Changing Makes You More Confident
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And unless
otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always ___13___ to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball
team. At first I thought it was a ___14___ idea because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the
___15___ to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept
insisting on my "going for it", I wouldn't have decided to give it a try.
When I first started ___16___ the practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much less what I
was doing. Sometimes I'd get confused and take a shot at the wrong ___17___ —which made me feel really stupid.
Fortunately, I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at
each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't know "just yet".
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the ___18___ and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
motivating (激励, 动力). With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process — friends who respected
my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my improved self-confidence comes more ___19___ from teachers and classmates. I have gone from "
___20___ " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand— even
when I sometimes wasn't 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
13. A. hoped B. chose C. meant D. agreed
14. A. good B. crazy C. common D. bright
15. A. patience B. right C. chance D. ability

Best Ways to Improve Online Experience
Zhao Yuchen, Beijing
To me, the biggest headache about studying online is my poor internet connection. During one
online class, I couldn't hear my English teacher's voice and I had to reconnect. It wasted lots of
time. Since then, I have checked my network before class every day and asked other family
members not to use the internet while I'm in class.
Qiu Ziyin, Shenzhen
During the first day of studying online, I was excited and listened carefully. But I soon
realized that my self-discipline (自律) was weak. I've set screen time for all of my electronic
devices. At night, I do preview (预习) work for the next day instead of playing with my mobile
phone.
Zhang Penghui, Heilongjiang
Online learning takes strong self-discipline and willpower. There are lots of distractions (分
心) while studying at home. My mom likes to offer me snacks and drinks, which sometimes
distracts me from listening during my classes. A quiet room and clean desk can help us stay
focused.
Zhao Jiawen, Shanghai
It's important to know how to choose wisely when we pick online courses. For example, I had
difficulty understanding certain English grammar points, so I searched for key words on our
national cloud learning platform and watched several videos from teachers across China. It's good
for us to get different teachers.
21. Who does preview work for the next day at night?
A. Qiu Ziyin. B. Zhao Yuchen. C. Zhao Jiawen. D. Zhang Penghui.

Jane Addams was born into a rich American family with a long history of public service on September 6,

from her father, Jane wanted to know what she could do to help others. Jane remembered the Chicago poor areas
she had seen as a child, and she thought she might want to open a place and it would provide education and
recreation (娱乐) to the poor people there.
In 1889, Jane and her friend Ellen Gates made Jane's dream come true. They opened Hull House in Chicago.
Among its many activities, Hull House provided a place for poor immigrant (移民) families to play games, listen to
poem readings or take music or painting classes.
Jane Addams' public service didn't stop with Hull House. Jane worked for laws to end child labor (劳动力)
and fought for women's rights. She worked as president of the Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom and was chairman of the Women's Peace Party. Jane Addams won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. She
died on May 21, 1935. All these years later, people still celebrate the service and life of Jane Addams.

Mission to Mars
On July 4, 1997, space exploration took a huge step. On that day, a spacecraft called Pathfinder landed on
Mars. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent Pathfinder to discover new information
about the Red Planet.
The mission was a complete success. After landing, Pathfinder sent a small rover (漫游机器人), Sojourner,onto the planet's surface. Sojourner explored more than 250 square meters of Mars. Together, designed Sojourner to
last for only seven days, but little vehicle ran twelve times longer! Pathfinder surprised scientists, too. It sent back
information for almost three months. That was three times longer than it was built to last.
Because Pathfinder and Sojourner ran for so long, scientists got more information than they ever dreamed of
getting. For one thing, they discovered that Mars is very sandy. Pictures of sand dunes around the land site hint that
Mars once had water. Scientists know that water means life. Was there ever life on Mars? We don't know yet. In
addition, the Pathfinder mission told scientists that Mars is dusty. Huge "dust devils" on Mars spit enormous
amounts of dust into the Martian air. Pathfinder also discovered frosty Martian temperatures at 200 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit. At that temperature, a glass of water would freeze solid in just a few seconds.
In October, scientists lost Pathfinder's signal because the spacecraft's battery had run down. They tried to
revive the signal but had no luck. The mission officially ended on November 4.
Scientists hope to use the knowledge from these missions to better understand how life on earth began. They
will also use it to plan future Mars missions.
27. What did NASA do to get information about Mars?
A. NASA sent the spacecraft Sojourner to Mars.
B. NASA sent engineers on a three-month space mission.
C. NASA sent the spacecraft Pathfinder to Mars.
D. NASA sent astronauts to run tests for seven days.
28. What was the main reason NASA considered the Pathfinder mission a success?
A. Scientists found out that Mars is very cold and dusty.
B. Scientists got more information than they ever dreamed of getting.
C. Scientists learned that Mars definitely had water at one time.
D. Scientists found out that there was once life on Mars.
29. You can learn from this passage that ________
A. dust devils on Mars made the photographs hard to see.
B. Martian temperatures caused Pathfinder's battery to fail.
C. scientists suspect that life on Earth began on Mars.
D. scientists will look for signs that life existed on Mars.

Being busy can become a way of life. Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages. They make us feelwanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way. Being busy has a dangerous allure（诱惑）. If you are busy
all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling. Why not let everything
become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?
Many of us are busy because our self-worth goes up when people make demands（需求）on our time. Why don’t
we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be
productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously（主动地）keeping ourselves not busy. In fact
many great discoveries were made by people who built white space into their day.
Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I’ve never
heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are.
What are they doing differently?
First, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control.
They’ve had excellent staff, implemented（实施）thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks
that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.
It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply
working more hours. To do this, you need to change your way of thinking. It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s
better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book．
How to free us from the trend of being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity.
Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively（预先）if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of
or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are. Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your
day and begin doing it. Put your time and energy where you want it to be．
30. What are many of us busy doing every day?
A. Sitting quietly and think actively．
B. Meeting people’s demands on our time．
C. Making great discoveries．
D. Takinghigh-level decisions．
31. Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?
A. Because they value working abilities and attitude．
B. Because they focus on attracting excellent workers．
C. Because they pay more attention to learning management．
D. Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks．
32. The writer probably agrees that we should ______．
A. stop considering each thing a choiceB. work more hours to achieve our goals
C. answer emails and messages as soon as possible
D. be mindful where we want our time and energy to be
33. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise us to be freed from the trend of being busy．
B. To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life．
C. To show us ways to feel good about being busy．
D. To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life．
六、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
Max's Good Habit
Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves reading during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him
because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say
reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit to
read on a regular basis.
One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanoes (火山). He told his friends all about volcanoes
and what causes them to erupt (爆发). The very next week, his class was told to do a science project. It was to
create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model. Guess who everyone wanted
in their project group? Max's friends weren't laughing at him any more. Max ended up being in a group with Liz,
Anna and Josh.
Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too.
They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes.
The group met at Anna's house that night to organize (组织) the information. They all asked Max what he
thought was the most important. Then they discussed and decided on the information they wanted to put on the
poster board.
The next night they met at Josh's house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay (黏土).
First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown clay. They also fixed
red clay to the top of the volcano to make it look like it was erupting.
The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work. When they turned in
their project, their teacher was proud, too. Thanks to Max's good habit, they got an A+ on both parts of the project.
