“I’d better not take part in the tennis tryouts (选拔赛),” said my 14 year-old daughter Emily. “I’m afraid I won’t make the team.”

“Do you want to join the team?” I asked.

“Yes, but I’ll probably be out.”

“Well, you won’t succeed if you don’t try out,” said her brother Ben.

Her dad and I encouraged her to try—to take risks, to realize her dreams, and to learn it is OK to fail.

I hoped Emily would make her own decision. A few days later, however, Emily still did not make a decision. Then Ben told her, “You should try, or you’ll regret it.”At last, Emily nodded.

On Sunday night, the day before tryouts, the coach emailed the players to explain the rules. Each day, the girls could challenge the person right above them on the list. By the end of the week, the top 12 players would make the team. Emily was the lowest, Number 25 out of 25 players.

The next day, Emily went to the school playground. When I picked her up that afternoon, she was quite happy. “I beat Number 24,” she said. During the week, she continued her challenge and ended up at Number 19.

Emily didn’t make the team, but she didn’t care. She had overcome her fear, won more than she expected, and found herself pretty strong.

Food safety is important and it doesn’t end at our door. Eating food not kept correctly could make you fall sick. The fridge may be a perfect choice for keeping food safe and fresh, but it is not a magic box to keep all kinds of food. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.

The temperature in the fresh-keeping area can be different from shelf to shelf. As a general rule, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So make use of these different temperatures to get the best out of your food by storing it on the right shelf. Try to put ready-to-eat food like burgers, pizza or cream cakes on top shelves. The middle shelves are most suitable for dairy products (乳制品) such as cheese, butter, yoghurt and eggs. Bottom shelves are the coldest part of the fridge, making them perfect for storing raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for keeping these things, so of course make use of that if you have one.

Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria (细菌) but it can stop the bacteria from growing fast. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃and 60℃. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone. If you want to get the most out of your food, the temperature in your fridge needs to be between 0℃and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be below -18℃.

Fruit and vegetables can also be stored at room temperature. Try to keep them in a cool, dry and dark place, away from direct sunlight or sources of heat. Once cut, they should be put in the fridge.

Everyone should pay attention to food safety. Hope these tips can help you keep your food fresh for as long as possible.

18．Which of the following should be put on the bottom shelves?

A． B． C． D．

19．If you put some food in the Temperature Danger Zone, it will ________.

A．freeze fast B．be safe to eat

C．go bad very quickly D．taste and smell better

20．What should you do when it comes to storing fruit and vegetables?

A．Keep them cool and dry. B．Try to keep them as wet as possible.

C．Wash them before putting them in the fridge. D．Cut them and keep the pieces at room temperature.

21．What might be the best title of the passage?

A．Store food safely at home B．How to pick food when you buy it

C．How to tell if your food is safe to eat D．Stay away from Temperature Danger Zone

Imagine this: you and your friend are on a video call. He or she picks up a book, and you feel like you’re holding the book as well. You can shake hands or give your friend a high five, even though you’re not in the same place.

A pair of special gloves might make this possible. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have made gloves that can recreate the sense of touch. They call this haptic device (触觉装置) a “soft skin (皮肤) stretch device” (SSD).

The SSD works like this: One person’s gloves create 3D force signals when they touch something. The signals are sent to the other person’s gloves, which vibrate (震动) to create the same force that the first person is experiencing. This allows the second person to experience the same sense of touch.

The SSD allows you to feel force, vibration and motion (移动). “It is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, one of the researchers who created the gloves.

Haptic technology is already being widely used. For example, the trackpads (触控板) in laptops use vibration to make it feel like you’re using a real mouse. However, it is difficult to recreate the sense of touch in virtual (虚拟的) environments or remotely (远程地), according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead researcher of the SSD project. The SSD is special because it is highly sensitive even when it is used continuously. This makes it feel more real.

The SSD could be used in medical practice. Two doctors in separate places could work together during an operation—one touches the patient’s organs (器官) with the SSD while the other doctor feels the same feelings and completes the actual operation.

22．What does “SSD” refer to?

A．A video chat app. B．A pair of special gloves.

C．3D force signals. D．Trackpads in laptops.

23．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．What the SSD allows people to feel. B．How the SSD creates signals

C．What the SSD is used for. D．How the SSD works.

24．What makes the SSD feel more real?

A．That it can create vibrations. B．That it isn’t used remotely.

C．That it is highly sensitive. D．That it can become a part of people’s skin.

25．What do we know from the story?

A．The SSD has improved video calls in people’s daily life.

B．Haptic devices are hard to use.

C．The SSD makes remote operations possible.

D．Haptic technology is widely used in medical practice.

52．例文

Taking responsibility is a valuable quality. As a responsible teenager, I try my best in everything that I am asked to do.

Last term, I joined an English Drama Club in my school. The members were divided into different groups and each group was asked to act out a play. I was asked to play a small role that had little lines. I took part in every rehearsal and tried my best to perform my part well. In the end, our performance was a great success, which I knew I had also contributed to.

It’s the sense of responsibility that helps us do our work well. Everyone should try hard to play his own part well no matter how small the part is.
