In terms of size, choose a waterproof camera that’s no more than two-and-a-half inches in length, two inches in width, and one-and-a-half inches in height so it’s easy to carry around.
It is a good idea to read comments of the camera carefully before buying it.

Let’s face it: Nobo dy really likes doing chores (家务) around the house. But at a certain age, our kids are old enough to start lending a hand with the housework. ____21____ But what exactly are the benefits that young children and teenagers get from doing chores?
Chores help teach life skills. They’re young now, but they won’t be kids forever! Washing clothes, cooking and cleaning the room are just some of the skills kids will need once they finally move out. ___22___ So it is really important to make kids learn them at home.
Chores teach kids how to follow directions. Whether you are giving instructions to a small child or a teenager, describing what you are expecting them to do and then doing it will teach them how to follow directions.___23___ Remember, only age-proper instructions can help them learn this important skill.
Chores teach responsibility and respect. Having your children clean up their own messes will give them a sense of responsibility. Task them with assisting in making the family’s meals.
___24___These will help them understand all that their parents do to keep the home running smoothly and be more respectful of it.
___25___Everyone in our home has their own jobs to do in order to allow our house to function. It not only lessens our own stress level and to-do list, but it teaches our kids that we all must work together as a team. They may complain, but they’ve come to understand that the chores they are tasked with each day or week are all a bigger part of keeping the family functioning. A．Chores encourage teamwork.
B．They can benefit from doing this.
C．Or let them sort their own clothes.
D．Speak to them at a level they'll understand.
E．These are also things that schools do not fully teach.
F．Encouraging kids to do chores will build their confidence.
G．Chores help improve planning and time management skills.
Kids’ birthday parties are wonderfully fun for all, but in the way that they are traditionally celebrated, they are the enemy of “zero waste living”. A kid’s birthday party can produce lots of waste, from the plates, cups, and uneaten food, to the gift wrap, present boxes, and disposable (一次性的) decorations.
It doesn’t have to be like that, though, as it is possible to hold a birthday party without waste. Here are some ideas on how to cut down on unnecessary waste and have a fun celebration. Invitations
Forget the themed paper invitations; they get thrown away almost immediately anyway.
____26____ The mobile phone is a common communication tool which enables your guests to receive the invitation at any time.
Decorations
____27____ Stay away from them altogether, including balloons. If you must decorate, choose some reusable, classic decorations that can be pulled out every single year, such as colored lights. Make your own painted and personalized banner, paper hats, and so on. Keep them for the next year.
Food
Don’t overdo the food preparation. ____28____ So you should put out only what is necessary, rather than ending up with loads of leftovers that are potentially ruined by the kids. Keep the rest for other meals. If other parents bring food, ask them to bring it in reusable containers.
Gifts
The gift giving part of a birthday party can produce a lot of unappealing trash, which is why you should choose an alternative. My kids have gone to several “toonie parties (a toonie is a two-dollar coin in Canada), where each guest gives two dollars in their card and that money can be used by the birthday child to buy a single toy. ____29____
In my years of parenting, I’ve realized that kids mostly just want to play together. ____30____ In other words, you don’t need to worry about it not feeling like a birthday. Furthermore, it will be a new and improved version that doesn’t include massive bags of trash at the end of the day. A．However, most parents find it hard to hold a “clean” party.
B．Decorations can usually make the party room more attractive.
C．Try using a basic email or phone call to create your guest list.
D．Decorations for kids’ birthday parties are almost always disposable.
E．They will create a party feeling without much assistance from parents.
F．Kids hardly eat anything at birthday parties because they’re so excited.
G．It’s a great idea for reducing waste and making a child’s birthday wishes come true.
Between childhood and adulthood, you go through many changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are at your core (核心)? ___31___ Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People tend to think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists (心理学家), that’s not how it works; personality doesn’t stay the same all your life. ___32___
That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. ___33___ In a study, researchers followed some adults for many years until their early 70s. They discovered that adulthood’s personality is actually stable in short time periods.
___34___ They will look at how a child reacts to the world. Research suggests that our childhood’s moods —for example, whether we’re easy-going or bad-tempered, willing or unwilling to approach strangers — shape our personality of older ages. ___35___ If a child is always shy and withdrawn (离群的), he may grow into an unhappy teenager. On the contrary, a happy childhood usually leads to a happy adulthood.
A．Instead, it changes — develops with age.
B．Growing into adulthood, what do you care about?
C．As you grow older, does your personality change?
D．However, you don’t have to be sad about the change.
E．In fact, the change can’t even be noticed in th e short term.
F．Psychologists don’t study children’s personalities, however.
G．And these early moods seem to be related to our later years of life.
Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)?
When visiting the British Museum, you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. ___36___
Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. ___37___ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.
___38___ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.
But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. ___39___
Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves? Some people just want to make sure the artworks are real. But there’s a larger truth. ___40___ Visitors say that they want to feel how
deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills. In this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.
A．Touch was allowed in museums at first.
B．It helps to show respect for the ancient artists.
C．You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more.
D．Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around.
E．You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them.
F．But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching.
G．Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room.
How to preserve the lockdown’s slower pace
The last 15 months of pandemic forced a slowdown in families’ often-crazed pace. Sports and after-school activities all disappeared in 2020. Now, communities reopen and calendars again fill with summer plans. ____41____ In a recent research, 31 percent of families said that they plan to take part in fewer after-school activities. Megan, a mother of two teenagers, learned how stressful a crowded schedule could be. Now, with less running around to sports and singing practices, both Megan and her children are enjoying the simple things in life. ____42____
____43____ In fact, all of us now have a unique opportunity to turn to what we care about and to be intentional about our time. To do so, make a list of the pros and cons of your life right now, and refer to that list as your calendar fills up. It’s important to identify and establish boundaries to help preserve the pros. ____44____
When making your list of pros and cons, be specific about any of your daily interactions that were harmful, relationships that were unproductive, and the life patterns that made you unhappy. Ridding a harmful person of your life can be trickier than setting aside a hobby. ____45____ If the pandemic has been a welcome dismissal (摒弃) of these relationships, this moment is the best chance you might ever have to do so.
A．The pandemic challenged parents everywhere.
B．The chance to change attitu des isn’t just for parents.
C．So set up reminders to reduce your schedule regularly.
D．But we all have relationships that don’t benefit both sides.
E．They spend time at the dining table and even outdoors together.
F．Some parents are still determined to hold on to the relaxed pace.
G．You should consider any people in your life who drag you down.
We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. ___46___ If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.
Don't expect to have it all.
___47___ You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if" situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.
___48___
It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point
where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.
Don't delay making decisions.
Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. ___49___ Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness (犹豫不决).
Don't be hard on yourself.
You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect an illness that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days.___50___But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
A．Don't spend too much time thinking.
B．It is an important source of information.
C．You may regret making such a stupid decision.
D．Don't count on emotion to make decisions.
E．Maybe you wish to ask your advisor for help.
F．Decisions force us to give up something.
G．That means the skill of good decision-making is really important.

)可知，此处表达要放弃书面邀请的方式，结合下一句“The mo bile phone is a common communication tool which enables your guests to receive the invitation at any time.”(手机是一种常见的通讯工具，可以让客人随时收到邀请函。

)可知，此处提及手机是一个广泛使用的交流工具，由此可以推断空处应是倡导人们用手机等非纸质类来邀请人们，C选项“Try using a basic email or phone call to create your guest list.”(尝试使用一个基本的电子邮件或电话来创建你的客人名单。

)符合，承上启下，故选C项。

2.根据小标题Decorations(装饰)可知此段应该与“装饰”有关，根据下文“Stay away from them
altogether, including balloons. If you must decorate, choose some reusable, classic decorations that can be pulled out every single year, such as colored l ights. ”(远离它们，包括气球。

如果你必须装饰，选择一些可重复使用的经典装饰，每年都可以拿出来，比如彩灯。

)可知，此处指出非必要不要装饰，如果必须装饰，选用可重复使用的装饰品等，由此可以推断出空处应该是描写“装饰品”的缺点，D选项“Decorations for kids’ birthday parties are almost always disposable.”(孩子生日派对的装饰品几乎都是一次性的。

)符合，其中下文的“them”代指选项中的“Decorations”，故选D项。

3.下文中的So(因此)表明空处与下句话存在因果关系，根据下一句“So you should put out only what is necessary, rather than ending up with loads of leftovers that are potentially ruined by the kids.”(所以你应该把必要的东西拿出来，而不是最后剩一堆食物可能会被孩子们毁掉。

)可知，此处表达只拿出必要量的食物而不是最后剩一大堆食物被孩子们破坏。

F选项“Kids hardly eat anything at birthday parties because they’re so excited.”(孩子们在生日派对上很少吃东西，因为他们太兴奋了。

)符合，作为下文的原因，即因为孩子们在生日派对上很少吃东西，所以应该把必要的东西拿出来，而不是剩下一大堆食物，故选F项。

4.根据上一句“My kids have gone to several “toonie parties (a toonie is a two-dollar coin in Canada), where each guest gives two dollars in their card and that money can be used by the birthday child to buy a single toy.”(我的孩子们参加过几次“toonie派对”（toonie在加拿大是两美元的硬币），每位客人在他们的卡片里放两美元，这些钱可以让过生日的孩子用来买一个玩具。

)可知，此处解释并阐明了“toonie parties”的特点，由此可以推断出，空处应该是进一步描写“toonie parties”，G选项“It’s a great idea for reducing waste and making a child’s birthday wishes come true.”(这是个减少浪费，实现孩子生日愿望的好主意。

)符合，承接上文，描写了“toonie parties”的好处，故选G项。

5.由下文“In other words”(换句话说)说明下一句话所表达的意思与空处意思相近，由下句“In other words, you don’t need to worry about it not feeling like a birthday.”(换句话说，你不需要担心它不像是一个生日派对。

)可知，此处表明你不必为生日聚会的氛围担心。

空处也应围绕聚会氛围来描述，E选项“They will create a party feeling without much assistance from parents.”(没有父母的帮助，他们会创造一种聚会的感觉。

)符合，故选E项。

31、C
牝32、A
牝33、E
牝34、F
牝35、G
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

主要介绍了随着年龄的增长，人的性格也会发生变化，童年的情绪会塑造之后的性格。

牝31、下文“Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People tend to think of personality as fixed.”（性格是一个人特有的思想、情感和行为模式。

人们往往认为性格是固定不变的。

）说明性格是人所固有的思想、情感和行为模式，C项中personality是关键词，“随着年龄的增长，你的性格会改变吗？”承上启下，符合题意。

故选C项。
