A first grade teacher from Suffolk, Virginia found a way to teach her students about black history by taking them back in time to meet celebrated black figures. For each day of Black History Month, LaToya McGriff has dressed up like a famous African-American pioneer and taught her students about their significant contributions to the U.S.

On Monday, February 3, she dressed up as Virginian native Mary Jackson and began her creative class. “She was a mathematician who worked as an aeronautical (航空的) engineer whom people referred to as a human computer,” McGriff wrote on Facebook. She shared a photo of herself in 1960s clothing, like Jackson would have worn when she worked for NASA.

Jackson was one of the three “human computers” described in the book and film Hidden Figures, which revealed the African-American female mathematicians whose efforts helped put men on the moon.

Once McGriff started dressing up, she kept going. By February 18, McGriff's Black History Month lessons were starting to gain attention online. She was interviewed by CBS News, and said she works at a majority-black school and “wanted students to see that people who look like them contribute”.

She said that the seeds for this project were planted in her years ago by a teacher who did something similar. “That’s what I remember, having a teacher come dressed as a storybook character. Well, I could dress up as a different figure, an African-American figure from the past or present so they can see themselves represented,” McGriff said.

“My students will want to know who I will be tomorrow. Today, they just said ‘Are you going to be so-and-so?’ Because they want to know and kind of prepare themselves for it so that they can tell me something they know about the person,” she said.

McGriff said bringing history alive kept her students curious and asking questions, and she’s hoping the overall project will give them the confidence to know that, like these historic figures, they can be great, too.

4. What can we learn about LaToya McGriff from the text?

A. Her students are all black.

B. She is a primary school teacher.

C. Her lessons receive little attention online.

D. She posted a 1960s-style photo of Mary Jackson on Facebook.

5. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. The result of McGriff's project.

B. McGriff’s reflections on teaching.

C. How McGriff came up with this teaching method.

D. Why McGriff’s students can see themselves represented.

6. How are her students according to McGriff’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A. They have a lot of energy and determination.

B. They have a strong desire to know about something.

C. They give serious attention to what is quite challenging.

D. They show the ability to invent and develop original ideas.

7. Why is McGriff carrying out the project?

A. To help her students get high grades.

B. To introduce African history to her students.

C. To stress big figures’ contributions to the US.

D. To encourage her students to trust themselves to do better.

C

The end of a semester can be a challenging time for students. Kids from elementary school through high school are already stressed after more than a year of C0VID-19 disrupted learning. Pressing through the last few weeks of a semester can be discouraging, especially for older students with demanding final projects and exams.

“Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades.

Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”.

In addition, peer support programs can also play an important role in teaching skills for stress management and wellness. “Teens will talk to other teens, especially when they feel they are in a brave space built on trust,” Katie Hurley, a psychotherapist says.

Some children may arrive at the finish line exhausted and needing sleep. Or perhaps they are eager to celebrate the holidays with all the usual fanfare. Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends. Her holiday plan apparently reflects that. “It is the most important thing they need right now,” she says. “Our children need to know that they are not alone.”

8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. Children are struggling in study in the present situation.

B. Children’s focusing on grades makes them stay stuck in learning.

C. Parents stay stuck in making their children live to work out.

D. Parents’ fear about children getting stuck in study is unnecessary.

9. Why does the author mention Madeline Levine?

A. To ask parents to stay calm before their kids.

B To show the necessity of talking to kids before tests.

C. To make parents let go of their kids during COVID-19.

D. To stress the importance of the help from the experts.

10. What does “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Staying with kids in holidays. B. Respecting the needs of kids.

C. Helping kids celebrate holidays. D. Keeping exhausted kids happy.

11. What does the author want to show?

A. Parents should help kids to prepare their tests.

B. Parents should keep a closer eyes on kids study.

C. Parents should connect their kids more with nature.

D. Parents should let kids take a break from school stress.

D

Exercise and a healthy diet in childhood leads to adults with bigger brains and lower levels of anxiety, according to a new research in mice.

Though diet and exercise are consistently recommended as ways to promote health, this study is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life.

The researchers determined that early-life exercise generally reduced anxious behaviors in adults. It also led to an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed “Western” style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy foods.

These findings have recently been published in the journal Physiology and Behavior. To obtain them, the researchers divided the young mice into four groups - those with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those that ate a Western diet.

Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning (断奶), and continued on them for three weeks, until they reached physical maturity. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without motion and on the healthy diet, the researchers did behavioral analysis and various measurements.

One of those they measured, leptin, is produced by fat cells. It helps control body weight primarily by lowering the sensation of hunger and also by increasing energy consumption. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels as well as fat mass in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate.

Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome (肠道菌群) for life, even if they later eat more healthily. Going forward, the team plans to investigate whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.

Together, both studies offer critical opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits. The findings may be relevant for understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with fatness.

12. What is unique about the new study?

A. It involves adults' eating behavior. B. It shows key elements for a long life.

C. It stresses separate impacts of exercise and diet. D. It highlights joint effects of early exercise and diet.

13. How did the researchers get the study results?

A. By trial and error. B. By previous experience.

C. By experimenting on grouped mice. D. By comparing mice with human beings.

14. What is the main function of leptin?

A. It forms fat cells. B. It brings down appetite.

C. It stimulates hunger. D. It limits energy consumption.

15. How does the author look at health interventions in early-life habits?

A. Favorably. B. Critically. C. Indifferently. D. Doubtfully.

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. Mother's Day was approaching, and he usually tried to make it "back home", but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do, I'll send my mother some roses."

He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to the salesgirl in it. "How many roses can I get for five dollars. Ms.?" the boy asked.The salesgirl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.

"No I have to have roses," he said. "my mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite." He was stubborn.

The salesgirl in the shop looked up at Eric and was still shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运) in his business, and he winked at the salesgirl and silently said that he would pay for the boys roses.

The salesgirl looked at the boy and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars." The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the salesgirl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地).

46.【答案】Dear Mr. Smith,

    I’m writing to ask for your help. Our school is planning to hold an event called English Reading Month, in which we are required to read and English book and take notes.

    I hope you can recommend an English book to me. Considering I’m not an advanced English learner, the book needs to be suitable for my level. It will be better if the book is about the life of teenagers. Meanwhile, I also feel confused about taking notes. Could you offer me some advice?

    I’d appreciate it if you could reply to me soon.

Yours,

Li Hua

47.【答案】Eric pulled in and followed the boy. The boy went up to a small monument, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob, "Dear mom, I love you. But how I regret I didn't tell it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn't I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you? Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret I didn't tell you I love you so much!"

Eric went into the car in tears. His mother's home wasn't far from the place, but he hadn't seen her for too long. He didn't have a talk with her for too long a time and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He started the car and drove up to the flower shop. He asked the salesgirl to give him the flowers directly because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
