In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is 1 oneself that one has the least understanding of. When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your 2 . When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a realist-aware of both one's 3 and weaknesses. You may 4 hopefully to the future but be sure not to 5 too much,for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be 6 to meet challenges but it should be clear to you 7 to direct your efforts. That's to say,so long as you have a perfect 8 of yourself,there won't be difficulties you can't overcome.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you think you are a towering tree or a blade of grass,a high mountain or a small stone,you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of 9 . If you earnestly admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation,which will give you confidence.10 you gain full confidence in yourself,you'll be enabled to fight and overcome any difficulty.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed. In time of anger,do yourself a favor by giving an outlet to it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by 11 it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one;in time of tiredness,do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some stimulant. Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life.12 you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor,you won't be confident and ready enough to 13 the attack of illness. As you are aware,what a person physically has is but a human body that's vulnerable when14 to the elements. So if you fall ill,it's up to you to take a good care of yourself.
In a word,to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full 15 of one's life. Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor.

We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons. It might be to save up for a new computer or put money aside into a rainy-day fund. ,but a recent study showed that over half of all 22~29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out on too many things,or are there other factors?And how can we become better savers?
First,put a stop to those impulse buys. ,even if it is on sale or looks like a bargain. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it's costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.
. Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget you must stick to. Also,any change that comes from your transactions when you're using cash can be put in jar and deposited into your account.
Finally,be disciplined. . It's about sticking to it,too. You shouldn't be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. .
Just as the old saying goes: "A penny saved is a penny earned." These are some of the actions we can take to help us all become better savers.
A. Learning how to save is important
B. Ask about discounts and pay in cash
C. It's not just about creating that budget
D. Sometimes,saving money can be difficult
E. Another way is to use cash rather than card
F. Ask yourself if you really need to buy something
G. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up

The impact of the man-made climate crisis on Antaretica is scientifically undeniable:stable ice shelves are retreating,air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius,krill(磷虾)numbers are declining,melting ice is contributing to sea level rise,and polar bears and seals are getting displaced. "Antaretic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual. "Jasmine Rachael Lee,lead author of the University of Queensland study says.
Published in the journal PLOS Biology,the study finds population declines are likely for 65%of the continent's plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The most vulnerable(脆弱的)species is the Emperor penguins. In October 2022,the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperor penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA),as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26%to 47%dip in its population by 2050. "This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转). "said Service Director Martha Williams at the time.
Aside from Emperor penguins,other Antarctic specialists,like the Adélic penguin and dry soil nematodes,were also highly vulnerable. We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antaretica is coming from outside of it. And then we need local actions to help protect biodiversity against local threats and give them the best chance of adapting to climate changes. This will help to save our iconic (代表性的) species like the Emperor penguins and all of Antaretical's unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will also help humankind,as we rely heavily on the priceless services the Antarctic provides in regulating our climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets.
(1)、What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A、The impact of climate crisis is usually denied. B、Conservation efforts are badly needed. C、Air temperature on Antarctic increases 3℃annually. D、Sea level rise results in scabirds losing their habitats.(2)、Why is the Emperor penguin mentioned in Paragraph 2?A、To serve as a call to protect wildlife on Antaretic. B、To reflect the growing population of wild species. C、To prove the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act. D、To highlight the severe impact of rising temperature.(3)、What is probably the best conservation policy?A、Reducing the chances of making a trip to Antaretic. B、Making joint efforts to relieve climate change. C、Attempting to provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem. D、Continuing to carry forward the Endangered Species Act.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Plants and Wildlife on Antarctica Will Deeline Quickly B、Antaretic Species Are Vulnerable to Human Threats C、More Action Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife on Antaretica D、The Best Conservation Strategy Will Be Carried Out Soon -

When I was 13,I climbed my first mountain-a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak. I was overweight at the lime and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved challenging myself. Soon I'd climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy I'd finally found a hobby.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen. She and I drove to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It's safer lo start winter climbs at night when there's less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day,we started at3 a. m. Al around 9 a. m. ,we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step.
I gained a sense of the ice when I stuck my ax and crampons (鞋底钉) into it,and it felt good. Confident I was safe,I put my full weight on it. Suddenly,I heard a crack,and as the snowpack became thinner,a whole piece of ice broke off the step,right under my fool.
In an instant,I fell backward,bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking,"This is it. You're done. "I stuck out my arms and legs,grabbing at anything. That stopped my rolling down the mountain,but I was still sliding. After a few seconds,I came to a stop on a shallow slope.
I asked myself:Where are you?Mount Hood. What's the date?December 30. Good. My brain was functioning. Then I checked my body to see where I was hurt. For the most part,I was fine,except that I was suffering from a sharp pain in my left leg. Later I'd learn that I'd broken my femur (大腿骨) and that the bone was slicing into my skin and muscle.
At the bottom of Mount Hood,I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital. The doctors told me it would be a year before I could climb again,but I was back on the trails within six months.
(1)、Why did the author and her friend set out at3 a. m. ?A、It was the best time to enjoy scenery. B、It was more challenging to climb at night. C、They wanted to finish the climb before sunset. D、They hoped to avoid some possible dangers.(2)、Why is"a character in a video game"mentioned in paragraph 4?A、To show her strong character. B、To make her idea more convincing.

B、By checking whether she was injured. C、By telling an ambulance for rescue. D、By asking herself some factual questions.(4)、What can we learn about the author?A、She is 100 brave to pay attention to any danger. B、She has a strong desire for professional knowledge.

The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi murmured, "Sorry, teacher," and rushed to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles (咯咯笑) quickly died down. Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name at the same time just to see him jump and stop suddenly. When he spotted the merry crowd in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. "Mohi must be listening to music, since he had never played music at school." Hamed thought. He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. The music played on.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise.
Paragraph 2:
When Teacher's Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform.

Feeling upset is a normal part of life. Something stressful may occur everywhere, and make you angry or anxious. We can't control what is happening around us. Here are some useful ways to keep our cool when we feel frustrated.
Conflicts with others can be difficult to deal with. Sometimes we need to leave from the unpleasant condition. It is OK to say, "I'm going to take a break" and go for a walk or find a quiet place to sit and cool off. The goal is to give yourself some space to calm down and consider what to do next.
Do breathing exercises to relax
When we're upset, our nervous system will speed up our heart rate and muscles tense. It prepares the body as if to meet an attack. If possible, find a safe place, sit comfortably and focus on your breath, breathing deeply and evenly. Mindful breathing helps us calm our feelings.
Lift your mood with laughter
Laughter relieves the tension we feel when depressed. We can think of a joke or watch a video that always makes us roar with laughter. Afterward, you may be able to lift the fog of frustration. Make sure what you use is not mean-spirited, though.
Change your language
Once things appear disappointing, many of us might punish ourselves with unkind words. In fact, it doesnˈt have to be this way. For example, instead of saying "I always mess things up," we could say, "I made a mistake, but Iˈll do it better next time."
A. Keep yourself away from the noise
B. Remove yourself from the situation
C. We should turn negative thoughts into positive statements.
D. Those kinds of humor can actually make us feel more down.
E. Thus, we can be physically and mentally entertained from that.
F. You can soften such physical reaction by using practical techniques.
G. However, we can decide how we behave and react to the troubles we face.

Next time you're having trouble solving a tricky puzzle, consider asking a nearby bumblebee.
A new study in the journal PLOS Biology finds that bumblebees can learn certain behaviors from each other, suggesting these social insects have a capacity for what we humans call "culture".
In the past couple of decades, a growing body of evidence has shown that animals like chimps and birds show behaviors of learning. If what they learn lasts for a long time, it turns into a tradition. And culture is made up of multiple traditions. "Bumblebees, though, have some of the most complex behavioral abilities, nobody's really thought to look at culture in such insects and generally assume they're mostly driven by inborn factors instead," says Alice Bridges, a behavioral ecologist at Anglia Ruskin University in England.
To prove them wrong, Bridges built a puzzle box, whose base held the reward: a drop of super sweet sugar water. The box was designed with a rotating (旋转) top that can be rotated by pushing either on a red tab clockwise or a blue tab anti-clockwise. Some bees were trained to push the red tab to get the sugar water while others pushed the blue one. Then, these tutor bees were placed inside different colonies (蜂群), along with the puzzle boxes.
The experiment ultimately played itself out. In colonies where the tutor bee had originally learned to push the red tab, the other bees in the colony usually pushed the red tab. In colonies where the tutor bee was trained to push the blue tab, their fellow bees also tended to do the same. In contrast, in the control groups without tutors, the bees sometimes learned how to open the boxes, but most of them would do it once or twice and then never again. "They perhaps hadn't quite made the link between their behavior and the reward," Bridges supposes.
"Many of us consider ourselves to be rather special…because we have culture, we can learn and weˈre social," Bridges says. "But now it turns out that even the bee also has culture, which is an uncomfortable truth: human culture, once thought unique, does not emerge 'out of the blue' but has obviously built on deep evolutionary foundations."
(1)、What is people's common attitude to bumblebees having culture?A、Positive. B、Indifferent. C、Interested. D、Doubtful.(2)、Why does Bridges place trained bees inside different colonies?A、To test their learning capability in new settings. B、To see if they will spread the secret of the boxes. C、To evaluate their ruling power in various groups. D、To observe if they will share their food with peers.(3)、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study?A、Its appeal to the public. B、Implications on cultural origins. C、Its practical application. D、Suggestions for future directions.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Human Culture Is Losing Its Uniqueness B、Bee's Behavior Builds on Biological Factors C、Culture May Be Present Among Bumblebees D、Animals' Evolution May Start From Colonies -

Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late—that's an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found.
So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride's shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it? "There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist." said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.
One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take—something known as the planning fallacy(谬误). Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.
Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. In a 2003 study run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you're doing. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that's more likely to be late. While highly strung(紧张不安), achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back(漫不经心), have a higher chance to be late.
Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn't necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.
(1)、What does the underlined word "paradox" mean in paragraph 2?A、Strategy. B、Argument. C、Solution. D、Puzzle.(2)、What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers?A、They plan to spend more time on a task. B、They tackle more than one task at a time. C、They suffer from concentration difficulties. D、They have high expectations for achievements.(3)、Which advice can be given to people who are always late?A、Learn to accept who you are. B、Change your personality type. C、Divide a task into smaller ones. D、Keep to the timetable accurately.(4)、What is the main idea of the text?A、Time management contributes to success. B、Late comers should be severely punished. C、One's always being late is linked to personality. D、Changing personality helps improve punctuality. -

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating plastic from the Pacific Ocean by moving into rivers, using his new floating machine to catch garbage before it reaches the seas.
On October 26, Boyan Slat presented his solar-powered device "Interceptor", which removes plastic from rivers as it floats past.
"We need to close the tap, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place," he said, calling rivers "the arteries(动脉) that carry the trash from land to sea." Experts say 9 million tons of plastic waste, including plastic bottles, bags, and toys, flows annually into the ocean from rivers and streams, endangering life in the oceans.
The machine has a shaped nose to block away larger floating waste like tree trunks. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in its bow, a conveyor belt(转送带) then carries the trash into the machine where it is dropped into waste containers. It sends a text message to local operators who can come and empty it when it's full.
Three of the machines have already been put into practice in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Malaysian government official lzham Hashim was present at the launch and said he was delighted to witness the project.
"It has been used for 2 months in the river and itˈs doing very well." Slat said. 1,000 rivers are responsible for some 80 percent of plastic pouring into the world's oceans. "I want to settle them all in the next five years. This is not going to be easy, but imagine if we do get this done," he told his enthusiastic supporters, "we'll truly make our oceans clean again."
Jan van Franeker of the Wageningen Marine Research Institute said the new machine looks promising. "They have finally moved toward the source of the litter," he said in a telephone interview. "The design, from what I can see, is awesome."
(1)、Why does the author quote Slat and experts' words in paragraph 3?A、To stress the importance of rivers. B、To prove the severity of the pollution. C、To show their insight into the problem. D、To explain the background of the invention.(2)、What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A、The responsibility of the operator. B、The function of the conveyor belt. C、The working principle of the device. D、The critical role of the shaped nose.(3)、Which of the following words best describe Slat?A、Ambitious and innovative. B、Optimistic and humorous. C、Confident and honest. D、Talented and proud.(4)、What does Franeker think of the new machine?A、It takes time to improve. B、It has a bright future. C、Its design is disappointing. D、Its appearance is attractive. -

I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunch, as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. "I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds," she said, pulling it up by its roots. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."
"But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions."
My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of people too," she added. "Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that." Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.
