To Save the Baby Eagle ( 鹰)
After Josh lost his father Frank, it felt as if he had lost his whole family. He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _31_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive, he would have been out here, instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (继父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __32__ in his own home.
A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle, right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look, Sam said, “He’s not __33_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”
“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __34__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools, he said, “I wish I could do this instead of you, but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”
Josh _35__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay,” he comforted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my footing, it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place, the mother
eagle swooped (俯冲) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 36 , the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes,” Josh called, “send the bird up!”
Finally, Josh was back with Sam, watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land, but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home, the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 37 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.
“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __38__ change,” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank, but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 39 Sam had been for his safety.
“She’s coming in,” Sam cried. The mother eagle landed beside her baby.
“Yes!” Josh and Sam shouted. “We 40__ it!” As they high-fived each other, Josh felt closer to Sam. Now he and the baby eagle had both come home. 31. A. group 32. A. child 33. A. hurt

Every 2 minutes, a child dies of malaria (疟疾). Most of them are children under the age of 5. It only costs $10 to send a life-saving bed net (蚊帐) to protect a poor family. Great progress has been made, but there is still work to be done. Together, we can end malaria for good!
Three Things You Can Do:
1. Send a net. We have a simple way to solve the problem. For a family in Africa, a net can mean the difference between life and death. For just $10, you can protect a family and save a life. 2. Start a team. Increase your influence by asking your friends, family, and neighbours to join you
and send nets. You can organize a sports game, a talent show or an outdoor market to raise money for the project.
3. Make your voice heard. Make sure other people know that the fight to end malaria is very important for you. Help more people know about the cause. People Who Are Involved

With His Head Held High
While pregnant (怀孕) with Brian, Lorraine became sick. She had polio, a serious illness which left her unable to use her legs.
After her illness, Lorraine was afraid. She thought her polio would have bad effects on her unborn child. “So when he arrived, looking like such a perfect baby, I was the happiest mother in the world,” she said. But Lorraine soon began to worry because she saw that Brian was developing too slowly.
Growing up, Brian was very shy. It was hard for him to communicate with other people. He felt different from others, including his own brothers. Lorraine did not know what to do.
Then when he was 14, Brian became involved in Special Olympics, which is similar to the traditional Olympic Games. His first event was a swimming race. “And he got a medal,” Brian’s mum Lorraine said. “He was a winner for the first time in his life. Suddenly, Brian felt just as good as his brothers. From that moment on, he became a different person. He walked to school with his head held high. He stopped hiding and began to talk. It was amazing.”
On his eighteenth birthday, Brian won his first gold medal. People cheered. Someone began to sing
“Happy Birthday” over the loudspeaker, and the crowd joined in. Lorraine Loeb stood up from her wheelchair to sing along. “It was the first time in 18 years that I stood alone,” she said. Lorraine was thankful to have a son like Brian. She was very glad that Brian took part in Special Olympics and the family was proud to watch Brian perform in the competition. “It’s taught us that it isn’t the strength (力量) of your body or mind that counts,” she said. “It’s the strength of your spirit.” 45.

Do You Know Big Data ( 数据)?
Many of us have had the same “pleasant surprise”. After you mark a song as a favourite on a music app (程序), it suggests songs of the same kind to listen to. In fact, this seemingly magic, mind-reading power depends on data.
Data is no longer only about numbers, but information about almost every part of our lives: where we go, what we do, and our likes and dislikes. Together it is called Big Data.
Big Data makes life more convenient. The smart traffic system in Los Angeles is a good example. It collects real-time traffic data and controls 4,500 traffic lights in the system. If an accident happens, the system will change the lights near there to allow cars to pass quickly.
Big Data can also bring in money. UK’s Tesco encourages its customers to have Clubcards. According to the data collected through Clubcards, Tesco knows their shopping habits and then suggests products on its website. The related app on a mobile phone even guides customers around supermarkets to find what they want and makes suggestions for what they may like.
However, this information-collecting process raises serious questions about how we protect our privacy (隐私). Big business companies like Tesco and governments can collect our private information and use it against our wishes. The laws should be able to protect people’s rights in the Big Data age.
And Big Data shouldn’t be confused with big ideas. Big Data requires you to have data first. That means the data is about what has happened in the past, not what you can imagine happening in the future. What if Albert Einstein lived today and not 100 years ago? What would Big Data say about the theory of relativity (相
对论)? No experiment data could support his idea at the time—that’s why we call it a breakthrough. Another example is school. Big Data can lead to school improvement. But great ideas can inspire teaching and learning in classrooms. That’s what matters.
Though there are side effects, the benefits of Big Data are so big that there’s no going back. We just make the best use of it.
49. After you mark country songs as favourites, the app suggests ________ to you.
A. country music B. rock music C. pop music D. electronic music 50. What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?
A. The surprise of Big Data. B. The information of Big Data. C. The benefits of Big Data. D. The side effects of Big Data. 51. The writer talks about the theory of relativity to ________. A. introduce the disadvantages of using Big Data B. stress that big ideas are different from Big Data C. show that Albert Einstein was a great scientist D. suggest that schools should depend on big ideas 52. From the passage, we can learn that Big Data ________. A. has mind-reading power B. is numbers about people C. tells us about the future D. needs to be properly used D
The Value of Children’s Literature
Giving children opportunities to read different kinds of literature is very important for their success. Teachers, parents and community members should help students develop a love for reading. Not only is reading literature important in developing cognitive (认知的) skills to be able to succeed in a school or work setting,
but it is valuable for other reasons as well.
First, children’s literature provides students with the opportunity to react to literature and develop their own opinions about the topic. Great literature does not tell the reader everything he or she needs to know. It allows for some difference in opinion. One reader may take something completely different than the next reader, because of different ways of thinking and personal experiences. For younger children, wordless picture books are a good choice. Children reading a wordless book like A Ball for Daisy will be able to look at the pictures and develop their own dialogue for the story. This also helps them to form opinions on their own.
Second, children’s literature helps students develop emotional intelligence (情商). Stories have such power. For example, a book that encourages emotional intelligence is Selma. It discusses what it takes for a young sheep to be happy and challenges students to think about what happiness really is. And The Big Box is a story about children who lose their freedom and the deeper problems when having no freedom. Children’s literature encourages students to think deeper about their own feelings.
Finally, children’s literature encourages personality and social development. Children’s literature can help them become less egocentric. When children are young, they focus mainly on themselves. As they grow older, they begin to consider what other people want and how they feel. Children’s literature helps them develop into caring and friendly people.
Children’s literature can encourage social development by encouraging students to accept other people and their differences. Books like Molly’s Family and Daddy’s Roommate present situations
