My Understanding of Money

学科网（北京）股份有限公司When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument
was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our
teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him
on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly
see that it was black. The teacher asked us what colour the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white”. I
couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!”. Another argument started between Tony and
me, this time about the colour of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was
standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what colour the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was
an object with two differently coloured sides-from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys,
now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us.
Tony has been my best friend ever since.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their
shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of
thinking.
24. What did the teacher do at first?
A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents.
C. She walked out of the classroom. D. She brought the boys to her desk.
25. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2?
A. Pleased. B. Surprised. C. Afraid. D. Thankful.
26. From this lesson, the writer has learned that ________ .
A. great minds think the same B. burn the candle at both ends
C. stand in other people’s shoes D. many hands make light work
C
When you’re having a hard time with something, it’s natural to turn to others for help. Getting help sounds
simple, but it’s not always easy to do. Sometimes certain beliefs or ways of thinking can make it hard to ask for
help. Here are some kinds of attitudes that can stand in the way and ideas on how to get past them.
第4页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness. Actually, it’s a sign of strength, not weakness.
You know what you need and you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out for it. Once a boy told me he wanted to ask his
coach how to improve his basketball skills, but he was afraid that his coach might think he shouldn’t be on the
team. In fact, when he asked his coach for help, his coach thought he was practicing hard.
Some other people think they don’t deserve(应该得到) help or support. Everyone needs help now and then.
Accepting help can strengthen friendships and relationships. Everyone feels good when they can support a friend.
For example, if you want to find out how Katy solves problems with her parents, you should ask Katy if she has
time to talk and tell her how important her viewpoint is, instead of worrying that Katy is too busy to help you.
When you ask for help, choose someone who listens and cares, not someone who judges or criticizes you. If you
get refused, it's not because of you, but the other person. So tell yourself: If Katy says no, she might not be ready to
talk about her own experiences.
Another wrong attitude is waiting for someone else to make the first move. It’s not always easy for other
people to see when you need help. Maybe you’re putting on a cheerful face to hide the problem. Don’t wait for
someone to read your mind. You have to ask.
Because it can be hard to reach out for help, don't hesitate(犹豫) to offer support to another person if you think
he or she needs it. Giving and receiving help are great life skills to learn. They help us improve our abilities to
understand other people.
27. In Paragraph 2, the boy was afraid to ask his coach for help because ________.
A. his coach criticized him before
B. his coach was too busy to help him
C. he wasn’t practicing as hard as other players
D. he thought it would show he was a weak player
28. What should you do if you need help?
A. Be supportive to other people first.
B. Be active to find a caring person to talk to.
C. Try to make your friends notice what you need.
D. Put on a happy face to avoid worrying other people.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
.
A Asking for Help: Everyone’s Natural Ability
B. Asking for Help: Getting Past Improper Attitudes
C. Giving and Receiving Help: Great Skills to Learn
.
D Giving and Receiving Help: Strengthening Relationships

According to a recent report, about 18% of China’s Internet users are under 19 years old. And nearly 1/4 of
them are students. While benefiting a lot from the Internet, such as education and communication, teenagers often
face dangers and risks. To better protect them, the Chinese government last year launched(启动) a special system
which has come to be known as the “Teenager Mode(模式).” Many live online video platforms(平台) are now
using it, but how effective is it?
“Teenager Mode” seems to be a firewall to protect teenage Internet users from overuse. Platforms have their
own ways to do that, such as time limits and passwords. They can also prohibit rewarding, recharging(续费) and
so on.
Although there are some advantages, “Teenager Mode” still has its problems. For example, many parents
complain that their children can still see something unsuitable on some platforms although they use “Teenager
Mode”. And if teenagers get hold of the full password, they can enter and exit whenever they like.
Experts say the system is still very new and it takes time and energy to improve it. “‘Teenager Mode’ doesn’t
have the same standard yet. For platforms, they should make every effort to truly meet the requirements of the
regulatory authorities (管理当局的要求),” said Wang Sixin, the president of Beijing Net Law Society.
Others say “Teenager Mode” doesn’t really limit the time teenagers spend online. They can simply go from
one app or platform to another till they use up the time limit on each. To improve it, first of all, the time spent on
each app or platform needs to be shared. Second, in order to help parents control their children’s time spent online,
the app or platform can trigger(触发) an alarm to warn the parents.
In all, the system is an important first step to protect young people from the dangers and risks of the Internet,
but more needs to be done.
30. According to the passage, “Teenager Mode” is launched to ________.
A. keep teenagers far away from their computers
B. show teenagers the benefits of the Internet
C. stop teenagers from overusing the Internet
D. protect teenagers from the dangers in their schools
31. The word “prohibit” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. provide B. allow C. change D. stop
第6页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司32. What can you learn from the passage?
A. The “Teenager Mode” can only set passwords.
B. The “Teenager Mode” still has some problems.
C. Experts say the system will be improved soon.
D. Teenagers’ online time can be reduced successfully.
33. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To tell teenagers not to use the Internet.
B. To point out the disadvantages of the Internet.
C. To discuss the effects of the “Teenager Mode”.
D. To encourage parents to use the “Teenager Mode”.

Fighting Wildfires through Invention
At the age of 13, Prisha Shroff saw something that made her want to change the world. She was in the car with
her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back.
“I saw it in person,” she says. “The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or
outside of our house. ”
,
At the same time Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, “This isn’t just a small
problem, it’s a worldwide problem.” And she decided to look for a way to help.
The opportunity came when she attended her middle-school science fair. For her project, Prisha decided to
design a system that could discover and put out wildfires. Using A. L and satellite imagery （卫星影像）, it could
know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires.
In 2021, Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention, whose goal is to encourage young future scientists,
engineers, and inventors to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. “That was the first big prize that I’d gotten,”
she says. “It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems, and that I have the ability to make a big
difference. ”

Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate （缓解）wildfires, but also the effects of climate
change in general. “This is our planet, we should take care of it, ” she says. Prisha now runs a special program at her
school, and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with
more inventions to help fight against climate change.
To future young inventors, Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens, but to actually try hard
to make it happen, “You don’t need to change the whole world, but you can still change someone’s whole world, ”
she says.
