26、It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company. After all, the day is celebrated with special sales and brunches, lots of presents and massive advertising campaigns. But the day was actually conceived more than a century ago by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.

Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.

When Jarvis was young, she overheard her mother praying, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will find a memorial mother’s day honoring her for the matchless service she offers to humanity in every field of life.” When her mom died in 1905, Jarvis looked through all the sympathy cards she received. She underlined all the kind words that praised her mother, reading them over and over. The outpouring of kindness for her mother inspired her to create a day to honor all mothers.

The white carnation was her mother’s favorite flower, so it became the symbol for the day. She said it symbolized the truth, purity and charity of a mother’s love. Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.

The first official Mother’s Day events were held on May 10. 1908, at the church where her mother taught Sunday School in Grafton, West Virginia, and at the Wanamaker’s department store auditorium（礼堂）in Philadelphia. Jarvis didn’t attend the event in Grafton, but she sent 500 white carnations.

【1】What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 1?

A．Thought up

B．Figured out.

C．Found out.

D．Believed in.

【2】What do we know about Jarvis’s mother?

A．She created Mother’s Day.

B．She was active in social work.

C．She joined in the American Civil War.

D．She taught Jarvis how to care for children.

【3】How did Jarvis advise children to celebrate Mother’s Day?

A．Pray for their mother’s happiness.

B．Send some flowers to their mothers.

C．Write a letter to thank their mothers.

D．Accompany their mothers to the celebration.

D．The Founding of Mother’s Day

27、   The U.S. high school dropout rate has fallen in recent years, with the number of dropouts declining from 1 million in 2012 to about 750,000 in 2016, according to a new study released on Tuesday. The number of “dropout factories" — high schools in which fewer than 60 percent of freshmen graduate in four years—declined significantly during the same period.

"Clear progress is being made," said Bob Wise, a former West Virginia governor who heads the Alliance for Excellent Education, one of the organizations that published the study. “It’s not a total success yet. We shouldn't take a victory lap. But we can at least start warming up.”

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said the improving graduation rate serves as evidence that the nation's public schools are making progress. But there are many reasons that graduation rates can rise, and not all of them have to do with stronger schools preparing more students for life after high school.

Alabama, for example，made outsize gains in 2014: Its graduation fate jumped more than six percentage points, the second-biggest increase in the nation. But the increase coincided with a policy change that took in the same year: Alabama students no longer had to pass a high school exit exam to earn a diploma. So what looks like a major improvement stemmed at least in part from easier requirements.

It is also not clear how many students are graduating with the skills they need for the workplace or for college. Graduation requirements vary widely across states, and many states offer multiple levels of diplomas with different requirements.

Arizona students can earn a standard diploma that requires four courses in math, four in English and three in science, according to Achieve, a nonprofit organization that has studied graduation requirements in each state. But Arizona students also can earn a “Grand Canyon" diploma, which requires just two courses each in math, science and English—less than many colleges require for admission.

【1】The passage is meant to say that   .

A.there are few dropouts in U. S. high schools

B.the U.S. high school dropout rate has fallen

C.the number of “dropout factories" has increased

D.the number of high school students is increasing

【2】The underlined phrase “coincided with" in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by .

A.led to B.agreed with C.conflicted with D.contradicted with

【3】What do we know about the “Grand Canyon" diploma in Arizona?

A.Students need to put more efforts into it.

B.It's much required for colleges in Arizona.

C.Students who get it won't necessarily be admitted to colleges.

D.It' s more difficult to get than a standard diploma.

28、My name is Jaimic Eckert and I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup after disasters. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference for young adults, which is where I fell in love with my husband-to-be, who was on my team of co-volunteers. Since getting married in 2013, we’ve been living in Beirut, Lebanon. I actually have an online coaching business but I’ve had many opportunities to volunteer with projects for Syrian refugees(难民) and youth education.

Volunteering has been a way of life for me for a very long time, and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I was leading out a project that provided food boxes to Syrian refugee families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I literally stuffed the food package with extra treats...dates, nuts, olive oil and sweets. We took the package unannounced and ended up arriving just as the Syrian family was sitting down on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing more than a few pieces of bread and a pot of tea. The mother was in tears as she received us. I’ll never forget their gratitude.

Another time, back when I was in college in the US, a group of friends and I volunteered to drive to a distant church that was way out in the suburb and had only a few elderly members. The building was in disrepair and the churchyard needed attention. We stayed the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the church. I’ll never forget how new life sparkled in her eyes. She couldn’t repair broken doors or pull weeds, but her love for us was unmatched. It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts that we made. Sometimes, volunteer work is fulfilling not because of the actual job you get done, but because of how your presence impacts the people around you.

Volunteering makes me a better person because it gets me outside of myself. It puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have.

【1】In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.

A．provide an explanation

B．introduce a topic

C．reach a conclusion

D．propose a definition

【2】What does Paragraph 2 focus on?

A．We brought food to Syrian families.

B．Ramadan is the most important holiday season in Islam.

C．Volunteering affects people in some way.

D．Volunteering is a way of Eckert’s life.

【3】Why was the old lady happy?

A．Because finally someone came to comfort them in the church.

B．Because she could clean and repair the church with us.

C．Because of our presence and help.

D．Because we made efforts to entertain her.

【4】What message does the story convey?

A．Eckert’s volunteer dream.

B．What volunteering means to Eckert.

C．How volunteering has changed Eckert’s life.

D．Eckert volunteers for Syrian refugees.

【5】What is the author’s attitude towards volunteering?

A．Critical.

B．Objective.

C．Indifferent.

D．Positive.

29、Building the thinking habit is important because it helps you live with a purpose. How can we build the thinking habit? Here are some tips.

Be curious

Curiosity is powerful. 【1】 It also helps you recognize the ideas when they come. Curiosity is an important attitude to have in building the thinking habit.

Read widely

If you want to come up with good ideas, you need to feed your mind with good ideas. 【2】This will give you fresh, new ideas. Don’t just read from the fields you are familiar with. Read from other fields as well.

Read actively

Not only should you read widely, but also you should read actively. Find some ideas and think about how you can use them. My favorite way to do this is by highlighting the book I read. I will then put the actionable ideas in my idea journal (笔记). 【3】

Keep an idea journal

When you find a good idea, don’t just keep it in your mind. Instead, write it down to catch the idea. 【4】 Keeping an idea journal makes you more sensitive to new ideas. You will quickly recognize them because you already have the habit of catching ideas.

【5】

Of course, it doesn’t do you much good if you just write down ideas. Take time to read these ideas every now and then. In my case, I mark the ideas that I consider important and review them regularly. This often opens the way to new ideas.

A．Design your own ideas

B．Go over your ideas

C．In this way, others can also benefit from your ideas.

D．One way to do that is to read.

E．Otherwise, the idea might be gone forever.

F．It makes you like finding new ideas.

G．This helps me get the most out of the book.
