They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903, a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships across the area—except for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 18．How do dolphins live?

One day, I was drawing while my little sister Becky was watching with curiosity (好奇). Just then, my classmate Jeff dropped by. “Hi! Peter, want to play basketball in the yard?” he asked. “I’d like to, but it’s too cold outside” I replied. “Exactly!” Jeff said. “It’s the perfect weather for not getting too hot.” That’s a cool thing about Jeff. He always looks on the bright side of almost everything. “Let’s go!” We went out, leaving the drawings on the table. We laughed as we returned. When I opened the door, my heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was coloring my pictures. “Stop, Becky!” I rushed to her, but it was too late. Almost every page was colored. “What did you do?” I shouted angrily. “I just wanted to help,” she began to cry. “My drawings are gone forever!” I felt sad and looked at Jeff for help. “Unless...” said Jeff. “Unless what?” I asked. “Remember the jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏)? We can create something new from these messy pictures,” Jeff suggested. “Can we make it?” I doubted. “I’m not sure, but we can have a try,” He encouraged. First, we cut the drawings into shapes, such as our brown teaching buildings and green playground. Then, we put all these pieces together and made a jigsaw. Finally, we even added more paints. Days later, a beautiful “school” appeared in front of us. There was a happy ending. George smiled and said, “__________”. So, you see, there lies a beam of light behind every dark cloud. 23．What gift did Peter plan to give his art teacher George at first? 24．What did Jeff think of the weather when they played basketball? 25．Why was Peter angry after he returned home? 26．How did Peter and Jeff turn the messy pictures into a gift? 27．What might George say?

It doesn’t provide (提供) many of the nutrients (营养物质) we need. In a 2020 study, researchers showed that a junk food diet could be bad for teenagers’ brains. According to scientists, fats (脂肪) are very important for brain health, but not all fats are helpful. Our brains need omega-3 fats (不饱和脂肪酸). They’re found in fish, many nuts and some oils. These good fats help to build up your body’s cell membranes (细胞膜). These membranes hold brain cells together and help them to communicate with each other. Junk food does not provide omega-3 fats. As a result, a junk food diet can lead to learning and memory problems in children. It is even related to some mental (心理的) health problems. One way to keep our brains healthy, of course, is to eat healthy food. Researchers also found that exercise was good for our brains. Doing sports causes our bodies to produce a protein (蛋白质) called BDNF. This protein helps brain cells to grow and helps to strengthen the connections between them. 29．Is junk food harmful to teenagers’ brains, according to the research? 30．What kind of fat does the brain need? 31．Why do brain cells need membranes? (Write two reasons.) （1） （2） 32．What may a child experience as a result of eating too much junk food? 33．How will you try to improve your lifestyle after having read this passage? 【答案】29．Yes, it is. 30．Omega-3 fats. 31． They hold brain cells together.

They help brain cells communicate with each other. 32．根据文章“a junk food diet can lead to learning and memory problems in children. It is even related to some mental health problems.”可知，吃太多垃圾食品的孩子可能会遇到学习和记忆问题，甚至心理健康问题。故填Learning and memory problems (and some mental health problems). 33．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为I will eat more healthy food and exercise regularly. （七） Betty, 12, is a girl from the USA．Her school life is quite different from most children.

About 97% of water on the Earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage become a big problem. How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil sea water with high heat until vapor (蒸汽) rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for example, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being polluted. Which way is the best?

Like Comment… (8 likes) Susan 28 reviews March 5 As a parent, I’ve said this a lot and in a classroom we’ve had to say this a lot, too: “What if we were all the same?” I am happy that there is a book to talk about this big question. If we were all the same—our houses, cars, food and clothes were all the same—things would be very boring. We don’t need to be sad about our differences. They are what make things fun. The illustrations (插图) are okay, but 4 . The colours are bright, and it’s nice to see all kinds of people and kids.

The more water people splash (泼，溅) on you, the luckier and happier you will be—this festival brings smiles and good luck to everyone who takes part. Foreign visitors also enjoy the celebrations, making the festival a truly international event. Melissa Baidak, a visitor from Russia, was surprised when people started splashing water on her. At first, she was a little scared, but soon she joined in and had a lot of fun. “It reminded (使想起) me of my childhood,” she said with a smile. Melissa is a doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University. During her visit to Xishuangbanna, she wore a traditional Dai dress and tried many local foods. She said the most special moments were releasing Sky Lanterns at night and splashing water on others. “It was amazing to see so many lanterns in the sky, like stars twinkling (闪耀) above,” she said. The Water Splashing Festival, usually celebrated in mid-April, is one of the most important festivals for the Dai people—an ethnic group (民族) mostly living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They celebrate the festival as their new year with activities like water splashing, releasing (放) lanterns, and dragon boat races. The Water Splashing Festival also draws (吸引) many tourists from neighbouring countries, where similar celebrations are held. Htike Lwin Ko, a 37-year-old from Myanmar, said his home country also celebrates the Water Splashing Festival, which usually lasts (持续) four days and people are allowed a 10-day break. “We have some customs similar to Xishuangbanna, like releasing Sky Lanterns,” he said. “But we usually fly lanterns around October.” The Water Splashing Festival continues to be a highlight (亮点) in Xishuangbanna, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the joy and culture of the Dai people. 56．The Water Splashing Festival is an international event, isn’t it? 57．How did Melissa Baidak feel at first when people splashed water on her? 58．According to Melissa Baidak, what were the most special moments? 59．When is the Water Splashing Festival usually celebrated? 60．How long does the Water Splashing Festival in Myanmar usually last? 61．According to the passage, why does the Water Splashing Festival draw many visitors from around the world?

At first, she was a little scared,”可知，当人们开始向Melissa Baidak泼水时，她一开始有点害怕。故填A little scared. 58．根据第三段“She said the most special moments were releasing Sky Lanterns at night and splashing water on others.”可知，Melissa Baidak认为最特别的时刻是晚上放孔明灯和向别人泼水。故填Releasing Sky Lanterns at night and splashing water on others. 59．根据第四段“The Water Splashing Festival, usually celebrated in mid-April, is one of the most important festivals for the Dai people”可知，人们通常在四月中旬庆祝泼水节。故填In mid-April. 60．根据第五段“Htike Lwin Ko, a 37-year-old from Myanmar, said his home country also celebrates the Water Splashing Festival, which usually lasts four days”可知，缅甸的泼水节通常持续四天。故填Four days. 61．根据第一段“this festival brings smiles and good luck to everyone who takes part”可知，泼水节能给参与者带来微笑和好运；又根据最后一段“drawing visitors from around the world to experience the joy and culture of the Dai people”可知，泼水节吸引世界各地游客的另一个原因是人们可以体验傣族的欢乐和文化。故填It brings smiles/joy and good luck to everyone who takes part.

Thinking about the future is a common part of life. Everyone sometimes imagines what might happen if things don’t go according to the plan: “What if I make a mistake?” or “What if others laugh at me?” These “what-if” worries usually focus on negative (消极的) outcomes. Spending too much time thinking about “what if” can make you hesitant (犹豫) to take action, and it can also make it hard to focus on what you’re doing or listening to others. There are various ways you can help yourself. Expert Angela McMillan suggests creating an “IF/THEN” plan. “For example,” she says, “IF you need to speak in front of the class, THEN you can take three deep breaths and remind yourself that you are prepared. Or, IF a social event is too noisy and you feel lost, THEN you can step outside for a few minutes.” You can also identify your worries and then challenge them. Try to focus on what could go right. For example, instead of thinking “What if I miss the ball when I try to kick it?” ask yourself, “What if I score a goal?” McMillan points out that most worries never actually happen. “Remember that they are just thoughts and the bravest thing we can do is not let worry take control,” she says. Try to focus on what you’re currently doing, whether it’s the book you’re reading, the TV show you’re watching, or the conversation you’re having. Getting angry with yourself will only make you feel worse, so be kind to yourself. Think about how you would talk to a friend who is feeling anxious—and then speak to yourself in that same way. 62．Spending too much time on “what-if” worries can make it difficult to focus, can’t it? 63．What is a common reaction when people think about the future according to the passage? 64．Who suggests creating an “IF/THEN” plan to manage worries, and can you give one example of such a plan from the passage? 65．What does the passage recommend you do if you find yourself in a noisy social event and don’t know what to do? 66．How can you shift your focus when you start feeling worried according to the passage? 67．Why does Angela McMillan suggest thinking about what could go right instead of focusing on what could go wrong? 68．Think about a time when worry stopped you from doing something. Based on the advice in the passage, how can you do better if you meet the same situation again? 【答案】62．Yes, it can. 63．People often wonder what might happen if things don’t go as planned, focusing on potential negative outcomes. 64．Angela McMillan. If you need to speak in front of the class, then you can take three deep breaths and remind yourself that you’re prepared. 65．Stepping outside for a few minutes. 66．Focusing on what could go right because it helps reduce fear and anxiety. 67．Because if people think positively, they may feel more confident and be more likely to take action instead of avoiding things out of fear. 68．I remember a time when I didn’t join a group activity because I was worried about making mistakes. I could have prepared an “IF/THEN” plan and focused on what could go well. This might have helped me feel more confident and encouraged me to participate. (开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。) 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们对未来常有的“如果……会怎样”的担忧情绪，以及应对这种担忧的方法，包括制定“IF/THEN”计划、关注积极面、专注当下和善待自己等方法。 62．根据第一段“Spending too much time thinking about ‘what if’ ... or listening to others.”可知，花太多时间在“what-if”担忧上会使集中注意力变得困难，反义疑问句前肯后否，事实肯定则回答Yes, it can。故填Yes, it can。 63．根据第一段“Everyone sometimes imagines what might happen ... focus on negative outcomes.”可知，人们思考未来时的常见反应是想如果事情不按计划进行会发生什么，且关注潜在负面结果，故填People often wonder what might happen if things don’t go as planned, focusing on potential negative outcomes。 64．根据第二段“Expert Angela McMillan suggests creating an ‘IF/THEN’ plan. ... remind yourself that you are prepared.’ ”可知，是Angela McMillan建议创建“IF/THEN”计划，例子是如果要在全班面前发言，就做三次深呼吸并提醒自己已做好准备，故填Angela McMillan.

Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burnt or buried. But is it a good way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment; we should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generation. China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way.

Let’s explore some yummy ones! In Italy, pizza is a family favorite. Its round shape stands for togetherness—like a circle that brings everyone close. Families often make pizza at home on weekends or for small parties. They roll soft dough (面团), fill in tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings (配料), then bake it. Sharing a warm pizza makes family time extra happy! In Japan, sushi is a star during Oshogatsu (New Year). Families spend New Year’s Eve making sushi together—parents show kids how to wrap (包裹) rice, fresh salmon, and cucumber in seaweed (海苔). Sushi’s neat preparation shows respect (尊重) for food and family, and eating it on New Year’s Eve is thought to bring good luck for the new year. In Mexico, tacos are a must at Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead, November 1-2). Families gather at cemeteries (墓地) to honor (缅怀) loved ones, then return home to cook tacos. Filled with many ingredients such as roast meat, beans, lettuce, and lemon, tacos taste bright and lively. On this special day, tacos are not just yummy food, but a way to ____________________________________.

Finally, decide when to open it. It is the best gift for the class to open at the end of a school year. What to put in a class capsule? A  time capsule should be about the students and events of a school year. Here are some ideas from my students: Peter’s idea: I want to put an album of our class in the time capsule.

My mum tells me that she puts something special in her dishes. I think that’s why her food is so delicious. So, when Grandma asked me to help with the tomato soup on Friday, I was super-excited. Grandma taught me how to cut onions. “You must do it slowly, Emma,” Grandma said. “Look at what you’re cutting. Enjoy the time when you cut the food.” I slowed down. But when I worked, I kept looking at Grandma. What was the secret ingredient? I wanted to find out. After cutting, we started to pick the tomatoes. Grandma looked at each tomato carefully and chose the best ones. She even held one under my nose. “Smell it, Emma! There’s nothing like the smell of fresh tomatoes. We don’t cook to eat. We cook to cook. When you smell the tomatoes and watch the soup boiling, just enjoy it! That’s all the fun of cooking.” I thought about Grandma’s words when I slowly stirred (搅拌) the soup.

Here are the best from last week’s topic: Changing the rules ①I hate cabbage. When I was a small boy, my father made me eat it at lunch. “The rule is: eat everything on your plate,” he said. I ate it and then I was sick. When I’m a father, my rule will be: “If you don’t like it, you can leave it.” ② “Want to play in the school football team?” the sign said, “Come along at four o’clock!” So I went. “But you’re a girl!” a boy said. “Girls can’t play in the school team!” “There’s no such rule,” I said. And I played.

But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903, a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships across the area—except for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 18．How do dolphins live? They live . 19．How long do dolphins live? They live . 20．Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

I was preparing a special gift for him. It was a hand-drawn picture book about our school. I worked a long time, trying to make each picture as perfect as possible. One day, I was drawing while my little sister Becky was watching with curiosity (好奇). Just then, my classmate Jeff dropped by. “Hi! Peter, want to play basketball in the yard?” he asked. “I’d like to, but it’s too cold outside” I replied. “Exactly!” Jeff said. “It’s the perfect weather for not getting too hot.” That’s a cool thing about Jeff. He always looks on the bright side of almost everything. “Let’s go!” We went out, leaving the drawings on the table. We laughed as we returned. When I opened the door, my heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was coloring my pictures. “Stop, Becky!” I rushed to her, but it was too late. Almost every page was colored. “What did you do?” I shouted angrily. “I just wanted to help,” she began to cry. “My drawings are gone forever!” I felt sad and looked at Jeff for help. “Unless...” said Jeff. “Unless what?” I asked. “Remember the jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏)? We can create something new from these messy pictures,” Jeff suggested. “Can we make it?” I doubted. “I’m not sure, but we can have a try,” He encouraged. First, we cut the drawings into shapes, such as our brown teaching buildings and green playground. Then, we put all these pieces together and made a jigsaw. Finally, we even added more paints. Days later, a beautiful “school” appeared in front of us. There was a happy ending. George smiled and said, “__________”.

In a 2020 study, researchers showed that a junk food diet could be bad for teenagers’ brains. According to scientists, fats (脂肪) are very important for brain health, but not all fats are helpful. Our brains need omega-3 fats (不饱和脂肪酸). They’re found in fish, many nuts and some oils. These good fats help to build up your body’s cell membranes (细胞膜). These membranes hold brain cells together and help them to communicate with each other. Junk food does not provide omega-3 fats. As a result, a junk food diet can lead to learning and memory problems in children. It is even related to some mental (心理的) health problems. One way to keep our brains healthy, of course, is to eat healthy food. Researchers also found that exercise was good for our brains. Doing sports causes our bodies to produce a protein (蛋白质) called BDNF. This protein helps brain cells to grow and helps to strengthen the connections between them. 29．Is junk food harmful to teenagers’ brains, according to the research? 30．What kind of fat does the brain need? 31．Why do brain cells need membranes? (Write two reasons.) （1） （2） 32．What may a child experience as a result of eating too much junk food? 33．How will you try to improve your lifestyle after having read this passage? （七） Betty, 12, is a girl from the USA．Her school life is quite different from most children.

That means I take classes at home. My parents are my teachers. Sounds interesting? One great thing about homeschooling is that I can learn at my own pace (速度). If I need more time on a subject, I can take it. I also have more time to spend with my family. That is awesome! However, there are some problems, too. Sometimes I want to talk to and play with children of my age. I find it boring to have classes without classmates. I think homeschooling is pretty cool, but I still hope to have more friends. How can I make new friends? Can you give me some advice? 34．Does Betty go to school like most kids? 35．What does homeschooling mean? It means . 36．Who are Betty’s teachers? 37．What’s Betty’s problem with homeschooling? 38．Please give Betty some advice on how to make new friends. （八） “It was a cold winter morning. My 12-year-old granddaughter, Jayne, sent me messages on the phone every hour during her six-hour drive to our house in Virginia, the US.” “Grandma, can you put some snow in the fridge? That way, I can feel snow when I get there,” she wrote. Jayne lives in the south of Georgia, the US with her parents, so she never saw snow before. “Yes, I will,” I wrote. “There is still some snow on the ground in the yard.” And I sent her a few photos of it. However, the weather report brought me bad news. It said the weather would be sunny at noon. This made me worried. In the afternoon, they finally arrived. Jayne got out of the car first. She didn’t even have time to hug us. She ran into the yard and put her hands in the snow. She looked so excited. It was great that the sun didn’t come on that day. “Grandma, the weather is so cold, but I enjoy playing with snow,” Jayne said. Then she started to build a snowman. She made two large snowballs first. They were the head and the body. Then she put her hat on its head. It looked nice. Jayne kept playing outside until her hands got wet and cold. Watching Jayne playing in the snow made me feel warm and thankful. I still remember the lovely cold day. Small things in our lives can also make us happy.

About 97% of water on the Earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage become a big problem. How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil sea water with high heat until vapor (蒸汽) rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for example, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being polluted. Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water with the least money is the best. 45．How much water is sea water? 46．Water shortage becomes a big problem, doesn’t it? , . 47．What ways have scientists found? 48．Which is the best way to get the most fresh water? 49．What can you do to save water?

Difference is what makes us all unique. As a teacher, I think it is so important to help students understand the importance of acceptance (接纳) and friendship. The story is also connected to the real world: everyone has differences in height (身高), hair types, abilities and so much more. This is a book I would love to have in my classroom! Like Comment… (8 likes) Susan 28 reviews March 5 As a parent, I’ve said this a lot and in a classroom we’ve had to say this a lot, too: “What if we were all the same?” I am happy that there is a book to talk about this big question. If we were all the same—our houses, cars, food and clothes were all the same—things would be very boring. We don’t need to be sad about our differences. They are what make things fun. The illustrations (插图) are okay, but 4 . The colours are bright, and it’s nice to see all kinds of people and kids.

The more water people splash (泼，溅) on you, the luckier and happier you will be—this festival brings smiles and good luck to everyone who takes part. Foreign visitors also enjoy the celebrations, making the festival a truly international event. Melissa Baidak, a visitor from Russia, was surprised when people started splashing water on her. At first, she was a little scared, but soon she joined in and had a lot of fun. “It reminded (使想起) me of my childhood,” she said with a smile. Melissa is a doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University. During her visit to Xishuangbanna, she wore a traditional Dai dress and tried many local foods. She said the most special moments were releasing Sky Lanterns at night and splashing water on others. “It was amazing to see so many lanterns in the sky, like stars twinkling (闪耀) above,” she said. The Water Splashing Festival, usually celebrated in mid-April, is one of the most important festivals for the Dai people—an ethnic group (民族) mostly living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They celebrate the festival as their new year with activities like water splashing, releasing (放) lanterns, and dragon boat races. The Water Splashing Festival also draws (吸引) many tourists from neighbouring countries, where similar celebrations are held. Htike Lwin Ko, a 37-year-old from Myanmar, said his home country also celebrates the Water Splashing Festival, which usually lasts (持续) four days and people are allowed a 10-day break. “We have some customs similar to Xishuangbanna, like releasing Sky Lanterns,” he said. “But we usually fly lanterns around October.” The Water Splashing Festival continues to be a highlight (亮点) in Xishuangbanna, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the joy and culture of the Dai people. 56．The Water Splashing Festival is an international event, isn’t it? 57．How did Melissa Baidak feel at first when people splashed water on her? 58．According to Melissa Baidak, what were the most special moments? 59．When is the Water Splashing Festival usually celebrated? 60．How long does the Water Splashing Festival in Myanmar usually last? 61．According to the passage, why does the Water Splashing Festival draw many visitors from around the world? Give 2 reasons. (1) (2) （二） It’s normal to wonder, “What if something goes wrong?” It’s important to recognize this thought and manage it so that you don’t become overwhelmed (不知所措地) by worry. Thinking about the future is a common part of life. Everyone sometimes imagines what might happen if things don’t go according to the plan: “What if I make a mistake?” or “What if others laugh at me?” These “what-if” worries usually focus on negative (消极的) outcomes. Spending too much time thinking about “what if” can make you hesitant (犹豫) to take action, and it can also make it hard to focus on what you’re doing or listening to others. There are various ways you can help yourself. Expert Angela McMillan suggests creating an “IF/THEN” plan. “For example,” she says, “IF you need to speak in front of the class, THEN you can take three deep breaths and remind yourself that you are prepared. Or, IF a social event is too noisy and you feel lost, THEN you can step outside for a few minutes.” You can also identify your worries and then challenge them. Try to focus on what could go right. For example, instead of thinking “What if I miss the ball when I try to kick it?” ask yourself, “What if I score a goal?” McMillan points out that most worries never actually happen. “Remember that they are just thoughts and the bravest thing we can do is not let worry take control,” she says. Try to focus on what you’re currently doing, whether it’s the book you’re reading, the TV show you’re watching, or the conversation you’re having. Getting angry with yourself will only make you feel worse, so be kind to yourself. Think about how you would talk to a friend who is feeling anxious—and then speak to yourself in that same way. 62．Spending too much time on “what-if” worries can make it difficult to focus, can’t it? 63．What is a common reaction when people think about the future according to the passage? 64．Who suggests creating an “IF/THEN” plan to manage worries, and can you give one example of such a plan from the passage? 65．What does the passage recommend you do if you find yourself in a noisy social event and don’t know what to do? 66．How can you shift your focus when you start feeling worried according to the passage? 67．Why does Angela McMillan suggest thinking about what could go right instead of focusing on what could go wrong? 68．Think about a time when worry stopped you from doing something. Based on the advice in the passage, how can you do better if you meet the same situation again? （三） The traditional Chinese solar calendar (日历) divides the year into twenty-four solar terms (节气). Minor Snow (小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins on November 22 this year. Here are a few things you should know about Minor Snow. Wearing hats and scarves In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows (吹；刮) from the northeast a lot. Many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, “the head is the place where all passages of the body gather”. It’s necessary (必要的) to wear hats and scarves to keep one’s head warm. Drinking soup During Minor Snow, the air in the houses is dry and most people may find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry. This will cause (导致) “inner heat” in one’s body. The key is to drink more hot soup. Eating rice cake In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow. In ancient times (在古代), rice cakes were a traditional festival offering (祭品) to the bull god (牛神). Making pickled (腌制) vegetables and pork After Minor Snow, because of low temperature (温度) and dry air. It is the best time to start making preserved pork (腊肉), which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, have welcomed Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables. In addition (此外), we like to eat hot and spicy (辣的) food to keep warm. However, it’s not wise to eat much spicy food because that will increase inner heat. This year’s Minor Snow is coming. Wish you to be surrounded by (被……包围) a life full of warmth. 69．When does Minor Snow begin this year? 70．How do people keep head warm in Minor Snow? 71．What is the key to avoid (避免) causing “inner heat”? 72．Where do people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow? 73．What do you think of eating spicy food during Minor Snow? (请自拟一句话作答) （四） In China, each year we produce about 250 million tons of city waste according to a report. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burnt or buried. But is it a good way? Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment; we should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generation. China is getting really serious about waste now. We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment. The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting (分类). Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have had their own sorting systems. Waste sorting is a new fashion. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste. 74．How much city waste do we produce every year in China? 75．Who should we leave clean water and green mountains to? 76．When did China start to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into the country? 77．What do you think of waste sorting? Why? Write 30 words or more. （五） Use it or lose it! The human brain is very small and light but it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) we breathe in every day. So always make sure there is enough fresh air when you need to remember something! Everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some tips. ● Don’t use your brain for too long. When you’ve learned a list of new words, stop studying. ● Go to bed immediately after learning something new. A good night of sleep helps us to remember things better. ● When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way, you can review it. ● If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller groups: 198-756-430-387. ● One of the most interesting ways is to make “pictures” in your mind! Experts say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. For example, if you want to remember the following words: bank, bee, bicycle, you can make up a story as follows: In the morning, Tom walks out of the bank and is going to ride his bicycle home. A bee flies around him and says, “Be careful! Someone is after you. ” Here is one more example. It is a story to help you to remember the following words: fire, fox, farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________     Let yourself be surprised by your memory!

In Italy, pizza is a family favorite. Its round shape stands for togetherness—like a circle that brings everyone close. Families often make pizza at home on weekends or for small parties. They roll soft dough (面团), fill in tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings (配料), then bake it. Sharing a warm pizza makes family time extra happy! In Japan, sushi is a star during Oshogatsu (New Year). Families spend New Year’s Eve making sushi together—parents show kids how to wrap (包裹) rice, fresh salmon, and cucumber in seaweed (海苔). Sushi’s neat preparation shows respect (尊重) for food and family, and eating it on New Year’s Eve is thought to bring good luck for the new year. In Mexico, tacos are a must at Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead, November 1-2). Families gather at cemeteries (墓地) to honor (缅怀) loved ones, then return home to cook tacos. Filled with many ingredients such as roast meat, beans, lettuce, and lemon, tacos taste bright and lively. On this special day, tacos are not just yummy food, but a way to ____________________________________. Every country’s traditional food is like a little story—it carries love, traditions, and special wishes. Whether it’s pizza, sushi, or tacos, these yummy foods make important days more memorable (值得纪念的) and bring people closer.
