One day,I took an underground to work,I saw something that made me very sad.On the tube(underground in London),a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her.The little girl,about 5 years old,was talking to her mother about her day,repeating the next stop's name cheerfully,praising her mother's long nails﹣﹣﹣trying to draw her mother's attention.Her mother just nodded and mumbled"Mm,hm"with her eyes glued to the screen,busy passing the levels of the game.I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her,but it was no use.Then the little girl turned silent.It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
It broke my heart and got me wondering﹣﹣﹣what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world,the human she created,the person she loves with all her heart?What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?
Some parents are almost like the teenagers,always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook.Perhaps parents have many things to deal with,but sometimes they are everything to their kids.
This is not an isolatedexample.I've seen too many such examples.I might not be a parent myself,and probably still have a long way before becoming one,but I know what I saw isn't right.
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones.Look how the situation has changed!The parents have become"technology slaves",that is to say,they can't control themselves while using mobile phones.Now some middle﹣aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones,which are probably the only two brands they know.They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones,I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry.But my hope is that this storm passes.
32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The girl failed to attract her mother's attention.
B.The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.
C.The writer has much experience about being a parent.
D.Middle﹣aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.
33.The underlined word"isolated"in Paragraph 4 means .
A.spreading fast
B.happening once
C.increasing quickly
D.appearing suddenly
34.In the passage,the writer mainly wants to express .
A.the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B.the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C.the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D.the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
35.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Middle﹣aged parents
B.A scene on the tube
C.Technology slaves
D.Mindless phone games.

Yearbooks in the United States
Most high schools in the United Sates publish a yearbook once a year,usually in the spring.It is a record of the school year﹣a"book of memories"for the students.
Inside a yearbook is each student's photo.The seniors are graduating soon,and their photos appear firs.Next are the juniors,They are one year behind the seniors.Then come the second﹣year students.The last photos are the first﹣year students.The yearbook is not only about students.The teachers have photos,too.
They yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities.These are activities that students do after school,such as the chess club and Spanish club.There is even a yearbook club.Students in this club write,design and take photos all year for the yearbook.
In the yearbook,some students receive special titles,The seniors vote and choose the"class clown"(a funny student ),the"most likely to succeed"(a student who got the best grades ),and the"best dressed"(a student with a good fashion sense ).There are also other awards.
Students usually sign each other's yearbooks,This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating.Students write notes to each other,such as,"We had a lot of fun,"or because they are graduating.Students write notes to each other,such as,"We had a lot of fun,"or"I'll never forget you."They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.

"Jamila,I just found one dollar sitting on the coffee table,"said Mrs.Johnson."Is that your money?"
Jamila looked up from the book she was reading."Oops,it's mine.I emptied my jacket pockets before I left for basketball practice yesterday.I was running late,so I didn't have time to take it up to my room."Jamila placed it quickly in the back of her book and went back to reading.
"Jamila,you just put that money into the back of your book.I'm quite sure that you're not going to be able to find it when you need it."her mother said."You see,some of your money is in the pencil case on your desk.Some is in the glove hanging behind the door.I think you might also have a few dollars in your bag.You are such a careless girl."
"Mom.I'm too busy to take care of my money."
Mrs.Johnson smiled,"It looks like it's time for you to get your own bank account (账户)."
"My own bank account?Is it necessary?Kids know little about it."Jamila replied.

With so much free time on our hands during lockdown, many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world. Learning a foreign language is a good choice. Here are a few examples, in order of time it takes people to learn them.
Latin languages (about 600 hours)
The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn. Of these, Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn. They are followed by Portuguese and finally French.
Latin languages share many words with English.However,those shared words look or sound similar, but have different meanings over time.
Greek (1,100 hours)
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet(字母表).It is also a language that has contributed many words to English. Indeed, the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words(外来词) as well as the unavoidable basic English.
Japanese (2, 200 hours)
Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin (like "roads"), small and round (like "apples"), thin and flat (like "sheets of paper"), and hundreds more examples.
What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender(性别). There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women, but you must understand both.
Chinese (2, 200 hours)
Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin (普通话) speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong. If you think that's strange, consider our number system: the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French.
(1)For an English speaker, which of the following is the easiest to learn?
A. Japanese.
B. French.
C. Greek.
D. Italian.
(2)What can we learn from the passage?
A. The same word in two languages always has the same meaning.
B. The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet.
C. Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes.
D. A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently.
(3)The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers .
A. how to learn some foreign languages
B. why they must learn a foreign language
C. some information on the difficulty of foreign languages
D. not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard
You love reading,but you've read all your books four times,and are tired of reading the same ones.You're planning to go to the library,but don't know what kind of books to get.With the right knowledge,it's easy to choose a good book!
Answer these questions first.What authors do you like?Research books by the authors you've enjoyed,and you can get more of the same type of books.What are your interests?Type your hobbies into your library catalog search.By doing this,you will find books that you might like.Is there a type of book you would like to try?If there is,search the book and read the summary.This will help you decide if the book is right for you.
Search your house next.
Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house.Maybe you forget about one,or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books.Also by searching your house,you can find some books that you can read,and they won't even cost you any money.
Then,ask someone to recommend a good book.You can ask your older brother or sister,your mom,your dad,your best friend,or even your English teacher.Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations.And when they get to know you,it's even better! You should ask people who like the same type of books,so that you can get books that match your need.
Join a book club,please.Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members.Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you,and you can read books that others have read and discuss them.
Finally,read the first part of each book.Of course,if you have many books,this can be time﹣consuming.Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like,and you won't have a hard time looking for books again.

In recent years, a growing number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages,(1) They have been learning Chinese and are interested in Chinese culture.Anna is one of them.Before she translated JinYong's novel Legends of the Condor Heroes(《射雕英雄传》),the writer was little known to English readers.(2)
But Anna managed to do it.Impressed(使……印象深刻)by the book's themes(主题) of good against evil,loyalty(忠诚)and love,as well as Chinese philsophy(哲学) ,Anna hoped to bring it to new readers.After five years of work, the translated book was published in 2018.(3) Many people think Anna did a good job.
Anna studied at the University of Oxford.(4) After the trip she became interested in China and began to learn Chinese.She calls herself "a clumsy(笨拙的) student, just like Guo Jing from Legends of the Condor Heroes, but one of loyal heart".
(5) Last year, he translated the animated movie Ne Zha.He said."I see China's stronger cultural influences.And we have a growing number of students majoring in Chinese.More Chinese stories will appear in front of new audiences."
A.Like Anna, another translator David also learned Chinese in college. B.She took a trip to China at the age of 21. C.Many of the translators are young people. D.One reason for this was that his works were too hard to translate. E.It was reprinted(再版) seven times within several months in the UK. |
"Growing up, Einstein saw his father struggle to support the family and move the family for different jobs, Einstein had to move between schools and it was challenging for him to catch up with his new class."
This story about the struggles(奋斗)of famous scientists can't be found in your regular science textbook, but a new study suggested maybe it should be.
In the study, 402 9th﹣ and 10th﹣grade students from four New York City high schools in low﹣income areas were divided into three groups. The students read some 800﹣word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Another group read about the scientists' personal struggles, like Einstein's running away from Nazi Germany. The third group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments﹣﹣﹣ and failed.
As it turned out,the students who had read about scientists' struggles, whether personal or intellectual, had higher grades than students who had read about achievements. Those who weren't getting good grades to begin with gained the most. Those in the control group not only didn't see a grade increase, they had lower grades than the grading before the study began.
"We think that struggle stories showed scientists' weaknesses." the researchers write, "which creates a sense of connection between the students and scientists. And that may make it easier for students to see them as role models."
"When kids think Einstein is a talent who is untouchable, then they believe they will never get there, "said lead researcher Xiaodong Lin﹣Siegler, PhD.
If we want to educate a future generation of great scientists, we can start by changing the way we talk about the great scientists of the past. An 800﹣word story about scientists' failures, not just their achievements, in science textbooks will make it happen.
(1)What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Learning about struggles of scientists may help students succeed in science.
B. Reading stories of scientists' achievements will help educate future scientists.
C. Science textbooks should describe scientists' failures instead of their achievements.
D. Stories of scientists' struggles may make students see scientists as being untouchable.
(2)From Paragraph 4, we can know that .
A. those good at science achieved most from this exercise
B. the control group had lower grades than the other two groups
C. the students' grades in the control group remained the same
D. the students in the third group had the highest grades
(3)What's the main idea for Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A. Findings of the study.
B. Explanations from the researchers.
C. Process of the study.
D. Suggestions from the researchers.
(4)In the study, which of the following would the third group probably read?
A. Einstein won many awards in his life, including the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics.
B.Going to college was hard for Curie because at that time women were not allowed to attend school. So, Curie had to study at secret classes.
C.By the time she reached college, Curie was able to understand five languages that top scientists spoke at that time.
D.Often working hour after hour and day after day,Curie devoted herself to solving challenging problems and learning from her mistakes.
Mind Maps
Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.
1Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:
transport.
2Brainstorm some word groups for 'transport' and think of headings for each one. For example:
sea transport
land transport
air transport
For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.
3Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in 'land transport' there are two sub﹣groups;
●road
●rail
Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.
4When you can't make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.
5As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.
6To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.
(1)The instructions above mainly show us .
A. what mind maps are
B. how to draw mind maps
C. what mind maps can do
D. how to make mind maps better
(2)What can we learn about mind maps?

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.

Can a green machine help the world's poorest kids learn better?Nicholas Negroponte thinks so.He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer.As a result,many children who live in poverty (贫穷) will have their own laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university.He started a group called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC).The people at OLPC don't work for money.They work to help children learn.OLPC makes computers that don't cost a lot.Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty.The governments then give the computes to kids for free.
The XO Laptop computers are made for school﹣aged children in developing nations.Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms.In order to work,the laptops have to be lasting and student﹣friendly.
The machines have many fun characters like a built﹣in video camera,voice recording,and games.The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e﹣books.They also can make music and chat with friends.
Another great character is that it can last for a long time.It can be hand chargedand also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel.Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.
The computers have a colorful name﹣"the green machine".Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids.He says, "Every problem you can think of﹣poverty,peace,the environment﹣is solved with education."
OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years.Kids in Thailand,Nigeria,Brazil,and Argentina will get most of them.China and Egypt also want to take part in the program.After that,Negroponte hopes to sell computers to other countries with high poverty.

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States.The book contains(包含) the name,photo, and signature (签名) of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with.A 15﹣year﹣old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this.They thought,"Why not have a yearbook online?You could learn about people's music tastes, the movies they like,and so on."
Catherine thought of the name﹣ myYearbook.com, and the logo (图标).

She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.
MyYearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and "collecting" friends.
They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos,homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can make friends more easily online.Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.
Users can also make "Lunch Money" by doing activities on the site. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate(捐赠)it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km2 of rainforest cleaned up 1 million kg of CO2, set 22,000 books to Africa,and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork Successfully,and going on to university,where they still spent 50 hours a week on the site.

Life offers so many lessons, both practical and personal, that you're never too young to begin learning them. Here are some skills to learn as soon as possible.
Money Management
When you start receiving money of your own. It's time to start understanding your relationship with money. In a world where you can buy any and every object, the key is to save money by buying only essentials (必需品) and a treat sometimes.
Cooking
One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself. Beyond that, cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health. If you start doing this at an early age, you will not have to depend on your parents too much.
Keeping Promises:
Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care. We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action. When it isn't, others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us.
Accepting Rejection (拒绝)
Though you must. be careful not to break your word, others' promises aren't always kept. Learn about it early, and you won't be hurt easily. Also, not every job application or desired (渴望的) friendship will work out, so remember that there are more fish in the sea.
Lifelong Learning
No matter how old you get, there will always be things beyond your understanding. It's better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life. Be open to new experiences and keep learning. And it's never too late to start.
(1)How many skills are talked about in the passage?
(2)Which two skills can help you save money?
(3)If one of your friends breaks his promise to you, will you be angry? Why or why not?
There are almost as many ways to write as there are kinds of texts. Some writers cannot produce a word unless they are poised behind a desk, while others prefer to write sitting outdoors or in noisy restaurants. Some writers create an entire work before going back to read what they have written, while others may rewrite a single paragraph many times before moving on. Individual writers' techniques may be different, but successful writers do have one thing in common; the writing process(步骤). The writing process is made up of four stages, and each stage involves certain activities. The chart below summarizes what happens during each stage of the writing process.
What You Do During the Writing Process
Prewriting |
●Choose your topic. ●Identify your purpose and audience, and select a writing form appropriate to that purpose and audience. ●Generate ideas and gather information about the topic. ●Begin to organize the information. ●Decide the main point you want to express. |
Writing a Draft(草稿) |
●Catch your readers' attention in the introduction. ●Provide background information. ●State your main points, your support, and your elaboration of them. ●Follow a plan of organization. ●Wrap up with a conclusion. |
Revising(修改) |
●Evaluate your draft. ●Revise the draft to improve its content, organization, and style. |
Publishing |
●Proofread, or edit your final draft. ●Publish or share your finished writing with readers. ●Reflect on your writing experience. |
