    For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. 
    But he's nervous. “I'm here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the“-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
    A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom. 
    Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say,‘I don't know, but I want to know.'”
    Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.
    “Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”

    As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
    Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device（装置）that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence（节奏）with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
    It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
    In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 

    During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. 
    Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior. 
    Enviable as the cool kids many have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
    In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
    Dr. Prinstein has also found the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others. 
    In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage,” he said.

      根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
    We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.”    36    According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
     37      If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉)and your brain.
    Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈).     38     In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.      39      It gives us a great feeling of peace.
    40    While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.
    A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
    B. So what are you waiting for?
    C. Being in nature refreshes us.
    D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
    E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
    F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
    G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

    Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa They   41   with them lots of waste. The   42   might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers (冰川) are disappearing, changing the   43   of Kilimanjanro.
   Hearing these stories, I'm   44   about the place--other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.
   However I soon   45   that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of    46   among tons of rubbish. I find a   47   mountain, with toilets at camps and the paths. The environmental challenges are  48   but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be    49    .
    The best of a Kilimanjaro   50    , in my opinion, isn't reaching the top. Mountains are   51   as spiritual places by many cultures. This   52   is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as    53    go through five ecosystems (生态系统) in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3,000 meters,     54    lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather    55    --low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I      56     twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4,000 meters is the highland     57   : gravel (砾石), stones and rocks.   58   you climb into an arctic-like zone with     59    snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear. 
Does Kilimanjaro    60    its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining  the atmosphere of peace? I found the opposite to be true.
