D Reading a good book is a wonderful journey because the reader can live in someone else's world for a while.Reading together with others,known as buddy()reading,will make this joumey even more fantastic.During the journey,the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities.This not only adds to the pleasure of reading,but also deepens their understanding of the books. 九年级英语试题第4页（共8页) Although it is all right to have students join in buddy rending with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones.And sometimes,choosing parents or older brothers or sisters can also be a great way.In 2021,Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year program. For example,when they listened to each other,they learned to be kind and patient.This experience also offered them a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others.A student called Jason said that rending to a younger buddy was really helpful.He became more confident,as he knew he was a role model for someone.Mario,a 42-year-old mother, finds it quite a useful way to improve the relations with his son,and she herself also becomes more interested in reading as well. The school also became a closer community().The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other.The students were always excited when they saw heir buddies pass by in the hallway. As the saying goes:reading makes a full man.Let's start to get into books.And on the way you are doing that,why not pair up with a friend,choose a book you both like and read it together? 52.Which of the following is NOT an act of buddy reading according to the passage?

B.Because tne students often met each other and then they felt more connected. C.Becausee school leaders asked the students to work harder together. D.Because heading makes a full man and helps people to know more about the world. 55.What's the writer's main purpose in writing the passage? A.To tell us the importance of reading and what books to read. B.To intraduce a way of reading and encourage readers to try the way. C.To ask barents to read more books and become better at reading.

Some people believe that overthinking maybe helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible angels()and get ready for what might happen.However,research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed,worried and sad. 6 .As you think the worst,make incorrect guesses,or worry about every little thing others do and say,you might misunderstand their intentions(). ⑥So,instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again,you can distract(转移注 )yourself for a bit.Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you're doing something fun,like gardening,or even while you're sleeping. Also,when you find yourself overthinking,challenge these thoughts.Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities.It can be hard at first,but recognizing that you are overthinking can help you make a change. 56..In which part ofa magazine can you see the passage?
