• 2．I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers.As a boy，I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.
     There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up.This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.
     It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible.I was one of those who lacked insight.Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through.She had another superpower and even after four decades，I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers，expanding our horizons.She did this even though her major was not art，nor geography.Her lessons went beyond the textbook.I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
     I know being a teacher isn't the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs.And there are occupational risks-your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase，your voice can give in from too much talking.But despite all that，there are those choosing this cause.To them，teaching is not just a job- it is a science，an art and a craft，and it demands emotional labour and investment.
     All my life，for three decades now，I've gone to work early each day with a spring in my step.Occasionally，I meet my former students.Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards.When I meet others who thirst for superpowers，like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on，or the one in a remote rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils，I feel proud to belong to the same group.

  （2）Which of the following best describes the English teacher？

• 3．There are many therapies （療法） for depression，including medical treatment，psychotherapy and talk therapy.Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers.Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them.Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments.It's called nature therapy. "Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression，" says Ethan Kross，PhD，an expert who has studied the nature-depression link.
     A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back，and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. "It seems that，from our work，the restorative（促進康復的） effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression，" says Marc Ber- man，PhD，an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago.That might be because they feel mentally tired，and being in nature re-energizes them.However，Dr.Ber-man has a strong warning. "We're not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression，" he says，"Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves."
     However，Berman and others say，interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary treatment.Compared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting，those who took a 50-minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.
     Why does nature hold this special effect？Berman says，"In a natural environment，we can choose to think or not，and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains.You can then pay attention later，when you need to. " He adds，"It gives people more ability to concentrate，which is a big problem for those with depression. " Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains，unlike urban setting.Even in the most peaceful urban environment，you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and stoplights.
  
  （1）What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1？

  
  A．They focus on physical activity.
  B．They pay no attention to interactions.
  C．They mainly depend on natural environment.
  D．They need to be tailored to different patients.
  （2）How does nature benefit patients with depression？

  
  A．By replacing clinic treatment.
  B．By making them feel energetic.
  C．By reminding them to rest in time.
  D．By covering up their mental problems.
  （3）What does the underlined word "supplementary" in paragraph 3 probably mean？

  
  A．Essential.
  B．Additional.
  C．Equal.
  D．Traditional.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．An urban setting of restoring energy.
  B．An effective replacement of clinical therapy for depression.
  C．The popularity of using multiple ways to treat diseases.
  D．The positive role of nature in treating depression.

   Jesse Dufton was born with a genetic condition，retinitis pigmentosa（色素性視網(wǎng)膜炎），and over the years，his eyesight gradually worsened.By the time he got to university in Bath to study Chemistry it had got to the point where he couldn't really see images at all，only the difference between light and dark.And a few years later，he was almost 100% blind.
   Jesse's mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity，and they've always encouraged and supported him in everything.
   Jesse started climbing when he was young.His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two.All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing.His dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of a mountaineering club，so they would go for weekends away climbing throughout the UK.
   Jesse's father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11.At this time he had about 30% blurry（模糊不清的）central vision.He could just see well enough to place rock equipment，but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground.
   At university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently.They had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors.He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe.On these he started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too.
   But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read，it started to be difficult to place equipment as he couldn't see whether it was properly seated.He also stopped being able to pick out the holds at indoor walls.
   Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse.But his parents never give up hopes for him.They planned a climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again.Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
