At the present time, more and more people love travelling. It’s a very good 1 of getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring (获得) experiences. It helps travelers 2 a lot. Travel can make our minds become 3 .
But travel does more than all that. It can also make us more creative. In recent years, some professors have been doing research on what many people have already learned from travel experiences. They believe that spending time abroad has the 4 to affect (影响) people’s mind. For example, they found that the students who lived abroad for a longer period were better at 5 problems creatively than those who did not. If you stay in the same place, you can’t experience new sights, new smells, new sounds and new cultures. All these can 6 your mind and make it more active.
7 , that doesn’t mean the more places you’ve been, the more creative you’ll become. Another group of professors have been doing 8 research. They found the people who often travelled from one place to another didn’t have enough 9 to immerse (使……沉浸) themselves in a new place and a new culture. They weren’t as creative as the people who spent the time 10 getting to know a place. You have to interact (相互影响) with the places you go to and then you can benefit (得益) from it.

三、阅读理解
A
This year, many kids’ movies have come out. With so many great ones to choose from, we have picked three of them for you. Let’s take a look together!
Orion and the Dark
Release Date: Feb 2, 2024
Orion has a great many fears-but he’s especially afraid of the dark. So you can imagine his surprise when an embodiment (化身) of the dark shows up to take him on an adventure to show him there’s nothing to be afraid of. The Netflix movie is based on a book by Emma Yarlett, but the script (剧本) was written by someone who knows a thing or two about writing movies about anxieties (焦虑): Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Being John Malkovich.
Robot Dreams
Release Date: May 31, 2024
This film, based on the comic by Sara Varon, received an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. (It lost to The Boy and the Heron.) It’s about an anthropomorphic (拟人化的) dog who, to help with feeling lonely, orders a robot to be his friend. The lack (缺少) of words and overall sadness give the impression that it’s not exactly aimed at kids, but the older ones might get into it.
Mufasa: The Lion King
Release Date: Dec 20, 2024
Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-nominated director of Moonlight, directs a prequel (前传) to The Lion King about Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) and his relationship with Scar (Kelvin Harrison, Jr). Don’t expect 2D animation similar to the original, though: This one will be done in a realistic-looking CGI (电脑成像技术) style, similar to the 2019 remark of The Lion King and Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner even reprise (重新出演) their roles as Timon and Pumbaa.
1.Who wrote the book that was later filmed as Orion and the Dark?
A.Emma Yarlett. B.Charlie Kaufman. C.John Malkovich. D.Sara Varon.
2.What is the main theme of Robot Dreams?
A.Dealing with loneliness. B.A dog’s adventures.
C.The importance of words. D.Friendship between humans and robots.
3.What story does Mufasa: The Lion King feature?
A.A story about Mufasa in the afterlife. B.A story about Timon and Pumbaa.
C.A story about a new lion king. D.A story between Mufasa and Scar.

Now, more and more people have difficulties in falling asleep. “In fact, we can train our brain to fall asleep,” says sleep expert Michael Grandner. Here are his top ways.
Make a plan and stick to it.
Melatonin (褪黑素) is produced by the body to control when you get sleepy and when you wake up. As night falls, the levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed. And the levels naturally fall as daylight comes near, getting you ready to greet the day.
The release (释放) of melatonin needs to be at regular (有规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change from day to day, your body doesn’t know how to respond (回应). So it’s important to have a regular bedtime and wake up time, even on weekends.
Don’t lie in bed awake.
In fact this way is very helpful. Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up. Maybe you just need five minutes to get sleepy, or maybe an hour, but don’t spend that time awake in bed.
Change your attitude (态度) about sleep.
Many people regard sleeping as the final thing in a busy day, so they would rather delay sleeping to do housework, schoolwork or others. That thought needs to be changed. Make sure your sleep time is enough in order to work better the next day. It may sound like a small change, but it’s an important one.
4.When do the levels of melatonin rise?
A.When you’re tired. B.When night falls.
C.When you feel sleepy. D.When daylight comes.
5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A rise in melatonin levels tells the body it’s time for bed.
B.Enough sleep time can’t make you work better the next day.
C.It’s not necessary for us to sleep or wake up at a regular time.
D.It’s best to stay in bed if you’re awake too long during the night.
6.What does the underlined word “delay” mean in Chinese?
A.暗示 B.督促 C.调理 D.推迟
7.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of sleeping well. B.The change of bedtime and wake-up time.
C.When to go to bed and wake up. D.How to train your brain for better sleep.

Imagine you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game is not worth the time,” one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue (争吵) with them, you go along with the group.
You have just experienced what is commonly called peer (同伴) pressure, which forces you to adopt (采用) a certain type of behavior (行为), clothes, or attitude (态度) in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. We are all influenced by our peers at any age. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the influence of peer pressure in different ways.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate (准确的) in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, if they make decisions when they lose control over anger or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors (因素) like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with (相比于) when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely (极度地) angry.
________ A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, true friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While you are always influenced by those around you, the decision to act or not is up to you. What you have to do first is to tell whether it is negative (消极的) peer pressure. But what is more important for you is to learn how to deal with it, which makes you mature (成熟的) and confident.
8.The writer starts the passage by ________.
A.asking a question B.showing an example of the topic
C.providing background information D.pointing out his opinion
9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.There are some other factors which can influence teens’ decision-making.
B.Teenagers can be influenced by peer pressure in different ways.
C.The study shows that teenagers take fewer risks when their peers are around.
D.Teenagers under peer pressure act like their peers to avoid being refused by them.
10.Which sentence is the best to put in the “________”?
A.What is the true meaning of good friends in your eyes?
B.However, peers can also influence teens in a positive (积极的) way.
C.There are some examples of how peers influence each other.
D.As you become independent (独立的), your peers play a bigger role in your life.
11.If there is paragraph 6, what may be talked about?
A.Ways to tell the difference between positive and negative peer pressure.
B.Reasons why teenagers suffer (遭受) from peer pressure.
C.Results of being influenced by peer pressure.
D.Advice on how to deal with negative peer pressure.
12.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B.Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C.Peer Pressure: Its Benefits (好处) to Teens and Friend Making.
D.Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making.
