Riya spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. She found it hard to make new friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of this changed after a P.E. class.
One day in P.E., the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track (跑道). Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole mile.
When the coach blew his whistle (吹口哨), Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. "It's just the beginning." she thought, "I'll come in last for sure. But what should I do? I cannot just stop here!"
Riya started using a mind trick (技巧) on herself. She stopped thinking about the word "mile". Instead, she decided to first reach the big tree up ahead. Then she ran to the place where the track turned. After that, she tried to see if she could finish her first lap (跑道的一圈). One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When the coach gave her a high five and said "Nice work", Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole mile.
As Riya walked back to the school building after P.E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size. Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run.
24.How was the first week of high school for Riya?
A. Relaxing.
B. Difficult.
C. Fantastic.
D. Boring.
25.What did Riya have to do in her P.E. class?
A. Count the trees around buildings.
B. Run a mile around the track.
C. Search for her classmates.
D. Learn to blow a whistle.
26.What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. The coach taught Riya a mind trick before the run.
B. Riya decided to first reach where the track turned.
C. Riya couldn't stop thinking about the word "mile".
D. A mind trick helped Riya run a whole mile successfully.
27.After P.E., Riya probably ______.
A. felt less worried
B. planted more trees
C. became a faster runner
D. found her school really small

What if my child doesn't have friends? Why does my child like to stay alone? Such thoughts probably trouble most parents at some point. People seem somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of a solitary (独处的) teenager. But
psychologists (心理学家) today believe solitude can help children grow, and some might not be getting enough of it.
It's believed that some important development can happen when young people are left to themselves. From the time most children are born, they look for small moments to be alone. As they grow up, they are sensitive to social pressures (压力) and their need for quiet moments begins to increase. In fact，solitude can help them breathe and get refreshed.
Research suggests that teenagers who spend some time by themselves seem to get better grades and have less depression (情绪低落) than those who don't. When teenagers begin to think on their own, the resulting
"self-connection" can serve them for the rest of their life. Rather than being easily influenced by the people around them, they'll be more likely to make decisions that line up with their own values.
Clearly none of this means that teenagers should always be by themselves; different children need different amounts of alone time. As long as it is reasonable, young people should be the ones deciding how much of that time is needed, not the grown-ups. Studies have shown that when young people turn to solitude themselves, they better manage "big emotions (情绪)" and learn more from their mistakes. Sometimes they want to be alone, but other times they may also just want some control (控制) over their own life.
And when young people are alone now, they're often on their phone or computer. That's not necessarily a bad thing. One study showed that social-media (社交媒体) use made college students feel better about solitude. But social-media use can also get in the way of the benefits of alone time. If you're still chatting with friends—or even just thinking about your online presence—you're not exactly in the wings.
Of course, some young people need time to get used to being alone. "Solitude skills" can be built up little by little. In the end, the hope is that young people can push through that discomfort and learn to sit with their feelings. And for those teenagers who naturally love solitude, people should know they're not loners. They are just enjoying their alone time.
When young people look for moments to keep to themselves, we just have to accept that and stay patient. When they are ready, they'll be back.
28.The need of solitude ______.
A. starts when a person is a child
B. ends when teenagers leave school
C. changes when people hold on to their values
D. increases when teenagers have less social pressure
29.The underlined words probably mean that social-media use can also ______.
A. teach young people to tell right from wrong
B. help young people improve their online presence
C. stop young people from making good use of solitary time
D. allow young people to sit with their feelings about solitude
30.When we find a teenager who enjoys solitude, we should ______.
A. relax and leave them alone
B. introduce them to friendly loners
C. teach them to control their life
D. invite them to join more activities
31.The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. encourage teenagers to improve solitude skills
B. draw people's attention to depression in young people
C. help people understand that teenagers need alone time
D. compare the advantages and disadvantages of solitude for children
32.Animals like elephants, beavers and ants could not seem more different. Yet they have one important thing in common: they are what scientists call "ecosystem (生态系统) engineers." As they go about their daily business of living, they change their own living environments. This is good not only for themselves, but many others as well. Ants
Ants have a great influence on the environment. They help to keep the soil (土壤) healthy by stirring it around and digging tunnels (挖隧道) that let in air and water. They also help to transport water and other important things to the roots of plants. Ants take care of the trees by clearing weeds and eating the eggs of some insects. What's more, they keep the ground clear of the bodies of smaller dead animals.
Elephants
Elephants are an excellent example of an ecosystem engineer. They play a big part in looking after the health of the environment.
By digging up grass and knocking over large trees, elephants make more space for other animals and some plants. This enables some small plants to get more water and sunshine. Elephants sometimes use their tusks (象牙) to dig dirt out of dry riverbeds, creating waterholes for other animals to drink. When they walk through the forest in groups, they always leave large footprints. When it rains, water fills the footprints and they become places in which frogs and insects lay eggs.
Beavers
Beavers are among the most hard-working ecosystem engineers, and they are always busy with their building work. They use their large front teeth to cut down some older trees, which clears the way for new growth and then create dams (水坝) to make ponds (池塘)—their favorite place to live. The pond provides beavers a place to get away from danger and to live. It is also a perfect home for other wildlife like birds, fish, frogs, turtles and some plants.
Beavers often build their house—which is called a lodge, in the middle of the pond or on the river bank. Inside the lodge, they have one area for storing their food, and another higher dry area for sleeping. The mud walls of the lodge help keep it warm in winter.
These are only a few of the best-known ecosystem engineers in natural world—others can be found almost everywhere!
(1) Can ants help to make the soil healthy?
(2) Who can help to keep the ground clear of the bodies of dead animals?
(3) How can elephants make more space for other animals and some plants?
(4) What do ponds provide for beavers and other wildlife?
(5) What is the passage mainly about?
33.别忘了带你的护照。

（passport）
34.我希望有一天你能加入我们。

35.妈妈每天晚上花一个小时的时间读书。

38.Brian was an honest (诚实的) man living in a village. All the people there praised (赞扬) and loved him. He was really happy about that.
One day while returning from work, he heard that some people were talking about him. He knew people of the village always praised him, so he couldn't stop himself from listening to them. When he heard their words, he became sad. Those people were not praising him but saying that he was too proud and always liked to show off.
Those words shocked him. He thought that until now he was under illusion (幻觉) that everyone liked and praised him while the truth was just the opposite.
From that day on, whenever he saw someone talking, he started thinking that they must be talking ill of him. Even
when anyone praised him, he would think of it as a joke.
Because of such thoughts, his behavior (行为) started changing and he was sad all the time. So, he went to his grandpa, Hans—the wisest man in his opinion—for help.
He told his grandpa the whole thing and said, "I am hurt.Everyone keeps speaking bad about me."
After listening carefully, Hans said, "Grandson, tonight you will have to stay at my place."
Brian agreed.
When he went to sleep at night, the sound of croaking of frogs (蛙叫) filled in his ears. There was a pond behind the place and the sound was coming from there.
He could not sleep well because of all the noise.
In the morning, he went to his grandpa and said, "I couldn't sleep because of all the noise. It seems that there must be hundreds of frogs living in that pond. You must also be having troubles because of them. Let's move them to a far-away river."
They went to the pond to move the frogs. It turned out that there were only a handful of frogs in the pond.
(1) What thoughts troubled Brian?
(2) What does the writer mainly want to tell us in this story?

38.【答案】【小题1】The thoughts that others didn't like him and always spoke ill of him.
【小题2】Some of our worries don't come from the reality but from our own imagination.
【解析】1.
【文章大意】本文讲述了Brian深受别人看法的影响，然后去找他的爷爷Hans，最后在爷爷的帮助下，Brian 明白了有时候我们的担忧不是来自现实，而是来自我们自己的想象。

根据文章第三段中的He thought that until now he was under illusion (幻觉)
that everyone liked and praised him while the truth was just the opposite.（他认为直到现在他幻想每个人都喜欢他，称赞他。

然而事实正好相反。

）和第四段中的From that day on, whenever he saw someone talking,
he started thinking that they must be talking ill of him.（从那天之后，每当他看见有人说话，他开始想他们一定在说他的坏话。

）可知，困扰Brian的是他认为别人不喜欢他，并说他的坏话。

故填The thoughts that others didn't like him and always spoke ill of him.
2. 根据文章第九段中的It seems that there must be hundreds of frogs living in that pond.（看起来那个池塘里有几百只青蛙。

）和第十段中的It turned out that there were only a handful of frogs in the pond.（结果发现池塘里的青蛙屈指可数。

）可知，这个故事告诉我们有时候我们的担忧不是来自现实，而是来自我们自己的想象。

故填Some of our worries don't come from the reality but from our own imagination.。
