There really are apps for everything and some could end up saving your life.
Skin Vision
You will have to pay for this digital skin check app,either on an ad hoc(随时) or a subscription basis,but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed during lockdown,it could be well worth it.You simply take a photo of any suspicious spot with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication from Skin Vision within 30 seconds.
St John Ambulance First Aid
An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own,but arguably it’s a necessity on your smartphone.It gives advice in dealing with emergencies,including choking,allergic reactions and performing CPR.You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.
What 3 Words
This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death.What 3 Words divides the world into 3×3 metre squares,giving each one a unique combination of three words.This allows emergency services—or anyone else you give the location to—to reach you.Used by the vast majority of emergency services in the UK,not to mention other control centres around the world,it has been credited with saving thousands of lives.
WhatsApp
Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling,but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger?You simply press the +key in a chat,select “Location”,and then press “Share Live Location”,which enables any participants in the chat to see your location in real time for the duration you choose.

B.It prevents skin cancer.
C.It gives cures for skin diseases.

When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症):Not Just for Kids,I was in tears after 20 minutes—the stories being told sounded much like my own.I’m in my 40s,I had read everything there was in health and science and I had no idea that the symptoms (症状) I had experienced all of my life were anything but normal.How had I missed this?I called the doctor to get assessed.I must have sounded desperate on the phone;they took me right away.
Later,I researched everything I could about ADHD.It became clear that my misunderstanding and ignorance about the disorder had misled me.A million thoughts,a million regrets.Finally,I told myself I couldn’t change the past,but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.
As for me,things went another way around:I was a young girl,quietly sitting at my school desk,pretending to listen to the teacher.Meanwhile,I was watching and drawing the bird that landed in the tree outside.And I was rereading entire chapters of my textbooks and taking extensive notes because I couldn’t remember what I had just read because I was thinking of the bird I had seen earlier.
Later in life,I’d sit at the kitchen table,staring out the window.There’s no telling how long it will take.Thoughts rush in from yesterday,today and tomorrow.I need to make dinner,take the dog for a walk,the kids will be home soon...But I can’t move.I know that I should,but I can’t.Afterward,I berate myself,unable to understand why I didn’t get up,why I wasted so much precious time,so much of my life doing nothing,it seems.
Since being treated,I have an inner calmness that is new to me.Medication doesn’t organize my day;it doesn’t remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog.However,it allows me to move when I’ve been staring out the window for too long.
24.What did the author learn from the documentary?
A.She might have been an ADHD patient.
B.She was wrongly assessed by many doctors.
C.She had never experienced any symptom of ADHD.
D.She was a very problematic child during school years.
25.Why does the author share her early experiences in paragraphs 3-4?
A.To offer possible causes of ADHD.
B.To make it clear how ADHD develops.
C.To show ADHD has more than one form.
D.To describe ADHD symptoms in children.
26.What does the underlined word “berate” mean in paragraph 4?
A.adjust. B.blame. C.push. D.challenge.
27.How has the treatment affected the author?
A.She has learned some basic life skills.
B.She has allowed herself more free time.
C.She has become motivated to take action.
D.She has developed more patience with her kids.
C
Does a happy person live longer?Many studies have convinced us that happiness brings good health,which has resulted in an increasing demand for speakers and products encouraging positive thinking.However,being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy.There are other factors that influence one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s socio-economic condition.
Some research even suggests that positive thinking can be dangerous.Positive thinking,when taken to the extreme,can cause a person to be separated from reality.For example,a person who thinks that staying happy and positive can help him recover from an illness like cancer but later fails to recover from it,may blame himself for not being happy.In this case,positive thinking may potentially make the victim disregard other factors.Sometimes the pursuit of happiness is even associated with serious mental health problems such as depression.
All types of happiness are not good for us either.For example,pride,a pleasant feeling,can sometimes rob us of the ability to empathize with others or understand another’s viewpoint.This anti-social behavior can cause people around us to turn away from us,and this could,in turn,make us feel lonely and do harm to our mental and even physical health.
Moreover,unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being.Researchers believe that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that supports psychological well-being.For example,if I have behaved badly towards my good friend,the feelings of guilt and sadness might motivate me to apologize and ask for forgiveness.The rebuilding of a broken relationship can be a lift to one’s mental well-being.
In trying to experience happiness,we should remember that seeking for happiness as an end in itself can be self-defeating,and does not necessarily lead to better health.After all,one will surely experience setbacks and conflicts in life.Instead,learning to cope with negative emotions with a realistic positive attitude is key to a person’s good health.
28.What’s the writer’s opinion in this passage?
A.Negative thinking can be dangerous.
B.Staying happy can bring good health.
C.Unpleasant feelings cannot be beneficial.
D.Happiness cannot ensure one’s good health.
29.When can positive thinking be dangerous according to the passage?
A.When we use it with a realistic attitude to solve problems.
B.When we focus on it as an only determinant of happy life.
C.When we think it one of the necessary factor for good health.
D.When we realize it may rob us of the ability to understand others.
30.How can unpleasant feelings be beneficial to a person’s well-being?
A.They rebuild a broken relationship.
B.They lead to self-reflection and personal growth.
C.They help keep the problems and challenges away.
D.They prevent long-term negative effects on mental health.
31.How does the author support his topic?
A.By doing experiments.
B.By using examples.
C.By doing a survey.
D.By using exact figures.
D
People who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early,researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study.They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.
The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure.However,the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death.Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early,as an article in the latest Sleep suggested.That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal last month suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100.This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.
However,the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity.Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said,“While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health,long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”
He also mentioned:Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take,and this pattern is more common among full-time workers suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours.On the other hand,the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”
Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health.However,whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the working environments,Professor Francesco Cappuccio added.
32.What did researchers in University of Warwick find?
A.Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.
B.People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.
C.People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.
D.Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one’s health.
33.What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with?
A.How long we sleep depends on our education.
B.Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.
C.Modern people sleep less because they work longer.
D.Long sleep is what causes our health problems.
34.What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep?
A.Social pressure.
B.Extension of sleeping time.
C.Longer working hours.
D.Changes of working environments.
35.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.Time to Sleep Early
B.How Long Should We Sleep?
C.The Importance of Sleep
D.Longer Sleep Makes Better Health

Five Daily Habits to Keep You Focused and Healthy at College
Are you struggling to stay focused this semester?There is always something going on for college students,including school projects,time spent with friends,and extracurricular activities.Below are five essential daily habits that can keep you going strong at college.
Express Gratitude
One of the keys to happiness is to express gratitude for the things you have already accomplished.Things as small as enjoying delicious food with your friends and having access to higher education can be your starting points for this powerful daily habit. 36
Get Enough Sleep
Sufficient sleep is a great way to maintain a focused and healthy lifestyle.Just like you set an alarm to wake up in the morning,try setting an alarm for yourself to go to sleep at night.One of my friends tried this. 37 Try it and reap the benefits of improving your memory,creativity,and stamina.
Exercise
To boost your mental and physical strength,you should have a short workout every morning. 38 But a 15-to 45-minute daily workout will make a huge difference in your life.It is the key to starting a productive day.Workouts also help your sleep by promoting deeper and longer sleep.
Set Social Media Limits
39 However,excessive use of these can lead to depression.According to the BBC,recent research has found that young people who spend more than two hours on social media every day are more likely to report poor mental health.You should schedule a certain time each day to check your feed.
Take Control of Your Finances
You must gain control over your money.To cut costs,I recommend buying second-hand textbooks,cutting out junk food from your diet,and avoiding eating out at restaurants as much as possible. 40 Besides,think about getting an on-campus job to earn some extra money.
A.You should also study hard and apply for scholarships.
B.This habit is not designed to turn you into a champion athlete.
C.And it worked out pretty well as he was more rested during the day.
D.It is true that social networking apps and websites are positive in some way.
E.Your two best friends are the brain in your head and the money in your pocket.
F.Excessive use of social media can lead to negative social behavioral consequences.
G.This is a very helpful activity because you start your day on a strong and positive note.

One spring,I was hired as a groundkeeper at a Country Inn,a famous bed-and-breakfast located in Washington state.The grand house is in a beautiful place.Many famous people have visited and even had their own rooms there.The owners,Philip and Cecelia,have done a perfect job for the house.However,the gardens were very overgrown.Worse yet,there was another problem:a very persistent doe (母鹿).
Every day when I came to work,there was new evidence of the deer’s big appetite.I tried many preventives:spray,human hair,soap,you name it—but none of those things had effect.Often when I was weeding,I’d look over and there she’d be,munching some tasty pieces.Worst of all,she feasted on the roses,in which Cecelia took great pride.I became so frustrated that I named her “Dinner”—and wanted to serve her on plates.
One morning,I was on my hands and knees pulling out vines and bushes when I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye.There was Dinner,not five feet away,munching a large leaf and staring at me.I felt a connection with this animal.We did have something in common—we were both mothers.I got the crazy idea of communicating with her and it seemed she wanted the same thing.
What’s up?I asked in my head.
I’m here because I feel safe,was the gentle reply I felt I heard.I have my fawns (幼鹿) bedded down nearby,and there is plenty to eat.When the twins are older after summer,I will move them deeper into the forest.
I understand that,I assured her.People come here too,from far away.I guess they’ll be interested to see you.I promise that nobody will harm you or your children.I don’t mind sharing the vegetation but Cecelia loves roses,too.She is very upset when they are all eaten.
A loud crash broke the magic.Our eyes met again briefly before she leaped off across the driveway,disappearing into the forest.Have I really communicated with the deer?
注意:1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
I went into the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal.
Every day,I enjoyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bothered them.

写作
第一节
Form a Good Class Habit
The programme “Form a Good Class Habit” launched three months ago has aroused great interest among our students,since then our life has taken on a new dimension.
In the past,I always started to get my work done till the last minute.When the programme began,I tried hard to force myself to do everything in time.With the encouragement from the people around me as well as my efforts,everything has changed—I’ve made significant progress in my studies and made more friends in my class.I’m really grateful for the programme now.
第二节
I went into the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal.“I just had a meeting of the minds with Dinner in the driveway,” I told her.“Maybe we can look at this problem in another way.The guests can see roses anywhere.But having wildlife might really add to the charm of the place.”Cecelia thought about it and liked the idea.For the next few months,Dinner brought her twins into the yard.While she grazed,the siblings ran around the lawn,just like small children.She even seemed to pose so that guests could take pictures.
Every day I enjoyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bothered them.The fawns were curious.They would stare at me through the bushes and jump around.Dinner’s parenting skills were excellent.I was touched by the gentleness and affection she showed her charges.As summer wound down,Dinner and her children visited less and less.She was taking them farther into the forest.Finally,they left for good.So maybe there is a way to live in harmony with these peaceful creatures.Consider who was here first and think what we’ve done to them,not just what they’ve done to us.
