Children lve it when smene reads a bk t them. They lve funny sunds, rhyming wrds and silly pictures. They lve the sund f their mm r dad’s vice. Smetimes, hwever, their mm r dad can’t read t them, because that parent is in prisn.
Aunt Mary’s Strybk Prject, started in 1993, is nw a natinal prgram that prmtes incarcerated（被监禁的）parents reading t their children. Church r service grups dnate bks and pstage. Incarcerated parents pick ut bks, read them and either vlunteers r prisn wrkers mail the bks and tapes ut t the children. Last May, we distributed 191 bks, meaning that 191 children received a bk and a tape.
The incarcerated readers recrd their bks, fllwed by a persnal message t the child. Smetimes it is amusing listening t strng, tatted（纹身）muscle men making animal sunds r funny vices f different characters. Smetimes all I hear is silence, and then sunds that cnfirm my guess that they are calming themselves after an unexpected wave f feelings.
Seventy percent f children f incarcerated parents eventually end up facing the justice system themselves at sme pint in their lives. Many f these children end up ding hard time in state institutins.
In reality, thugh, they are ding hard time nw as 12-year-lds, 7-year-lds, and even as babies. They grw up thinking that their parent is “bad” and desn’t care. They are ften teased and feel they have t defend themselves r their parent, smetimes in a vilent way.
When they receive in the mail a bk and a tape f their parent reading t them, they hear anther message, “Daddy/Mmmy lves me; he/she has a happy vice; he/she thinks reading is cl.”
Aunt Mary’s Strybk Prject is just a small pill fr ne huge scial illness. But when we think we are merely scratching the surface, at least 191 kids are feeling a little bit better!
24. What d incarcerated parents d in Aunt Mary’s Strybk Prject?
A. They read t their children n a tape.
B. They recrd bks with their children.
C. They meet their children and read t them.
D. They read bks that their children chse.
25. Why is there silence befre sme incarcerated parents speak?
A. They want t speak with feelings. B. They have t cntrl their feelings.
C. They need t cnsider what t say. D. They feel guilty abut what they did.
26. What can we infer abut the children accrding t paragraph 4?
A. They will study law in the future.B. They have t learn t face reality.
C. They gain a lt frm their parents.D. They may becme lawbreakers in the future.
27. What des the authr think f what they d?
A. It is wrth ding. B. It makes little difference.
C. It has great effect n sciety. D. It can change incarcerated parents.

When yu cnsciusly keep thinking f smething, yur uncnscius mind will smehw spntaneusly（自发地）push that idea r issue back t the surface even when yu are ding smething else, because yur uncnscius mind accepts, stres and plays back everything that the cnscius mind fcuses n. The uncnscius mind is like a “yes” persn, agreeing, accepting and reminding.
Hence, yur uncnscius mind can respnd psitively r negatively, depending n hw yu have cnsciusly cnditined it — by cnstantly thinking abut smething. Fr instance, if yu keep telling yurself that it is very difficult t study English r that yur English lecture is bring, then that thught will always crp up uninvited when yu are chatting with smene r ding smething else. That is hw the uncnscius mind wrks. Successful athletes wh cnsciusly, cntinuusly and cnsistently fcus n superir perfrmance actually perfrm well because they are driven by their uncnscius mind. It’s imprtant t understand that whatever yu cnsciusly fcus n, yur uncnscius mind will accept it. Yu need t think psitively s that yur uncnscius mind will respnd likewise. If yu find yurself in a negative md, discntinue that md.
Yu must nt hld a negative thught t lng, r it will cme back again and get mre rted in yur system. Once yu are in a negative system, it wuld take much mre reprgramming t uprt the bad “trees” in yur mind. Yu culd have a full-grwn negative “frest” in yur mind — and that culd take ages t uprt. S replace it with a psitive thught. Affirm（强化）cnsciusly, cntinuusly and cnsistently yur new psitive image. Fcus n the new trait visually and see yurself succeeding in it.
Review yur behavir. D yu man and gran t ften? D yu talk like a lser? Are yu small-minded, selfish and unfrgiving? It’s time yu cnsciusly cnditined yur uncnscius mind t wrk in a psitive manner.
28. What des the underlined phrase “crp up” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Respnd.B. Arise.C. Imprve.D. Occupy.
29. Hw des the authr supprt his idea in paragraph 2?
A. By analyzing relevant statistics.B. By describing his persnal experiences.
C. By explaining causes.D. By prviding examples.
30. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Psitive thughts can replace negative thughts autmatically.
B. Negative thughts are bstacles t yur academic perfrmance.
C. It will take cnsistent effrts t get ut f a negative system.
D. Negative thughts result frm yur negative image in life.
31. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Train Yur Uncnscius Mind
B. Uprt Yur Uncnscius Mind
C. Yur Uncnscius Mind Shapes Yur Character
D. Cnscius Mind Outweighs Uncnscius Mind
D
If smene created a flying machine capable f tracking yu dwn by listening fr yur vice, yu might be terrified. But what if yu were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first respnders culdn’t lcate yu? Maybe then a human-seeking drne wuldn’t be such a terrible idea. That cncept is the fcus fr engineers at Germany’s Fraunhfer FKIE Institute, wh’ve built a drne t find peple by detecting human screams.
“The human-seeking drne wuld be ideal fr pst-disaster situatins, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, ne f the lead engineers. “They culd hver ver an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting t and lcate exactly where peple may be trapped.”
Lcating peple by sund presents its share f challenges. An auditry（听觉的）system wuld need t distinguish human cries frm sunds that ften happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might als need t recgnize patterns assciated with kicking, clapping r ther ways peple try t get the attentin f rescue teams.
Engineers tk thse situatins int accunt when building ut their cncept drne. They recrded themselves screaming, tapping and creating ther nises that might be a sign f peple in truble. Then, they analyzed each sund frequency t find cmmn signatures and used thse t train artificial intelligence sftware. They als wrked t remve the nise created by the drne and ther envirnmental sunds.
Once the sftware part was cmplete, the team placed tiny digital micrphnes under the drne and used signal prcessing techniques that enabled them t track where human nises are cming frm. The micrphnes als enhanced the vlume and clarity f the speech. S far, they have cnducted successful pen field experiments, finding that the drne can estimate a victim’s lcatin within a few secnds f picking up sund.
Next, they wuld like t add a higher frequency micrphne t a drne t acquire mre audi sund signals. “The idea is t pick up nises frm hundreds f meters away,” Varela said. In the real wrld, victim’s lcatin data might ne day be sent wirelessly t emergency crews carrying a tablet.
32. What is the advantage f the human-seeking drne ver rescuers?
A. Its high speed f flying.B. Its lng wrking hurs.
C. Its easy access t disaster scene.D. Its quick estimatin f data.
33. What can the auditry system d?
A. Recgnize human cries.B. Pick up sunds frm far away.
C. Send victim’s lcatin data t a tablet.D. Imprve the quality f human screams.
34. Why did engineers analyze each sund frequency?
A. T remve the nise.B. T recrd the screams.
C. T find shared features.D. T enhance the vlume.
35. What is the main idea f the text?
A. Flying machines can track rescuers.
B. Rescuers use drnes t lcate disaster survivrs.
C. Human-seeking drnes will replace rescue crews.
D. Engineers ensure drnes t give better rescue perfrmance.

Failure is an imprtant prcess yu can learn frm. 36
Mst peple view failure as smething that shuld be avided at all csts. 37 It may have been an “F” we received in primary schl r the high expectatins ur parents placed upn ur shulders that stpped us frm trying.
An award-winning psychlgist and authr, Rn Friedman, tells the stry f hw Sara Blakely, funder f Spanx, revlutinized the wmen’s clthing industry and became a billinaire wing t her special understanding f failure.
38 She had zer experience in the clthing industry, lacked an educatin in business and raised nly $5,000 t invest. When asked where she fund the curage, she gave all credit t her dad. While mst parents asked their kids, “Hw was yur day?” when sitting dwn fr dinner, Sara’s parents asked her and her brther, “What did yu fail at tday?” each and every night.
When interviewed by CNN’s Andersn Cper, Sara said, “I learn frm my father failure is nt the utcme. Instead, it means yu tried. It frced me at a yung age t want t push myself s much further ut f my cmfrt zne.” 39 It became mre abut learning and less abut a persnal weakness.
If we view failure as weakness, we avid stepping ut f ur cmfrt zne. 40 It des nt define us, but instead matures us. I’m sure that there are many risks we wuld all take in ur persnal, prfessinal and spiritual lives if we culd get past a fear f failure.
A. And, mst imprtantly, it means yu tried.
B. In reality, Sara’s father had re-defined failure.
C. Early n, Sara vercame a series f difficulties.
D. Let’s take a lk at hw Sara faced failures in her career.
E. Instead, we must remind urselves that failure is an actin.
F. It is imprtant t reflect n what they can learn frm failure.
G. We tend t cnnect failure with a bad experience we had as a child.

Althugh they came frm many lands, fighting fr a better life in America, they had ne thing in cmmn: a desperate yearning (渴望) t learn English well.
Many f the students wrked in a factry fr twelve hurs thrughut the night and hurriedly tk a bus in the mrning straight t ur 8:00 A. M. class. They attended my class n time whatever the weather. Smetimes I wuld see them struggling t keep their eyes pen in the beginning. Hwever, their active participatin in class drve away their physical tiredness as well as livened up the atmsphere.
I still remember the day when I taught a simple dialgue called “Shpping fr a New Cat”. T teach the curse, I asked several students t rle-play the dialgue. Alexander frm Hungary, ne f the mst hardwrking members f the class, vlunteered t stand up and act it ut. Hard as he tried, he still made lts f mistakes. Hwever, I praised him.

Actually, it was him wh made my day. Smetimes I wndered if I was really teaching my students in the best way pssible. But I gave my all t this class, and they gave their all t me. If nthing else, they wuld always remember what t say if they ever went “shpping fr a new cat”. Sn, the language curse came t an end.
