2．Many years ago，Mike Huss attended Ione Elementary School as a student.He went on to work there-first as a janitor （看門人），then as a teacher，and now as a principal.
Huss said he never wanted to be an educator，but his seventh-grade teacher felt otherwise. "I remember Mrs.Collier telling me， 'You will be such a great teacher someday，' and I laughed at her.jye.ai going to happen，but here Lam，" he said.
Huss ended up starting as Ione Elementary School's janitor 30 years ago.He then spent 19 years there as a teacher and now is starting his first year as the school principal.
"I was really looking forward to teaching fifth grade again，and they reached out to me and said， 'We think you're the leader the school needs.""
Huss thinks his success comes from a push from family.He wanted to show his young son，who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching，that you can do anything you put your mind to.
Huss's co-worker Melanie Cortez was also once a student of the school.She said， "The kids aren't used to seeing him in the office，so we have kids come in all day long asking 'Is Mr.Huss busy？We miss him so much!""
For Huss，it's about the opportunity to change a child's life. "Believe in every child.I'm here to help them see themselves in a different light，because that's what people have done for me my whole life，" he said.

3．Danelien van Aalst at the University of Groningen and her co-workers have done research on how relative age （相對年齡） affects popularity among 14 to 15-year-olds.
Researchers surveyed more than 13，000 teenagers in England，Sweden and the Netherlands on who they thought was the most popular in their class.Then the researchers gave each student in their classroom a popularity score linked to their birth month as well as their age position in their class.They discovered this：the older the student was，the more likely he or she was to be considered popular.
"A child enters school before or after a certain cut-off date and that determines how old or young you are relative to your year group，" says van Aalst. "We found that if you're born right after the cut-off date，which makes you one of the oldest members of your class，you're going to be popular."
They found that the same effect also applied at the year-group level.Here，it was the children who were the oldest relative to all of their peers in the year group-rather than just those in their own class-that were the most popular.
All three countries showed roughly the same pattern （模式）.However，at the classroom level，it was in the Netherlands that the pattern was the strongest.This is partly because the country has a system of grade retention - when students don't meet their academic requirements，their teachers will hold them back a year，which means they then become the oldest in their class and often the most popular.
This relative age effect has also been shown in other areas. "Relative age has earlier been proved to affect school performance-relatively older children do better in school，" says Herman van de Werfhorst at the University of Amsterdam.Similarly，previous research has shown that older children tend to be better at sports than younger students in the same year group.
（1）How did the researchers know who the popular students were？
A．By recording students' performance.
B．By studying earlier research results.
C．By collecting answers from students.
D．By comparing the ages of students.
（2）What does the underlined word "that" refer to in paragraph 3？
A．Popularity.
B．Relative age.
C．The survey data.
D．The cut-off date.
（3）What might happen to students held back a year in Netherlands？
A．Their teachers would be happy to have them in the class.
B．It would be difficult for them to pass the exams in Netherlands.
C．They might gain more popularity than others in the same year group.
D．They might be the most popular among the peers of the three countries.
（4）What does the passage mainly tell us？
A．The older a child gets，the wiser he or she will be.
B．Many students want to be held back to be popular.
C．Older children are likely to perform better in school.
D．Older children are often more popular than their younger peers.組卷：5引用：3難度：0.3

9．I jumped into my mother's car and threw my cross-country （越野） team bag into the backseat. "I'm so sick of it!" I said， "Training is less tiring than dealing with Jenny and her feelings."
The training has been going for weeks：stretching，running，pacing，lifting weights and making u into a team.Jenny is always the goddess of cross country.She is a coach's dream.She helps all of un faster by upping the pace.She cheers us on.She trains harder，but so do jye.ai.We are co-captains.However，this week，Jenny keeps saying she won't run with the team.She has all sorts of reasons from leg cramps （抽筋） to a headache.I have to beg her all day，between classes，at lunch，on the way to practice.She really wears me out.
"What's her deal？We're all tired of it.She's so needy." I complained.
Mom pulled into our driveway and shared with me Jenny's story.Jenny and her little brother have been together all this time in foster care （寄養(yǎng)）.They're really close.But his father，Jenny's stepfather，came for him this week.He had gifts and hugs and big plans for the boy's future.But Jenny got nothing.She wasn't even a little part of the big plans.
"Poor Jenny，not to have a family.Not to feel wanted or needed." I was close to tears.My mother patted my knee. "That's it，honey.You got it."
The next day，I was the last one to get on the team bus.Then I spotted Jenny.She was sitting in the back，alone. "Can I sit by you？" I asked Jenny.She shrugged her shoulders.I took it as a yes. "I was afraid you weren't going to make it today."
"I didn't think anyone would notice if I made it or not." Jenny said.
I looked at Jenny.I understood what she was really saying. "We would have noticed if you weren't here，Jenny.We want you to run with us.The team needs you." "Isn't that right？" I called to the team.There was silence.
Please，I thought，gave Jenny what she needed.________________
She ran with us that day.________________組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
