Few will put a pair of scissors in their handbags. But for Shi Qinling, scissors are always with her wherever she goes. Shi is a paper-cutting artist. She took an interest in paper-cutting when she was a child. At that time, she often played with paper, cutting it into different shapes. This interest later became a great love for paper-cutting. In 2010, Shi started learning paper-cutting and also got a job in Shanghai. At first, it was very boring for Shi because she had to spend at least eight hours cutting one shape every day. However, when she was able to cut a more difficult shape, she got a sense of achievement. That made her cut paper harder. After nearly 12 years of learning and hard work, she became the youngest paper cutting inheritor(继承人) in Shanghai. Her works were displayed in many exhibitions (展览会). She is really great. Although Shi is so skilled in paper-cutting, she keeps working hard to improve her skills. The reason is that she sees paper-cutting as not only an art form, but also a form of learning about Chinese traditional culture. For example, one of her works shows the culture of the Naxi ethnic group (纳西族). It's very creative. Shi plans to create more creative works of art to draw people to learn paper-cutting. She says,“Writers tell stories by using words. I do something similar, but with a pair of scissors. ( )51. When did Shi Qinling become the youngest paper-cutting inheritor in Shanghai? A. In 2010. B.

Some creative works C. A great paper-cutting artist D. The skills of paper-cutting (C) What is adolescence (青春期) ? It starts when you are aged between about ten and thirteen. Here are some changes about you during adolescence. You may not want to spend as much time with your parents as you used to. You want more freedom to do what you want to do. In the past, your parents made decisions for you. But now you want to decide things for yourself and don't want to be told what to do all the time. All these changes are perfectly common. But they will affect your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make life easier and get on well with your parents? Here are some of my suggestions. Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have lost forever the little child you once were. They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss and may even feel that they are refused by you. So try to show your love to them from time to time. Secondly, try to agree to rules. You may think these rules are unnecessary, but what your parents care most is often just to keep you safe. If you agree to the rules and try to follow them, your parents won't be so worried. Thirdly, try to understand your parents. Your parents will get cross if you spend three hours chatting with friends on social media and leave your homework till the last minute. That's probably because they want you to do well at school. Finally, it's all about communication! Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask them for advice if you need. ( )56.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Some changes during adolescence. B. The age of a boy or a girl during adolescence. C. The things that cause changes during adolescence. D. The decisions your parents made for you. ( )57. Which words are close to the underlined words“get cross”? A. Get angry B. Say sorry C. Get nervous D. Become happy ( )58. How many suggestions does the writer give? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five ( )59. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Culture B. Travel C. Fashion D. Teenagers ( )60. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To tell people changes during adolescence. B. To tell teenagers how to get on well with their parents. C. To tell teenagers not to spend too much time on social media. D. To ask teenagers to leave the homework till the last minutes. (D) The brain is the most amazing part of our bodies. But just like our bodies, it needs care. Getting a good night's sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important ways of looking after both your body and your brain. Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse. The truth is, just like your body, you can also improve your brain. I've found I can improve my memory by picturing what I need to remember. For example, if I'm going shopping and I need bread, milk and a birthday card for my brother, I picture a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk with a cow in the front and a birthday card with a football on it. The same kind of thing can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a special event, it’s much easier to remember than just a number. Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you often visit new places and have new experiences. I find learning Spanish is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication in any language is important. ( )61. What is the woman's aim in telling her experience? A.To explain how the brain works. B.To talk about problems with the brain. C.To describe how clever she has become. D.To tell ways to make the memory better. ( )62. What can we learn about the woman from the passage? A. She has a camera. B. She is learning another language. C. She likes shopping. D. She enjoys travelling. ( )63. How does the woman improve her memory? A. By doing some medical research. B. By looking after her body. C. By picturing what she needs to remember. D. By doing a lot of shopping. ( )64. What does the woman say about her own memory? A. It has been possible to make her memory better. B. Dates are more difficult to remember than numbers. C. It has got worse over the years. D. She often forgets birthdays. ( )65. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Easy Ways to Improve Your Mind B.The Latest Research into the Brain C. The Amazing Power of Memory D. How to Remember Things You'd Forgotten (E) Ladies and gentlemen, thanks a lot for joining us.
