1、Emma, a heartwarming and hard- working young librarian (图书管理员), held a deep- seated fear: public speaking. When she was invited to give the opening speech at the yearly Serenity Book Festival——a celebration too important to refuse— her anxiety rose.
Oliver, a bright and considerate boy who came to the library often, quickly sensed Emma's anxiety. Having always valued her warmth and hard work, Oliver went up to her with a gentle smile."Why don't we get over our fear like heroes (男主人公) in them?" he suggested kindly,pointing to the books on the desk. Moved by the boy's encouragement, Emma agreed softly," Alright, let's give it a try" With each practice, Emma slowly built up the confidence to bravely face her fear.
With the festival coming around the corner, Emma practiced before small groups, then larger ones, seemingly improving. But a week before the great day, she received an unexpected letter from her old teacher, Mr Langston, who expressed his decision to attend and looked forward to her speech, adding to her anxiety. Noticing her worry, Oliver told her how much she had improved. They did a final practice in front of her workmates, whose encouragement increased her confidence greatly, calming (使……冷静下来) her nerves for the big day.

2、Teenage life around the world differs, influenced by education, family duties and personal interests. Stories from Asha (Tanzania), Samika (Bangladesh), Lila (USA) and Frieder (Germany) reveal their daily lives, dreams, challenges, and how diverse (多样化的) young lives are.
Asha, Tanzania
Hi! I'm Asha from Tanzania. Like most teenagers, I start my day early and end it late. After school, I learn with my partner to prepare for the University Entrance Exam. When I have time off, I prefer to be outdoors. I love nature and animals. I feel quite annoyed at how humans treat the environment, so I do my best to help. I volunteer to plant trees and I'm a member of our school's Nature Club.
Samika, Bangladesh
Hi, I'm Samika and I'm slim. I wish I were a student, but I'm not. I had to leave school at 13 to help my family. I work in a dress factory. It's unbelievably hard work and we sweat all day long. Although everyone works hard, my partners and I still find time to practice push-ups and jogging together. At times like these, the world feels like an amazing place.

I live a positive life.

3、The stage lights dimmed, and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the1. Blinded by the lights, I quickly2. It seemed that a great number of eyes were looking at me. I entered the stage and began my3, the graduation test of the classical Indian dance.
After a decade of learning this art form, I had4 been considered ready to take on the most difficult act. The test is the most important event in a dancer's life.
The performance was undertaken only by the most5 and determined students. It was a difficult process that required much commitment. For more than six months, I spent two to three hours every day6 these dances. Many times, I7 myself to my physical and mental breaking point, but still I would not stop. I could not give up. There was always so much more to do and so much more to8.
I discovered a lot about myself in those tiring hours. I learnt that I was far too9 to give up, and I was too proud to prove myself10 after I had set an unrealistic goal. Even with physical pain and mental11, I forced myself to meet my12. Even when I was at the end of my13, there was always something driving me on, forcing me not to give up.
Fortunately, I made it. What I had done14 the success. It was in those hours that I learnt what a dancer15 is.

4、In a clinical trial with 80 adults, a team of researchers found that sleep extension reduced energy intake and resulted in a negative energy balance in real-life settings among adults with overweight who habitually reduced their sleep duration (持续时间). The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity.
The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session.
Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day — which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term.
Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity.
"In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation," Dr. Tasali said. "Now we've shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight."
(1)、What's the new finding of the research?A、Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B、Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C、Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D、Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration.(2)、What's the probable meaning of the underlined word "adverse" in paragraph 2?A、Harmful. B、Unique. C、Lasting. D、Apparent.(3)、According to the text, the subject of the study ________.A、usually slept 6.5 hours per night B、were 80 adults of the similar age group C、got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D、were particularly chosen from a certain place(4)、What do researchers think of the study?A、Its results are hard to explain clearly. B、It lays a foundation for further studies. C、It's unreliable with many factors ignored. D、It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. -
5、To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective (看法) on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn't appreciate the fact that it's the best place to witness extraordinary animals.
In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of "Wild Shaale" on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation (保护) and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.
While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it's delivered effectively and consistently. "You have to visualize (想象) what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything. "
Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions (看法) and hopefully, behaviors. "It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise," Karanth says. "But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That's something we're trying to work on. It's not easy."
(1)、What problem might Karanth's hometown have faced?A、Human-wildlife conflict. B、Loss of wildlife habitats. C、Overpopulation of elephants. D、Disregard for wildlife balance.(2)、Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale?A、To help students identify animals. B、To fill a gap in local education. C、To change how students perceive wildlife. D、To publicize wildlife diversity.(3)、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A、The support for the plan. B、The barrier to the program. C、The curriculum arrangement. D、The schools' conditions.(4)、What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program?A、A change in humans' attitudes and behavior. B、A breakthrough in environmental studies. C、Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D、Approaches to changing animals' behavior. -

I was2 . I thought, perhaps this is not a3 topic. Well, I'd better change the topic. So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?4 the way, have you ever5 there?"
"Certainly, everyone back home will6 me if I leave China without seeing it. It was great." I said, "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of7." Soon I was interrupted again by his words, "8!" I couldn't9 asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn't ask you to do so," he answered, gently surprised.
I said, "Didn't you say ‘You don't say'?"
Hearing this, the Englishman10 to tears. He began to11, "‘You don't say' actually means ‘really?'. It is an12 of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention13 English idioms."

15、China's hot word, tuhao, may be in Oxford English Dictionary.
In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with Apple's gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China's rich people. The color became known as "tuhao golden". The word is now often used to refer to people who have money but lack taste.
There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and No Zuo No Die, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase No Zuo No Die, meaning if you don't do stupid things, they won't come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and dim sum have also been included in the dictionary.
BBC World News recently made a special program called "Tuhao, let's be friends!"" The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China," says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Beijing University.
What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language's influence?
Xing Hongbing, a professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said "These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases are the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what's happening in China."
(1)、Which of the following words is NOT a hot Chinglish word?A、Dama B、Karaoke C、Tuhao D、Dim sum(2)、The word "dama" becomes so popular because ________.A、they are wealthy middle-aged women B、they bought gold crazily when the price was down C、they made the gold price up D、they worked on the Wall Street(3)、According to the passage, Xing Hongbing agreed that _________.A、Foreigners want to know more about the culture of China from Chinglish. B、Chinglish hot words tell some funny things about China. C、Chinglish plays important roles in daily life of Chinese. D、Chinglish hot words are so vivid that people like using them a lot.(4)、What's the purpose of writing this article?A、To describe the hot words in Oxford English Dictionary. B、To explain the meanings of some Chinese hot words. C、To describe the use of Chinglish hot words and their influence. D、To show the different opinions about Chinglish hot words. -
