3.The idea f lw material desire, lw cnsumptin and refusing t wrk, marry and have children, cncluded as a “lying dwn” lifestyle, recently
struck a chrd with many yung Chinese wh are eager t take pause t breathe in this fast-paced and highly-cmpetitive sciety.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generatin Zs cmplained t the Glbal Times that burdens, including wrk stress, family disputes and financial
strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “invlutin(内卷),” jking that they wuld rather give up sme f what they
have than get trapped in an endless cmpetitin against peers.
“Instead f always fllwing the ‘virtues’ f struggle, endure and sacrifice t bear the stresses, they prefer a temprary lying dwn as catharsis
(宣泄) and adjustment,” said a schlar. “It is n wnder that sme yung peple, under the grwing pressures frm child-raising t paying the
mrtgage (按揭) tday, wuld try t live in a simple way and leave the wrries behind.”
Interestingly, the majrity f millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Glbal Times, wh claim t be big fans f the lying dwn philsphy,
acknwledged that they nly accept a temprary lying dwn as a shrt rest. It is true that with the great imprvement f living cnditins, sme Chinese
yuth have partially lst the spirit f hardship and are nt willing t bear t much hard wrk. But in fact, lying dwn is nt entirely cmfrtable. Yung
peple wh lie dwn always feel guilty abut their cnstant lss f mrale (士气) far beynd their reach.
“Yung peple n campus have bth aspiratins and cnfusin abut their future, but mst f us have rejected setting urselves up in chains t
waste pprtunities and challenges,” a pstgraduate student tld the Glbal Times. “It’s n use running away. I have t ‘stand up’ and face the
reality sner r later.”

B．Grwing pressure frm family and scial life.
C．Increasing material pssessins frm families.
D．Temprary adjustment t failure in cmpetitins.
【小题3】What’s the schlar’s attitude tward the “lying dwn” grup?
A．Understanding.
B．Intlerant.
C．Supprtive.
D．Unclear.
【小题4】What can be inferred abut the yung generatin frm the text?

4.We nrmally think f bacteria as ur enemies. But they aren’t all bad. Our bdies are full f them and it turns ut we can’t live withut them.
Frm the mment we’re brn, we acquire, and develp an internal ecsystem f symbitic bacteria and ther micrbes (微生物) — they are
interdependent players in ur bdy. In fact, there are rughly as many micrbial cells in ur bdies as human cells. This micrbial wrld is called ur
micrbime (微生物组).
While sme micrbes can make us ill, we need ur micrbime t survive. Cmbined, they are every bit as essential as ur heart, ur lungs, r ur
brain. Mst f the micrbime is fund in ur gut (肠道). They are essential fr digestin and help regulate hrmnes and bst ur immune system.
A healthy cllectin f micrbes seems t be vital fr ur well-being, prtecting against sme f the biggest health threats. On the ther hand,
having an unhealthy micrbime may be a cntributing factr fr many cmmn diseases. Our mdern lifestyles, western diets and veruse f
antibitics might all be having a harmful effect n ur internal eclgy.
S hw d yu develp a healthy micrbime in the gut? Well, it seems that the mre diverse yur micrbial ppulatin is, the better. And the best
way t increase yur diversity is t eat a wide range f plant-based fds. Research shws that peple wh have at least 30 plant-based elements in their
diet every week have a wider range f bacteria in their gut, and that’s linked t better weight management, better heart heath and better mental
health. One easy way t bst yur numbers is t add a teaspn f mixed seeds t yur breakfast.
The influence f yur gut micrbes ges a lt further than yu might think. In the last 20 years, we’ve learned that they cmmunicate cnstantly
with the brain, perhaps even having cntrl ver yur md and emtins.
【小题1】What is generally thught abut bacteria accrding t the passage?
A．They d harm t ur bdy and health.
B．They cexist with each ther in ur bdy.
C．They independently play a part in ur bdy.
D．The micrbial wrld is as imprtant as ur rgans.
【小题2】Which statement might the authr agree with?
A．Plant-based diets make peple healthier.
B．Micrbime is mre imprtant than ur brain.
C．There’s sme link between the diversity f bacteria and health.
D．The veruse f antibitics leads t increase in micrbime.
【小题3】What might be discussed after the last paragraph?
A．Examples f gut micrbes.
B．Gut micrbes and mental welling-being.
C．Interactins f micrbes in ur bdy.
D．Ways t identify beneficial gut micrbes.
【小题4】What’s the best title fr the passage?
A．Gut micrbes: Fighters in the bdy
B．The micrbime: A cure f all diseases
C．Gut micrbes: Prtectrs f mental health
D．The micrbime: A cntributr t ur health
5.Hw t cmmunicate better with ther peple
As peple wh live in sciety we need t cmmunicate daily with ther peple——friends, families, c-wrkers, ur partners and s n, regardless f
whether we like scial relatinships.
【小题1】
There are five tips t help yu.
Adapt yur language. It is necessary that yu knw hw t adapt yur language t the training and educatinal level f the persn yu are speaking
with and t the cntext where the cnversatin takes place.
【小题2】
Smetimes, when trying t generate a cnversatin, peple say things withut really thinking abut them. These expressins can
give us a wrng idea f what a persn really is like. Give yurself a little mre time t cntinue the cnversatin, s yu can get t knw the ther
persn better.
Lk int the eyes. If yu d nt lk directly int the eyes when yu speak, it can give the feeling that yu wuld like t be smewhere else r that
the cnversatin ends as sn as pssible. But lking very fixedly withut lking away can make the ther persn uncmfrtable.
【小题3】

Make peple feel cmfrtable when talking t yu.
【小题4】
If yu detect these types f signals, it is best t make peple feel relaxed by
making a jke, adapting yur ral and gestural language r shwing that yu care abut the persn and what they tell yu.
Practice active listening. Lking int the eyes, ndding r adding small cmments is what is knwn as active listening. During the cnversatin, it is
necessary t remain silent.
【小题5】
D nt have a passive attitude with the subject, which shws symptms f interest in what they tell yu.
A．D nt judge ahead f time.
B．Smetimes, peple get nervus when talking t yu.
C．Bdy language can help us slve this prblem.
D．It is unnecessary t learn hw t express yurself crrectly.
E．Hwever, it is mre imprtant t give signals that yu are paying attentin.
F．S the ideal is t find a balance, then frget abut it and d it naturally.
G．Learning t make yurself understd and interact crrectly with thers is very imprtant.

N sner had I finished the midterm exam than I knew I failed in maths again. Mrs. Steward, my maths teacher, asked me t stay after schl t talk
abut my maths study. I was amng thse students wh wrked hard and achieved academic success at schl — apart frm maths. Thugh I did well in
many ther subjects, I wuldn’t be n the hnr rll (光荣榜) that term if I culdn’t make significant prgress in maths. And, the hnr rll wuld be
annunced in just several weeks. I was frustrated.
Having sptted my depressin, Mrs. Steward said, “There will be anther imprtant maths test befre the hnr rll is fixed. Cheer up! I culd spare
sme time after schl t help yu. Yu can make it.” “N, thanks,” I declined, adding that I just wanted t g hme and never think abut maths
again. “I am just naturally a pr maths learner.” I almst cried.
Mrs. Steward didn’t give up. She lked me in the eye and said, “Yu are gd at learning. I believe yu can change it if we wrk tgether.” Fr a
mment, I kept silent, wndering if she might be right. “What time des yur bus cme?” she asked. “In half an hur,” I replied. She asked if I wuld
like t use the time t deal with the math prblems I met in the exam. Encuraged by her, I began t lk at my midterm maths paper.
We settled the difficulties in the paper and made a plan t meet every ther day after schl fr the fllwing three weeks. She went ver each
prblem, carefully explaining the slutins. Smetimes I had difficulty understanding her explanatin, and she wuld cme up with a different apprach
