A
Hello, I’m Tony. I’m afraid of a lot of things: dogs, spiders, eye contact—and once for an entire decade I didn’t dare to set foot on a plane. I gave up a couple of job offers in other states, and missed out on quite a few free trips to Europe.
A year ago, I was tired of missing out so much on life, so I decided I would fix my problem. A friend introduced me to Tom, an experienced airline captain and licensed doctor. He specialized in treating the fear of flying. I ended up asking him every single question floating around in my head. He helped me get over some of my ridiculous fears.
Actually, if you have a specific motivation, it helps to overcome fear. For me, that motivation came when I landed a girlfriend who moved to Wisconsin shortly after we started dating. Every time I went to visit her, I had to take a 22-hour train ride, lying wide awake all the way. Fed up with it, I decided I would have to take the 2-hour plane ride to Wisconsin instead.
I watched hours of YouTube videos of planes taking off to picture how my coming trip would be before I finally booked my first plane ticket. The moment I got to the airport, I took medicine to keep myself from feeling sick. As the minutes ticked down before boarding, I spent some time watching some more YouTube videos. I also turned on music on my earphones to drown out the sounds of the airplane, and breathed deeply whenever I felt any signs of fear.
I was proud that I made it. Yes, courage is the key that will open many doors of opportunity, while moving you through seemingly impossible obstacles that are standing in your way. 21. How did Tony find his meeting with Tom? A. Fruitless
B. Ridiculous
C. Helpful
D. Astonishing
22. Why did Tony watch YouTube videos at the airport?
A. His pilot friend asked him to. C. They could drown out noises.
B. He had too much time to kill. D. He wanted to ease his panic.
23. What does Tony think matters most when overcoming fear? A. Opportunity

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only do the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.
“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.
Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.
But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.
But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.
Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all! 24. From the passage we can know that . A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags
B. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags C. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags 25. If a child carries a heavy school bag, .
B. Courage C. Experience D. Medicine
A. his back or neck will be hurt C. his hands will be hurt
B. his head and arms will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt
26. According to Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.
A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos
C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos
27. Some students think the best answer to this problem is that . A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home B. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework
C. they should only take home library books they will read that night D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
“But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education
column (专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life like bullying.
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like
a sponge
(海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all
this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too,
