A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a 100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this 100 bill ” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this 100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now ” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this ” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said. “Who still wants it ” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter（无论）what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth 100!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled（崩溃）, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you.

Many of us don’t pay attention to the importance of eye care. It’s said that if you take care of your body, then you can be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight, like not enough food, genes(基因) and aging(年龄增长). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight.
If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a rest every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.
Eating healthy foods will do good for your eyesight. Remember that vitamins(维生素) A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(规律地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.
All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.
4．________ is the most important way to protect our eyes.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life Somebody mentions（提到）hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically (按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= “98”, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= “96”, while love: 12+15+22+5= “54”, and luck: 12+21+3+11= “47”, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer (祈祷) They can’t, either.
Then what else Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude (态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure (失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
8．What is the mark of the word “money”
A．54 B．72 C．96 D．100
9．In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life

11．From the passage we can learn that ______.

Jane Austen（1775-1817）, an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life. Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless.” Jenkyns said.
Pride and Prejudice（偏见）（1813）is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their families don’t want them to.
In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.
Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.
12．From Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2, we can know ________.
A．Jane Austen passed away in her fifties
B．Austen’s works remain popular today
C．all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films
D．Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family
13．What does the underlined word “vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．庸俗的 B．鲁莽的 C．吝啬的 D．狡诈的
14．Elizabeth hasn’t a first good impression of Mr. Darcy because he is _________.

15．Which of the following sentences is True
A．Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.
B．Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.
C．Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family.
D．Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end.

China’s Double 11 online shopping festival is now getting greener. It has become a test field where some companies are trying to make a difference in lower carbon emission (碳排放).
In 2021, Tmall gave out 100 million yuan worth of shopping vouchers (代 券 ). The company encouraged people to buy green products with the vouchers. JD．com also joined in the activity. There were more than 150 million green products at the shopping festival. Besides, JD．com said it would choose cleaner transportation to make the world greener.
ZTO Express also took some action to achieve the goal last year. It handed out more than 11 million recyclable bags, taking the place of about 1.l6 billion disposable ( 次性的) bags. It was helpful in saving our environment. At the same time, Cainiao gave out 7.5 million eggs to people who took part in the box recycling activity. On the one hand, the old bags can be recycled and on the other hand, customers can get something useful in their daily lives.
There are also signs that customers are becoming “greener” in their shopping habits. For example, most people only buy things they really need instead of the things they already have. “During the Double 11, I bought a coffee maker that is much cheaper than on normal days. The activity of getting new ones with old products can help us avoid wasting money,” said Bi Xin, a customer in Shenzhen.
The shopping festival on November 11th is not only a festival for shopping now. It’s also a useful way to help more people realize what a green life is and then take action.

Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people safe during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes happen, they become life-saving places.
Many useful things in those special parks can meet people’s basic needs.
For example, it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can get drinking water from the water pump (泵). If people need to use toilets (厕所), they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. Also, the helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) can land on squares or baseball fields and bring food or other things to people. What’s more, if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking things.
However, those useful things are not enough for people to face earthquakes. The most important part lies in training people. The parks, together with fire stations and the police, will train with local people at the usual time. This will let people think and move faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.
So, what can we do to protect ourselves from getting hurt in earthquakes First, we need to check our furniture and make sure they won’t fall down easily. Second, when an earthquake happens, we need to stay under tables or desks and protect our head. Third, we can keep our door open and wear comfortable shoes during small earthquakes in order to get out safely.

① drinking water ② traditional toilets ③ personal planes ④ cooking things
A．①③ B．③④ C．①④ D．②④
22．Why are useful things “not enough” for people
A．Because they can’t work well.
B．Because self-help is more important.
C．Because the government doesn’t have enough money.
D．Because it’s hard for people to find them during earthquakes.
23．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．How to stay safe during earthquakes.
B．Why people should check their furniture.
C．How to prepare for danger before it comes.
D．What would happen in an earthquake.
24．Where does this reading probably come from

While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital world, though they still have some trouble.
Yang Su, a 61-year-old professional micro vlogger ( 专业微博博主), is among them. With more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app “Douyin”, his videos have been watched by over 1 million times.
“Three years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on ‘Douyin’, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered.
After graduating from the Shanghai Conservatory ( 乐学院) of Music, he was a pianist of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (交响乐团). The Internet has opened a door to a whole new world for him. For the past three years, he has filmed over 700 short videos and opened an official account on social platform WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons.
It’s not easy for him to learn how to film a video, something that might not be easy even for young people. Spending a long time staring at the sheet music (活 乐谱) always causes eye soreness, and he needs to play through the music since he doesn’t know how to edit (编辑) and cut clips. His child helps him a lot later. “The Internet has opened the door to a new world,” Yang said. “I always keep myself busy and feel very young at my age.”
However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps.
▲ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit organization in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction,” Luo said.
25．How did Yang become famous at first
A．By sharing articles on WeChat. B．By learning to make short videos.
C．By playing the piano on “Douyin”. D．By giving online piano lessons.
26．How did the writer show not all old people get used to the digital world
A．By telling a story. B．By using numbers.
C．By asking a question. D．By using an example.
27．Which of the following can we put in “ ▲ ”
A．In fact, many other old people have the same feeling as Ding.
B．However, many young people find it hard to teach the old to use the Internet.
C．As a result, old people have to spend much time learning to use the smartphone.
D．Luckily, younger people are building a bridge between the digital world and the old.
28．What did Luo Xu think of his work in the non-profit organization
A．Relaxing. B．Meaningful. C．Difficult. D．Boring.
29．Why did the writer write the passage
A．To tell us we should learn to make short videos like Yang.

D．To ask young people to spend more time caring for their parents.

Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会),have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose the meat with less fat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.
The Pu’er tea cream they drank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its Pu’er tea industry.
“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility（溶解度）of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”
The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.
“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said. “In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Astronauts are able to enjoy many kinds of tea in space.
B. The tea cream is reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals.
C. The astronauts showed how they drank tea after returning to the earth.
D. The technology used in the tea industry may help the astronauts drink tea.

B. The solubility of the tea should remain the same.
C. They have to use a kind of specially made tea cup.
D. There should be nothing left after the tea dissolves in water.
9. Why does Zhang consider drinking tea in space is a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry
A. He thinks it might help astronauts in space.
B. He thinks it might make Pu’er tea dissolve easily.
C. He thinks it might help improve the production of Pu’er tea.
D. He thinks it might help improve the tea industry and make Pu’er tea popular.

When the great library of Alexandria (亚历山大图书馆) burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for very little money.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of animal skin on which was written the secret of the“Touchstone (试金石)”! The touchstone was a small pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while common pebbles were cold.
So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up common pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued over a long period of time.
One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity (机会). Unless we are cautious (小心的，谨慎的), it's easy to fail to recognize(识别) an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.
10. According to the story, the touchstone_______.
A. is a big pebble B. feels cold C. is magic D. is pure gold
11. The man threw pebbles into the sea_______.
A. to test how far he could throw B. to practice throwing pebbles
C. to avoid picking up the same pebble D. to express his disappointment
12. What message does the story want to express
A. Good habits can lead to success.
B. Habits can only hold you back.
C. Opportunity prefers slow but strong mind.
D. Opportunity only visits the ready and cautious mind.
