When you are waiting on a phone call with a pen in your hand or have nothing to do on a train, you may probably doodle (涂鸦). Consultant Graphology (笔迹咨询师) Tracey has studied the most common doodles and their meaning in a new piece of research. Here she shares the psychology (心理学) behind those doodles.
Circles: Drawing round shapes expresses the need to love and be loved.
Squares: If you’re drawing squares, then this shows a practical (脚踏实地的) nature.
Flowers: If your flower has a large round center, this expresses confidence and the enjoyment of a good social life.
Hearts: Hearts have always been symbols of love. It clearly expresses that you care a lot about others’ feelings, but easily get sad as well.
Coils (线圈): Drawing these complicated (复杂的) shapes means the doodlers have a colorful life and the ability of creativity. What unusual doodles they are!
Webs: This kind of doodles may be unusual and complicated, but drawing webs shows special personalities that are good at leading people to a special situation.
Boxes: It’s not good news for people who draw boxes. Tracey believes that while this shows great dreams, it can also be a sign of materialism (物质主义).
4. When does doodling most probably happen?
A. When driving a car. B. When feeling bored on the train.
C. When having a sleep. D. When cooking a meal at home.
5. What kind of doodles expresses that you pay much attention to feelings?

C. To make people know each other. D. To share the psychology behind doodles.
C
This year, 2024, is a leap year. February 29 is known as “leap day”. But what is behind this special day?
Everyone knows the Earth takes 365 days to travel around the sun. Well, that is not exactly correct. The Earth really takes 365 days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds to complete its orbit (轨道) around the sun.
So, almost every four years an extra (额外的) day appears on the calendar. Over time, our seasons would fall out of order without the leap day. Each calendar year is about six hours longer than 365 days.
However, a leap day is not added every four years. That would lengthen the calendar by 44 minutes, say experts. Over time, that would mean summer would arrive in November.
So a leap day is added nearly every four years, but not in years including 1700, 1800 and 1900. There was a leap day in 2000 because it was a year divisible (可除尽的) by both 100 and 400. Over the next 500 years, there will be no leap day in 2100, 2200, 2300 and 2500. There will be leap days in 2028, 2032 and 2036.
Without a leap day, farmers might have trouble planting in the correct season. Christmas would be in summer. There will be no snow and there will be no feeling of Christmas.
Another main concern for leap day centers on those born on that day. It only comes around once every four years. It can be an administrative (行政的) headache—some people must fill out official documents and say their birthday is either February 28 or March 1. Some computer systems have not yet included February 29 as a choice. But don’t worry if your actual birth date is February 29. You’re still as old as you think you are!
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
8. Which of the following can explain the reason for a leap day?
A. 6 hours×4 is a day. B. 365 days+1 day is 366 days.
C. 28 days+1 day is 29 days. D. 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds×4 is about a day.
9. According to the text, which of the following year has a leap day?
A. 1800. B. 2036. C. 2100. D. 2500.
10. What would happen without a leap day?
A. The weather would be out of order.
B. Summer is possible to arrive in November.
C. People won’t be willing to celebrate Christmas.
D. Farmers would be more likely to plant in the right time.
11. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Add a leap day every four years.
B. Have an extra day on the calendar.
C. Each calendar year is 44 minutes than usual.
D. The Earth takes more than 365 days to travel around the sun.

B. How can we solve the problems caused by leap day?

D
①“Mom, I want a cat,” or “Mom I want a dog,” or “Mom, I want a…,” are common words that parents may hear from their children more than once. However, there are many arguments for and against children owning pets.
②The first argument that supports pet ownership by children is that they are good company. When children come home from school pets are always there to greet them. They love children and always love to play. As a result, children won’t be lonely. They will also help to keep children active as they will need to be walked and played with every day.
③ ▲ Pets need to be looked after and be taken care of every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. For example, washing and feeding pets are important skills to learn. Learning these responsibilities will make sure that children will be able to look after themselves, and possibly their children one day.
④On the other hand, some pets can be dangerous. Some dogs, for example, may hurt others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft, but they do have very sharp claws (爪子). If they are treated in the wrong way, cats can use their claws to scratch.
⑤Besides, pets require a great deal of care. Many pets need showers, exercise and so on. As a result of this, children may neglect their studies because they are too busy worrying about their pet and its health.
⑥ A further argument against pet ownership is that pets are costly; buying food and caring them is expensive. Finally, the cost of owning one falls on parents, and as a result, children don’t fully understand the responsibility of having one.
⑦ In short, there are many arguments for and against pet ownership. Pets help to keep children company, fit, and they also help them to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous, they require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly.
13. Which of the following sentences can be put into ▲ in paragraph 3?
A. Some animals are friendly to children.
B. So their children can look after more people at school.
C. All in all, having a pet has a good influence on children.
D. Secondly, owning a pet encourages children to learn new responsibilities.
14. The underlined word “neglect” in paragraph 5 means ________.
A. put an effort in B. pay little attention to C. have no influence on D. show great interest in
15. Why are some people against owning a pet?
A. Because children can learn some life skills.
B. Because children love to play with pets happily.
C. Because children will have a poorer sense of responsibility.
D. Because they care about children’s safety, schoolwork and the cost.
16. What’s the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
17. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How to take good care of a pet. B. The problems of owning a pet.
C. The advantages of children owning a pet. D. Different opinions on children owning a pet.

Do whatever you have to do to lead yourself toward success. A lucky charm is also a great part of a ritual. It could be a necklace that’s important to you, or a silly stuffed animal like a teddy bear that cheers you on from your dressing room.
Think positively (积极地). Think about all of the possible amazing results of your performance instead of everything that could go wrong. Fight every negative thought with five positive ones. Keep a small card with encouraging words in your pocket, or do whatever you need to do to focus on all of the benefits that the performance will give you.
Get advice from a professional performer. If you have friends who have experienced performing, ask for their advice. You may learn some new tips and will be comforted by the fact that everyone gets stage fright, no matter how confident he or she may appear on stage.
