When I was young, I was very proud. I liked to show off in front of others. But after one unforgettable experience, I came to understand that it's important to be humble.

One day, my friend and I were riding our bikes in a park. I’d recently learned how to ride, so my mom asked me to wear some safety equipment（装备）.

“No, I won’t wear it!” I said, pointing at my friend’s elbows and knees, “She doesn’t wear it either!”

“It’s dangerous,” my friend said, “You need more practice.”

“I might have learned later than you, but I can ride even better!” I shouted.

She narrowed（眯起）her eyes and said, “Let’s wait and see!”

I saw a path leading into some woods. “I’ll race you!” I yelled. Then we rode towards the woods. However, the path wasn’t as smooth as I thought. I kept bumping（颠簸）up and down, and then suddenly...bam! I fell my elbows and knees bleeding. “Haha!” My friend made a face and helped me up. “Be more careful next time,” she said. Tears ran down my cheeks. “Sorry,” I said.

This experience made me understand that we must be modest. A fall into a pit（堑）, a gain in my wit（智）.

41. What were they doing that day?

44. What’s the matter with the writer?

C. She got lost in the park. D. She fell off the bike and got hurt.

C

Have you ever heard "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）?" It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true—the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence（影响）how that person treats you in the future.

What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have said your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed（形成）an opinion about the kind of person you are.

So how do you make a good first impression? Being polite and being well dressed is very important. However, the most important way of making a good first impression is your face. Smiling almost always leaves a positive（积极的）impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.

What's more, smiling and being positive helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress them with a cheerful smile.

46. What is the passage about?

A. Eating habits. B. Future dream.

C. The first impression. D. New inventions.

47. What can we learn about the first impression from Paragraph 2?

A. It comes very quickly. B. It is very strange.

C. It is very interesting. D. It is very meaningless

48. What is the most important to make a good first impression?

A. Smiling on face. B. Dressing nicely.

C. shaking hands. D. Writing beautifully.

49. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. There are many reasons to be happy.

C. Thinking of great people cheers you up. D. Being positive helps you find a way out.

50. What would be the best title of the text?

A. Manners leave deep impressions. B. The importance of the first impression.

C. Impressions decide who you are. D. The reasons for leaving impressions.

D

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U. S. A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now”. Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

51. What do we know about “How are you?” from Paragraph 1?

A. A real question to ask your friends.    B. A usual question without answers.

C. Another way of saying “Goodbye”.   D. A friendly way to greet each other.

52. How do you answer “Do you agree?” most politely according to Paragraph 2?

A. I disagree. B. You are wrong.

C. I’m not sure. D. Of course not.

53. Which of the following best explains “hang up” underlined in Paragraph 3?

A. 举起 B. 缠绕 C. 挂断 D. 悬吊

54. Which of the following is NOT true about how to reply politely?

A. Don’t show your disagreement too strongly. B. Give a real answer to any kind of questions.

C. Think twice when you want to say exactly. D. Please try to give a suitable excuse instead.

55. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Just say truly what you’re thinking. B. Try to be polite to each other.

C. Talking is to play games with others. D. Finish a talk with no excuse.

With Douyin, users can record videos and share them on line. It is very easy and interesting. We can ______62______ our videos with our friends with just a tap on the mobile phone screen. What’s more, it’s a great way ______63______ our free time by watching those fumy videos.

My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history.

______66______ You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.

To be honest, not everything that happened in the past is good. Some of them helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. ______68______

Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. And the decisions of our own generation（一代人）will finally influence those who come after us. ______69______

History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.

______70______ Or do you have any doubt（疑问）about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.

A. In this only way, the world is truly connected.

B. The mistakes of the past won’t help us.

C. Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing?

D. Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history.

E. It is too hard to understand the history.

F. People often learn from the past to have a better future.

G. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles.
