It’s always exciting to receive a letter in the mail.Even today,when the world is digitally connected,receiving an actual letter in your mailbox from a distant lad is a great way for children to make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Project is a beautiful project that promotes(促进) the global connection and self-expression.The project is part of the non-profit Kids for Peace,founded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in California in 2006.It is open to all children,aged two through seventeen.To date,there have been 1,500 children from 17 countries joining in the program according to the organization.Currently,all letters are written in English.When children sign up,they can select if they would rather be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal or an international one.
Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age.This establishes(建立) a point of connection quickly for the children and promotes a stronger bond.If the letter writers are in the same grade,they can chat about school,their teachers,and what they are studying.They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmosphere of the classroom is.Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation.Although pen pals may live in different countries,they may find common ground.The writer lists their favorite activities to do outside,plus what they like best and least about school.This gives the writer an opportunity to express and receive advice from the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else’s viewpoint(观点) and think outside of themselves” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family.“Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage interest in geography,history and culture.”
24.What can we know about the Peaceful Pen Pals Project?
A.It helps strengthen connections between kids.
B.It is aimed at improving children’s English.
C.It encourages children to help people in need.
D.It is created for teenagers to take online lessons.
25.What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A.The approaches to making new friends.
B.The need for expressing opinions to pen pals.
C.The purpose of the Peaceful Pen Pals Project.
D.The advantages of having friends of similar age.
26.What is Rebecca Fraser-Thill’s attitude towards the project?
A.Careful. B.Supportive. C.Uninterested. D.Disappointed.
27.What is the best title of this text?
A.Writing Improves Kids’ Life
B.Friendship Teaches Kids a Lesson
C.The Pen Pal Project Connects Kids
D.Communication Skills Better the World

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you.Peers affect your life,whether you know it or not,just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on one another.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.
However,sometimes peers affect one another in another way.For example,one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him,your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball,or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to steal things with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked,to fit in,or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group.Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing.The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of.Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her or his mind from what she or he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure,but it can be done.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm,walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
28.Which of the following will the writer NOT agree with?
A.Only children change their correct answers under peer pressure.
B.Peers will believe in themselves if other peers agree with them.
C.Peers have effect on each other whether the effect is good or not.
D.Peer pressure is very strong and difficult for people to get rid of.
29.What does the writer intend to do by writing the passage?
A.Encourage people to follow others’ opinions.
B.Warn people to stay away from their peers.
C.Tell people it is hard to be away from peer pressure.
D.Advise people to do the right despite peer pressure.
30.All of the following aspects are concerned in the passage EXCEPT .
A.the definition of the peer and how it affects life
B.the reason why kids have stronger peer pressure
C.the way peers influence each other in daily life
D.the way peer pressure influences our judgment
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Peer pressure has a good effect.
B.Peer pressure is hard to resist.
C.Children give in to peer pressure.
D.Peer pressure always does harm.

Every so often,31-year-old Chen Jiawen,a product designer at a technology company in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day.On this day,she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences.In the morning,she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music.In the afternoon,she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening,they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones,engaged in deep conversation.Upon returning home,she spends the evening reading.
Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology,citing moments of distraction(分心) like pop-up notifications,ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages,and feelings of information overload.“Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said.Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus.In addition to this,she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books.“When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones,it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said,adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned,leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.
It’s become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app.To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices,some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts.Technology should bring us joy,not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety.Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.
32.What can we learn about Unplug Day?
A.It is a day for reading.
B.It is a day without phones.
C.It is a day away from the Internet.
D.It is a day to spend with friends.
33.What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Range. B.Cancel.
C.Obtain. D.Prevent.
34.What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media?
A.Tasks’ delays.
B.Stress from peers.
C.Mental problems.
D.A decreasing focus.
35.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A.Enjoy the benefits of technology.
B.Decrease the time spent on digital devices.
C.Remove the apps informing new messages.
D.Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.

39 The humor of many memes is related to teens and topics that have a lot to do with their lives.According to the American Psychological Association,it does much good to teens to find something fun to laugh about,especially when they are under great stress. 40 Serena Khan,a senior student,says memes affect her positively.“Memes are actually so funny,” said Khan.“They can make my day ten times better.”
No wonder memes have grown into a positive force in teenage life.
A.Meme culture is developing all the time.

When Linda was very young,she loved writing poems and dreamed about being a poet.But her dream didn’t come true.After her father died in her teens,life kept throwing new responsibilities at Linda.She had to look after her younger brothers and sisters.Then came kids after her getting married,and then the kids’ kids.She spent most of her life taking care of her family.And in her closet,Linda locked all her poems,her talent,and also her dream of reading her poems on stage.
One Sunday,Linda was joyfully cooking in the kitchen because her children and grandchildren were going to visit her.Although doctors told her not to take stress,she spent five hours preparing nice food for them! After lunch that day,Linda sat with her 10-year-old grandson,Mark.And she said,“Honey,can you fetch me the family album from my closet?Let’s take a look together.”
While searching for the album,Mark discovered many pieces of paper there.He came running and said,“Grandma! Are these yours?Do you write poems?” Linda replied,“Oh,I did it in the past.I wanted to read them on stage one day,but I never had the opportunity.You see,I have two wonderful sons and many lovely grandchildren.I got busy in the past.Anyway,forget about that.”
But Mark didn’t.Days later,his school announced that there would be a talent show and that kids’ grandparents could also participate in it.Mark immediately signed his grandma up for the show.When visiting his grandma again,Mark told her the news and said,“Grandma,you can finally stand on stage and read your poems!” Linda said in tears,“I’m too old! I will get nervous.” But Mark believed that his grandma would be the best poet.With his encouragement,Linda agreed and decided to read a humorous poem written by herself.
Mark’s support didn’t end up there.He told Linda’s story to Joseph,the father of one of his classmates,who worked as an editor for a local newspaper.And he asked whether Joseph could publish his grandma’s old poems and invite her to write new ones for the newspaper.Joseph smiled,“Well,if your grandma’s poems in the talent show prove good,I’ll talk about it with her.”

M:⑨$500.
W:Nice!

MYour mother and I will worry about being thousands of kilometers from home.

M:Did you take any pictures?
W:Yes. I’ve got quite a few pictures. How about your holidays?
MMy friend and I just got back from Bali.
W:Wow! Bali Islands have some of the best beaches in the world, don’t they?
M:Yes. My friend’s father owns a hotel on one of the islands, so we were able to stay for free.
W:Did you go diving while you were there?
M:No, I didn’t really like it, so I played beach volleyball instead.
W:By the way, have you started planning your Christmas vacation yet?
MWe’re planning to go skiing in Switzerland. Would you like to go skiing with us for Christmas?

W: Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally found a way to make clothes that almost never need to be washed. Yes, that’s right! You can wear them 100 times in a row, and you will not need to wash them at all during that time. I know it is hard to believe, but these clothes have been tested by many top fashion experts. The scientists say the secret is in the materials used in the cloth for the clothes. We can’t tell you where we found them, but they come from a country where most ordinary people have known about their wonderful qualities for hundreds of years. No matter how much you wear these clothes from day to day, they will keep dirt away and never smell bad. But don’t take my word for it! Try the shirts for $75 each! Try the pants for $49! Try the socks for $29 a pair, available at these low prices for this week only.
