In the age of technology, we can make friends through our screens, which is changing the way we connect with people, for better or for worse.
In primary schools, we made friends with our classmates. We played together after class, worked on group tasks, and traded items from our lunches-all of which we did face to face. In the modern age, we communicate our feelings and interests through carefully organized words and emojis online. This leads to the question: Is it right to choose friends just by how they look online?
In fact, real "face time" gives us the chance to connect on a deeper level and share the ups and downs of life that can’t be shared on the internet. Usually, the interests we share online are a reflection( 反映) of our interests offline. But make sure to connect outside of our screens too.
One way is to do some tasks with people around you. It may sound too simple, but it will help you relive( 重温) the way you made friends in the primary school playground. One fun example would be making a DIY project together. When we’re surfing the internet on our own, we can spend hours and never actually make an item. But when we meet offline to work, happiness comes from trying something new with a friend.
We don’t have to ignore the good things that come from an internet connection, but we really should balance them with quality face time.
1. How did the writer make friends in primary school?
A. By giving gifts to each other. B. By playing and sharing things.
C. By writing letters and messages. D. By joining online interest groups.
2. What does the writer think of real "face time"?
A. It is not as important as online chatting. B. It can show all of our interests in real life.
C. It should include organized words and emojis. D. It allows us to connect deeply and share our life.
3. What is the writer’s advice on friendship?
A. Making more real friends offline than online.
B. Going back to the primary school with friends often.
C. Balancing online connections with quality face time.
D. Spending more time working together with friends online.

六、阅读回答问题
The secret of growth (2025 南通期中)
The tiny egg cell (卵细胞) you grew from was smaller than the head of a needle. By the time you are fully grown, your body will be up to 20,000 times larger. That’s a lot of growing!
The secret to growth lies in your cells. In all animals-humans included-growth happens when cells get bigger, break apart to create new cells, and connect together. Even when you stop getting taller, this cellular activity never truly ends. Your body continues to renew itself throughout your life as worn-out cells are replaced by new ones. Your skin, muscles, blood, bones-even your brain-are constantly renewing themselves. In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you’re not the same person you were a few years ago!
Different parts of your body grow at different speeds. By age 10, your head is already close to its adult size, while the rest of your body may need another 10 years to catch up. Inside your body, organs like your heart, lungs, and liver each follow their own growth timetable. Your height comes mainly from how your bones develop, especially your spine(脊柱) and the long bones in your arms and legs.
Growth doesn’t happen at a steady ( 稳定的 ) pace. It speeds up quickly during two main times of fast growth: the first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager. During your first year of life, you grew about 25 centimetres! After that period, growth slowed down to 3 - 8 centimetres each year. But during your teenage years, you might suddenly grow 10 centimetres or more in a single year.
Your adult height is mostly set by the genes you get from your parents. To reach this natural height, your body needs good building materials: healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine for strong bones.
1. Where does the secret to growth lie?
2. How often are nearly all the cells in your body renewed?
3. Where does your height mainly come from?
4. When are the main times of fast growth?
5. What do you think your body needs to reach natural height?

When China’s national college entrance exam ( gaokao ) ended on June 9, 2025, most students celebrated with families. But 18-year-old Liu Yan from Guangxi chose a different path.

Balancing them on her shoulders, she walked the long road home alone.
A short video of her determined walk spread quickly online. Millions were inspired by her independence and simple strength. "It was just an ordinary way to move my things-nothing special," Liu said, adding that she often uses a pole to help with farm work at home.
Many kind-hearted people offered financial support after seeing her story. Liu politely refused all donations. "My family and I live happily and don’t need help.

When asked about her dreams, Liu’s eyes shone with determination. "I want to become a teacher. My own teachers planted seeds of hope in me. After college,____________"
During summer, Liu worked as a summer helper at a local restaurant, washing dishes and cleaning tables. " Earning my own money feels good," she smiled. "I’m proud to help my family with my efforts.

六、阅读回答问题
Have you ever noticed small details that others miss? Do you often think deeply about things? If so, you might be one of the Highly Sensitive People ( HSP ). Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature. It is not a weakness or a flaw-it is actually a unique gift that allows you to experience the world in a deeper way.
Highly Sensitive People process information more thoroughly than others. They often notice subtle textures, unspoken emotions, and creative ideas that many might overlook. This quality brings many advantages. The most well-known is creativity. In fact, many famous artists, musicians, and scientists are highly sensitive. Charles Darwin, for example, used his careful observation and deep thinking to develop the theory of evolution.
Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making, Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. Another important advantage is the " Boost Effect". It means that highly sensitive people benefit more from training, support, and positive environments. For example, in marriage counselling programmes, sensitive couples showed greater improvement and greater joy after receiving guidance.
For students who are highly sensitive, this feature can be a powerful tool in learning. They often benefit from quiet study environments, detailed instructions, and opportunities to reflect deeply on what they learn. Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways. By using their sensitivity, these students can achieve a better understanding and retention of knowledge.
You cannot change your natural sensitivity, nor should you try to hide it. The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength. Learn to appreciate your deep feeling and careful thinking. Show your true self to the world. Whether in study or in life, sensitivity is not a burden-it is a gift waiting to be opened.
1. What percentage of people are highly sensitive?
2. What are the important advantages of sensitive people?
3. Why are sensitive people good at making decisions?
4. How can teachers help highly sensitive students?
5. What should sensitive students do to make better use of their gift?

On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, " Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and warmly responded, "Of course you may!" She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel. "
"No, seriously?" I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now.I’m getting one!" she told me.
After class, we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon ( 校园偶像 ) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it," she said.
"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability," she added. " But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics ( 歌词 ) and live them out in our daily life.
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun years ago. We’d always keep her in mind because she is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
1. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage?
A. To share her wisdom and experience. B. To find out the secret of living longer.
C. To make her college dream come true. D. To get married to a wealthy husband.
2. The meaning of the underlined phrase "living it up" probably means "_____".
A. enjoying life B. growing older C. working hard D. losing herself
3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Rose graduated from college.
b. Rose gave an encouraging speech.
c. Rose and the writer became friends.
d. Rose introduced herself to the writer.
e. Rose became popular among students.
f. Rose greeted the writer with a big hug.
A. f-e-b-c-d-a B. f-c-a-b-d-e C. d-b-e-a-f-c D. d-f-c-e-b-a
4. What lesson can we learn from Rose’s story?
A. Being generous to people can gain respect from them.
B. Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts.
C. Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future.
D. Never stopping studying makes people stay young forever.

In Yangla, a remote town located in the mountains of Yunnan’s Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture over 3,000 metres above sea level, 32-year-old Doctor Nasheng devotes herself to caring for more than 5,400 villagers.
Nasheng studied Tibetan medicine at Qinghai University. Her love for this field started in childhood. She was always curious about Chinese medicine. But what truly pushed her was seeing her fellow villagers struggle with healthcare. "They once had to travel far to see doctors inland. Long trips, language barriers, and cultural differences made it even harder," she said, adding that many elderly villagers only speak Tibetan. This made her decide to learn Tibetan medicine and return to help her hometown.
She joined the Yangla Town Health Centre in September 2021. Although her hometown Yunling is in the same county, getting to Yangla takes a tiring 7-8-hour drive-crossing Baima Snow Mountain and following a winding path along the Jinsha River. She lives in a simple room inside the hospital ward, and the town only has one barbecue restaurant for entertainment. But she never thinks of giving up.
Yangla’s villages are spread across over 1,000 square kilometres, so the health centre holds monthly mobile free clinics. On Nasheng’s first clinic trip, she and her team drove 5 hours, then met a mudslide. They had to carry all medical supplies over the mountain on foot. After treating an elderly patient who worried about getting followup care, she suggested building a small health station. With local government’s support, one opened in June 2022, making it easier for villagers to see doctors. In 2023, she also helped set up a herbal bath room to ease villagers’ rheumatism and joint pain.
Nasheng keeps improving her skills. In 2024, she trained in Xizang to learn therapies like bloodletting and Tibetan stick therapy. Villagers love her: an 80-year-old gave her rare fruit( picked from a lower-altitude town), and during the last Spring Festival, they invited her team to a warm Tibetan party.
Looking ahead, Nasheng wants to study for a master’s degree to learn more about acupuncture. "But no matter where I go," she said, "I’ll always come back-this is my home."
1. Where is Yangla Town? have getting health care?
2. What problems did villagers in Yangla Town have getting health care?
3. When did Nasheng join the Yangla Town Health Centre?
4. Why did Nasheng set up a herbal bath room in 2023?

Have you done the MBTI personalities?”“Yes.I'm an ITJ,”replied a world-famous athlete in a recent interview.Her reply became a hot topic online and drew people's attention to the test.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI)is a test designed to discover a person's personality type.The test result is based on four sets of opposing qualities:Extroversion(外向)vs Introversion,Sensing vs Intuition(直觉),Thinking vs Feeling and Judging vs Perceiving(感知).After answering more than 90 questions,test-takers get their four-letter personality result,including a detailed description.The athlete's result of INTJ is one of the 16possible personality types that the test shows.
Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers in the USA in the 1940s,the test grew to become the standard for personality tests.Many companies and organizations use it to help them choose people for certain positions.And now in China,Internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
The key problem with the MBTI is that the test is too “black and white”according to The Guardian.The results place people into only one of each of the four categories, for example,someone is either an introvert or an extrovert.But many people would surely sit somewhere the middle of these two.In short,the MBTI only gives a“simplified view of human personality”,claimed The Guardian article.I can only really describe the surface(表面) of who people are.And don't forget that people’s behaviour and characteristics also change overtime.Tests and tools that help people better understand who they are and how they think are very powerful and can still help in some parts of life.As science and technology develop,people can look forward to more accurate(精确的)tests that truly include how wonderfully difficult and ever-changing humans really are.
1.Why does the writer mention the world-famous athlete in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the MBTI personality test. B.To call on more people to do the MBTI personality test.
C.To prove the MBTI personality test is helpful. D.To show the MBTI personality test is popular.
2.What does the article tell us about the MBTI?
A.It was developed about 90 years ago. B.It has been supported by psychology
C.It groups people into 16 different personality types.
D.It was created to help companies choose people for certain positions.
3.The underlined word“simplified”in the last paragraph probably means “___________”
A.in general B.in detail C.too difficult D.too simple
4.What is the purpose of writing this article?
A.To find out how to practise MBTI. B.To explain why MBTI is becoming popular.
C.To generally describe the MBTI personality test. D.To help readers understand themselves through MBTI.

Counting the hairs on your head would be very difficult.Many have tried,but most people give up after losing count or getting bored!However,scientists say people have more than100,000 hairs on their heads on average.Of course,this number is different from person to person.Some people have much more hair than others.
What causes hair loss?There are many reasons,such as stress,illness and styling.It also runs in families.Besides,many people simply lose hair as they grow older.To avoid losing hair,you should wash your hair correctly and condition(养护)your hair to help keep your hair healthy.It's also important to be gentle when brushing or combing hair.
Hair loss is not the same as daily shedding(脱落).People lose an average of 50 to 100hairs a day.It's normal.If you are losing more hair than average,talk to the adults you trust.They can help you decide whether to ask a doctor for help.
Why do humans have hair on their heads?Most other mammals(哺乳动物)have thick fur covering their whole bodies.While humans grow small and fine hairs on much of their skin,it's much thicker on the top of the head.Scientists say the answers come down to evolution(进化).Humans probably evolved without fur because they have more sweat glands(汗腺)than other mammals.Humans walk upright on two legs.Therefore,the top of their heads needs protection from the sun.This is why people have more hair on their heads than on the rest of their bodies.The hair als ohelps keep heat in cold weather and keep a healthy body temperature.

And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.
When those days come, don’t feel sad. Just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the deep love Ive always had for you, I just want to say, "I love you, my honey."

Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience! It might seem like everybody else knows exactly how to act. But remember you aren’t alone. Actually, everybody is nervous on their first day and you can fit right in with the help of the following tips.
Plan ahead the night before. You’ll feel less worried if everything is ready before you wake up for your first day. Lay out your first-day outfit, pack a lunch, and make sure you have all your school things ready to go. Planning ahead can help you get a good night’s sleep and feel less nervous.
Choose clothes that make you feel great. Make sure your clothes are cleaned and that you’ve taken a shower and brushed your teeth. If you hope to attract friends with similar interests, try wearing a T-shirt with your favourite animal or sports team on it. This can be an easy way to start a talk and break the ice a little.
Do your best to stay calm and positive. It’s normal to feel nervous or anxious when you’re the new kid at school. If you feel nervous, start by taking some deep breaths. Remember that everyone is the new kid at some point and that it’s not a big deal. You can listen to music that makes you feel calm or happy. Try imagining a good first day in your mind instead of keeping thinking about things that could go wrong.
Use your body language to show confidence. Don’t come in on the first day with your head hanging down, your shoulders lowered, and your eyes on the floor. Walk with your head held up. Make eye contact with other people if they talk to you.

五、阅读理解
Have you ever really loved a TV show? I mean the kind you think about all day and can’t wait to discuss with your friends. Especially when an episode (集) ends with an unsolved situation that makes you really want to know what happens next-but when will the next episode be?
This wanting often leads to binge-watching( 追剧). Thanks to developments in internet speed and technology, streaming(流媒体) services now allow us to watch the whole seasons of our favourite shows whenever we want. This has made binge-watching very common among young people.
However, recent research from a British media watchdog has found that of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have put off their homework. Next we’ll be missing work! Teachers are now worried that students might fail to complete homework for the same reason.
A All of these are often connected to a shortage of self-control and may develop into bad habits. Many people find binge-watching difficult to stop once they start. Some students report that it has made them unable to focus on studying. This raises an important question; could binge-watching become a new form of addiction?
Plenty of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, like any activity, when we go too far, it can be dangerous. It becomes especially worrying when it begins to influence our sleep, schoolwork, or personal relationships.
So what’s the solution? Moderation! Learning to manage our screen time wisely requires us to set clear rules-for example, by deciding on a viewing timetable beforehand-while also exploring other relaxing activities, such as reading, doing sports, or socializing with friends. Remember the old saying, "A little of what you enjoy does you good."
1. What can we learn about binge-watching?
A. It encourages students to finish their homework on time.
B. It is becoming less common because of new technology.
C. It may lead to sleep loss and less time for important tasks.
D. It helps build closer friendship through shared TV interests.
2. Why did the writer mention a research from a British media watchdog in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove that binge-watching can be harmful.
B. To show how popular binge-watching is among adults.
C. To introduce the main contents of TV shows in Britain.
D. To explain why streaming services have become so popular.
3. Which of the following is the most suitable for “__________”?
A. Why should people stop binge-watching?
B. What are the main reasons for binge-watching?
C. Binge-watching slops us better understanding the world.
D. Binge-watching is similar to harmful habits like binge-eating.
4. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Binge-watching is popular but should be controlled wisely.
B. Streaming services bring enjoyment as well as self-control problems.
C. Binge-watching has become an addiction that influences our daily lives.
D. People should manage their screen time and find other relaxing activities instead.

二、阅读理解
You may disagree with your friends or family members in some cases. While disagreements can be uncomfortable, there are some steps you can take to make conversations more polite and meaningful.
Listen to their side
Even if you don’t share someone’s point of view, you can still listen to what they want to say. Show that you’re paying attention by listening carefully without stopping them. Keep eye contact, nod and move your body towards the person you are listening to. Another way to show that you’re listening is by asking questions or repeating what they have said. You can start by saying, "OK. If I understand you, you are saying..."
Try respectful language
When someone has an opinion you don’t agree with, it can be easy to dismiss ( 摒弃 ) it. Some people refute ( 驳斥 ) others’ opinions by attacking or making fun of them. Here are some ways for you to express opinions with respect. Don’t use rude words like "stupid". Stay calm and start with "I" instead of "You". For example, you might say "I feel" or "I see this in another way". Also make sure you will not use "We" language, even if you know others in your group agree with you.
____▲___
An opinion with feelings is weak. If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts. Facts are not based on personal feelings or guesses; they are true statements. Say what you would like to say in a calm voice and make sure your facts are from sources that can be trusted. If you are stopped, gently remind the person that you gave them a turn to speak and now you would like to speak. Then give the person a chance to reply.
Find common ground
You may find that you can’t change others’ minds, and they may not change yours. Still, look for points you agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships with others.

A. Why do you need to listen to others’ side? B. How can you show that you are listening?
