When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything 1 did, including playing volleyball.
1 decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon 1 began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me.
She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn't listen to her when she tried to make me eat. I was angry and hurt and she was suspicious and worried. We fought constantly. Then my malnourishment (营养不良) started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn't make me stop, and Walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended the volleyball dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably mined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as 1 was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, "Lynn Jones, how are you doing?" I looked up and saw the familiar face. "Thanks for the letter," she said. "It meant a lot."
When I think of a coach, l think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction -- not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn't deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.
24. How did the author feel when she ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness?

C. A Strict Volleyball Coach D. My Way of Losing Weight

It is a great, big, wide-open sky over our heads, but when you are flying in a jet airliner at 600 miles an hour, the sky is not so big. That's part of the reason why, in the first four months of this year, the government said only 72 percent of all flights arrived on time, the lowest number since the recent system of reporting began in 1995.
The runways are full, the planes are jammed, and air traffic controllers complain they're stressed out. And the radar systems that keep things going are, in large part, technology of the 1960s. "It's like driving down the road with a paper bag over your head, and you're trying to stay out of the way of other cars," says Captain Karen Lee, a 747 pilot who heads operations for UPS, the delivery service.
At its center in Louisville, UPS is experimenting with the next generation in air traffic control: planes guided by the satellites of the Global Positioning System, instead of radar.
Though it has advanced greatly over the years, radar is a technology that dates back to the second World War . It scans the sky, looking for signals from planes in the air. Typically, air traffic radar only updates a plane's position once every 12 seconds or so--and in 12 seconds, a jet can move two miles or make a turn. What's more, radar signals can be blocked by storms or mountains. But with GPS signals, pilots can see in real time exactly where they are, and where other planes are, too. A readout screen in the cockpit ( 驾驶舱) tells the pilots what's around them.
"What we end up with is a very exact location for each aircraft in the system," said Basil Barimo of the Air Transport Association, which represents airlines.
28.According to the passage, we know that .
A.the sky over our heads is becoming smaller B.the condition of air traffic is terrible now
C.the service of air companies is quite bad D.fewer and fewer planes are in the sky
29.The planes are jammed, mainly because .
A.the number of planes is increasing too fast
B.the control system hasn't kept up with the development of air traffic
C.there is not enough room for so many planes in the sky
D.the weather has become worse these years
30.What kind of air control system will be used instead of radar?
A.The Global Positioning System. B.A more advanced radar system.
C.A new unusual satellite. D.A readout screen in the cockpit.
31.Which of the following is a disadvantage of the radar system?
A .It can only update a plane’s position once every 12 minutes.
B.Its signals may not be received because of certain reasons.
C.The cost of radar is higher than the cost of the Global Positioning System.
D.Nothing can be done to improve the air traffic condition

China's livestreaming e-commerce industry has witnessed explosive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus creating new growth opportunities for a wide range of businesses.
Cao lei, director of the E-Commerce Research Center at the Internet Economy Institute, said that while most e-commerce platforms have now hit bottlenecks in finding new customers, livestreaming provides an important channel for them to tap into customers living in fourth and fifth-tier cities as well as rural areas.“What's more, livestreaming allows hosts to answer call-in questions from digital audiences in real time, which will improve shopping experiences and attract more netizens to shop online," Cao added.
The number of people likely to watch livestreaming e-commerce events is 388 million in 2020. The typical livestreaming e-commerce session involves celebrities promoting and selling goods while answering questions from an online audience, with everything taking place in real time via devices such as smartphones.
Livestreaming is increasingly gaining popularity as a new online shopping platform among Chinese netizens, creating a huge market worth more than 970 bilion yuan ( $ 149.9 bilion) in 2020. E-commerce giant Alibaba's Taobao Live has taken the lion's share of livestreaming, as 68.5 percent of consumers use the service, according to a survey conducted by the China Consumers Association. Douyin and Kuaishou have taken second and third spots, respectively. Other large Chinese Internet and e-commerce players like JD．com have also thrown their hats into the ring.
Livestreaming has become a key means for brands to gain awareness and boost sales, and for smaller operators such as farmers to have better access to consumers, especially during the pandemic period.
32.What contributes to better shopping experiences in livestreaming?
A.Discount price of products.
B.Participation of some popular guests.
C.Convenience to buy goods at any place.
D.Interaction between hosts and customers.

33.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?

35．Which company ranks the second in livestreaming in China now?
A.Douyin B.Taobao Live

If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36 .So challenge the following limits:
Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.
If you're a salesman, and you're seated of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37 .But don't stop on the fast try! Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"

M: Hey. What are you doing this weekend? (8)
W: I don’t have any plans. Why?
M: I am going to my uncle’s small house in the countryside. It will be fun. You should come.
W: I’d love to. Who else is going?
M: My brother and his girlfriend are coming. (9)
W: What will we do up there?
M: We will cook dinner, play games, and enjoy the scenery. The air is really fresh, and at night, you can see a lot of stars.
W: How far is it from the city?
M: It is 50 kilometers from the city. You should also invite your cousin Jim.
W: OK. I will ask him later.

W: Hello, may I help you?
M: Yes, I’m here to see Dr. Fugazi.
W: Do you have an appointment? (10)
M: Yes, I called yesterday. (10)The name is Bernelli.
W: Oh, I see. You have an 11 o’clock appointment for this morning. (11)
M: That’s right. I’m 15 minutes early, I guess. (11)
W: No problem, Mr. Bernelli. Please take a seat and fill out these forms. We’ll call you in a few minutes.
M: These are the same forms I filled out last week. Do I have to fill them all out again?
W: You can just put your name and ID number on the top, (12) and we’ll get the rest of the information from our computer.
M: OK, thanks.

M: Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me.
W: What can I do for you?
M: Well, I’ve been working on a paper these days. I found a few books I need at the main library, but I was told that the library here at the graduate school has even more information. (13)
W: Yes. We have a large number of journals. We also have quite a few newspapers and videos.
M: I think some journals are enough. How can I find out which journals you have? (14)
W: I can give you a list of all of them. But if you want to search by author or by subject, you can use one of the computers over there in the corner. (15) You can also search for all outside books just by typing your request into the computer.
M: You mean you can get books from other universities?
W: Not only from other universities, but from almost any public or private library in the United States. The only problem is that outside books cannot be checked out. (16)

memorial service: 追悼会
I cry whenever I think of a memorial service I attended in Iraq.
每当我想起在伊拉克出席的一次追悼会，我都会忍不住落泪。
请在那家咖啡店前靠边停车！
Hello, and welcome to today’s BBC evening news radio. Our top story is a sad one. Sparky, the famous fire department dog, died today in the line of duty. Sparky and his human partner Joel were walking down Maple Street when they spotted a building on fire. Joel and Sparky ran to the building to help. Joel heard the cries of a woman inside the building, (17) so he ran inside to save her. Sparky followed Joel into the building. Joel could hear the woman crying, but he couldn’t find her because of all the smoke from the fire. (18) It was Sparky who was finally able to find the woman. Sparky led Joel and the woman out, (20)but Sparky suddenly ran back into the building. The fire was too hot for Joel to go back inside, (19) and he shouted at Sparky to come back. A few moments later, Sparky came out of the building pulling something behind him. It was a baby.(20)Sparky was able to save the baby’s life, but the furry hero died from serious injuries just after coming out of the burning building. The whole neighborhood is expected to come to Sparky’s memorial service to be held tomorrow morning.
