CHALLENGING STUDENT MYTHS
Everybody wants to be happy, lives in harmony with their parents and makes them proud, but in reality you may find yourself worried or even upset.. However, it may surprise you to know that research can help you become a more efficient and well-balanced student. Let's examine some student myths that may be interfering(干涉) with your progress.
"The most successful students have no worries in exams. "
. In fact, these students do suffer stress-just like those with average or below average scores. In the UK, a database in 2021 showed that doctors provided more calming drugs for students aged between sixteen and eighteen than they had ever done before. Many of these drugs were for very able students to help them cope with stress and exam pressure. So remember, be realistic about your abilities.
""
It is just this kind of remark that produces pressure in anybody who is already anxious. Research shows that the most effective learning takes place if you use a quite different approach. So, adjust your study plan and take time to relax. In fact, an efficient learner knows how to strike a balance between work and rest..
"I won't be successful in the future if I don't go to a key university. "
This worry does affect many Chinese students and their parents. But how true is this point of view?. First, clearly not everyone can go to a key university. Second, even if you don't go to a key university, there is still the opportunity of going to one for post-graduate study. Third, if you take a course you like and do quite well in it, your motivation, training and hard work will impress your future employer. Remember, it is never too late to learn more!
A. Let's look at the evidence
B. The most efficient students have more flexible approaches to learning
C. Some of these students are suffering harmful consequences
D. Only students who work day and night will succeed
E. This is a common assessment made of students with high scores in school
F. Above all, don't become rigid in your approachwork hard but also work smart
G. Following a trend without thinking carefully can make you stressed and depressed

Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean "the beginning of the end" of Alzheimer's? Could we even cure it some day? These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase -3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer' s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about £20, 000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side-effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31. 4% on the drug compared with 13. 6% in the placebo(安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
(1)、What can we learn about Alzheimer from the passage?A、There exists a new drug to cure it completely. B、Most people will develop Alzheimer when they are old. C、It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain. D、It results from the loss of memories as people get older.(2)、What does the underlined word "caveats" mean in paragraph 4?A、Warnings. B、Discussions. C、Debates. D、Weaknesses.(3)、What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic?A、It has the serious side-effects such as brain bleeding and deaths. B、The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment. C、The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people. D、There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the new drug?A、Approving. B、Doubtful. C、Unclear. D、Indifferent. -

A young woman holds up a book and smiles. "This is day one of me reading "The Song of Achilles' , " she says. The video jumps forward. "And this", she cries, her face stained with tears, "is me finishing it. "
A new form of literary criticism is boosting sales of books. This is BookTok, as the literary wing of the app TikTok is known. Imagine the emotional pitch of a Victorian melodrama, add music, and you have the general idea. BookTok is passionate. It is also profitable—at least for publishers.
Bloomsbury, a publishing house based in Britain, recently reported record sales and a 220% rise in profits, which Nigel Newton, its boss, put down partly to the"absolute phenomenon"of BookTok. On Amazon, BookTok is so influential that it has leapt into the titles of books themselves. The novel "It Ends With Us", for instance, is now listed as "It Ends With Us: TikTok made me buy it!" Evidently, TikTok did a good job: the romance is riding high in the top 100 in both Britain and America.
At the same time, BookTok pushes back against publishing amnesia(失忆症). Books are imagined to award immortality (不朽) to authors—to be a "monument more lasting than bronze", as the Roman poet Horace wrote-but the lifespan of most is extremely short. Dig out a list of bestsellers from 20 years ago: not only are today's readers unlikely to buy them, most won't have heard of them.
BookTok is reviving backlists. One reason published it, says Philip Gwyn Jones of Picador, a British publishing house, was that, under its influence, old titles were creeping back into the bestseller charts. It offers such books "a second life", and he applauds it. "Eventually, a great book finds its readers, " Mr. Gwyn Jones says. "You just have to hope that, unlike Kafka, authors don't have to die before that happens. "Start trending on BookTok, and they won't.
(1)、What is paragraph 1 aimed at?A、Boosting sales of books. B、Introducing the topic of the text. C、Describing the woman's feelings. D、Illustrating the book The Song ofAchilles.(2)、Why is It Ends With Us mentioned in paragraph 3?A、To promote the book via BookTok. B、To introduce the romance book in BookTok. C、To present the influence of the book in BookTok. D、To show the increase of book sales due to BookTok.(3)、What can we learn about Kafka from the last paragraph?A、BookTok makes his books masterpieces. B、Quite a few people read his books earlier. C、He died before his books were recognized. D、His books are not well received all the time.(4)、What does the author talk about BookTok?A、BookTok can make books live forever. B、It became a main form of literary criticism. C、Many authors promote their books via BookTok. D、It makes previously published books popular again. -

As a reporter, I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting them to open up. Yet here's a confession: I've been married for eight happy years, but until six months ago, I could be the stereotypical inattentive husband.
It's not that my wife and I never had pleasant conversations. But more often than I care to admit, I was just going through the motions, nodding when I was supposed to. I was the guy who'd defensively snap(厉声说), "Of course I did!" when my wife would ask, "JB, did you even hear what I just said?"
In January, I began to lose my voice repeatedly. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or else my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.
Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son stood by me looking puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't.
But before I got home, I had settled into a Zen-like peace about my silence. Soon I noticed another "side effect": As my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her; I was listening to her.
Over the next few weeks, I found myself unwilling to miss a word she said. I began to hear a sweetness in her voice that I hadn't recalled for long. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as "things I just don't get as a guy. "
I also realized my toddler(学步的儿童) wasn't just chattering nonstop but that he often had surprisingly thoughtful things to say for his age.
Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in bird songs. The rustling leaves sounded crisper to me. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.
After several months, I was fully recovered. Now conversation in our house is better, but not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.
(1)、What does the author want to tell us most in the first two paragraphs?A、He was fond of talking to strangers. B、He enjoyed taking challenges. C、Sometimes he ignored his wife's words. D、He often quarreled with his wife.(2)、Why did the author have to keep silent?A、To avoid argument. B、To hear more. C、To ensure recovery. D、To show unhappiness.(3)、After the surgery, how did the author feel about his inability to talk at first?A、Peaceful. B、Upset. C、Puzzled. D、Uncertain.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Easier said than done. B、Full set, partial to listen to the dark. C、Knowledge is power. D、Listen well and you can hear the world. -

Welcome to Biscayne National Park
Biscayne is not very far from the lights and excitement of downtown Miami. But it has a very different atmosphere from the big city. Established as a national monument in 1968, Biscayne National Park includes the northern part of the world-famous Florida Keys which are low-lying islands or reefs.
Biscayne National Park
If you enjoy water, Biscayne is the park for you. You will find the threatened huge, gentle West Indian manatee, the less gentle American crocodile, several kinds of sea turtles and over 500 species of fish. Four ecosystems come together here, which is what makes the park so diverse. The blending ecosystems create "edge communities. "
Human history
Human history at Biscayne begins more than 10, 000 years ago. Scientists say evidence of the area's earliest people is mostly underwater now and learn about these people by examining the hills of shells they left behind. As the population grew, it divided into separate cultures. The groups began making pottery and created trade networks. These Native Americans are called the Tequesta. The Tequesta depended on the rich food source of the sea to survive. They were not centered on farming and had more time than other natives for art and religion. The reefs and rough waters made it difficult for early explorers resulting in more than 50 shipwrecks. Scuba divers today can explore six of them.
Exploring the park
Many visitors to Biscayne National Park choose to explore underwater. Guides lead snorkeling and scuba diving trips. At Boca Chita Key, visitors can explore a lighthouse, a symbol of Biscayne National Park built in the 1930s. But visitors to Biscayne National Park probably are not there to see skyscrapers and city lights. The beauty in Biscayne is quiet waters, rustling mangroves.
(1)、What is the feature of the ecosystem in the Biscayne National Park?A、The mixed biological communities. B、The different species of the animals. C、The low-lying islands or reefs. D、The clear and warm waters.(2)、What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A、Human history dates back to more than 50, 000 years ago. B、The Native Americans prefer farming to fishing. C、Scuba divers today are to see skyscrapers and city lights. D、Biscayne is a paradise for the water sports enthusiasts.(3)、Where is the text most probably taken from?A、A personal diary. B、A travel magazine. C、A geography textbook. D、A book review. -

16、 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Planting Day
When I was little, I often helped my mother plant our family's garden. As soon as the chilly winds of Chicago winter gave way to spring, Mom would be outside with a spade(铁 锹), seed packets, gardening gloves, and a secret smile. I would kneel by her side for hours, carefully digging holes and pushing seeds into the earth. We would spend hour after hour repeating the process.
Unfortunately, as I grew up, I found better ways to spend the first days of spring. After all, I was too old to kneel in the dirt all day planting some silly seeds.
Surprisingly, my mother never said much about my decision until two years ago, the spring I turned 14. I was on my way to a friend's house when Mom stopped me.
"Would you please help me with the planting today?" she asked.
"Oh, Mom, I was just getting ready to leave," I said. "I'll probably be gone most of the day."
She looked up for a moment as I walked past, and from the corner of my eye I saw a certain pain and sadness in her gaze(注视). At first my heart told me I should stay to help, but as I got farther from home and closer to an exciting day of hanging out with friends, I forgot it. I didn't think much about that day until nearly a year later.
One of my father's good friends suddenly lost his wife to cancer. The doctors hadn't discovered Sara's illness until it was too late. She died shortly after the diagnosis(诊断), leaving behind her husband and two small, confused children.
Right away, Mom went south to visit the family and spent a few hours with little Rachel. When she came home, she told me this story.
When Sara had received her terminal diagnosis, she asked her husband, "What should I leave our children? How do I give them something to remember me by, a symbol of my love for as long as they live?"
Mom learned the answer from Rachel.
"Mommy made me my own garden," Rachel said, as she led Mom outdoors. The garden was a masterpiece, in which a piece of Sara's heart and soul was left in full bloom for her children.
As I listened to my mother tearfully tell Sara's story, I realized the true power of a garden.
……
A few weeks later, I came home to find several bags of seeds on the kitchen table.

Cheating by using the work of others' is the same ruining your life with drugs. Not only is it (necessary) and foolish , but it can also start to (addict) in many ways. If a student constantly cheats, then it may become a habit in the future. Besides , no one needs to cheat. We all have brains. Anyway , it' s not likely that we'll succeed in life if we continuously cheat. So there is no need(ruin) both your education and your life by cheating.
Cheaters usually suffer many consequences. In the beginning when students are in grade school, cheating may only lead to (they) losing credits and going to the principal's office. In middle school, there will be Saturday punishments and even parent-teacher(conference). But in high school, college, and the rest of a person's life, it is (absolute) unlikely that cheating will be tolerated.
Of all things, (take) credit for others' work is not only useless but quite unreasonable. If we all just do our work, then there is no pointcheating. Most importantly, if we all work hard instead of cheating, then everyone (live) a successful life.

I had a brother, who was named Charles. He was born one month before his due date and had developmental 1 . He never lost his2 teeth, never grew taller than about 30 inches and never 3 more than 28 pounds. They did predict,4 , that he would not live to see his 12th birthday.
As a boy I learned to feed and 5 Charles every day, though I was6 . As a teenager, I babysat for my "big brother" and learned the7 amount of medicine to prevent him from trembling.
Many people said he would never walk or talk, and should be 8 to some special hospital. He never did learn to walk, but he did learn to talk — not even in 9 sentences, but he had the basics down. If he was 10 or thirsty, we knew.
He knew11 , too. I was Kagun, not Kevin. But that changed with a beard I grew during the summer before college. Family members said it was ugly. Charles heard it. "Look who's at home. Who's that?" they'd say to Charles. "Ugly, "he would respond with 12 .
All of that to me was 13 , for he was the only brother I have. I never thought of him as different. Although we never played catch or talked about our dreams, he taught me respect for those less 14 than myself. And he taught me an15 of the beauty in the simplest things.
Physically and mentally, I was my brother's keeper. Spiritually, Mike was and is my keeper — a nearly silent guardian angel.

Easy Ways to Sleep Better
You can finally rest easy — we asked sleep experts to tell us everything they know about the healthy habits that help you sleep better.
Make your bed before you get in it. Sleep healthily is all about creating an ideal environment for sleep.That's why it's so important to make your bed each morning. If you don't get a chance to do it before you leave the house, make your bed in the evening before you turn in.
Use blackout curtains(不透光窗帘).One way to ensure blackness in your sleep environment is to invest in room-darkening curtains designed to against light—including street lights that come on at night.
Use a sound machine. A machine designed to create white noise or soft sounds like running water is a great way to defeat the kinds of sounds that disrupt(扰乱) sleep like street noise.
Put away your electronics at bedtime. By now, you've probably heard that it's a really bad idea to bring your smartphone or laptop to bed.The blue light can stimulate your brain, and even affect your mood.
Commit yourself to one wake-up time. Many doctors only talk about going to bed at a fixed time. But when the morning light comes in through your window, it hits your optic nerve and affects your circadian rhythm(昼夜节律).
A. You are supposed to wake up at 7:00 every morning.
B. Waking up at the same time each morning can affect your sleep quality.
C. Experts even warn against keeping the TV on around bedtime.
D. Placing a machine full of water beside you while sleeping helps a lot.
E. One of the best habits for a good night's sleep is a comfortable bed.
F. These sounds can calm some people to sleep even better than silence.
G. Keep your room as dark as possible — the darker, the better.
