She knows that body language is a kind of silent language, and it can sometimes tell us more than words. She decided to do a small study to learn more about it. This 13-year-old girl first read many articles about body language online. She learned that people use gestures, eye contact, and posture to send messages. Then she did a survey with her classmates. She asked 80 students to watch short videos of people talking, and guess how the people in the videos felt. The students were divided into two groups: one group could only see the words the people said, and the other group could only see their body language. After the survey, Lisa compared the answers. She found that the group who saw only body language guessed the feelings correctly 72% of the time. The group who only read the words was only right 58% of the time. Although her study was small, Lisa learned that body language is a very important part of communication. “If you want to really understand someone, you need to watch more than just listen,” she said. Later, Lisa shared her study in her school’s English club. Many students found it interesting and started to pay more attention to their own body language when talking to others. 56．Lisa ________ right after she read articles about body language online. A．did a survey with classmates B．shared her study in the club C．taught others about body language D．watched videos with her family 57．In paragraph 2, the students in the two groups ________.

The research involved 500 participants who were asked to listen to different styles of emotional music and then report their feelings. The study found that when people listen to sad music, they often experience a mix of emotions. Instead of feeling worse, many participants reported feeling calm, comforted, or even refreshed after listening. The researchers call this the “paradox of sad music” – why do people enjoy something that should theoretically make them sad? According to the lead researcher, Dr. Emily Chen, there are several reasons. First, sad music can help people feel understood. When someone is going through a difficult time, hearing a song that expresses similar feelings can make them feel less alone. Second, sad music often has a beautiful melody that is pleasing to listen to, regardless of the emotional content. Third, experiencing sadness through music in a safe environment (like your own room) can be a way to process and release emotions without real-life risks. The study also found that people who have a strong ability to imagine stories and scenes – called “absorption” – are more likely to enjoy sad music. These people can “get lost” in the musical journey and find deep meaning in the lyrics and melody. So next time you’re feeling down, don't refuse to put on a sad song. Check it out – you might be surprised to find that it actually lifts your spirits. 65．What did the University of Helsinki study find about sad music? 66．What is the “paradox of sad music” according to the researchers? 67．List two reasons why sad music can make people feel better. 68．What kind of people are more likely to enjoy sad music? 【答案】65．The study found that listening to sad music can actually make people feel better. 66．The paradox is why people enjoy something that should theoretically make them sad. 67．Sad music helps people feel understood and less alone/it often has a beautiful melody/it allows listeners to process and release emotions safely. 68．People who have a strong ability to imagine stories and scenes (people with high “absorption”) are more likely to enjoy sad music. 【导语】本文介绍了赫尔辛基大学的一项新研究，探讨了悲伤音乐反而能改善人们情绪的现象、背后的原因以及适合欣赏悲伤音乐的人群。 65．原文第一段开头提到“A new study from the University of Helsinki has found that listening to sad music can actually make people feel better.”，直接提取研究结论。 66．原文第二段结尾提到“the paradox of sad music” —why do people enjoy something that should theoretically make them sad?，给出了悖论的定义。 67．原文第三段列举了多个原因，任选两点作答即可：①Sad music makes people feel understood and less alone. ②It has beautiful melody. ③It helps safely process and release feelings. 68．原文第四段提到“The study also found that people who have a strong ability to imagine stories and scenes —called :“absorption” —are more likely to enjoy sad music.”，提取对应人群。 Jack Calder Violin player Jack Calder plays in the Australian band, Ocean Blue. Jack Calder started playing the violin when he was ten. “My music teacher played and one day he asked if anyone wanted to learn. Some girls put up their hands and so did I. I didn’t have a violin, but my uncle said I could use his. The lessons were really hard at first, but playing the violin soon became important to me.” After leaving school, Jack moved to Melbourne. For a time, he preferred listening to music to playing it. The rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music, so he bought an electric violin, and started putting the things he liked about rock music into the music he played on his violin. A year later, Jack met a small group of Melbourne musicians. “We all thought about music in the same way and started Ocean Blue together. A year later, we were playing lots of concerts, and our music was selling well. But we didn’t want this to make us different people. We didn’t want to stop being friends.” Jack meets many people who think playing the violin is an unusual career, but he doesn’t agree with them. “I think it’s the best thing in the world. I guess I’m lucky that way. The Internet has changed music, but when I walk into a violin shop it’s like entering another world - one where time has stopped. Someone has looked after these beautiful old instruments that are two or three hundred years old. I think that’s amazing.” When asked what advice he has for young people, Jack says, “I think it’s important to .” 69．Who asked Jack if anyone wanted to learn the violin? 70．How did Jack get a violin to learn at first? 71．Why did Jack start putting rock elements into his violin music? 72．What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 3 refer to? 73．What can be filled in the blank? (No more than 7 words) I think it’s important to . 74．If you are Jack, will you care about others’ opinions on your “unusual career”? Why or why not? because 【答案】69．His music teacher. 70．He borrowed his uncle's violin. 71．Because the rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music. 72．It refers to their success in playing lots of concerts and selling their music well. 73．follow your passion 74． No, I won’t I love what I do. 【导语】本文主要讲述了澳大利亚乐队Ocean Blue的小提琴手Jack Calder的音乐经历：他从10岁开始学小提琴，毕业后将摇滚元素融入小提琴演奏，与他人组建乐队，同时表达了对小提琴事业的热爱，并给年轻人提出建议。 69．第一段直接引用Jack的话“My music teacher played and one day he asked if anyone wanted to learn.”，这是原文中的直接信息，因此是他的音乐老师询问是否有人想学小提琴。 70．第一段明确指出“I didn’t have a violin, but my uncle said I could use his.”，这是原文中的具体信息，直接提取可知他最初使用叔叔的小提琴来学习。 71．第二段直接说明原因“The rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music, so he bought an electric violin, and started putting the things he liked about rock music into the music he played on his violin.”，答案几乎是原文引述。 72．第三段提到“A year later, we were playing lots of concerts, and our music was selling well. But we didn’t want this to make us different people.”，结合上下文可知this指代的是他们在音乐上的成功（举办多场音乐会且唱片畅销）。 73．结合全文Jack坚持热爱小提琴、不被他人看法影响的态度，以及他对音乐的珍视，此处应填入表达“坚持热爱/追随梦想”等含义的短语，符合他给年轻人的建议方向。 74．原文第四段Jack表示“Jack meets many people who think playing the violin is an unusual career, but he doesn’t agree with them. ‘I think it’s the best thing in the world. I guess I’m lucky that way.’”，因此他不会在意他人看法，理由是他热爱自己的事业，认为这是世界上最棒的事。 Sunny Middle School School Newspaper Team Talk: Group Work    Advice CornerLi Hua’s Group Trouble To Ms. Chen, My name is Li Hua, a 7th-grade student. Last month, my class started a group project about environmental protection. My four-person team was excited at first—but things quickly fell apart. When we divided tasks, some teammates called me “bossy” because I kept checking their work. I only wanted us to finish on time! Meanwhile, two quiet members never spoke up in meetings. They nodded and said “OK,” but I later found they hadn’t even started their parts. When I asked, they said they were too shy to share their thoughts. Last week, we had a big fight. No one listened to each other, and our project is way behind schedule. I’m really worried—how can we fix this? Li Hua Ms. Chen’s reply Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear about your group trouble. Group work teaches us so much, but it can be tricky when communication breaks down. The good news is, small changes can turn things around! Here are my 3 key tips for your team: - The “Speak & Listen” Rule  Before your next meeting, write down your ideas, but let everyone else speak first. This way, you won’t sound like you’re giving orders, and your quiet teammates will feel safe to share. - Use “I” Statements, Not Blame Instead of saying, “You never do your work,” try, “I feel worried when we don’t know how the project is going.” This tells others how you feel without making them defensive (抵制的). - Play to Everyone’s Strengths Your quiet teammates might be shy about speaking up, but they could be amazing at researching facts or designing posters! Assign roles based on what each person enjoys, not just what “needs to get done.” Remember: Good team communication isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about making sure everyone feels heard. Try these tips, and I’m sure your group will get back on track soon! Ms. Chen School Counselor Task 1: Answer the questions. 75．Does Li Hua’s group have four members? 76．Why did Li Hua’s teammates call her “bossy”? 77．What should Li Hua use instead of blaming others according to Ms. Chen? 78．What is the purpose of the Team Talk column in the school newspaper?

Five. The first one is the thumb (拇指). Where is your forefinger (食指)? It is next to your thumb. The two fingers can make “OK”. And people usually use the forefinger to point at (指) things. Why do we call the forefinger shizhi? In Chinese, shi means “food”—so shizhi means “food finger”. A long time ago, everyone in China ate with their hands. At the time, people often use their forefingers to taste food, like soup. They quickly put their forefinger into the soup. Then, they put the finger into their mouth and taste it. That’s why we call the forefinger the “food finger”. The forefinger is more flexible (灵活的) than other fingers, so people like to use it to do this. There is a Chinese idiom “shizhi dadong” (食指大动). It means that someone’s forefinger is “jumping”. A story says that in the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期), there lives a man named Gongzi Song in the Zheng state. Every time his forefinger is “jumping”, he will eat a really nice dish the next day. These days, we use “shizhi dadong” to show our excitement. It means how happy we are when we see tasty food coming our way. What is the food finger? The 80 of the forefinger The forefinger is the 81 finger in people’s hands.

A survey of 2,000 British workers found that half of them listen to music when they are at work. Some of their bosses encourage them to do so, w 106 others are against it. They believe it has a bad influence on their work. British doctor Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out the relationship between the background music and the efficiency. In the experiment, four people were asked to copy two 600-word sets of song l 107 . The group of people worked on the first set with no music playing and then worked on the second set with classical music playing in the background. It took them about 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set.

She decided to do a small study to learn more about it. This 13-year-old girl first read many articles about body language online. She learned that people use gestures, eye contact, and posture to send messages. Then she did a survey with her classmates. She asked 80 students to watch short videos of people talking, and guess how the people in the videos felt. The students were divided into two groups: one group could only see the words the people said, and the other group could only see their body language. After the survey, Lisa compared the answers. She found that the group who saw only body language guessed the feelings correctly 72% of the time. The group who only read the words was only right 58% of the time. Although her study was small, Lisa learned that body language is a very important part of communication. “If you want to really understand someone, you need to watch more than just listen,” she said.

The research involved 500 participants who were asked to listen to different styles of emotional music and then report their feelings. The study found that when people listen to sad music, they often experience a mix of emotions. Instead of feeling worse, many participants reported feeling calm, comforted, or even refreshed after listening. The researchers call this the “paradox of sad music” – why do people enjoy something that should theoretically make them sad? According to the lead researcher, Dr. Emily Chen, there are several reasons. First, sad music can help people feel understood. When someone is going through a difficult time, hearing a song that expresses similar feelings can make them feel less alone. Second, sad music often has a beautiful melody that is pleasing to listen to, regardless of the emotional content. Third, experiencing sadness through music in a safe environment (like your own room) can be a way to process and release emotions without real-life risks. The study also found that people who have a strong ability to imagine stories and scenes – called “absorption” – are more likely to enjoy sad music. These people can “get lost” in the musical journey and find deep meaning in the lyrics and melody. So next time you’re feeling down, don't refuse to put on a sad song. Check it out – you might be surprised to find that it actually lifts your spirits. 65．What did the University of Helsinki study find about sad music? 66．What is the “paradox of sad music” according to the researchers? 67．List two reasons why sad music can make people feel better. 68．What kind of people are more likely to enjoy sad music? Jack Calder Violin player Jack Calder plays in the Australian band, Ocean Blue. Jack Calder started playing the violin when he was ten. “My music teacher played and one day he asked if anyone wanted to learn. Some girls put up their hands and so did I. I didn’t have a violin, but my uncle said I could use his. The lessons were really hard at first, but playing the violin soon became important to me.” After leaving school, Jack moved to Melbourne. For a time, he preferred listening to music to playing it. The rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music, so he bought an electric violin, and started putting the things he liked about rock music into the music he played on his violin. A year later, Jack met a small group of Melbourne musicians. “We all thought about music in the same way and started Ocean Blue together. A year later, we were playing lots of concerts, and our music was selling well. But we didn’t want this to make us different people. We didn’t want to stop being friends.” Jack meets many people who think playing the violin is an unusual career, but he doesn’t agree with them. “I think it’s the best thing in the world. I guess I’m lucky that way. The Internet has changed music, but when I walk into a violin shop it’s like entering another world - one where time has stopped. Someone has looked after these beautiful old instruments that are two or three hundred years old. I think that’s amazing.” When asked what advice he has for young people, Jack says, “I think it’s important to .” 69．Who asked Jack if anyone wanted to learn the violin? 70．How did Jack get a violin to learn at first? 71．Why did Jack start putting rock elements into his violin music? 72．What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 3 refer to? 73．What can be filled in the blank?

Last month, my class started a group project about environmental protection. My four-person team was excited at first—but things quickly fell apart. When we divided tasks, some teammates called me “bossy” because I kept checking their work. I only wanted us to finish on time! Meanwhile, two quiet members never spoke up in meetings. They nodded and said “OK,” but I later found they hadn’t even started their parts. When I asked, they said they were too shy to share their thoughts. Last week, we had a big fight. No one listened to each other, and our project is way behind schedule. I’m really worried—how can we fix this? Li Hua Ms. Chen’s reply Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear about your group trouble. Group work teaches us so much, but it can be tricky when communication breaks down. The good news is, small changes can turn things around! Here are my 3 key tips for your team: - The “Speak & Listen” Rule  Before your next meeting, write down your ideas, but let everyone else speak first. This way, you won’t sound like you’re giving orders, and your quiet teammates will feel safe to share. - Use “I” Statements, Not Blame Instead of saying, “You never do your work,” try, “I feel worried when we don’t know how the project is going.” This tells others how you feel without making them defensive (抵制的). - Play to Everyone’s Strengths Your quiet teammates might be shy about speaking up, but they could be amazing at researching facts or designing posters! Assign roles based on what each person enjoys, not just what “needs to get done.” Remember: Good team communication isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about making sure everyone feels heard. Try these tips, and I’m sure your group will get back on track soon! Ms. Chen School Counselor Task 1: Answer the questions. 75．Does Li Hua’s group have four members? 76．Why did Li Hua’s teammates call her “bossy”? 77．What should Li Hua use instead of blaming others according to Ms. Chen? 78．What is the purpose of the Team Talk column in the school newspaper?

(Write about 30 words.) 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，完成下列空格。每空仅填一词。 How many fingers (手指) are there in one hand? Five. The first one is the thumb (拇指). Where is your forefinger (食指)? It is next to your thumb. The two fingers can make “OK”. And people usually use the forefinger to point at (指) things. Why do we call the forefinger shizhi? In Chinese, shi means “food”—so shizhi means “food finger”. A long time ago, everyone in China ate with their hands. At the time, people often use their forefingers to taste food, like soup. They quickly put their forefinger into the soup. Then, they put the finger into their mouth and taste it. That’s why we call the forefinger the “food finger”. The forefinger is more flexible (灵活的) than other fingers, so people like to use it to do this. There is a Chinese idiom “shizhi dadong” (食指大动). It means that someone’s forefinger is “jumping”. A story says that in the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期), there lives a man named Gongzi Song in the Zheng state. Every time his forefinger is “jumping”, he will eat a really nice dish the next day. These days, we use “shizhi dadong” to show our excitement. It means how happy we are when we see tasty food coming our way. What is the food finger? The 80 of the forefinger The forefinger is the 81 finger in people’s hands. People usually use forefinger to point at things. The 82 of the “food finger” Chinese people call “Food finger” “shizhi” because shi means “food”. People can taste food 83 putting the finger into their mouth. People like to use the forefinger because it is more flexible. The story about “shizhi dadong” If Gongzi Song’s forefinger jumps, he will eat a nice dish the next day. People use “shizhi dadong” to show that they are 84 when they see some tasty food. 四、短文填空 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 “Tomorrow, you are becoming Chinese,” a user says in a popular TikTok video.
