Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference People say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw(人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy(代理人) commissioner’s(委员会) office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
"I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.
24. What do we know about Abdul
A.He plants trees with his own money.
B.He doesn't support his family.
C.He makes a living by doing different jobs.
D.He plants trees to win his neighbors' praise.
25. Why does Abdul plant trees on government land
A.To get money from government.
B.To protect them from being cut down.
C.To set a good example to people.
D.To get a place from government to build his own house.
26. Which of the following can best describe Abdul
A.Poor but helpful. B.Rich and reliable.
C.Uncaring and stupid. D.Active but dishonest.
27. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Driving a rickshaw. B.Building a better home.
C.Making big money. D.Planting trees.

The popularity of Chinese-owned video-sharing service TikTok(抖音)continues to grow among young people in the United States. In 2019, experts say the service more than doubled its American user base to 37 million. TikTok is especially popular with teens and young adults.
The service lets users create and share their short videos that they think interesting and useful. Many of them are under 15 seconds. The TikTok app offers a wide choice of sounds, brief parts of songs and special effects tools to help create a video. Some TikTok-based memes(表情包)are very popular. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has even helped launch the careers of new music stars.
TikTok is considered a competitor to the video-sharing app Snapchat, as well as Facebook's Instagram service. Snapchat and Instagram also mainly interest young users with a wide mix of photos and videos centered largely on fashion, pop culture and humor.
Last year, TikTok was the second-most downloaded app from Apple and Google stores. Only WhatsApp was downloaded more. Research company Sensor Tower guesses people have downloaded the TikTok app 1.65 billion times.
TikTok has been used by many major companies to reach young people who use little or no traditional media. One of those companies is American-based e. l. f. Cosmetics(化妆品). The makeup company's chief marketer, Kory Marchisotto, said that TikTok is "where the Gen Z party is". Gen Z is a name used to call the generation born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.“That's where they're all hanging out," Marchisotto said.
Companies appearing on TikTok can make money through advertising. Often, the companies create user "challenges" as part of their advertisement(广告) campaigns. TikTok users created 3 million videos that received more than 4 billion view.
28. Which word can best describe the videos created on TikTok

“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children’s development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.
In a three year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children’s behaviors but failed to actually increase babies’ vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle class parents.
Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child’s intelligence.
But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think ‘if I don’t do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’.”
However, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn’t say it if they didn’t believe it.”
32. Which of the following may help improve children’s language skills
A. Talking to them as much as possible.
B. Using simple words and phrases.
C. Buying them more books and DVDs.
D Creating a serious home environment.
33. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.
A. they are sure of the effects of them
B. they are influenced by others
C. they don't want to be looked down upon
D. they don't know how to teach their children
34. The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. found B. got rid of C. supported D. quit
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Baby signing classes fail to improve children’s language skills.
B. Baby signing classes increase children’s intelligence.
C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.
D. How to teach children to communicate effectively.

Forgiveness(宽恕)
Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess(控制). When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. How should you start to forgive
B. Why should you forgive
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle(角度)
E. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique.
F. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Caleb's fingers slowly moved over the piano keys (钢琴键) as he searched for the next note. He'd only been taking lessons for a few weeks, and playing the piano was harder than it looked. This one, he thought as he pressed a white key. Wrong! He tried again. Oh, this one, he thought, pressing another key. Right!
"That song is challenging," said Mrs Lee, his piano teacher, when he finished playing. "But it sounds much better than it did last week! I can tell you've been practicing really hard. I think you can take a trip to the treasure chest (百宝箱). "
The treasure chest! Caleb's eyes turned to the big golden box in the corner of the room. It was filled with candy and other fun prizes. This would be Caleb's first trip to the treasure chest.
As Mrs Lee started to teach her next student, Caleb searched through the treasure chest. Should he take the dog stickers, or the orange gum Then he saw it—a green folder (文件夹). It was his favorite color, and he could use it to carry his drawings. He reached for it. But then he saw the fruit snacks(水果零食). They were strawberry, his favorite flavor. That would be a great prize too.
Folder or fruit snacks He could not decide which choice was better. Caleb knew his mom would be there soon to pick him up, but he still couldn't decide what to pick. The folder would be perfect for his drawings, but he could almost taste the fruit snacks.
His hand moved between the two prizes as he tried to make up his mind. Then Caleb had another thought. Maybe he could take both. Mrs Lee had so many prizes in the treasure chest that she would never notice. It wouldn't even be stealing(偷) only if he wouldn't take anything next time. That would be OK, wouldn't it
Caleb looked at Mrs Lee. She was busy helping her student. Quietly Caleb put the fruit snacks and the folder into his bag and went out of the room.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Dear Zhanghao,
Having received your letter, I feel sorry to know that you have difficulty in learning English. I can understand your feeling now, but don’t worry too much and I’m writing to give you some suggestions.
First of all, don’t be disappointed and just believe in yourself. Secondly, you’d better memorize some set phrases and sentence structures and practice making sentences with them. Thirdly, spend more time in reading and reciting good passages, which will contribute to building your vocabulary and help to better your writing skills. Last but not least, keeping a diary in English is a good way to improve your English writing.
I hope my advice will be of some help to you. Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

But Caleb felt he did something wrong after a while. When he left Mrs Lee's piano room, he didn't feel good. By the time he reached the front door, he felt worse. He knew he did not feel good because of the bad choice he had made. He looked at the prizes. His problem wasn't folder or fruit snacks anymore. It was choosing the right or choosing the wrong. Caleb knew what he had to do.
Then he saw a car coming to him. That must be his mom's car. He opened the front door and waved to his mom. "Just a minute!" he called. He took out the green folder from his bag and went back to Mrs Lee's piano room. Apologizing for his stealing was hard, but he felt much better. Honesty turned out to be the best prize of all. He felt happy because he finally made a good choice by being honest.
