Xiong Linghao was born on May 29th, 2002 in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. She lost her eyesight because of the illness when she was only two months old. But her mother later found that Xiong had a talent for music. She could play children’s songs on a small electric piano when she was 3 years old. At the age of 6, she started learning the piano.
Unlike most learners, Xiong could not see the piano keyboard, so she must remember where each key was through its sound. That was very hard for her. She practiced for six to eight hours every day so that she could find the right keys.
Xiong’s piano skill was getting better and better as she kept practicing. In 2020, she won the Special Jury Prize in an international youth piano competition in Shanghai. “The piano is my best friend,” said Xiong, “It brings so much pleasure into my life and encourages me to face my life bravely.”
Xiong has a great dream. She wants to be a great musician like Beethoven. Beethoven lost his hearing in his 20s and later went completely deaf, but he didn’t give up his love for music. He wrote so many famous music works in his life. So for herself, Xiong still has a long way to go.

Laughter can help us be free from pain and increase our endurance(忍耐力). A study at 2011 Oxford University showed that telling a joke to a friend can help us do more exercise at the gym or go farther on our daily walk.
Joking around is also good for our social life. Compared with staying alone, a man is more likely to laugh when he is staying with other people. When someone starts laughing, everyone else laughs too, even if they’re not sure why he is laughing.
Sophie Scott, a British scientist, believes that when we laugh, we are making and keeping social connections. They are very important for our health, because keeping connections with people around can make us healthier and live longer. Those who feel more connected to others have less depression, and are better at understanding others.
Dr. Caspar Addyman, psychologist(心理学家) at the University of London, said babies naturally understand the importance of sharing laughter. “Babies can make you laugh and you can make them laugh,” he said. “It’s all about connection.” Laughter means that we are a part of a group and we like them.
So, spending time with people we care about is the quickest and easiest way to reduce stress and improve our health conditions. It’s pretty fun, too.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。
41．What can telling a joke help us to do?
A．It can help us laugh for a rather long time.

B．Staying with friends helps solve our problems.
C．Spending time with family may help us keep healthy.

Maybe you know Chinese paper cutting, but have you ever heard of leaf-cutting art?
In autumn and winter, many streets are covered with fallen leaves. Most of us 46 just pass over them without paying much attention. But not Kanat Nurtazin, an 47 from Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). He will pick up some fallen leaves and 48 beautiful artworks out of them.
Kanat works at a university. He has kept 49 as a hobby to stay creative since 2013. This long-time hobby has also allowed him to show himself through art.
In 2013, Kanat started a project called “100 Methods of Drawing”. In this project, he tries to use different materials and 50 to create artworks. Among all these creative paintings, leaf-cutting art is one of his favorites.
To make leaf art, Kanat 51 chooses a leaf from his collection. Then, he simply imagines a funny story or a lively moment. He draws it on a piece of paper and 52 the paper to the leaf. After the glue dries, Kanat uses a razor(剃须刀) to cut out the pattern on the leaf. Finally, the artist finds a beautiful 53 to take photos of the leaf. And this “leaf story” will be shared online.
A leaf’s life is 54 . But if you look at it 55 your creative eyes, like Kanat does, you can also give the leaf a second life by making it tell an interesting story!

First of all, I will keep working hard. For example, I am supposed to listen to teachers carefully in class. Meanwhile, I plan to read as many books as possible to increase my knowledge. What’s more, I want to get on well with classmates so that I can make more friends. Last but not least, I intend to do some volunteer work because it will let me grow as a better person.
All in all, as long as I follow my plan well, I believe I will have a meaningful high school life. I hope I will be better and better.
