① When students graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is complete. But continuing learning after finishing school can help you become a lifelong learner.
② We can benefit a lot from being a lifelong learner. And making the effort pay s off personally and professionally. On a personal level, learning can be fun. It can give you something interesting to talk about. And it is good for your brain. Just as exercise makes your body stronger, your mind becomes sharper (更灵敏的) when you use it.
③ Being a lifelong learner can also help you with your work or job. Knowledge in other areas can help you develop creative ideas in your present job. Also, becoming an expert in an area outside of your present job allows you to take a job in another field if you want to.
④ So how do you become a lifelong learner? First, you need to decide to keep on learning new things even when it isn’t easy. It may help if you find friends who will encourage your learning. Second, you can find time to learn during your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audio books (有声读物) are also helpful. You can listen to them while traveling or doing chores.
⑤ It’s also a good idea to find ways to use what you’ve learned. It can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances (家用电器), try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about science, explain what you’re learning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!
5. We can ________ by continuing learning after finishing school.
① become sharper ② find learning is fun
③ have more creative ideas ④ become an expert in your present job

A promise made must be a promise kept. That’s what Patrick Moriarty, a former (以前的) science teacher tried to tell us. Not long ago, he fulfilled (兑现) a promise he made 46 years ago.
Moriarty once taught science in a junior high school in New York. In 1978, he told his students to circle April 8, 2024. on their worksheets, so they could watch the solar eclipse (日食) near their hometown on that day together. His students didn’t believe him. But Moriarty kept the promise in mind. For years, he told all of his classes to plan for a gathering far in the future.
Two years ago, Moriarty created an event online trying to contact (联系) his former students. As words spread, many of his students expressed interest in the eclipse reunion.
On April 8, Moriarty finally fulfilled his promise. About 100 of his former students got together and watched the solar eclipse. But it wasn’t the eclipse that surprised Moriarty-it was his students. “It’s not about the eclipse. It’s about you guys being here to share this time with my family, me and each other,” Moriarty said to his students.
Kevin Thompson and Chuck O’Brien two of Moriarty’s students, said they were thankful that their teacher kept his promise. “He wasn’t just a great teacher. He was an inspirational teacher,” O’Brien said.
Moriarty said that he will perhaps plan for another reunion for the 2044 eclipse. Moriarty will be 88years old by then. Let’s hope that he and his students will have another historic eclipse reunion!
9. Patrick Moriarty promised to ________ with his students on April 8, 2024.
A. have a science class B. plan an eclipse reunion
C. watch the moon rise D. hold a solar eclipse reunion
10. When Moriarty tried to contact his former students, ________.
A. no one believed him B. they got together and watched the eclipse
C. they were thankful to him D. many of them were interested in his invitation
11. According the passage, we can infer (推断) ________.
A. The solar eclipse surprised Patrick Moriarty.
B. There must be another solar eclipse reunion in 2044.
C. Patrick Moriarty was not only great but also inspirational.
D. Patrick Moriarty didn’t expect so many students to come at first.
12. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. A Surprise Party B. A Promise Made 46 Years Ago
C. A Great Science Teacher D. A Surprising Solar Eclipse
D
Recently, a study on how a new virtual reality (VR虚拟现实) experience educated children about the fire disasters was done. The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10~12. In the situation, they are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins and try to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learned to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have knowledge of fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to engage educate and empower the young. “As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events in a real situation yet within the safe environment,” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.” Although children have fewer life experiences, the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children don’t need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
13. From the findings, what’s the children’s attitude (态度) towards the new VR experience?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive.
14. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “engage” in Paragraph 3?
A. To give somebody a job.
B. To begin fighting with somebody.
C. To draw one’s attention and keep them interested.
D. To fit one part of a machine into another so that they can work.
15. From Paragraph 3, we mainly get to know the ________ of the new VR experience.
A. development B. advantages C. quality D. introduction
16. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Children make no difference in the fire safety at their homes.
B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school.
C. Well-designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools.
D. 91% of children believed they weren’t old enough to make safety decisions.

When it comes to making friends, humans often look for people with similar interests or personalities (性格). According to a recent study, so do flamingos (火烈鸟). ____17____
Scientist Dr. Paul Rose has already noticed that flamingos seem to form groups. He teamed up with Fionnuala McCully, a scientist in animal behavior. ____18____ They studied both Chilean and Caribbean flamingos living in a nature reserve in Gloucestershire, England.
Each bird wore a ring around one leg with a special code (编码), so that the scientists could tell them apart. McCully spent months studying their behavior and recording their personalities. She found that aggressive (好斗的) flamingos intimidate (恐吓) others in their friendship groups, while the quieter birds do not. ____19____ McCully and Rose found that for the Caribbean birds, personality seemed to matter more in friendships than it did for Chilean flamingos. They found this surprising because the two species are very similar in many ways.
The scientists said that it’s important to keep flamingos in a large group so that all personality types are included and each flamingo has the chance to find a like-minded friend. “Humans require friendships to be happy. ____20____” McCully and Rose said.
A. Flamingos might be the same as us.
B. Flamingos might not know if they need friendships.
C. Birds with similar personalities nearly always stay together.

A young man once saw a very rich man and was impressed by him. So he decided to become rich and started his own business. He worked hard and made some money.
A few months later, he met a scholar (学者). The scholar was knowledgeable. He was surprised at his rich knowledge, so he decided to become a scholar himself. So, he left his goal of making money the next day and started studying and writing to become a scholar.
He had just started to understand his studies when he met a successful musician. He found more attraction towards music and thus from that day he stopped his studies and started learning music.
In this manner, a long time had gone by. Neither could he become rich, nor could he become a scholar, nor could he become a good musician.
One day, the man met a wise old man. He asked the old man why he remained unsuccessful although he put in so much effort. The old man listened to his problem and said, “Son, in this world, you will see some attractions wherever you go. You should have your own goal and stick to it, then you will achieve success. You should understand that you will not be able to make any progress if you keep changing your goal again and again.”
