At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, the doctor said I have attention disorder. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the writing when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, a story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he created a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: See what you can do when you keep trying.
24. Why was the author unable to finish the task in class
A He had attention problems. B. He had difficulty in reading.
C. He failed to understand the task. D. He wanted to take the task home.
25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the text
A He was good at writing. B. He taught himself literature.
C. He suffered from attention disorder. D. He created a system to help the blind study.
26. What helped the author finish his paper
A. His parents’ help. B. Mrs Smith’s words.
C. Louis Braille’s story. D. His classmates’ encouragement.
27. What did Mrs Smith’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. The disabled should be treated with respect.
B. Everyone needs a hand when faced with trouble.
C. Teachers can help open up a new world to students.
D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

Children experiencing frequent family violence in Guangdong Province will be regarded as victims, according to a local draft against family violence. The draft will be handed in for consideration and agreement by the People’s Congress.
“It will help to improve people’s understanding of family violence and provide a better family environment for the development of children’s mental health.” said Chen Yongkang, deputy director of the social construction committee of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress, “More detailed and exact measures against family violence will be made in the near future to better protect children’s health. Although they are not victims of physical hurt, children will be living under huge psychological shadows for quite a long time.”
The Guangdong Women’s Federation said the province recorded 14,172 cases of family violence between 2016 and 2018. Nearly 30 percent of China’s 270 million families have family violence problems, which cause 100,000 families to fall apart every year. About 90 percent of family violence victims are women.
“Family violence not only causes broken marriages, but also brings great harm to the development of children’s mental health,” Chen said. “The new draft will also help offenders realize they are doing something harmful to children. It will also make governments and social organizations pay more attention to the problem.”
According to the draft, mental violence will also be seen as an aspect of family violence. “Family violence is not all about physical hurt. Mental violence, including frequent shouting, does harm to family members, especially children,” Chen said.
28. What does Chen Yongkang say about family violence
A. It is difficult to solve the problem.
B. It is the main reason for broken marriages.
C. It greatly influences children’s mental health.
D. It hurts children more than other family members.
29. How does the author help us understand the seriousness of family violence
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By studying cases. D. By comparing facts.
30. What can be known about the draft
A. It aims to protect women victims.
B. It mainly focuses on children’s physical hurt.
C. It has been carried out in Guangdong Province.
D It will make the public more concerned about family violence.
31. Where does the text most probably come from
A. A law book. B. A news report.
C. A lifestyle program. D. A science magazine.
D
US writer Margaret Lee Runbeck once wrote, “Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.” But traveling is not always happy, at least for the two people in the movie Green Book.
The movie was based on the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to perform, but they face problems because of Shirley’s skin color. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.
“There’s something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle at the San Francisco Chronicle. The time LaSalle talked about was between the late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history, when many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws, which allowed racial separation (种族隔离). These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might go to jail. Even famous black people had to follow the laws.
But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too. Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow, but they probably don’t know about the Green Book. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.
32. What can be known about the movie Green Book
A. It focuses on friendship.
B. It tells a happy travel in the southern US.
C. It shows the racial problem in US history.
D. It mainly describes a black pianist’s special life.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Start a new topic for discussion.
B. Introduce the origin of the movie.
C. Summarize the first two paragraphs.
D. Provide some background information.
34. What does the underlined word “jail” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Bed. B. Prison. C. Station. D. Church.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. US people think highly of the Green Book today.
B. Jim Crow laws went away because of the Green Book.
C. The Green Book is a good guide for foreigners traveling in America.
D. Victor H. Green made a great contribution to African-Americans.

I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after meals. I also water the flowers in the yard and tidying up my own bedroom whatever necessary. In my opinion, students can benefit a lot doing some housework. Firstly, doing housework was helpful for us to be a responsible person. Also, it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and it improves the family relationship. What's most, doing housework can be a form of mentally relaxation from study. That’s our view on housework. And hopes this can inspire more thinking on the topic!

Online learning has become an important way to study. However, it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it is convenient and time-saving, allowing us to learn anytime and anywhere we like. Besides, it provides us with a wide range of learning resources and flexible learning ways. On the other hand, there is a greater chance of us being drawn to social media and other sites. We may also develop physical problems as a result of sitting in front of the screen for a long time. To avoid these problems, we should try our best to concentrate on our study and take enough breaks from the screen to refresh our mind and body.
