Paul O'Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozens of Paul O'Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.
As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O'Sullivans who accepted his invitation, he noticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they'd like to form a band called The Paul O'Sullivans. They all agreed.
Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome. Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul, a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.
The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,” in March 2016. But just months after the song's release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn't press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.
Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,” which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.
“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great,” says Baltimore Paul.
“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”

Everyone needs it, but no one wants to ask for it. “Help” has become a sort of dirty word, implying weakness and neediness, that we can't handle our problems on our own. However, whether it is for your physical, mental or academic health, getting words of advice or encouragement from an outside-source can make all the difference.
During a time of such uncertainty, the frequency of people requesting help for anxiety and depression has increased. The current situation has made people realize that asking for help from professionals is the best way to get their problems off their chests and their minds on the road to wellness.
Still, requesting help carries a societal weight. The British Psychology Soeiety found that two types of stigmas(耻辱) exist: public stigma and self stigma. A “public stigma” is external, a collection of beliefs from around us, which holds a heavy weight on our ideas on seeking help. A “self stigma” is internal, assigning ourselves labels based on our state of mental health, claiming we are worthless and undeserving of help. “Public” and “self” stigmas go hand in hand, and when we hear the stigmas being voiced by those around us, we tend to apply them to ourselves because of socıal influences.
To be our better selves, we have to break the stigma around “help” and accept the fact that some problems are too ought to overcome on our own. If we fail elevant necessity of getting ourselves ’assistance in times of need. Despite what society may tell us, it’s not odd or wrong get help—it's probably one of the most insightful and courageous things we can do for ourselves. Each one of us should be able to openly admit that we need help. Sometimes we need support, and that isn't bad—'s healthy, and remarkably brave.
8、Why is “help” considered a dirty word?
A. It has bad impacts on our health.
B. It makes us confused by an outside source.
C. It prevents us from handling our problems.
D. It implies our inability to solve problems alone.
9、What can we know about two types of stigmas according to Paragraph 3?
A. We can't ignore the two stigmas.
B. Public stigma weighs over self stigma.
C. We are easily affected by public stigma.
D. The two stigmas are based on mental health.
10、What is the benefit of breaking the stigma around “help”?
A. Improving ourselves. B. Becoming more confident.
C. Overcoming problems by ourselves. D. Facing problems bravely.
11、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Help: A Dirty Word B. Help: Feel Free to Seek It
C. Help: A Way to Better Us D. Help: Keep a Distance from It
Are you a good judge of character? Can you make an accurate judgement of someone's personality based only on your first impression of them? Interestingly, the answer lies as much in them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927. His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups—good judges of themselves and good judges of others. Adams's research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn't entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.
More on that in a moment, but first we need to define what a good judge of character is. Is it someone who can read personality or someone who can read emotion? Those are two different skills. Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs, even in a stranger. As such, most of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and that person needs to be a “good target”. “Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality. So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”. This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality” “We found consistent, clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist”, Rogers and Biesanz concluded. But their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception—they are simply able to“detect and use the information provided by the good target”.
So, are first impressions really accurate? Well, if you're a good judge talking to a “good target”, then it seems the answer is “yes”. And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they read personality, what kind of people they are—and whether their skills can be taught.
12、What can we learn about Adams from Paragraph 2?
A. He is a good judge of character.
B. He divided psychologists into two groups.
C. His research result has been widely accepted.
D. His research on good judges was partially right.
13、What does the author think of emotion reading?
A. Annoying. B. Joyful. C. Simple. D. Strange.
14、Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with?
A. A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B. A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.
C. A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D. A good judge uses the information given by a good target simply.
15、What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. The skills of good judges. B. The features of good judges.
C. The ways to read personality. D. The accuracy of first impressions.

16、Four Tips to Improve Your English Vocabulary
Learning vocabulary is a big part of learning a language. The more English words you learn, the better you can communicate your needs, ideas, thoughts and feelings to others in English. ①_____ Here are four tips for better vocabulary learning.
●Write down new words.
It's a really good idea to write down useful new vocabulary. ②_____ Plus, lots of people learn better when they see things written on paper, rather than just hearing them.
●Revise new vocabulary regularly.
So, you've got an English notebook full of useful vocabulary to remember. But did you know that if you don't look again at the new words and phrases, you only remember on average 20-25 per cent of them? ③_____
So make five minutes each day to revise your English vocabulary. The more you look backwards, the faster you go forwards!
●Learn from context.
“Context” means the text that comes before and after a particular word. ④_____ It helps you guess the meaning of words you don't know, it shows you how a word is used in a sentence, and it helps you remember the word for longer.
This means learning vocabulary by reading and listening is more effective than trying to study word lists. It also means that it's better to make a note of how a word is used in a sentence, rather than just the word on its own.
●⑤_____
Researchers have found that you need to see or hear a word on average ten times to remember it. But you learn it much faster when you're actively using a word.
So, besides getting as much exposure to English as you can, take every opportunity to communicate in English with other people.
A. Use it or lose it!
B. See or hear a word more times.
C. New words are usually hard to remember.
D. That's a shocking waste of time and effort!
E. It also refers to the situation in which a word is used.
F .The act of writing the words helps you remember them better.
G. So what can you do to build your English vocabulary quickly and effectively?

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Not too long ago, I was at the grocery store(杂货店), and an elderly man in front of me was using a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) card—what we used to call food stamps. The card reader -kept rejecting his payment. He had apparently gone over his limit for the month. He was confused about how it had happened and more than a little distressed about the situation. While I was trying to decide if the man would be offended or grateful if I offered to step in and pay the difference(支付差额), the young man checking him out(who looked to still be in high school)said, “Sir, this happens all the time. It's not a problem. I bet we can figure out a solution together.”
The line behind us was growing long, but the young man didn't show an ounce of impatience or anger. He confirmed that the man was, indeed, over his limit for the month and found the amount of the overage. Turned out, he wasn't over by much, so the checker helped the customer determine which two or three items that he could make do without until his account was replenished(重新装满). “You’ll definitely want to keep the milk and the butter and the eggs and the bread,” I remember him saying as he looked through the already bagged groceries. Then the clerk, who had clearly done this before, pulled out a jar of salsa, a bottle of juice and some crackers that he and his customer agreed could wait until the beginning of the new month. The young man assured his older customer, once again, that this was a common occurrence and not a problem at all. The man left with his dignity intact(完好无损) and, no doubt, with a renewed sense of loyalty to that grocery-store chain.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When it was my turn, I told the young man that he had done an extraordinary job.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I got home, I sent an e-mail to the manager of the store.

Dear Chris,
Glad to hear from you! I'm also thrilled to know Tai Chi has been included in the UNESCO List of ICH, which means this unique martial art gets global recognition.
Having been practiced for centuries, Tai Chi combines profound principles, martial art techniques, slow movements, deep breathing and meditation, representing the traditional Chinese philosophy-harmony. It is the cultivation of one's internal energy, mind and the physical body that makes it so unique and challenging.
To generate relaxation, Tai Chi practice requires a deep level of concentration and a focused mind, thus allowing the mind to lead and guide the body's energy. Tai Chi is not only a martial art, but is also widely acknowledged as an effective health exercise. Therefore, I strongly recommend you have a go since you are fascinated by it!
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
34、答案:
When it was my turn, I told the young man that he had done an extraordinary job. The young man just smiled without stopping what he was doing and said, "That's not a problem at all." I looked at this man, whose face reddened but words revealed confidence. The composure he showed when facing the embarrassed old man surprised me, and what he did and said touched me deeply. His actions were so quick that I checked out instantly. Before walking out of the grocery store, I glanced back at the young man who was still standing there, treating each customer with absolute patience.
When I got home, I sent an e-mail to the manager of the store. In the e-mail, I talked about what I had met that day, and praised the young man's behavior. When I wrote the e-mail, my mind went back to the young man, straight back, warm smile. It was his carefulness and patience that made every customer's heart have a glint of warmth. Suddenly I remembered a high school lesson: To reserve your patience towards everyone and to show kindness to those in need.
