On Monday afternoon, I was very tired after work and just wanted to get home as quickly as possible to be with my family. I waited for my bus as usual at the bus station. Suddenly my attention was caught by a little girl.

She was sitting all alone on a bench (长椅), as all the busy travelers rushed around her. She didn't move. Most travelers were in such a big hurry that they didn't notice her at all. I was one of the travelers but I couldn't leave this little girl alone, who was no older than my own daughter. I didn't see her parents anywhere.

So I walked up to the girl. "Hello," I said. “Are you all right?"

The little girl didn't even look up at me. I gently sat down next to her and touched her shoulder. The moment she lifted her head, I noticed that she was crying. I felt terrible!

I held out my hand. The girl seemed afraid, but she took my hand and let me lead her to the bus station information desk with not clear words. I explained the situation to the security guard (保安). He then made an announcement (通知) over the speakers. “Attention, please! A young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter, please come immediately!”

A couple of minutes later, a woman came toward the desk. As soon as she saw the little girl, she shouted and ran up to her. She held her in her arms tightly, saying “I am here, Andrea. Everything is okay. I love you, honey."

Then she turned to me. “Thank you so much, sir," she said. “We got separated in the crowd earlier. My daughter is deaf, so I didn't make an announcement over the speakers for her. I was looking for her everywhere. I was so worried!"

I understood why the little girl did not look at me until 1 touched her shoulder. I was happy that I offered a hand. It must have been very scary for little Andrea and her mother! I am a father. I know how important it's to love and help all children.

24. How did the man feel when he saw the little girl crying?

While many people see chores as necessary pains, there are science-based reasons to change your thoughts about chores. It turns out that doing chores is not always in the ways that you might think.

As researchers state here in a study, doing tasks which don't need a lot of effort allows the mind to float around where it will. Your mind gets a break and allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, effortless tasks create more great ideas than difficult tasks or just resting. So, doing chores can lead to creative problem-solving.

Chores are exercise snacks for health. The phrase “exercise snacks" refers to small, even tiny, pieces of physical activity, such as standing for a few minutes after sitting for a while, taking a two-minute walk, or doing a chore like sweeping up the kitchen. Researchers have studied the effects of exercise snacks ranging (范围) from 30 seconds, like walking up a flight of stairs, to 10 minutes, like washing dishes. Some of the health effects include improved memory, reduced risk of some serious diseases, and longer life.

Chores are related to our mental (心理的) health. Completing chores increases your sense of self-efficacy, known as a person's belief that they have the ability and skills to reach their goals. Self-efficacy, which was first developed by Professor Albert Bandura in the 1970s, has been shown to increase confidence, low self-efficacy is connected with worries, sadness and hopelessness, while higher self-efficacy is connected with life satisfaction, self-confidence, social connection and growth mindset (思维).

Doing chores can reduce stress. A small study from Florida State University explored whether the chore of dish washing could reduce stress. Using a group of 51 students, they discovered that dishwashers who were asked to be mindful when washing dishes focusing on the smell of the soap, the warmth of the water. and the feel of the dishes- reported a decrease in nervousness by 27 percent and an increase in mental inspiration by 25 percent. Chores that reduce the mess can also reduce stress.

So if you've been thinking about cleaning out that junk drawer, do it. You'll receive more.

27. The writer may agree that we can _______ by doing chores.

A. get less social

B. live a better life

C. become more inventive

D. change ways of exercises

28. What can we learn from the passage?

A. We need to eat snacks after sweeping up the kitchen.

B. We can get a sense of achievement by doing chores.

C. Using the soap when washing dishes increases efficacy.

D. Doing chores every day decreases the creative thinking.

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

A. The Course of Doing Chores

B. The Benefits of Doing Chores

C. The Methods for Doing Chores

D. The Science about Doing Chores

D

Life can be wonderful, but in reality, it isn't always so, no matter how hard you try. Some good things may happen completely by chance, but it mostly depends on the effort you put in. And what about bad things? The fact of living means you' I1 go through hard times, you won't always get what you want, and you'll need resilience to get through it.

Resilience is the ability to adapt (适应) to difficult conditions in a positive way. Resilient people are those who can become stronger by dealing with adversity. But resilience is more than just “seeing the good side of things". It involves, among other things, being able to effectively control our emotions. This will allow you to face and overcome difficult situations. Another great thing about resilience is that you're not born with a limited ability for it. Instead it develops throughout your life as you interact with your environment.

To improve your resilience, you need to know which factors (因素) influence it, both personal and environmental. That way, you can work on each factor and learn how to adapt to adversity in a positive way.

First of all, you have to accept what has happened. Obviously, this doesn't just happen immediately after an unlucky event. It's a step-by-step process that comes with time and often, the help of an experienced expert.

Next, it's important to be able to see the good side of the situation. In other words, be positive-just don't forget to be realistic. You shouldn't just focus on the negative things and forget about the positive, but you also shouldn't raise the positive to an impossible level.

Lastly, having a sense of humor can help to improve your resilience hugely. Being able to laugh at yourself or the situation is a worthwhile tool that helps you adapt to different adversities.

On top of personal factors, there are also environmental factors that influence your ability to improve your resilience. When you're going through a difficult situation, having specialized help can speed up the process of adaptation. Your social support system makes a difference as well. Being able to depend on your family, partners, and friends is an invaluable resource.

It's important to keep all these factors in mind when you're presented with difficult conditions. It's normal to struggle (挣扎) at first, but nobody is born knowing how to adapt. The key is to know which tools to use to improve your resilience and grow from everything you’ve been through. As a result, you can get up again when you fall!

30. You most probably need resilience when _______.

A. you get the chance to perform in a school play

B. you come back from a trip with your classmates

C. you receive a postcard from your sister in the UK

D. you try to make up for your mistake in a soccer game

31. The underlined word “adversity" in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A. unimportant matters

B. powerful emotions

C. unpleasant situations

D. different relationships

32. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Controlling our emotions is required to go through difficult times.

B. Specialized help is a lasting resource for our family and friends.

C. Being positive lets us focus on the good side and forget the bad side.

D. Laughing at ourselves enables us to improve the sense of humor hugely.

33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage us to improve resilience by using proper tools.

B. To compare personal and environmental factors of resilience.

C. To tell the meaning of resilience and is influence on teenagers.

D. To show us some possibilities created by improving resilience.

四、阅读表达(34-36题每题2分,37题4分，共10分)

In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there's a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get." The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.

A blind box toy is hidden inside some common package. Which cannot be seen from the outside. You don't know what will be inside exactly, although the toys mostly come from pop culture, ranging a blind box from movies to cartoons.

Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.

According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The cute cartoon figurines (公仔,手办) come in small sizes, making them suitable lo be presented on shelves.

Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It's the most important reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.

“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process," said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said, “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside."

However, someone gives a different voice. “With blind boxes, I never know exactly what I'll get. I would feel disappointed if I didn't get what I was hoping for or got the same one I already have, which was also a waste of money," said Matthew, 18, who studies in a senior high school.

Love it or hate it, opening a blind box is a little surprise for our daily lives. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but they always hope for a better result.

When someone remakes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, "Life is like a blind box ...”

34. What are blind box toys bringing to online shopping?

35. Who are the main group of customers for blind boxes?

36. How would Matthew feel if he didn't get the blind box he hoped for?

37. What do you think of buying blind boxes? Why do you think so?
