              One spring，when I was 10，during one of my father's layoffs （失业），I could tell my mother was unhappy．I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift．
              One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which，I learned years later，was known for its high-end fashions （时尚） and styles．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I was looking for a Mother's Day present．
              "Do you think she'd like a purse？"she asked．I told her．I thought she might．
              She took out an Italian handbag made of leather．She asked me what I thought，and I told her that my mom would like it．
              "How much money do you have？"she asked．
              "Twelve dollars，"I said．
              "You're in luck，"she told me．"It's only﹩11．You have a dollar left over for the card．"She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business，and I rode off home with the package under my arm．
              When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning，she asked in an accusing tone，"Where did you get this？"
              "I bought it at the Agins．It cost me﹩11．"I said．
              My mother was shocked into silence．
              It wasn't until many years later，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me．I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her．
              "You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，"my mother said，"Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough．But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget．"

              Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical（临床的）depression （沮丧）．That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings．They show that individuals （个人） who live or work in low levels of light overnight （整夜） can develop clinical depression．Doctors use the word"clinical depression"to describe severe form of depression．Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities，low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide．
              In the new study，American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors．The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal（夜行的），which means they sleep during the day and are active at night．
              The animals were separated into four groups．One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period．Another group was placed in front of a blue light，a third group slept in front of a white light，while a fourth was put in front of a red light．
              After four weeks，the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank．They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water．
              Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University．He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed．"What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness （不安） at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim（微弱）red light，they did not．"
              Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive（感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight．He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle．
              He says there's a lot of blue in white light．This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness．

              (1) Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ______ ．
              A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
              B. they are easy to observe and study
              C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings
              D. they are active at night and sleep during the day
              (2) What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed？ ______
              A. They drink less sugary water．
              B. They don't sleep well．
              C. Their eyesight becomes worse．
              D. Their energy level becomes low．
              (3) What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed？ ______
              A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers．
              B. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light．
              C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight．
              D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help．

              When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon （丝带） around a bomb"．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time．
              Born in 1907in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio （小儿麻痹症） at the age of seven．Her spine （脊柱） became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a schoolbus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint．
              In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．
              Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country．Her first onewoman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．

              In the fall of 1985，I was a brighteyed girl going to Howard University，aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell．
              My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed cancer．I made the choice to leave college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
              Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a mix of adopted （收养） and biological children．In 1999，we adopted our first son．To put eyes on him was wonderful-and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy then followed son No.3in 2003，I gave birth to another boy．
              You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8．Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo．Not surprising，I never did make it back to college fulltime．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice：to find a way．That meant taking as few as one class each term．
              The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to give up，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
              In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
              I am not special，just singleminded．It always struck me that when you are looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you are in the middle of it，it just seems normal．Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day．It's a process （过程）．Remember：little steps add up to big dreams．

              Just what is a tiger mother？Amy Chua is a law professor at America's Yale University and her recent book on the subject is making waves．She's been called"dangerous"，"outrageous"，even a"monster"for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters．
              Her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of music right．She rejected birthday cards made for her by her girls because she didn't think they had made enough efforts．She compared one child negatively with the other，threatening to burn their toys．Her rules include：schoolwork always comes first； an A-minus is a bad grade； children must be two years ahead of their classmates in math，and playing the violin or the piano is a must．
              Ms．Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic as a way of creating happy，successful children-at least in her case．Although she's had a large amount of flak for her theories，one thing can't be ignored-the success of Chinese children in the education system．
              In Britain，shocking research shows that Chinese girls，for example，are outperforming all other foreign groups at GCSE-79percent getting 5AC Grades，compared with 58 percent of white British girls．So what is it about Chinese parenting that's leading to high achievers？And how do Amy Chua's theories play into that success？
              She told me that if her daughter came back from school with 96/100 in a test，Chua would ask her what happened to the other4points．It's about always knowing"you can do better"，she told me．
              Interestingly，in China，the birthplace of the tiger mother，people are moving away from traditional Chinese parenting．They are following more western parenting styles．

              (1) After reading Amy Chua's recent book，the public ______ ．
              A. feel very sorry for their own children
              B. consider her a very successful mother
              C. realize their methods of bringing up children are wrong
              D. don't think highly of her methods of bringing up her children
              (2) What can we learn about Amy Chua according to Paragraph 2？ ______
              A. She is very strict with her children．
              B. She doesn't think her children are clever．
              C. She is very interested in playing the piano．
              D. She knows playing is important to children．
              (3) Paragraph 4shows that ______ ．
              A. Chinese parents don't think grades are very important
              B. Chinese children are cleverer than British children

            • 10．
              In January 2015，I left my hometown and family in Virginia and moved to Iowa so I could be coached by Jackson．I'd been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight-but gradually，that dream seemed like a million miles away．
              On February 2，2016，while Mom was visiting me in Iowa，I told her，"I don't like swimming any more．I want to try dancing，or become a singer．I can get a job in Virginia．I just want to come home．"
              Mom's eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone．"You're breaking my heart!Brie，"she said．"You've been doing swimming for ten years，and now you want to quit？Have you lost your mind？"
              I hadn't lost my mind，but I had lost my fire．It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone．
              "I'm not trying to break your heart，Mom，"I said．"I just don't want to do it any more．"
              "I know you miss home．But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability．You've got a responsibility to your teammates．And now you just want to walk away？I will not let you be dishonorable．If you don't like swimming，then at the very least，you'll finish the season．"
              The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Jackson's swimming center，I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training．I thought of my two sisters：Arielle，who gave up ballroom dancing，and Joyelle，who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in swimming．
              For now，here's what you need to know：Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first event（赛事）in the Rio Summer Olympics，my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster．

              (1) How did the author's mother feel toward her intention to quit swimming？ ______
              A. Heart-broken
              		B. Dishonorable
              		C. Helpless
              		D. Calm

              A. changed her mind in the end
              B. realized her Olympic dream
              C. loved singing and dancing more
              D. was so overcome with homesickness that she gave up her dream
              (3) What would be the best title for the passage？ ______
              A. My Dream B. My Mother
              C. My Leap of Faith D. Responsibility
