All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight and help kids do better in school. Scientists have also proved that outdoor activities at an early age can help children form healthy habits for life. But don’t expect kids to understand about those things. Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be attracted to the TV. So parents could do something to help inactive kids fall in love with physical activity.

If parents sit in front of the TV every night, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions(限制) you set on their screen time either. So check your own behavior and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life. Walk instead of driving if possible. Regularly join in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see how much you enjoy them. In this way, they may “do as the Romans do”. Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family plans as well as school, work and shopping. Then you and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan. And your children will begin to expect that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and on a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.

Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be worried about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure. They need all the support and encouragement from parents. Negative comments don’t work and will only make them feel bad. Remember, fix on the effort—choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill—rather than the result.

21．What’s the second paragraph mainly about ?

A．How parents can lead children to exercise.

B．Why children should enjoy exercise.

C．What activity parents can join in. 

D．When parents can watch TV. 

22. Which is not helpful for children to enjoy physical activity ?

A.  Good examples set by parents for children.

B.  A family routine of exercise.

C.  Support and encouragement from parents.

D.  Negative comments from parents.

23．What does the text tell us ? 

A．It is the result that always comes first.

B．Kids can choose either exercise or the TV.

C．Exercise is necessary for healthy development.

D．Children having few physical skills should be punished.

24．How can we describe the author’s attitude to children’s enjoying exercise?

A．Doubtful   B．Supportive      C．Opposed D．Unconcerned.

25.  From which is the text probably taken ?

A.  An ad     B.  A news report   C.  A magazine     D.  A science book

   A 17-year-old pilot has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.

    Rutherford also became the youngest person to fly around the world in an ultralight（超轻型的） plane. His sister, Zara, finished her own around-the-world flight in January at age 19. Until Wednesday, she held the ultralight record. Zara also set the record as the youngest woman to fly alone around the world. His trip, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries across five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator（赤道） twice.

    Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot's license in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15. His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel container.

    Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of several barriers, including rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.

    On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his

children's achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.

    His sister, Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight. "While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him," she said. "Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him."

26. How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his trip?

  A. 16 years old       B. 17 years old      C. 18 years old         D. 19 years old

27. For what purpose was the plane changed before the flight?

A. a faster speed.     B. a lighter weight   C. a longer flying time  D. an extra seat

28. Which is not the reason why Mack Rutherford couldn’t complete his flight in expected period?  

  A. the permits from some countries.

  B. some documents required for keeping with the flight plan

  C. the extreme weather conditions.

  D. the shortage of fuel.

29. Which is the right order of continents for Mack Rutherford to get through during his flight?

  A. Africa, Asia, South America, North America, Europe

  B. Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, South America,

  C. Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, North America,

  D. Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa.

30. What does the underlined word “documents” mean?

A. a personal flight ticket that allows a trip

B. an official paper that gives information about something.

C. a commercial letter about a business activity

D. a legal license for a pilot.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.

Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.

Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.

Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC．“Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”

Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.

31．What do we know about math anxiety?

A．It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.

B．It is most commonly seen among teenagers.

C．People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.

  D．Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.

32．What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply?

A．Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.

B．Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.

C．Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.

  D．Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.

33．How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?

A．Practice more before you take math exams.

B．Learn to understand your feelings.

C．Ask cognitive experts for help.

D．Take all nervous energy as a challenge.

34．Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?

A．To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.

B．To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.

C．To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.

D．To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
