Sometimes, making someone happy is easy — just say a few words that really satisfy him. From strangers to your family and closest friends, there are many nice things we can say to them to bring a little kindness to the world.
However, some people find it difficult to say something nice to others. Recently, the topic “Don’t feel ashamed to give compliments (赞美)” has gone popular on the social media. People shared personal experiences when people felt too shy to say something nice about someone. They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery (奉承)?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?” Because of these fears, some choose to stay quiet, leaving kind words unsaid.
This small habit seems harmless, but it can hide our true feelings. Little by little, we get used to keeping our praise, care and kindness deep inside. Over time, it can change our relationships and even reduce our own sense of happiness. As a result, we may start to feel distant from others.
In fact, saying something nice doesn’t mean we are trying to please others against our wish. Instead, it shows we pay attention to the strengths and efforts of those around us, and we value and respect them.
A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings (误会) and bring people together. So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him a sincere compliment? For example, you can focus on details like “This colour looks great on you!” or “You really have a good taste about music!” These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feel between you.
Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything.
14. Why do some people find it hard to praise others?
A. Because they like to keep their praise inside.
B. Because they think kind words cost too much.
C. Because they may praise others against wishes.
D. Because they worry others will not like their words.
15. What does the phrase “cold shoulder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A polite and warm welcome. B. A shy and quiet conversation.
C. A silent and unfriendly reply. D. A cold and dishonest manner.
16. The writer mentions “This colour looks great on you” as an example to show that ________.
A. compliments on clothing are always the perfect choice
B. a simple and detailed praise can build good relationships
C. a simple compliment can sometimes reduce misunderstandings
D. friends usually care more about their appearance than other things
17. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. The Secret to True Happiness B. Why We Should Not Praise Others
C. The Power of a Sincere Compliment D. How to Avoid Misunderstandings
C
Since the popular TV series Born to Be Alive was shown, a large number of viewers have shared their thoughts online. Many think it feels like watching a documentary, as the series is filmed against the beautiful landscapes of Qinghai and is based on real stories.
Where Is Sanjiangyuan?
In the south of Qinghai Province lies Sanjiangyuan, the meeting place of waters that give birth to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River. It provides around 60,000,000,000 m³ of fresh water for eighteen provinces and five other countries every year, becoming an important water source for millions of people in China.
This land is rich in not only its water but many rare animals. However, it was once in danger because of hunting. The number of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) dropped quickly from about 200,000 to fewer than 20,000. Born to Be Alive shows the efforts made to protect these animals.
Who Are the Guardians?
Born to Be Alive tells the story of Bai Ju, a young policewoman who joins a mountain patrol (巡逻) team. Together with Duo Jie, she fights against illegal (非法的) hunting and mining (采矿) and works hard to build a nature reserve.
The character Duo Jie is based on two real people: Jiesang Sonandajie and Qika Zhabaduojie. They were pioneers of ecological (生态的) protection in Kekexili. In 1997, the first nature protection station in Kekexili was completed and put into use. Thanks to generations of protection efforts, there are now around 70,000 Tibetan antelopes.
What Is the “Life Tree”?
The answer is simple now. The “Life Tree” is Sanjiangyuan. The network of waters is like a tree of life. Seen from the air, the rivers spread out like branches and roots, forming a great trunk that holds the land together. Yet its meaning goes far beyond its shape. The patrol members are not only protecting Tibetan antelopes; they are guarding the animals and plants that depend on the area.
After watching the series, many viewers continue to search for the real stories behind Qinghai’s ecological protection. The province, once taking no notice of the situation, is now drawing more attention across the country. Perhaps, through stories like this, more people will learn to listen to the heartbeat of the earth.
18. How does the writer lead into the topic about Sanjiangyuan?
A. By showing the beauty of Qinghai Province.
B. By introducing the popularity of the TV series.
C. By explaining the meaning of the “Life Tree”.
D. By telling the moving stories of the characters.
19. What do we know about Sanjiangyuan according to the passage?
A. Its river system is like a huge tree of life.
B. It is the only home of the Tibetan antelopes.
C. It is located in the north of Qinghai Province.
D. It provides most fresh water for all of China.
20. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To explain what the “Life Tree” means to the living things on earth.
B. To describe the natural beauty and its importance of Sanjiangyuan.
C. To introduce the life stories of the people who protect Sanjiangyuan.
D. To tell how a TV series raised people’s awareness of protecting nature.
21. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. Question → Example → Reason B. Fact → Problem → Result
C. Introduction → Details → Conclusion D. Story → Comparison → Opinion
D
It was a bright, sunny day. Little Albert Einstein could see the children playing outside, but he had to stay inside and felt bored because of illness.
“I have something for you!” his father told him mysteriously.
In his hand was a round, shiny object which looked like a pocket watch, but its face was marked with the letters N, S, E, and W, with only one big hand (指针).
“It’s called a compass.” his father continued. “Whichever way you turn it, the hand always points north! Explorers use it to work out where they get lost!”
Albert took the object from his father and watched it closely. “How does it work?” he wondered.
“Ah, it uses something called ‘magnetism’ (磁性)!” said his father, smiling. “The hand is a magnet and so is the planet Earth. That is why the hand always points north — because of the magnetic field around our planet!”
A feeling of curiosity ran through him. It was amazing to think the hand in his compass was controlled by something that was unseen... Could it be that there were other hidden forces at work in space? And what if there were?
Albert soon got better and was allowed to play outside again. But the compass was still on his mind. He did experiments to see how it reacted (反应) to iron objects or other magnets; he couldn’t wait to discover the rules of space.
Albert’s family encouraged his curiosity. His uncle taught him mathematics, which he could use to work out a lot. And a friend of his father even brought Albert a series of books called People’s Books on Natural Science. The boy lost himself in them at once!
Through reading, Albert learned about the discovery of new planets in Earth’s solar system, as well as things like gravity, magnetism...
But what amazed him most was the speed of light.
“Did you know that the speed of light is the same everywhere in space?” he told his sister Maja one day. “Scientists say nothing can go faster. I bet understanding the speed of light is very important if we want to understand space.”
Albert thought much about magnetism, gravity and light. He wondered if there were some keys to understanding how they are connected with each other. The more he read, the better he learnt about how everything worked. That little compass started him on a whole new journey of discovery — and who knew what would be waiting for him along the way!
22. Why did Albert’s father bring a compass to him?
A. Because Albert needed to learn about the compass.
B. Because Albert was sick and could not play outside.
C. Because Albert took great interest in space science.
D. Because his family wanted to encourage his curiosity.
23. How did Albert Einstein feel after receiving the compass from his father?
A. He was curious about how the compass worked.
B. He was lucky to have such an amazing compass.
C. He was surprised to look at the compass closely.
D. He was interested in reading the letters on it.
24. How did the compass help start Albert’s way of thinking like a scientist?
A. He began experiments to see its relationship with all the objects.
B. He got to know the speed of light is the same everywhere in space.
C. He wondered whether there were unknown forces that played a part.
D. He was encouraged to read as many books as possible in some ways.
25. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Albert would travel around the world as an explorer.
B. The compass was just a toy for Albert’s childhood fun.
C. His family supported his interest in science from the start.
D. The compass led Albert to a lifelong journey in science.

Besides, the documentary introduces rich cultural and historical knowledge. Together, they make it an inspiring and educational program for students and families.
For example, in one episode, viewers can see the Jiahu bone flute (贾湖骨笛) from a music textbook at the Henan Museum. “Here, you can hear an ancient sound from 8,000 years ago,” said director Shi Shunyu. Director Yang Yang hopes more students will visit museums. He believes textbooks are not boring. Instead, they are maps that guide young people to explore the world.
