“No! But it’s unfair!” I cried out.
“From now on, no football match tickets,” Dad explained. I rushed out of my room, without turning back. When I entered the sitting room, I saw Hans, one of my father’s good friends. Beside him was a large dog. He walked up to me and said, “I heard you wanted some tickets.”
“Who is he?” I asked, very frightened.
“This is my dog Lucky,” he replied. “Shall we make a deal? I will give you football match tickets if you can help me watch Lucky for two hours.”
I froze with fear. I really wanted the football tickets, but Lucky was another story. First, he had a big head, big teeth and the fur of a cow. What’s worse, his saliva dropped from his mouth from time to time, which made the room dirty and wet. But after some careful thought I agreed.
After Hans left, I tried to introduce myself to Lucky. I walked up to him, but he started to bark like thunder. Soon he sprang at me, but I was faster. I ran into my dad’s closet, using every bit of the energy I had. I could hear him right behind me. Suddenly I remembered some belts in the closet. Taking the belts, I made a giant dog collar. And right when he jumped into the closet, I put the collar around his neck, pulling him with strength so that he couldn’t run away. Then I tied him to the door, waiting until he stopped trying to attack me.
After some time, Lucky calmed down, so I tried to introduce myself again. This time, he moved nowhere, and I felt encouraged. I carefully walked up to Lucky and patted him on his back. He sat down, and I thought he was getting used to me. I untied his collar, took him downstairs, and found him a snack. I took out a handful of dog food. He ate it, licked my hand and waved his tail.
As Lucky and I were playing ball games, Hans appeared. “You did it!”
“Yeah, I really did it!” I replied with joy.
“Here are the tickets!” he said.

As a country powerful in Maths, China has many folk games full of Maths wisdom (智慧). You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at three of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzle
It’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄).

But if you learn to solve it, it’s hard to forget.
Tangram
First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes. For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there.
Luban lock
The Luban lock was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ago. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces.

There are two questions. The first is very simple, and the second is difficult. Some people may want to try the first question, while others may prefer to try the difficult question because they want to learn something new.
Scientists believe that there are 3 zones (区域) of learning: the comfort zone, the learning zone, and the panic (恐慌) zone. With increasing difficulty and challenge, these three zones are usually described as a continuous condition, from the comfort zone inside to the learning zone and then to the panic zone. The comfort zone is where you think this knowledge is easy. The learning zone is where you want to learn something new. The panic zone is where you think this knowledge is too difficult and beyond your ability.
How can you put these three zones into your own learning? Firstly, if you feel a subject is too easy, try to push yourself further or pay attention to other subjects. Secondly, if you feel that a subject is too difficult, get over your fear and build confidence before finding ways to improve. Lastly, useful practice means doing things you can’t do well rather than just finishing tasks. Record your mistakes and review them.
According to the study, when people leave their comfort zones and learn something new and difficult, they can discover stronger connections in their brains, which makes them smarter. That’s why people can gradually improve their abilities in the learning zone. Therefore, if you want to become a good learner, look for the learning zone, accept challenges and pay attention to the ways of learning.
42. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of the 3 zones. B. The ways to leave the comfort zone.
C. The reasons for knowing the 3 zones. D. The practice of the 3 zones in learning.
43. Why can people improve their abilities in the learning zone?
A. Because they can discover stronger connections in their brains.
B. Because they think the knowledge is too simple to learn.
C. Because they think this knowledge is beyond their ability.
D. Because it is a zone where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.
44. What does the writer advise us to do?
A. Focus on the end result of learning.
B. Pay attention to the grades you receive.
C. Stay in the comfort zone and learn new things.
D. Find the learning zone and challenge ourselves.
45. What’s the best title for the passage?

C. Build your Confidence. D. Control the Comfort Zone.

“No! But it’s unfair!” I cried out.
“From now on, no football match tickets,” Dad explained. I rushed out of my room, without turning back. When I entered the sitting room, I saw Hans, one of my father’s good friends. Beside him was a large dog. He walked up to me and said, “I heard you wanted some tickets.”
“Who is he?” I asked, very frightened.
“This is my dog Lucky,” he replied. “Shall we make a deal? I will give you football match tickets if you can help me watch Lucky for two hours.”
I froze with fear. I really wanted the football tickets, but Lucky was another story. First, he had a big head, big teeth and the fur of a cow. What’s worse, his saliva dropped from his mouth from time to time, which made the room dirty and wet. But after some careful thought I agreed.
After Hans left, I tried to introduce myself to Lucky. I walked up to him, but he started to bark like thunder. Soon he sprang at me, but I was faster. I ran into my dad’s closet, using every bit of the energy I had. I could hear him right behind me. Suddenly I remembered some belts in the closet. Taking the belts, I made a giant dog collar. And right when he jumped into the closet, I put the collar around his neck, pulling him with strength so that he couldn’t run away. Then I tied him to the door, waiting until he stopped trying to attack me.
After some time, Lucky calmed down, so I tried to introduce myself again. This time, he moved nowhere, and I felt encouraged. I carefully walked up to Lucky and patted him on his back. He sat down, and I thought he was getting used to me. I untied his collar, took him downstairs, and found him a snack. I took out a handful of dog food. He ate it, licked my hand and waved his tail.
As Lucky and I were playing ball games, Hans appeared. “You did it!”
“Yeah, I really did it!” I replied with joy.
“Here are the tickets!” he said.

Yangzhou paper-cutting, with a history of about 1,500 years, can be dated back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper-cutting first became popular.
In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut colorful paper or silks to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The Emperor ordered the girl servants to cut fine silks into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate trees and lakes, copying nicely the looks of spring and summer. Since then, “colorful cutting” has become a popular art in Yangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the paper-cutting business was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made and this helped the development of the paper-cutting art.
In the Qing Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered (绣花的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts. One of the most well-known paper-cutting masters was Bao Jun. He was known as “Magic Scissors” for his wonderful cutting skills at that time.
After the People’s Republic of China was founded, the Chinese government realized the importance of paper-cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper-cutting.
35. When did “colorful cutting” become a popular art in Yangzhou?
A. In the Sui Dynasty. B. In the Tang Dynasty.

As a country powerful in Maths, China has many folk games full of Maths wisdom (智慧). You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at three of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzle
It’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove all the rings from the handle to win the game. This is not a simple game. The solution takes 341 moves, so lots of patience is required. But if you learn to solve it, it’s hard to forget.
Tangram
First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes. For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there.
Luban lock
The Luban lock was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ago. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces.
39. Which of the following subjects are the three folk games related to?
A. Chinese. B. Mathematics. C. English. D. Physics.
40. From the passage we can learn that ________.

C. it is usually more difficult to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together
D. players have to remove nine rings from the handle to win the nine linked rings puzzle

C. tell us the importance of learning Maths well D. introduce folk games with Maths wisdom in China
(D)
There are two questions. The first is very simple and the second is difficult. Some people may want to try the first question, while others may prefer to try the difficult question because they want to learn something new.
Scientists believe that there are 3 zones (区域) of learning: the comfort zone, the learning zone, and the panic (恐慌) zone. With increasing difficulty and challenge, these three zones are usually described as a continuous condition, from the comfort zone inside to the learning zone and then to the panic zone. The comfort zone is where you think this knowledge is easy. The learning zone is where you want to learn something new. The panic zone is where you think this knowledge is too difficult and beyond your ability.
How can you put these three zones into your own learning? Firstly, if you feel a subject is too easy, try to push yourself further or pay attention to other subjects. Secondly, if you feel that a subject is too difficult, get over your fear and build confidence before finding ways to improve. Lastly, useful practice means doing things you can’t do well rather than just finishing tasks. Record your mistakes and review them.
According to the study, when people leave their comfort zones and learn something new and difficult, they can discover stronger connections in their brains, which makes them smarter. That’s why people can gradually improve their abilities in the learning zone. Therefore, if you want to become a good learner, look for the learning zone, accept challenges and pay attention to the ways of learning.
42. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of the 3 zones. B. The ways to leave the comfort zone.
C. The reasons for knowing the 3 zones. D. The practice of the 3 zones in learning.
43. Why can people improve their abilities in the learning zone?
A. Because they can discover stronger connections in their brains.
B. Because they think the knowledge is too simple to learn.
C. Because they think this knowledge is beyond their ability.
D. Because it is a zone where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.
44. What does the writer advise us to do?
A. Focus on the end result of learning.
B. Pay attention to the grades you receive.
C. Stay in the comfort zone and learn new things.
D. Find the learning zone and challenge ourselves.
45. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Avoid the panic Zone. B. Explore the Learning Zone.
C. Build your Confidence. D. Control the Comfort Zone.
