    Birmingham Writers' Group welcomes members from all walks of life from the West Midlands — we're a mixed group, and we always enjoy new views. We'll support each others writing, and provide constructive and critical advice during our group meetings which take a variety of forms. All we require is that our members are regular writers and that they treat each other with respect.
    What we write
    Our current membership features many fiction writers with a little knowledge of poetry for good measure, but we're open to non-fiction writers too; fiction with a small length is the work of choice, but we also cover radio plays and screenplays. We do ask any material read out at our meetings should be suitable for diverse audiences. Furthermore, we welcome second language writing but we're not equipped to teach writing if you're only just starting out.
    When we meet
    We generally meet twice monthly. After the official meetings, some members might go to a nearby pub for a chat. We also arrange additional social evenings elsewhere. Because we're a private group with no external funding, we have to rely on some membership fees. However, you may attend two meetings at no charge to determine whether the group is suitable for you. A per-meeting attendance fee of £5 is asked when you attend a third meeting.
    So if you like what you've read here, please contact us and we'll let you know when the next meeting will be and how to join. We do not wish to miss potential members out; welcome to talk to us if you have difficulty participating.
21.What kind of writing does Birmingham Writers' Group prefer?
A.Original plays. B.Works in foreign languages.
C.Short stories. D.Poems for diverse audiences.
22.What do we know about the meeting?
A.It is held in pubs. B.It offers any material.
C.It is a monthly event. D.It provides free trials.
23.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a group. B.To find new members for a group.
C.To call for contributions to a group. D.To advertise a group meeting of writers.

    Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if those weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
    After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job to wait tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
    Jason Swencki's son Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over the world," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."
    Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
    These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight It has raised about $ 23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
    Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job to wait tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know to say people need help now."
24. From the passage, what do we know about Christopher Thomas?
A. He needs to go to the doctor every day. B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C. He has a positive attitude to this disease. D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
25. What was the purpose of diabeticrockstar.com?
A. To help diabetics communicate with each other.
B. To help volunteers find jobs.
C. To amuse diabetics.
D. To share Rockstar's resources.
26. What can we learn about Fight It?
A. It helps the diabetics with financial difficulties.
B. It organizes parties for volunteers once a year.
C. It offers less expensive medicines to diabetics.
D. It owns a well-known medical website.
27. What can we know about Thomas in the last paragraph?
A. He works full-time in a diabetes charity. B. He employs 22 people for his website.
C. He helps diabetics in his own way. D. Thomas tries to find a cure for diabetes.

    The Chong Yang Festival has a history of over 2.000 years. It comes on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, so it is called the Double Ninth Festival.
    There are many kinds of activities on the Chong Yang Festival. It is a time when it’s getting cold,so Chinese people make the festival a time for sending winter clothes for the dead family members. Because autumn has a clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb a mountain. Climbing a mountain has been the tradition of the Chong Yang Festival since the Western Han Dynasty. Also, it is good for our health. On the Chong Yang Festival,people also eat Chong Yang cakes,enjoy chrysanthemum(菊花) flowers, an(i drink chrysanthemum wine.
    Today, the Chong Yang Festival has got its new meaning —a day for showing respect to the old. On the festival day, people show their respect, care and love to old people, and they also do lots of things to help the old. Many parks, communities and organizations plan the activities for old people, such as an autumn trip, singing songs or sending presents to them. We hope the old are happy and stay healthy by taking part in these activities. Many young people accompany(陪伴) the old on outings,or make some delicious food for them.

    Getting hit on the head can cause a serious injury. Sometimes, even if a person feels okay, they may have a brain injury called a concussion(脑震荡). Even a good doctor can have trouble telling if a person has a concussion or not. And if a person is not careful and gets hurt again while they have a concussion, the problems can be even worse. Now Neurology researchers at the University of Pennsylvania think they may have found a solution—an easy-to-use two-minute reading test that can assess(评估) the possibility that a concussion has occurred.
   The test was originally designed to test reading skills in children, but it also catches problems with vision and eye movements, which makes it useful for studying concussions. The test consists of a series of numbers arranged in zigzagging(锯齿) patterns on cards, which children read from left to right as quickly as possible. The Pennsylvania researchers tried out the test on boxers and martial(武术)arts fighters in a study earlier this year and found it worked well as a predictor of head injury.
    The researchers gave the fighters the test before and after a match. Typically people can complete the test faster the more times they take it, says Laura Balcer, a lead author of the study. But the athletes who had experienced head injury during their fights read the cards more than 11 seconds slower when they took the test a second time. Fighters who had a concussion read the cards especially poorly, worsening by 18 seconds on average.
    Now Balcer and her colleagues are studying the test’s ability to predict concussions in athletes who play football and other rough sports. Their goal is to create an evaluation tool that could serve as an early warning sign for coaches, who would need only the cards and their stopwatch to determine whether a player needs to be sent to a doctor.
32.What can we know about concussion?
A.Concussions can be easily prevented and cured.
B.It’s easy for doctors to test a person’s concussion.
C.Repeated concussions can do great harm to the brain.
D.People who get concussion may lose awareness soon.
33.Who did the Pennsylvania researchers did the test on at first?
A.School children. B.Football coaches.
C.Rough sports players. D.Boxers and martial arts fighters.
34.How did the researchers conduct the test for a concussion?
A.By making comparison. B.By giving an example.
C.By interviewing some fighters. D.By watching the players’ matches.
35.What is the aim of the test by Balcer and her colleagues?
A.To help children improve their reading skills.
B.To help doctors tell if a person has a concussion.
C.To help the athletes develop their potential ability.
D.To help coaches identify a concussion at the scene.

How to think outside the box
Being open to dissenting(持异议的) opinions is not the only way to think outside the box. 36
A break in our everyday life may provide the force needed to shift the direction of our thinking. So we can change environments. 37 For example, reorganizing our desk or taking a new route to work. However, for others, bigger changes such as a new job or a marriage are required.
A famous concept is approaching routine situations as if we met or saw them for the first time. In other words, we should look at them as if we'd never seen them. 38 For instance, when we brush our teeth, take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if we never laid eyes on such an object and noticed its color and shape. Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how our mouth feels as we move the brush back and forth.
39 The mere presence of a group of people with diverse experiences, views and backgrounds in our everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change. Why? Because they are key drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.
Unlike negative emotions(情感) that cause specific reactions (for example, fear drives us to flee) , positive emotions help us broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. 40 They can be those that are going well or for which we are grateful. This shifting-into-positivity process will automatically brighten our mood — and free our brain.
A. It's also helpful to seek for the difference.
B. For some people, small changes might work.
C. We should show respect for different cultures too.
D. Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think.
E. Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life.
F. Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking.
G. “Beginners mind” allows us to remain open to experiences despite any knowledge we may have.

Kitty was a 6-year-old girl. Her mum got a new job and sometimes she had to work on Saturdays. So, it was usually her dad that took care of Kitty and her older brother, Daniel, on weekends. They always had fun with Dad. This Saturday morning, Mum said，"There's plenty of salad in the fridge for lunch, and I want you to eat it up." The children groaned（抱怨）. "Rabbit food，" said Daniel. "I don't want to eat silly salad，" said Kitty. "Can't we have something else？" they asked.
But Mum had become very eager for the kids to eat healthy food. She said，"It's good for you all-but if you want something hot to go with it, Dad can cook you some rice. But remember, NO biscuits." They groaned even more loudly. But Mum took no notice and left.
Dad said，"Better do as we're told, kids." Kitty stuck out her teeth, held two fingers above her head like ears and jumped around." I'll turn into a rabbit if I eat any more lettuce（生菜），Dad！"she said, He laughed and sent them out into the garden to play while he did the washing.
The morning passed quickly. When Daniel and Kitty came home, they were surprised to see a man sitting at the kitchen table with Dad. Dad told the children that was an old friend he hadn't seen for years. The man, whose name was Bill, suggested they get fish and chips for lunch. The children jumped up and down, screaming with joy. Dad hesitated.

第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Allen,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese traditional culture, I’d like to invite you to spend the Spring Festival with my family.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Before the coming of the Spring Festival, people clean the house and then post Spring Festival couplets on the doors and decorate windows with red papercuts. On the eve of New Year, families get together and have a big dinner. On New Year’s Day people put on their new clothes. Children will get lucky money from their parents, which can make them very happy.
I hope you can join us. Looking forward to seeing you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
When Mum came back, everything was in order. Dad and Daniel were watching a film on television, and Kitty was wheeling up and down the hall on her old baby tricycle. Mum kissed her." Hello, love, have you had a lovely day?" Kitty nodded, but she started to feel a bit guilty." And it wasn't so bad to have salad for lunch, was it?" asked Mum. Looking at her Mum, Kitty felt her face burning. She couldn't tell lies-that would be terrible. So she told Mum what had happened.
Mum walked to Dad and Daniel, a little smile showing at the corners of her mouth. "Well, was it good to have fish and chips?" she asked, standing in between Dad and the TV. Guilty and speechless, Dad looked at Kitty." Don't be angry with me, Dad, "she murmured. Mum saw this, and a big smile broke across her face. "Look at you all!" she said. "Like frightened rabbits! You have been eating too many greens. I went to the market to get a special treat for tonight's supper. I met Bill there and he told me about your lunch. Now, let's make something delicious!"

M: I don’t think I sat down once during that entire game. The two teams were very closely matched.
W: They were, weren’t they? Those three hours just flew by.
Text 3
M: Okay, I think we’re about to take off. Have you ridden roller coasters?

W: Now, Mr. Smith, you’ve just be operated on your stomach. Maybe you want to have a rest lying on the bed or sit still. But the best thing you should do is to get up and walk around right now.
M: OK! I’ll do it, Mrs. Black.

W: I still haven’t seen my luggage come out. It’s a big pink violin case.

W: Excuse me, do you know where the owner of this car is? I seemed to have scratched their car.
M: This red Toyota here? They just left. I think I saw them heading toward the grocery store. Did you back into it carelessly?
W: I opened the door to put my bags in the back, and my shopping cart rolled down the hill into the red Toyota.
M: That’s unfortunate. Too bad that the car wasn’t black like mine. You wouldn’t even be able to see the scratch on my car.
W: I’d better leave them a note, anyway. They can decide whether or not to do anything about it.

W: Please don’t embarrass me at the party tonight.
M: Me, embarrass you? I think I’d never do that.

M: Everybody thought it was funny and interesting.
W: Didn’t you notice the awkward silence in the room when your song ended?
M: No, I didn’t. But I did notice Mike nodding his head and Johnson smiling at me.
W: That’s because they are showing politeness. I hope you hadn’t performed your magic at Lisa’s graduation celebration. You fell into the pool carelessly. Oh! My god!

M: Well, I am thinking about going to Africa instead, and my parents suggested August because they wanted to go with me. So I have time to attend the celebration.
W: Great. It’s been a decade since we left. Besides, John phoned me from his office 5 minutes ago to say that he would go with us.
M: OK! Then let’s book three tickets for New York on July 9th online.
W: But we can’t make it without John’s ID number.
M: I can send a WeChat message to request it. And I think the earlier we reserve them, the easier we choose satisfactory seats.

W: I’m sorry to trouble you, doctor. It’s just that I have been feeling so sick and sleepy these days.
M: Are you getting good sleep these days?
W: Yeah, six to seven hours every night, but it’s not deep sleep. And when I wake up, I have a pain in my legs. I also get headaches very easily.
M: It sounds like you have a lot of stress. And your sleep time should be eight or nine hours if you are working very hard.
W: Yes, I think so. I guess I’m worried too much about my students. In fact, every other day I have to get up as early as 5:00 am. I often dream some scenes where I am busy dealing with schoolwork.
M: You should listen to some light music before going to bed and get more physical exercise to reduce your pressure. And you can chat with your close friends about your work and listen to their advice. Just take it easy.
W: Oh, that’s good advice.
M: And I recommend taking some sleeping pills. You’d better come back in a fortnight and let’s see how that works.
W: Thanks very much.
M: You’re welcome.
