Last year， I worked in a middle school near my mothers house， and I stayed with her for a month. During that time， I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

I am my mothers third girl. When I was born， the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing， below the elbow （肘）. Then he gave her some advice， “Dont treat her any differently from the other girls.” And she did！

There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven， I came out of the kitchen， “Mum， I cant peel （削……皮） potatoes. I only have one hand.” “You get back to peel those potatoes， and dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again！”

Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand and my other arm. “Jenny， if you try hard enough，” she said， “you can do anything.”

Once in the second grade， our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bar （攀爬架）.When it was my turn， I said no. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

The next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. “Now， pull up with your right arm，” she advised. She praised me when I made progress. Ill never forget when I was crossing the bar， the kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything. Mum had the courage to face anything. And she taught me I could， too.

A young woman turns around and around quickly， and jumps high. In the background， a young girl reads a rejection （拒绝） letter from a ballet school.“You have the wrong body for ballet，” it says， “and at thirteen， you are too old.” This was one of the most popular advertisements of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatres principal （最重要的） dancer Misty Copeland.

This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old， or that she didnt have the perfect body type  （She is only 157 cm tall）. Her family moved a lot， and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life， but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007， she became a solo （单独的） performer， and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.

Copeland is now a dancer， author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerinas Tale. So whats next？ According to Copeland， anything is possible. “My career （职业） really is just now beginning.”

（    ）27. How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer？

D）摘录  阅读短文，然后完成内容摘要。（每空不超过三个单词，共5小题，每小题2分）

“Screen time” is a term used for activities done in front of a screen， such as watching TV， working on a computer， or playing video games. Screen time means that you are being physically inactive while sitting down. Very little energy is used during the screen time.

Most American children spend about 3 hours a day watching TV. Added together， all types of screen time can total 5 to 7 hours a day.

Too much screen time can make it hard for you to sleep at night and put you at risk of having attention problems， experiencing anxiety and depression.

Whats more， it may increase the risk of gaining too much weight.

● Sitting and watching a screen is time that is not spent being physically active.

● TV commercials and other screen ads can lead to unhealthy food choices. Most of the time， the foods in ads that are aimed at young children are high in sugar， salt or fat.

● You may eat more when you are watching TV， especially when you see ads for food.

Computers can help you with your schoolwork. But surfing the Internet， spending too much time on Facebook， or watching YouTube videos is considered unhealthy screen time. Despite what ads may say， videos that are aimed at young children do not support your development.

Cutting down your screen time to 2 hours a day can be hard for you， but you can still do something to improve your situation. You should also know that sedentary （不動的） activities affect your overall health and there are other things you can do to be healthier.

Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. People who live in houses without gardens often rent （租）  land from the government.

43. 起初，只有非常富有的人有花园。You can still see the gardens around houses with a long history， such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. In the early twentieth century， however， gardening became a hobby. 44. 人们为他们的花园买了各种各样的种子和植物。Although roses， sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens， they originally（起初） grew wild in other countries.

B）简答  阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。（共5小题，每小题2分）

One day， while I was waiting for my father， I saw a little boy， around two years old， running

freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass， get up， without looking back at his mother， run as fast as he could， again， still with a smile on his face， as if nothing had happened.

At that moment， I thought to myself， “Why arent most adults this way？” Most adults， when

they fall down， make a big deal out of it and dont even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or， because they fall， they

would find a good excuse for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However， with kids， when they fall down， they dont consider their falling down as a failure.

Instead， they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. Whats more， they probably think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. In other words， they allow themselves to make mistakes， so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boys persistence （堅持不懈） and the manner in which he did.

46. What did the little boy do when he fell down？

47. In the writers opinion， what might the little boy regard his falling down as？

48. In the writers opinion， why cant many adults succeed？

49. What does the underlined word “attempt” in paragraph 2 mean？

50. What does the writer want to tell us？
