They call America’s Gt Talent the biggest stage in the wrld, and I definitely felt like it that day last April. I std n that huge, brightly lit stage in Califrnia. As I stared ut at the audience f thusands, it hit me that this mment culd change my life frever.
I’d always lved t sing and had already signed up fr the schl talent shw in furth grade when I started stuttering (结巴). I went frm being a carefree 10-year-ld t a shy ne. I was afraid f speaking in class, rdering at restaurants, and even intrducing myself. S I decided t practise ver and ver again. T my astnishment, the wrds came smthly when I sang. My stutter disappeared. I felt s free nstage perfrming in the talent shw.
By the summer I was 16, ne afternn I started practising my guitar at hme. On the spt, I wrte a sng I called “I Will Trust”. I sang abut hw lst I felt. The next day, I filmed a vide f myself perfrming the sng and psted it n YuTube. Hundreds f cmplete strangers left cmments that I had cheered them up with my music.
Then I signed up fr the America’s Gt Talent auditin (试镜). When I finished, the judges and the whle crwd were n their feet. I culdn’t believe it! Judge Cwell tld me I had a pure and beautiful vice. When intrducing myself t the judges and audience, I stammered my name, Amanda, and then my age, 18. “As yu can prbably tell…” I explained, “I have a bit f a speech stutter... But I fund that I dn’t stutter when I sing.”
I culdn’t hld back my tears. My stutter made me shy and fearful, but I was given the gift t speak thrugh my music. My wildest dreams were cming true, dreams I’d never thught pssible.

D yu edit text messages carefully befre sending them? If s, yu may be the kind f persn wh takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
A new bk Writing Fr Busy Readers makes the argument fr being the careful kind f writer even in infrmal messages. It lays ut the data fr sharp, simple writing.
Tdd Rgers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behaviural scientists, bth at Harvard. Their “Writing Fr Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nwadays. Peple are filled cnstantly with messages, frm the mailbx t the inbx t the text-message reminder. What t read, what t skim and what t ignre are decisins that nearly everyne has t make dzens, r even hundreds f times a day.
The authrs present well-established principles that have lng been prized in guide s t writing including The Ecnmist’s style bk: cut unnecessary wrds, chse wrds everyne knws and keep sentences simple.
Take “less is mre”. Mst bks n writing well suggest cutting ff needless wrds. Hwever, in Writing fr Busy Peple, the authrs have tested the principles. Fr example, in an email t thusands f schl-bard members asking them t take a survey, cutting the length frm 127 t 49 wrds almst dubled the respnse rate (frm 2.7% t 4.8%).
The researchers fund that a lnger message makes recipients (收件人) think the task (such as filling ut a survey) will take lnger, t. Writers must smetimes chse t be infrmal but effective instead f sympathetic but ignred. Frm Facebk psts t nline-travel reviews, even brief, infrmal pieces f writing that fllw these rules get mre likes, shares and s n. Frm essays t text messages rganizing dinner plans, devting time t the needs f readers has evident benefits. If yu are s busy that yu write a badly-rganized message that readers scan, ignre and delete, then yu might as well have nt written it at all.
8. What is the purpse f the questin in Paragraph 1?
A. T raise peple’s interest in simple writing.B. T crrect the ld view abut text messages.
C. T reveal the negative effects f messages.D. T imprve the texting skills f peple.
9. What can be inferred abut Writing fr Busy Peple?
A. It emphasizes the imprtance f timely messages.
B. It brings evidence n the well-established principles.
C. It was written by a well-knwn authr Tdd Rgers.
D. It was nce published in the magazine The Ecnmist.
10. What des the authr want t shw?
A. Brief writing gains few ppularity.B. Messages are t shrt t understand.
C. Peple tend t verlk lng messages.D. Sympathetic messages get many respnses.
11. What des the passage mainly fcus n?
A. Hw t write effectively.B. When t text messages.

A recent study reveals abut 68 percent f Gen Z adults and 20 percent f millennials (千禧一代) are chsing t remain with their families. This represents the largest generatinal shares amng all age grups. Furthermre, the study estimates that 51 millin individuals are currently living in multi-generatinal husehlds.
What’s perhaps mre surprising is that these yung adults dn’t anticipate leaving their fr at hmes. Bth millennials (47%) and Gen Zers (41%) expect t cntinue living with their families fr at least anther tw years. S what are the reasns behind yung adults staying at hme?
The reasns behind yung adults staying at hme are diverse but mainly cme dwn t financial r health-related circumstances. The data suggests that the average millennial, living with a family member at the age f 32, shares their hme with three r fur ther peple. Many f them wrk in fd services, cnstructin, r educatin.
Cmpared t previus generatins, millennials are slwer t leave the nest, with 18 percent f baby bmers and 17 percent f Gen X having lived with their parents at the same age as tday’s millennials. Several ther factrs culd als explain this generatinal difference. Yunger generatins may find it financially advantageus t stay with family t ecnmize n expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, r future dwn payments. Additinally, the increasing number f Millennials and Gen Zers chsing t care fr family members may cntribute t this trend.
When it cmes t the areas with the highest percentages f multigeneratinal husehlds, Ls Angeles stands ut, with 35 percent f its millennials and 81 percent f Gen Z residents still living with family members. The high living expense f living in this big city, which is 51 percent abve the natinal average, makes it difficult fr yung adults t struggle n their wn. Califrnia’s Riverside area with 35 percent f millennials and 85 percent f Gen Zers remaining at hme fllws clsely while New Yrk rank the third place, with 28 percent f millennials in the Big Apple living in multigeneratinal husehlds.

The irn heart decratin made by my grandsn was precius beynd measure. Fr sme reasn, thinking f it being gne frever made tears cme t my eyes. But life is t shrt t agnize(折磨)ver these things, I reminded myself.
That night, it turned clder and we had a snw shwer. I enjyed a cmfrt-fd dinner, played sft music, and settled int a peaceful evening.
It was peaceful until I heard the hrrible screech f my car alarm bursting frm the garage. I rushed t the car, inserted(插入)the temperamental key in the dr and finally pened it, and then started it until the alarm stpped.
Back in the huse, I waited uneasily, but the next sund was the frnt drbell. Assuming it was a neighbr ready t be angry with me, I pened the dr slwly and turned n the light with aplgies ready.

I’d always lved t sing and had already signed up fr the schl talent shw in furth grade when I started stuttering (结巴). I went frm being a carefree 10-year-ld t a shy ne. I was afraid f speaking in class, rdering at restaurants, and even intrducing myself. S I decided t practise ver and ver again. T my astnishment, the wrds came smthly when I sang. My stutter disappeared. I felt s free nstage perfrming in the talent shw.
By the summer I was 16, ne afternn I started practising my guitar at hme. On the spt, I wrte a sng I called “I Will Trust”. I sang abut hw lst I felt. The next day, I filmed a vide f myself perfrming the sng and psted it n YuTube. Hundreds f cmplete strangers left cmments that I had cheered them up with my music.
Then I signed up fr the America’s Gt Talent auditin (试镜). When I finished, the judges and the whle crwd were n their feet. I culdn’t believe it! Judge Cwell tld me I had a pure and beautiful vice. When intrducing myself t the judges and audience, I stammered my name, Amanda, and then my age, 18. “As yu can prbably tell…” I explained, “I have a bit f a speech stutter... But I fund that I dn’t stutter when I sing.”
I culdn’t hld back my tears. My stutter made me shy and fearful, but I was given the gift t speak thrugh my music. My wildest dreams were cming true, dreams I’d never thught pssible.

D yu edit text messages carefully befre sending them? If s, yu may be the kind f persn wh takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
A new bk Writing Fr Busy Readers makes the argument fr being the careful kind f writer even in infrmal messages. It lays ut the data fr sharp, simple writing.
Tdd Rgers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behaviural scientists, bth at Harvard. Their “Writing Fr Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nwadays. Peple are filled cnstantly with messages, frm the mailbx t the inbx t the text-message reminder. What t read, what t skim and what t ignre are decisins that nearly everyne has t make dzens, r even hundreds f times a day.
The authrs present well-established principles that have lng been prized in guide s t writing including The Ecnmist’s style bk: cut unnecessary wrds, chse wrds everyne knws and keep sentences simple.
Take “less is mre”. Mst bks n writing well suggest cutting ff needless wrds. Hwever, in Writing fr Busy Peple, the authrs have tested the principles. Fr example, in an email t thusands f schl-bard members asking them t take a survey, cutting the length frm 127 t 49 wrds almst dubled the respnse rate (frm 2.7% t 4.8%).
The researchers fund that a lnger message makes recipients (收件人) think the task (such as filling ut a survey) will take lnger, t. Writers must smetimes chse t be infrmal but effective instead f sympathetic but ignred. Frm Facebk psts t nline-travel reviews, even brief, infrmal pieces f writing that fllw these rules get mre likes, shares and s n. Frm essays t text messages rganizing dinner plans, devting time t the needs f readers has evident benefits. If yu are s busy that yu write a badly-rganized message that readers scan, ignre and delete, then yu might as well have nt written it at all.
8. What is the purpse f the questin in Paragraph 1?
A. T raise peple’s interest in simple writing.B. T crrect the ld view abut text messages.
C. T reveal the negative effects f messages.D. T imprve the texting skills f peple.
9. What can be inferred abut Writing fr Busy Peple?
A. It emphasizes the imprtance f timely messages.
B. It brings evidence n the well-established principles.
C. It was written by a well-knwn authr Tdd Rgers.
D. It was nce published in the magazine The Ecnmist.
10. What des the authr want t shw?
A. Brief writing gains few ppularity.B. Messages are t shrt t understand.
C. Peple tend t verlk lng messages.D. Sympathetic messages get many respnses.
11. What des the passage mainly fcus n?

A recent study reveals abut 68 percent f Gen Z adults and 20 percent f millennials (千禧一代) are chsing t remain with their families. This represents the largest generatinal shares amng all age grups. Furthermre, the study estimates that 51 millin individuals are currently living in multi-generatinal husehlds.

The reasns behind yung adults staying at hme are diverse but mainly cme dwn t financial r health-related circumstances.

Cmpared t previus generatins, millennials are slwer t leave the nest, with 18 percent f baby bmers and 17 percent f Gen X having lived with their parents at the same age as tday’s millennials. Several ther factrs culd als explain this generatinal difference. Yunger generatins may find it financially advantageus t stay with family t ecnmize n expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, r future dwn payments. Additinally, the increasing number f Millennials and Gen Zers chsing t care fr family members may cntribute t this trend.
When it cmes t the areas with the highest percentages f multigeneratinal husehlds, Ls Angeles stands ut, with 35 percent f its millennials and 81 percent f Gen Z residents still living with family members. The high living expense f living in this big city, which is 51 percent abve the natinal average, makes it difficult fr yung adults t struggle n their wn.

I’d just returned frm a beautiful fall early-mrning walk with my dg. At the frnt dr, I dug arund in my pckets fr the keys. When I discvered I didn’t have them, I decided t return t the paths we’d taken. I wuld surely spt them in plain sight.
My little dg ran in excitement that we wuld d a repeat f ur just-finished uting. I spent an hur lking but the keys remained lst. I was beginning t get upset as I thught f the cnsequences f lsing them, s I cntinued t retrace ur steps, but in vain.
At hme again, I pulled the backup key frm its hiding place, let myself in the huse, and fell n the cuch in exhaustin. At my age, ne trip is usually plenty! I began t take key inventry(库存). The huse key wasn’t that imprtant as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but it was temperamental(不可靠的), and the key ring wuld be expensive t replace. The irn heart decratin made by my grandsn was precius beynd measure. Fr sme reasn, thinking f it being gne frever made tears cme t my eyes. But life is t shrt t agnize(折磨)ver these things, I reminded myself.
That night, it turned clder and we had a snw shwer. I enjyed a cmfrt-fd dinner, played sft music, and settled int a peaceful evening.
It was peaceful until I heard the hrrible screech f my car alarm bursting frm the garage. I rushed t the car, inserted(插入)the temperamental key in the dr and finally pened it, and then started it until the alarm stpped.
Back in the huse, I waited uneasily, but the next sund was the frnt drbell. Assuming it was a neighbr ready t be angry with me, I pened the dr slwly and turned n the light with aplgies ready.
注意：
