It was Williams’ mother who got her interested in books. Her mother read to her three

     16     every day until they went to college.

When Williams became a     17   , she wanted her students to love reading as she did. But she realized that some kids had no books to read.

“The kids who are read to can learn a lot.” she said. To Williams, the best way was to give kids books. In 2017, she gave away 900 used children’s     18     over three days. Most people would be      19    with that.

“Anybody could do that, ” she said. “I wanted to do something that was going to follow my work ethic (职业道德).” So she set a new     20     for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like a(n)     21     number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don’t complain if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”

So she got to work, first by advising friends to     22     books or money to buy books. And more and more people started     23     books on her front porch (门廊). As the books came in, Williams gave them to local schools for free .

Now, Williams has     24     more than 78,000 books – only 922,000 more to finish her task! And she’s not slowing down. It’s too     25     for kids with few books.

 17. A. teacher B. mother  C. monitor  D. librarian

 18. A. toys B.chairs  C. books D. clothes

 22. A. sell  B. write  C. lend D. donate   

 23. A. getting B. leaving C. sharing D. borrowing

 24. A. given away B. asked for C. picked up D. looked into

I can’t remember if I was 9 or 10 years old, but I do remember that it was the last day of 4-H camp. I was looking in the mirror and checking my face for bruises (瘀伤). The day before, for some silly reason, I had got into a fight with another boy. It didn’t take long for the bigger boys to pull us apart and call it a draw, but in truth, I had lost. My head still hurt from a couple of the blows the other boy had landed. We hadn’t talked since the fight either but only stared coldly at each other from across the room.

Still, I was in a good mood this morning because I knew my Mom was bringing some of her homemade pizzas as a treat for my brother, me and our friends. Soon I saw her walking up the sidewalk toward the steps of our cabin (小屋). She had been bringing these pizzas to us every 4-H camp for years now. I saw her smile as my brother and his friends all took the big cut pieces. She made sure, though, to save the last two pieces for me. I thanked her with a smile and started to eat when I saw my fight opponent（对手）standing off to the side by himself. At that moment, something moved me. I walked over to him and gave him one of the pieces. We talked, laughed and ate. And for some reason unknown to me at the time, the pizza tasted better than ever before.

I can see now what moved my heart. A little miracle (奇迹) was working inside of me – moving me to forgive, to give and to love. And I am so happy that I followed my heart.

Scottish writer Henry Drummond wrote: “You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”

May you really live then. ________________. And may your pizza always taste delicious.

29. In the 4-H camp, what happened to the writer?

A. He got hurt in a fighting.          B. He developed survival skills.

C. He went on a family camping trip.      D. He wasn’t welcomed at the camp.

30. Why did the author share his pizza with his opponent?

A. He didn’t like to eat pizza.

B. The opponent asked him for it.

C. He wanted to show his care for him.

D.The opponent said sorry to him for the fight.

31. Which of the following can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?

    A. May you live long .          B. May you forgive, give and love.

C. May your friendship last long.        D. May you share food with your friend.

C

On Nov 8, Wang Yaping, a female astronaut (宇航员) of Shenzhou XIII, became China’s first and the world’s 16th female space walker. The expected six-month journey in space has left many curious about the differences between male and female astronauts, especially in terms of performing extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Except body challenges, female astronauts have special advantages.

Understanding between astronauts is very important for carrying out EVAs, which is based on excellent communication skills. Women are better in communication and language expression, and this helps female astronauts do extravehicular activities, according to Yang Yuguang, head of Space Transportation Committee.

Men and women are different in body size, which also gives women special advantages for spacewalks. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as women will be able to control their weight better and perform different kinds of tasks,” Pang told China Daily.

Women in general weigh less, eat less food, use less oxygen(氧气), and therefore require less fuel(燃料) to get into space. An astronaut must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to fit in the cabin (舱) of spacecraft and use less fuel, according to CGIN.

A different body shape requires a different spacesuit. A spacesuit was prepared for Wang’s extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males’. Designers optimized the pattern of this spacesuit in the lower part area to make it more suitable for astronauts with slimmer bodies.

According to Pang, many studies have found that female astronauts are more suitable for space tasks, and have advantages over male astronauts in qualities such as attention to detail and thinking thoughtfully .

Men do better in shorter-term, goal-oriented (目标导向的) situations while women are better in longer-term habitation-type (居住类) situations, according to National Geographic.

Women’s taking part in EVAs is an important part of space tasks, and we are seeing history thanks to Wang’s bravery, according to Yang.

32. What do we know about Wang’s extravehicular activities?

A. She is the first ever female space walker.

B. The spacesuit she wore was specially designed.

C. The task was planned to show female’s advantages.

D. She performed some tasks that her male partners couldn’t do.

33. What does the underlined word “optimize”in Paragraph 5 mean in this passage?

  A.make something better           B. make something worse

C.make something colourful           D.make something colourless

34. Which of the following is an advantage females have over male astronauts?

A. Females have better communication skills.

B. Female bodies are stronger and more smart.

C. Females can be used to the life in space more quickly.

D. Females deal with goal-oriented situations better than males.

35. What’s the main idea of the article?

A. The challenges female astronauts face during a spacewalk.

B. The difficulty of females doing extravehicular activities.

C. The advantages of females doing extravehicular activities.

D. The preparations for the females to carry out space mission.

According to several recent surveys, some people fear public speaking more than anything else. Luckily, this fear can be overcome (克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive (正面的) energy from the listeners.

Practising for a speech is important. After the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers must practise, practise, practise. The more times they practise the speech, the more comfortable they will discuss the topic. Using objects such as mirrors or video recordings as they practise can show speakers what they look and sound like to the listeners. Video is very helpful as it can be watched many times, with the speakers focusing (集中) on one part at a time.  

Another method of overcoming public speaking fears is using the listeners’ positive energy. Speakers need to remember that the listeners want them to succeed. Something as basic as a small nod or a smile from a member of the listeners should give confidence to the speakers on the stage. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the listeners’ good will helps much in making a speech better.

All in all, these two methods are sure to help with fear of public speaking. With proper practice and listeners empathy (共鸣), it is possible to overcome the fear of public speaking and make a successful speech. So there is no need to fear public speaking any more.

Life is only once for everybody. It's important to cherish our lives. As students, what should we do? Here are some suggestions.

First, we should get on well with our classmates. Don’t fight with them. If we have trouble in communicating with each other, we can ask teachers for help. Second, swimming in places like lakes or rivers alone is dangerous. Third, there are more and more cars nowadays. It ‘s necessary for us to follow the traffic rules. Walk on the zebra crossing when crossing the street. Moreover, we should surf the Internet safely. We shouldn’t meet online friends alone and keep away from unhealthy things.

Safety comes first. Please guard against any possible danger anytime.
