At thirteen, I was diagnosed(診所)with a kind ofattention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in theclass was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a storyand then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away andsaid,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I mightnot be able to do it.”

She glanced down at methrough her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I hadto take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all becameclear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a timewhen the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots(點(diǎn)), which opened up awhole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the“sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. Icompleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” onit. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when youkeep trying?”

The author didn’t finish the reading in class because____.

A. he was new to the class

B. he was tired of literature

C. he wanted to take the task home

D. he had an attention disorder

James Gross, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has a13-year-old daughter who loves math and science. “It hasn’t occurred to her yetthat’s unusual,” he says. “But I know in the next couple of years, it will.”

She’s already being pulled out of class to do advanced things witha couple of other kids, who are guys. And as someone who studies human emotionfor a professions, Gross says, “I know as time goes on, she will feelincreasingly lonely as a girl who’s interested in math and science, and be atrisk of narrowing her choices in life before finding out how far she could havegone.’’

Gross’ concern clearly shows what has been a touchy subject in theworld of science for a long time: Why are there still so few women in science,and how might that affect what we learn from research?

Women now make up half the national workforce, earn more collegeand graduate degrees than men, and by some estimates represent the largestsingle economic force in the world. Yet the gender gap in science persists, toa greater degree than in other professions, particularly in high-end,math-intensive fields such as computer science and engineering.

According to US Census Bureau statistics, women in fields commonlyreferred to as STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) made up 7percent of that workforce in 1970, a figure that had jumped to 23 percent by1990. But the rise essentially stopped there. Two decades later, in 2011, womenmade up 26 percent of the science workforce.

According to James Gross, in the near future his daughter may ____.

A. become a great scientist

B. feel lonely and have fewer choices

C. be pulled out of class with some guys

D. learn math and science better and better

Everybody hates it, buteverybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. InAmerica alone, tipping is a $ 16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers actingpolitely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tipsshould not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tipsboth rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings ofinequality. And also, tipping made for closer relations. It went without sayingthat the better the service, the bigger the tip.

Butaccording to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve anyuseful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups diningat 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and betterservice was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything todo with the quality of service.

Tippingis better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, thecustom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the acceptedcost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% couldwell mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to getl5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe, tipping isless common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standardservice charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught onat all. Only a few have really taken to tipping. According to Michael Lynn, theCornell papers’ author, countries in which people are more social or outgoingtend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers.And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix upwith others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people thinkless of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off.”

This passage is mainly about_______.

A. .different kinds of tipping in different countries

B. the relationship between tipping and custom

C. the origin and present meaning of tipping

D. most American people hate tipping

Dear Brad,

I am a boy in the first grades of a senior high school. I feel uneasily recently. At home I feel like prisoner. I am not allowed to watch TV or surf the Internet. The only thing I have to do it is studying. Every time I got a low mark, my parents will scold me sharply. There’s a generation gap among my parents and me, but it’s always difficult to communicate. Life are supposed to be colorful and wonderful, isn’t it? How should I devote all my time and energy to the study so as to entering a good university? I am very unhappy and lost. I need your help.

Best wishes,

Li Ping

Dear David,

I am writing to tell you something about the square dance in China. In the morning or after dinner, people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in it now. There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all, China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides,doing the square dance is a good way for people to keep fit.

However, just as each coin has two sides,this kind of dance also leads to some problems. For example, dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places, which annoy many other people.Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.

Yours,

Li Hua
