Phebe Cx grew up in what might seem an unlikely mental health danger zne fr a kid: tny Pal Alt, Califrnia. But behind its surface f family success and wealth, she said, is an envirnment f heavy pressure n students t perfrm. By 2016, when Cx was in middle schl, Pal Alt had a teen suicide(自杀) rate fur times the natinal average.
Cx’s family lived by the railrad tracks where many f the suicides ccurred. She gt cunseling（咨询）. But that chice is nt always easily available t teens in crisis – and she and her peers regarded schl mental health services as their last chice because f cncerns abut privacy.
A new prgram prvides an alternative. Called Allcve, it ffers unattached health and wellness sites t thse ages 12 t 25. Althugh Allcve is built t supprt a wide range f physical, emtinal and scial needs, its main gal is t deal with mental health challenges befre they develp int deeper prblems.
Cx said,“I felt pretty helpless as a yung teenager, but Allcve is all abut the students and the students' needs.”
Abut half f all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% befre age 25, accrding t researchers. Yet access t mental health care in the U.S. is lacking. Accrding t the Natinal Alliance n Mental Illness, sme 30 millin adults and children with mental health cnditins g withut treatment, and 129 millin peple live in areas with shrtages f mental health prfessinals.
Allcve prvides fully staffed safe spaces fr teens and yung adults t discuss and deal with their health, bth mental and physical.
Dr. Steven Adelsheim, a psychiatrist, wh created the Allcve in 2014, said,“There is a crying need in the U.S. t reach kids with early interventin and help.”Smetimes a kid may cme in with a physical cmplaint, and nly after a few visits is the mental suffering brught ut int the pen. When that happens, Alcve can make a“warm handff”t a mental health specialist nsite.
Success, say Adelsheim and Cx, wuld mean the establishment f hundreds f Allcve centers up and dwn the state and, eventually, arund the cuntry.
24. Why did Cx and her peers regard schl mental health services as their last chice?
A. They were indifferent t the prgram.
B. They were cncerned abut their health.
C. They were upset abut the ccurrence f the suicides.
D. They were wrried abut their persnal infrmatin leak.
25. Hw des the authr prve the lack f mental health care in the US?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing data.
C. By shwing cmparisn.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
26. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. The sense f mental suffering.
B. Invlvement f health experts.
C. Cmplaints abut physical suffering.
D. The pressing call fr assistance.
27. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f the prgram?

A revlutin has recently taken place in behaviural bilgy. Its cnsequences are far-reaching, bth fr ur self-image as humans and fr ur relatinship with animals. Just a few decades ag, behaviural science was guided by tw key beliefs: animals cannt think, and n scientific statements can be made abut their emtins. Tday, the same discipline hlds bth ideas t be false and assumes the very ppsite: animals f sme species are capable f insight – they can recgnize themselves in a mirrr and exhibit at least a basic sense f self-awareness – and they have rich emtinal lives that seem t be amazingly similar t thse f humans.
Indeed, the transfrmatin f the cncept f the animal in mdern behaviural bilgy has been fundamental. This has been cnfirmed by the death f a third belief: fr decades, it was taught that animals behave fr the gd f their species. Tday we knw this is nt the case. Rather, animals d everything t ensure that cpies f their wn genes are passed t the next generatin with maximum efficiency and, when necessary, they will als kill cnspecifics. Clearly, they are nt, as Jane Gdall had nce famusly hped, ‘like us, but better’.
The brder between humans and animals is als beginning t blur in ther areas. Certain aspects f the scial envirnment can cause stress fr bth humans and animals, while ther similar factrs can relieve it. Indeed, animal behaviur des nt develp in a fixed manner: envirnmental influences, scialisatin, and learning can change an animal frm the prenatal phase(胎儿期) thrugh adulthd. Like humans, animals ultimately appear individualised upn clser inspectin.
Hwever, such similarities acrss genes, brain structure, and the endcrine(内分泌的) system d nt autmatically imply similarities cncerning thughts, feelings, and behaviur. T better understand these characteristics, we need t lk at specific studies in bth animals and humans. In the case f animals, such studies take place within the field f behaviural bilgy, which was prperly defined by ne f the fathers f the discipline, the Nbel Prize winner Niklaas Tinbergen, as ‘the study f behaviur by bilgical methds’.
28. Accrding t the new research, sme animals___________.
A. pssess rich emtins.
B. can hardly recgnize themselves.
C. can shw little self-awareness.
D. are incapable f understanding.
29. It can be inferred that animals’ behaviural actins are mainly driven by __________.
A. their desire t prtect their species.
B. their ability t recgnize themselves in mirrrs.
C. their urge t guarantee the gene transmissin.
D. their eagerness t be scially interacted.
30. Which f the fllwing statements is true accrding t Paragraph 3?
A. There’s a clear distinctin between humans and animals.
B. Scial envirnment may have an impact n animal behavir.
C. Animals will eventually becme standardized.
D. Learning alne can shape animal behaviur altgether.
31.Which f the fllwing titles best summarizes the article?
A. Evlutin f Views in Behaviral Bilgy: Typical Human, Typical Animal?
B. The Emtinal Lives f Animals: A Study f Similarities and Differences with Humans
C. Understanding the Blurred Bundaries: The Human – Animal Cnnectin in Mdern Science

Behind the Mask
Wearing the face f Patih Manis, a character in Bali’s dance dramas, means mre than simply putting n a tapel, r mask.
“When yu dance with a tapel and perfrm its character, yu underg a transfrmatin,”says I Made Bandem, a schlar and teacher f Balinese arts – and a dancer fr seven decades. “Yu must‘marry’that mask and make ritual(仪式) fferings t create unity between yurself and the tapel. Many dancers will sleep with the mask beside them, s that they can learn its true character.”
Hand – carved tapel are essential t Tpeng Pajegan and Tpeng Panca, dance dramas ften held at temple festivals and family rituals acrss this Indnesian island. The masks, alng with delicate cstumes, music that makes yu sleep, and staccat mvements – smetimes nly f the fingers – have attracted Balinese audiences since the 17th century. The stries staged in Pajegan and Panca tell the histry f the Balinese peple, and the characters never change: Their appearance, mvements, rles, and even the rder in which they emerge remain the same. Yet in spite f this structure, tpeng leave rm fr a great deal f artistic freedm. With n written text and n required musical arrangement, the entire perfrmance which can last arund fur hurs will be an imprvisatin – dancers and musicians drawing signals frm ne anther.
It’s believed that every mask used fr perfrmance has a spirit. And if the crrect fferings and tabs have been bserved and the dancers have devted themselves t mental, physical, and spiritual training, then during a dance drama their bdies will becme a medium fr the tapel’s spirit.
“A dancer strives t achieve taksu, which is a cmbinatin f presence, pwer, and passin, ”says Bandem.“This is what we pray fr befre we perfrm; it is thrugh taksu that we bring the ancestrs and their stries t life.”
32. What can we learn abut tapel frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Tapel refers t a character’s name.
B. Tapel is suppsed t be with the dancers all alng.
C. Tapel builds a bridge between the dancer and the true character.
D. Tapel experiences dramatic changes when wrn by a dancer.
33. All the fllwing can attract the audience at the dance dramas mentined except________.
A. Well-designed cstumes.
B. Balinese stries.
C. Uplifting music.
D. Artistic freedm.
34. Which ne can better explain the meaning f “imprvisatin” in the third paragraph?
A. A perfrmance created casually.
B. A perfrmance with full preparatin.
C. A perfrmance given perfectly terribly.
D. A perfrmance withut deliberate preparatin.
35. What is the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. Taksu is a Balinese dancer’s pursuit.
B. The stry behind the mask.
C. Tapel’s spirit is impssible t verlk.
D. Taksu is a medium t cnnect the past and the present.

The Habits f Recvering Prcrastinatrs(拖延者)
We all prcrastinate (拖延) ccasinally. Prcrastinatin can be defined as delaying a prject, a task r an intended curse f actin, despite expecting t feel the guilt r shame f the delay. I have develped sme habits that will allw yu t live in the present, be much mre prductive and remve the prcrastinatin that n lnger serves yu.
Manage yurself in Time. Becming a recvering prcrastinatr requires develping a much greater sense f time — ne hur, ne day, ne week, ne mnth, ne year. 36
Yu then gain a better understanding f hw t manage yur time effectively and make steady prgress twards yur gals.
Set small gals. _ 37 They desire t have a half-a-millin-dllar year in their first year as a business wner r t make a remarkable leap frm a high-schl actr t winning an Oscar. Instead, what typically happens is that they fall apart emtinally. Thse breakdwns lessen the emtinal energy necessary t prgress tward their gals.
38 If yu tend t prcrastinate, keeping an rganized list helps yu develp much mre fcus. By actively cmmitting yur tasks t writing, yu break free frm the aimless spinning and equip yurself t vercme prcrastinatin.
Rank tasks by imprtance. Develp the habit f rganizing yur tasks based n their significance. 39 This way, yu’ll prevent yurself frm getting verwhelmed and ensure that essential wrk gets dne.
Dn’t be t hard n yurself. Overcming prcrastinatin is a jurney filled with ups and dwns. 40 Remember t be kind and patient with yurself alng the way. Yu’ve gt this, and I believe in yu.
A. Dcument yur tasks and thughts.
B. It’s cmmn fr prcrastinatrs t aim high.
C. Yu can establish a daily r weekly timetable.
D. Overcme prcrastinatin with rganized fcus.
E. Identify the mst critical nes and tackle them first.
F. This is breaking dwn tasks int manageable time frames.
G. Yu’ll encunter radblcks and experience mments f frustratin.

I was nineteen years ld the first time I saw my wn true character. At least I can say that my true character changed that day.
Fr abut a year, my vyage t and frm wrk each day included a ten-minute walk thrugh the heart f dwntwn Trnt. As with mst large cities, the hmeless ppulatin f Trnt ften gathered n dwn-twn crners, asking pedestrians （行人）fr their spare change. Like mst busy citizens, I learned t ignre the nameless faces wh begged me fr mney each day. In my eyes, they are n the streets because they chse t be.
I remember hw particularly cld the weather had been that day. I passed the usual crwd f hmeless beggars, ignred all f them, and cntinued walking. As I crssed an intersectin (交叉路口), I saw him sitting against a building, hlding a white cup in frnt f him. I heard his shaky vice target me as I sped past him.
“Spare sme change?” he asked.
I didn’t even bther lking up at his nameless face. “I have n mney n me,” I said quickly.
Lking back nw, I feel as thugh fate had set ut that day t teach me a lessn. Just a few feet past him, I slipped n the icy rad. I lay n the grund fr several mments wndering if I had brken my leg. Then I heard a familiar vice nly inches abve me.
“Are yu all right?” he asked.
I knew immediately that this was the man I had just rushed past. I saw the smth, sympathetic lk in his eyes.
I held his hand as I struggled t get t my feet. He held my arm as I hbbled（跛行）t the nearby bus stp. The pain in my leg tld me that I needed an X-ray.
“My name is Mike,” he said. “Yu really shuldn’t try walking n that leg. Yu really need t get it checked by a dctr,” he said with deep cncern.
“This bus ges past the hspital,” I said quickly, pinting t the bus sign abve me.

Mike paused and a sudden lk f realizatin crssed his face. ________________

My Favurite Prverb
My favurite prverb is “A thusand-mile jurney begins with the first step.”, which means we shuld take the first step with curage t pursue ur dream rather than just shut empty slgans withut taking any actin.
My persnal experience is a case in pint. At senir 1, I had difficulty keeping up with thers in English. At that time, I had tw chices. I culd chse t give up and als I culd chse t find ut the rt f the prblem and seek slutins. I chse the latter. I tk immediate steps and made determined effrts t imprve my English step by step. I began with reciting wrds and reviewing them several times. T thers, it was seemingly t easy t mentin. But t me, it was a key step fr me t imprve my English. If excelling at English is my lng jurney, I am glad that I tk the first step bravely and determinedly in senir 1.
This prverb can serve as a reminder that lng and arduus as the jurney ahead is, we can be clser t ur dream as lng as we are brave enugh t take actin.
读后续写参考范文
Mike paused, and a lk f sudden realizatin crssed his face. He quickly reached int his pcket and pulled ut his small white cup. After cunting the mere change carefully in it, he held all ut tward me, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity. At that mment, an embarrassed silence struck fr a mment. I lked up at him in shck. “I knw yu have n change,” he said with a smiling face, “but I think there’s just enugh here fr yu t take the bus.” I was verwhelmed with guilt as I remembered the lie I had tld him.
I turned away frm his ffering hand and reached fr my purse. I felt Mike’s eyes fixed n me. I cunted ut enugh mney fr me t take the bus t the hspital and then ffered him the rest. “Thank yu,” he said quietly. It was by far the mst heartfelt “thank-yu” I had heard in my life. He clung t his cup f change, cherishing it as if it were the first gift he had received. Despite his gratitude, I didn’t feel relieved. A half cup f change seemed t small a gift fr the man wh gave a name t every nameless face I’ve ever seen.
