Here is some advice for you to be such a person of good character (性格). First, people with a good character do not tell a lie. They always tell the truth and keep their promises. For example, if a child promises his parents to be home on time, he keeps his word, so his parents will trust him next time. Second, being responsible means being glad to take on duties or tasks.

Be kind to others like the way you accept others to treat you.    Finally, caring means treating others with understanding. Caring people are kind and they care about the feelings of others.

When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.” “Don’t you call these things letters of recommendation?

Small in size, he didn’t stand out at first glance—until someone noticed his prosthetic (假体的) leg. Born in 2013 in Xinjiang, China, Memettursunjan came into the world missing part of his right leg. As a child, he often stood by the window, watching other children run and play. “Walking with a prosthetic leg was difficult, so I usually stayed at home,” he explained. Everything changed when Memettursunjan was six. He watched a video of NBA star Stephen Curry, who wasn’t the tallest or the strongest player, but was fearless and skillful. The video deeply inspired him. However, the basketball court was ruthless (无情的). “I couldn’t beat anyone.” Memettursunjan recalled. “I even thought about giving up.” But he didn’t. “I cried at night, but the next morning, I told myself, real men don’t quit.” He hung a simple basketball hoop (篮球筐) on a tree outside his home and practiced for hours every day. He learned to play smarter: if he couldn’t run faster than others, he could focus on improving his skills; if he couldn’t jump high, he could pass the ball extremely well.His hard work paid off. He got into the school team—not because of others’ pity for him, but because of his perseverance (坚持) and skill. Now, Memettursunjan has found not only confidence but also friendship. “Basketball gives me something more than a game,” he said. “It has helped me find myself.” 1．How did the writer start the passage? A．By describing a scene.B．By comparing two people.C．By introducing a problem.2．What did Memettursunjan usually do when he was a child? A．Climbed a mountain.B．Stayed by the window.C．Watched videos.3．When did Memettursunjan get interested in basketball? A．In 2015.B．In 2017.C．In 2019.4．What was the key to his improvement? A．Focusing on improving skills.B．Practicing jumping higher.C．Getting a new prosthetic leg.5．Which saying best describes Memettursunjan’s story? A．Time is money.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.Zhang Haojie, an outstanding student from Dazhou, Sichuan, has long been known not only for his academic excellence but also for his consistent acts of kindness that reflect profound personal growth. On a crisp autumn afternoon last October, as Zhang was rushing to school after picking up reference books at the city library, he noticed an elderly woman standing hesitantly at a busy crossroads. The old woman, who carried a heavy woven basket filled with vegetables, appeared disoriented (迷失方向的) by the chaotic traffic and the newly installed pedestrian signals. Without hesitation, Zhang slowed his pace and approached her. “Grandma, would you like me to help you cross the road?” he asked gently. After receiving her grateful nod, he took the basket from her hands and guided her step by step, keeping a watchful eye on the passing cars. It took nearly three minutes to navigate (顺利通过) the wide intersection, during which Zhang adjusted his speed repeatedly to match the old woman’s unsteady steps. What made this seemingly ordinary act extraordinary was Zhang’s own struggle that day. He had stayed up late the previous night preparing for a crucial physics mock exam (模拟考试), and he was already running 10 minutes behind schedule. Choosing to help the grandmother meant he would likely miss the exam’s opening remarks and lose valuable preparation time. However, later in an interview with the school newspaper, Zhang said, “I used to prioritize my own tasks above everything else, fearing any delay would ruin my plans. But that day, I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone to care for others is a more meaningful way to push myself beyond limits.” His selfless action did not go unnoticed. A passerby captured the scene on video, which quickly spread on local social media. Many citizens praised Zhang for balancing his personal goals with compassion, noting that his act embodied (体现) the true spirit of youth excellence. 1．Why was the elderly woman hesitant at the crossroads? A．She lost her way to the market. B．She was confused by the traffic situation. C．She was waiting for someone to help her carry the basket. D．She was too tired to walk across the road. 2．What made Zhang Haojie’s action special on that day? A．He was in a hurry to attend an important exam. B．He had just finished a physics competition. C．He was carrying heavy reference books for the exam. D．He was late for a meeting with his teacher. 3．According to the passage, what change did Zhang experience? A．He became more focused on his academic performance. B．He learned to balance his own needs with caring for others. C．He started to share his study methods with classmates. D．He realized the importance of being on time for exams. 4．Which of the following is true about the video? A．It was filmed by Zhang’s classmate. B．It was taken when Zhang was leaving school. C．It made Zhang famous nationwide overnight. D．It received positive comments from local netizens. 5．What is the main message of the passage? A．Academic excellence is the only standard for outstanding students. B．Helping others always leads to unexpected popularity. C．True excellence includes both personal growth and kindness. D．It is important to put one’s own tasks first in daily life. Liu Zhi, a senior high school student living in Dazhou, bears heavy family responsibilities beyond his age. His elderly parents are in poor health and lack stable income to cover daily expenses (费用) and his schooling fees. Determined to ease the family’s financial burden (经济负担) instead of dropping out of school, he comes up with a practical idea.

He sorts these wastes carefully and sells them to a recycling station for pocket money to share household costs.

On the contrary, he keeps sticking to his lessons and maintains satisfying grades. The headmaster accidentally finds out about Liu’s story months later. Deeply moved by his filial piety and perseverance, the principal praises him publicly and arranges a part-time campus helper post for him to get more stable earnings without affecting study.

They set off from the urban area of Guyuan in the early morning, walking 108 li (54 kilometers) to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (烈士陵园) in Pengyang County to remember revolutionary martyrs. This meaningful activity has been held for 31 years since 1995. The hiking road is rough and difficult. Students have to climb over Huangmao Mountain, walking on winding mountain paths. The whole round trip takes about 14 to 16 hours, from before dawn to dark. It is a big test of students’ physical strength and willpower. During the long walk, students help and encourage each other. Although they feel tired with sore legs and painful feet, no one gives up easily. This is not just a common outdoor activity, but a “walking ideological and political class”. Before the hiking, schools will train students’ physical fitness and tell the students the history of the Renshanhe Battle (战役). In 1949, the Renshanhe Battle was the first battle to liberate Ningxia. Hundreds of soldiers lost their lives here and were buried in Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery.When students arrive at the cemetery, they hold simple memorial ceremonies. They observe a moment of silence, present flowers and clean the tombs for the martyrs. Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism. Teachers say this activity helps students grow up and develop a strong will. Over the past 31 years, more than 30,000 students have taken part in this hiking trip, passing on the red spirit from generation to generation. 1．What is the end point of the hiking trip?

On a freezing December day in Tongxin County, Ningxia, the quiet winter air was suddenly broken by screams—a 4-year-old boy had fallen through the ice into the icy lake! People rushed to the edge, hearts sinking, but no one dared step onto the cracking surface. At that critical moment, 13-year-old Li Jiating, a seventh-grade student, stepped forward bravely. “I’m light—I’ll go!” she said. She took a long pipe handed to her by a bystander (旁观者) and crawled carefully toward the ice hole. As she reached out to give the pipe to the boy, the ice broke again. Both she and the boy fell into the freezing water. But Li Jiating didn’t let go. She held tightly onto the pipe until adults on the shore pulled her out. Soon after, firefighters arrived and rescued the boy. Soaked (浸湿) and shivering, Li Jiating quietly rode her bike home without saying a word. Her father asked about her wet clothes, and she smiled and “lied”: “A water truck splashed (泼洒) me!” It wasn’t until 11 that night, when her father’s sister called, that the father learned the truth. “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness,” he said. The boy’s parents were very grateful. They posted messages to find the “unknown hero” and visited Li Jiating with gifts and money. Though Li Jiating refused the money, they left fruits and a sheep. “This is our sincere thanks,” the boy’s father said. Many honors came to her. Her school named her “A Good Youth with Courage and Kindness”. The county government gave her a prize, and the hospital offered her free physical exams for life. Alibaba also gave her a 5,000-yuan award. Li Jiating’s story is like a beam of light. We praise her kindness, but we also need to teach minors (未成年人) to stay safe while helping others.

Everyone jumped up, looking at Ms. Parker. “Stay calm. Leave everything and line up at the door,” Ms. Parker said calmly. As they walked outside, Daniel said to his friend Mike in a low voice, “I hadn’t finished question 10 yet. I was so close!” “Me too! I only had two questions left,” Mike replied worriedly. They stood on the playground for twenty minutes. Finally, the headmaster announced, “False alarm (误报). Please go back to class.” Back to the classroom, Ms. Parker looked at the test papers on the desks. “Well, this is unusual,” she said. “Here’s what we’ll do. If you haven’t finished, you can have five more minutes. Those who have already finished may hand in their papers now.” “Wait,” said Sarah, raising her hand. She had already finished before the alarm. “________” Everyone turned to look at her. “Why not?” asked Ms. Parker, truly interested. “I finished on time, so I don’t get those five minutes. But the students who didn’t finish get extra (额外的) time? That doesn’t seem right,” Sarah said. “If they get more time to finish their tests, we should get more time to check our answers.” The classroom went quiet. Ms. Parker thought for a moment, then nodded. “You’re right, Sarah. Fairness means everyone gets the same chance. If some get extra time, all should get extra time.” She looked around the classroom. “So here’s my new decision. Everyone gets five more minutes. Use the time to finish or to check your work.” Daniel’s face lit up. “Great!” But then Ms. Parker added, “However, I want you to think about something. Sarah could have kept quiet. She could have let you get extra time while she got nothing. But she spoke up for fairness—for everyone, not just for herself.” “Okay, five minutes start now,” Ms. Parker said. “Use them well.” 1．What can we learn about Daniel and Mike at the beginning of the story?
