B Every Thursday morning, the 89-year-old grandma Wu Pinxian, plays beautiful piano music for people to relieve (缓解) their stress at Panyu Central Hospital in Guangzhou, CCTV News reported. Wu started to be a volunteer piano performer at the end of 2023. The hospital holds a piano performance every Thursday to make a relaxing environment and cheer up patients (病人). Wu’s music is effective: many patients and their friends sing along with her piano and some even become her fans. They don’t feel so nervous or scared in this way. Wu performs there every Thursday for one and a half hours with just a short break. Though Wu helps others feel better through her music, she herself feels sad because her husband died in December. But life has to go on. She finds that it’s meaningful to work as a volunteer in the hospital. It brings back the old memories. ▲ Wu spends three to four hours practicing the piano every day. After taking up the piano as a hobby, she wants to realize her dream even if she is already 89. “I believe playing the piano allows the patients to enjoy the music. Although I had not played the piano for a long time, it is good to play for others. I will do my best,”Wu wrote down in her diary. 21. Why does Wu play music in the hospital? A To meet more fans. B.

An Old and Kind Piano Player C. Great Piano Concerts at the Hospital D. How to Care for Patients Well C ①Do you find it hard to say “no” when someone asks you for help? Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can’t help them? And do you often pretend (假装) to agree with people even though you think differently? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be a “people-pleaser”. ②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build friendships. However, trying to please others without considering your own happiness can make you stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser. ③To start with, it’s important to know your limits and make “boundaries (界限)” in your life. Be clear about what you would like to do. You can also tell others that you are only available for a certain period of time. ④When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself some time to think, you’ll be better able to truly decide if it’s something you have the interest and time to do. ⑤People always try to please others because they have little confidence (自信) in themselves. They don’t consider their own need and interest. In this situation, you can try meaningful self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to waste your time to do things that don’t bring you joy. ⑥Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say “no”. Then, continue to say “no” face to face. Practice this in kinds of situations, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. ⑦Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful altogether. You can still do good things, but on your own situations. 26. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. giving examples B. asking questions C. telling stories D. answering questions 27. According to the passage, what can people do to stop being a people-pleaser? a. Set limits in your life. b. Consider others’ interest. c. Build up confidence. d. Start by taking small steps.

There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it? The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter. So how can you be friends again? Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life. 46.
