In the USA，each year，students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad．
It has a lot of different events．Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music，biology，chemistry and others．My best event is forestry．
The big day came at last!First，I went to watch the tower building competition．That's when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it．They hope they can hold them up．One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower．She was nervous，and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it﹣﹣﹣it broke!I felt bad for her．
After lunch，I helped some teammates with their events．One was geography，and the other was history．I don't know much about those things，so I just watched my teammates do most of the work．
At last，it was time for my favorite event﹣﹣﹣﹣forestry．The rules were easy．We had to look at more than 40different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from．We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf.1knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions．I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready．At the end，it was time for the awards（颁奖）．I was nervous，because the forestry awards were last．We won second place in the whole state!A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me．

Tyler was a troublesome student．He sat in the back row．Every time I called him to answer questions，he'd reply with a flip（轻率的）answer．If he got it wrong，he would get very angry．
Usually kids could sit quietly in class．However，Tyler was just loud．One day，Tyler was talking while I was teaching．I said to him，"Tyler，why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own？"He got up from his chair，pushed it over，and shouted something I can't remember．I sent him to the office and he received a week's out﹣of﹣school punishment．
The week was a wonderful time for me，but when it came to an end，I began to feel worried．So I came up with a plan．
On the day of his return，I told him I wanted to start over with him．If he felt like he was going to lose control in class，he could step outside the door for a moment．
From then on，Tyler was a changed student in my classroom．In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day．And he never used the privilege（特权）to leave the class for a moment．I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference．

In China， writing brushes， ink sticks， paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of Study．Among the high﹣quality （质量） treasures， the writing brush produced in Huzhou， the ink stick produced in Huizhou， the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best﹣known．
The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries （陶器）．They are mainly made of the hair of animals．Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel's （鼬）tail hair are called langhao． Their artistic effects （效果） in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens．
The ink stick is the pigment （颜料） used in writing and painting．The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality． A story goes like this： Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high﹣quality ink stick． As a result， the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name"Li"， From then on， the fame of the Li Ink Stick was widespread． In the Song Dynasty， its producing area was changed into Huizhou， and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick．
Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China． The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties． In Xuanzhou， Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced，it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper． Later he happened to see the ebony （檀木） in the rivers． It was wet with the water and turned white． Then he used the bark （树皮） to produce the world﹣famous xuan paper．
The ink stone was already very popular in the Han Dynasty． The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink Stones一Duan Ink Stone， She Ink Stone， Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone． They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration．

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children． They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China， because most parents only have one child in China． Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves． So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent（依赖的）on them!
In fact， no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time． No parents would be happy knowing that． Because of too much care， their children don't know anything about the world． Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems． Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up． And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents， these children will be in a big trouble!
It's nice that parents show their care to their children． It's nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love． And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much．
（1）According to the writer， the common problem in China is that ．
A． many children don't like to go to school
B． some parents do almost everything for their children
C． some parents don't let their children go anywhere
（2）Most Chinese children know little about the world because ．
A． their parents take too much care of them
B． most parents have only one child
C． they are too young
（3）The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 1 refers to （指代） ．
A． children
B． parents

（4）What does the writer really want to tell us？

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.
（1）The second paragraph mainly talks about .
| A． |
why The Kid was made |
| B． |
when The Kid was on |
| C． |
how The Kid got successful |
| D． |
what The Kid is about |
（2）We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan .
| A． |
always visited the theatre alone |
| B． |
was possibly talented in acting |
| C． |
knew much about Chaplin before |
| D． |
played every role in Chaplin's films |
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin？
| A． |
He had a poor childhood experience. |
| B． |
He was brought up by his father. |
| C． |
He looked after his mother very well. |
| D． |
He produced films with his brother. |

You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.
（1）Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to .
A.discuss two different study habits

A.and they have difficulty in study
B.and it can be true for most of them
C.but that doesn't seem necessarily true
D.but nobody does research on this question
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage？
A.Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
B.Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C.Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D.Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A.Are you studying the "right" way？
B.How can you improve your study habits？
C.Is it possible for friends to study well together？
D.What are the advantages of different study settings？

| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |
