26、 Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait. But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U. S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U.S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely. Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.
But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases wellbeing,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.
For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.
【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To describe different fake buttons. B.To explore the functions of fake buttons.
C.To analyze various habits of pushing buttons. D.To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.
【2】What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?
A.They work when people press them hard.
B.They were designed for a sense of control.
C.They never speed up the doorclosing process.
D.They take the safety of the disabled into account.
【3】What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?
A.They can make people feel better. B.They help computers work faster.
C.They can control the traffic signals. D.They help pedestrians cross safely.
【4】Which may be the best title for the passage?
A.Buttons in the U．S.A. B.Buttons Always Lie
C.Buttons May Not Work D.“Close” Buttons on Lifts

28、 Even though one out of three American children live within a mile of their school, almost not half of those students often bike or walk to class, scientists report.
Children who live in the South, in country areas, or who have college-educated parents, are among those least likely to bike or walk to school, notes the report, which is published in July.
Sarah Martin and her workmates at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studied materials from more than 7,000 children between 9 and 15 years of age.
They found that almost 35 percent of the children lived within one mile of their schools. Children between 11 and 13 years old were more likely to walk or bike than 9-year-olds. Children whose parents had a high school education were more likely to bike or walk than children with college-educated parents.
“The majority of children are missing an opportunity to increase daily physical activity,” Martin said in a prepared statement.
According to the CDC, nearly one in five (18.8 percent) children between 6 and 11 years old are overweight. Increased daily physical activity is one of the methods the CDC gives to help deal with obesity (肥胖)in children.
Martin said that there are all kinds of reasons why children in city areas might be more likely to bike or walk. They said the fact is that schools may be in mixed-use neighborhoods where it is more possible to bike or walk, compared with other places where there may be fewer safe sidewalks.
【1】Sarah Martin and her workmates found that .
A.younger children would like to bike or walk to school
B.older children are much stronger than the younger children
C.kids whose parents received less education walk more
D.some children are becoming much lazier than others
【2】According to the CDC, many children are overweight because they .
A.eat too much every day B.have unhealthy meals
C.are too busy to travel D.take less physical activity
【3】From the passage, we can infer that .
A.children should receive a better education
B.some children don’t bike or walk because there are fewer safe sidewalks
C.it is unnecessary for children to walk to school
D.children in country areas have more chance to bike or walk than those in cities
【4】What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?
A.Education. B.Culture. C.Sports. D.Health.
29、About 15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a businessman and keen cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in the brain that often causes balance disturbances.
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three wheel recumbent bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was pedaling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as McLindon gleaned from his friend’s reaction. “To see his son interacting with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿科康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning an adaptive bike—and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder harness, a seat belt, and a caregiver’s steering and braking mechanism in the back. The bikes are expensive—$3,000 to S4,000, and that’s with the foundation’s steep manufacturer’s discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they’re a life changer.
“We worked with a 14-year-old who has spina bifida (脊柱裂),” says McLindon. “She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项). In a magazine interview, she said, I always knew there was an athlete in me.”
So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.”
【1】Who is Andrew McLindon?
A．A caring businessman with strong social responsibility.
B．A keen cyclist who promoted the awareness of cycling.
C．The Family Foundation founder who made a big fortune.
D．A worker who helped to find the special-needs children.
【2】Why is “headrest” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．To advertise the bike is comfortably crafted for children.
B．To prove the bike is suitable for special-needs triathlons.
C．To show the bike is designed for the special-needs children.
D．To claim the bike is beneficial to the recovery of balance issues.
【3】How did the McLindon Family Foundation help the special-needs kids?
A．By getting them interested in triathlons.
B．By gifting an adaptive bike to them.
C．By curing them of balance disturbances.
D．By providing an access to the joy of cycling.
30、In the crowded hallways of high school, Edward, towering at 6 feet 5 inches, stood out. Yet, despite his _________, he seemed to shrink（退缩）into the background, typically sitting alone at the back of the class. He had no friends and always ate lunch _________.

One evening, while _________ the final test papers, Harriet _________ at Edward’s paper, which was likely to receive a low grade of D. _______, deep down, she wished to give him more than just a D grade, feeling that he deserved better. Feeling exhausted and ready to _______ home, she was surprised when Edward walked into the room, looking terrible.
Edward’s eyes were filled with sadness, his clothes appeared _______ for weeks, and his hair was messy. Edward looked at the teacher and said, “I know I`m getting a low grade on my final. I realize I’m an embarrassment to others. I’m a lazy, selfish and stupid person with no _______.”
In that moment. Harriet perceived（察觉到）________Edward’s sorrow, she saw his potential. Encountering his hopeless look, she said, “Edward, your final grade is an A.” These words ________ Edward with total surprise, and his eyes ________. Harriet continued, “In my heart, you are ________ to get an A. I believe in you and I will always be here for you. Now, go and ________ the life you dream of. You’ll go far in the future as long as you work hard continually and I’ll be there, ________ you on every step of the way.
Those words __________ a seed of hope in Edward’s heart and helped him believe in his worth. This newfound confidence __________ him to change. His grades began to improve, and by the time he finished college, he had __________ a completely different person. Today, Edward stands proudly, not only in physical stature（身高）but also in his remarkable achievements, having become a world-famous dentist.
This story clearly exemplifies（例证）how powerful language can be in our lives. It vividly shows how words can __________ our attitudes and relationships. __________ the proverb goes, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” This illustrates that what we say can have a significant impact on ourselves and those around us.
