What are your favorite stories you learned as a child? What stories do you hope your loved ones will tell about you when you aren’t around?
Storytellers were once known as “liars”. This was not to say their stories weren’t true. But they were often exaggerated(夸大的) in colorful ways that brought a story to life.
I grew up in a family of “liars”. They all told stories. And I grew up to earn my living by writing stories. The stories I write about my family are always true. But I can’t always be sure of every detail, so I rely on imagination to fill in the gaps.
My grandmother’s stories changed a bit each time she told them, and I smiled at how her changes made a story better. I loved hearing her stories. And my grandchildren seem to love hearing mine.
“Tell it again, Nana!” they say. I do, and they start laughing before I get to the funny part. Recently, they begged to hear a Halloween story I’ve told countless times. Here it is:
Once upon a time, when I was 10, my mother told me to make costumes (服装) and take my brothers to go trick-or-treating. Denton was 4. He looked like a monkey. Joe was 6 and totally blind. I threw a sheet over his head but forgot to tell him he was a ghost (鬼).
We knocked on the first door and waited. The door flew open, and we all shouted, “Trick-or-treat!” Mrs Fisher patted Joe’s head through the sheet and said, “What a cute little ghost!”
And Joe yelled (叫喊), “I ain’t a ghost!”
True story. My grandchildren love it. They beg me to tell it again and again.
I hope to tell them more stories as they grow older. I want them to remember me and the big, crazy family I grew up in. Stories are the unbreakable threads that bind generations together, tell us who we are and give us hope.
My grandchildren have never met their “Great Uncle Joe”, but they won’t soon forget him. To them, he will always be, not a ghost, but very lovable.
24. The questions in paragraph 1 are intended to ________.
A. To introduce the topic
B. To give examples
C. To make comparison
D. To collect answers
25. Why did the author say she grew up in a family of liars?
A. Because her family were good at telling lies.
B. Because their stories were not true.
C. Because all her family told stories.
D. Because her grandmother would often change her stories.
26. What can we know from the article?
A. Some family members often lie to one another.
B. Stories may make one remembered in a way.
C. Joe was the youngest child in the family.
D. Joe liked to be called a ghost.
27. What can be the best title of the article?

Scientists have long said getting a good night's sleep is important to your health. The U.S. National Institute of Health says lack of sleep may even increase the risk of impaired brain activity, or cognitive decline(认知减退), and Alzheimer's disease.
Now, an American team of scientists reports that too much sleep might be similarly linked to such conditions.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, did the sleep study. Their findings were published in the September issue of the scientific publication Brain.
Dr. Brendan Lucey is director of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center and led the research. He said, "Our study suggests that there is a middle range(区间), or ‘sweet spot,' for total sleep time" for best cognitive performance.
"Short and long sleep times were associated with worse cognitive performance, perhaps due to insufficient(不足的) sleep or poor sleep quality, " Lucey added.
Other studies have shown that lack of sleep was linked with cognitive decline. A small 2018 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that losing just one night of sleep led to an increase in beta-amyloid production. Beta-amyloid is a metabolic(新陈代谢的) waste product found in between brain cells. It has been long linked to brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.
The National Sleep Foundation advises that healthy adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Babies, young children, and teens need even more sleep for their growth and development. And people over 65 should also get seven to eight hours per night, the foundation says.
One unanswered question from the Washington University study is whether increasing sleep time for short sleepers would help their cognitive performance.
But lead writer Lucey said each person's sleep needs are individual. If people feel rested, there is no need to change how they sleep. But those who are not sleeping well should know that sleep problems often can be treated, Lucey said.
Dr. David Holtzman, another top researcher on the study, added, "It suggests that sleep quality may be key, as opposed to simply total sleep."
28. What does the underlined word impaired in paragraph 1 mean?
A. varied B. astonished C. damaged D. endangered
29. What does the Washington University study suggest?
A. Neither too much nor too little time is the best for people’s cognitive performance.
B. People getting at least eight hours of sleep every night have the best cognitive performance.
C. Lack of sleep will cause cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease.
D. Sleep quality is the key factor that is linked with cognitive decline.
30. Who need the most sleep time according to the National Sleep Foundation?
A. Senior citizens B. Adults C. Teenagers D. Reserchers
31. What’s Dr. David Holtzman’s attitude toward the Washington University study ?
A. Acceptable B. Disapproving C. Surprised D. Uninterested
D
An 89-year-old man from the American state of Rhode Island has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about. He earned his doctorate (博士学位), and became a physicist.
Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted. "But I made it, and this was the most gratifying point in my life, to finish it," he told The Associated Press.
As a young person, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein and Max Planck. But after World War II, his mother and uncle advised him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree from the University of Vienna in 1955 and moved to the United States soon after. In the U.S., he had a successful career studying blood and blood conditions, or hematology(血液学). He was a full professor and led the hematology department at Brown's medical school from 1985 to 1994.
Steiner helped establish a research program in hematology at the University of North Carolina. He directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000 and returned to Rhode Island.
Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics.
At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes at Brown. By 2007, he had earned enough credits (学分)to join the doctoral program.
Physics professor Brad Marston was surprised when Steiner entered his quantum mechanics(量子力学) class. Marston had taught graduate students in their 40s, but never in their 70s. But the professor soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked.
Marston became Steiner's adviser for his dissertation(学位论文).
"He has written many papers in medical science, more papers than I've written in physics. He already had a scientific way of thinking that younger students have to develop," Marston said. "One thing that's really true about Manfred is he perseveres(坚持)."
Steiner defended his dissertation in September after recovering from a serious medical condition.
Steiner now hopes to help the professors he befriended during his studies with their research.
After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across the U.S. contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life.
He said his advice is: Do what you love to do.
32. How did Steiner feel after he got his doctorate ?
A. Astonished B. Happy C. Amused D. Embarrassed
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Steiner was interested in physics when he was young.
B. Albert Einstein and Max Planck are great physicists.
C. Steiner wanted to be a physicist but became a success in medicine.
D. Studying medicine was a better choice for Steiner after World War II.

34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Steiner retired from physics in 2000 and went back to Rhode Island.
B. Brad Marston never taught graduate students in their 70s.
C. Steiner’s perseverance impressed Brad Marston a lot.
D. Steiner should develop a scientific way of thinking in physics.
35. What can we learn from Steiner’s story?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Actions speaks louder than words.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

Dear John,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life.
Life for a freshman like me is really challenging. At the beginning of this new term, a strict but exciting seven-day military training was held. Tired as I was, it built up my body and tested my will. New life on campus provides opportunities to make some new friends, with whom views can be exchanged in depth. There are various extra-curricular activities, which can greatly enrich my school life. As for my new teachers, it seems that every teacher can make their lessons lovely and interesting. As you can see, I’m adapting to the fresh life. How about you?
Best regards!
Yours,
Li Hua

W: OK, Can you tell me how often you use the railway station?
M: I use it every Monday.
W: What do you think of the new restaurant?

W: So how do you usually get to the railway station: by taxi or subway?

Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to tell you something about traveling by bike here in London. If you visit London, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars, and also a lot of bikes. It’s very cheap and quick to use a bike. If you take a bus, you often have to wait for half an hour or so. What’s more, because of the heavy traffic, the buses move very slowly. The underground is quick but very expensive and often crowded. I used to travel to work by bus. I often arrived at work late and tired. Then a friend of mine suggested we go to work together by bike so that we can save some time. I followed him. Although we went slowly, we always arrived on time. Taking a bus takes me 50 minutes, while riding a bike takes only half an hour to get to work. Now I love riding a bike to work.
