Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789, in Ireland. She had big dreams. “I want to be a doctor!” But two hundred years ago a girl couldn’t become a doctor. Her uncle, James Barry, was a great painter. And his friend General Miranda had a library with more than 6,000 books. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him. Years later, her uncle James Barry died, leaving her some money. It was enough to study to be a doctor.

“But a girl can’t become a doctor,” said Margaret sadly.

“Yes, you can!” said General Miranda. “All you have to do is to disguise as a boy.” Margaret really wanted to be a doctor. So she cut off her long hair, practiced speaking in a deep voice, and put on boy’s clothes. She also named herself James Barry.

From then on, Margaret Ann Bulkley disappeared. She became James Barry and entered Edinburgh University. He took 13 subjects and worked all through the summer when the other students went on holiday.

Barry graduated in 1812 and decided to join the British Army. In his life, Dr. James Barry travelled all over the world, helping to save many lives. Before retirement, Barry had risen to the second-highest medical officer in the British Army. Barry improved the conditions for not only wounded soldiers but also the local people, and performed the first recorded successful caesarean section （剖宫产） in Africa. The secret Dr. James Barry kept for over fifty years was only known after his death in 1865.

14 ． Who played the most important role in Margaret’s becoming a doctor?

A ． General Miranda. B ． Her uncle James Barry.

C ． A soldier in the British Army. D ． A professor from Edinburgh University.

15 ． What does the underlined word disguise in paragraph 3 mean?

B ． Graduating from the most famous medical university.

C ． Improving medical conditions for the wounded soldiers.

What do three hearts, eight arms and one huge brain add up to? An octopus, a creature that can do amazing things. Octopuses are very clever. As they don’t have teeth or sharp claws to defend themselves, they have ever learnt a few tricks to get out of dangerous situations. Do you know how they do that?

They often hide themselves in the sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. Some octopuses like to stay in more shallow water where there are rocks. Because octopuses have very soft bodies, they can hide themselves into small spaces between the rocks to get rid of enemies.

The octopus is like a chameleon because it can change the color of its skin to match the sand. This color change happens in less than a minute.

Another way an octopus can protect itself is by shooting ink. It can shoot ink into the water. The ink forms a cloud to blind its enemies. It's like a magician doing a disappearing act.

If an octopus is being attacked, it can make itself look like a sea snake. It will bury itself in the sand except two arms. It will change the color of those arms to match a sea snake.

But what if there’s no time to escape? It can break off one of its arms. The arm will then change colors and move around the water. As the enemy starts chasing after the arm, the octopus can swim away quickly. Don’t worry, though. The octopus’ arm will grow back soon.

18 ． How many tricks are mentioned in the text?

A ． 3. B ． 4. C ． 5. D ． 6.

19 ． Why is an octopus like a chameleon?

A ． It has three hearts. B ． It has eight arms.

C ． It can make itself look like a snake. D ． It can change the color of its skin.

20 ． What does an octopus do in time of great danger?

A ． Run after its enemy. B ． Break off one arm.

C ． Fight with sharp teeth. D ． Move around the water.

21 ． What is the best title for this text?

A ． Adventures in water B ． Magician of the sea

C ． Soft bodies between rocks D ． Enemy behind the cloud

Are you suffering from insomnia （失眠） now? It’s true that many people are deeply bothered by insomnia. ___27___ Sleep expert Michael Grandner offers top three tips.

Make a plan and stick to it.

Melatonin （褪黑素） is produced by the body to control when you get sleepy and when you wake up. As night falls, the levels of melatonin rise, becoming a signal to the body that it’s time for bed. And the levels naturally fall as daylight comes near, getting you ready to greet the day.

___28___ So if your bedtime and wake-up time change from day to day, your body doesn’t know how to react. So it’s important to have a regular bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends.

___29___

In fact, this tip is so powerful that it can even beat sleep medicine. “Whenever you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, either the beginning or the middle of the night, get up. Maybe you just need five minutes to get sleepy, or maybe an hour, but don’t spend that time in bed,” says Grandner.

Change your attitude about sleep.

Many people see sleeping as the final thing they have to do in a busy day, worth delaying to catch up on housework, schoolwork or others. ___30___ “See your sleep as the amount of time you need in order to set yourself up for a productive tomorrow. It may sound like a small change, but it’s an important one,” Grandner adds.

根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

A ． Don’t lie in bed awake.

B ． Take some medicine if you need.

C ． That thought needs to be changed.

D ． In fact, we can train our brain to fall asleep.

E ． The release （释放） of melatonin needs to be at regular times.

For fans of traditional culture, the film I Am What I Am （雄狮少年） , which was first shown in the cinema on December 17, 2021, can be a good choice. The 104-minute film has connected the lion dance culture with a teenager’s pursuit （追求） of his dream.

Set in Guangdong Province, the film is about the growth of a left-behind teenager named A Juan. He met a girl who had the exact same name. Encouraged by her, A Juan made up his mind to form a lion dance team with his two close friends A Mao and A Gou. After being trained by a master, the three took part in a lion dance competition in Guangzhou. Although later A Juan had to work to support his family, he still bravely followed his dream—becoming the best lion dancer.

“It opens a new world for China’s animated （动画） film,” said an animator. Unlike most Chinese animated films today, which have to do with myths （神话） or fairy tales, I Am What I Am sets eyes on reality. This is not very common in the animation field in China. “I’ve always wanted to make an animated film about our real life. And I remembered the lion dance performances at festivals. They were so beautiful, colourful and folk. That inspired me to make a film about lion dance,” said the director.

The film has got high marks on different websites. Although it’s not perfect, many people are deeply moved. It shows not only the beauty of Chinese culture but also the spirit of the nation, according to CCTV news.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

You often hear “New year, new me” in the UK on the first of January. It is very common to start a new year’s resolution on this day. This can be to give up something, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new. There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat a lot.

I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people motivation ( 动机 ) to do something good for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you could go jogging ( 慢跑 ) with a group of friends several times a week. That can be so much more fun and help you to keep the resolution.

Also, I think it is important for you to choose something realistic as a new year’s resolution. In the past, I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat and started doing kung fu. Soon after that, I gave up some of these things, such as not eating chocolate. They were too difficult to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.

This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. Living in the UK, it was very difficult to travel without a car and not by plane, but now that I live in Germany I find it much easier to travel by another mode ( 模式 ) of transport. There are more environmentally friendly ways that I can choose like travelling by train or bus, though it’s more expensive, I know that I will do harm to the environment much less.
