Staying positive has been tough in the past year. Since the pandemic began, three times as many American adults have reported cases of anxiety compared with 2019. Thankfully, here are three ways to improve your relationship with the person in the mirror.

Engage in Smarter Self-talk

In his lab at the University of Michigan, Kross asks subjects to talk to themselves in the second person, and to use their own name. Instead of saying, “I’m so nervous about this meeting on Tuesday,” say,“(Your name), you seem pretty nervous about this meeting.” Kross’s research shows that this simple change in language gets people into problem-solving mode quicker.

Repeat a Task You’re Good At

When Canadian psychologist Patrick Keelan’s helping people with low self-respect, he suggests they regularly take part in activities that use or improve their skills. According to a 14-year study of 7,000 volunteers, you can increase your self-respect at every age if you know you can do well in what you are interested in.

Look back

While some research suggests happiness increases with age, studies also suggest that self-respect reaches the highest point at age 60, then reduces. In a 2015 study from Iran, a group of men who lost their wives 60 and over shared memories of the events and life lessons that had shaped their lives. This “encouraged a sense of identity（身份）and a positive contribution to the next generation,” the researchers reported. So, look back by looking through a photo album with loved ones or playing music that reminds you of meaningful moments.

21.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Lessons offered in the university.    B. Modes helping solve the problem.

C. People taking part in the experiment.   D. Researchers performing the experiment.

22.Which way would be helpful if an elder lost the beloved?

A. The first one.    B. The second one.  C. The third one.   D. None.

23.All the three ways are  .

A. science-backed   B. advanced    C. challenging   D. task-based

B

Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie. He gained national attention for his leadership at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey.

“You are not inferior.” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.

Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the U.S. Amy Reserve. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark’s first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.

Some praised his efforts at discipline while others criticized his methods. President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie “Lean on Me.” That movie was based on Clark’s experiences at Eastside. “Joe was a father figure to school kid,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.” Recently, one of Joe Clark’s former students, Thomas McEntyre said, “I never really got a chance to... thank him. We are your product. You did not fail us. No matter whether you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me.”

After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called “Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark’s Strategy for Saving Our Schools.” He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.

24.By saying “You are not inferior” to his students, Joe Clark meant to ______.

A. make the students face the reality    B. lead the students to accept themselves

C. press the students not to make mistakes   D. encourage the students to better themselves

25.What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Drew out.     B. Kicked out.   C. Brought out.   D. Smoothed out.

26.Who criticized Joe Clark?

A. The president    B. One teacher.  C. Morgan Freeman.  D. Thomas McEntyre.

27.Which of the following best describes Joe Clark?

A. Tough and unique.        B. Demanding and humorous.

C. Kind and considerate.       D. Well-meaning and professional.

C

Social media often report concerns like the spread of misinformation, hate speech, and only listening to people that you agree with. That is what we call echo chamber. But how can we really break it apart? One way, make friends, especially friends of another race.

I know most people have few black friends. Many people, many white people, could easily go their whole lives without ever getting to know someone of another race, which requires effort.

Making a new friend is a hard period. Making a friend of another race is harder yet. You don’t have common experience and instant friendship. And, for Black people, going out of our way to make a white friend requires trust. And this is not to say that white people should go seek out strangers or acquaintances and say, tell me about your Black experience. Do not do that. That’s not friendship. That’s a trade.

Real friendship means a willingness to listen carefully, and have your views challenged, because sour Black friend doesn’t see the world the same way you do. It’s going to require you to do the important work of earning and offering trust, so that, if you make a mistake or misstep, you will have some good will to fall back on even before that, it starts with stepping outside your comfort zone. A different social circle just going to fall in your lap. You’re going to have to think carefully about where you live and where your children go to school, the activities you take part in. That’s because it’s going to be impossible to create a meaningful connection with someone of another race if you’re only around people who look like you. So, these friendships are going to require putting actions behind intentions.

28.What does “it” in the paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Hate speech.   B. Echo chamber.  C. Social media.     D. Wrong information.

29.In the author’s opinion,  .

A. it is beneficial to make a friend of another race

B. friendship with the black needs common experience

C. most people are willing to make friends of another race

D. It’s unnecessary for the white to make friends of another race

30.What is the author’s attitude to going seek out Black strangers?

A. Unclear.     B. Favorable.   C. Unconcerned.   D. Unfavorable.

31.What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph?

A. Counting on people alike. 

B. Living with different races.

C. Seeing eye to eye with our Black friends.

D. Laying stress on actions rather than intentions.

D

Instead of using a credit card or smartphone to pay for your goods, Amazon wants you to use your hands.

In a blog post, Dilip Kumar, vice president of Amazon Physical Retail introduced the company's' palm recognition(掌纹识别) technology, known as Amazon One. The technology, first rolling out in Amazon's home market of Seattle: will use people's palms to identify(确认身份) them and combine that with details of the palm, such as lines and ridges, to build “palm signature.”

In addition to the trial in the company's stores in Seattle, starting today, Kumar added that Amazon One will come to other Amazon stores and will be used for more than just paying with your palm. "We believe Amazon one has broad applicability beyond our retail stores, so we also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers(零售店), stadiums, and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places, "Kumar added.

Though Amazon has introduced other ways to pay for goods at its physical stores. including the use of Cameras and an app linked to your Amazon account. Kumar explained palm recognition offers another level of privacy.

"We selected palm recognition for a few important reasons, Kumar wrote. "One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than other biometric (生物统计的) identifiers because you can't determine a person's identity by looking at a picture of their palm. It also requires users to make an intentional gesture by holding their palm over the device to use. This puts customers in control of when and where they use the service. What's more, it's contactless, which we think customers will appreciate, especially in current times.

To use Amazon One, people don't need an Amazon account, but simply phone number and a credit card. For those concerned about privacy, Kumar wrote, users can delete their biometric data if they decide they no longer want to use it.

32. Which of the following best describes Amazon One?

A. Convenient and safe.      B. Private and inexpensive.

C. Widespread and user-friendly    D. Healthy and popular.

33. From the 3rd paragraph we can infer that_______.

A. Amazon One is designed for Amazon online stores.

B. Amazons' palm recognition technology is the best in the world.

C. Amazon One has not yet been used in places beyond Amazon stores.

D. Amazon provides various services for society.

34. What makes palm recognition a better way to pay than using a camera and an app.

A. Palm recognition makes fewer mistakes.

B. Customers don't need to make intentional gestures.

C. Customers can use their palm to open an Amazon account.

D. Customers can control when and where to use it.

35. Which section of a website is the passage most possibly from?

A. Online shopping.       B. Business news.

C. Education.        D. Advertisement.

On my way home, I couldn’t imagine what my mom would say to me and what expressions my dad would have on his face. I was too afraid to go back home and face my parents. After school, anxiously and aimlessly, I hung out on the street. I even hoped that time topped at this moment.

But it was dark, and I had no choice but to go back home.

71. Dear James,

I am awfully sorry that you are so stressed out before the examinations. However, the situation is not unchangeable and the following are some suggestions for you to relieve stress.

To begin with, keep a balance between study and rest. As a saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. You are supposed to take regular exercise to keep fit and energetic. Additionally, it's highly recommended to have brief conversations with close friends or trustworthy teachers, from whom you are meant to get confidence and comfort. Most importantly, you should find out your own strengths and weaknesses in your study, learn to be more organized and make a regular learning schedule.

Please take my suggestions into account. I’m convinced everything will be better and may you succeed in the examinations.

Yours sincerely,

Lihua

As soon as I changed my shoes, my mom’s voice came: “Where have you gone?” Hearing this, I was so nervous that I couldn’t utter a single word. Without getting the expected answer, my mom tightened her face, frowning and glaring at me, “Do you know your grades? Can you tell me what have you done in the past two months? Can you explain...” I could not hear the rest words. Because all my attention was paid to my dad who sat on the sofa. He didn’t say anything. But I could see he clenched his fists with anger burning in his eyes...
