When was the last time you felt stressed? What did you do with it? Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress—they hug trees. It sounds so unusual, doesn’t it? 1.
In 1984, a US scientist called Edward Wilson pointed out an idea called “biophilia hypothesis(亲生命假说)”. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things, such as trees, flowers and animals. Humans’ love for nature is in our blood. 2. It also helps explain why people love to keep pets to control stress.
3. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin(催产素). It’s a hormone which is responsible for feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier we may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin.
Another hormone called cortisol(皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person acts anxiously, angrily, or very sadly. 4. Thus, we can feel better.
Although the act is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt trees while hugging them. 5.
A. But there’s science behind the act.
B. Hugging trees helps cut down the production of cortisol.
C. We must be gentle when hugging trees—just like hugging a friend!
D. What’s the point of getting stressed about all kinds of bad situations?
E. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural views to man-made views.
F. Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our mental health.

Recently, cities like Chengdu, Qingdao and Fuzhou have cancelled unified(统一的) final exams for 10th and 11th graders across their cities. This move follows a national notice from the Ministry of Education(教育部), which aims to reduce students’ study pressure and help them develop in many ways. Instead of citywide exams, schools now organize their own small tests.
Parents have mixed feelings. Many feel worried. They say without unified exams, they can’t know their children’s real level compared to others in the city. Some also fear that different schools may have tests of different qualities, making it hard to plan for the future. However, a few parents support the change, as it lets their kids have less stress about being put in order.
Experts have shared their ideas. They say it does not mean no exams at all, but a better way to check students’ learning. Students can have more time for hobbies and their favourite study tasks. To reduce parents’ worries, education departments provide standard test questions for schools to use.
This new step tries to balance study and happiness. It may take time for everyone to get used to it, but it is good for students’ healthier growth. For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.

( )2. What may the underlined word “it” refer to?

( )3. What will probably be talked about next?
A. Ways to balance study and happiness. B. Ways for parents to reduce worries.
C. Ways to follow the experts’ ideas. D. Ways for schools to design proper tests.

Social practice plays an important role in teenagers’ growth. It serves as a bridge connecting the knowledge they gain in classrooms with the real world. Nowadays, teenagers are taking part in colourful social activities.
In China, many teenagers take part in community service, environmental projects, cultural events and so on. For example, some teenagers do community service, such as planning sports games, which can help improve their teamwork skills. In the countryside, farming programmes allow teenagers to experience growing crops.
Similarly, teenagers in other countries take part in volunteering, part-time jobs, or charity work. For example, in the US, many high school students often take part-time jobs at cafes or bookstores. They can earn pocket money through these jobs. In Canada, teenagers join wilderness survival(荒野生存) programmes, where they learn survival skills and leadership.
Social practice benefits teenagers in many ways. It lets them use what they learn in school in real life. For example, maths skills can help in planning a charity event. Besides, when teenagers help people in need, like homeless families or sick children, they learn kindness.
However, there are some problems too. Without guidance from schools or parents, choosing suitable activities can be difficult for teenagers. Schools are the key to solving these problems. For example, schools can work with communities to encourage students to support elderly people. By offering such opportunities, schools can help students safely find activities that suit their interests and abilities. This way, social practice becomes a valuable and enjoyable part of their education.
根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过10个单词。
1. What does social practice serve as connecting teenagers’ knowledge with the real world?
2. What can help teenagers improve their teamwork skills?
3. How many benefits of social practice are mentioned in Paragraph 4?
4. How can schools help students safely find activities that suit their interests and abilities?
5. What’s your opinion about social practice?

When was the last time you felt stressed? What did you do with it? Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress—they hug trees. It sounds so unusual, doesn’t it? 1. A
In 1984, a US scientist called Edward Wilson pointed out an idea called “biophilia hypothesis(亲生命假说)”.

五、 阅读理解。
Recently, cities like Chengdu, Qingdao and Fuzhou have cancelled unified(统一的) final exams for 10th and 11th graders across their cities. This move follows a national notice from the Ministry of Education(教育部), which aims to reduce students’ study pressure and help them develop in many ways. Instead of citywide exams, schools now organize their own small tests.
Parents have mixed feelings. Many feel worried. They say without unified exams, they can’t know their children’s real level compared to others in the city. Some also fear that different schools may have tests of different qualities, making it hard to plan for the future. However, a few parents support the change, as it lets their kids have less stress about being put in order.
Experts have shared their ideas. They say it does not mean no exams at all, but a better way to check students’ learning. Students can have more time for hobbies and their favourite study tasks. To reduce parents’ worries, education departments provide standard test questions for schools to use.
This new step tries to balance study and happiness. It may take time for everyone to get used to it, but it is good for students’ healthier growth. For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.
( B )1. What do schools in Chengdu, Qingdao and Fuzhou do instead of taking citywide unified final exams?
A. They stop all kinds of tests for students. B. They organize small tests on their own.
C. They ask parents to make tests at home. D. They use tests made by students themselves.
( A )2. What may the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Cancelling unified final exams. B. Knowing the students’ real level.

( D )3. What will probably be talked about next?
A. Ways to balance study and happiness. B. Ways for parents to reduce worries.
C. Ways to follow the experts’ ideas. D. Ways for schools to design proper tests.

Social practice plays an important role in teenagers’ growth. It serves as a bridge connecting the knowledge they gain in classrooms with the real world. Nowadays, teenagers are taking part in colourful social activities.
In China, many teenagers take part in community service, environmental projects, cultural events and so on. For example, some teenagers do community service, such as planning sports games, which can help improve their teamwork skills. In the countryside, farming programmes allow teenagers to experience growing crops.
Similarly, teenagers in other countries take part in volunteering, part-time jobs, or charity work. For example, in the US, many high school students often take part-time jobs at cafes or bookstores. They can earn pocket money through these jobs. In Canada, teenagers join wilderness survival(荒野生存) programmes, where they learn survival skills and leadership.
Social practice benefits teenagers in many ways. It lets them use what they learn in school in real life. For example, maths skills can help in planning a charity event. Besides, when teenagers help people in need, like homeless families or sick children, they learn kindness.
However, there are some problems too. Without guidance from schools or parents, choosing suitable activities can be difficult for teenagers. Schools are the key to solving these problems. For example, schools can work with communities to encourage students to support elderly people. By offering such opportunities, schools can help students safely find activities that suit their interests and abilities. This way, social practice becomes a valuable and enjoyable part of their education.
根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过10个单词。

It all began on a cold morning when little Ethan noticed an old man shivering(颤抖) on the street. The sky was dark and the snow was coming. Ethan felt worried about the man. He’d saved $100 that year.

He packed them into a large bucket(桶) and gave it to the old man.
After that, Ethan wanted to do more. He created “Ethan’s Heart”, an organization that attracted many volunteers. One of them even donated money to buy a trailer(拖车).
