At an early time,a paper ticket was necessary even for passengers who bought tickets online.But now people are saying goodbye to paper tickets.

Passengers can swipe(刷)an ID card to pass through a gate before taking a high﹣speed train. "It's very convenient and fast, "said Wu Yuanzhen,a passenger from Guangxi. "I am a business man and travel a lot by train.For us,time is money.E﹣tickets save time and improve travel efficiency(效率). "

For passengers who need to change or return their tickets,they can change the tickets or get their fund(退款) through 12306.cn or the ticket office at the station.

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

Most children are taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from stories.The well﹣known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth.Every time Pinocchio lies,his nose grows longer and longer.Another story is about the boy who"cried wolf." In the end,he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times.These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still,if thisis the case,then why do so many people lie?The fact is that people lie for many reasons.

One reason people lie is to minimize (减少) a mistake.While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time,some people do not have the courage to admit their errors (错误) because they are afraid they will be blamed.For example,students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework.They might say that they left the work at home when,in fact,they did not do the work at all.These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible,so they make up an excuse﹣ a lie﹣ to save face.

Another reason for lying has to do with self﹣protection.Parents,particularly those with young children,may teach their children to use this type of"protective" lie in certain circumstances (状况).What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out?Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time.In this situation,protective lying can mean greater safety.

People lie for many reasons,both good and bad.Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results.However,lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end.Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

(1)What does the underlined word"this" refer to in the passage?    

A.

Honesty is the best policy.

B.

The well﹣known story of Pinocchio.

C.

The story of the boy who"cried wolf".

(2)Why do some children lie to their teachers?    

A.

Because they like making up an excuse.

B.

Because they have left the homework at home.

C.

Because they are afraid to be blamed at school.

(3)How does the writer explain why people tell lies?    

A.

By asking questions.

B.

By giving examples.

C.

By showing the results.

(4)What is the correct structure of the passage? (P﹣paragraph 1)    

A.

B.

C.

(5)What's the best title for the passage?    

A.

The Truth behind Lying.

B.

The Types of Lies.

C.

When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers (尿布). A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.

Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers' market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested(收获)with no man-made additions.

There are several ways in which farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers' markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit(信用)cards or checks (支票)as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers' markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.

Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers' markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food. Those who value convenience and(多样)will probably choose to shop at a grocery store. People who value freshness and enjoy supporting local farmers will probably prefer the farmers' markets.

"I have no special talent.I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success.When Newton discovered gravity,and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb,their curiosity was greatly satisfied.If they hadn't been curious,what a loss for humans!

    There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity (求知欲)contributes to school performance more than intelligence.Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long ﹣ term level of learning and memory,and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.

    It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged.Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity,most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food,our brain looks for knowledge.People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.

    An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure﹣related chemical when it has been given new information ,making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity.Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.However,how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.

    Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity,including scientific curiosity,more research should be carried on in this field.It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity.And remember even though the idiom says "Curiosity kills the cat",it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.

(1)What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us?   

A.The importance of being curious.

B.The advice from successful people.

C.The reason why humans keep curious.

D.The relationship between curiosity and efforts.

A.It often requires long﹣term training.

B.It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.

D.Students born smart often have stronger intellectual curiosity.

(3)Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity?   

A.Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.

B.It is natural and common among humans and animals.

C.It is often related to some adventurous activities.

D.Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.

(4)What does the author mean in the last paragraph?   

A.Curiosity takes many different forms.

B.People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.

C.Curiosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.

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?

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?
