The Judge Monkey
A long long time ago, there were two cats who lived in the countryside. One day, they were playing along the
riverside. Suddenly they saw a loaf of bread lying under a tree. Both jumped upon it and caught the bread at the
same time. "It is mine. I saw it first," said one cat. While the other said, "I got it first, so it belongs to me" After
having quarreled for some time, one cat said, "Let's divide it into two and take one piece each. ""A good idea, " saidthe other cat. "But how do we divide it now?
A monkey sitting on the tree watched what happened between the two cats. "That loaf of bread looks good. I
could eat it myself" he thought. Slowly he came down from the tree and walked up to the two cats.
"My dear friends! Can I help you?" asked the monkey. The cats told the monkey what the problem was and
said, "Why don't you be the judge between us" When the monkey nodded, the cats said, "Please divide this loaf of
bread for us."
The clever monkey broke the bread into two pieces. But one piece was a little bigger than the other. "Oh no! I
will take a little bite of this bigger piece to make both equal" said the monkey. But he took a big bite. "Uh oh! Now
it has become smaller than the other piece. I will just have to take a little bite from that one, too," said the monkey.
The Judge Monkey took another bite. The two cats sat in front of the monkey, seeing the loaf of bread getting
smaller and smaller. When the whole loaf was eaten by the monkey, the monkey said, "I am sorry. It was really
difficult to divide the bread. I must be going now." And the monkey jumped onto the tree and was gone. "If only we
had not quarreled between ourselves, we would have remained united and we don't need to go to the monkey and
become hungry now," said the two cats.
21. What did the two cats find under a tree?
A. A mouse. B. A monkey. C. Another cat. D. A loaf of bread.
22. What problem did the two cats have when they asked the monkey for help?
A. They didn't like each other very much.
B. They couldn't decide how to divide the bread.
C. The loaf of bread was too big for them to hold.
D. The monkey was making too much noise on the tree.
23. How did the two cats probably feel in the end?
A. Happy. B. Excited. C. Bored. D. Regretful.
C
Feelings are difficult to deal with, especially for a 4-year-old who doesn't know why his mum won't let him eatanother cookie and an 8-year-old who is unhappy that his dad got called into work and has to leave the playground
early.
For parents, it's very important to begin teaching kids about their feelings as early as possible because their
feelings affect every choice they make. Kids who understand their feelings are less likely to act out by getting angry
or fighting with others. They can use clear sentences to express their feelings. A child who can say," I’m a little
angry with you about what you did," is less likely to get into fights.
A good way to help kids deal with feelings is to set an example for them. Parents should take opportunities to
share their feelings with kids in their daily life. A parent could say to the kid, "I feel sad that you don't want to share
your toys with your sister. Can we talk about this a little bit?" Kids can learn to deal with unpleasant feelings from
conversations like this.
Another great way to help kids learn about feelings is to discuss how different roles in TV series may feel.
When watching TV a parent could stop and ask the kid, "How do you think he feels right now?" Then, discuss the
feelings that person may be experiencing and the reasons.
Doing so also teaches empathy. Young children think the world centers around them, so it can be an eye-
opening experience for them to learn other people have feelings too. When young children can understand other
people's feelings, they are less likely to do bad tings to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend
to the ground may make his friend mad and sad, he will be less likely to do so.
Teaching a kid about feelings will help him become mentally（精神上）strong. Kids who have the skills to
deal with their feelings will be so confident that they can handle whatever life throws their way.
24. Kids who understand their feelings are more likely to ___________.
A. get angry at others B. fight with others
C. talk with clear sentences D. argue with their parents
25. The word "empathy" in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.
A. the ability to understand other people's feelings
B. the idea of the world centering around young kids
C. the willingness to share toys with one's best friend
D. the importance of fighting against difficulties in life
26. What is the writer's purpose of writing this article?
A. To explain why people have different feelings.
B. To advise parents to teach children about feelings.
C. To guide young kids to get along well with parents.
D. To help kids understand different roles in TV series.D
Are You Distracted （注意力分散的） by Technology?
According to Daily Mail, people spend 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices（电子设备）on average
every day. There is no doubt that people are getting more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only
question is: are you too distracted by it?
Well technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When a responsible person
uses cellphones, tablets（平板电脑）, laptops and other devices, technology has brought many positive effects to
the daily life.
For starters, technology has greatly increased the efficiency of our daily life. We use computers to shop, code,
buy tickets, and do many other things. We can check our emails from any place. It makes us keep in touch with
family and friends without any trouble.
Technology also serves as a useful tool to get information. It can help us find out almost every piece of
information we need. A survey by Pew Research Center showed that 62% of smartphone owners in the U. S. have
used their devices to find information about health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and
30% of them have taken a class on a smartphone during 2019.
However, there are people who hold different opinions. They think using technology can be addictive. Some
children keep playing computer games and don't know when to stop. Also, young people are turned into slaves of
consumerism（消费主义的奴隶） because they are flooded with topics about fitness, fashion models, make-up,
movie stars, etc. These topics can serve as a distraction from studying. But think about it, didn't children in the past
have their own distraction?
Before the age of technology, the street was a distraction. Parents were worried about how long children spent
playing outside. Young people always find their ways to get their minds off schoolwork. It's not the fault of modern
technology.
In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and laptops. We need
technology to connect to the rest of the world and get useful information. Whether we allow ourselves to be
controlled by technology or we stay strong to fight against the addiction to it — that's something we should all
decide for ourselves.
27. Why does the writer mention the average time people spend on electronic devices?A. To lead in the topic. B. To stress its importance.
C. To criticize the behavior. D. To explore its influence.
28. In paragraph 4, the writer uses a survey by Pew Research Center to show __________.
A. we can check our emails from any place in the world
B. technology serves as a useful tool to get information
C. people in the US are more likely to take online classes
D. smartphone owners spend too much time on their phones
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People are getting less dependent on technology as time goes by.
B. Technology has helped us keep in touch with others more easily.
C. Parents do not allow their children to play outside on the street.
D. Young people hate schoolwork because of modern technology.
30. The writer probably agrees that __________.
A. technology always brings positive effects to our daily life
B. children nowadays have the same distraction as they did in the past
C. it is actually very easy to live without smartphones, tablets and laptops
D. we should be responsible for our behaviors when using technology

Some Ideas to Start Your Day Off Right
Having success and being able to meet one's goals require knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work and
resources. That sounds like a very difficult task. However, research shows that successful people have similar
habits in their everyday life. For example, starting a day on the right foot is very important to them. Here are some
ideas on how to start your day off right.
1 Get up an hour early.
Getting up an hour early is a good way to start the day. Studies show that your attention span （注意力的持
续时间）is the strongest in the morning. In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day.
Benjamin Franklin would probably agree. He once said, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthyand wise. "
2 Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.
After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts say that this drink
jump-starts the body's metabolism（新陈代谢）. Not only does it jump-start your body's cells, it also keeps them
moving throughout the day.
3 Don't jump into social media as soon as you wake up.
You wake up in the morning. You decide to open up your Weibo account. Well, don't. It's a waste of time and
may bring unhealthy emotions. We've all done it. You see a Weibo post about some society problems and the heated
discussion pulls you in. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you're angry with people you don't even know.
4 Exercise!
Physical fitness trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a
busy time for most people. By the end of the day, you may not have the time or energy to exercise. Exercising in
the morning prevents that from happening.
,
Isabel Smith one of the experts on the research team, said, "In order to feel better during the day, I tried
the healthy morning routines for a month. The result was amazing. "She also added that she would keeping doing
so in the future.
