He’s always the first to arrive at school in the morning and the last to leave. He’s always asked to answer the teachers’ questions and he’s always in first place in his class and in the whole school.
Aron Anderson is in a class of his own — in fact, he’s the only pupil in his school. The ten-year-old boy studies in this farthest primary school in Britain. Whether he likes it or not, Aron gets the most attention of his teachers all the time. During the school day, he has two classrooms, a music room and a library all to himself. And between classes and after school, he has the whole playground with its slides (滑梯)，swings and basketball court.
One problem, of course, is that although he loves football, he has no other friends to play with（.30） He also becomes one of the most expensively educated children in the UK.
Aron’s father Ewan is a 43-year-old fisherman who sometimes spends days at the sea. His mother Denise works in the island shop. She is also a firefighter.
The island used to have a senior high school and a farm, but they were both closed with many families leaving. “I just wish we could go back ten years. There were lots of children and the older children used to help the younger ones at school,” Aron’s mother said.（34）

C
At the midnight, thunder was crashing and the rain was pouring. Suddenly my father rushed into my room. “Adam! Adam! Get up! We’re flooding!” he shouted and shook me by the shoulders. That woke me up! I ran downstairs to the basement (地下室). It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to pick up things and take them upstairs(34). I had no shoes on, so my feet felt quite cold. Things got worse every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, big-screen television and heavy boxes filled with our most valuable things were taken to safety. However, our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there — being destroyed. There was nothing we could do.
That was the hardest part. Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but realizing that you can’t do anything to stop it feels even worse. Water had come in our front door. Rescue boats were floating in our streets. Mother told me to pack an overnight（通宵，前夜） bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave. When it was finally safe to walk outside, all the people in the neighborhood gathered (35) at the street corner. People became friends, and friends became like family. People comforted each other. We learnt later that the National Weather Service had declared (宣布) the storm a flash flood.
I really have learnt something from this flood, I’ve learnt what destruction is. I have learnt what safety means. I know in the future, when I watch people’s lives affected (影响) by natural disasters, I can understand them. I will show my great pity on them and I will do what I can to help them.(37)

36. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. His family. B. A flood.
C. The National Weather Service. D. A broken house.
37. How will the writer probably feel if he sees people who meet disasters? A. Frightened. B. Uncomfortable. C. Sympathetic (同情的). D. Angry.

I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.(41)
If you are feeling nervous, my advice is to first find the causes. (38) Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things(39). Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be nervous, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it. (40) It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous, and then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you worry about most is probably not going to happen.
38. What should you do first if you are feeling nervous? A. Have a good rest. B. Talk about it with others. C. Try to find the causes that make you nervous. D. Stop thinking about the things that make you nervous.
39. Why does the writer think there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness?
A. Because most of them are not very important.
B. Because they are not the real causes of the problem. C. Because they cannot be controlled by people. D. Because it’s better to deal with one cause at a time.
40. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer? A. Go swimming often to get used to it. B. Avoid going to the swimming pool. C. Find a good swimming teacher. D. Imagine watching others swim.
41. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience.
B. To give advice on how to deal with nervousness. C. To help people forget their fears.
D. To explain the dangers of nervousness.

A report by UNEP联合国环境规划署（United Nations Environment Programme） says that by 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.6 billion and feeding us all will require at least 60% more food than we have ever produced before. What’s more，if we can’t find out a way to do with it, food shortages (短缺) could be a big problem.(42) (45)
A main purpose of the report is to make people be aware of the importance of this challenge. In the past, food production increase relied on the practices like cutting down trees, using chemicals and wasting water. Today we understand the environmental price of those techniques.(43)
“The question now is how to produce much more food and at the same time avoid all the environmental problems that we had in the past,” Searchinger, a famous scientist said.
We need to develop new ways to produce food. We can no longer cut down trees. Instead, we’ll have to protect water and land, and reduce air pollution. The report also mentions the importance of reducing food loss and waste. According to the United Nations, the waste adds up to one-third of all the food we produce —an amount that could feed an additional 2 billion people.
The report also suggests that we make changes in our diet. “You have to eat more efficiently (有 效地),” said Searchinger, “and above all that means eating less meat, and especially reducing the growth of beef.”That’s because raising cows is an inefficient way of producing food. Of all the energy that goes onto feeding cows, only about 1% is converted (转换) into food for people.
42. What will happen if we can’t find a way to produce more food? A. We will have fewer cows.
B. The environment will be worse.
C. We can’t have enough land to live on. D. Some people can’t get enough food. 43. Which of the following can replace (替代) the underlined part? A. Cutting down trees. B. Using chemicals. C. Wasting water. D. The damage to environment. 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. By 2050, we can produce at least 60% more food than before.
B. The problems of food and environment need to be faced in the future. C. Traditional ways such as using chemicals are still needed to increase food production.
D. The report advises us to eat more meat to solve the environmental problem. 45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What people should do to protect our planet. B. How to reduce the population.
C. How we can feed 9.6 billion people in the future. D. Food waste is a serious problem in our world.
