SALT LAKE CITY—The Utah Jazz basketball team signed a 5-year-old．Free-agent player to a one-day contract for a special performance in October．The Utah Jazz has just made his dream come true．The boy has suffered from blood cancer since 2012．
JP Gibson，who was diagnosed with severe blood cancer，signed his contract with Jazz President Randy Rigby before joining the team for the pre-season training play at Utah Jazz’s sport center．JP was joined by his parents，Josh and Megan，and his 2-year-old sister，Elsie．
The activity was hosted by the Jazz and photographer Jon Diaz’s“Anything Can Be”project，which provides support and hope to families like the Gibsons．Jon Diaz asks children with cancer what their dreams and wishes are，and he writes their stories in a book．

JP，wearing a No．1 shirt，even got to play in the play．He passed the ball，and Rudy obert，a player of Utah Jazz，lifted him up so he could dunk(扣篮)and shake hands with some players as fans were cheerful．
“JP loves most sports，but basketball is absolutely his favorite，” Megan Gibson said in a statement released by the Jazz．“When he was just over one year old，he would sit with my husband，Josh，watching games．He started insisting on shooting hoops(投篮)for an hour each night before bedtime when he was just 15 months old．He knows he has to be 6 before he can play Junior Jazz，and he reminds us all the time that he can’t wait until he’s 6．”

22．“Anything Can Be”project ____________．

B. provides support and hope to kids loving basketball
C．has kids with cancer write their stories in a book
D．ofers assistance to those who are in misfortune
23．According to the passage，JP Gibson _____________．

You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes．But now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation．
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately．Frankfurt-based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising money to put his €54(￡43) sticker into production．
Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen，having set it up with key information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that，when touched by a traffic policeman，will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine．The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone，which will appear on the sticker’s screen．
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way，a German law．The law states：an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car．
Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way．A spokesman said，“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket．However，a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning．”
So far，Mr．Kalliontzis has raised just over €3，000(￡2，362)of his €50，000(￡39，381) goal．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．
24．The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________．
A．explain how a smart car sticker works
B．advise drivers to buy a car sticker
C．show the importance of a sensor
D．tell drivers how to park a car
25．We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________．
A．car owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticket
B．smart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in Germany
C．traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car
D．the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers
26.The underlined word“discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”．
A．trouble    B．pressure    C．freedom D．opportunity
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Daniel Kalliontzis — a great inventor
B．Environment-friendly car stickers
C．Parking systems in Europe
D．End of the parking ticket?

I often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this：There are some qualities always unhappy people have．Here are some of them．
Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times．They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess，and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible．Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the“look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side．
Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them．Generally open and friendly towards people they meet，happy people foster(培养)a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart．Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and don’t think strangers can be trusted．Unfortunately，this behavior slowly closes all chances of meeting new friends．
Unhappy people believe someone else’s good fortune steals from their own．They believe there’s not enough goodness to go around and always compare others’against theirs．This leads to jealousy(嫉妒)．Happy people know that others’good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if they try hard enough．They believe in unlimited possibilities and don’t get stuck in thinking one person’s good fortune limits their possible outcome in life．
There’s only so much space between the two ears．Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry and fear．Happy people experience fear and worry too，but make an important difference between feeling it and living with it．When fear or worry crosses a happy person’s mind，they’11 ask themselves if there’s an action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it．If not，they realize they’re spinning in fear and they lay it down．
32．Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to _______________．
A．focus on what they really want
B．get worried about what will happen
C．stay focused on the past misfortunes
D．find a way to live through hard times
33．According to paragraph 3 and 4，unhappy people ______________．
A．1ike making some new friends
B．hate seeing others with good fortune
C．are more likely to be cheated by strangers
D．believe they can get good luck by working hard


34．What is imphed about happy people?
A．They don’t think life is hard．
B．They hardly ever fear anything．
C．They try to get out of their fear or worries．
D．They don’t believe in every people they meet．
35．How is the text mainly developed?
A．By making comparisons．
B．By giving examples．
C．By showing detailed data．
D．By proving some theories．

A“Gap Year”is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university．It is often spent travelling or working．  36  ．The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：
