Several years ago when I was in Grade Seven, I was very excited to be selected for a district level basketball tournament(锦标赛). I thought I would score the most points and everyone would praise me. I thought that I would score the last basket for my team, winning the game, and then everyone would praise me. I thought about many situations like that, and I thought that I would be famous because of my act of heroism. I was very overconfident.

There was one week left until the tournament and I trained hard. The day before the tournament, there was a practice game between our team members. It was just a practice in which I helped my team win by scoring most of our points. Now everyone had faith in me that I would help my team win.

The next day it came time for the game to begin. All my team members passed the ball to me again and again, but I only scored two baskets. The game was coming to an end and, as one of our opponents(对手) was trying to shoot the ball, Ted, my teammate, jumped high in the air and stopped the ball. He passed me the ball, and I thought my dream was about to come true—the winning of the game was in my hands. I was not able to contain(抑制) my excitement and ran down the court to shoot the ball. Because of my carelessness, I fell down and an opposing(对方的) player took the ball. We lost the game. Everybody looked at me with sharp eyes and I was unable to show my face to anyone.

On that day, I realized that sometimes what we thought would not get done in real. We want to be heroes, but our overconfidence can cause failure.

24．When I played basketball for my team like a hero, I would be ________.

A．lucky B．famous C．excited D．overconfident

25．I trained ________ when there was one week left until the tournament.

A．hard B．alone C．early D．carefully

26．We lost the game because of my ________.

A．heroism B．difficulty C．nervousness D．carelessness

Highly productive people have certain habits that other people don’t. How are they getting so much done and achieving their purposes? We all want success, but what are we doing wrong? Here are a few habits you really need to avoid if you want to be highly productive.

Not seeing the bigger picture

Starting with the end in mind can help you to imagine what you are trying to create. When you can see the bigger picture, you can begin to break the course down in steps to see exactly how you’re going to get there. Thinking of the end helps you keep your eye on the prize, especially when you get less confident.

Working without priorities (优先事项)

When deciding what steps to take to reach the end, highly productive people don’t waste time on details that influence the course. Make your path simple. Pay attention to what is important.

Procrastination (拖延症)

Though it is true, it can be the hardest thing. If we wait for the right time, it may take us a very long time to finally feel confident to begin something. Many things can pull us away from starting our project.

Working long hours without breaks

You can’t do your best job if you’re very tired. If you take care of yourself, you are better prepared to be in top form to do the job at hand. According to studies, the ability to give attention becomes weaker after about an hour, and then you will become less productive. So if you’re tired, don’t work harder. You need at least a 15-minute break to give your brain a rest and be ready to do more of your best work.

Listening to people who say “no”

Never be limited by other people. Highly productive people are not prevented by difficulty and other people’s ideas about what they’re doing. They find a way to get started, and they find a way not to give up.

27．What does the underlined word “productive” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．实际的 B．繁忙的 C．乐观的 D．高效的

28．To be productive, you should avoid ________.

A．starting with the end in your mind B．keeping your eye on important things

C．waiting for the right time to get started D．paying no attention to what others think

29．Which can help do your best work when you are tired?

A．Try the hardest project. B．Spend a quarter resting.

C．Work harder than before. D．Spend more time on details.

Want to fall asleep fast? Read a book before going to bed. It is at the top of most lists if you ask the Internet for tips for falling asleep. But why does reading make us so sleepy?

“For many, reading can be relaxing and enjoyable. It can put your mind and body in the right mood to go to sleep,” says Raman Malhotra. He is an expert at the Washington University Sleep Center. Of course, that’s if you’re reading something relaxing. According to Dr. Malhotra, reading anything that could make you too excited probably isn't good for relaxing.

Making it a habit to read every night before bed might make reading even more helpful for your sleep. This is because having a regular “relaxing time” before bed can help improve your sleep. “Adding a bedtime routine of 15 to 30 minutes can separate your ‘sleep time’ from activities that can cause excitement,” says Dr. Malhotra.

Moreover, reading tires your eyes out. This happens with both paper books and e-books, but Dr. Malhotra recommends paper books.

“Most of the digital readers send out blue light,” and this light can cause our body’s internal clocks (生物钟) to not work correctly, he says. “This will make it more difficult for us to fall asleep.”

That blue light is why doctors advise you not to spend time using your phone too close to your bedtime. Besides, if you’re reading on a phone, you may easily end up opening up other apps and staying up late.

On the other hand, sometimes you’re trying to finish a book but are having a hard time staying awake through it. In this case, Dr. Malhotra suggests trying a brighter light. You can also sit straight, or make sure the room isn’t too warm. If you do get really tired, though, it’s probably a sign that you need some rest.

Reading might not be the best sleep aid (辅助物) for everyone, but if you’ve been experiencing some trouble recently, it might be worth having a try.

30．According to Malhotra, what may be the result of reading exciting books before bed?

A．Being awake. B．Being hungry. C．Being tired. D．Being Angry.

31．Why are paper books recommended by Dr. Malhotra?

A．To advise people to stay up reading.

B．To encourage people to love reading.

C．To get more money by selling paper books.

D．To stop people being influenced by blue lights.

32．What does Dr. Malhotra advise people to do when they are tired of reading?

A．Build a big room. B．Lie down to read.

C．Put in a brighter light. D．Stop to have some snacks.

33．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Read for Fun B．Sleeping Habits

C．Read to Sleep D．Sleeping problems

ChatGPT

There’s a new AI robot: ChatGPT, and you’d better read carefully, even if you don’t know artificial intelligence (人工智能). ChatGPT is a tool made by the company OpenAI in November 2022. They wanted to show everyone what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.

ChatGPT remembers your conversations, using the questions you asked and its answers to prepare its next sentences. It makes its answers from lots of information on the Internet.

38．例文

Dear Chris,

I’m writing to thank you for your great help. My English was not good before. I was very sad. You talked with me and encouraged me not to give up. You gave me a lot of methods on learning English. For example, I can use chants, songs and pictures to help me remember new words. And as for long passages, I should try to understand the general meaning and key points first. They are quite helpful. What’s more, you helped me practice spoken English every day. With your help, I have made great progress in English now, especially my speaking and reading. I am very happy. I am grateful to you. I become more confident than before because of your encouragement. And I have learned from you to be a positive person. And I shouldn’t give up whenever I meet difficulties.

I’m sure you’ll have a good time with us.

 Yours,

Li Hua

39．One possible version:

With the development of science and technology, the Internet has become a must in our life. I usually spend an hour surfing the Internet every day. I often search for some information on the Internet. I also listen to music and chat with my friends on WeChat. Sometimes I buy books online. In my opinion, the Internet is very convenient. We can do a lot of things online and we could have online classes during pandemic. But don’t spend too much time online. Our eyes get tired easily. And it’s bad for our health. So we should use the Internet properly. We can make use of Internet to do necessary things. We mustn’t depend too much on it.
