When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels(辅助轮) on my bike as long as possible.
Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this
changed.
All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids

bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper
bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my
friends asked me about my training wheels?
With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the
first big change I’d ever made on my own.
I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We
went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and
took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.
I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push
before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its
place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!
My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My
accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something,
I could achieve it.
24. What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day?
A. Have their bikes checked. B. Ride outside for fun.
C. Acquire bike safety skills. D. Remove the training wheels.
25. What does the underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 3) refer to?
A. The author’s friends. B. The author’s parents.
C. The safety problems. D. The training wheels.
26. What happened when the author finally rode without the training wheels?
A. She felt extremely embarrassed. B. Everything turned out to be easy.
C. She ended up flat on the ground. D. Her sisters followed her example.
27. What does the author think is necessary for her to achieve a goal?
A. Patience. B. Determination. C. Pressure. D. Concentration.
C
Empathy(同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know
how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but
high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for
those around them.
What Is Empathy? — Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values.
Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone’s feelings; criminals often take advantage of people

by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that.
Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of
another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts,
in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents
relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to
emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They
learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning
that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty
jug cannot fill a cup.
It’s a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their
emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them
about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are
experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a
situation where a response is required.
28. Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?
A. Because people tend to center themselves. B. Because everyone lacks empathy.
C. Because empathy is a strange quality. D. Because it’s better to give than to receive.
29. Which situation can empathy be used in?
A. When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.
B. When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.
C. When a criminal is cheating a victim.
D. When a dancer is dancing to music.
30. What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup” mean?
A. An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.
B. It’s a must to talk to kids about emotions.
C. Adults should set an example to kids.
D. Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to train kids to have empathy.
B. How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.

C. How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.
D. Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.
D
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to
help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake
volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that
motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to
unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer
positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need
to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service,
some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift
people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an
external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less
likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer
activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this
question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For
instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that
influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer
positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers
note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome
situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the
degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for
whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue
volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to
statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the
researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity
and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice:
“Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role

identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can
help strengthen role identity”.
32. People volunteer mainly out of ______.
A. academic requirements B. social expectations
C. financial rewards D. internal needs
33. What can we learn from the Florida study?
A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.
C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.
34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.
C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors
C. How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities

Does a Dog Help a Teen with Low Self-esteem?
A dog is known as man’s best friend for good reason. Loyal and affectionate, a dog companion can
enrich its owner’s life in many ways. ___36___ Many teenagers suffer from periods of low self-esteem(自
尊) as they try to navigate the wavy(起伏的) waters of adolescence and deal with all of its associated highs
and lows.
A teenager who lacks self-esteem may feel isolated from his peers and unable to tell his parents about
personal issues. The company of a dog can be a huge comfort and ease feelings of loneliness and
awkwardness. A dog offers genuine unconditional love. ___37___
All dogs need exercise, so taking his dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity for a teenager to get
outdoors and benefit from fresh air and physical activity. Exercise allows people to take control of their
bodies, which is often the first step toward regaining control of other aspects of their life, says mental
health specialist Dr. Alan Cohen. ___38___ Exercise releases chemicals called endorphins(内啡肽) into the
brain, which create positive responses in the body, including improved self-esteem.
Dogs can help teenagers be more sociable and make new friends, suggests HELPGUIDE.
___39____ A dog is a great ice-breaker, avoiding awkward social situations and putting the teenager at ease
with people he meets. The more confident the teen becomes when out and about with his dog, the more his
