What a touching letter! Undoubtedly, we all have experienced parents‘ love countless times during the process of our growth. It is they who keep, at all times, focusing their mind and energy on raising us, ensuring our lifelong safety and happiness.
We are never short of such stories as parents‘ love. As a child, once I felt terribly sick at midnight. Hearing this, my parents rose immediately and took me to the nearest hospital. Accompanying me by my bed, they didn‘t even sleep a second the whole night.
We can never thank our parents enough. Never ever will I let them down from now on. Studying hard is the only way, in my opinion, to express my gratitude to them. Only in this way can I guarantee to live up to their expectations in the future.

14.【题文】
Mr. Peabody & Sherman
This CGI feature inspired by the classic 1960s cartoon retains (保留) the surface but not the soul of the original. It‘s possible that some children may find things to like about the movie. The animated feature has even more than the recommended daily allowance of scatological humor and B.O. jokes for the average 8-year-old. Anyone much older than that is in for a big disappointment.
Child‘s Pose
In the movie world, most national new waves don‘t last long. An exception is the Romanian renaissance, which has featured first-class movies now for more than a decade. The latest is ―Child‘s Pose‖, an improper title for a marvelous movie. It‘s surprising that the Romanian film, starring Luminita Gheorghiu, missed the cut for an Oscar nomination (提名).
Winter‘s Tale
Fairy tales are not only for children and ―Winter‘s Tale‖, the film adaptation of a best-selling book, aims to attract even middle-aged adults into believing in the magic of everlasting love and the power of miracles. This is a movie that is many things—a great work of hubris (傲慢), a misguided attempt at filmmaking, unbelievably boring—and yet it is nothing.
300: Rise of an Empire
One of the challenges of sequels (续集) is that they often wind up being too little, too late; following up 2006‘s ―300‖ some years after the fact, ―300: Rise of an Empire‖ actually offers too much, too late. Within the first minutes of the film, as Leana Headey‘s Queen Gorgo gives explanation in a clipped voice, we get to see cruel killings.
1. What can we infer from the above about the movies mentioned?
A. Mr. Peabody & Sherman reflects the feature of the novel completely. B. Child‘s Pose is worse than other Romanian films made in the past decade. C. Winter‘s Tale is not considered by the writer as interesting as its original. D. 300: Rise of an Empire succeeds in avoiding common drawbacks of sequels. 2. The above writing is probably carried in the column ―______‖. A. What‘s on B. Brief review C. New movies D. Recommended movies

Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but don‘t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.
Some people say creativity has nothing to do with innovation—that innovation is a discipline, implying that creativity is not. In fact, creativity is also a discipline, and a crucial part of the innovation equation. There is no innovation without creativity.
A study on creativity shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of people feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe they are living up to their own creative potential.
Another study reveals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative. Creativity is a skill that can be developed and a process that can be managed. Creativity begins with a basis of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of thinking. You learn to be creative by experimenting, exploring, questioning assumptions, using imagination and synthesing (综合) information. Learning to be creative is similar to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles.
Beliefs that only special, talented people are creative weaken our confidence in our creative abilities. The concept that geniuses (天才) such as Shakespeare, Picasso and Mozart were ―gifted‖ is a myth (神话). Researchers examined outstanding performances in the arts, mathematics and sports, to find out if ―the widespread belief that to reach high levels of ability a person must possess a born potential called talent.‖ Few showed early signs of promise prior to parental encouragement. No one reached high levels of achievement in their field without devoting thousands of hours of serious training. Mozart trained for 16 years before he produced an acknowledged master work. Moreover many high performers achieve levels of excellence today that match the abilities of a Mozart, or a Gold Medallist from the turn of the century.
1. Real creative people must be good at ______. A. relating various things to each other B. using their heads whenever possible
C. looking at things from different angles D. putting what they think of into practice
2. Why does the writer refer to learning a sport? A. To claim that people are not born creative.
B. To illustrate the difficulty of acquiring creativity. C. To prove that creativity begins with knowledge. D. To show the relation between creativity and sports. 3. A conclusion can be drawn from the passage that ______. A. creative people are equal to gifted people
B. how hard you work decides if you will succeed
C. talent is not as important to creative people as confidence
D. parental encouragement plays a key role in developing creativity

16.【题文】Everyone is familiar with white fat, which serves as an energy warehouse. Many mammals also have brown fat, which has the unique ability to produce heat.
Brown fat is sometimes mistaken for a type of gland (腺), which it resembles more than white fat. It varies in color from dark red to tan. When the animal is exposed to a cold environment, the color darkens. In contrast to white fat, brown fat has numerous nerves which provide sympathetic stimulation (刺激) to the fat cells.
Brown fat is most noticeable in newborn animals, wrapped round the central organs to keep them warm. In human infants it occupies up to 5% of body weight, then declines gradually. Certain quantities of brown fat can be discovered in adult humans, especially when they are exposed to cold temperatures. Most of brown fat in adults is located in the lower neck.
Exposure to cold leads to sympathetic stimulation of brown fat cell. As in white fat, sympathetic stimulation promotes hydrolysis (水解) of triglyceride (甘油三酸脂), with release of fatty acids. In contrast to other cells, including white fat cells, brown fat cells express UCP1, which gives the cell‘s mitochondria (线粒体) an ability to produce heat rather than ATP. Within brown fat cells, most fatty acids are immediately combined with oxygen in mitochondria and a large amount of heat is produced.
There is only about 50g of brown fat in the neck region and it switches on and off throughout the day as it‘s exposed to different temperatures or if you exercise or eat. But this capacity is much greater in young children compared with adolescents and adults.
The challenge is now to use the knowledge to find out what might switch on brown fat. If it is switched on, we can benefit from it. Brown fat produces lots of heat by burning calories. Unlike white fat, brown fat does not expand our ageing waistlines. And that‘s why the race is on to find out more about brown fat, and how humans could use it to our advantage, though we would waste energy unnecessarily, and we would sweat a lot and forever be opening windows.
1. Which is the unique factor of brown fat producing heat?
A. Fatty acids. B. Triglyceride. C. UCP1. D. ATP. 2. We can learn from the passage that brown fat ______. A. becomes less in amount with age B. proves less active in low temperatures C. exists nowhere but in the lower neck D. has nothing in common with white fat
3. The underlined word ―infants‖ in Paragraph 3 means ―______‖. A. cells B. organs C. bodies D. babies 4. We take special interest in brown fat mainly because it helps us ______. A. save energy B. develop power C. keep warm D. keep our figure

A common feature experienced by those women who face the challenge of raising a Black male child in a nation that far too often views Black male bodies through fear. You see, Ms. Fulton is living my nightmare (恶梦). A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.
Through the years, I have witnessed the world‘s reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man. In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic (有磁性的). Complete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit. Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp their purse tighter as he walked by. Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred. I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life. He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep both hands on the wheel at all times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions. He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior. Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overcomes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin. His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character won‘t protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.
What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty (歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvon‘s mother loved her baby no less than I love mine. The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provides clear evidence of that. Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a self-appointed neighborhood
