If you don’t like so many questions about your day, ask your mom about her day and use it as a 38 to practice your good listening skills. Or tell her about your day before she 39 .

A few minutes later, all leaders were told that they had to find the balloon with their own name on it among hundreds of balloons in the room. The head warned them that if a balloon broke, the person 46 for it would lose the game. Twenty minutes passed, but no one was 47 to find his balloon. Then the head said, “If you find a balloon, give it to the person whose name is on it as 48 as you can.” In just two minutes, everyone 49 their balloons back! All of them felt excited. At last, the head said, “You can now 50 that we work faster when we are ready to share with each other and we are better problem solvers when we are working together.” 41.

B Mary was born in Jamaica to a British soldier father and a Jamaican mother who ran a boarding house. Her mother was also a traditional healer (治疗师), and because of that, Mary took an interest in nursing and learned a lot about medicine and nursing from her. After Mary’s husband died in 1844, she used her nursing skills to help people during a cholera (霍乱) outbreak. When the Crimean War broke out in 1853, Mary wanted to help. She went to London to join Florence Nightingale’s nursing team, but was refused. Instead of giving up, Mary went to the Crimea and opened the British Hotel in 1855. It was a place where soldiers could rest and find comfort. Mary also made the way to send food and medicine to the front lines, helping wounded soldiers from both sides. She was known as a brave and kind woman who cared deeply for others. However, Mary spent all her money helping soldiers and became very poor when she returned to London in 1856. The newspapers and the British Army heard about her story and raised money to help her. In 1857, Mary’s book Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands came out, which became very popular. With the raised money, Mary was able to have a comfortable life in London until she passed away in 1881.

However, failing in something can lead to new understanding and even better results. Here are some ways to turn failure into a positive force (力量) in your life. Sometimes you may not do something very well. Don’t think too much about your mistakes. You can’t change the past. You can only change the future. Focus on what you can do next to get better. If people are used to doing well, they may worry that they might not be good at something new. This could mean missing out on all kinds of chances. Never let the fear of failure stop you. Some things in life are easy, while others are challenging. When you are faced with difficulties, it’s easy to give up. But if you keep trying, you can achieve great things, just like riding a bike. It requires practice, balance, and courage. If you fall off, get back up and try again! Keeping going after failure is a great skill. It can open up new paths for you to try. Maybe you fail at one career path, but that failure leads you to discover a field you truly love. 63. According to the paragraph2, what should people do when they don’t do well in a school test? A.

D When I was a little girl, I was shy. I was afraid to speak up in class or make new friends. My heart would beat fast whenever someone asked me a question, and my face would turn red like a tomato. I spent most of my spare time reading books. I was comfortable in my little world, but I knew something was missing. One day, I met a new friend, Anna. Anna was different from me. She loved trying new activities and meeting new people. She encouraged me to step out of my world. We went riding and camping together. I was scared, but Anna taught me that it was OK to make mistakes and that failure was a stepping stone to success. Slowly but surely, I started to change. I began to raise my hand and share my thoughts in class. It felt great to be heard and valued by my classmates and teachers. I even joined school clubs and took part in talent shows. Now, I’m different. I’m shy sometimes, but I’ve learnt to be proud of myself. I’ve discovered that being myself is the best way to make true friends. Thanks to Anna, I see the world as a place full of possibilities. I’m not afraid of trying new things because they help me grow. I’ve become someone brave, confident, and ready to explore the world. 66. The writer spent most of her spare time ________ when she was little.

The team soon faced their first match. When they played against another team from Western High School, they just lost so quickly! Jack felt awful.

From then on, they practised hard together every day. Months later, they met that team again. When the game started, Jack exchanged an encouraging nod with Sam. This time, they played as if they were one person! Just a few seconds before the game was over, Sam got the ball. Seeing Jack was in the best position to score, he passed it at once without thinking.

The teacher gave us a task: to set up a tent (帐篷) within 30 minutes. When everyone started to take out the tent parts, I was considering what I should do. Alex saw me and said, “Come on, Mary! You can carry the tent cloth for me.” When we tried to put the poles (支柱) into the tent, we found it difficult. Alex said, "I think we can divide the work into small parts. " Then Alex and three other students held one pole, while I handed them nails (钉子). Although none of us had done this before, we finished setting up the tent 2 minutes before the deadline!
