In ancient Greek mythlgy, we learn abut a yung man named Narcissus. He was s beautiful that he fell in lve with his wn reflectin. But sn he realized that what he lved was nt real. As a result he became sad and died. In the place where he had std appeared a yellw flwer—a narcissus. This is where the wrd “narcissism” came frm. Unfrtunately, this wrd is ften used negatively—it is usually used t mean being self­centered and nt caring abut thers.
Hwever, part f the reasn that narcissism carries these negative meanings is that many peple admire themselves in an unhealthy way. But the truth is that gd self­lve is necessary fr ur mental health, scientists say. A study shws that lw self­esteem is respnsible fr many scial prblems, and it can affect teenagers seriusly. When they feel less cnfident and nt as gd as their classmates, teenagers are mre likely t suffer frm depressin, accrding t the BBC.
Anther reasn that narcissism is cnsidered an ugly thing is that we are taught that we shuld care mre abut thers than urselves and that it's better t give than t receive. But psychlgists say that the lve fr thers is actually based n self­lve—if yu see yurself as an unpleasant stranger, hw can yu make friends with anyne else? The best way t defeat a negative self­image is t step back and build yur pride. Make a list if yu need, and recrd all f the great things yu d every day. Think abut hw yu are always there fr yur friends; hw yu help yur classmates with their hmewrk.
If yu think yu're weak because yu can't finish a 1，500­meter run, get t the track and practice. If yu think yu're dull because yu are nt in fashin, buy a few new clthes. But remember, just because yu think it,__it desn't mean it's true.
The next time yu lk in the mirrr, try t tell yurself that yu are ne f a kind. Pick ut yur best qualities and be prud f yurself.

Slwing dwn was the last thing n Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjyed an ambitius travel schedule fr the previus decade. She didn't feel t ld t travel.
Yet many peple are asking that slightly embarrassing questin: Can yu be t ld t travel? The travel industry has already respnded. Try renting a car in Eurpe, fr example, in Cratia, Schaefer wuldn't be able t this year, because the maximum age t rent a car is 70. Insurance cmpanies require higher rates; tur peratrs limit certain activities. That feels like a “n” fr many senir travelers.
Definitely sme flks shuld think twice befre traveling, but nt nly based n their age. It's their level f fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a frmer tur guide wh nw edits a retirement blg. She recalls a 93­year­ld wh was disabled and traveling alne n a Caribbean tur. “Yu can't expect t ask a tur leader t be there fr yu 24/7 fr medical care，” she says. “Tur guides dn't have the time, skills, and knwledge fr it. S, in this case, my advice is: he shuldn't have traveled with us in this situatin.”
But sme tur peratrs serve lder travelers. Fr example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 t serve senir members. “We have travelers in their 80s and even 90s. Sme travel in grups and sme alne，” says cmpany spkeswman Ann Shannn. “We have n age limit.”
If yu ask travel experts, they'll tell yu that age is just a number. It's a questin f physical and t a certain extent, mental ability. “Many f ur travelers are retired, fcused n keeping their gd health, and are experienced travelers wh have a gd idea f what t expect，” says Sara Baer­Sinntt, president f Oldways, a fd and nutritin nt­fr­prfit that perates turs. “Smene in their 40s may struggle mre than smene in their 80s.”
5．What is expected if Schaefer travels in Cratia this year?
A．She can rent a car t g arund.
B．She has t pay mre insurance fees.
C．She can jin in all kinds f activities.
D．She will receive 24/7 medical care.
6．What caused Veldman t disapprve f the 93­year­ld's traveling?
A．His ld age.
B．His lack f mney.
C．His pr health.
D．His insciable persnality.
7．What d we knw abut Grand Circle Travel?
A．It is a nn­prfit traveling rganizatin.
B．It ffers service t a wide range f travelers.
C．It has a histry f mre than seven decades.
D．Its main custmers are senir travelers.
8．What is the authr's attitude tward senir traveling?
A．Oppsed. B．Supprtive.
C．Tlerant. D．Objective.

[2022·金华十校4月模拟]Architects have lng had the feeling that the places we live in can affect ur thughts, feelings and behavirs. But nw scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (实证的) basis. They are discvering hw t design space that prmtes creativity, keeps peple fcused and leads t relaxatin.
Researches shw that aspects f the physical envirnment can influence creativity. In 2007, Jan Meyers­Levy at the University f Minnesta, reprted that the height f a rm's ceiling affects hw peple think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encurage peple t think mre freely, which may lead them t make mre abstract cnnectins. Lwer ceilings, n the ther hand, may inspire a mre detailed utlk.
In additin t ceiling height, the view affrded by a building may influence a persn's ability t cncentrate. Nancy Wells and her clleagues at Crnell University fund in their study that kids wh experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result f a family mve made the mst gains in a standard test f attentin. Accrding t anther study at the University f Gergia, using nature t imprve the fcus f attentin seems t pay ff academically. They fund that students in classrms with unblcked views f at least 50 feet utside the windw had higher scres in tests f vcabulary, language arts and maths than thse students whse classrms primarily verlked rads and parking lts.
A recent study n rm lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps peple t lsen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light lw during dinner r at parties culd increase relaxatin. Researchers f Harvard Medical Schl als discvered that furniture with runded edges culd help visitrs relax.
S far scientists have fcused mainly n public buildings. “We have a very limited number f studies, s we're almst lking at the prblem thrugh a straw，” architect David Allisn says. “Hw d yu take answers t very specific questins and make brad, generalized use f them? That's what we're all struggling with.”

“I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzball，” my 15­year­ld sn shuted frm his rm. “Oh, what is Scuzball's real name？” I asked. “I have n idea，” he said. “Where is he frm？” I cntinued. He respnded, “I think smewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it desn't even matter because Scuzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a rbt.”
“Yur friend is replaced by artificial intelligence？” “It desn't matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game cntinues.” My sn desn't mind playing with a persn r a rbt, which is typical f gamers these days. I wnder whether the face­t­face experience f friendship that I grew up with will be lst.
Aristtle, a great thinker and educatr, has pinted ut that shallw friendship is easily frmed but als easily abandned because such bnds are fragile. Deep friendship, by cntrast, is when yu care fr yur friend fr his sake, nt fr any benefit yu can get. This is selfless friendship. Yu can have nly a cuple f these friends because they require lts f time and effrt. Yu must make sacrifices fr each ther.
True friendship requires “being with” and “ding fr”. Perhaps the mst defining feature f deep friendship is “ding fr”， as my friend has my back when I'm in truble r brings me sup when I'm sick. Only strng bnds have the pwer t mtivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why nline “friends” wuld nt bther t d the hard wrk f friendship. When I asked my students whether they had peple in their lives wh wuld bring them sup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stne Age questin and said they'd just rder sup nline.
Digital life fills and absrbs waking life time s that peple d nt jin in typical activities f friendship, like sprts, cllective arts, free range childhds, etc. In this way, digital lies prduce false friendships.

C．By intrducing a game.
D．By shwing rbts' strage data.

6．What des the authr want t tell his students in Paragraph 4?
A．Strng bnds are frmed easily.
B．Ordering fd nline is cnvenient.
C．Rbts will have ur back.
D．Virtual friends wn't make real sacrifices.

[2022·青岛市高三练习诊断]阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One spring mrning many years ag, I had been prspecting fr gld alng Ch Creek. As I emerged frm a frest, I frze in my tracks. N mre than 20 paces away in the bg (沼泽) was a huge Alaskan timber wlf—caught in ne f Trapper Gerge's traps.
Old Gerge had died the previus week f a heart attack, s the wlf was lucky. Cnfused and frightened at my apprach, the wlf backed away, pulling hard n the trap chain. Then I nticed smething else: It was a female, and her teats (奶头) were full f milk. Smewhere there was a den (窝) f hungry pups waiting fr their mther.
Frm her appearance, I guessed that she had been trapped nly a few days. That meant her pups were prbably still alive. But I suspected that if I tried t release the wlf, she wuld turn aggressive and try t tear me t pieces.
S I decided t search fr her pups instead and began t lk fr incming tracks that might lead me t her den. Frtunately, there were still a few remaining patches f snw.
The tracks led a half mile thrugh the frest, and I finally sptted the den. There wasn't a sund inside. Wlf pups are shy and cautius，and I didn't have much hpe f tricking them utside. But I had t try. S I began cpying the squeak (吱吱声) f a mther wlf calling her yung. N respnse. A few mments later, after I tried again, fur tiny pups appeared. I extended my hands, and they tentatively (试探性地) sucked at my fingers. Perhaps hunger had helped vercme their natural fear. Then, ne by ne, I placed them in a bag and headed back.
When the mther wlf sptted me, she std straight. Pssibly picking up the scent (气味) f her yung, she let ut a srrw­stricken cry. I released the pups, and they raced t her. Within secnds, they were slurping (出声地吃) at her belly.
