I loved my first grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Gross but there was nothing gross (恶劣的) about her. She had such a sweet smile and kind way about her. I wasn’t sure what her age was at the time but she already looked very grand-motherly. She was soft spoken and had a very gentle sense of humor. Unlike some teachers she never shouted at or criticized her students. To me it felt like having a second grandmother as my teacher. Every day， I arrived at her classroom and sat happily at my desk with a big smile on my face. Throughout all my years of school I always remembered the times I spent in her classroom the most fondly.
One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems that were printed on the chalkboard while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and lifted my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said: “This is really good work， Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on she gently touched my shoulder and I got an exciting feeling in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be appreciated. From that moment on I always tried my best. I always worked hard， I always wanted to be as smart as she thought I already was.
Would I have done as good in school or in life if I hadn’t had Mrs. Gross as my first grade teacher？ I don’t think so. She awakened a desire in me to be the best person I could be. With her gentle love and encouragement I started down a wonderful path that I am sill on today， Mrs. Gross showed me just how much effect one soul can have on another.[来源*:%@中~教网&]

Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development. There is considerable evidence pointing to its positive role in helping students deal with stress， develop relationships， and handle the transitions (过渡) facing them.
Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. So， does it impact on how teens and students perform academically？ Some research does， in fact， suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. In one study of education students at university， self-emotion appraisal (评价) and understanding of emotion were revealed to have positive significant linkages with their academic performance on assessments.
Later studies support this finding， with Sanchez-Ruiz and colleagues finding that emotional intelligence predicted academic performance better than established personality and cognitive (认知的) ability for Cyprus university students.
But what about teens specifically？ Interestingly， there is also cogent evidence to suggest that teens with EI are better able to make the transition from high school to higher education. Results of a study of 1，426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal， stress management， and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. The authors’ conclusion was that emotional intelligence has a large impact on students’ ability to deal with challenges such as developing new relationships and learning to live more independently， amongst other factors.
It is worth noting that while the studies above do provide evidence for some benefits of emotional intelligence skills for students， they don’t necessarily indicate an academic consensus (共识). As with most areas in the field， much room for future research remains. So interpersonal and emotional management skills may play a key part in helping students better handle the challenging aspects of academic life.[来@%^源#&:中教网]
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 2？
A. Emotional intelligence is only helpful to negative emotions.
B. Evidence of the function of emotional intelligence isn’t enough.
C. Emotional intelligence is connected with academic performance.
D. Our behaviors can’t be treated with our emotional intelligence.
29. What does the underlined word “cogent” in paragraph 4 mean？
A. Insufficient. B. Specific. C. Usual. D. Convincing.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A. Emotional intelligence equals academic performance
B. Much research is needed for emotional intelligence.[中国#&教育出*版网@~]
C. Emotional intelligence doesn’t adapt to teens yet.[来源:*中国教育出^版网@&#]
D. Interpersonal management counts in learning languages.

Fossilized (化石的) footprints found on a beach in southern Spain reveal what may have been a nursery for an extinct species of elephant.
The track-rich coastal site is typically covered by 1 1/2 meters of sand. Storm surges (风暴潮) in the spring of 2020 washed away much of that sand and exposed the preserved footprints of ancient elephants， cattle， deer， pigs， and so on. The sandy-clay sediments (沉淀物) hosting this treasure of tracks were probably laid down about 106，000 years ago， previous studies suggest.[来源&:zzs#t~ep.c*@om]
Among the newly uncovered tracks are the first-of-their kind footprints of newborn straight-tusked elephants， an extinct species that probably died out during the last ice age. The teeny tracks — which measure 9.6 centimeters across， about the size of a drink coaster — suggest that the petite， possibly 2-month-old elephants stood about 66 centimeters tall at their shoulders and weighed around 70 kilograms， slightly heavier than a Newfoundland dog. Based on previous finds elsewhere of actual bones， adult straight-tusked elephants may have weighed 5.5 metric tons for females and 13 tons for males.
The mix of elephant tracks at the site suggests that family groups including newborns， youngsters and adult females frequented the area and possibly used it as a nursery， the researchers say. Other fossils found at the site， including those preserving traces of ancient roots， indicate that the area was rich in vegetation and lakes and ponds.[来源%&:#中国教育出版~网*]
The team’s findings “are a thrilling study，” says Anthony Martin， a trace fossil expert at Emory University in Atlanta， Series of footprints show how the ancient elephants were moving， offer insight into their social structure and even provide a sight of their reproductive ecology， he says， If newborns were part of the family group and “if they were acting anything like modern elephants， the mother had to be nearby，” Martin says.
What’s more， the presence of preserved Neandertal footprints at the site suggests that the ancient people hunted young elephants or other creatures， Martin says. The Neandertals “probably were not foolish enough to take on a full-sized elephant.”
32. What helped the discovery of elephants’ footprints in southern Spain？
A. People’s farming. B. The researchers’ efforts.
C. The bad weather. D. Records about the place.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us？[来~源:@#*^中教网]
A. The extinction of the elephants. B. Inferrence about the elephants.
C. The course of the new discovery. D. Weigh of straight-tusked elephants.[中国教育出版网*~&%@]
34. What can we know about the mix of elephant tracks？
A. The site was suitable for animals’ living.
B. Volcanoes must have happened in the site.
C. These tracks indicated the danger of the site.
D. Elephants’ enemies must have lived in the site.
35. What can the preserved Neandertal footprints show to us？
A. The slow growth of the elephants.
B. The movements of the elephants here.
C. The development of elephant species.
D. The living style of the local people.

72【答案】 Waste Classification
Recently， our school is carrying out a program， which calls on everyone to throw rubbish into the right dustbin according to the four categories. Teachers and students take part in the program actively.
We are required to sort garbage into different categories such as harmful waste， recyclables and kitchen waste， each of which is supposed to be thrown into a different bin. At first， we find it difficult to sort waste in a correct way. But with the help of our teachers， we are doing a much better job now.
I think waste classification is environmentally friendly. In the long run， the result is well worth our efforts.
