When we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree growing in the backyard.
This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.
Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don't clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it's when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, "It's going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!" Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn't work.
But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.
I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life's way of making us stronger. It's life's way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, "It will be OK in the end. If it's not, it's not the end."
24. What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree?
A. Her kids' love for it. B. Its fruit's good taste.
C. Her expectation of it. D. Its benefits for her family.
25. Why did the author's friends say the words in paragraph 3?
A. To laugh at her. B. To cheer her up.
C. To show their regret. D. To express their excitement.
26. What happened to the avocado tree in the end?
A. It had no branches. B. It blocked the sunshine.
C. It was full of life again. D. It bore more avocados.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. You harvest what you sow.
B. Luck and Misfortune comes in turn.
C. Success won't come unless you go to it.
D. The important thing in life is to have a dream.
C
My name's Ellen and I grew up in Manchester in the 19th Century at the time of the Industrial Revolution. I was born in 1853, and at that time, Manchester had 108 cotton factories. It was called Cottonopolis.
Life wasn't easy for children in those days, and most children were dead by the age of five. Some might

say they were the lucky ones because they didn't have to go to work in a factory.
By 1853, most people had moved from the countryside to the city for work, and the city was dirty and overcrowded. Three or four families often lived in the same house. We lived in one room in the basement of a house. It was damp, dark and cold and we only had one bed. The toilet was outside in the street, and we had to share it with all our neighbours. There wasn't any running water in the house either. We didn't have any clean drinking water, and many people died from cholera (霍乱). My eldest brother died of cholera two months before I was born.
I was eight when I started work at the cotton mill. The noise was terrible and the air was filled with white dust from the cotton. I couldn't breathe and I wanted to run away.
One morning, after I had been working there for a few months, I had a terrible accident. I was very tired that morning. I had been working for three hours when, for just a second, I closed my eyes and that's
when it happened. A woman grabbed(抓住) me and pulled me away from the machine, but it was too late. I
had lost three fingers on my right hand. At the time I was pleased. "Now I don't have to work anymore," I thought. But no, I was wrong. They found me another job—a job where I didn't need a hand.
28. What can be learnt about Ellen's family after moving to the city?
A. They shared a basement with others.
B. There was no toilet inside their room.
C. The running water in their room was dirty.
D. Her eldest brother died after she was bom.
29. Why did Ellen want to run away from the cotton factory?
A. She couldn't hold her breath. B. She was too young to work there.
C. Girls did heavy tasks at the factory. D. The working conditions were terrible.
30. What happened to Ellen in the last paragraph?
A. She worked for a month. B. She lost her right hand.
C. She had a horrible accident. D. She felt glad to change a job.
31. What's the writer's purpose of writing the text?
A. To tell her hard childhood life. B. To raise concerns about children.
C. To express her thanks to life saver. D. To show her dissatisfaction with the job.
D
The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated North Pole regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to ease the symptoms.
32. What does the fact that the Eskimos don't always suffer colds show?
A. Colds are truly full of myths.
B. Colds are more severe than other illnesses.
C. The idea that cold leads to colds is not true.
D. The Eskimos are stronger in fighting against viruses.
33. What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove?
A. Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.
B. Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.
C. It was viruses not wet and cold that made people catch colds.
D. People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.
34. Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage?
A. Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.
B. Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to spread.
C. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.
D. There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The myths about cold treatment. B. The experiments on common colds.
C. The continued spread of common colds. D. The reason and the way people catch colds.

How to Leave Your Comfort Zone
The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person uses a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, causing their progress to cease. But life is full of opportunities to step outside the comfort zone. Here are some ways one might try to do so.
Do everyday things differently. In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slow down to take in the surroundings on a walk. (36)
Try a new diet. Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on "comfort

foods". (37) Shifting to a healthier diet can be as challenging as it is rewarding, with self-trust growing as you hit milestone goals along the way.
(38) Many people are longing for this goal. For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling.
Get creative. Creativity—anything from writing a poem to building a business—usually involves an
element of risk. (39) Therefore, failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes. Exercising creativity is a good way to train yourself to have a growth mindset and let go of a need for perfection from the outset.
Challenge your beliefs. It's easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction—a
feature of being in the comfort zone. (40) While this can be uncomfortable, it enables growth and insight by challenging deep-rooted beliefs. This might take several forms, such as reading varied book genres, diversifying who you talk to, and visiting new places.
A. Take workouts to the next level.
B. Motivate yourself with a new sport.
C. Doing so often means trying something new.
D. Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown.
E. Therefore, we need to explore alternative perspectives.
F. These changes break you out of old, comfortable routines.
G. Benefits of leaving the comfort zone won't happen overnight.

Being a teacher is always believed to be one of greatest occupations, because teachers make great contributions for the world. Last week, I got a chance to experience teaching students. Our school asked us to teach some kids live in the countryside. The kids was so happy that they gave me a warm welcome. I teach them English and after class, we played games happily. We had a lot of funs together. When I returned back to school, I missed the students so much. They like me but some of them have kept in touch with me ever since. I felt so proudly of being a teacher.
