When I was a kid, my dad was in the Air Force and we moved every few years. It was scaring because that
meant getting used to a wholly new community and a wholly new school. It was always a struggle to find where I
fit in. Already shy, I didn’t have much self - confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the
halls with her head down. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a
lot. I was nearly hit.
But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team
meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get
rid of my nervousness.
There are always things that make you nervous and uncertain. That’s life. Even in my lucky life, I still have
those feelings — at the beginning of the new sports season, or making important decisions. I keep a small group
of really good friends. Most have been my teammates for years. We have shared a lot together. They have seen the
good, the bad and the ugly sides of me, and they still accept me. They have taught me that it’s how you treat others
that makes you valuable in life.
Throughout our lives, our self - esteem goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel
successful. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves.
Physical activity and sport participation is a wonderful way to build up our sense of self-confidence. We get to set
goals for ourselves, we feel good about our accomplishments, and we learn that after today’s failure there’s
tomorrow’s chance.
24. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling every time she moved?
A. Content
B. Angry.
C. Anxious.
D. Grateful.
25. What can be implied from Paragraph 2?
A. The author was good at playing soccer.
B. People are fond of playing sports
C. The author was far better at soccer than others.
D. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
26. The underlined word “self-esteem” in the last paragraph probably means _________.
A. self-awareness
B. self-confidence
C. self-defense
D. self-education
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. On self-esteem and sport.
B. On ways to make friends.
C. On valuable lessons in life.
D. On success and failure.
C
World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep deprivation (缺乏) among teenagers has
come into focus.
Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework, extracurricular
activities and the temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices. A report issued (发布) by the Chinese Sleep Research
Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after
midnight, reported Shanghai Observer. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep,
according to USAFacts.
Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. They need nine to ten hours
of sleep each day to function (运转) at their best, said the US National Institutes of Health. This is more than what
they need both as children and later as adults because of the deep mental, physical, social and emotional
development that takes place during adolescence, said the website Sleep Foundation.
For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills.
It helps sharpen the mind and facilitates learning. Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports teenagers’
creative abilities. This link (联系) was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough
University in the UK compared creative performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally.
The first group scored (得分) lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They often repeated the same
mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas.
More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (开端)”, which provides a special time for creativity. This phase (阶
段) happens when we are between being awake and asleep. The MIT team found that when people are prompted
(促使) to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking
up, reported MIT News.
28. All of the following are factors resulting in teenagers’ sleep deprivation EXCEPT _________.
A. heavy homework load
B. late-night use of smartphones
C. early school start time
D. participation in after-school sports
29. How did sleep-deprived individuals perform based on the Loughborough University study?
A. Higher scores but less creative.
B. Poorer performance with repeated errors.
C. Average results yet innovative.
D. Unchanged creativity and declined memory.
30. What did the MIT team discover about the “sleep onset” stage?
A. It only occurs in teenagers.
B. It provides a chance for creativity.
C. It is the deepest stage of sleep.
D. It helps people remember dreams better.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of quality sleep for teenagers.
B. The importance of sleep for academic performance.
C. The link between quality sleep and creativity.
D. The sleep patterns and stages of global teenagers.

At a bus stop or while waiting in line, most people look down and scroll on their phones. But studies suggest
that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may get some real benefits.
We spend nearly half of our waking hours daydreaming, but it is not always pleasant. One study found that
people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their own thoughts. This helps explain why we
automatically reach for our phones during free moments.
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — it feels good for
a moment but has no real meaning. She adds that human achievements mostly come from higher-order thinking.
So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear
boredom, but this fear is often too strong. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone
doing nothing. Yet after the time was up, they reported more enjoyment than they had expected. Researcher Kou
Murayama says the ability to let your mind wander — to think about past experiences and consider other people’s
views — is a special human ability. It improves learning and helps us understand others.
Mind - wandering is also important for solving problems. People often find better solutions after unfocused
thinking than by only trying hard. This is especially true during routine activities like driving or showering. Even
when we are not actively thinking, our brain stays active in a “default mode”. This allows ideas to connect in new
ways, which is very helpful for complex problems.
Besides cognitive benefits, daydreaming also strengthens social and emotional connections. One study found
that imagining happy interactions with loved ones made people feel closer to them. Social daydreaming lets us
practice conversations, think about past talks, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says,
our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us handle the social world better.
Murayama says he now tries not to check his phone during short waits. Instead, he lets his thoughts wander.
He finds that simply entertaining yourself in your own mind can be both satisfying and meaningful.
32. Why does Erin Westgate call mindless scrolling “brain candy”?
A. It is bad for your health.
B. It helps people avoid boredom.
C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life.
D. It gives quick but shallow pleasure.
33. What did the 2022 study show?
A. Phone addiction could be avoided.
B. Daydreaming was not valued enough.
C. Being alone helped learning.
D. Self-reflection made us human.
34. What does the “default mode” of the brain suggest?
A. Unfocused thinking can increase creativity.
B. Trying hard always brings new ideas.
C. Hard tasks need an active mind.
D. Routine tasks require little brain activity.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Stay Focused in the Digital Age
B. Discover the Joy of Truly Being Alone
C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind
D. Explore the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming
