While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santas lap to rejoin his family. But a few moments later, he raced back to Santas side: hed forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自闭症) would land him on the “naughty list.” His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told hes “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when youre at the grocery store if hes too loud,” Johnson said. “Hes been told by other people before,You dont need to be so naughty, or, Why are you naughty?”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landons worries, and held the boys hands all the while.“Santa sat him next to him and took Landons hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldnt. It shouldnt bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and its hard for people to understand that he has autism,” but that hes “not a naughty boy.”“You know I love you and the reindeer（驯鹿）love you and its OK. Youre a good boy,” Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon. “Youre a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santas thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message Ive been trying to get through to him for a while now thathes special and I love him just the way he was made,”the mom toldT. “Seeing Landons face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldnt stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.” 24. What did Landon do after he raced back to Santa? A. He shared Christmas desires with Santa. B. He checked if he was the real Santa Claus.C.

You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming（哼）. When you feel vibrations(震动) under your fingers, youve found it!When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is whats called an Adams apple. Everyones larynx grows during puberty, but a girls larynx doesnt grow as much as a boys does. Thats why boys have Adams apples. Most girls dont have Adams apples, but some do. But why is it called an Adams apple? If you think its called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, youre right. An Adams apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls voices.The larynx doesnt grow to its new size overnight, though. If youve ever heard a teenage boys voice sound squeaky(发短促尖叫声的), youve heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!28. Who has Adams apples after puberty? A. All kids. B. Most girls. C. Most boys. D. Boys.29. What makes a persons voice deeper? A. The size of the larynx.B. The length of puberty. C. The amount of body changes.D. The shape of ones throat. 30. Which of the following is true about thelarynx? A. Thelarynx comes after Adams apples. B. Thelarynx grows gradually in ones teens. C. Thelarynx grows the moment a person is born. D. Thelarynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat.31. Whats mainlytalked about in the text? A. Where an Adams apple exists.B. What an Adams apple is. C. When teenagers have their puberty.D. How squeaky a teenage boys voice sounds. DA group of kids atMcIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates arent left out on the playground. Called the “Buddy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know theyd like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want to partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students proposal, and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the schools playground.Since it was installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them throughout their entire lives.It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”32.

Because they are consistent, often unconscious 43, they constantly, daily express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.As Horace Mann, the great educator, once 44 it, “Habits are like a rope. We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his 45 . I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isnt a(n) 46 fix. It involves a 47 and a faithful commitment.Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo II were quite amazed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. 48 to get there, those astronauts obviously had to break out of the huge gravity pull of the earth. 49 energy was spent in the first few minutes of 50 in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.Habits, 51 have huge gravity pull more than most people realize or would 52 . Breaking deeply 53 habits such as delay, hesitation, impatience or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness 54 more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” 55 a great effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom 56 a whole new dimension.57 any natural force, gravity can work 58 us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may 59 be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cooperation and 60 necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives. 41.
