Nathaniel was disoriented (迷惑的) from the smoke, so Jim caught him with his right hand. “Don't worry, kuya (big brother) is here,” Jim said as he protected Nathaniel from the flames with his own body.

You can read everything from strange ideas to true facts and everything in between. But when you're spending time online and reading so many opinions, it's quite possible that you'll sometimes see someone write something that you strongly disagree with.In fact, you might feel so strongly that you feel like you should reply to this person at once. You might do some research, find some facts of your own and reply to what they have written. You finish writing out your reply, click “Post” and win the argument!Except that it's not really much of a victory, most people don't like it when other people disagree with their ideas, especially online strangers. It's unlikely that they will change their opinions just because you argued with them. In fact, it's possible that you made them feel more confident that they're correct.And the thing is, when you get into these kinds of fights online, it slowly influences you. You might not know it at first, but the argument that you take part in can actually have a bad effect on your mood. If you argue often, you start to enjoyarguing and then end up doing it even more. It's a dangerous cycle.I guess the best thing to do is to tell yourself that most arguments aren't worth it. There are much better and more interesting things to do, whether online or in real life. ( )67. How does the writer feel about social media?A. People rarely (很少) use it to argue.B. Many people use it to voice their opinions.C. You can't know other people's real ideas.D. It is a good way to connect with strangers.( )68. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 3?A. It's easy to win arguments online.B. Arguments can change people's minds.C. Disagreeing with someone won't change their minds.D. People who post their ideas on social media are usually incorrect.( )69. What is the writer's advice?A. Argue until you find the truth.B. Don't discuss problems with strangers.C. Try to communicate in real life instead of communicating online.D. Find something better to do instead of arguing.E【2022·池州一模】The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract (白内障) operation, but cannot get one because they have little or no healthcare where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don't have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.For example, there are thousands of nearsighted African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe (成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can't harvest (收获) as many beans.This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, according to the report. A lack of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still cultural barriers (隔阂) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one's eyes worse. In other places, when kids start wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls. These beliefs and attitudes must be changed before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.( )70. What do the examples of African drivers and Bolivian farmers show?A. People with cataracts will go blind.B. There is no eye care in African countries.C. Too much work can cause vision problems.D. People with poor vision face many difficulties.( )71. Why do people in southern Asia still have problems getting glasses?A. Because wearing glasses makes them look ugly.B. Because only rich people can afford to buy glasses.C. Because wearing glasses can make their eyes worse.D. Because wearing glasses goes against their cultural beliefs.( )72. What is the best title for the text?A. Can we stop blindnessB. What causes low-income countriesC. The poor eye care service problemD. Why do we need to protect our eyes阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。

They wish you to give a loud“burp”(打嗝)after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food.In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad ma nners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do.

There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to ge t a break from housework.

Their parents had passed away long ago. Sam had taken care of Julie by himself.One day, Sam woke up at three in the morning as usual.

It was an icy morning and he looked very cold.The poor old man didn’t have anything to cover himself with. Sam went into his house to get the old man a blanket (毯子).However, there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his father’s coat. It was the only thing of his father’s that he had left. Sam wrote a short note.“Sir, I found you sleeping in front of my house. This is my father’s coat.I hope it fits you well.”He put the note in a pocket of the coat, and covered the old man with the coat. Then he went to work. When he came back three hours later, both the man and the coat were gone. Sam thought that it was the best thing he could have done with his father’s coat.That afternoon, Sam hurried home after school because Julie was at home alone.
