Do you like reading？ Today let me share something about reading in China． With rapid development of technology and the Internet， new methods and ecological （生态的） ideas provide more possibilities for the Chinese to read． The newly national reading report shows that 80 percent of Chinese adults read books， newspapers or magazines in 2018， a year﹣on﹣year increase．
Prevailing（盛行的） digital（数字的） reading
The growth of digital reading has made reading more popular among the Chinese． According to a survey， about 76 percent said they had accessed （访问） content through digital channels． Chen Chengpei， an office worker in Xiamen City loves reading on his mobile phone app in his spare time． He thinks it's so easy to kill the spare minutes．Mobile phone reading has become the main channel for him to get information． He has downloaded seven news apps， through which he reads for one or two hours a day．
Listening to audiobooks has become a new growth point in terms of reading habits． ZhangJin from Beijing likes reading 40 minutes on his mobile while going to work on the bus in the morning， and listening to audiobooks on the way home． According to Ximalaya， 16.9 percent of its total users listen to its audiobooks． To attract more users， the mobile app allows users to vote for the book they hope to listen to most． The audio app tries to meet their needs．

Li Yang， a student in Beijing， used to be worried by piles of books as her house is too small． The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second﹣hand bookstore Deja Vu．"By selling them， most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again． "she said．
According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2018， the market for the second﹣hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online．
The rise of online second﹣hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling．
Users are able to sell their books by scanning the barcode（扫条形码） of books and then wait for the courier（快递员） to collect them． The collected books will be cleaned， disinfected（消毒）and packed before selling to other readers at a lower price．
According to Deja Vu， its total users hit 1.4 million in 2018， with 2 million used books being sold． It has a daily business of 20，000 books． "When I see my books being read by others，I can feel a pleasure of sharing， which is really amazing． Li Yang said．

What would you do if you felt anxious（焦虑的）？Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you？ In the United States，two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called" Healing（治愈） Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety．

The " Healing Hearts" camp was created to "help deal with anxiety，especially with girls in high school because that's when they are the most vulnerable（脆弱的），" Janet Martinez said．
On the first day of the camp，10 girls were there．Experts at the camp talked about anxiety．They
helped girls who were experiencing anxiety．The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are
anxious．They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation （调节）．
" It's good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help
each other out，" Dinah Martinez said．

There is good news for students of vocational （职业的） colleges in China： the government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education． Premier Li Keqiang said the government should speed up the development of modern vocational education to meet the need for skilled workers and technicians （技术人员） in the job market． High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges． Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year． This is the first time the central government has a clear plan．
This comes after the news of the large shortfall （不足） in highly skilled technicians， although China has millions of technical workers． China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020． The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025． Also， vocational education is unsatisfactory （不令人满意的）， although there are many vocational colleges in China． In some vocational colleges， the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading （升级）， manufacturing （制造业）． As can be seen from the job market， some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay．
To deal with the problem． some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students． They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers． With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay， it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China．
（1）What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China？ _
A． To train more highly skilled technicians for the job markets
B． To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work．
C． To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills．
D． To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing．

Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget．Among many things，relationships are the hardest to leave behind．Some schools try to stop students'puppy love in different ways．Anything about"love"relationship is not allowed．For example，a middle school in Fu'an，Fujian Province forbids（禁止） boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time；a middle school in Luohe，Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates，and if they meet in private they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school，a middle school in Jinan，Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex（异性）．It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires"44cm"distance between boys and girls．
Some students are not satisfied with such rules．"Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat？It's not using bathrooms!"Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules．For this，I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty（青春期）．It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex．Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow．
52．The first paragraph mainly tells us about ．
A．a beautiful memory of school to leave behind．
B．Some strict rules to stop students'puppy love．
C．Some opinions to deal with students'puppy love．
53．In a middle school in Jinan，a boy can't a girl．

B．In a middle school in Fu'an，boys and girls can't sit together in class．
C．Those rules can help students go through puberty without any difficulties．
56．The writer thinks ．
A．it's necessary to make such strict rules
B．schools needn't do anything to stop puppy love
C．good guidance and education are better than rules only．
Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．
When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）
we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't
even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away．

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 |

| 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.

（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？

Think I Can：How to Push Yourself to Success

Increase Your Willpower （意志力）
Saying"No" to our favorites can be challenging.However，developing strong willpower，whether it is in response （反应） to our favorite chocolate cake or to overshopping，is something that we can all benefit from.Next time you want to do something you might regret，you have the willpower to say"No".
Speak Up
Often，we meet something that troubles us or makes us unhappy.We have a voice "because I can" in our minds.Talking with your loved ones，such as your parents and friends about how you feel，what you need and what you are thinking about can help you get on well with them and form deeper relationships.

| 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 |
