B Can middle school students be "teachers"? How will they teach? Li Ziqi, a 13-year-old-boy from a middle school, volunteered to teach school students in a village. Li joined a teaching activity last summer. "I read the news that teachers were not enough in the village, so I wanted to give some classes to the kids there", said Li. His parents helped him get in touch with the school. "My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess,"Li said. Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. "Chess can help with kids' logical(逻辑的) thinking. They love the chess class very much," said Li.“They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so happy!" Before leaving, Li Ziqi visited his students' homes. One father went to town to buy tea drinks for him. “I was so moved by these people when I saw the drinks. I know it is a kind of expensive thing for the family," Li said. Li also learned important life lessons. "The kids there live a hard life, but they are hopeful about the future. That helps me get over hard things in life", Li said. ( )34.

D Li Zigi's favorite children C Nature's Warnings When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Step At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed(棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors or windows.They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games,don't! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. If you can't get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling towards tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing. Lightning Strikes(雷击) Lightning does not strike people very often. You might often see that happen. If you do,call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you will stay safe during a storm. ( )38. From Paragraph 1, we learn that A. storms are frightening and dangerous B. storms often come without warnings C people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm ( )39. What is the safest place for us to stay? a. A room with many windows when we're indoors. b. Under a big tree when we're in the open. c. The school playground. d. A room with no windows. A.ab B.bc C.bd D. cd ( )40. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. It's safe to stay indoors to play computer games during a storm. B. Reading books is more dangerous than using electrical things in a storm. C. We should not wash our hands when a storm comes. D. If a person is hit by lightning, you should move him or her to a safe place right away. ( )41. Where can we read this passage? A. In a story magazine. B. In a traveling magazine. C. In a science magazine. D. In a sports magazine. D A bird went to find its happiness in a faraway place. It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a little wilting(枯萎的) flower whose face was full of smiles. The bird asked,"You are going to die. Why are you still so happy?""I am going to bear fruit and my dream will come true,"said the little flower. Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart. The little bird kept flying. It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a lame(瘸腿的) duck, which was singing a song. Not knowing why, it asked the duck,"You are so unlucky. Why are you still so happy?""Because I saw a little duck fall. And I helped it stand up again!"Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart. The bird kept flying. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing a slippery wall. It fell off the wall for several times, but it went on climbing over and over again. Not knowing why, the little bird asked the spider,"You failed again and again. Why don't you have pain but happiness on your face?""I am sure to climb up the wall if I try my best. Because of this, I am so happy. "The little bird saw it: happiness is a faith(信念) in the heart. The little bird didn't look for happiness any longer, because it had seen the truth: happiness is not in the far away place but in your own heart. ( )42. What was the little flower's dream? A.

Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins(蛋白质) improves memory. 46 Eating oily fish or dark chocolate(with over 70% cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger. _ 47____ A 2011 study showed that regular exercise actually increases brain size. Another study found that exercise improved memory in some older people; surprisingly it found that one single training period had the same effect on memory as regular, long exercise period! One study found that eight weeks of short daily meditation(默想) improved memory. Other ways to relax can also improve our short-term memory. Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music. 48 Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn, but sleep can help._ 49____ A 2019 study found that students learned things better before and after a short sleep! To keep your brain in good condition, you need to use it. Try to memorize information like phone numbers and addresses rather than putting the information in your phone. You could also learn a language or do brain training like crosswords(填字游戏). A. Or even just take a shower! B. It's important to keep a healthy body. C. The role of exercise is really important too. D. For your brain to work well, 7-9 hours of sleep is necessary. E. Try to avoid sugary foods such as cakes and milk chocolate. 46._________ 47._________48._________ 49._________ 50.
