Three Good Things
As a teacher, I always hoped to give my students more than an introduction to classic literature and the skills to write good essays (文章). I wanted to teach some life lessons to help them live happily. However, it was a ____13____ who taught me a valuable life lesson.
I was feeling stressed and burned out that day, as I had felt on most days of that school year. One of my classes was very challenging, and I was ____14____ of trying to encourage a group of students who seemingly did not care about school. Near the end of my class, I was ____15____ graded essays to my students. After Jill got hers, she read my comments (评语), checked the grade, smiled up at me, and said, “This will be one of my three good things for today.”
I had not heard that ____16____ before, so I asked her, “What does that mean?”
She explained, “Every night before I go to sleep, I think of three good things that happened that day. A good thing doesn’t have to be something big or important. It can be a kind word from a friend or a good meal.”
“Thank you for sharing that with me,” I said. “That sounds like a really good habit that encourages you to find good in life every day.”
Honestly, I was a little ashamed. A sixteen-year-old student had just taught me a life lesson that I really ____17____, as I had seen only the problems in my life.
That night I started to ____18____ the “three good things” habit, and was amazed at how easily I could recall three wonderful things from the day—the discussion I had with my students about a book, the beautiful rainbow I saw, and the evening walk at the park. Focusing on those things was much better than replaying the unpleasant things during the day.
During the next few days, I felt a renewed sense of hope. I was always looking forward to ____19____ my “three good things”.
Throughout the years, I have continued to work on being ____20____ and thankful, although life has thrown challenges and difficulties at me.

Martin had worked in his family’s bakery (面包店) all summer and had saved over a thousand dollars. His father gave him his last paycheck and reminded him, “Do you remember that you agreed to donate 10% of your earnings (收入) to a charity?”
Martin didn’t want to give away his money because he was planning to buy a new video game, but he knew it was useless to argue with his parents. They donated 10% of every sale to a hospital every month.
Martin searched online to find a way to donate. He found an organization that helped people make small loans (贷款) such as $50 or $100, to those in need. When the borrower paid the money back, the donor could lend it to someone else. Martin read stories of people worldwide who had received loans and used them to better their lives.
Martin found a woman who had asked for $100 to buy a sewing machine so she could work to support her family including sending her children to school. There was a photo showing her standing in her house. Martin was shocked by the condition of the house. The walls looked old with some holes, and the floor was hard-packed dirt. Martin decided that his new video game could wait, and he clicked the Donate Now button.
A few months later, Martin received an email from the organization. He read through the message and smiled. His $100 had just been repaid. The woman had bought a new sewing machine, and people were coming from other villages to buy her clothes! There was a new picture at the bottom of the message showing the woman in a new dress and her two children in their school uniforms. The holes in the walls had been fixed.
“My money did all this?” Martin was very surprised and happy. He re-lent the $100 to a man who needed money for his coffee farm. With his part-time jobs at weekends, he decided to continue lending 10% of his earnings to help more people, following his parents’ footsteps.
24. Martin didn’t want to donate his money at first because ________.
A. he was saving to improve the bakery B. he was planning to buy a new video game
C. he needed the money to go to the hospital D. he wanted to give the money to his parents
25. How did Martin feel when he first saw the woman’s house in the photo?
A. Interested. B. Worried. C. Shocked. D. Excited.
26. What event most changed Martin’s opinion about donation?
A. When his parents reminded him to donate.
B. When his parents kept donating to the hospital.
C. When he read about some people’s stories on the website.
D. When he learned his money helped the woman’s family a lot.

Do you consider yourself a creative person? If you answered “sadly, no”, you needn’t worry! This article will change your opinion on creativity and teach you how to be creative in everyday life.
Many people believe that creativity is a special talent that only a few lucky people are born with. But it’s actually a skill that everyone can learn and improve through practice. Some people think, “Creativity is not so important to me since I’m not an artist.” However, creativity is more than just artistic expression. It’s connected to everyday activities and influences the way we live, work, and communicate in our relationships.
So, what’s in it for you in learning to be creative in everyday life? Creativity is a powerful tool for problem-solving. When facing a challenge, creativity encourages us to explore unusual solutions. Research shows that developing creativity can improve mental health. Whether it’s drawing, playing music, or even cooking a new dish, creative activities help reduce stress, increase self-confidence, and give you a sense of achievement. Creativity is also good for personal growth. When we push ourselves to be creative, we learn more about ourselves, our interests, and our abilities.
Then how can you be creative in everyday life? First, stay curious and pay attention to the world around you. This can lead to new discoveries. For example, you can take photos of objects or views that amaze, move, or interest you from your daily life. Second, step out of your comfort zone (舒适区) and try new things. If you are not a “writer”, try writing a poem or a very short story. If you are not good at handwork, attend a woodworking or pottery workshop. Third, cooperate with people. You can often develop creativity in a cooperative environment, such as in community groups or local clubs.
You may feel unskilled or silly at the beginning of your creative efforts. Don’t worry! Everyday creativity is about free self-expression and doesn’t have to be anything perfect, so stay playful and enjoy the process (过程).
Creativity is as important to humans as eating healthy meals or getting exercise. It can enrich our daily experiences and help us solve problems more effectively. So, pick your favourite creative activity and make time for it today!
27. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Benefits of everyday creativity. B. Suggestions on creative activities.
C. Opinions about what creativity is. D. Challenges in developing creativity.
28. Which activity is best for developing creativity?
A. Copying a poem by a famous poet. B. Writing in the way you are good at.
C. Exploring a new hobby like robotics. D. Practicing swimming every weekend.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Creativity mostly depends on natural ability.
B. It’s easier to develop creativity when working alone.
C. It’s hard for people to solve problems in a creative way.
D. Everyday creativity is more of enjoyment than of achievement.
D
In recent years, self-care has become a popular topic across social media. However, many people find it difficult to truly receive the benefits. Why? Because we’ve lost touch with what it really means to take care of ourselves.
Self-care is often seen as something grand and expensive only for special times or when life gets very stressful. Real self-care, however, doesn’t require a lot of money or time. It’s about finding simple, meaningful ways to check in with yourself regularly (定期地), even among your daily responsibilities. It could be taking five minutes to breathe deeply or having a cup of tea quietly.
One of the most important aspects of self-care is the ability to be fully present in the moment. Imagine lying on the beach while checking emails or social media. The purpose might be to relax, but the reality is that your mind is still taking in information, leaving you feeling just as tired as before. Presence requires mindfulness—fully getting involved in the activity rather than focusing on what’s next on your to-do list. When you’re present, even simple acts of self-care become powerful tools for refreshment.
The most effective self-care practices are often the simplest ones—those that can easily fit into your daily routine (日常事务). What matters most is consistency because it strengthens the habit of checking in with yourself and satisfying your needs in time. Consider the influence of just a few minutes each day on something that makes you feel good, such as enjoying a moment of silence during your lunch break or going for a short walk. These small acts, when practiced repeatedly, can have an increasing effect on your well-being.
Practicing self-care, however, can be difficult. For some people, there’s always a voice that says, “There’s too much to do to waste time on self-care.” This inner voice makes us think that taking time for ourselves is selfish. Others may feel regretful for stepping away from their responsibilities, even for a short time. These inner blocks are an important reason why self-care can feel stressful. You should clear them and allow yourself to care for your physical and mental health without self-judgement.
As you deal with the challenges of daily life, remember that self-care is a necessity. By focusing on presence and consistency and by dealing with the inner blocks that hold you back, you can unlock the true benefits of self-care.
30. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 3?
A. To explain the purpose of self-care. B. To stress the importance of mindfulness.
C. To introduce a common way of relaxation. D. To show the difficulty in fitting self-care into life.
31. What does the word “consistency” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Enjoying what you are doing. B. Finding out what you really need.
C. Keeping a regular practice of an activity. D. Doing different things for your well-being.
32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A. We should put our responsibilities before self-care.
B. We should avoid self-judgement while caring for ourselves.
C. The more time we spend on self-care the more effective it is.
D. Practicing self-care when feeling stressed requires a lot of money.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. What Is Real Self-Care? B. Why Is Self-Care So Difficult?
C. Self-Care: Common Practices in Daily Life. D. Self-Care: The Key to a Healthy and Happy Life.

Going shopping for new clothes can be great. However, what you might not realize is that the fashion industry, especially “fast fashion”, is harmful for the planet.
What is fast fashion?
Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible so customers can buy them.

The fashion industry is responsible for between eight and ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) which pollute the air and cause climate change. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a fabric (织物) called polyester, which causes harm to the environment. Clothes factories dye (染) fabrics with lots of chemicals, which can also pollute the environment.
Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton plants need to be often watered to grow, and turning cotton into clothes needs even more water. It takes 10,000 litres to produce a kilogram of cotton, so a single pair of jeans for an adult can use 7,500 litres of water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the places where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion clothes aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them any more, which makes a lot of waste.
Who is helping?
Lots of people are working for change, Experts investigate (调查) the environmental and social cost of clothing. People use the information to speak out and ask companies to change. Some clothing companies offer customers vouchers (购物券) to encourage them to recycle their clothes. Some charities have held Second Hand Month, asking people to buy only second-hand clothes in that month. Governments of some countries have written a set of rules to encourage companies to make clothes that last longer. You can help too. You can also raise awareness of the problem among your family and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school.
34. What does fast fashion refer to?
____________________________________
35. Please write a heading for Paragraphs 3 and 4.

36. Why do some clothing companies offer customers vouchers?

37. What can you do to help reduce the harm of fast fashion? Please list two points and give reasons.

Dear Mr. Zhang,
I am excited about the upcoming Reading Sharing Week. I would like to offer a few suggestions. First, students can be invited to share their favourite books in different ways, such as reading aloud, painting, or acting them out. These ways can make the sharing more creative and interesting. It is also a good idea to set up a book exchange corner to encourage book recycling and introduce students to new books or writers. Besides, students can discuss popular books, which can help them better understand the characters or the themes.
Thank you for considering my ideas.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】例文
I’d like to share a moving experience that I have had. I had a hard time with my math in Grade Eight. One day, I got a very low score and felt sad. In the evening, I couldn’t hold back my tears and told my dad about my trouble. He comforted me and studied my math test paper carefully. Then he spent about an hour helping me with all the difficult problems. He was so patient and his eyes were full of encouragement.
I was greatly moved because I learned that no matter how hard things get, my parents always love me and can give me as much support as possible.
