A 7-Year-Old Wrote to Lego Asking for a Job

One day, Catherine asked Thomas, her 7-year-old son, what he would like to be when he grows up.

Thomas said, “I want to be a Lego designer.”

The next day he appeared with a letter, written in his “    13    handwriting”, asked Lego if he could work for them.

His mom posted the letter but also tried to manage his expectations. She told Thomas that while Lego would appreciate(欣赏) his letter, the company    14   wouldn’t respond(做出反应). Thomas looked crestfallen(沮丧的).

Then a package(包裹) arrived from Christian Pau, the general manager of Lego U.K. Inside was a Lego kit.

And a handwritten letter that said:                                             a Lego kit

Dear Thomas,                                          

Thank you so much for your letter. It is great to see how excited you are for Lego building and your creations look fantastic!

We would love your help to design even better    15   , but unfortunately(很遗憾的) all our designers are sitting in Billund, which is in Denmark. We would still love to invite you to visit us in our Slough office (together with your parents) for a juice/ tea/ coffee and a tour of the building.

Let me know what time    16    for you!

All the best,

Christian

“Seeing my son light up with pride at the beautifully crafted(精心制作的) letter,” Catherine wrote, “was something I won’t forget.”

And neither will Thomas.

Maya Angelou once said, “People may forget what you say or do, but they will never forget how you make them    17   .”

That also    18    we never know when our words or actions might make an impact(影响) on another person. A little encouragement. A little acceptance. A little praise(表扬). Small actions, fleeting(短暂的) and even insignificant(微不足道的) to us, but possibly life-changing for another person.

Christian Pau didn’t know how Thomas might react to his letter. He simply took the    19    to respond.

It was a small moment to him — but probably a huge moment for Thomas. As Catherine wrote, “Thank you … for making my son see that it’s always worth    20    .”

13．A．best     B．worst     C．smallest    D．biggest

14．A．hardly    B．finally    C．probably    D．especially

15．A．articles    B．objects    C．supplies    D．products

16．A．waits     B．works    C．stays     D．saves

17．A．feel      B．agree     C．believe    D．discover

18．A．causes    B．counts    C．means    D．predicts

19．A．time     B．money    C．suggestion    D．chance

20．A．caring       B．trying       C．considering      D．doubting

三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分）

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Read and match the questions with the correct advice.

Advice   

(1) For most students, exams are terrible. You feel nervous. No matter how hard exams are, you will have to learn how to fight the problem effectively to succeed. You should know how to deal with exam anxiety(焦虑). Sleep well and it can make you feel fresh and confident!             

(2)  As a teenager, I met the same problem as you. Here are some ideas for you.

Your mother talks much because she cares about you. I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mother’s, you can communicate with her, and tell her what you are thinking about.

If your mother doesn’t take your advice, just keep silent and give her a smile.

(3) Online learning is different from traditional campus(校园) learning. For this reason, online classes can be stressful. Here are some pieces of advice for you.

         The first tip is that you need to have a plan.

         Take some break from the computer screen.

         Create a reasonable timetable that is easy to follow.

         Make sure that you get a good sleep.

(4)  It’s no secret that sleep plays an important role in good physical and mental health. 

If you have got physical problems, you’d better go to hospital for medical help as soon as possible. If you have mental problems, there are also steps that you can take on your own to improve your sleep and well-being. Having good sleep hygiene(卫生) or practices that support sleep, is important for you to stay rested and avoiding daytime sleepiness.

The Most Valuable Player (MVP) award(奖) was what I hoped to get. Yes, MVP — the best. Win this award and everyone thinks you are the best player on your team.

Back in Grade 6, football became my favourite sport. I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard practice, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP.

As the football season went on, our team made it to the playoffs (季后赛). We finished second in the city. We were a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain(队长), but I had the most goals on the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to all his players. At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got awards for wonderful performances. Everyone felt that I would get the MVP. When the dinner almost finished, the coach stood up and announced(宣布) the winners for the awards. “The winner for MVP is ... Kenny!” he said.

I didn’t understand why. After the event, the coach came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself and not for the team. You have to realize that football is about the team, not about one individual player.” That night, I did receive a trophy (奖杯). It was called the Most Improved Player (MIP).

Now I’m in Grade 9 and the captain of the football team. I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just “you”. It’s about “us”. I am both a better player and a better captain because of this.

25．By the end of the year, the writer felt that he would get the MVP because ________.

A．he was good at passing the ball   B．he always had the most goals   

C．he got better and better at soccer   D．he was the captain of the team

26．The underlined word “individual” might mean ________.

A．confident    B．personal   C．wonderful   D. important

27．Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Kenny was the captain and had the most goals.

B．The writer won the MVP award when he was in Grade 6.

C．The coach thought that the writer wasn’t the best player.

D．The writer finally realized the importance of teamwork.

Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according(根据) to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.

Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favourite clubs.

Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility(责任) which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.

Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.

28．Why are students given chances to take part in activities?

A．To get good grades.     B．To improve speaking ability.

C．To express their love for arts.   D．To get the pleasure of success.

29．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Project work makes teenagers nervous. 

B．Good qualities will lead to a happy life.

C．Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time.

D．Taking responsibility will make work much easier.

30．Which can be the best title for the passage? 

A．The Value of Moral Education   B．The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability 

C．The Meaning of Success to Teenagers D．The Way to Communicate with Others

Some of you may play Ant Forest. It is a game on Alipay. Users collect “energy” to make their “trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain level, some organizations and companies will plant a real tree in a desert area of China. And now it seems that the nation’s efforts as a whole to make a greener world have paid off.

According to a study by NASA and published in the journal(杂志) Nature Sustainability in February, China and India are mainly responsible for making the Earth greener over the past twenty years. The study has found that since 2000 the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent(百分之…), or over 5 million square kilometers. That’s an area equivalent(等同于) to the total area of the Amazon rainforest. It is mainly the result of big tree planting programs in China and intensive(精耕细作的) agriculture(农业) in both countries, according to NASA．“China and India account for(占比) one third of the increased greening but contain(包含) only 9 percent of the planets land area covered in vegetation(植被).” Chi Chen, the study’s lead author and a researcher at Boston University, US, told CNN. China was the major contributor(贡献者), adding 25 percent to this increase, while India added 6.8 percent.

Over the past 40 years, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, China began a national-level forestation project — the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program, also known as the “Great Green Wall”. The program has seen many trees planted in northern China to act as windbreaks, according to China Daily. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate(率) among the places of the project had reached 13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago.

For example, Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia, is the seventh largest in the country. It was once the source(来源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But thanks to forestation efforts, about one third of Kubuqi Desert is now covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common, reported Xinhua News Agency.

 In the light of China’s success in dealing with desertification, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) believes China is a good example for others to follow. “China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world.” UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim told Xinhua.

31．When the users of Ant Forest collect enough “energy”, ________.  

A．a tree can be planted in the game

B．they can go to the desert and plant a tree

C．a tree in the desert will be named after them

D．an organization or a company will plant a tree in a desert

32．What can be known about the “Great Green Wall”?

A．It was a project led by Indian government.

B．This project started in 1978 and completed in 2017.

C．Trees were planted to provide protection from the wind.

D．The forest coverage rate of China increased about 8.5%.

33．Why does the author write this article?

A．To suggest that other countries learn from China’s actions.

B．To call for more efforts to make the Earth greener.

C．To state that China has been playing a leading role to increase green land.

D．To prove that the green leaf area on the Earth has been decreasing rapidly in recent years.

How to Spend Your Weekend Alone Without Losing It

There can be many, many stories behind weekends spent alone.  

In the 4 years that I’ve been living on my own now, I’ve achieved the feat(壮举) of spending 208 weekends alone.

Based on(基于) this mind-blowing success, here’s a practical guide so that you, too, can spend your weekends, alone.

1. Go to a Free Gig(演出)

Coffee shops, libraries and local places often host free gigs, so see if there is anything going on in your area this weekend. Concerts can actually be much more rewarding(有意义的) when you go alone.

2. Go on a Long Walk

Going for a long walk and experiencing nature is often more enjoyable if you are alone, as it is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.

You can stop to appreciate every beautiful flower you pass, and hear all of the quiet, busy sounds of nature.

3. Order Your Favourite Take Out Food

Get the menu and order your favourite take-away. As you don’t have to share it with anyone else, you can order as much food as you want.

4. Take a Shopping Trip Alone

Bring down any shopping stress by taking the trip alone. Other people can slow you down or make you hurry up, and you can end up missing out on the best clothes.

Take a relaxing trip alone and take your time trying everything on: you are likely to have a great day and find something you love.

5. Watch a TV Show You Love

The best part about watching television alone is that you can watch whatever you want. Put on your comfortable clothes, get some food and put your feet up for hours of watching.

34．What is the practical guide based on?

35．How many ways of spending the weekend are there in the guide?

36．Why is going for a long walk and experiencing nature more enjoyable if you are alone?

37．When you are alone, how do you spend your weekend? And why?
