Gym class was not considered important at the private school I attended from kindergarten to Grade 6 and the words "movement skill development" would have caused brows to wrinkle.

For Grades 7 and 8 I moved into the public school system. It was the early 1980s and we had to wear green gym shorts and white T-shirts with the school crest(饰章)on them. We had to climb ropes. We had to go for 1ong runs in the valley beside the school and excuses were not allowed.

My mom, also somewhat of a "non-sporty mom", wrote me notes to get me out of this nightmare once a month. And when she didn't, I sometimes forged my own. One day I arrived for gym class with my note explaining why I could not participate. It was signed by my "mother". There were at least two classes of Grade 8 girls sitting on the side of the hill when I boldly(冒失地) presented my note. The PE teacher asked me why my mother's signature looked so messy. What I said next might be the finest example of just how stupid I was when I was13: "It's messy because she signed it while she was driving."

My classmates giggled(傻笑) nervously. I thought maybe I had pushed things too far but wasn't at all prepared for what happened next. The teacher grabbed my ear and dragged me all the way up the millions of stairs, through the miles of hallways, and into the principal's office. That was where my memories from junior high gym class ended.

The next year I went to the first day of Grade 9 gym with a positive outlook, high hopes, and good intentions. But all I ended up developing was the habit of hiding in the girls' bathroom for the duration of the class.

When my counsellor(辅导员) called a meeting between me and the gym teacher later that year, I remember the teacher looking at me and saying, "I wouldn't know this girl was in my class if I hit her with my car."

24. What is the author's impression of her gym class?

A. It was great fun before Grade 6. B. It was dull and terrible all the way.

C. It helped her improve sports skills. D. It was tiring but interesting at public school.

25. Which can replace the underlined word "forged" in paragraph 3?

A. improved B. gathered C. created D. discovered

26. Why was the author punished by her PE teacher at age 13?

A. She told a lie to the teacher. B. She had an argument with others.

C. She made the same mistake repeatedly. D. She was too careless in signing her name.

27. When did the author’s attitude to gym class change for the better?

A. At the beginning of Grade 9. B. In the early eighties.

C. In the middle of Grade 8. D. During Grades 7 and 8.

C

After living, studying and traveling in Rome for over nine months, I finally flew back "across the pond" to America. While the reunion with my friends and family was unbelievable, I began to feel the so-called "reverse (反向的)culture shock".

Before experiencing any psychological distress(忧虑)upon re-entry, I noticed all of the obvious physical and cultural differences between Italy and Indiana-one of which occurred in Walmart. As I walked down the seemingly endless aisles, I was confused. When I finally found the cream cheese, I just stopped and stare. "Is it really necessary to sell over ten different flavors of the same product?" I thought. 1 immediately recalled the small grocery store, Carrefour, a block away from the Rome Global Gateway. While the store was small compared to Walmart, it still sold everything I ever wanted. It seemed that Walmart is a perfect example of over-indulgence(放纵)and materialism, two known negative qualities of American culture.

Because I struggled to communicate with the locals of Rome, who spoke very little English, I was unexpectedly pleased to have the ability to talk to anyone once again. Personally, I have never been the type to strike up conversation with strangers, yet I found myself enjoying conversation with others I hadn’t met before in public. It feels good to no longer be the "outsider" walking on eggshells so as not to offend anyone or say something with the wrong accent or incorrect grammar.

While attending a Student Safety Summit for Notre Dame students traveling abroad, one of the speakers noted that living in a foreign country will "change you in ways you can't even imagine yet," including the way you interact with others, how you dress, what you eat, and how you perceive(感知)the world. Before living abroad, I thought to myself that nothing could influence my sense of identity, let alone the way I dress! However, those words have stuck with me, and I believe the speaker was right!

28. What puzzled the author at Walmart?

A. It was not selling a common product. B. Its cream cheese had a terrible flavor.

C. It was located very close to its competitor. D. It was unnecessarily rich in product varieties.

29. According to paragraph 2, what's the author's attitude towards American culture?

A. Proud. B. Curious. C. Unsupportive. D. Uninterested.

30. Before coming to Rome, the author was used to .

A. speaking with an accent B. not talking to strangers

C. keeping his identity secret D. correcting others’ grammar

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. How to Prepare for Culture Shock B. Keeping Your Identity During Travel

C. Dealing with Reverse Culture Shock D. How to Follow Foreign Customs as You Travel

D

People and other great apes are known for their willingness to help others in need, even strangers. Now, researchers have shown for the first time that some birds-specifically African grey parrots-are similarly helpful.

"We found that African grey parrots voluntarily help familiar parrots to achieve a goal, without obvious immediate benefit to themselves," says Desiree Brucks of the Max Planck Institute for Birds Study, Germany.

Parrots and crows are known for having large brains relative to the size of their bodies and problem-solving skills to match. For that reason, they are sometimes considered to be“feathered apes," explains Brucks. However, earlier studies showed that, despite(尽管)their impressive social intelligence, crows don't help other crows. In their new study, Brucks and his fellows wondered: what about parrots?

To find out, they placed pairs of grey parrots and blue-headed parrots in boxes alongside each other with a transfer(转移)hole between the two, and a hole facing a human experimenter that was either kept open or closed. Both parrot species quickly learned that they could exchange tokens(筹码)with the experimenter for a nut treat-but only the grey parrots helped their neighbors when their own hole facing the scientist was closed, preventing them from gaining any personal reward.

In the very first round, seven out of eight grey parrots were willing to transfer tokens in their possession to their neighbors so that their friends could feast when they could not. The fact that they did so without knowing they would later be tested in the other role showed that those giving were not expecting the favor to be rewarded, said Brucks.

Significantly, the grey parrots appeared to understand the nature of the task, instead of acting out of playfulness. When they saw the other parrot had an opportunity for exchange, they'd pass a token over-but otherwise, they would not. And, like humans, the grey parrots appeared to favor their friends, sharing more tokens with birds they had previously closely associated with, though they still gave some to those they are familiar with.

32. Parrots are considered "feathered apes" mainly due to .

A. their brain size B. their body structure

C. their language skills D. their intelligence level

33. What's the purpose of Brucks' new study?

A. To learn how parrots take on their tasks. B. To discover whether parrots are helpful.

C. To prove parrots are socially active birds. D. To find out links between apes and crows.

34. What’s the use of a "transfer hole" in the experiment?

A. Parrots passed their tokens through it. B. Parrots got their rewards through it.

C. Researchers exchanged tokens through it. D. Researchers fed the parrots through it.

35. What can we infer about grey parrots from the last paragraph?

A. They are naturally interested in playful tasks.

B. They rarely build friendship with their neighbors.

C. They use tokens to get favors from their neighbors.

D. They are more likely to help their friends if possible.
