The farm has been in the family for 105 years. Daley said while she was pulling the carrots she noticed one of them looked strange. She almost fed it to her dog but decided to keep it. When she was washing the carrots, she noticed the ring and spoke to her husband, Grams’son, about what she had found.They quickly called Grams. “I told her we foun d her ring in the garden. She couldn’t believe it, ”Daley said. “It was so strange that the carrot grew perfectly through that ring. ”Grams said she wanted to try the ring on again after so many years.

Shawna Reynolds has seen some of those women up close while working in the corrections system(劳教所) for 17 years, and she was encouraged to try something different.After seven years of education and collecting as much money as she could, Shawna created About Face Course Correction-a one-year rehabilitation program(康复项目) that offers a more personal way to help non-violent women prisoners. The program includes classes for women to finish their education, find a job and so on.“You can’t expect people who have been in prison to stay in prison,”Shawna says.“YOU want them to be helpful people but if you are not going to help them, it’s not going to happen.”The women live free for a year in a house in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. A 20-year-old woman ,Jennifer Douglas, who dropped out of school, took drugs (吸毒)，and has spent years in and out of prison, says, “I was doing things I would never have thought I would do in my whole life.” Because of About Face, Jennifer’s life is changing. “Everyone is starting to trust me again and proud of me and what I’m doing,” she says. “It’s helped me a lot.It has kept me on the right track.”There are many other women like Jennifer. Every woman’s story is different, but each woman is important. And Shawna is determined to break the cycle and help them turn their lives around. She is using her own money and donations to pay for the house and this program. If you would like to donate, please visit their Go Fund Me account here.4.

Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立) with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University of California, Berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures—polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing Scholar, who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said.“Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,” said Peng. “The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really d on’t need to find the truth, or maybe there isn’t any.” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions(矛盾). They do far less blaming（责备）of the individual than do Americans, he added.In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “non-compromising(折中), blaming one side—usually the mother — for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no comp romise” in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry, blaming American method, the Chinese were paragons(模范) of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.8．In Paragraph 1, the author sets examples in order to ___.A．expose the contradiction between Chinese and AmericansB．show the differences between Chinese culture and American cultureC．find the reason for the differencesD．generalize the main idea of the passage9．In the opinion of Peng, compared with Americans, Chinese are ___.A. likely to find the truth in lifeB. unwilling to admit their own failureC. unwilling to have a general idea of thingsD. likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things10．The studies show ___.A．an American treats his or her mother badlyB．different ideas of treating the agedC．different personality of Chinese and AmericansD．different hobbies of Americans and Chinese11．The main idea of the passage is ___.A．polarities between American and Chinese cultures B．extreme ends of the stringC．different attitudes towards the aged D．different manners in social occasionsDSport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological(心理的) and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their pa rents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of l earning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults wit h youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.12. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is____________.A. to make sport less competitiveB. to reduce their mental stressC. to increase their sense of successD. to make sport more challenging13. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people because____________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it enables them to find faults in themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves14.

According to the passage parents and coaches should___________.A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportB. help children to win every gameC. train children to deal with stressD. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
