Do you like to solve problems for children?Listed below are probably three of the best answers.

I want to stay a kid forever.I love my birthday,but I don't want to be older.

﹣﹣﹣﹣Haddie,Washington

The great thing about growing up is that it doesn't happen all at once.Day after day,you'll have new experiences which can be scary,but it can also be fun.

When we feel sad about growing up,try thinking of all the things you hope to happen when you're older.It's good to enjoy being a kid,but you should know that some adults say they still feel like kids!

I like fantastic books,and I'm thinking of writing one.But I don't know how to begin.Please help!

﹣﹣﹣﹣Liam,Pennsylvania

One idea is to list "top five" memories,such as your top five trips,funny things that happened at school and so on.Choose one of these for a story.Another idea is to imagine what book you'd like to write.As words pop into your mind,write them down.Then challenge yourself to write s story using all of those words.Good luck writing.

Kids tease(嘲笑)me because I'm the slowest runner in my class.What can I do?

﹣﹣﹣﹣Tiona,Oregon

We're sorry to hear that.These kids may be looking for attention,and if you don't give it to them,they may stop.

If that doesn't work,you could try replying with kindness.Sometimes kind words are the best answer to them.If the teasing continues,be sure to talk to someone who can help.If improving your running speed is something you'd like to work on,you could also ask your gym teacher for advice.

If we want to grow as people,we can't just depend on our own evaluation(评价)of how we're doing.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.Receiving feedback(反馈)from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success.However,someone has to give that feedback,and sometimes,that someone will be you.How should you deal with this

First things first-if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful,give it as soon as you can.If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind,they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.Take the person to a safe,comfortable place and offer your advice in private.

When you're giving feedback,it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.Make sure you give an equal(相等的)amount of good feedback to balance out(平衡)anything bad.Like the saying goes, " A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

All good feedback shares something in common.First,it should help achieve a goal.It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt.Feedback should also look toward the future.You can't change what's already happened,but you can prevent it from happening again.Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.

Finally,don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation.You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.Don't take it personally﹣﹣it can only help you give better advice next time.

(1)What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph probably mean?    

A.

Seeing the picture.

B.

Giving feedback.

C.

Receiving feedback.

D.

Showing a way to success.

(2)Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2?       

A.

You might forget to tell the person later on.

B.

Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.

C.

Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice.

D.

If you wait to long,the person might forget what's happened.

(3)What can we infer(推断)from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?       

A.

It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.

B.

It's difficult to do a good job all the time.

C.

It's better to balance good and bad feedback.

D.

It's important to think twice before giving feedback.

(4)The passage is mainly about    .

A.

what characters good feedback includes

B.

how people should give feedback properly

C.

the differences between good and bad feedback

D.

the importance of giving and receiving feedback

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping.She held up a white sweater and matching skirt."Do you like this?"she asked.

"It's great,''I said.Jenny nodded and continued looking whiIe I moved about,touching the beautiful clothes."I'll try this on."Jenny walked towards the dressing room.After a while,she came out in the outfit(一套衣服).She looked beautiful.

     I sighed.Part of me wanted to say how good she looked.but another part stopped the words coming out.Jenny was in such good shape that she'd look good in the outfit.Sometimes,I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty.God,why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look?More and more,I was envious(妒忌的)of her.

"Well,Teresa,what do you think?"Jenny asked more than once."Do you like it?''

     The outfit looked great on her,but I lied,"Not really.I think you need something with more colors.''

"You think so?"Jenny said doubtfully.

"Just believe me.We'll find something better,"I told her,pushing her back into the dressing room."You just can't buy the first thing you see."I did my best to get Jenny out of the store,away from that outfit.As we left,Jenny gave the sweater one last look.

     Just down the mall,we passed a yogurt place."My treat,''Jenny said,pulling out her wallet.

     I could never say no to chocolate,so we got some and sat down at a table.As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things,I thought about my feelings toward her.Those feelings weren't kind.

     Sitting there,                   Jenny was attractive(吸引人的)not just because of her good luck,but more because of her kindness.Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity.She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.

     Finishing our chocolate,we headed for the next clothing store."Look at that red sweater.''Jenny said as we passed the window."It would be perfect for you.Soon maybe you'll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that."

     A few minutes earlier,all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money.I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything,and they'd buy it for her.This time,though,I heard more.I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was.I needed to express the same to her.

Dear Died,

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.But as I chose add read,and chose add read again,it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together.I didn't think that you were too old.But the sad thing happened last week.I watched as you turned at the corner in your car.I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring,we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City,Iowa.This week,we'll plant carrots together again,perhaps for the last time but I hope not.I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me.Well,I don't quite know how to tell you this,dad …I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you.

I guess what am trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today.Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home,money or shares a dinner.It's more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone.It's about sharing.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and I wish that it would never end.

Lover,

Jenny.

Have you ever been in a conflict(冲突)?Do you know how to solve it?Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict.Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it.The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).

After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict,they discuss ways to solve it.They try to come up with a"resolution"that both sides agree to.They cannot be angry during the communication.Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking.If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry,the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect.After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict,it is time for

discussing the best solution(解决办法).

Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:

●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.

●The person who was accused as the"pusher"says it was actually an accident.

●The person who was pushed gets the mediator.

●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place,away from others to talk.

●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.

●Each person describes what happened

●The mediator repeats what he heard,so it is clear to everyone.

●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.

●The two persons offer their own solutions.

●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.

●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.

●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.

Conflict resolution can be used in many environments.It encourages people to tell what really happened,to share their feelings,and to work together peacefully to solve the problem.It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.

38.According to the passage,if two students have had a fight,they had better  

A.call the police

B.get a mediator

D.describe the fight to teachers

39.In conflict resolution,the mediator's job is to

D.write down what both sides have explained in the communication

40.The underlined words"was accused"in this passage might mean"  "in Chinese.

A.被惩罚

B.被轻视

C.被指责

D.被否定

41.The writer gives the example in the passage in order to  

A.show how a mediator works in a football match

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However,some viruses,for example,the coronavirus,are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases,like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur,and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple,safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses,mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work,telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like,and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile,B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different,but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine,the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them,it will try to kill them.The question is:without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them?That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe,it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine,the viruses are weakened,but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them,so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective,but there is a worry:what might happen once these viruses wake up?

Therefore,although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19,it can be better.

(1)The coronavirus can    .

A.

not be killed

B.

not be found

C.

cause deaths

D.

stop pandemic

(2)Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?    

A.

Vaccination can provide us with B cells.

B.

Vaccines are made from different viruses.

C.

Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.

D.

Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

(3)Compared to the inactivated vaccine,the live﹣attenuated vaccine    .

A.

needs taking more than once

B.

is equally safe

C.

contains viruses that are killed

D.

is more effective

(4)What can we learn from the passage?    

A.

Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.

B.

The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.

C.

The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.

D.

180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why?Some people think kindness is something out of love and care,while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate (激活)an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood (情绪).But why and how does it happen?Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation,people around may be smiling,too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain(链条)of good feelings to people around?

Secondly,being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly,charities(慈善)also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research,even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind,he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood,but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood,you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship,doesn't it?

(1)The writer lends in the topic by    .

A.

telling a story

B.

asking questions

giving examples

making a survey

Dogs may be man's best friends,but for Sisu,a stray dog,the unicorn(独角兽)is his best friend.

   Recently,Sisu broke into a store in North Carolina five times,trying to steal the same purple unicorn toy.But every time he got it,a salesman would find him,take the toy away and put it back on the shelf.When it turned out that Sisu wouldn't give up,the salesman had to lock the door and not let Sisu in,and then called Duplin County Animal Services for help.

   Samantha Lane,the officer who answered the call,was so moved by Sisu's love for the unicorn that she bought the $10 toy for the dog.

Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste,according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (联合国粮农组织).Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date,while families throw away food that they can't finish eating.

The world's first food bank was founded in the US in 1967.Some people and stores donated (捐赠) extra food to the bank.People could take the food home there if they didn't have money to buy any for themselves.In Shanghai,there is a "shared fridge" in some communities.It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell﹣by date is still safe to eat.They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes.You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.If you don't want to spend money,you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

What else can we do to stop food waste?The answer is simply buying less food.

It's a school holiday today. It's warm and the sun is shining.It's the perfect day for an outing. Zack,Vera, Kelly and Tim are discussing what they are going to do. Let's listen and see what happens…

    Zack: Hey you guys, it would be a shame to stay inside on a day like this. How about taking the bus to Stanley and going to the beach?

    Tim: [excitedly] That sounds great.

    Kelly:I'm in! But can we go to the mall first so I can get some suntan oil?

    Zack: [hesitantly(犹豫地)] Well, Kelly, I suppose we've got time…

    Vera: And we can stop off in Tsim Sha Tsui and get something to eat first.I'm sorry,but I don't think I'll be able to get anything good once we get there.

    Zack: I don't know, Vera ﹣it's already eleven o'clock..

    Tim: Actually, why don't we have a look at Stanley, Market before we go to the beach? The bus stops right in front of the market. I want to look for some casual shirts and trousers.

    Kelly: Oh, yes, Tim, let's do that.Maybe they have some trendy swim suits,and some jewellery…

   Zack: [to himself] This is really awful! [to the others] Look, I don't want to go to a restaurant or go shopping﹣I just want to go to the beach on a nice day. You all said you'd go with me, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. See you later.

[sound of a door opening and closing ]

    Vera: Somebody's not glad!

    Tim: Well, it was his idea to go out, after all.

    Kelly: Oh, dear, poor Zack. I'm going to call him.

[on the telephone] Hi, Zack? Look, just wait at the bus stop for me. I'm coming now. I won't go to the mall.

    Tim: Tell him I'm coming too. We don't need to stop at the market.

    Vera:[sighs(吸气)] Oh, all right. I can risk having lunch at the beach, I guess.

    Kelly:[on the telephone] Zack? We're all coming now. We should all enjoy this great day together.

[to the rest] OK, let's go. We shouldn't keep Zack waiting.

    Tim:[hurriedly] OK, come on, everybody…[fade]
