People get news from almost everywhere. According to a recent study, 60% of people read news on their smartphones, while 30% watch news on TV. 40% of them read news at least once an hour, and 20% read newspapers every morning. Young people like to share and talk about news on social media (社交媒体). It’s normal to feel a little upset when you see stories that seem worrying. There are things you can do to help with your feelings. It’s fun to learn about good stories, but bad news happens too. For example, reports about climate change (气候变化) can make you feel upset. “Bad news isn’t nice to hear,” says Dr Aaron Balick. “It is normal to feel worried about these things.” Studies also show that we remember bad news stories more easily and clearly. This is called “negative bias” and scientists say people have it because it’s a very old way to keep us safe and away from danger. If you’re worried about a story you’ve seen on social media, for example, ask your parents or teachers to help you find out if it’s true. Another way to deal with (应对) bad news is to put your worry into action. If you find stories about climate change upset, believe that you can help. Everyone can do something to make our world a better place. Also, “don’t keep your feelings to yourself”, says Balick. Talk to someone you trust, because this may help you understand where your feelings come from and why you feel this way. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By using numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Why do people have “negative bias” according to scientists? A．Because bad news happens more often.

If a honeybee stings (叮) someone, it will lose its life. Honeybees use the sun as a compass to find their way.

But when a person (人) says “How are you?” he hopes to hear the answer “Fine.” even if (即使) the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are common (常见的) ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”. Sometimes people also don’t say exactly (确切地) what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite, so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone. It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when a person wants to finish talking with the other person on the phone, he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he gives an excuse (借口) , for example, “Someone is knocking at the door.” The excuse may be real, or it may not be. It’s a polite way to finish talking and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. People don’t always say exactly what they are thinking.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi, and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li. Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius (孔子) is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to the Golden Rule in the West (treat others as you wish to be treated). Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age.

It’s the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow. Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name “hurry sickness”. People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often leads to mistakes and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy. “There’s so much we miss when we rush,” says Amy Arthur. “Slowing down helps us see more.” Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems. It’s not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind. 1．How does the writer introduce “hurry sickness” in the second paragraph?

It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Heads-raising Day”(Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February 24th. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain.

Do you know “dopamine dressing (多巴胺穿搭)”? It’s one of the most talked-about fashion trends (时尚趋势) for 2023. However, is there any science behind this? “Dopamine dressing” came out from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家) Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colourful clothing to get more dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical (化合物) in our brain (大脑). This kind of chemical makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat nice food, play with our pets, listen to our favourite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game. According to Science Focus, there are studies that show a relationship (关系) between the colours of our clothes and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can bring better physical performance (身体表现). It also showed bright colours can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the colour of nature. Yellow, the colour of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colours. In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colourful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a trend. It’s also a way of showing ourselves. So, next time you’re getting dressed, think about which colours will bring out the best yourself. 1．What is “dopamine dressing” according to the passage? A．A fashion trend for 2020.

Young people like to share and talk about news on social media (社交媒体). It’s normal to feel a little upset when you see stories that seem worrying. There are things you can do to help with your feelings. It’s fun to learn about good stories, but bad news happens too. For example, reports about climate change (气候变化) can make you feel upset. “Bad news isn’t nice to hear,” says Dr Aaron Balick. “It is normal to feel worried about these things.” Studies also show that we remember bad news stories more easily and clearly. This is called “negative bias” and scientists say people have it because it’s a very old way to keep us safe and away from danger. If you’re worried about a story you’ve seen on social media, for example, ask your parents or teachers to help you find out if it’s true. Another way to deal with (应对) bad news is to put your worry into action. If you find stories about climate change upset, believe that you can help.

It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But when a person (人) says “How are you?” he hopes to hear the answer “Fine.” even if (即使) the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are common (常见的) ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”. Sometimes people also don’t say exactly (确切地) what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite, so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone. It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when a person wants to finish talking with the other person on the phone, he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he gives an excuse (借口) , for example, “Someone is knocking at the door.” The excuse may be real, or it may not be.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi, and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li. Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius (孔子) is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to the Golden Rule in the West (treat others as you wish to be treated). Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess. 1．Which are the most important of the Five Constants? A．ren and yi B．ren and li C．li and xin D．yi and zhi 2．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

Do you know “dopamine dressing (多巴胺穿搭)”? It’s one of the most talked-about fashion trends (时尚趋势) for 2023. However, is there any science behind this? “Dopamine dressing” came out from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家) Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colourful clothing to get more dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical (化合物) in our brain (大脑). This kind of chemical makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat nice food, play with our pets, listen to our favourite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game. According to Science Focus, there are studies that show a relationship (关系) between the colours of our clothes and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can bring better physical performance (身体表现). It also showed bright colours can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the colour of nature. Yellow, the colour of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colours. In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colourful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a trend. It’s also a way of showing ourselves. So, next time you’re getting dressed, think about which colours will bring out the best yourself. 1．What is “dopamine dressing” according to the passage? A．A fashion trend for 2020.
