  At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there, I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.

  But actually, they weren't.

  When I arrived at my new class, I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there weren’t" always someone else who could do them better. My grades began to suffer. More talented (有天资的) girls

often sang solos(独唱). I believed I wasn't smart. I believed I wasn't talented. I believed I was a failure.

Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.

I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.

25、It’s important to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 5Rs rule for us.

·Reduce（减少）

If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.

·Reuse（再利用）

You should always think of reusing the usable（可用的） things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.

·Recycle（再回收）

Bottles, cans（罐）and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.

·Recover（恢复）

When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples, you have two choice: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you should cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

·Repair

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing the table away. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

【1】The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _____.

a. smash them flat

b. collect the used cans

27、   The winner of the fifth season of the China Central Television's Chinese Poetry Conference (中国诗词大会) was shown on Feb 9. Peng Min, who has fallen at the final hurdle twice before, finally won the crown (王冠) for himself.

The competitors vary in age, from teenagers to adults. Peng, 36, an associate senior editor (副主编) of a poetry magazine, is one of the most familiar (熟悉的) faces of the show. He can recite around 1,000 poems.

With a master's degree in literature, Peng is always the hot favorite to win the prize, but, surprisingly, he's lost two finals in a row－the second season he lost to a 16-year-old high school student, Wu Yishu, and in the third season he was beaten by deliveryman (送货员) Lei Haiwei.

He cried after losing the season three final, “I realized that if I compete and fail again, at least I've tried, but if I don't sign up, that means I'm more of a failure because I'm afraid of trying. Therefore, when season five came around, I decided to give it another go,” Peng recalls.

The season five final came down to Peng and 11-year-old Han Yaxuan－again he was facing a much younger rival. This time, though, there was to be no mistake and victory was finally his.

“I want to tell people who have a similar experience that, even though you go through all kinds of misfortune (不幸的) or difficulties, as long as you are brave enough to look up, there will always be a light in the sky to guide you out of the darkness,” Peng said in his speech. “Thousands of years later, all of our shadows will vanish, only the beauty of poems will last.”

【1】How many seasons of the Chinese Poetry Conference does Peng Min take part in?

A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five

【2】Who won the second season of the Chinese Poetry Conference?

A.Wu Yishu B.Peng Min C.Lei Haiwei D.Han Yaxuan

【3】What made Peng Ming successful ?

A.His failure B.His misfortune C.His braveness D.His difficulties

【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “vanish”?

A.存在 B.消失 C.出现 D.停止

【5】What is the best title of the passage ?

A.No Pain, No Gain. B.It Is Never Too Late to Learn.

C.Failure Is The Mother of Success. D.A Good Beginning Makes A Good Ending.

28、用括号中所给词的适当形式填空，使语篇意思完整，必要时请用否定式。

In Switzerland, it’s very important 【1】 (be) on time. We’re the capital of clocks and 【2】 (watch), after all! If someone 【3】  (invite) you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friend may 【4】 (get) mad. So I make 【5】 (a) effort to be on time in order that I 【6】 (let) my friend down. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others 【7】(wait).
