2.Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting,but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.Maybe they are worried about their handwriting.Are you one of them?(36)F Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this-hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.Pretty hard?But when you hold your pencil the correct way,writing is much easier.(37)G Hold it in place with your thumb(大拇指),and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend!Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡).(38)CAlso be sure to fill up the lined space completely.Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read,try slowing down a little.If you rush,it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
(39)EThat makes it harder to make the smooth lines.Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
(40)A
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures.So even though it's not schoolwork,you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A.Play games.
B.Ask for more advice.
C.So"a"should be half the height of a capital"A".
D.You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E.Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F.The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G.The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

16.How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem.The trick is to be patient,straightforward,and to remember that deaf people communicate visually.
Method 1:Starting Your Conversation
(36)AYou can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance,or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder.
Position yourself carefully.Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face,and that you're not standing with your back to a light. (37)E
Find out how the person prefers to communicate.Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others.Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter.Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods.(38)F
Method 2:Communicating through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language. (39)GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.
When someone else is speaking,don't turn away from the deaf person in your group.(40)D
You don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking,but try to make sure your face is visible.

A.Get the person's attention.
B.It's important not talk too quickly.
C.Or,they'll miss parts of the conversation.
D.If so,it'll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E.Stand directly in front of the person,at a normal distance.
F.The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G.Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.

13.Positive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated or depressed,they don't ignore it.But they don't blame themselves either.(36)DThey counter(反擊)them with more positive ones.
So how do you stay positive,maintain motivated and sustain healthy behaviors?Here are some tips:
Look for a good role model.There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want to be doing.Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea.(37)EAsk them how they keep healthy and follow their footsteps.
(38)ATake a minute to give yourself an ego boost(自我吹捧).Repeat some motivational words out loud to yourself.Negative talk such as"I can't do it.""I'm fat."is dangerous for your well-being and healthy goals.Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you.Remind yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes.
Get support.Tell your friends and family about your healthy habits.It helps to have an encouraging network.
Reward yourself.(39)CTake a nice bath,get a massage,and enjoy a new DVD or CD.
Have a plan.Making a plan to exercise or eat healthy lunches with a friend can mean the difference of sticking with your goals or falling off rack.If you've planned for an activity,you'll like stick with it.You may even find that writing down your goals and steps to achieve them can help you stay on track.Take it day by day or week by week.(40)F

A.Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative talk.
B.Stay with your parents and relatives and you can avoid frustration or depression.
C.Treat yourself to something for your healthy efforts.
D.They try to understand the negative thoughts and feelings,instead.
E.Learn from a successful friend,family member or colleague.
F.The process of writing down your personal action plan is a good way to watch your progress or failures.
G.Believe in yourself and do as others do.

5.When American soldiers return home from war with disabilities,they often suffer twice-first from their combat injuries,next from the humiliation (羞辱)of government dependency.
Wounded veterans (老兵)learn they have two basic choices:They can receive almost $3,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs,or they can try to find a job.Especially in this economy,it's no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down.
Mark Duggan,an economics professor at Stanford University,reports that enrollment in U.S.veterans'disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014.The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled,from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014.Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion.
In the 1980s and 1990s,male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans.But since 2000,that has changed dramatically.Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and nonveteran labor participation,with veteran participation lower.
Navy SEAL Eric Greitens,founder of The Mission Continues,explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country.
"When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity,"he says."Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs,and others,encourage them to view themselves as disabled."By the time they come to Greitens'non-profit organization,"We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute."
There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom.One is the expansion of qualification criteria.In 2000,for instance,type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease.Heart disease has also been added to the list.
Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents'generation.Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54.
We shouldn't go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness.But Lt.Col.Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful,psychologically,to former soldiers.Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point.He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft.Carson,in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce.
"People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,"he warned."They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.They are more likely to live alone."
What a waste of human potential,especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when they're discharged (遣退).
We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities.As Gade noted in a recent article,"Veterans should be viewed as resources,not as damaged goods."He recommended that"efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on their disabilities,and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency."
On a more practical note,the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate resources to spend more on job training and less on disability.Current placement programs are sadly inadequate.
We are good at sending soldiers off to war.Yet when these young men and women return home,they are essentially told,"We'll give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life,but we won't help you find a job."
It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole (救濟(jì)金) rather than enabling them to reenter the workforce with the necessary accommodations.

35.What do more and more disabled veterans appear to do nowadays?A
A.Depend on the government for a living.
B.Be treated badly in most workplaces.
C.Ask the government for more dole.
D.Spend more time on job hunting.
36.How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage?A
A.By listing figures.
B.By giving examples.
C.By performing experiments.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
37.What did veterans use to do in the 1980s and 1990s?B
A.Refuse to find jobs.
B.Be a main labor resource.
C.Have much trouble finding jobs.
D.Receive many disability benefits.
38.One of the reasons why there are more disabled veterans is thatC.
A.damage from the war is greater than ever
B.veterans have suffered much more than ever
C.the scale of disabilities has been broadened
D.older veterans aren't afraid to admit their disability
39.In Gade's opinion,the veterans who receive welfare from the government tend toB.
A.save more trouble for the government
B.lead a miserable and unhappy life
C.increasingly depend on the government
D.suffer the humiliation of their combat injuries
40.What is the author's attitude toward current placement programs?D

14.Children whose minds wander might have sharper brains,a research suggests.
A study has found that people who appear to be often distracted (走神) have more"working memory",giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and control it cleverly.
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks,such as following teachers'instructions or remembering dictated (聽(tīng)寫的) sentences.During the study,volunteers were asked to perform one simple task during which researchers kept asking if their minds were wandering.At the end,volunteers measured their working memory capacity (容量) by their ability to remember a series of letters mixed with simple maths questions.
Daniel Levinson,a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States,said that those with higher working memory capacity reported"more mind wandering during these simple tasks",but their performance did not suffer.
The results,published online in the journal Psychological Science,appear to confirm former research that found working memory allows humans to deal with multiple thoughts at the same time.
Dr Jonathan Smallwood,of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig,Germany,said,"What this study seems to suggest is that,when surroundings for the task aren't very difficult,people with additional working memory capacity use them effectively to think about other things besides what they're doing."
Working memory capacity is also associated with general measures of intelligence,such as reading comprehension and IQ scores.Dr Smallwood added:"Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life-when they are on the bus,when they are cycling to work,when they are in the shower-are probably supported by working memory."

28.During the study,the researchers asked the volunteers toD.
A.solve some difficult math's problems
B.retell some dictated sentences
C.follow the teacher's instructions
D.carry out one simple task
29.The underlined word"suffer"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA.
A.become worse    B.settle down   C.experience pain  D.run out
30.According to the study,working memoryC.
A.prevents people from remembering dictated sentences
B.causes people's minds to wander more easily
C.a(chǎn)llows people to consider more things at the same time
D.leads to people's worse performance during work
31.What's the text mainly about?B
A.How the working memory works in the daily life.
B.Wandering minds might have brighter brains.
C.Why people's minds wander while working.
D.Working ability can be improved by wandering minds.
