker who made a difference in the lives of every person that crossed her path.

Humans spend about one third of their lives sleeping.But some mammals(哺乳动物)，like the northern elephant seal，survive with much less sleep.
Researchers in a new study described the unusual sleep pattern of these ocean animals.They found that when these mammals go to feed on trips that can last seven months，they sleep just two hours each day.Those two hours of sleep are made up of short moments of rest lasting only 10 minutes each as they dive deep to avoid predators(捕食者)．The only other mammals known to get so little sleep are African elephants.
The researchers placed a head covering with sensors(传感器) on the heads of the seals that they studied.The sensors recorded sleep signals created by the seals’ brains and heart rate.The sensors also recorded the animals’ location and depth beneath the sea.Female seals go out on longer open-ocean trips while males only feed in coastal waters.Because of this，the researchers only studied female seals.
During dives lasting about 30 minutes，the seals went into a deep sleep called slow-wave sleep while keeping a controlled downward movement.When they then experienced rapid-eye-movement(REM) sleep，the seals fell into a turning pattern.Then，at the deepest point of their sleeping dive—up to 377 meters deep—they woke up and swam back to the surface.
Terrie Williams is a scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who helped write the study.She said，“It is remarkable that a wild animal will fall into deep，paralytic REM sleep when there are predators on the hunt.” She added that the seals solve this problem by going into deep sleep in the deep parts of the oceans where predators usually do not hunt them.
Williams said the brain’s ability to control awakening the sleeping seals at a depth before they drown is also a discovery about how mammalian brains work.She commented on this，saying that it shows the survival control of the seals’ brains.
28．Why did researchers only study female elephant seals
A．They like living in groups more than males.
B．They are friendlier to humans.
C．They are more convenient to follow.
D．They go to feed on longer trips.
29．What were the elephant seals doing when they were in deep sleep
A．Falling into deeper sea. B．Swimming fast in the sea.
C．Moving back to the surface. D．Breathing deeply and slowly.
30．What’s the advantage of elephant seals’ sleep in the deep parts of the oceans
A．They hunt for more food. B．They avoid being hunted.
C．They get completely relaxed. D．They control their sleep pattern.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Different Animals Need Different Sleep
B．Short Sleep Helps Elephant Seals Move Deeper into Sea
C．Female Elephant Seals Sleep Only Two Hours a Day
D．Male and Female Elephant Seals Feed in Different Areas
D
Scientists have created a skin patch that can communicate touch virtually.The soft wireless device sticks to the skin and produces vibrations.Its creators hope it could one day be used to help people bring touch online，in phone calls and games.
The patch links up to devices like smartphones，enabling users to send sensations to the wearer.By making use of near-field communication，seen in electronic payment in smartphones，its designers were able to make the piece of tech wireless and battery-free.A set of 32 actuators help to copy the sensation of touch on the wearer’s skin，while a Link allows users to adjust the frequency and amplitude of each actuator.
“We specially made the designs to increase the sensory perception of the vibratory force passed to the skin，” explained John A．Rogers，professor of Materials Science and engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University.
Rogers，who is also professor of Neurological Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine，said in a statement that people have tried to make similar technology，but they involved problems like wires or batteries.
“We feel that it’s a good starting point that will go up naturally to full-body systems and hundreds or thousands of separate，programmable actuators，” he said.“We are expanding the boundaries and capabilities of virtual reality.”
Rogers said the equipment “could be very powerful for social interactions，clinical medicine and applications that we cannot conceive of today.”
“Virtual reality is a new rising area of technology，” Rogers added.“At present，we’re just using our eyes and our ears as the basis for those experiences.The community has been comparatively slow to take advantage of the body’s largest organ：the skin.Our sense of touch provides the most profound，deepest，emotional connection between people.”
32．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How the skin patch works. B．What the skin patch is made up of.
C．What the skin patch looks like. D．Why the skin patch is developed.
33．What does the underlined part “conceive of” in the last but one paragraph mean
A．Adopt. B．Prevent. C．Abandon. D．Imagine.
34．What does Rogers’ statement in the last paragraph show
A．He worries about people’s emotional connection between people.
B．He is doubtful about more virtual reality experiences.
C．He expects the further development of virtual reality.
D．He is curious about the community’s long-term planning.
35．What is the purpose of this article
A．To persuade. B．To inform.
C．To argue. D．To advertise.

Choosing the Right Path to Be a “Better” Person
Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement.In the rush to achieve，the idea of being “better” can become lost sometimes.You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way. 36
·Explore your talents.
Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests.So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you.
37 For example，people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club，but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be.Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’ll enjoy.
· 38
No matter how much money you make，you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate.It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.
If you’re particularly unhappy at your job，consider why. 39 If you feel your job isn’t meaningful，or isn’t in line with your values，consider finding another job.
·Experience something new.
Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone，we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it. 40 Because of that，we may react slowly to our own positive experiences.It’s important to have new experiences and interactions with others，even when those are a little scary.Doing so can help you achieve more.
A．Do what you love.
B．Here are some tips for you.
C．Register in a class you’re interested in.
D．Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.
E．It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling.

When I was in middle school，my family moved to Seattle，where my parents started their new business—a small grocery store downstairs my house.As a girl of shy and reserved nature，I had to take a fresh start to fit into the city life.
One sunny day，my school announced an exciting event，a talent show for the local food bank.Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day.A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day.Deep down，I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate.However，my self-doubt held me back，“I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks，and the talent show drew closer.I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma，one of the most popular girls in my class，came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class.“How about singing together in the talent show？” she grinned(笑)．“I heard you singing a tune，along the way back home.I can’t help following you here.” Gosh，I couldn’t believe my ears.Emma，with personality and popularity，acknowledged my little talent.Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice，I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two？The talent show for the food bank？” my mum bent towards us and her face lit up.“A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head.“Why not practise right now upstairs？I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us，she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing(排练) almost every single day after school.We brainstormed，exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene.As the days rolled by，I was feeling pretty good about our act.But the day before the performance，Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I was completely knocked out by the news.
Finally came the big moment.

第二节 参考范文
I was completely knocked out by the news.Gloomy and desperate，I sat silently in the room for what seemed like ages，unsure of what to do next.Then I started to pace up and down like a caged animal，debating with myself whether or not to go on stage alone.“How can this be possible？” I thought to myself.Fear and anxiety coursed through my veins，and it seemed that all our hard work was in vain.But then the thought of the support and encouragement from Emma and my mum came flooding back to me.It was at the moment that I realized that I couldn’t let self-doubt hold me back.Filled with determination，I resolved to proceed with the performance by myself.
Finally came the big moment.As I stepped onto the stage，I could feel my heart thumping wildly in my chest.Glancing around the hall，I took a deep breath and began to sing.Surprisingly，all my worries suddenly disappeared and a wave of confidence washed over me.I was completely immersed in the joy of performing and the audience was spellbound by the passion in my voice.When I finished my song，the whole hall burst into applause.Tears of joy welled up in my eyes as Emma presented a big bunch of flowers to me，and my mum stood near，winking at us.From that day forward，I learned that by overcoming fears and self-doubts，we can make a difference.
