I have a good friend. Her name is Judy. I think she gets angry easily. If I sometimes play jokes on her, she will shout at me. Moreover, she is a bit stingy because she never shares anything with me.
What should I do? Can you help me?

Dear Emma,
It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know your friend very well. There may be some reasons behind. I suggest you find out why your friend acts like that.
Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with. How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. But if her friendship is bringing more harm (伤害) than good, then it might be something for you to think about.

“Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jianna. I’m a worker from Beijing...”
Recently, a video of Zhang became popular online. Many people were shocked at her great English and wondered how she had such great English skills. Actually, behind this is a long journey of hard work.
Zhang comes from a village in Hebei Province. In 2012, she got the job as a worker in Chaoyang District, Beijing. One day, she met a foreigner. The foreigner spoke a lot to her. She didn’t know what to do because she couldn’t understand what the foreigner said. Soon, the foreigner found that Zhang didn’t understand his words. So he pointed to the street and gave her a thumbs-up while saying, “Good, good!” Zhang suddenly realized that the foreigner was cheering her for keeping the street clean, but she couldn’t say anything in English by herself.
This unusual experience touched Zhang, and she made up her mind to learn English. Then, Zhang found her children’s textbooks and started her learning journey. However, learning English at an older age was difficult. Zhang had poor memory and would easily forget the words she learned. But she didn’t run away from the challenge. She used all her free time to learn and remember the words over and over again. So far, she has learned around 3000 English words and has been able to communicate well with foreigners. “Learning English is a long journey of hard work,” Zhang said. “It is the key to learning English. Learn step by step and learn every day.”
Now, Zhang’s amazing journey leads to a new goal. She says she wants to introduce her hometown in English to attract more tourists one day.
38. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Zhang’s reason for learning English. B. Zhang’s problems in learning English.
C. Zhang’s learning journey in English. D. Zhang’s ways to learn English herself.
39. What does the underlined word “It” refer to?
A. Good memory. B. Useful communication.
C. Hard work. D. Rich experience.
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Zhang will go on a new journey to other countries.
B. Zhang will become an excellent English teacher.
C. Zhang will go back to her hometown for a job.
D. Zhang will introduce her hometown in English.
41. Which of the following can be used to describe Zhang’s story?

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了北京环卫工人张建娜因一次特殊经历决心学习英语,克服困难坚持学习并能流利交流,且计划用英语介绍家乡的故事。

When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audio books (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audio books have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audio books instead of paper books? Is listening to an audio book just better than reading a paper book?
Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audio books anytime and anywhere you like. As a result, it gives you more freedom.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audio books as much as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audio book while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). The experiment result showed that they remembered the same amount of knowledge, whether they listened to it or read it.
Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience also supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audio books activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audio books, we are often multitasking (同时处理多项任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to keep focused and learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
42. How does the writer introduce the topic?
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories.
C. By asking questions. D. By doing experiments.
43. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. We get more knowledge from audio books than from paper books.
B. We get as much knowledge from audio books as that from paper books.
C. Volunteers in Group One were only asked to read a paper book.
D. The two groups read or listened to two books with different content.
44. What do we know about the experiment of the Journal of Neuroscience?
A. Researchers learned how people’s brains work.
B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time.
C. People need to recollect the information in their brains.
D. Researchers activate people’s body before reading.
45. Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audio books?
A. Because they can listen to audio books later.
B. Because people need to stay focused while reading.
C. Because they can do other tasks at the same time.
D. Because they want to protect their ears.

Dear Hugo,
I have a good friend. Her name is Judy. I think she gets angry easily. If I sometimes play jokes on her, she will shout at me. Moreover, she is a bit stingy because she never shares anything with me.
What should I do? Can you help me?
Emma
Dear Emma,
It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know your friend very well. There may be some reasons behind. I suggest you find out why your friend acts like that.
Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with. How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. But if her friendship is bringing more harm (伤害) than good, then it might be something for you to think about.
Hugo

“Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jianna. I’m a worker from Beijing...”
Recently, a video of Zhang became popular online. Many people were shocked at her great English and wondered how she had such great English skills. Actually, behind this is a long journey of hard work.
Zhang comes from a village in Hebei Province. In 2012, she got the job as a worker in Chaoyang District, Beijing. One day, she met a foreigner. The foreigner spoke a lot to her. She didn’t know what to do because she couldn’t understand what the foreigner said. Soon, the foreigner found that Zhang didn’t understand his words. So he pointed to the street and gave her a thumbs-up while saying, “Good, good!” Zhang suddenly realized that the foreigner was cheering her for keeping the street clean, but she couldn’t say anything in English by herself.
This unusual experience touched Zhang, and she made up her mind to learn English. Then, Zhang found her children’s textbooks and started her learning journey. However, learning English at an older age was difficult. Zhang had poor memory and would easily forget the words she learned. But she didn’t run away from the challenge. She used all her free time to learn and remember the words over and over again. So far, she has learned around 3000 English words and has been able to communicate well with foreigners. “Learning English is a long journey of hard work,” Zhang said. “It is the key to learning English. Learn step by step and learn every day.”
Now, Zhang’s amazing journey leads to a new goal. She says she wants to introduce her hometown in English to attract more tourists one day.
38. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Zhang’s reason for learning English. B. Zhang’s problems in learning English.
C. Zhang’s learning journey in English. D. Zhang’s ways to learn English herself.
39. What does the underlined word “It” refer to?
A. Good memory. B. Useful communication.
C. Hard work. D. Rich experience.
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Zhang will go on a new journey to other countries.
B. Zhang will become an excellent English teacher.
C. Zhang will go back to her hometown for a job.
D. Zhang will introduce her hometown in English.
41. Which of the following can be used to describe Zhang’s story?

C. Many hands make light work. D. Two heads are better than one.
D
When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audio books (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audio books have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audio books instead of paper books? Is listening to an audio book just better than reading a paper book?
Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audio books anytime and anywhere you like. As a result, it gives you more freedom.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audio books as much as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audio book while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). The experiment result showed that they remembered the same amount of knowledge, whether they listened to it or read it.
Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience also supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audio books activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audio books, we are often multitasking (同时处理多项任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to keep focused and learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
42. How does the writer introduce the topic?
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories.
C. By asking questions. D. By doing experiments.
43. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. We get more knowledge from audio books than from paper books.
B. We get as much knowledge from audio books as that from paper books.
C. Volunteers in Group One were only asked to read a paper book.
D. The two groups read or listened to two books with different content.
44. What do we know about the experiment of the Journal of Neuroscience?
A. Researchers learned how people’s brains work.
B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time.
C. People need to recollect the information in their brains.
D. Researchers activate people’s body before reading.
45. Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audio books?
A. Because they can listen to audio books later.
B. Because people need to stay focused while reading.
C. Because they can do other tasks at the same time.
D. Because they want to protect their ears.

Mary took Dicken along the path to the wall with the ivy on it. They unlocked the door and went in together.
“Here it is,” she said. “It’s a secret garden.”
Dicken’s blue eyes opened wide in surprise as he looked at the garden.
“It’s very pretty,” he whispered. “It’s like being in a dream.” For two or three minutes Dicken looked at the garden while Mary watched him.
“In the spring there are going to be loads of birds’ nests here,” he said.
“Are the roses alive or dead?” Mary asked him.
He went up to an old tree and pointed at the branch. It was dry and grey but there was a small green bit growing on it.
“This bit’s alive,” he explained. “But there’s a lot of old wood that is dead, so we must cut it off. There are going to be lots of roses here this summer.”
They went from bush to bush and from tree to tree. Dicken was good at using his knife. He knew how to cut off the dry and dead wood.
“There’s a lot of work to do here,” he said.
“Can you come again and help me?” Mary asked him. ‘Please, Dicken!”
“Yes, every day if you like,” he answered.
