初中英语阅读理解

读下面的文章，在每个题目下做简单的笔记。

The teen years can be a stressful time for both teenagers and their families. While everyone has stress, teens have new and different kinds of stress they may have never before had. As a parent, you play an important role in helping your teens to deal with stress.

Talk to your teens when you notice signs of stress. Some of the signs that make your teens get stressed out might include unhappiness, worry or physical illness. Ask them what you can do to help. Talking to them can be helpful.

Advise your teens to get enough physical exercise. Exercise reduces(减少) the production of stress chemicals in the body and helps to sleep well. Ask your teens what kind of activity they think they might enjoy—that way, they’ll be more likely to keep practicing it.

Help your teens manage their daily activities by making a timetable. Many teens feel stressed because they feel like they don’t have enough time in the day, so they have too much pressure. Make a timetable that includes enough time for homework and family time.

Make sure that your teens can get enough sleep each night. A lack(缺少) of sleep can cause feelings of stress. Most teens need between 8.5 and 9.25 hours of sleep each night. Make sure your teens have a comfortable quilt, set a bed and wake time. Don’t let your teens drink coffee, tea, soda and chocolate, close to bedtime.

(1). The main idea: ___________________________

(2). List three signs of stress: ①________ ②_________ ③_______

(3). The number of ways to deal with stress: _____________________

(4). The reasons why teens should do exercise: ___________________

(5). Write at least two of your own ways to deal with stress: ①_________ ②________

During the past summer season, photos of snow leopards were taken by five different special cameras in Pingwu, Sichuan province, surprising many wildlife scientists. This shows that the living area of snow leopards in China’s southwestern mountains has become larger.

Pingwu, about 4,200 meters above the sea level, is famous for being home to a large number of wild pandas. The fourth national survey of pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild pandas in China, including 335 in Pingwu. As a result, over half of Pingwu’s land area has become part of the Panda National Park, which has a planned area of 22,000 square kilometers across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is among five national parks China named in October, 2021.

Through shutting down mines (煤矿), planting more trees and other measures, protection efforts in the park have not only made pandas less endangered, but also are offering safety and protection for other rare species (珍稀物种). About 87% of the Panda National Park lies in Sichuan. It’s the home of more than 8,000 species of animals and plants.

The province has used special cameras and forest protectors as a closely connected protection system. Thousands of forest protectors have been working year-round on more than 900 routes. Over the past four years, they have met rare animals for about 1,600 times. In Pingwu alone, more than 4,100 species of plants and 1,900 species of animals have benefited from the protection of pandas. For example, the number of takin, a rare animal, has increased by 10% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the protection of pandas causes the development of human society, too.

(1). Why does the Panda National Park include Pingwu?

A．	Because Pingwu is about 4,200 meters above the sea level.
B．	Because there are 1,864 wild pandas in Pingwu.
C．	Because there are many wild pandas in Pingwu.
D．	Because it has an area of 22,000 square kilometers.

(2). What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 4?

Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.

①________

Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.

②________

People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone!

③________

It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days.

Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it — especially about the human heart.

Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉)’,” and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’.”

Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.

Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh. I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.

And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.
