Starting middle school made me really nervous, especially when my best friend, Callie, suddenly joined the popular group. It felt like she left me behind, and I was alone. On the first day, I quickly realized things were different. Callie didn’ t sit with me anymore, and I found it difficult to get along with my new classmates.
At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls ——Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They were so friendly, and soon, I started feeling more peaceful around them. As the days passed, I spent more time with them, and slowly, school didn't seem so bad.
One day, we had a great idea: we decided to start a cupcake club! Everyone would add something different to the group. I' ve always loved baking, so I was excited to join. Together, we planned to bake cupcakes and sell them to raise money for the school. This means we wanted to collect money by selling the cupcakes.
As time went on, my confidence grew. I realized I didn't need to be part of the“popular” group to feel happy. Even though Callie and I weren't as close as we used to be, I was OK with that. I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was.
Through the cupcake club, I found my own place in middle school. I learned that being true to myself was important. I felt happy and confident, knowing that with the support of my new friends, I could face any problems that came my way.

If you are one of the many professionals (职业人士 ) who are too busy with their work to do their favourite activities, a new study might help you keep up with your hobbies.
The research out of San Francisco State University is about how creative hobbies like cooking, painting and gardening influence work performance.“We have found that the more you take part in creative activities, the better you will do at work,” said Kevin Eschleman, a professor of psychology(心理学).
The study shows that those who enjoy themselves in a creative hobby perform 15%~30% better at work. The research team provided several possible explanations for this. Spending time doing your favourite creative activities might give you energy to head back to work, or could also be a way to learn more about your strengths and weaknesses (劣势 ). You can get some knowledge that will help with your work as well. Those who take up a hobby also have greater feelings of control.
The researchers also say it is a bad idea for managers to push their workers into developing their hobbies.“Managers surely don’ t want to have their workers feel like their company (公司 ) is controlling them, especially when it comes to creative activities,” Eschleman said. Instead, he offered some advice: Large companies, such as Zappos, put workers’ artworks into office as decorations. It’ s a good way to tell workers to keep up with their creative hobbies.
( )62. What is the research out of San Francisco State University about?
A. When people do creative activities.
B. Why people like creative activities.
C. What kinds of creative activities people like.
D. How creative activities influence people's work performance.
( )63. How many explanations did the research team offer for their findings in paragraph 3?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )64. What will happen if managers push their workers to develop their hobbies?
A. The workers will be excited. B. The workers will be thankful.
C. The workers won't mind it. D. The workers won't like it.
( )65. What is the best title for the text?
A. Keep Up with Your Creative Hobbies
B. No Creative Hobbies for Professionals
C. Never Too Busy to Have a New Hobby
D. Keep up Your Good Work Performance

Have you ever seen those tall, pointed (尖的 ) mountains that look like something from a story? Or explored huge caves (洞穴) full of strange shapes?These are part of karst landscapes (喀斯特地貌),a natural wonder that China is famous for.
Karst is a special landform formed over millions of years. When rainwater,which is slightly acidic (酸性的 ), falls on limestone (a type of rock), it slowly breaks down the rock. This process creates amazing shapes on the surface and underground. In China, you can find some of the most breathtaking karst scenery in the world.
The Stone Forest (Shilin) in Yunnan is a fantastic example. It looks like a real forest made of stone! Walking through it, you will be amazed by the stone peaks and towers. Local Yi people even have a famous festival there. Another world-famous site is the South China Karst in Guilin and Yangshuo. The landscape there has the feature of green-covered karst hills standing along the beautiful Li River. It is so beautiful that it appears on the back of the 20-yuan Chinese banknote. Taking a boat trip along the river is like travelling through a Chinese painting.
Besides the beautiful surface views, karst areas also hide amazing underground worlds, such as the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin. Inside, you can see stalactites(hanging from the ceiling) and stalagmites(rising from the floor), all lit up by colourful lights, creating a magical scene.
These karst landscapes are not just beautiful; they are also valuable for scientific research. So protecting these natural wonders is very important so that people in the future can also enjoy their beauty.
( )66. How does the writer start paragraph 1?
A. By telling a story. B. By comparing facts.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
( )67. What mainly causes karst landscapes to form?
A. Strong winds and rains.
B. Acidic rainwater washing away limestone.
C. The movement of ice.
D. Volcanic(火山的) activities under the earth.
( )68. What does the underlined word“feature” mean in paragraph 3?
A. A simple point. B. A unclear sign.
C. A special quality. D. A main stone.
( )69. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Stone Forest is famous for its water.
B. Karst landscapes are only beautiful but have no scientific value.
C. The Reed Flute Cave is famous for its hills above the ground.
D. Karst landscapes need people's protection.
( )70. What is the main purpose of this text?
A. To explain how karst landscapes are formed.
B. To suggest travelling to Yunnan and Guilin.
C. To offer information about karst landscapes.
D. To call for action to protect karst landscapes.

阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall. It makes us wonder since scientists can send a man to the moon, why they can't find a cure for common colds. The answer is easy—— there are many different cold viruses.You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus gets into your body, your body works hard to fight against it.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it, so you feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
There is one interesting thing to note—— some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only about seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
71. Why can't scientists find a cure for common colds?
72. How many examples does the writer give to prove (证明 ) your body works hard to fight against viruses?
73. Why do people have a runny nose when having a cold?
74. How long does it usually take to get over a cold?
75.开放性设问 What do you often do to deal with colds?

Dear Li Cheng,
I'm sorry to hear that your parents refuse to let you talk with your friends on the phone. I understand your feelings. Talking with friends really helps you relax and stop feeling lonely.
First, you should calm down and avoid arguing with your parents. Arguing only makes things worse. Then, find a quiet time to have a good talk with them. Tell them how you truly feel and explain that chatting with friends is important for you.
At the same time, you can show them you study hard and won’ t waste too much time. I believe they will understand you little by little. Good luck!
Yours truly,
Jiang Ke
