A:
Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool to help her reach the bathroom sink.
However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a plank of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges, Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, sturdy platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets. Jeanie called her invention the “Kiddie Stool.”
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later, it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with imagination, anyone can be an inventor.
47. Why did Jeanie Low invent the Kiddie Stool, according to the passage?
(A) Many other five-year-olds had problems reaching the bathroom sink.
(B) She did not think that plastic stools were tall enough for her.
(C) She was invited to enter an invention contest held by her school.
(D) The stool in her bathroom was not firm and often got in the way.
48. Which of the following statements is true about how the Kiddie Stool works?
(A) The Kiddie Stool will swing out only when the cabinet door opens.
(B) The platform is supported by two pieces of metal.
(C) It swings from left to right to be attached to the cabinet door.
(D) It uses hinges and magnets to keep the wooden pieces in place.
49. What are the characteristics of Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool?
(A) Fragile and eye-catching.
(B) Permanent and foldable.
(C) Conventional and touching.
(D) Convenient and recyclable.
50. Which of the following sayings best captures the spirit of Jeanie Low’s story?
(A) Failure is the mother of success.
(B) There’s nothing new under the sun.
(C) Necessity is the mother of invention.
(D) Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
B: There are people jumping, rolling, and swinging their way across cities. There people are practitioners of parkour, a sport that has turned urban landscapes into challenging yet fun obstacle courses.
The idea of parkour is simple: Move quickly from point A to point B, using objects in your path to help you increase the efficiency of your movement. If a wall is blocking your way, climb over it. It there’s a gap before you, leap over it. Run, walk on all fours, bounce off vertical surfaces, or do anything else that will allow you to keep going forward. One rule of parkour is never to go backward.
Parkour started in France in the late 1980s. It grew out of military exercises that trained people to combine the mind and body in overcoming obstacles. For example, a primary move of parkour is the precision jump, in which a person must land on a precise spot after a jump.
Parkour looks incredibly fun, but without prior training, it can be extremely dangerous, and it has led to serious injuries.
To practice parkour, you need to go through careful training to build up your strength, balance, and coordination.
These days, there are parkour communities around the world that provide support for would-be practitioners. Beginners work with experts to learn the basic moves, which must be repeated until each landing can be achieved with accuracy.
Students also engage in intense warm-up by running laps and doing push-ups and squats. Then the real adventure begins when it’s time to hit the streets to practice parkour.
If you’d like to give parkour a try, you’re in luck because there are parkour groups in Taiwan. With training you can become more confident and experience the sense of freedom that comes from running and leaping across the city.

(A) A countryside adventure (B) A fun dance (C) A sport with precision jumps (D) An obstacle race 52.Which of the following is a rule of parkour?
(A) When you see an obstacle, always jump over it.
(B) You should try to climb over walls without any tools.
(C) Not matter what’s in front of you, never go backwards.
(D)If you see a gap, go around it.

(A) You could become a professional and make a lot of money.
(B) You could become a military instructor.
(C) You could become a stunt coordinator.
(D) You could become more confident

(A) Parkour started in the late 1980s.
(B) Parkour originated from military training.

C:
Childhood obesity is a condition where a child’s health is negatively affected because he/she has more than enough body fat. The extra pounds often bring children such health problems as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which were once limited to adults. It also leads to low self-respect, depression and other emotional problems.
While there are a variety of reasons why children become overweight, adults play a huge role in childhood obesity. As family sizes decrease, the children’s pester power increases. It is much easier for children to have their own way. They have easier access to high-calorie foods, such as candy, French fries and soda drinks. Furthermore, more and more children are driven to school by parents rather than walk to school or a bus station, which reduces their physical activity. Meanwhile, children today spend long hours indoors on their smartphones, iPads, computers, etc. On top of everything else, schools don’t put so much emphasis on PE courses on academic subjects.
As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” It should also be the best way to stop child obesity from happening.
Schools, parents and governments should work together. Schools can educate children and governments to come up with policies and practices that support a healthy lifestyle. Parents should make sure the way the family eats is healthy and exer - cise together with their children. It is important that parents set a good example. The goal in fighting the childhood obesity is to achieve an energy balance which can be maintained all their life.
With more than 42 million overweight children around the world, children obesity is truly a most serious public health problem in the century.
55. Which is NOT mentioned as a reason why childhood obesity is increasing?
A) Unhealthy eating habits.
B) Advertisements of fast food.
C) Easy access to junk foods.
56. Which of the following best explains “the children’s pester power” ? A) The ability to make their parents become angry.
B) The ability to make their parents become overweight.
C) The ability to make their parents buy things or do things for them.
D) The ability to make their parents become rich enough to buy many things.
57. Which is NOT mentioned in the article?
A) Childhood obesity is a global public health problem.
B) Childhood obesity may be caused by some medical condition.
C) The way to avoid becoming obese is to keep an energy balance.
D) Prevention of childhood obesity cannot be done by parents alone.
58. Based on the article, which best defines an obese child?
A) A child who eats a lot of unhealthy food.
B) A child who is heavier than children his age.
C) A child who suffers from some health problems.
D) A child who is very heavy in an unhealthy way.
59. Where can we most likely read the article?
