I had to take medicine for high blood pressure and my shoulders really hurt. I often felt so tired that I had difficulty walking up and down stairs. I got emotional (易激动的) easily as well, and I was in great need of a change. My daughter Michelle came to me and offered me the chance to work out with her that winter. I would be taking part in an online group with other women who were all working to change their habits and take the best possible care of themselves. With the help of Michelle and the team of women, I learned how to use an iPhone for the first time in my life. It was unbelievably hard work, and there were many days when I was in tears (眼泪) but I never gave up. I renewed my gym membership (健身房会员), created balanced meals, moved around with confidence in the gym and I understood the importance of lifting heavy weights. I don’t expect my changes to be very quick. I will go at my own speed. I think it’s human nature to wonder if we are on the right way or not, especially on a long trip. With the months flying by, I could see that we were all changing. My confidence in the gym was growing. We were all cheering each other on. I’m now five years into my journey. I can honestly say that I am a different woman than I was when I started out. I really enjoy meeting other women and men who also want to live a healthier way of life. If you wish to get your health improved, I can tell you that it is not an easy journey to go on. However, it is well worth it. I hope my story can give you the confidence. 5.

This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don’t even know the task (任务) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn’t the best way to think about helping others. ________ It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you. The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking “how many hours have you helped”, they should ask “how have you made things better for others”. They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent. We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you’re helping. Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world. 9. Which of the following can be put in “________”? A. Why don’t you try volunteering? B. Helping others shouldn’t be only about numbers. C. More and more people are helping the community. D. Maybe you know why to help others. 10. What does the underlined word “benefit” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Be interested in. B. Be good for. C. Be bad for. D. Be popular with. 11. Which is NOT a good way for the students to think about? A. Helping because you have to. B. Caring about and choosing a group. C. Learning about the people in need. D. Thinking it’s the right thing to do. 12. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the number of volunteer hours? A. The writer loves it very much. B. The writer agrees with it strongly. C. The writer is careful about it. D. The writer doesn’t think it is important. In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren, or Chinese mermaids, whose tears become pearls (珍珠) after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster called Xiangliu, which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake.

He was seen as having a beast-like body and a human face, riding around the sky on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the God of water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world became dark. Then he brought fire from heaven to the world and taught humans how to use it.
