Running Your Own Race
Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new. When I was a teenager, I volunteered to pass out water to the runners at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past.
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it, too! The next year I was told about the race. Although I had little running practice, I decided to run for the race. I didn’t want to win. My only goal was to experience it. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was very hot. After running for about 8 km, I thought, “I must be crazy. I am not good at running. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I even said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I ran, I walked, I ran and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed ( 尴尬的 ). I was more than 50 years younger than him, but I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ( 比较 ) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up running races, and one day in the future I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret ( 后悔 ) having such an experience.

The Elephant Herd
The Elephant is lovely and it is very big. It has two big ears and a long nose. It has four strong legs and it can help people do many things, such as watering the flowers with its nose and carrying heavy things and so on.
The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd ( 群 ) usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd usually depend on one another for help when they are in trouble.
The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female ( 雌性的 ). She travels at the head of the herd and the other females and their young children follow her. The male elephants follow last. When the danger comes, the male elephants form a circle ( 圈 ) around the weaker animals and protect them. The members of the herd are loyal ( 忠诚的 ) to one another. A sick elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is hurt, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. A member of the herd may be caught in a trap ( 陷阱 ). Then the others try to help it. An elephant herd is just like a family of our people.
Elephants love the young in the group and give them special care and love. For example, they help young animals stay afloat ( 漂浮着 ) when the herd crosses a river. They work together to help a child get to the safety when it goes to a dangerous place. The way elephants love and care the youngsters is like ours.
When a female elephant gives birth to her young baby, she will go out of the herd and she usually leaves the herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as “aunt”. The aunt stands beside and helps the mother with her new-born baby. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.
That’s the elephant herd. Do you like it?

There are many ways to help improve your health, like eating healthy food, exercising and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But some people need to sleep more while it is enough for some people to sleep for a few hours.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived . Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also, sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure ( 高血压 ).
Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In American culture, people put a higher value ( 价值 ) on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy” . Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep, and they only sleep four or five hours at night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert ( 专家 ) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card ( 信用卡 ). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your sleep credit card.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”

The Little Boy’s Races
Once in a village lived a little boy named Jacob. He was very athletic and famous for running fast. What’s more, winning a competition was the most important for him. One day, Jacob took part in a running competition held in the village. In the competition, he competed with two other young boys.
As the first race started, the excited crowd waved at Jacob and cried out his name. The boy called on his determination ( 决心 ) and strength, and he was the first one who came to the finishing line. The little boy felt proud.
Later the second race was called. Another two young and strong challengers ( 挑战者 ) came forward and ran with Jacob. As expected, he finished first again. The crowd became crazy and cried out his name. The little boy felt more satisfied. He started to shout, “Another race! Another race! I bet no one will win against me!”
An old man was watching all this. He stepped forward and with him he presented two new challengers. One was a weak old lady and the other was a blind man. Jacob was quite surprised and asked, “What’s this? This is no race!” The old man replied, “Race!”
When all were set on the starting line, the third race started. In the end, Jacob was the only one to finish that race, leaving two challengers standing at the starting line. The little boy raised his arms in delight. But to his surprise, this time no one from the crowd was cheering and everyone was just looking at him silently. “What happened? Why are people not cheering?” Jacob asked the old man. The old man replied, “Race again but this time finish together with your challengers.”
After thinking for a while, Jacob went to the starting line again and stood in the middle of the old lady and the blind man. The final race began. He took both of them by hand and started to walk slowly. At last they crossed that finishing line. This time at the end of the race, the crowd stood up and warmly applauded for him.
Jacob didn’t understand why the crowd was not cheering for him before but now when all three of them finished the race together. So he asked the old man about it.

Social Media, Friends or Enemies?
It’s no surprise that the pressure to stay on social media is a real challenge for today’s teenagers. They spend too much time using QQ, WeChat and other social media. For many teens, social media can become almost addictive . Some teenagers can’t even live a normal life without social media.
According to a study, people who used more than seven social media platforms had more than three times the risk of depression ( 抑郁症 ) than people who used two or fewer. Children who overuse social media are likely to show less interest in social activities and experience an increase in loneliness.
Teens often feel emotionally invested ( 情感投入 ) in their social media accounts. Not only do they feel pressure to answer quickly online, but they also feel pressure to have perfect photos and posts, which can cause a lot of worries. In fact, some studies have found that the larger a person’s social circle online is, the more worried they will feel about keeping up with everything online.
A British study shows one-fifth of the teens have trouble sleeping at night because of social media use. They “almost always” wake up during the night and log in to social media. In addition to reporting feeling tired all the time, they also reported being less happy on average than teens whose sleep was not affected by social media. Besides, not having enough sleep can lower the immune ( 免疫的 ) system and make it more likely for a teen to get sick.
Overuse of social media can lead to jealousy ( 嫉妒 ) and envy among teenagers as well. People tend to post only the positive things that they experience, or make light of the bad with funny stories. As a result, another person’s life may look perfect online, but offline they have struggles just like anyone else. It is easy for a teen to play the comparison ( 比较 ) game and start thinking that everyone is happier or better offline than he or she is.
Many teens spend so much time online checking messages that they forget to communicate with the people right in front of them. As a result, teens risk having poor relationships in their lives when social media takes center stage.
It is important that parents understand the possible influence that social media has on their kids. For this reason, it is important to set up guides for social media use among kids. It’s also important for families to have regular discussions on how to use social media reasonably and safely. When families pay close attention to the teens’ world of social media, their online world will become much more manageable.
1 ． The underlined word “addictive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A ． too enjoyable for them to stop B ． able or likely to harm or kill them
C ． very useful for gathering information D ． always busy making them healthy
2 ． According to Paragraph 5, overuse of social media among teenagers may lead to ________.
A ． wonderful social activities B ． bad offline comparisons
C ． exciting emotion experience D ． serious sleeping problems
3 ． We can learn from the passage that ________.
A ． sleep loss affected by social media is both physically and mentally harmful
B ． social media interaction can work as well as face-to-face communication
C ． teenagers tend to compare their lives with others in reality and feel better
D ． the use of social media platforms will lead to depression in teenagers
4 ． What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A ． To remind us how social media use affects teenagers’ health.

My grandparents lived in an old house on a farm. In 1963, at the age of 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house. He didn’t want to pull it down. In the end, he used a bulldozer ( 推土机 ) to push the old house far out into the trees. That old house sat there from then on.
After my grandparents passed away, I bought the farm. My wife and I raised our sons on this place and lived here for more than 30 years. When we first moved in, my wife took one look at the lonely house and said it was a danger. So I went to check out the old house. Maybe, something of value had been left behind in it.
I felt as if I had found a time capsule ( 时间胶囊 ). Here lay something that showed my grandparents’ lives—a broken chair, some old clothes and a radio. But the thing that drew my eyes was a cardboard box filled with papers. There were letters from old friends and relatives, now all dead and gone. There was also an uncle’s third-grade spelling book at the bottom of the box.
The years passed and we visited many places. When I looked at the old house through the trees, I wondered: How did my grandparents manage? How did they live in the storms and the hard time? I remembered how, as a child, I would try to walk after my father and enjoyed the life on the farm.

Some people have fun collecting rocks. Collecting rocks is easy — you just pick up a rock! But here are a few ideas to get you started on your rock collection.
Which rocks to collect
You can collect rocks according to color, shape, quality or anything that you find interesting. Many rock collectors try to collect all the connected rocks from the area where they live. Others look for unusual rocks from places they visit.
Where to find rocks
Your rock collection can start with rocks you find in your own backyard or neighborhood. Look for rocks in river beds or areas of erosion( 侵蚀 ) where you can often find unusual rocks. Interesting rocks can also be found in places where humans have cut into the earth, like road cuts and construction sites.
Cleaning and showing your rocks
As you collect rocks, it’s a good idea to keep a record of when and where you found it. You can make a sign with a piece of tape and put it to your rock. Record the fact of your find in a field notebook. You can put rocks into egg boxes or shoe boxes. If you want to show your rocks, try an artistic glass bottle.
How to find more information
Many cities have rock clubs that offer useful classes. Local rock shows also offer helpful information about rocks and you can buy or sell rocks there. What’s more, many natural history museums have exhibitions where you can know more about rocks.

If you’re a kid who likes to have fun and chat with friends online, here’s how you can stay safe and avoid problems.
Choose safer sites. Your parents and teachers can guide you to the best sites for you. Some sites have age restrictions ( 限制 ), so it’s safer to tell the truth and keep away from those sites until you’re older. Also remember that plenty of sites let you play games and have fun without asking you to create an account ( 帐户 ).
Guard your passwords. To keep people from guessing your password, don’t pick something easy like your pet’s name or your favourite team. For a truly secret password, try picking two very random ( 随机的 ) words that have nothing to do with you (lampshadeMilk). To keep it super secret, put a number between the words (lampshade7Milk). Remember not to share your passwords with anyone except your parents.
Limit what you share. It’s best to think first and type second when you’re sharing something about yourself online. You probably already know that you shouldn’t tell a stranger where you live or give out your phone number. And be careful not to send pictures that include other people or that allow others to see exactly where you are. Some phones and computers will state your location, so always be sure your location apps are turned off.
Be choosy about your online friends. Some sites let kids make lots of friends with people they don’t know. Some kids even compete to see who can get the most friends. But online friends are not the same as real in-person friends.
Never agree to meet an online friend in person or give out personal information about yourself, such as your home address, where you go to school, or your phone number. It’s dangerous because some adults pretend ( 假装 ) to be kids online.
1 ． What should you do when you meet some sites with age restrictions?
A ． Tell the truth. B ． Share it with friends.
C ． Use others’ accounts. D ． Pretend you are an adult.
2 ． Which of the following is a super secret password?
A ． NBA ． B ． 20071201.
C ． keyflower3Tiger. D ． lampshadeMilk.
3 ． According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?
A ． Think first and type second.
B ． Try to get the most friends online.
C ． Be careful about your personal information.
D ． Always remember to turn off your location apps.
4 ． What is the best title of the passage?
A ． Online Rules to Follow. B ． Online Problems You Meet.
C ． How to Choose Safer Sites. D ． How to Make Friends Online.

2 ． C

本文讲了在网上和朋友聊天的一些注意事项，详细地介绍了如何保持安全和避免问题的方法。
1. 细节理解题。根据 “Some sites have age restrictions ( 限制 ), so it’s safer to tell the truth and keep away from those sites until you’re older. ” 有些网站有年龄限制，所以更安全的做法是说实话，在你长大之前远离这些网站。可知要说实话，故选 A 。
2. 细节理解题。根据 “For a truly secret password, try picking two very random ( 随机的 ) words that have nothing to do with you (lampshadeMilk). To keep it super secret, put a number between the words (lampshade7Milk).” 对于一个真正的秘密密码，试着随机选择两个与你无关的单词（ lampshadeMilk ）。为了保守秘密，在单词之间加一个数字（ lampshade7Milk ）。可知， keyflower3Tiger 是超级密码。故选 C 。
3. 推理判断题。根据 “Be choosy about your online friends.” 对你的在线朋友要挑剔。可以推出试着在网上交到最多的朋友是错误的。故选 B 。

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. Some started to do DIY in the 1960s. There is a saying in the UK—“An Englishman’s home is his castle ( 城堡 )”. About 5.6 million people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles” every year. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people enjoy the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY to save money. With the economy ( 经济 ) becoming worse at present, many people don’t have enough money to buy a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it looks. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. All in all, it is a very good and suitable thing for many people.
1 ． Is DIY quite popular in the UK?

Friendship without Borders
Foreigners were awarded the Friendship Medal for their contributions to China’s development.
Isabel Crook was a 105-year-old Canadian, born in 1915 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. At that time, Isabel’s mother began schools for the deaf and dumb Chinese. Her father, Homer, helped begin The West China Union University in Chengdu. Isabel has spent most of her life in China. On September 30th 2019, as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) celebrated its 70th anniversary, Isabel Crook received the highest honor of her life—the PRC’s Friendship Medal.
Crook’s longest living outside of China was six years at the University of Toronto, where she got a master of art degree with a minor in anthropology ( 人类学 ), returning to China in 1939. From that year, she worked as an anthropologist in Sichuan and was interested in understanding people’s culture and living condition. Isabel went door-to-door meeting the local people and kept detailed records of their daily life.
She married David Crook, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, in 1942 and joined his party the same year. In 1947, the couple did research in a village called Shilidian in Hebei Province. The village can also be called Ten Mile Inn. Based on their study, the couple wrote a book titled Revolution in a Chinese Village: Ten Mile Inn, which was first published in London in 1959.
In 1948, David and Isabel began to teach English at a newly well-known Foreign Affairs School, where they would help prepare a few students for future diplomatic ( 外交 ) service. After Liberation, the school moved from Hebei to Beijing, where it became the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute (now Beijing Foreign Studies University).
After receiving the Friendship Medal, she told the media that she observed with her own eyes the rapid development and changes in the 70 years since the founding of the PRC ． She experienced the great times of China. Meanwhile, she said proudly, “I have been lucky enough to devote myself to it and do some work.”

【分析】
文章大意：机器人不知疲倦的工作，会替人类干许多工作，有的专家认为机器人不能像人一样思考，有的则持相反的观点。
1. 句意：将来会有更少的人做这样的工作 / 事情，因为它们很无聊。此空指代前文提到的简单工作和机器人可以做的事情， job 表示 “ 工作 ” ， thing 表示 “ 事情 ” ，空格应填复数名词表泛指，故填 jobs/things 。
2. 句意：但是机器人从不会感到无聊。根据 “because they are boring” 及 but 可知，此处表转折，机器人不会感到无聊，可以在 will 后加 not ，也可以用副词 never 表示 “ 从不 ” ，故填 never/not 。
3. 句意：很难让它们像人类一样思考。根据 “although we can make robots move like people” 可知，尽管让它们像人类一样活动，但是很难像人们一样思考，用使役动词 make/have/let 表示 “ 使，让 ” ，动词不定式符号 to 后接动词原形，故填 make/have/let 。
4. 句意：科学家 James White 认为，机器人将永远不可能醒来后知道自己身在何处。根据 “up” 及 “know where they are” 可知，机器人做不到醒来后知道自己身在何处， wake up“ 醒来 ” ， be able to do sth“ 能够做某事 ” ，此空应填动词原形，故填 wake 。
5. 句意：但是许多科学家不同意 White 先生的观点。前文提到了 White 先生认为机器人不能醒来后知道自己身在何处，此处讲到其他的科学家认为机器人可以像人类一样聊天，所以是不同意 White 先生说的观点， disagree with sb“ 不同意某人 ” ，句子是一般现在时，主语是复数，动词用原形，故填 disagree 。
6. 句意：他们认为，在 25 到 50 年内，机器人甚至能够像人类一样说话。根据 “robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50” 可知，此处指在未来 25 到 50 年， year“ 年 ” ， 50 后接复数名词，故填 years 。

【分析】
本文通过一个故事告诉大家：遇到问题时，第一步是找一个自己信任的人谈谈。这个人不需要是专家。父母就有更多的经验，并且总是在他们身边支持他们。
1. 句意：她甚至每天步行三英里去上学，因为她没有钱。根据前文丢了钱包可知她每天走三公里，可推测出是上学，故填 school 。
2. 句意：她一直在想， “ 如果我告诉我父母，他们会生气的！ ” 根据 “keep+doing” 表示为 “ 一直做某事 ” ，可推测出是缺 doing ，结合所给单词，故填 thinking 。
3. 句意：最后，她和父母谈了谈，他们真的很理解。根据前文是过去式，且主语是 “they” ，可推测出是 were ，故填 were 。
4. 句意：他们给了她一个新钱包，并让她更小心。根据前文丢了一个钱包，可推测出是给了个新的，故填 wallet/purse/one 。
5. 句意：他觉得自己和劳拉一样。根据 “He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to” 及后文可知他认为第一步是找一个你信任的人谈谈，可推测出是相同的， “the same as” 表示为 “ 与 …… 相同 ” ，故填 same 。
6. 句意：学生们经常忘记他们的父母有更多的经验，并且总是在他们身边支持他们。根据 “their parents have more experience” 可知他们的父母有更多的经验，可推测出是帮助、支持，故填 help/support 。
