Pain hurts us, but could it be good for us? Is pain in fact helpful? Pain is the body's way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body. For example, if you break your leg, pain stops you from walking on it.If you didn't feel any pain, you would continue walking around and you could hurt your leg more. But why does it continue to hurt even after you have stopped walking on your hurt leg?That is because your body needs you to rest in order to have the energy to mend the broken bone. But how does pain work? We have special cells in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies,too. When something goes wrong, these cells send messages to the brain. The brain then makes us feel pain so we will stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Put your hand on a hot pan, and your hand's skin cells tell your muscles and your brain. Your muscles are able to quickly move your hand away from the heat. At the same time, your brain gets the message that something is wrong and you need to care for your hand. It all happens in less than a second. But did you know that the brain itself cannot feel pain? In fact, when doctors cut into the brain, they do not put the person to sleep. Because the person does not feel any pain in the brain,it is thought to be much safer if the person is awake while the doctor works. ( )49. What is the passage mainly about? A. How doctors work on the brain. B. How the body protects itself. C. How the brain moves our bodies. D. How the body works. ( )50. The underlined word“mend” in paragraph I means“ ”. A. heal B. hurt C. mix D. break ( )51. What may happen to people who can't feel pain? A. They may get hurt more often. B. They may not be afraid of falling. C. Their lives would be easier. D. They may not get hurt any more. ( )52. Why is it OK for a person not to sleep while a doctor works on his or her brain? A. Because a person needs to talk to the doctor. B. Because the brain does not feel pain. C. Because people feel more pain when sleeping. D. Because it makes the brain excited. C Do you like football?

If you also want to try greener ways to travel, the following ideas may help. 61 This is the greenest way! It needs no gas, makes no bad air, and is healthy. For short trips to school, the store, or a friend's house, walking is great. 62 It is just as green as walking. It's faster and lets you go farther. Many cities now have bike lanes, making cycling safer and easier. 63 Buses and trains can carry many people together. This means fewer cars on the road and less pollution. Choosing public transport really helps. 64 You can try to share a ride with others going to the same place(car pool). This puts fewer cars on the road. Or, choose an electric car-they make much less pollution than gas cars. 65 Before going out, ask yourself, “Do I really need to go?”, “Can you do several things in one trip?” Remember, every time you choose a greener way to travel, you help the Earth! Small choices make a big difference. A. Riding a bike is another excellent green choice. B. Walking is the simplest and oldest way to travel. C. Taking a taxi is quick when you' re in a hurry. D. When you must drive, try carpooling or a cleaner car(like an electric car). E. Flying is convenient for very long trips. F Use buses, trains, and other public transport more often. G.

My job was to help make the kids feel happy during their stay. Sounds interesting, right? 75 some people can't understand why I chose to do it. Let me tell you the reasons why I made this choice.

A recent survey shows that 70% of teenagers now read on screens(phones, tablets, e-books), while only30% like paper books. Why? Convenience is the key— digital books are easy to carry, and many are free. However, deep reading suffers. Teens say messages or videos often take their attention away when reading online. Paper books can help them focus better—65% say they remember stories longer when reading paper books. The most surprising finding? Teens who read paper books weekly feel happier. They describe the touch of pages and the smell of books as“comforting”. One 14-year-old said,“Closing my phone and opening a book feels like a break for my brain.” 84. According to the study, what percent of teenagers read on screens? 85. Why do paper books help teens remember stories better? 86. Which do you like better— digital books or paper books? Why? 1.70%. 2.Because they help teens focus better. 3.示例：Paper books.
