Since I was a child, my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person. I have a hard time learning when to keep my mouth closed.
My mom has told me again and again, "Robert, your constant 1 words are hurting me. If you continued to be this rude, you will get into big trouble."
It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear. I used to feel it was my duty to 2 myself.
One day in English class I was working on my homework until I heard a classmate3 behind me. It was Nathaniel, who liked doing that as usual.
At first, I said very politely, "Nathaniel, would you please be quiet?"
However, Nathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly4 "Nathaniel, shut up!"
For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other.
I knew these words would make him 5. It would hurt his feelings and shut him up.
What I said filled him with anger. He tried to reach over my seat and catch me as he shouted, "That's it! That's it!"
6 at what he was doing, I sat back in my seat. I had never seen Nathaniel act like this before.
Later on, we were taken to the headmaster's office. There, Mr. Black, our English teacher, told us to 7the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found that when I hurt someone physically(身体上), the wounds eventually heal(愈合). But when I hurt them with my 8 sometimes the pain never goes away.

In the Warring States Period, the State of Qin had a fight with the State of Zhao, Zhao needed some talented people to ask for help from Chu. Then Mao Sui—the man who believed he was the right person for this task came and recommended (推荐) himself. And he made the king of Chu send the army to help successfully. Zhao was safe. From then on, Mao Sui became a well-known hero of the state.
One day, Shang Yang put a thin wooden stick near the south gate of the capital of Qin. He promised to pay 10 gold pieces to anyone who could move it to the north gate. It was such a simple job that all the people thought Shang was joking. Then he added 40moregold pieces. A man moved it and he really got 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all followed Shang's new laws later.
Yu Boya was good at playing the qin (琴). One day , when he was playing the music that described green mountains and clear water, a man called Zhong Ziqi said, “I seem to see high mountains and running water while I was listening to your music.” Boya knew he found a good friend who really understood him. Unluckily, Boya couldn't meet Ziqi anymore after that because he had died of an illness. He was so sad that he broke the qin and never played it again.
(1)、Shang Yang's story tells us a man of his word can ____________.A、protect his state B、have new friends C、get people's trust D、make more money(2)、We usually use “_________” to express a valuable friendship.A、Mao Sui recommended himself B、High mountains and running water C、Build trust by using a wooden pole D、Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly(3)、People should learn from __________ to catch each chance in front of trouble.A、Ma Sui B、Shang Yang C、Zhong Ziqi D、Yu Boya4. 阅读理解It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin's own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that's why the film had some truth,” he said.
(1)、The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.A、why The Kid was made B、when The Kid was on C、how The Kid got successful D、what The Kid is about(2)、We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________.A、always visited the theatre alone B、was possibly talented in acting C、knew much about Chaplin before D、played every role in Chaplin's films(3)、Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?A、He had a poor childhood experience. B、He was brought up by his father. C、 He looked after his mother very well D、He produced films with his brother.(4)、What's the best title for the passage?A、A film about a dancer B、A family in London C、A place or film-making D、A life on film5. 阅读理解Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力)is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.
Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖)on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one(and then they could eat both).
So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower—they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow. But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.
Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
So, if you do daily "self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.
Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.
That way, you'll build up your willpower again.
And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!
(1)、How many children got two marshmallows in the Marshmallow Test in 1972?A、180. B、240. C、420. D、600.(2)、In Paragraphs 2&3, the famous experiment explains __________.A、more kids have stronger willpower B、willpower influences people's lives greatly C、how people practice children's willpower D、marshmallows can help improve willpower(3)、The writer probably agrees that ________.A、all the language learners have stronger willpower B、will power can't be improved by doing some daily things C、young kids don't need to practice willpower like grown-ups D、people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily(4)、According to the passage, people who ________ might have strong willpower.A、do regular piano practice every day B、give up morning running halfway C、eat as much junk food as they like D、usually get up late on the cold morning6. 阅读理解Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total-But did you know that there are many cool technologies — even space technologies — behind their success?
Quan Hongchan, a 14-year-old diving darling who won the gold, said an Al training system helped her train. Developed by Baidu, the system analyzes (分析)a diver's body posture from the diving board until he or she enters the water. A dive can last less than two seconds. But the Al can catch many important details , such as the diver's starting height, entry speed and angle. These data are sent to coaches right away.
Before setting out for Tokyo, some Chinese athletes visited the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (中国航天空气动力技术研究院),The technologies there are normally used to develop rockets and missiles. But they can also help rowers, swimmers and cyclists.
"For example, rowers in the women's quadruple sculls (四人双桨赛艇)came to my lab and used a wind tunnel to do experiments." said Jia Yi from the academy. The tunnel can make winds with different speeds. "They measured the air drag(空气阻力)on their bodies. The data helped them change their movement and redesign their sport suits."
But there's even more. The national table tennis team has a popular "coach" called Pongbot. It's a robot that can make difficult shots and never gets tired. Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter to reach the Olympic 100-meter final, uses high-speed cameras to record his training. "The use of technology will help improve the nation's overall competitiveness in sports," said Huang Haiyan, a professor at the Shanghai University of Sport.
(1)、Paragraph 2 is written to show_________.A、how Al helps divers train B、how Quan Hongchan trains every day C、Quan's personal story D、a new program by Baidu(2)、From the experiments done in the academic rowers learned how to________.A、control air drag B、produce wind C、become cool D、cross tunnels(3)、How does technology influence the sports field?A、Sports training will become harder. B、Athletes won't make mistakes. C、Coaches are no longer needed. D、Athletes can become more competitive.(4)、What's the main idea of this passage?A、An Al training system helped Quan Hongchan train. B、Technologies can be used to help rowers, swimmers and cyclists. C、Technologies are helpful to the success of Chinese athletes. D、The national table tennis team used a robot to train.7. 阅读填空Did your family move and you have to go to a new school? Here are some ways to help you survive your first day as the “new kid”.
