From a young age I would climb up and down for fun. My first introduction to gymnastics was through
my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast. She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end
of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid ingymnastics.”
At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path. I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic
stage was different. The Olympics teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined(守纪律的). They teach you
to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.
When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I
had to quit a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a
different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep with. It takes a
lot to be an Olympic athlete. You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will overtake you.
Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me. When someone tells you that you can’ do it, especially
when there are many people, you start to believe it. It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear
held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to
the world championships and got a team gold.
I won three gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and helped
Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships. My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It’s
one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from
my story.
4. Why did the author’ sister suggest putting her in gymnastics?

C. She thought talent was necessary.
D. She dreamed of being famous one day.
6. What did the author learn from others’ doubt?

Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known
there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good
for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being.
A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too. There is plenty of evidence that spending time
in natural areas is good for our health — but typically this research is done from a visual perspective, but we are
curious what the role is of sounds we hear in these spaces.
Some examples they found reported in those studies included decreased pain, lowered stress, improved mood,
and better cognitive (认知的) function. With these results in hand, they then listened to audio recordings from 251
sites in 68 national parks across the United States.
The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and
the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas. Only three locations with high natural sounds and low noise
pollution were within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of urban areas.
However, despite human-made noises being heard most of the time at sites in urban locations, birds were still
heard about 60% of the time and geophysical sounds like wind and rain heard about 19% of the time.
Not all natural sounds deliver the same benefits, the researchers found. For example, they discovered that the
sounds of water had the largest impact on improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds ease
stress and annoyance. And the sounds of both birds and water were heard more than 23% of the time in the national
park recording sites.
Interestingly, there was also some evidence that natural sounds have benefits over silence. There was also
evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird
— have benefits over fewer sounds.
8. What does the new study focus on?
A. The effect natural sounds have on health.
B. The harm man-made sounds do to health.
C. The benefits natural sounds bring to the environment.
D. The effect nature has on people from visual perspective.
9. What is an ideal site according to paragraph 4?A. It is away from cities.
B. It has no noise pollution.
C. It has bird songs most of the time.
D. It is within 62 miles of urban areas.
10. What brings more benefits to people?
A. The silence of nature.
B. The sounds of water.
C. The diversity of natural sounds.
D. Natural sounds mixed with noises.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. It Is Beneficial to Live Close to Water
B. We Are Surrounded by All Kinds of Sounds
C. The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being
D. Man-made Noise Pollution Is Harmful to Our Health

Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between
teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs,
different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult.
However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the
stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the
future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things, do chores, homework, whether
teenagers speak respectfully or not and about what they're allowed to do.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good
relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive
relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some
degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are
a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want
parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems
come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow
them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floorsmopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to
be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
12. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers?
A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first.
C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them.
13. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow?
A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit.
C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five.
14. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems
C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict
