Recently, I’ve found many old photos of Mom, Dad, David, me and my first dog Coco. They meant a lot to me. I wondered how to keep them forever. Luckily, my son used a new app to clear up and improve some of the old photos. Looking at them brought back so many loving and happy memories. I even used one as my computer screen saver (屏保).

It is a picture of me sitting in my favorite chair, across from the wood stove (炉子) next to a bookcase full of old books. I am wearing my special Snoopy shirt and hugging Coco. There is a big smile on my face and a joyful shining light in my eyes. It was how I spent a lot of my winter afternoons as a girl, hugging Coco and reading an old book.

It is surprising how 60 years later that girl still lives inside of me. I still love comfortable chairs, warm stoves, Snoopy clothes, hugging dogs and reading books on cold winter days. But when I look in the mirror now, all I see is a thin face, grey hair, and lots of wrinkles (皱纹). The only thing that hasn’t completely changed is the eyes. They are hiding behind glasses now and full of wisdom (智慧) given by ages. But they still have that same joyful shining light.

Looking at the little girl smiling at me from the computer screen and that 66-year-old woman looking back at me in the mirror can be a little bit strange at times. They look so different. However, they are both me. We can’t stop getting older, but we can remain both joyful and young at heart forever.

4. How did the writer’s son deal with the old photos?

A. He threw them away.

B. He improved them with an app.

C. He gave them to his family members.

D. He used one of them as a screen saver.

5. What can we learn about the writer’s memories of her family?

A. They were mostly sad.

B. They were happy and sweet.

C. They were too painful to recall.

D. They were all forgotten over time.

6. What has changed about the writer over time?

A. She no longer likes to read.

B. She looks less joyful than before.

C She is no longer young but wise.

D. There is no light in her eyes any more.

7. Which word describes the writer’s feeling towards getting older?

A. Sad. B. Excited. C. Accepting. D. Unbelieving.

C

Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.

One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.

Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.

It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world.

In fact traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.

Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.

There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.

8. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?

A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples.

C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene.

9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Traveling alone. B. Inner strength.

C. Outside influence. D. Traveling with others.

10. Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ________.

A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better

C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety

11. What’s the structure of the passage?

(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2… )

A.  B.  C.  D.

D

Chinese, Japanese and Korean all have simpler number words. They express math concepts (概念) more clearly than English. The language difference has drawn lots of attention. Several recent studies have connected weaker math abilities of English-speaking children with English number words.

Chinese, for example, has just ten basic number words. English, however, has more than two dozen (一打). The trouble starts at 11. English has a word (eleven) for that number. Chinese, Japanese and Korean have words that can be translated as ten-one—spoken with the ten first. That makes it easier for these children to understand the place value (位值). And the students can easily see the number system comes from units of 10.

English number words over 10 don’t make the place value clear. Words for numbers 13 to 19 change the order of the ones and tens. Children often mix 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English number words have a harder time doing difficult calculations (运算). They make more mistakes.

It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the make-a-ten method. When adding two numbers, Chinese students often break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For example, 9+5 becomes 9+1+4. This method greatly helps students work out math problems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the make-a-ten method. However, they are still having trouble because of the unclear and difficult English number words.

Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother language, all the math problems have become clearer and less difficult.

12. Several recent studies have found a connection between English number words and ________.

A. weaker math abilities of young learners of English

B. weaker math abilities of English-speaking children

C. stronger math abilities of young learners of English

D. stronger math abilities of English-speaking children

13. How many basic number words are there in English?

A. Ten. B. Eleven.

C. More than a dozen. D. More than two dozen.

14. If you use the make-a-ten method, what will 8+7 become?

A. 6+2+7 B. 7+1+7 C. 8+1+6 D. 8+2+5

15. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Why some Asian languages can make math learning easier.

B. Why some Asian languages are easier than English.

C. How Asian children do basic calculations within ten.

D. How children’s math abilities are judged in different countries.
