Doesnt that mean you fail?”   

“I already failed,” I answered __19__. “ But now everybody else passes. And they can get their grades, right?”

The Road Less Traveled

Pennsylvania is one of the oldest states in America, and its full of mysterious places! One of those places is an old highway that hasn’t been used for many years.

My dad loves history, and he learned that it was open to the public. So, when I was 14, we took a bike trip to explore this historic road!

My dad chose a 16-mile part of the road for us to ride. It included an old tunnel called Sideling Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!

To prepare, we checked our brakes(刹车) and made sure our bike lights had batteries(电池). My mom made us some sandwiches. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the trunk(后备箱) of the car. Then we set off.

After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. I didn’t think we would be much too hot. But our trip started with a long uphill climb!

As we came near to the Sideling Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!

When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed(回响) through the darkness. The air smelled unpleasant, like wet mud. And I felt like I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but focusing on following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!

Whenever I am going through difficulties in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that my father is always beside me. He turns on the light of hope in my heart. And he gives me courage to keep riding through life’s dark tunnels.

24.Why did the father and son have the bike trip?

A.Because the tunnel was famous.

B.Because they both liked biking.

C.To explore this historic road.

D.To travel to unknown places.

25.What was the weather like that afternoon?

A.Cold. B. Cool. C. Hot. D. Wet.

26.The writer remembers the trip because ________.

A.it was his most scaring experience

B.it was his first time to ride with his father

C.he had an accident when riding through the dark tunnel

D.his fathers encouragement lit the light of hope in his life

C

Get Stressed, Stay Young

For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a long-lasting illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, is bad for our health and should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.

Dr. Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, explains that what he calls “ good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr. Kyriazis says that “ good stress ” can strengthen our natural defenses which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimers, arthritis, and heart problems. He believes that “good stress” can increase the production of the proteins (蛋白质) that help to repair the body’s cells, including brain cells.

According to Dr. Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to a deadline are examples of “good stress”, that is, situations with short-term, low or middle level stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly and efficiently, and gives us a sense of achievement—we did it! However, in both these situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells own repair system “ turns on” and it produces proteins which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body’s reaction is greater than what is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.

“As the body gets older, this self-repair function of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr. Kyriazis. “The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives. ” Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as being “ good stress” include redecorating a room in your house over a weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break or programming your DVD player by following the instruction manual(说明书).

So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see that report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don’t worry, just think of it as “ good stress” which will have benefits for your long-term health!

27.Which of the following is bad for your health?

A.Having to work to a deadline sometimes.

B.Having to face a difficult situation for a short time.

C.Having to look after someone who has been ill for a long time.

D.Having to redecorate your room in your house over just a weekend.

28.Which of the following tells the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A.“ Good stress” stops us from getting ill.

B.Young people suffer more from stress than older people.

C.How Dr. Kyriazis becomes so famous an anti-ageing expert.

D.Alzheimers is one of the illnesses many old people suffer from.

29.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Being in traffic jams is good for our health.

B.Situations that produce bad stress are always short-term.

C.People should avoid getting stressed as much as possible.

D.Our bodies need some stress to exercise our self-repair system.

D

In the last 25 years, the populations of monarch butterflies have reduced by hundreds of millions, according to the Wildlife Services Species report. The black and orange butterflies face insecticides (杀虫剂), loss of milkweed—the plant monarchs lay eggs on and the caterpillars only food source, and habitat(栖息地) loss.

City people making a difference

The smaller population led Field Museum researchers in Chicago to ask: What makes a successful city monarch garden? Hasle, an ecologist at the Field Museum, and Karen Klinger, a geographer, are working to answer that question.               Many stops along the monarchs migratory (迁徙) route are taking an all- hands-on-deck way to help out the butterfly, looking for more places where milkweed might grow. “ We think, in one way, cities are providing an important place for a lot of insects,” Hasle said. Although the project is still fairly new, there are already some findings. Unlike some other field work derailed by the COVID-19, the monarch project worked well with more people staying home to watch over their gardens.

According to the weekly reports participants(参与者) sent, more successful gardens had more milkweed and blooming plants or much larger fields. But Klinger said one participant with a single plant watched eggs change all the way to a chrysalis. So, she said, “ You just need one plant. ”

______32______  

In 2020, during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped, even though the number of participants more than doubled.

Chicago saw a hot, dry summer in 2020, which may have affected the health of the milkweed plants. In 2021, the reports out of Mexico noted illegal logging (非法砍伐), as well as trees hit by wind and drought. But they also said spring and summer weather conditions were hard for milkweed blossoms(开花) and egg development in the southern U. S. , which limited reproduction.

Not giving up

Now is the perfect time to start planning to plant some milkweed, Hasle and Klinger said.

“ The best thing to do is what you can do,” Hasle said. “ One milkweed plant in a pot on your window board is doing something. ” “ Probably it gives you something to look forward to during the boring winter in Chicago. ”

30.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A.The life of monarch butterflies.

B.The plant monarchs lay eggs on.

C.The change of monarchs populations.

D.The result of Wildlife Services Species report.

31.The word “derailed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A.completed  B. improved  C. influenced D. reduced

32.Whats the best heading for Paragraph 5 and 6?

A.A great challenge B. Illegal logging

C. A bright future D. Fighting against drought

33.What is the writers purpose in writing this passage?

A.To encourage people to keep more monarchs.

B.To warn people the danger of the loss of milkweed.

C.To advise people to grow more flowers in their gardens.

D.To call on people to provide a better environment for monarchs.

Eating Disorders

An eating disorder is a kind of illness in which a person does not eat in a normal or healthy way.

In the United States, restrictions for COVID-19(新冠管控) are loosening, however eating disorder cases are on the rise. Experts warn that being alone and feeling anxious can increase the harmfulness of eating disorders.

“We are certainly seeing great increases,” said Jennifer Wildes who is an associate psychiatry professor (精神病学副教授) at the University of Chicago Medicine. She told the reporter that some patients are waiting to five months to get mental health treatment and medical cares. Before COVID-19, she added, wait times were usually only a few weeks. Recently, Wildes’ program treats about 100 patients. Before COVID-19, the number of patients was half that number.

Another treatment program for eating disorders at the University of Minnesota is experiencing the same thing. Daily calls to its program from people asking for treatment have doubled. In 2019, there were about 60 calls a day. “ Since COVID-19 began, that number is up to 130 calls a day,” said Jillian Lampert, who is one of the leaders of the program.

Because of COVID-19, some people make themselves eat a lot as a way to deal with the feeling of “ out of control”. Other people are doing the opposite of things. They are taking the message of “ don’t gain COVID - 19 weight” too strictly. They are reducing their meals to the point of anorexia(厌食症). Bulimic (贪食) is also a kind of eating disorder. Bulimic people eat large amount of food and then force themselves to throw it up.

A study of electronic medical records from about 80 U. S. hospitals found a 30 percent increase of eating disorder starting after March 2020, compared with numbers from 2018 and 2019. The leader of the study, Dr. Dave Little said that the COVID pandemic has given society, and in particular young people, a lot of mental health difficulties.

Here are some signs of eating disorder from the U. S. National Eating Disorders Organization.

◎Thinking about weight, body size, and food too much.

◎Seem uneasy eating around others.

◎Restrictions against types of food, for example, bread or sugar.

◎Avoiding usual friends and social activities.

◎Extreme change in mood and behavior.

34. What is an eating disorder?

35. What can increase the harmfulness of eating disorders?

36. How many patients does Wildes’ program treat recently?

37. What are bulimic people like?

38. What do you think of eating disorders? What will you do?

Reading can not only increase my knowledge and experience, but also help build my character.

Everyone has a dream. So do I. My dream is to be a teacher.

When I was a primary student, I was not good at English. Reading and writing are very difficult for me. Luckily, my English teacher encouraged me to be confident and helped me a lot. I practiced reading and writing during the whole year.

Finally, with his help, I did better in English and achieved success. From then on, I made up my mind to be a teacher like him. I hope to influence students in their life, too.

Now I will keep going and try my best to realize my dream.
