Soon after Laba is the new year.” Laba Festival is known to our Chinese people. It marks a special day. 1 2 The porridge is also called “eight treasure porridge”, because it usually has at least eight things. Rice, beans, dried fruits and peanuts are very popular in the porridge. On the night before the festival, mothers are busy preparing their porridge. 3 When kids wake up in the morning, they smell the aroma (香味) and rush to the kitchen to have a feast (宴席). Another custom on Laba Festival is to prepare Laba vinegar (醋) for dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Eve. People peel garlic (蒜) and put it into a jar filled with vinegar. 4 Some people also like to pickle (腌渍) meat on Laba Festival.

I thought I was the unluckiest person and the worst child in the world. One day I got into a big fight with one of my classmates. 2 Just at that moment, a boy stood up and stopped the fight. He was the monitor of our class. 3 Whenever I got angry or sad, he would help me to cool down. He was always there to help me when I was in difficult situations. My life began to change because of such a kind boy, my best friend. We spent a lot of interesting days together. As time went by, I became happier and happier with people and things. And it seemed that people around me changed, too. 4 But now, I can’t often see my best friend because he is seriously ill and staying in hospital. I always remember the time when we spent together.

People don’t need to sleep so long, but our sleep is important too. 2 You spend the day learning at school and playing, and at night your body and brain relax, right? Wrong! In fact, when you are sleeping, your body and brain are very busy getting ready for a new day. 3 After a full night of sleep, you wake up in the morning and are ready for a new day of school, interesting activities and family time. 4 By the end of a day, your body is in need of sleep. You are like a car, with your petrol tank (汽油箱) full in the morning, and empty at the end of a day.

Passage 4 I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier desk (收银台) in her general store. 1 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely. At first, I was paid in candy. 2 I worked after school, at weekends and during holidays. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3 When I was 12, I did such a good job that I began to sell cosmetics (化妆品). I could look customers directly in the eye. Women would ask, “What colour do you think I should wear?” I translated (翻译) what they wanted into make-up (化妆) ideas. 4 The job taught me a valuable lesson: To be a successful salesperson, you need to listen. 5 Now they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me. Instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed. A．Later, I received 50 cents an hour. B．Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

Passage 5 After a long week, Sunday is the perfect day to sit down with families, relax and enjoy a special dinner: Sunday roast (周日大餐). 1 British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church (教堂) on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry. 2 So what is this tasty? Every Sunday dinner has roast meal, usually chicken or beef, roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding. 3 What if you don’t have time to make the traditional dinner? Not to worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants, called carveries. 4 The name carvery comes from the act of cutting the meat into small pieces before putting them on a plate. 5 Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school. With many traditions disappearing, traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this tradition dimmer will be on British tables all the time.

Passage 6 The British people have their own customs. 1 . Here are some important ones. 2 , but why do they like to talk about it? There are probably two reasons. One is that in Britain the weather changes very often. The other is that talking about the weather is a way of being friendly. “Ladies first” is also a British custom. 3 . This can protect her from cars, to help her get on and get off the bus and to do many other things for her. The British have the habit of waiting in line. 4 if he or she cuts into the line. So don’t jump the queue. In England, you should never ask a woman her age. 5 . Don’t bargain (讨价还价) in Britain when you go shopping. The British people do not welcome bargaining, and sometimes they consider it losing face. A．It is polite to let a woman go first B．Their traditions and habits are quite different from those of Chinese people C．The English people love to talk about the weather D．The English people will be friendly to you E．All the women think that it is impolite F．The British people will look down upon someone G．The Chinese people don’t like to talk about the weather Passage 7 More and more people are interested in labor education (劳动教育) nowadays. 1 As students, doing housework is the best way of labor. But some people think that students only need to study hard and should not spend much time doing housework. 2 Here are my reasons. 3 This is because what the school teaches is not only knowledge, but also how to adapt to society (适应社会). The same is true for the family. Doing housework shows duty towards the family. Second, doing housework can help us become hard-working and help you learn some labor skills. In the future, these will be helpful to us. Finally, studying at school is to learn the skills we will need in the future. 4 No one wants to be useless (无用的) in the society. President Xi Jinping once said, “The people’s life lies in hard work, and hard work brings prosperity (繁荣).” The same is true for students. 5 A．We should help parents to do the housework. B．First, teachers often ask students to clean the classroom at school. C．I think this idea is wrong. D．It’s important for us to learn some labor skills in our life. E．Labor education is also the first test for us to get into society. F．The more skills students have, the better they are. G．It is interesting to do the housework. Passage 8 What is DIY, why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work. 1 One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. 2 So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. 3 What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). 4 Many people remember the days when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. 5 and if they needed something, they also made it themselves. Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings. A．But he is too busy to do some DIY. B．In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. C．But it is not easy for him to relax after work. D．And they also say it helps them save money too. E．Some people think doing DIY is a waste of time.

Passage 9 It’s common to feel scared when we are trying something new. Lots of people feel that way! Trying new things can be exciting, but it can also be a little scary. To solve the problems, it’s good to first find out why. 1 . One reason why new things are scary is that we don’t know much about them. Our minds like things we know because they make us feel safe. 2 . We feel scared of being not successful. The third reason is that we worry about what others will think if we try something new and don’t do it well. We might think, “What if I make a mistake in front of my friends?” But you know what? 3 . So how can we overcome (克服) the fear of trying new things? First, start small. For example, if you’re afraid of public speaking, don’t try to speak in front of lots of people in the very beginning. It’s better to practise speaking in front of fewer people. Second, accept the fear. 4 . Third, don’t care too much about the results. We don’t always get things right for the first time, but mistakes make us learn and grow. Fourth, do something we can control. When we’re scared, we often come up with “what if (要是……会怎么样呢）” questions. Worrying about these things isn’t useful, and we should try to do something we can control. 5 . A．Here are some reasons. B．It’s normal to feel afraid of trying new things. C．Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and it’s okay! D．Second, try your best to solve the problems. E．Ask your parents to help with your problems. F．Then we can overcome the fear and enjoy trying new things. G．The second reason is that new things can sometimes bring new problems. Passage 10 Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll give you a talk about going online. We know that there are many Net bars (网吧) around us. 1 . Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. 2 . They can get the e-mails right away (立刻). It can help us keep in touch with (与……保持联系) people from all over the world. 3 . Some of them even stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online, so they don’t study well any more. 4 . We can go online in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents. At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4: 50 to 5: 50 in the afternoon. 5 . We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet. That’s all! Thank you. A．But some students spend too much time in playing computer games. B．There are too many outdoor activities we can’t do after class. C．I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. D．The Internet helps us a lot and makes our lives interesting. E．We can play basketball or football during the time. F．Also we can send e-mails to our friends. G．Going online is not a good way to learn new things. Passage 11 It only takes seven seconds for people to make judgements (判断) about you when they first meet you. That is why you should follow these useful tips on how to make a good first impression (印象). 1 For example, if you want to make new friends, you should be friendly. If you decide to run for the class monitor, you will need to be confident (自信的). Then, smiling is the most important thing you can do when meeting someone new. It shows that you are friendly. 2 To have a winning smile, make sure that your teeth are clean by brushing them every day. Before you start speaking, you will be judged by your body language. 3 Besides, if you want to show you are friendly, just uncross your arms. 4 If you have an unpleasant body smell, it will make people feel uncomfortable. In short, try to smell clean and don’t use too many scented (散发着浓香的) things. 5 Suitable clothes are necessary when you are going to a birthday party or a sporting event. A．So it is important to stand up straight. B．Talking too much will make others feel bored. C．And it makes people around you feel more comfortable. D．It’s important not to talk about some personal information. E．You should also think about what your clothes say about you. F．Your smell is very important when you meet for the first time. G．Before meeting someone, start thinking about why you will meet. Passage 12 Most people enjoy listening to music. But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers. 1 What do these differences say about people? Researchers from the University of Cambridge tried to answer the questions. They surveyed 350, 000 people from 50 different countries. 2 One result shows that outgoing people prefer rhythmic music and danceable music. People who enjoy country music are shown to be more serious about their work. 3 The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But in fact, these people liked neither of the two types of music above. 4 Perhaps this type of music helps reduce their stress. The researchers also found that climates might influence people’s musical preferences (偏爱) and personalities. People in warmer climates prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This maybe because of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. Of course, nothing is clear-cut (肯定的). 5 The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think. “People may be divided by geography, language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg, the leading researcher. “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.” A．Do you enjoy listening to music? B．In fact, they prefer loud and powerful music. C．Too much stress puts people in a bad mood. D．We may not group people just by their musical tastes. E．Then, they discovered some connections between musical preferences and personality. F．Why do different people have different musical preferences? G．Another result is quite interesting. Passage 13 Some British people like to invite friends for a meal at home. If you are invited to their homes, you should know some manners (礼仪) about it. 1 Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring some flowers, chocolate or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually dinners start with drinks. In order to be polite, you can say how much you like the room or the pictures on the wall. 2 Or it will make your hosts unhappy. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. 3 First, you’ll probably start the meal with delicious soup or something small, and then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables. If you want something from the other side of the table, you can say “Could you please pass that over?” Pay attention to using your knife and fork correctly. 4 It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and take more if you want. Do you enjoy the evening? After you come back from the dinners, you can do something to give thanks to the hosts. 5 British people like to say “thank you” all the time.

Ask your hosts (主人) what time you should arrive. 2 Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks (小吃). If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. 3 In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert (甜点), followed by coffee. 4 Did you enjoy the evening? 5 British and American people like to say “thank you, thank you, thank you” all the time!

G．It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolate or a bottle of wine as a gift. Passage 15 Future and Today It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. 1 I have to say that the future is now. That is to say, we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well. There is an old English saying, “Gain (得到) time, gain life.” Then what’s time? 2 but we feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”. 3 Because when money is spent, we can make it back. But if time is gone, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless (无价的). We should always remember: 4 For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create (创造) a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything as well as possible. And never put off (推迟) what can be done today till tomorrow. As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, 5 Remember: No pain, no gain. Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest (收获). A．Time is less important than money. B．and your future will be brighter. C．The future is now. D．But time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money. E．But do you know what future really is? F．And you can make your dream come true. G．Time is something that we can’t see or touch, Passage 16 Interesting people are often popular. 1 Then how can you become an interesting person? Here is some useful advice. 2 Doing the same things every day can be boring. You can learn a new sport or pick up a hobby. New activities will make your life full of fun and surprises. Go on a trip as often as you can. Seeing more of the world can help you learn more about different people and places. 3 These can give you lots of material to make your talk fun. Spend more time with interesting people. 4 Watch how they talk. Over time, you may become interesting. Ask questions. Being interesting can mean talking about yourself, but it also means showing interest in other people. Asking questions shows you are listening.

He is Michael Rosen from England. 1 In fact, he teaches writing at a school in London. He also works as a writer and poet. 2 His most famous book is We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. It is very popular among children in many countries. Another best-seller, Sad Book, is about his sadness after his son Eddie died at the age of 18. In 2023, Rosen got PEN Pinter Prize. One of the judges (评委) was Amber Massie-Blomfield. She says Rosen has a real gift (天赋) for writing. 3 The man is an “example” not only for children but for grown-ups, too. Rosen was happy to get the prize. But he says he is happier when he is writing. He thinks writing is like a lovely room. It’s full of possibilities (可能性). 4 Rosen says the sad things in his life are like “corners”. There is an English expression, “I have turned a corner.” It means we get over something and we’re moving on to the next thing. In real life, there is always a “next thing”. 5 A．He is becoming world-famous for his “Nice” meme (表情包). B．Nobody knows what the expression means exactly.

Everyone can make friends and have a wonderful life at school. But there may be less time to have a healthy lifestyle (生活方式). Without it, students may get ill more easily. 1 A healthy lifestyle starts with a good eating habit, so what you eat is very important. 2 Healthy food can give you a clear mind and more energy (能量). 3 Although exercise is important, it can be difficult for most busy students. Even if you plan well, you may give up. So a person who can exercise with you is important. 4 It gives you a way of making friends and relaxing.

In this way, it will help you fall asleep as soon as possible. 3 Second, don’t eat too much food before you sleep. Eating too much will make you feel bad and go to bed late. 4 If so, you may get up late the next day. 5 You may be busy in the day, so you try to do some exercise at night. This is not a good choice. Too much exercise at night will make you feel excited. It’s not easy for you to fall asleep in a short time. That’s why you find you often want to sleep for a while the next morning. A．Last but not least, don’t do too much exercise at night. B．Here are a few tips before you sleep. C．Because you can do something important with a fresh mind in the morning.

Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Nobody can refuse (拒绝) a big smile. Look for the good things in your friends and family. Learn something new! 4 but when you fall in love with them or make some progress, you’ll be much happier. Stay with your family.

It can be hard to focus on (专注于) what the teacher says when your mind wanders (走神). In this article, there are some useful tips to stay focused in class. So, what are you waiting for? Start reading! First of all, you can prepare before class to stay focused on the lesson. Before class starts, try looking over your homework, reading from your textbook, or reviewing yesterday’s notes. 1 2 If you’re having a hard time focusing, try changing where you sit. A new space and environment can help you focus more on the lesson, especially if your old seat was full of distractions (分心之事). Studies show that students who sit in the front of a classroom have better grades. Taking notes during class is also a good way. 3 As your teacher talks, make an outline with a few side notes on the really difficult topics. Use a colored pen to make important words and phrases stand out. What else can you do? Remember that the present moment is the most important. To pay attention in class, do your best not to daydream. 4 Save thoughts about things outside of the classroom for later. 5 Everyone learns in different ways!

And on the day of making a gift, you can share that love with someone you care about. Make a Gift Day is on December 3. 2 The day is coming. If you don’t know what to buy, why not make a gift on this day? 3 There was a time, not all that long ago, when a handmade gift was the only kind of gift you could give. In the past, gift-givers would spend time making gifts for their friends. Whether it’s a simple handmade wallet, a new skirt, or a baby bed for a soon-to-be baby, everything is handmade with love. You may wonder how to celebrate Make a Gift Day. It’s an easy one! Make handmade gifts on this day! Try your hand at making a gift, no matter what it is. 4 DIY some gifts with your friends.

The easiest thing to do is to smile, and it can make yourself look friendly. If you cross your arms on your breast (胸) and have your headphones on, your body language is saying “Stay away from me!” 3 On the other hand, if you’re feeling confident, you can try to get close to someone. Just say “Hi, do you mind if I sit here?” 4 After that, keep talking, by finding something you have in common. Maybe the person is reading a book you’ve read or has some other good things that interest you. 5 If you follow the advice, you can make a lot of good friends. A．It is a great way to break the ice.

In Western countries, 1 . You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, 2 . Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting. Of course, 3 . After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are all more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is thought to be very intimate (亲密的) in their country, 4 , like couples (夫妻). But people’s attitudes (态度) toward hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. People who joined the party clearly looked uncomfortable, 5 . They decided that hugging doesn’t have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel. A．hugging is not the only way to make others happy B．it usually only happens between people who are really close to each other C．people often greet close friends or relatives with a hug D．They sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems E．people in different countries have different ideas when it comes to hugging F．you can hug him to cheer him up G．but after the party, several of them changed their minds Passage 25 After a long week, Sunday is the perfect day to sit down with families, relax and enjoy a special dinner—Sunday roast (周日大餐). 1 British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church (教堂) on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry. 2 So what is this tasty dish? Every Sunday dinner has roast meat, usually chicken or beef, roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire puddings (布丁). 3 If you don’t have time to make the traditional dinner, don’t worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants called “carveries”. 4 The name “carvery” comes from the act of cutting the meat into slices before putting them on a plate. 5 Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school. With many traditions fading (逐渐消失), traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this traditional dinner will be on British tables. A．These are puddings made with eggs, milk and flour (面粉). B．It is becoming popular in other countries now. C．British people are very busy on traditional Sunday dinners. D．This is a tradition for many British people on Sundays. E．There you can eat a Sunday roast. F．Besides the tasty food, this meal is also a great time for families. G．So families would get together to eat a big meal. 题型2 六选五 Passage 1 Hello, I’m Jason. 1 Well, there are a lot of good restaurants in my city, and the best one is Steak House. It is the best because it has the nicest steak and the freshest salad. It is close to the center, so it gets crowded after 6:30 p.m. every day. If you want something cheaper, you can go to Fish House. It’s better than many other restaurants. 2 Fish House is farther from the city center than Steak House. Hamburger House is popular with young people. However, I don’t like it. 3 But you can listen to the most popular music there.

However, living with my parents also brings some problems. Luckily, I have some rules to solve them. 2 Most people think privacy (隐私) is very important in their lives. If you want your parents to knock on the door before they come into your room, you should do the same thing before you enter their room. Only in this way can you show them the importance of knocking. Do some chores. 3 But if you choose to do chores before your parents ask you to do so, you will feel in control of your own time. Also, you can choose the chores that you like to do. Don’t always criticize (批评) others. It’s easy for you to criticize your parents because you know they love you the most. 4 But that doesn’t mean you should do that. You should be polite to them and talk with them in a nice way. 5 Sometimes arguments (争吵) happen between you and your parents because it’s difficult to get on well with everyone all the time.

The first Chinese-made commercial (商业的) aircraft took off from Shanghai on Sunday and landed at Beijing Airport. 1 . The company that made the plane is the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. 2 . Newspapers in China called the C919 “a symbol of industrial prowess and national pride”. A passenger on the flight was impressed with the plane. He said, “The flight was quite smooth, comfortable and unforgettable. 3 .” COMAC hopes to be a major player in the commercial plane market. It hopes to compete with industry giants such as Boeing and Airbus. COMAC started developing the C919 in 2008. 4 . In September 2022, it passed the standards to fly commercially in China. COMAC’s first customer was China Eastern Airlines, which bought five of the aircraft. COMAC plans to build 150 planes each year for the next five years.

On 26 March, the United Nations decided to create a day to honour play worldwide. 2 It’s an important part of their growth. Play makes them move around, so they can be healthy. It also helps them make friends and know how to work with others. All of these things are important. In fact, play doesn’t only happen in free time. In school, play can make study more interesting. It helps kids remember information they need to learn. 3 However, 80 percent of children said their parents don’t think play is important. 4 The data (数据) came from a survey made by YouGov and the Child & Youth Friendly Governance Project in 2023. The groups surveyed about 10, 000 children from more than 20 countries. Now, some organizations (组织) want to tell people the importance of play. 5 “Play is powerful,” Melsaac says. “Through play, children understand and find out more about the world.” A．So they may like learning more. B．Do you think play is very important? C．Play is more than just a fun time for children. D．They still think that study is the most important thing. E．Almost every kid around the world likes to play in the park. F．That’s why they worked together to create the International Day of Play. Passage 7 Have you heard of China travel? These days, the phrase is becoming very hot on the social media abroad. More and more foreign visitors like Baobaoxiong, who created the phrase “city不city”, are visiting China and posting their travel videos on the social media. 1 Thanks to the 144-hour visa-free policy (144小时免签政策), travellers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa. The visa-free policy first started in 2013, letting people stay in a few cities for only 72 hours. 2 It has attracted (吸引) more travellers to China. In the first three months of this year, a large number of foreigners visited China through the visa-free policy. Seeing is believing. 3 Many of them are surprised that China has already been such an unbelievably good, beautiful and modern country. However, nowadays these foreign visitors don't just want to visit some most popular places of interest. 4 Some like going to the local vegetable markets, some choose to ride shared bikes and others join square dancing in parks. Then they share their experiences (经历) on the social media. 5 Here are three expressions these travellers always use: “Good!”, “Great!” and “Wow!” A．China is a country with a long history.

Passage 8 Recently, a video series (网剧) called Escape From the British Museum (《逃出大英博物馆》) became popular online with its touching and interesting story. 1 It is about how a Chinese jade teapot (玉壶) runs away from the British Museum and finds its way back to China. In the video series, a woman vlogger (视频博主) plays the role of the jade teapot, while her partner helps the jade teapot go back to China. Why does this story touch people a lot? 2 The British people took away quite a few relics (文物) from different countries hundreds of years ago. 3 The British people kept them in the museum. On Aug 23, the British Museum lost 2,000 relics, which were from different countries from the 15th century BC to the 19th century. 4 What’s worse, someone sells the lost relics at very low prices online later. Some countries, such as Greece (希腊), are asking the museum to give their relics back. 5 We believe we are able to keep them safe in our country. We have to say that they belong to (属于) China, and they always play an important role in Chinese history. A．You may wonder what it is about. B．They were jewellery (珠宝), stones, glass and so on. C．However, they didn’t take care of them well enough. D．Knowing this, people around the world feel angry (气愤的). E．Chinese people also hope our relics can come back as soon as possible.

You may think that traveling by yourself is scary or boring. 2 Now more and more people choose to travel alone. Traveling alone can be as enjoyable as traveling with people you know. It can help you make new friends and get to know yourself better. 3 Some people use the time to learn or practice a sport such as mountain climbing or swimming. Some people go and stay on a farm and learn how to ride a horse. Some people like to study on their vacation. They go to “vacation school” or join a research team (研究组) to work for free. 4 You can try something new when you give others a helping hand.

D．Do you make a plan carefully before you travel? E．There are trips for women or for people over the age of 60. F．There are many different things people can do on a vacation alone. Passage 10 Maybe you want to exercise more or start going to bed earlier in the coming year. 1 · Make a detailed (详细的) plan. If your New Year’s plan is to exercise five days each week, a plan like “I’ll exercise on weekdays” would not be clear. A detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at school on weekdays during my lunch break” would be better. 2 · Make it fun. If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you won’t keep it easily. 3 If you can only drink your favourite juice during study hours, you’ll look forward to studying. · 4 Tell a few friends about your goals so you’ll feel a deep sense of shame if they check back later and find out you haven’t followed through. · Give yourself more chances.

Passage 11 Some people don’t make any plans before taking a trip. They think it is very exciting and has more fun. 1 Here is why you should make vacation plans. 2 Before going to a place, get information about what to see and how best to go about it. You may miss out seeing some things if you don’t plan well. You won’t forget things to take. You need to plan what things you have to buy and what things you need to put in bags. For example, you want to visit one place, but when you arrive at the airport, you forget to bring your plane ticket! 3 You can save a lot of money. 4 If you surf the Internet before you go on a vacation, you may find some cheap plane tickets and hotel rooms. 5 By planning your way, you can make the most use of your days and save time to do the other things you like. A．You can save time. B．But it is not good. C．You may be late for the plane. D．You can know what’s there to see. E．Making plans before travelling is not necessary.

Passage 13 Do you hear of the “Da Zi” friendship? 1 Although “Da Zi” friends are not close, they share the same hobbies (爱好). When you want to eat or play sports with someone, but not want to share all your information with him or her, “Da Zi” can be the best for you. Good friends can make you happy when you’re sad. They can help you when you face difficulties. 2 “Da Zi” is not a true friendship. Friendship needs more time to keep. 3 Some will stay with you for a long time. But others may leave after a short time. 4 Just try to enjoy the friendship as long as you can. If you’re really sad about lost friends, you can try to talk to them and ask them about it. If someone does not want to be your friend anymore, that is just his or her choice (选择). Also, it might be better to just have a few close friends. 5 A．What should we do then?

This also helps you feel more comfortable when talking with others. 2 Smile to others so they will think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. 3 Try to start a talk. If you find it hard to do so, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to those people? 4 Don’t waste (浪费) time worrying about your looks or if people like you. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. 5 Each time after you say “hi” to someone for the first time, say to yourself “You did it!” or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice-cream.

E．Talk to others first. F．Tell people you are shy. Passage 15 Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. 1 If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. 2 For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat (重复) them. Don’t try to write down every word in class. 3 Some students really learn better with the help of these notes. 4 If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

About 6, 200 students from the four countries were questioned. 1 Half of Chinese students spend more than 2 hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than students of the US (26.4%), Japan (8.2%) and Korea (5.2%). 2 About 45% of Japanese students say they often sleep in class. In Korea, it’s 32%, in the US. it’s 21% and 5% in China. 3 American students are the most active in class. But 64.2% of them say they talk with friends in class, 46.9% say they eat food in class, and 38.9% say they send e-mails or do something else in class. 4 In their free time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet. Most American students go out and play with their friends. Most Japanese students do sports. Most Korean students watch TV. 5 American students spend 80 minutes on housework every day.

B．What do they do in the free time? C．Who is the most hard-working? D．Who Spends More Time on Housework? E．How Often do They do Homework? F．Who Is the Most Distracted (注意力分散的)? Passage 17 As summer gives way to autumn, many of us want warmth and sunlight. It is common for some of us to feel down when the days get less long. 1 While autumn sadness is a common seasonal feeling we have as there is less sunlight, for some people, it takes on a more serious form known as seasonal affective disorder (季节性情绪失调), or SAD． 2 People who have SAD usually oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. Commonly, almost all people who have SAD feel sad and helpless. 3 Johns Hopkins University points that if people get less natural light during the autumn and winter months, their body’s hormones (荷尔蒙) will be influenced (受影响). 4 Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way. Patients are advised to let under sunlight or man-made light that copies natural sunlight. Light therapy can help regulate patients’ hormones and get their lives back on track. 5 For example, you can keep a regular sleep schedule, take part in regular physical activity, and have a balanced diet. It’s worth noting that, in most cases, SAD begins in young adulthood. So, while learning in books and classes, don’t forget to enjoy the sunlight outdoors and get energy from nature! A．People call this autumn sadness. B．Dealing with SAD often needs medical help. C．But it’s not an easy job to find out what leads to SAD． D．On the other hand, living a healthier life, can also be helpful. E．SAD mostly starts in late autumn or early winter and goes away in spring and summer. F．Scientists are still not sure about the reasons for SAD, but it makes a difference to people’s health. Passage 18 Look at the young man in the picture. His name is Zhang Yihao. He loves taking trips. 1 He loves sharing (分享) his trips on the Internet and people call him the “Train Brother”. In 1996, Zhang was born in Yuncheng, Shanxi. His love for trains started early. 2 He got excited every time he heard the train whistle (汽笛声). When Zhang goes on trips, he often takes a suitcase (手提箱) with him. What is in it? Diaries (日记簿)! Zhang has 25 diaries. In his diaries, he writes about places he visited and draws pictures like train tickets and maps. 3 Last summer, Zhang took a train to the city Tai’an and walked up to Mount Taishan (泰山). In the diary, Zhang wrote, “People say Mount Taishan is the best. Now, I know why!

Passage 19 Do you ever compare (比较) yourself with other people? 1 Accepting (接受) who you are can help you feel happier and more positive (积极的) about yourself. Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are, and taking notes of what you’re good at. Self-acceptance means caring about the parts of you that don’t show well, like being careless or untidy. 2 When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. 3 Many young people may think they have to perform best. In fact, it’s not true. Some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, for example, but they might be talented in other places, like finding a creative way to work out problems. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. 4 Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Ask your friends for help. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to pick yourself up, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film. 5 A．We are all different in our own ways. B．Everyone has good and bad sides, and it’s OK not to be perfect. C．This makes you feel surer and more comfortable about yourself. D．You can also look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting enough sleep. E．To accept yourself, start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. F．It’s a habit that includes (包括) being kind to yourself even when you make something wrong. Passage 20 Have you ever tried to hide your emotions (隐藏情感) from someone during a conversation? 1 Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to know other people’s emotions according to changes in the color of their faces, The Guardian reported. They studied pictures of people’s facial expressions (面部表情). 2 For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and temples and a little blue around the chin. 3 “We believe these color patterns (模式) are because of small changes in blood flow (血液流动),” scientist Aleix Martinez told The Guardian. But this brings the question: Is it just the color, or also facial expressions, that help people tell others’ emotions? To find this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. 4 Those people were able to tell the emotions right 75 percent of the time. This may explain why there are some Chinese sayings about emotions and the color of one’s face. For example, when two people are fighting about something, we say they are mian hong er chi. 5 A．When a person is very angry, we’d say he or she is lian se fa qing. B．Lots of people do this so that others can’t tell how they really feel. C．They found that every facial expression has a different color pattern. D．It’s not always easy because the colors on your face may tell the truth. E．They asked some people to tell what emotions the faces were showing. F．Hate creates a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead. Passage 21 For most of us, watching a movie is a pretty common thing to do. But for the blind (失明的), it is challenge (有挑战性的). 1 In Kunming, there is a blind-friendly theater—Xin Deng Theater (心灯影院). More than 500 volunteers help there to describe films to blind people. 2 The volunteers must watch a movie many times to know everything in it so as to clearly describe it. Zhou Quan, the founder of Xin Deng Theater, will teach them how to describe a film before working. Zhou Quan’s uncle is disabled (残疾的), so he knows how hard the disabled people’s life is. Some of them think life is meaningless, he said. 3 Once he learned that there is an organization (组织) helping the blind by describing movies to them. 4 In 2017, he started Xin Deng Theater. “Movies are for everybody,” said Zhou. “Xin Deng Theater hopes to share movies with blind people.” Every Saturday, many blind people come to Xin Deng Theater. When the movie starts, a volunteer describes what is happening on the screen, and the blind immerse (沉浸) themselves in the movie. Wang Fokun was unlucky to become blind in his early 50s. 5 “I listened to a movie for the first time in the summer of 2019. The volunteers did a great job,” he said. A．The job can be challenging. B．Zhou wants to do something for them. C．He then planned to start such an organization. D．He doesn’t plan to make any money through the theater. E．Every Saturday, he walks 40 minutes to “watch” a movie at Xin Deng Theater. F．However, for some blind people in Kunming, Yunnan,things seem much simpler. Passage 22 On October 1st, a fantastic new movie called A Tapestry of a Legendary Land was shown in the cinema. The movie is based on (由……改编) a famous dance poem drama (诗剧). 1 It tells us about Xi Meng, a great painter from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). 2 When he was only 18, he put his heart and talent into finishing the painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (千里江山图). But after that, he disappeared, leaving little information. The movie brings Xi Meng’s short life to audience. We can experience his story through the eyes of a modern exhibition (现代展卷人). 3 “Green” is the symbol of the mountains and rivers, showing how wonderful the painting is. “Green” also joins the past and the present together. 4 Zhan Han, the actor who plays Xi Meng, copied the painting to understand how Xi Meng felt when he was creating. While acting, he gave his all to the role, just like Xi Meng did with his painting. The dance poem drama has been performed around the world almost 600 times so far. And it has got great praise (赞扬). Filmmaker Han Zhen thinks this movie will also be a great success when it’s shown internationally. 5 A．To get closer to the roles in this film, the filmmakers and actors did lots of things. B．They want the dance performance to be the most important part. C．He is great talented in painting and loves mountains and rivers. D．Surely, Chinese culture is ready to shine on the world stage. E．And there is a special character called “Green” in this film. F．It is a special mix (结合) of dance and movie magic. Passage 23 Many students get ill (生病的) easily in autumn. 1 What can we do to keep ourselves healthy? Here are some ways to help you. Enough healthy food 2 Some students don’t like to eat breakfast. They make a big mistake (错误). Breakfast is a very important meal in a day. If you want to be healthy, you should cat less fast food. Vegetables and fruit are delicious and healthy. We’d better drink 500 ml milk every day. 3 Doing exercise is another way to make you healthy. So you should do some sports after class. Doing sports can make you strong. Enough smiles (微笑).

But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers. 1 What do these differences say about people? Researchers from the University of Cambridge tried to answer the questions. They surveyed 350, 000 people from 50 different countries. 2 One result shows that outgoing people prefer rhythmic music and danceable music. People who enjoy country music are shown to be more serious about their work. 3 The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But in fact, these people liked neither of the two types of music above. 4 Perhaps this type of music helps reduce their stress. The researchers also found that climates might influence people’s musical preferences (偏爱) and personalities. People in warmer climates prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This maybe because of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. Of course, nothing is clear-cut (肯定的). 5 The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think. “People may be divided by geography, language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg, the leading researcher. “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.” A．Do you enjoy listening to music? B．In fact, they prefer loud and powerful music. C．Too much stress puts people in a bad mood. D．We may not group people just by their musical tastes. E．Then, they discovered some connections between musical preferences and personality. F．Why do different people have different musical preferences? G．Another result is quite interesting. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．G 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述的是通过研究展现不同的人对于音乐有不同的偏好的原因。 1．根据下文“What do these differences say about people?”以及“Researchers from the University of Cambridge tried to answer the questions.”可知，下文是在回答“这些问题”，所以空处也是一个问题；根据上文“But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers.”可知，此处与不同的人的音乐偏好有关，选项F“为什么不同的人有不同的音乐偏好？”符合语境。故选F。 2．根据下文“One result shows that outgoing people prefer rhythmic music and danceable music.”可知，此处指音乐偏好和个性之间的关系，选项E“然后，他们发现了音乐偏好和个性之间的一些联系。”符合语境。故选E。 3．根据下文“The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But in fact, these people liked neither of the two types of music above.”并结合选项可知，结果与研究人员预测的不同，是很有趣的，选项G“另一个结果相当有趣。”符合语境。故选G。 4．根据下文“Perhaps this type of music helps reduce their stress.”可知，此处介绍另一种类型的音乐，选项B“事实上，他们更喜欢大声而有力的音乐。”符合语境。故选B。 5．根据上文“Of course, nothing is clear-cut (肯定的).”及下文“The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think.”可知，这里说明不同文化的人也会更加相似，一切都不是一刀切的分类，所以不能只凭借音乐品味来分类人群，选项D“我们不能仅仅根据人们的音乐品味来分组。”符合语境。故选D。 Passage 13 Some British people like to invite friends for a meal at home.

It is common for some of us to feel down when the days get less long. 1 While autumn sadness is a common seasonal feeling we have as there is less sunlight, for some people, it takes on a more serious form known as seasonal affective disorder (季节性情绪失调), or SAD． 2 People who have SAD usually oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. Commonly, almost all people who have SAD feel sad and helpless. 3 Johns Hopkins University points that if people get less natural light during the autumn and winter months, their body’s hormones (荷尔蒙) will be influenced (受影响). 4 Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way. Patients are advised to let under sunlight or man-made light that copies natural sunlight. Light therapy can help regulate patients’ hormones and get their lives back on track. 5 For example, you can keep a regular sleep schedule, take part in regular physical activity, and have a balanced diet.

They studied pictures of people’s facial expressions (面部表情). 2 For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and temples and a little blue around the chin. 3 “We believe these color patterns (模式) are because of small changes in blood flow (血液流动),” scientist Aleix Martinez told The Guardian. But this brings the question: Is it just the color, or also facial expressions, that help people tell others’ emotions? To find this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. 4 Those people were able to tell the emotions right 75 percent of the time. This may explain why there are some Chinese sayings about emotions and the color of one’s face. For example, when two people are fighting about something, we say they are mian hong er chi. 5 A．When a person is very angry, we’d say he or she is lian se fa qing. B．Lots of people do this so that others can’t tell how they really feel. C．They found that every facial expression has a different color pattern.

More than 500 volunteers help there to describe films to blind people. 2 The volunteers must watch a movie many times to know everything in it so as to clearly describe it. Zhou Quan, the founder of Xin Deng Theater, will teach them how to describe a film before working. Zhou Quan’s uncle is disabled (残疾的), so he knows how hard the disabled people’s life is. Some of them think life is meaningless, he said. 3 Once he learned that there is an organization (组织) helping the blind by describing movies to them. 4 In 2017, he started Xin Deng Theater. “Movies are for everybody,” said Zhou. “Xin Deng Theater hopes to share movies with blind people.” Every Saturday, many blind people come to Xin Deng Theater. When the movie starts, a volunteer describes what is happening on the screen, and the blind immerse (沉浸) themselves in the movie. Wang Fokun was unlucky to become blind in his early 50s. 5 “I listened to a movie for the first time in the summer of 2019. The volunteers did a great job,” he said. A．The job can be challenging.
