I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade. At that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.

It was just a normal conversation: After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to go all out because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after start school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her,“Why did you stop talking to me?”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you.

While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.
The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the Internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.
Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the Internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.
Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to
put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”8．Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?
A．Surfing the Internet.B．Watching videos.
C．Texting friends.D．Seeing movies.
9．Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?

B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.
C．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.
D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning.
10．What is the likely reason that passive screen activities have less impact on sleep compared to interactive activities?
A．Passive activities are less mentally exciting.
B．Passive activities are more mentally engaging.
C．Passive activities are more physically demanding.
D．Passive activities are more socially interactive
11．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hours
B．Parents should prevent children from using social media
C．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen use
D．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagers
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac, which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water; or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system(系统) brings the chair back to the top of the walkway.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the
inventors, Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like “a bag of potatoes”. Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked with his partners to design the system, finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system.
TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac. The system is solar-powered(太阳能) and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities. 140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future. The new Seatrac service is being provided for free to help attract more tourists to the country. TOBEA will offer a website showing where beaches with the special service can be found. Thanks to Seatrac, more and more people who use wheelchairs will have the chance to cool down witha swim in the sea.
12．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Why Seatrac needs hand control.B．How Seatrac is developed.
C．Why Seatrac is well received.D．How Seatrac works.
13．What can we know about the Seatrac system?
A．It requires a large storage space.B．It can be used all year round.
C．It’s environmentally friendly.D．It’s expensive to use.
14．What do the numbers in the last paragraph show?
A．The new service is promising.
B．The practice is being copied around the world.
C．The government has made much money.
D．The system is highly praised by the old.
15．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Greece Has Built Moving Walkways for the Disabled
B．Seatrac: Helping Wheelchair Users Enjoy the Sea.
C．TOBEA Is a Famous Factory Producing Wheelchairs
D．Fotiou: An Inventor Helping the Disabled

Track your progress. Sometimes, we can give up because we are unaware of how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. Then why not keep a record? It will remind you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal. 20
