True courage

A teacher was very upset because some of his boys whistled （吹口哨）during school hours. At last he was so angry that he said he would punish anyone who whistled again.

The next morning, when the room was very quiet, a loud whistle was heard!

The students were very much surprised, and the teacher at once looked around to discover the offender （肇事者）.

The blame fell on a bad boy who was often a troublemaker. But he strongly denied （否认）the act, yet his words were not believed, for I am sorry to say he was not a truthful boy, so the teacher would bring him up for punishment.

Seeing what was about to take place, a thin little boy, about nine years old, who was off his seat anxiously.

“Do not punish John, sir,” he said to the teacher. "It was I who whistled. ”

"I was doing a long, hard sum （算术题），and in rubbing out another sum to make room for it, I rubbed out the difficult one by mistake. But before I remembered where I was, I had whistled right out, sir! ”

“I am very, very sorry, sir] I did not mean to whistle, but I cannot let John be punished for my fault. ”

The teacher said, “ Charles, you have done right. No one can doubt that you have spoken the truth, and that you did not whistle on purpose, so I cannot punish you, my boy."

Charles returned to his seat with a flushed face （脸红了），and even the youngest child in the school felt proud of him, for every student could see how bravely he had acted.

Charles was truly a brave boy. He had done that which he knew to be right, even though at the time it might have brought suffering upon himself.

True courage may also be shown by refusing to do that which we know to be wrong, though bad friends may laugh at us, and call us cowards, for saying No.

Olykoeks

Most people have eaten doughnuts. Have you ever wondered where the first doughnuts were made? Who thought up the idea of a fried pastry （油炸糕点）with a hole in the center?

No one knows for sure who made the first doughnuts.

Some people think that doughnuts probably began in the 1800s as Dutch "olykoeks" or “ oily cakes. " In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps （剩余物） of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soggy and uncooked in the center.

Some people say that the mother of a New England sea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soggy center with spices and nuts. But, Elizabeth's son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched （用力击）out the center, and the outcome was the first hole in a doughnut.

Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering （掌舵;驾 驶）his ship while trying to eat doughnuts. He asked the ship's cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the pegs of the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed pastries in Europe and brought the idea back to America with him.

During World War I, homesick American soldiers in Europe were served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called "Doughnut Girls. " They often worked near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets （头盔）and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.

In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnut recipes at home.

Today, doughnuts are available at markets, bakeries, and coffee shops. Most people have a favorite type. You might like sugar-glazed doughnuts, doughnuts dipped in chocolate, or doughnuts covered in sprinkles. Perhaps you prefer doughnuts that don't even have holes, like maple bars, twisted cinnamon, or jelly- filled doughnuts. Then again, when you go to the bakery, you might just like to eat the doughnut holes. Yum!

27. The first Dutch "olykoek" may have been invented because ____________.

A. cooks did not like to waste leftover food

B. some people did not like to eat the fried pastry

C. sea captains needed a way to eat while steering a ship

D. soldiers needed food that could be eaten during the war

A. worked on large ships

B. used helmets to cook doughnuts

C. worked in a dangerous conditions

Liu Qing hasn't slept well for months. Every day, the 13-year-old middle school student wakes up with dark circles around her eyes. She has lost interest in everything and doesn't want to talk to anyone. " Living like this is such a torture for me. I can't feel happy at all, ” Liu told Xinhua.

Liu is one of many who suffer from depression. According to World Health Organization（ WHO ）, about 264 million people around the world are affected by depression. In China, depression affects 54 million people and is one of the leading causes of suicide （自杀）. To bring this issue to people's attention, Zhang Nan, a photo studio owner in Wuhan, Hubei province, started a photo project called Crinkled Fog. Over the last three years, he has taken pictures of over 100 people struggling with mental health, mostly girls or women, aged 14 to 30.

“ Although things have been better with people talking openly about it nowadays, there are still misunderstandings about mental illness,” the 27-year-old told China Daily.

The 100th person Zhang spotlight （聚焦）for the series is a 23-year-old girl from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, nicknamed Yaya. She was diagnosed （诊断）with depression in 2013 during her first year in senior high school when her grandfather, who raised her, passed away.

Her parents, who do business in another city and only see her a few times a year, didn't take her struggle seriously and believed that depression is just like a cold and will go away on its own.

But for Yaya, it was painful. During her darkest period, she received electroconvulsive therapy （电休克治疗）10 times within six weeks.

Yaya applied for the photo shoot when she got better this year because she wanted to record the moment and tell people that they can recover.

Depression is, in fact, a real illness. "Just like your body, your moods can fall ill, too,” said Li Songwei, Tsinghua University assistant professor of psychology. “ When depression can be diagnosed, no matter how terrible it is, there are effective treatments."

“A major problem is that people are ashamed （羞耻）of the illness and don't seek professional help，'‘ Lu Lin, an expert of the China Academy of Sciences said.

"We must remove the stigma （污名）and the shame by actively and openly supporting our friends and family members who are experiencing depression，'‘ Bernhard Schwartlander, former WHO representative in China, told China Daily.

30. The word “torture” in Paragraph 1 probably means "___________.

A. anger    B. tiredness    C. pain    D. disappointment

31. Why did Zhang Nan start the photo project Crinkled Fog?

A. To encourage patients to see a doctor.

B. To draw people's attention of depression.

C. To provide scientific facts about depression.

D. To avoid misunderstandings about the illness.

32. The last paragraph tells us _________________.

A. that depression can be treated

B. why people are afraid of depression

C. what is the key problem of depression

D. how people should deal with depression

33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Stepping Into the Spotlight   B. Effective Treatment

C. Active Supporting     D. Experiencing a Dark Period

Eyesight in Danger

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision bluny （模糊的）,16-year- old Sun Run went to the hospital with her parents in January, 2021. She was shocked （震惊的）when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5. 0 to 4. 6 in only a semester. " A few of my friends have had the same experience lately，" Sun said.

In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59. 2 percent to 70. 6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.

To protect students9 eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school supplies and equipment （供给 和设备）that will take effect on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students9 textbooks should be no smaller than nine- point （小五号）.

Teachers should also avoid using projectors （投影仪）or other multimedia equipment that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported.

There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible.

Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells （感光细胞）we need for vision, according to Harvard Medical School. Many of the electronic devices we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.

Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students9 eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission urged （要求）schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

Why is this happening?

By 2050, half of the world's population （ nearly 5 billion） will be nearsighted （近视），according to a study published in the journal Ophthalmology. The main reason for this is that people's lifestyles have changed. They spend less time outdoors and more time looking at screens. TEENS reported.

34. Why was Sun Run shocked?

35. When will the new requirements take effect?

36. According to the requirements, what should the teachers do?

37. What is the main reason for causing nearsightedness?

38. What does the writer want to tell us?
