Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here's something you can do.
Be calm（冷静）. Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can't solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems.

Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say "stop" before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn't stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

3．阅读理解
Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it? As you learned more and more. It seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept（概念）. You found that there was a lot more to know about it.
Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going.
One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions. Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in preparation. It's good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.
If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesn't do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking.

This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works.

8．阅读理解
According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.
However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.
Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.
And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.
Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The
researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.
But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.
（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.
B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.
C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.
D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.
（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.
A. has a brilliant future
B. can be better than most people think
C. has both advantages and disadvantages
D. can give us unlimited amounts of information
（3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?
A. It can help reduce loneliness.
B. It's more popular with students.
C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.
D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?
A. Social media isn't that important to us.
B. We can train our brine to do many things.
C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.
D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.
（5）Which of the followings is True?

B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.
