Refresh your bedroom
Whether you would like to change the theme of your bedroom or just want to give it an updated look, you don't need a big budget to make it happen. Here's how you can get started.
Clear out the mess
Before you start freshening up your space, take a look around to see what you have that you could give away to someone who could use it. Ask an adult for two bags or boxes, one for items you want to donate and one for anything that can go directly in the trash.
Think about light
One simple room update that has a big impact is turning up your lighting. One idea is to hang inexpensive LED string lights on a wall. Moving other lighting devices from another part of the house to your room, with permission from an adult, can also add soft lighting to your space.
Another inexpensive change that can have big results is paint. Ask an adult if they're willing to help you paint an ac cent wall in your room. An accent wall is a good chance to take a risk with color since it's only one wall. You can choose to paint the wall behind your headboard or even a closet door. If you don't want to paint, you could check out wallpaper whose colors matches your room.
Add personal touches
You can ask a parent for any spare picture frames(框架) or pick some up together at a thrift shop or craft store. Print out photos and frame() them for display. You could also frame your own artwork to hang on a wall or lean it against a dresser.
A. Consider color.
B. Green your space.
C. Or you could try a lamp on a nightstand or desk.
D. Personalize your room with photos of family and friends.
E. With a few smart strategies , you can give your room a whole new feel.
F. Add new colors and patterns to liven up the look and feel of your space.
G. Once your room is neat, you can see what kinds of changes you might want to make.

2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
It's good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?
What is oversharing? The term has become connected with social media, but it isn't exclusive(独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone.
Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to specialist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does oversharing translate into social media?
Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people expose(使显露), the less sympathy(同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we will get more negative experiences if we share them more. It seems that sad fishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.
However, Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive. Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging(吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well', would you really have time to share a photo with text?
So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.
(1)、How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?A、By providing data. B、By raising a question. C、By giving an example. D、By analyzing cause and effect.(2)、Why does the author describe a scene in paragraph 2?A、To illustrate what oversharing is. B、To attract readers' attention and interest. C、To explain the reason of oversharing. D、To connect oversharing with social media.(3)、According to Dr Hand, what may happen when people overshare online?A、They would have no time to enjoy their real life. B、People are likely to doubt their intention for help. C、People show no sympathy when they are in trouble. D、They will definitely become more socially attractive.(4)、Which of the following online sharing does the author most agree with?A、Showing off your expensive lifestyle. B、Complaining frequently about your work. C、Sharing photos of your breakfast every day. D、Recording a video of how you save money. -
3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Made from sustainably cut down trees, and sat in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve, with views of splendid mountain s and glassy lakes, this brand-new hotel in Scotland is already a firm favorite among guests. Although unfortunately for humans, this grand establishment entertains the six-legged kind.
Measuring more than 7,000 cubic feet, a Scottish conservation group, Highland Titles,used cut-down Sitka spruce(西加云杉), bamboo canes, bricks, wood chips, forest bark, clay pipes, and strawberry netting to build a hotel for insects. The hotel sits in the group's nature reserve in Duror, in the West of Scotland. Overlooking Loch Linnhe, it's a desirable spot that most human guests would pay hundreds of dollars for the opportunity to stay there.
"This record-breaking project is about the environmental message," says Douglas Wilson, CEO of Highland Titles. "We bought this land in 2006 when it was a poorly performing commercial forestry plantation of non-native Sitka Spruce. "Like much of the Highlands, it was unsuitably planted in the late 1980s with no thought or consideration given to biodiversity. Using these same trees for something that puts nature first symbolizes that the world has changed, and we hope our efforts will inspire others."
The decline of insects in Scotland parallels what's happening across the world—a trend of what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction. The UK is seeing the most significant of those declines out of every country in the world. A report released in 2019 showed the extent(程度) of the damage that humans have caused to the planet: wiping out 60% of mammals(哺乳动物), birds, fish, and reptiles(爬行动物) since 1970. The report also highlighted(强调) the"terrible state" of insect biodiversity in the world. Almost half of the species are rapidly declining and a third are being threatened with extinction.
Insects are the heart of global food web s and ecosystems. They're essential in recycling nutrients, pollinating(授粉) plants, and as food for countless vertebrate(有脊椎的) species.In Scotland's Duror, there are high hopes that the region's new hotel will not help promote insect visitors, but inspire other reserves and environmental organizations to build their own.
(1)、Which of the following are likely to become guests of the hotel mentioned in the text?A、Ants whose nests are destroyed. B、Hikers attracted to the beautiful views. C、Bears that need to find a shelter. D、Guests willing to pay hundreds of dollars.(2)、Why does Highland Titles build this hotel?A、To use the trees properly. B、To attract visitors to this land. C、To make the land commercial. D、To protect the diversity of insects.(3)、What does the underlined word "parallel" mean in paragraph 4?A、be related to B、be in contrast to C、be in line with D、be fed up with(4)、Which of the following is not the reason why insects are important?A、They play a key role in global food webs. B、They inspire people to build their own hotels. C、They are an essential medium(媒介) to pollinate plants. D、They can absorb nutrients from the environment. -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question," What do you look forward to the most in college?" I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied," Ilook forward to the possibility of failure." Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.
"You see, my parents have never let me fail," he said. "When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it's not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding(要求高的) course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see as a risk to my academic work and college success."
These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions(违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts(成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission.
I've spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce(回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can't be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon.
Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let's allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.
(1)、What can you infer about students in the author's interviews?A、They usually try all out to display their strengths. B、They usually express a desire to experience failure. C、They usually take a risk so as to get admitted into college. D、They usually complain about their parents' control over them.(2)、What can you learn from paragraph 3?A、Students should make their college applications perfect. B、Secondary school teachers don't like to give studentsA. C、Secondary schools tend to help cover students' imperfections. D、Outstanding scores will certainly ensure you a place in a college.(3)、According to the author, what quality may be expected from students by college professors?A、The ability to learn outside class. B、The ability to deal with failure. C、The ability to be always confident. D、The ability to learn on their own.(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Failure is the mother of success. B、Teenagers are far from being perfect. C、If you want to get into college, learn to fail. D、If you want to impress interviewers, take a risk. -
