I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness,but when it came to actually putting the letter into the mail box,I(16) .I couldn't do it.I suddenly felt a sense of (17)and insecurity.
The letter was to an old teacher with whom 1 kept in(18)on Facebook.For months,I read about what she(19) on her Facebook page,which helped me to live my life differently.Her volunteer work wasn't huge.(20)，she was doing small,local good deeds.Gradually,she(21)my views on the world and for some reason,I felt I should let her know how her example(22) influenced me.
I could have easily sent her an email,but that seemed not enough for such an important thank-you.That's why I ended up(23)the letter.But now here I was,standing before the mailbox,unable to put the envelope inside.What was stopping me？It suddenly hit me that I was(24)of being too nice.I guess I felt strange(25)it was not like she was my best friend or a relative.Maybe my(26)was too sincere.Thinking this over,however,I put the envelope in the mailbox(27).
Weeks later I received a message from her.It turned out she was(28) a tough time and my note(29) a lot to her.She said she had no idea she was playing such an important(30)in others' life.
Not only did this letter make her happier,but her response to it brightened my world and(31)my level of happiness as well.I was(32) that it had such a great influence on her that I decided to write a（n）(33)letter to someone each month.Now it's easier for me to(34) the goodness in others and be more(35) for this beautiful life I'm living. A. continued B. started C. hesitated D. thought A. power B. disappointment

Wrong Habits
Many myths related to sleep can be quite damaging for our health.Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously claimed that she only hit the sack（就寝）for five hours a night.But according to experts this is harmful to health.
Likewise,falling asleep in front of the TV is another thing to avoid.The bright lights can prevent you from entering deep sleep.
Wrong Ways to Help Go to Sleep
From a young age we're told to count sheep to help us to nod off,with some choosing to stay in bed to battle with insomnia（失眠）.However,some experts advise getting up and doing something mindless,like folding socks,to help us get in the mood to catch forty winks.
Psychologist Seth J.Gillihan PhD recommends walking to help in the battle against insomnia.He talks about a sleep study published in the journal Sleep Health which suggests that those who walk slightly more will experience better quality and duration（持续时间）of sleep.Watching what you eat or drink can also improve the amount of REM，or rapid eye movement you experience.
Snoring（打鼾） Can be dangerous
If you're a snorer,you might also want to take note.While most breathing noisily is harmless,it could be a sign of sleep apnoea,（睡眠呼吸暂停）with people suffering from the condition more likely to have strokes or heart attacks,irregular heartbeats or high blood pressure.
A Short Sleep during the Day May Refresh You
Finally,a decent nap,or even a power nap,can help you to be more alert,calm and focused.So while there are some good tips like exercising or folding socks to help us get a good night's sleep,sometimes a good afternoon's sleep can help us deal with the day ahead.Why do some people still feel tired and sleepy in spite of having a good night sleep according to the passage？ ______ A. They have slept for too long.
B. Their sleeping quality needs improving.
C. Their dream should be nice and happy.
D. Corona-virus lockdown makes them depressed.Which fact is Not true？ ______ A. Hitting the sack is bad for health.
B. Five hours is not enough for people to keep fit.
C. The bright lights of TV will stop people sleep soundly.
D. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher didn't have a healthy sleeping habit.The author will agree that ______ .A. Snoring will one hundred percent result in damage to people's health.
B. When one is sleepy,quick eye movements increase.
C. A decent nap will affect your night sleep.
D. Taking exercise may do good to your afternoon sleep.You may read this passage in ______ .A. a psychology text book
B. a medical essay collection
C. a health and care section in a newspaper
D. an advertising leaflet in a drug storeRWilliam Purkey,a well-known professor of education,said,"Dance like no one is watching,love like you'll never be hurt,sing like no one is listening,and live like it's heaven on earth." It seems like the perfect life philosophy-- and one I've learned to apply to running over the year.
But I didn't always feel this way,In my early days,when I weighed 240 pounds,I ran like everyone was watching and judging.If I was on a run and saw a car approaching,I'd stop and pretend I was looking for something I'd lost.I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner.And I didn't have a clue if the expensive shoes I was wearing were the right kind for me --I just wanted to look like I fit in with this group.
To be honest,I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching.I really thought that other people cared about my performance.The best example of this was a combined,two-lap marathon in Florence,Italy.As I approached the finishing line,the crowd began to cheer.I was surprised.Here I was,thousands of miles from home,and the Italians were shouting for "Ⅱpenguino."
About 20 yards from the finishing,the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon.No one was cheering for me.No one probably even noticed that I was finishing.I couldn't help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.
That's when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one.I ran to make other people happy,ran to live up to their expectations.But no one was watching --no one cared.So I decided I was going to run for me,just me,and gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadn't truly experienced yet.I've learned to run like no one is watching.
So if you see me at race,and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling（蹒跚）along,don't worry.I'm fine.The miracle isn't that I finished.The miracle is that I had the courage to start.The writer begins the passage by ______ .A. telling his running story B. explaining a life philosophy
C. introducing quotations D. listing some life rulesIt can be inferred from paragraph 2 that the writer ______ .A. used sports clothes and shoes to attract attention
B. was concerned about what others thought of her
C. liked to be the focus of other runners
D. struggled to find the right shoes to fit herWhen the writer was near the finishing line, ______ .A. she smiled at her own achievement
B. the crowd cheered for her madly
C. nobody really cared about her running
D. she realized the importance of confidence.Now the writer thought that running is to ______ .A. live up to others expectation
B. create a miracle in her own life
C. run like no one is watching
D. enjoy the pleasure of runningBy telling her own story,the writer wanted to ______ .A. tell us to live a life of our own
B. inspire more people to run
C. expect us to improve our health by running
D. stress the importance of determinationWhat does the underlined word "illusion" mean in the 4th paragraph？ ______ A. misconception B. expectation C. fear D. admirationSKindergarten represents a crucial environment in which children develop school-related skills and patterns of engagement.They form the basis for the development of later competence which is important for academic success.As for later academic skills,kindergarten achievements have been found to have great predictive value.
Given the long-lasting effects that kindergarten experiences have on later schooling,it is important to understand the factors associated with children's learning and motivation during this time.The quality of teacher-student interaction has been found to be important in terms of many different academic and socio-emotional outcomes.However,much of the previous work in the field has focused on children in later grades in elementary school and has been conducted in the United States.Fewer studies have been conducted in other educational environments and in kindergarten specifically.
Some researchers investigated bidirectional links between the quality of teacher-child relationships and children's interest and pre-academic skills in literacy and math in Finland.Participants were 461 Finnish kindergarteners （6-year-olds） and 48 teachers.
The results indicated that teacher-perceived（教师感知的）conflicts predicted children's lower pre-academic skills in both literacy and math.It is possible that when children experience conflicts with teachers,the negative emotions attached to these conflicts are harmful to children's engagement in learning and curtail their interest in academic tasks.It's also possible that children experiencing conflicts are missing out on time for learning literacy and math,either because they become separated from instructional activities or because teachers have to spend more instructional time on behavioral management.
The findings highlight the importance of kindergarten teachers being aware of how their relationships with children can influence children's later schooling.Therefore,it would be important to develop pre-service and in-service programs and interventions to help teachers.Teacher education programs may also benefit teachers not only in academic content and peda-gogical（教育学的）practices but also in strategies used to build supportive relationships with children.What do we learn about kindergarten achievements？ ______ A. They're closely related to kids' personalities.
B. They greatly affect kids' later academic skills.
C. They largely depend on the teachers' competence.
D. They're mainly about kids' problem-solving abilities.From Paragraph 2，we know that the quality of teacher-student interaction in kindergarten ______ .A. has drawn little attention from researchers
B. has been considered very important by teachers
C. has resulted from specific educational environments
D. has formed the basis of many good socio-emotional outcomesWhat does the underlined word "curtail" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ ______ A. Develop. B. Maintain. C. Reduce. D. Assess.What's the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph？ ______ A. To promote the educational programs among kindergarten teachers.
B. To explain the benefits of carrying out pedagogical practices.
C. To call on kids to build up good relationships with teachers.
D. To highlight the importance of kindergarten teachers.What does the text mainly talk about？ ______ A. The significance of developing kids' school-related skills.
B. The necessity of improving teachers' academic competence.
C. The ways of reducing teacher-student conflicts in kindergarten.
D. The influence of teacher-student interaction in kindergarten on kids.TAn article caught my attention this week.It claims that few parents these days tend to hire neighborhood teens to watch their kids.In fact,the article states that the average age of babysitters（代人临时照看小孩的人）in the UK has risen from 14 to 34 over the past several decades.
I worked as a teenage babysitter for years.At that time,I took up those jobs as they were economic to do so,but now I see them as valuable experiences.The article reminded me of just how significantly babysitting influenced my worldview and my approach to parenting.It made me think that more teens should be involved in babysitting because it really does prepare them for life in a way that few other things can.
Babysitting makes everyone's life easier.I gained many practical skills adapting to children.I discovered that the outdoor activities are the best way to wear out high-energy children and that reading books aloud is an excellent way to pass the time and that music makes an instant party.Babysitting reveals how other households operate.This is a fascinating,invaluable lesson.I had great conversations with the parents of children I babysat.Some parents introduced me to their favorite music,described their own jobs and interests,and showed curiosity about my schoolwork and life goals.
In a society where families are increasingly isolated（孤立的） from each other,where children are no longer raised by a "village" or community of caring individuals,hiring a teenage babysitter is a simple way to bridge that gap and it also gives that teen a chance to gain some independence.The next time you're having a date night with your partner,don't hesitate to call on that teen down the street and offer him or her a job.It could be the best thing for all of you.What is the common phenomenon of babysitting in the UK？ ______ A. The adults' having difficulty watching over their kids.
B. The youth's lack of interest in babysitting.
C. The increasing average age of babysitters.
D. The rising demand for babysitters.Why did the author choose to be a babysitter in the past？ ______ A. To make money.
B. To gain social experiences.
C. To learn how to get along with others.
D. To encourage more teenagers to be babysitters.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？ ______ A. To state the benefits of babysitting.
B. To reveal the kindness of some parents.
C. To share her experiences of babysitting.
D. To show how other households operate.What does the author suggest that parents do in the last paragraph？ ______ A. Create harmonious community culture.
B. Spend more time at home with their kids.
C. Encourage their kids to be more independent.
D. Offer opportunities of babysitting to teenagers.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？ ______ A. How to be a qualified babysitter？
B. Does babysitting still make money？
C. What can you learn from babysitting？
D. Is hiring teenage babysitters out of date？It is said that a person's high school years are some of the most important they will experience,and are often seen as a critical and life-shaping time.I couldn't agree more.
My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs，whether it was social or academic.Even though my current high school was not my first choice,I never regretted attending Southside High School. "Since you have chosen it,then it is the best for you," said my parents.
Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities（能力）as a student.Being in the IB Program,I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school.With this "little" piece of information,I walked into my junior year,scared of my grades.As weeks went by,I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said,but I was wrong.My grades were rapidly declining and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes!I could not believe it—I did not want to believe it.I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone,but my pride just made my grades worse.And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year：States.I was heartbroken.I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own,so I had to get help fast.
Once I got a tutor,my grades went from Cs,Ds,and even some Fs,to nothing but As and Bs.I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself.By the time the third and fourth quarter came around,I had been on the honor roll twice,and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates,tennis and school.
Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me.I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.(1) What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2？（no more than 5 words） ______ (2) How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year？（no more than 5 words） ______ (3) Why were the writer s grades rapidly declining？（no more than 10 words） ______ (4) What important lesson has the writer learned at Southside High School？（no more than 10 words） ______ (5) What do you think of your high school life？Please give your reason.（no more than 25 words） ______ 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你的美国笔友Chris 正在学习汉语，他得知"中国诗词大会"在CCTV播出，非常感兴趣，便写信给你，希望你介绍相关情况及更多了解中国文化的途径。请根据以下提示给他写一封回信。
