Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were
used to their farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except
for one girl named Jo. Very few could read or write, and Jo was one of them.
One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her explorations in the forest, she came upon an
abandoned (废弃的) cottage . Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her
curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement
was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure.
She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead,
she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give
up on her books.
She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an
adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for
good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share
the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her task, Jo
started telling stories every day at her cottage.
In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and
more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She alsoconducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and
lived in her stories even after she was long gone.

Forget about “Military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places
as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxing and comfortable choice, such as
“Citywalk” , is becoming popular among urban youngsters.
Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling
the atmosphere(氛围) and finding unusual things that even the local people might not have
noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or
simply explore the streets.
Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to
places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but real
restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s history and culture.
Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms,
generating thousands of followers. Their posts usually include the time of the walk, and
interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.
Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a
city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different
products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After
several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88
yuan per person. A tour guide told the history of the buildings and streets along the way.
“If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour thatday helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with (融入)
the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that
she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online
platform for self-guided tours, thought Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture
and live as local people do, feeling the atmosphere of a city. “People who participate in
Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other,”
he said.
23. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?
A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The equipment.
24. Why does Nan Xi think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk?
A. Because it is a perfect place to run shops.
B. Because it provides great experiences in many ways.
C. Because there are great things to do at weekends.
D. Because ideal couples and friends often gather there.
25. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk?
A. She thought it well worth a try.
B. She went on the tour without company.
C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.
D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.
26. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Citywalk is a new choice in urban tourism.
B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.
C. Citywalk is good for our mental and physical health.
D. Military-style travel has been replaced completely by Citywalk.
D
We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our head while we’re awake, but it turns out that
this can happen during sleep as well. A new study shows that earworms getting into our brains at
night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) Michael Scullin from Baylor University and his co-workers
used surveys of 199 people, as well as sleep lab tests involving 50 volunteers, to measure the influence
of listening to music before bedtime on sleep.
In the survey part of the study, those who often listened to music during the day were more likely
to report lasting nighttime earworms, which then had a bad effect on sleep quality through the night.
For the lab tests, individuals were played instrumental or standard versions (标准版本) of Shake ItOff by Taylor Swift, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, and Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey.
Tests were used to measure their sleep quality.
Earworms were reported throughout the night by the people surveyed, with those taking longer
to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep and waking up more times during the
night. Surprisingly, the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms and
more sleep problems than the standard ones.
Past studies have connected late-night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia
(失眠症) perhaps because it can relax the body. The researchers behind the new study suggest that
actually it might be worse for our sleep — even after the songs stop, our brains continue to process
them for several hours.
Scullin suggests avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of catching
earworms. Doing some other cognitive (认知的) activities before sleeping, like making a list of jobs
for the next day, might also help clear the mind, Scullin says.
27. Which of the following might be an earworm?
A. A song that comes to your mind again and again.
B. A signal given by the brain when you’re awake.
C. A worm that comes into your ears during sleep.
D. A body reaction when hearing unfamiliar songs.
28．How is the survey done?
A. By surveying people’s familiarity with the songs played.
B. By measuring people’s satisfaction with their sleep quality.
C. By doing tests to show people’s preferences to different music versions.
D. By figuring out the relation between sleep and late-night music listening.
29．What’s the finding of Scullin’s study?
A．Music versions make no difference to sleep quality.
B．Playing instrumental music resulted in more earworms.
C．Late-night music listening helps people get over insomnia.
D．Doing cognitive activities in the daytime brings good sleep.
30．What does Scullin think of late-night music listening?
A．Unconcerned. B．Creative. C．Terrible. D．Relaxing.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of
her organs, bones and muscles were unhealthy. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but
with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily’s hometown, there was a yearly performance in the auditorium (礼堂). It had been
performed for so many years and had become one of the most important events in the town. Many
people tried out each year for it, but only the most outstanding were chosen.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice and often dreamed of singing on that stage. However, she
was too shy to audition (试唱) for the performance due to her strange body. Still, deep inside, Emily
wanted to perform. She practiced secretly, singing in her room, hoping that someday she would have
the chance to show her talent.
This year, Mrs. Owens, Emily’s new music teacher, heard about Emily and suggested that she
have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be laughed at, so she was unsure about it. As Emily struggled, the door was
pushed open and Mrs. Owens called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as
Mrs. Owens told her to do. Mrs. Owens sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished
her testing performance, she thanked Mrs. Owens and knew the result would be posted on the door
of the choral room（合唱室） the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the
great need to be accepted.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
