About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs, I 32 Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to 33 ?”

I live on the coast with beautiful sandy beaches. It’s the perfect 41 for my favourite hobby—making sand sculptures. I’d never thought of making sand sculptures before 42 some fantastic ones appeared all along the beach. Beautiful buildings and lovely animals were all made of sand. From that moment, I knew that this was something I just had to do, though I’d never considered myself to be a(n) 43 .
In fact, anyone can create a sand sculpture, but it’s much harder than it looks. The first sand sculpture I tried making was a two-metre long dolphin. I was making 44 on it until suddenly the head started to break off! I tried everything to 45 it, but it was hopeless. Soon the whole thing was a big pile of sand. Some people nearby seemed to think this was quite funny, but that just made me keep trying even 46 . I wished I’d listened to an expert (专家) on YouTube who recommends digging up 47 sand and to use it to build the sand sculptures because it sticks together better. So, I did that for my next sculpture of a camel. And I 48 to complete it in four hours, though it didn’t take me that long to make.
People say that making sand castles is for kids, not adults, but that doesn’t bother (困扰) me at all. Many people don’t understand that even a 49 touch can make a sand sculpture fall off. Of course, heavy rain can do some damage (损坏), but not as much as you might think. If you build far enough up the beach, the sea water won’t 50 a sand sculpture away either. So, when you’re next at the seaside, make one yourself—you’ll get a great sense of achievement!

45.A.fix B.mix C.change D.pull
46.A.faster B.longer C.harder D.later
47.A.wet B.dry C.soft D.tiny
48.A.refused B.preferred C.failed D.managed
49.A.heavy B.light C.rude D.quick
50.A.drive B.blow C.wash D.move

Most people follow others blindly. Some people feel it is safe to follow other people. In some rare cases it might be right, but in most cases this can make a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually, there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly.
According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong.
A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, “Are all of those people successful?” Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following others makes no sense at all.
Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re greater than you, then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re making decisions you might regret (后悔) later.
However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you doubt the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly.
63.Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage?
A.Because they don’t want to be different.
B.Because they are affected by the people around them.
C.Because they’re sure to take the right direction.
D.Because they want to make themselves successful.

A.多数的 B.特殊的 C.稀薄的 D.少数的
65.What’s the best structure (结构) of the passage?
①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, ③=Paragraph 3, ④=Paragraph 4, ⑤=Paragraph 5
A. B. C. D.
66.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Advantages of following others. B.Examples of following others.
C.Reasons of not following others blindly. D.Ways of following others.

Scientists studying the effects of gardening found that taking part in the activity twice a week can improve mental (精神的) health. A team from the University of Florida studied 32 women between the ages of 26 and 49 with no ongoing medical conditions. None of the women had gardened before.
The researchers divided the women into two groups: one group joined in gardening, while the other group took art classes. Both groups took the classes twice a week for four weeks.
During the gardening classes, the women performed tasks such as growing flowers, carrying plants to new places, and tasting plants that were safe to eat. After each class, people answered questions to express how they felt.
While both groups experienced improved mental health, the group who gardened benefited (受益) a bit more, reporting fewer bad feelings. The research team hopes to learn more about how gardening and mental health are connected. In the meantime, many women joining the study will continue to benefit. “At the end of the experiment, many of them were saying not just how much they enjoyed the classes but also how they planned to keep gardening,” said Charles Guy, one of the study’s lead scientists.
70. How many classes did the women take in the experiment?
A. 2. B. 4. C. 6 D. 8
71. What can we learn about the result of the study?
A. Many women will continue gardening.
B. Only gardening is good for mental health.
C. Gardening sometimes causes bad feelings.
D. Scientists knew all about the relationship.
72. What can be the best title (标题) for the text?
A. Women Enjoy Gardening More B. Gardening for Mental Health
C. Let’s Take Gardening Classes D. Pay Attention to Mental Health

One day, 50 people were attending a speech. The speaker was delivering a speech about happiness. However, after a few hours, people gradually lost their attention. The speaker came up with an idea. He stopped his speech and asked all of the people to join in a group activity.
He gave a single balloon to each person in the room. Each person was asked to write his or her name on the balloon with a black marker pen. Then, all of the balloons were collected and moved to another room.
The 50 people were then let into the room and told to find the balloon that had their name written on it. Everyone rushed around, wildly searching for their balloon. People were bumping into and tripping (绊倒) over each other.

“Can you see what happened?” the speaker said. “The balloons are like the happiness we seek in our own lives. Everyone is busy looking for their own happiness, not caring what happens to others. But sometimes the best way to find happiness is to help others. Help them find happiness and you can find your own.”

Dear Editor,
Learning that our school magazine is collecting articles on Chinese traditional culture, I’m very excited. There are many kinds of traditional Chinese culture. Some of them have a long history. They have influenced many people.
Among the many forms, I am particularly fond of Chinese calligraphy. This art form is not only a way of writing but also a means of expressing emotions and thoughts through brush strokes. It reflects the beauty and depth of Chinese characters.
Passing down traditional culture is crucial as it helps us understand our roots and build cultural confidence. It also allows us to share our heritage with the world, promoting mutual understanding and respect.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
