I was happy for her but envied (妒忌) her a little. “Oh, well,” I thought, “I will have a hiking trip with Olivia. That will also be very interesting.” Later that day, I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle’s new beach house. So we had to put off our hiking trip. “I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?” she said. “Oh, sure,” I said. I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile, but inside, my heart was going down. At that time, I saw Mrs. Daisy in her garden. I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my mind off unpleasant feelings. Watering the flowers made me feel good but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends. “Be careful!” Mrs. Daisy said. “That is a harmful plant. I’ll get it out of here.” Suddenly, I realized what I was watering. Mrs. Daisy was aware of my bad mood, smiled at me and said, “Dear Nora, plants or feelings, we should watch what we’re watering, right? If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.” “I guess that makes sense,” I said, “but I fail to tell my mind to stop. being sad.” “Just let yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said, “but after a while, you can try feeding your mind with happier thoughts. Talk to a friend, go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of a flower.” I thought Mrs. Daisy’s advice was worth trying. So I called Olivia at once. After sharing my feelings with her, I cheered up again and moreover we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she came back. —Adapted from the story by Lissa Rovetch 1.

Apps like TikTok and WeChat change how young people make and keep friends. People talk a lot about this change. Does social media help or hurt teen friendships? The answer isn’t simple because it has both good and bad sides. ②Clearly, using social media has some good points. First, it makes staying in touch very easy. If a close friend moves to another school or city, you can still talk every day and see each other’s photos. It feels like the friend is not far away. Second, for quiet or shy students, talking online can make them feel safer and easier. They can think about what to say. This can sometimes help them be more confident (自信的) when talking in real life. Also, social media helps teens find groups that love the same things, like a game or music. This helps them make new friends from different places. ③However, we can’t ignore the problems social media brings, since they are really there. One big worry is that it can make teens compare (比较) with each other. People usually post the best parts of their lives — happy photos from parties or trips. When teens see these perfect posts, they may feel their own lives are boring or not good enough. This can make them sad or worried. Another problem is that texting (发消息) can cause misunderstandings. It’s hard to tell if someone is joking without seeing their face or hearing their voice. Worst of all, friendships can become all about getting more “likes” and comments (评论). Teens might care more about popular posts than real talks with friends. ④So, what should we do? The key is to find a healthy balance. Social media is a tool, and we need to use it wisely. Teens should use it to help real-life friendships, not to take the place of them. It’s a good idea to set a time limit (限制) for using these apps every day. More importantly, spend more time on outdoor activities, hobbies and face-to-face talks with friends. Remember, a true friend is someone who cares about you and shares real moments, not just someone who gives you “likes”. 1. The meaning of the underlined word “ignore” is “ ____ ”. A. understand clearly B. enjoy very much C. improve quickly D. pay no attention to 2. What does the writer suggest teenagers do in their daily life? ①set a time limit while using social media ②stop using their social media apps ③try to get more “likes” from online friends ④compare their schoolwork with others ⑤have more face-to-face talks with friends ⑥have a balance between social media and real life A. ①④⑥ B. ①⑤⑥ C. ②③⑤ D. ②④⑤ 3. What is the article mainly about? A. Why teens love social media and who uses it wisely. B. Why teens love social media and how to choose its apps. C. Social media’s good/ bad sides on teen friendships and wise use. D. Social media’s good/ bad sides on friends and which apps to use. 4. What’s the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A. ①/②③/④ B. ①②/③/④ C. ①/②/③④ D. ①②/③④ 【答案】DBCA D “When I was 8, a doctor said that I wouldn’t live past 20. But now I’m here, at 29, happy with my life,” says Ma Jun.

His winning piece is his first prose collection, Qing Bai Shijie. He wrote it under the pen name Liu Kexing.

So Ma made the decision to stay home, giving his younger brother a chance to go to university. “My brother was still young. I couldn’t stand seeing him sad,” Ma says. Luckily, after reading Shi Tiesheng’s book Wo Yu Ditan, Ma found a way for his life: writing. He started to think about following Shi’s spirit of perseverance (毅力) and creativity: He could do something meaningful, like writing, instead of staying in bed letting life pass him by.

Claude Brouir, a 63-year-old man from Belgium, arrived after riding more than 12,000 kilometers from Brussels on a solar tricycle (太阳能三轮车). People in Shanghai welcomed him warmly. Brouir began his trip on April 19. For over 120 days, he rode across mountains, rivers and wide fields in Europe and Asia. His journey was not only for fun, and it was also a dream he had kept for a long time — to build a closer connection (联系) with China. The idea started last November, when Brouir came to Shanghai to visit his eldest son, who now lives in the city. Brouir joined a cycling event and was touched by the kindness of local riders. “That trip gave me the idea — why not ride all the way from Brussels to Shanghai?” he said. To follow his idea of green travel, Brouir used a special solar tricycle. It had two motors (发动机) and four solar panels (面板). The tricycle also pulled a trailer (拖车) carrying his tent and daily things. With the help of the panels, he could climb hills without fuel. Along the way, he saw many beautiful places and often received help from strangers. This year marks the 50th anniversary of China-EU relations (中欧建交50周年), which makes his arrival even more meaningful. Brouir said the busy streets and friendly people of Shanghai made him feel at home. “Coming here is not the end,” he smiled, “It is a new beginning.” At the ceremony, officials praised his spirit. They said Shanghai would always welcome friends from Europe. 1. Where did Claude Brouir’s journey end? __________________________________________________________________ 2. How long did it take Claude Brouir to finish this trip? __________________________________________________________________ 3. Why did Claude Brouir take this trip? __________________________________________________________________ 4. How did Claude Brouir carry his tent and daily things during the trip? __________________________________________________________________ 5. Do you want to try a trip like this? Why or why not? __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】1. It ended in Shanghai (under the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai). 2. It took him over 120 days. 3. Because he wanted to build a closer connection with China and it was also his long-held dream. 4. He used a trailer pulled by his solar tricycle to carry them. 5. Yes, because it’s a meaningful green travel and helps promote cultural communication. / No, because it requires great physical strength and endurance, which I don’t have. 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
