In many people’s eyes, school life is full of joy. However, it isn’t always as 1 as you think. There still may be some awful things. Bullying (霸凌) is one of them.
Xi Zi was bullied by her 2 when she attended school. Some made fun of her clothes and her weight. Some 3 rumors (谣言) about her and then no one wanted to play with her. From junior high school to college, Xi always remained 4 . Those things kept her from expressing herself.
Luckily, Xi finally found a way to help 5 and others in her situation. She made her experiences into a role-playing board game, The Choice of Transfer Students. Players can choose to be one of the three 6 —the bully, the bullied one or the onlooker (旁观者). They will experience many bullying situations. And their different actions or words will lead to different results. In this way, players see what 7 can do to people. Then they can choose to do the right thing when bullying happens. Xi hoped that speaking out about her experiences would help bullied children to be 8 and heard. “I hope they know that in the face of bullying, we have the ability to 9 ,” said Xi.
Over one third of students aged 13 to 15 have experienced bullying. Among them, those who are left out are more likely to be bullied, 10 students with disabilities. To solve this problem, parents, teachers and schools should all work together to stop bullying in schools.

More and more young students are spending less time on physical activities these days. They prefer to stay indoors, 1 with phones or computer games for hours, because they find sports less 2 than online games. This has 3 many problems like having trouble focusing in class.
In fact, physical exercise is very important for teens. It not only makes their bodies stronger but also helps them 4 their minds. A recent survey shows that the young who exercise often are more 5 in class and have better grades. Therefore, schools should hold more fun sports activities. Parents can also encourage their kids to go out and play. Teens themselves should realize the importance of exercise and make it a daily 6 .
Last term, my school held a sports meeting. Many children joined in it 7 . They ran, jumped and played ball games. After the meeting, some students said they felt more energetic. This shows that sports can really 8 children’s daily life. A P. E. teacher said, “Exercise is not just for keeping fit. It also teaches the young to work with others and face challenges.”

Two years ago, Doctor Guillodo from France wanted to encourage people to use their smartphones less. He found a group of people to do an experiment. They 1 to try to cut down their phone use. Out of nearly 500 people, about 75% couldn’t 2 their phone use by even an hour a day, and they appeared to be lazy. However, most of the people who cut down their phone time became more 3 .
Guillodo, who works at a university hospital center, has written a book called Smartphones Kill. He warned that smartphones are hard to 4 . He also pointed out that smartphones make people 5 more. He explained that when we use our smartphones, we usually sit down. So, the more we use our phones, the more we sit. And sitting 6 can lead to health problems like heart disease. It also increases the 7 of some types of cancer.
Professor Andrew in the US has also studied this. He found the same 8 as Doctor Guillodo did. He also said that people even use their phones while exercising. This makes their exercise less 9 .
Professor Paul from London is studying if smartphones can cause long-term health problems. He found a 10 between digital technology use and BMI in teenagers. This connection might be because we don’t sleep well after using phones.

“We’re going to cut science class today. It’s too boring. I know you want to 1 us. Let’s go!” Maybe you’ve heard one of the popular kids at school say 2 like this. So what do you do? Do you just give in (让步) and do what the other kids suggest, or do you go to class no matter what they say?
3 like this often come up. And it is not easy to make your own 4 when your friends want to do something you’re not quite sure about. Sometimes, you feel you should do something 5 everyone else is doing it. This is called “peer pressure (同辈压力)”.
Some people give in to peer pressure because they want to be more popular. Some worry that others will 6 them if they don’t go along with the group. The idea that “everyone is doing it” makes them follow the 7 . Sometimes peer pressure can be good if your peers encourage you to be a better person. But most peer pressure pushes you to do something you don’t 8 want to do. So what can you do to deal with it? You should follow your own feelings and beliefs and be self-confident (自信的). When you are self-confident, you can say 9 to the people trying to pressure you. It also helps to have a good friend who respects (尊重) your beliefs. That way you won’t be 10 when you are trying to fight against peer pressure.

Parenting is never an easy job. I realized my 1 too late. When my son turned thirteen, I gave him a smartphone without any boundaries. At that time, I thought it showed trust. Yet, it soon became a reason for 2 between us. My son, once a(n) 3 boy who loved playing basketball began to 4 himself in his digital world. His room became a quiet place, and the light of the screen was his only friend.
Our relationship, once full of laughter, was now 5 by endless arguments. Every time I mentioned “screen time”, he would get angry. I felt like I was losing him to a machine. Wanting to find a solution (解决方案) badly, I 6 some experts for help. They told me that simply taking the phone away was not the answer. Instead, I needed to build a connection with him.
The experts suggested a 7 way. For younger children, it is about changing their attention to other hobbies. But for teenagers like my son, it is about learning to be responsible (有责任的) for their own lives. We needed open talks, not just plans. We should make it clear what we should do and should not do in our daily life. More importantly, I had to explain the “why” behind the 8 .
I sat down 9 my son one evening. Instead of shouting, I listened 10 . I shared my thoughts with care. To my surprise, he said that he also felt lost in the endless messages. We decided to make agreements 11 . We made “phone-free zones” in the house, like the dining table.
12 it was not easy at first, we kept our plan. There were hard times. Slowly, the bad feeling began to 13 . My son started going back to the basketball court. We began to talk 14 , not about apps, but about life.

Two boys and two girls were to be found at one of the busiest traffic signals in South Delhi. Cleaning windscreens (汽车挡风玻璃) from car to car with a dirty cloth, they would then ask for some money. Betty saw them daily from her window seat in the car. Every time the 12-year-old girl tried to ask her 1 to give children some money, they would 2 her. “By giving them money, you are 3 them to beg (乞讨). They will 4 learn to do anything else,” her mother always said. Betty felt very 5 . She kept wondering 6 she could help the children.
One day, Betty 7 that her father’s company would deal with some old computers. She said, “Daddy, shall we take those computers to the community center? We 8 start a kind of school there. The street children will come because all children are 9 computers. And I have educational software (软件) for kids, which you got for 10 a long time ago. I will be happy to donate it to the center. I will ask my friends to 11 kid magazines and children's educational books.”
Betty’s father said, “I am very 12 to have a daughter like you. You may have all of the 12 computers.” The children at the traffic crossing were overjoyed. They took computers 13 ducks to water.

The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of peer pressure (同伴压力). It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” 5 it is not necessarily true.
For certain individuals, 6 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and 7 their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 8 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 9 the peers.
10 , peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 11 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one.
Although peer pressure is sometimes quite 12 , some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 13 . Instead, people should seriously consider 14 they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 15 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life.

【导语】本文介绍了青少年面临的情感和身体变化问题,建议父母理解孩子感受,避免命令式教育,鼓励孩子自主做事并给予感谢。
1.句意:青少年的一些问题源于他们正在经历的情感和身体变化。
根据“emotional and physical changes”可知,青少年正在“经历”这些变化。go through意为“经历”,符合语境。look through“浏览”、put up“张贴”、set up“设置”,均不符合句意。
2.句意:所以,难怪他们在镜子前花费这么多时间!
根据“so much time”可知,此处指花费时间。主语是“they”(人),spend time是固定搭配。share“分享”、create“创造”、save “节省”均语义不通。
3.句意:青少年很难对这些变化感到开心,而这些变化会影响他们的自我感受。
根据前文提到的“spots breaking out”等负面变化可知,他们“几乎不”高兴。hardly表示否定意义,符合语境。usually“通常”、easily“容易地”、really“真正地”均不符合句意。
4.句意:有时,父母会拿孩子的长相开玩笑,伤害他们十几岁孩子的感情。
根据“making jokes about their looks”可知,这会伤害孩子的“感情”。hurt feelings是固定搭配。problems“问题”、dreams“梦想”、appearances“外貌”均不符合搭配。
5.句意:他们也倾向于很少关注青少年的担忧,认为他们很傻。
根据“pay less attention to teenagers’ worries”可知,父母觉得这些担忧不重要,认为孩子“傻”,故选silly。talented“有才华的”、comfortable“舒服的”、excited“激动的”均语义不通。
6.句意:通过解释别人通常不像我们自己那样关注我们的身体特征,我们可以帮助青少年自我感觉更好。
根据前文解释的目的可知,是为了让孩子感觉“更好”。feel better符合语境。disappointed“失望的”、worried“担心的”、worse“更糟的”,均与帮助孩子的初衷相反。
7.句意:青少年也倾向于避免做自己不喜欢的事情,尤其是在家里帮忙。
根据“doing things they don’t like”及后文“get out of doing chores”可知,他们倾向于“避免”,故选avoid。forget“忘记”、enjoy“享受”、continue“继续”均不符合逻辑。
8.句意:事实上,如果你的孩子能以自己的方式做事,效果会更好。
根据后文“This might seem unbelievable”可知,此处引出的是一个与常识(命令孩子)相反的事实,Actually符合语境。Therefore“因此”、Meanwhile“同时”、Importantly“重要地”均不能很好地呼应后文的“难以置信”。
9.句意:如果你总是命令他们,可以确定下次他们不会主动提供帮助。
根据“if you like ordering them”可知,后果是消极的,他们不会“主动”帮忙。offer to do sth.意为“主动提出做某事”。refuse“拒绝”:will not refuse意为“不拒绝”,即愿意帮忙,与警告语气矛盾;invite“邀请”、mind“介意”均语义不通。
10.句意:永远感谢孩子们的努力,也让他们做喜欢的事情。
根据上下文关于做家务的语境,父母应感谢孩子的“努力”。effort符合语境。courage“勇气”、change“改变”、pride“自豪”,均语义不通。

【导语】本文讲述网络热梗“爱自己,老己”在年轻人中流行,介绍其含义、践行方式、背后的自我意识,同时提醒理性自爱、守住本心的短文。
1.句意:这听起来像是一种温暖随性又有点趣味的和老朋友说话的方式。
结合短语语境是对老友说话交流,talk“交谈、说话”符合;listen倾听、point指向、write书写均和句意搭配不符。
2.句意:但“爱自己,老己”给出了不一样的想法:做自己的后盾。
结合前文总等着别人帮忙,此处倡导自我支撑,supporter支持者、后盾符合;teacher老师、partner伙伴、owner主人贴合不了语境。
3.句意:自我关怀不必很难,也不必花销很大。
后文举例买平价零食、散步等低成本小事,说明不用昂贵,expensive昂贵的符合;difficult难的前文已出现,simple简单、relaxed放松不符合对比逻辑。
4.句意:这些小小的举动不用花太多时间金钱,就能让你心情变好。
买零食、散步、静坐放松都是具体行为举动,action行为、举动符合;object物品、snack零食、word话语不能概括全部事例。
5.句意:年轻人慢慢懂得自身感受很重要,不必总想着取悦他人。
结合不再只渴求被别人爱、重视自我感受,please取悦、讨好符合;save拯救、follow跟随、help帮助和语境不符。
6.句意:这个热词也体现出年轻人自我意识的提升。
此处表达自我意识慢慢兴起变强,rise兴起、提升符合;name名字、idea想法、thought思想无法体现意识进阶的含义。
7.句意:他们不再只渴望被他人喜爱,反而选择先照顾好自己。
前后是反向对比关系,instead反而、取而代之符合;besides此外、however然而、therefore因此衔接逻辑不当。
8.句意:不过,我们也不能做得太过火。
固定搭配go too far表示做得过火、走极端,符合后文提醒不要懒惰自私的警示;deep深、wild放纵、long长久无此固定用法。
9.句意:就算这个热梗有一天会消失,它的精神也会留存下来。
前文对比热梗会消失,精神会保留,stay留存、延续符合;change改变、appear出现、grow成长贴合不了句意。
10.句意:它教会我们善待自己,守住内心的平和。
整篇文章核心是爱自己、善待自我,主语是we对应的反身代词ourselves我们自己符合;others他人、yourselves你们自己、themselves他们自己不匹配。

In many people’s eyes, school life is full of joy. However, it isn’t always as 1 as you think. There still may be some awful things. Bullying (霸凌) is one of them.
Xi Zi was bullied by her 2 when she attended school. Some made fun of her clothes and her weight. Some 3 rumors (谣言) about her and then no one wanted to play with her. From junior high school to college, Xi always remained 4 . Those things kept her from expressing herself.
Luckily, Xi finally found a way to help 5 and others in her situation. She made her experiences into a role-playing board game, The Choice of Transfer Students. Players can choose to be one of the three 6 —the bully, the bullied one or the onlooker (旁观者). They will experience many bullying situations. And their different actions or words will lead to different results. In this way, players see what 7 can do to people. Then they can choose to do the right thing when bullying happens. Xi hoped that speaking out about her experiences would help bullied children to be 8 and heard. “I hope they know that in the face of bullying, we have the ability to 9 ,” said Xi.
Over one third of students aged 13 to 15 have experienced bullying. Among them, those who are left out are more likely to be bullied, 10 students with disabilities. To solve this problem, parents, teachers and schools should all work together to stop bullying in schools.

让运动成为每天做的事情,即“习惯”,应用habit。discussion“讨论”、service“服务”、language“语言”均不符合。
7.句意:许多孩子积极参与其中。
他们“积极地”参加运动会,应用positively。suddenly“突然”、especially“尤其”、openly“公开地”均无法表达参与的热情。

根据后文列举的困难可知,这是在陈述“问题”problems。

根据“focused”可知,专注能提高效率,可以更“快速地”quickly完成作业。
8.句意:Kevin意识到在学业和爱好之间取得平衡并非不可能。
结合前文Kevin成绩进步可知,他“实现”了学习和爱好之间的平衡,所以选achieving“实现”。

文中Kevin寻求老师帮助,困难迎刃而解,所以此处指help“帮助”,其余选项过于消极。

His room became a quiet place, and the light of the screen was his only friend.
Our relationship, once full of laughter, was now 5 by endless arguments. Every time I mentioned “screen time”, he would get angry. I felt like I was losing him to a machine. Wanting to find a solution (解决方案) badly, I 6 some experts for help. They told me that simply taking the phone away was not the answer. Instead, I needed to build a connection with him.
The experts suggested a 7 way. For younger children, it is about changing their attention to other hobbies. But for teenagers like my son, it is about learning to be responsible (有责任的) for their own lives. We needed open talks, not just plans. We should make it clear what we should do and should not do in our daily life. More importantly, I had to explain the “why” behind the 8 .
I sat down 9 my son one evening. Instead of shouting, I listened 10 . I shared my thoughts with care. To my surprise, he said that he also felt lost in the endless messages. We decided to make agreements 11 . We made “phone-free zones” in the house, like the dining table.

6.句意:我迫切想找到解决办法,于是向一些专家求助。
后文提到“some experts for help”,固定搭配ask sb. for help 表示“向某人求助”。asked符合固定搭配;refused(拒绝)、punished(惩罚)、praised(表扬)均与“求助”语境无关。

The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of peer pressure (同伴压力). It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives.

Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 8 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 9 the peers.

Instead, people should seriously consider 14 they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 15 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life.
