Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities, according to research from Age UK. 71 percent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language, taking to the dance floor, or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee jumping and mountain climbing.
The new survey looks at attitudes towards later life in people aged 18 and above and has been conducted to mark the start of a new TV advertising campaign. With the positive attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting (38 percent), varied (42 percent), fun (20 percent) and satisfying (24 percent), it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop.
It features people doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and all that it can offer. This is in sharp contrast to some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slower-paced. Among those featured are a Tai Chi group, dancers, a 91-year-old bodybuilder, and an 81-year-old singing leading lady. Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK. The advertisement aims to show the different services and products that Age UK offers and how it can help people to make the most of later life.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK said, "Through our research and the exciting new TV advertisement, we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies. One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age, and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try."

Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to the research published by an American research centre.
"The research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. "It could also bring about health implications in the long run."
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal(因果关系的)—it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers(同龄人), rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analysed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the US that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings(兄弟姐妹). As teens, participants answered questions, like "How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers " As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realised and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, "but it should be."
1. What does the underlined word "implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Recipes. B. Habits. C. Benefits. D. Risks.
2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Poor health in adolescence. B. Limitations of the previous research.
C. Teens' relationships with their peers. D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.
3. What does Kim's research show
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationship leads to students' academic success.
D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
4. Where does this text probably come from
A. A health magazine. B. A medical report.
C. A term paper. D. A family survey.

I'm a teacher.
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places.
I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched(伸展开的) hand of Helen Keller.
I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen uncovering truths through countless stories.
The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame(名人堂) for humanity... Confucius, Lao-Tzu and Mencius.
I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but those lessons and character will always be remembered by their students.
Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I really have had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
I am a paradox(矛盾的人). I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my search for new opportunities for my students to use their talents.
I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun, because I am allowed to spend my days with my future. Fortunately, I am a teacher.
1. When was at teacher born according to the author
A. When a child asked a question.
B. When the youth discovered new ideas.
C. When a student knew the secrets of the universe.
D. When the truth was revealed through stories.
2. What is the goal of the author as a teacher
A. To be always remembered by his students.
B. To instruct students to find who they really are.
C. To allow students opportunities to use their talents.
D. To seek for material and spiritual materials.
3. What does the underlined word "present" in the last paragraph mean
A. Being in a place. B. The thing given as a gift.
C. The time now. D. Give something to somebody.
4. Which word can best describe the teacher in the passage
A. Stubborn. B. Grateful. C. Slack. D. Devoted.
D
"You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright. Yes, I'll do it."
I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies
1. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1
A. She knows little about the club. B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer. D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
2. What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Encourage teamwork. B. Appeal to feelings.
C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice.
3. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3
A. She gets interested in lacrosse. B. She is proud of her kids.
C. She'll work for another season. D. She becomes a good helper.
4. Why does the author like doing volunteer work
A. It gives her a sense of duty. B. It makes her very happy.
C. It enables her to work hard. D. It brings her material rewards.

Tips to Create Great Readers
Are great readers born or are they made Obviously, children don't enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. ①___________ Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
②___________ The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene(干预) with a targeted question, such as "How does this part of the text help you understand this character " Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. ③___________ For example, children can first have a discussion about what they're reading by answering a focus question in writing: "What is the author trying to teach us in this story " ④___________ By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.
Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It's a chance for children to put together everything they've learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. ⑤___________ So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.
A. Build habits at the moment of error.
B. Make sure children fall in love with reading.
C. Then, you can review their written responses.
D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.
E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.
F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.
G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.

I first played ping-pong in our basement(地下室) at home. My elder brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather. It was painted green. Although it was very simple, it served its purpose and we played on it every day. My father never really played any other sports with me, but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him. My elder brother was also a very good competitor.
When I got to university, I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room. I spent a great deal of time there, often until the midnight. There were about three or four friends that I often played against. We were all at the same skill level. One of them had ever played in a tournament (锦标赛). A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German national tournament. We took part in a tournament. My ranking (名次) is the third place, but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun. I sometimes played with other friends who didn't play ping-pong well, so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage. But before long I became so skilled with my left hand that they no longer had the advantage.
Later, I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university. I lost the competition at first. But because it was double elimination (双淘汰制), I went to the loser group. I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round. Surprisingly, I beat him 3 times and won the competition.

②句意为: 于是老师开始问他一些非常简单的问题, 希望他至少能答对一道。动词hope意为"希望", 和谓语之间没有连词, 和主语teacher构成逻辑上的主动关系, 所以应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填hoping。
③句意为: 老师摇了摇头。全文描述过去的事情, 应用一般过去时。故填shook。
④句意为: 现在告诉我一个非常非常简单的问题的答案。the answer to...意为"......的答案", 为固定搭配, 所以此处应用介词to。故填to。
⑤句意为: ......答案很快就出来了...... 修饰动词came应用副词作状语, 根据he must be the man可知, 此处是指答案很快就出来了, 所以应用副词quickly, 表示"很快地"。故填quickly。

⑦句意为: 老师有点生气, 但她没有放弃。The teacher was a little angry和she did not give up构成转折关系, 且空格后没有逗号, 所以应用连词but/yet表示转折, 意为"但是"。故填but/yet。
⑧句意为: 她想了又想, 然后想出了最简单的问题。根据前文So the teacher began to ask him some very simple questions; a very, very easy question和she did not give up可知, 前面已经问了两次简单的问题, 难度越来越低, 所以这次为了让萨姆回答出问题, 老师想出了最简单的问题, 所以此处应用形容词最高级easiest, 作定语修饰名词question。故填easiest。
⑨句意为: 我没叫你坐下。tell sb to do意为"告诉某人做某事", 为固定搭配, 此处用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to sit。
⑩句意为: 他看起来很困惑。系动词look意为"看起来", 其后成分为表语。根据"I thought you were calling on the next student."(我以为你在喊下一个学生。)可知, 此处是指萨姆看起来很困惑, 所以应用形容词puzzled, 表示"困惑的", 作表语。故填puzzled。

答案：
Paragraph 1:
Later, there was a tournament held in the city where I studied. It was a tournament for university students. Players came from all the northern universities. I felt very proud because I took part in it on behalf of my university. I believed that I could play pretty well. I expected to get a good ranking in the tournament. But in fact, I felt very nervous, because I played against a student who had won many times. I played very hard and tried my best. Although I lost the tournament, it was a good practice.
Paragraph 2:
After the tournament, I didn't often do sport because of the busy study. But I played ping-pong with my friends when I was free. I thought it was a great deal of fun to play ping pong with friends. It's also a good way to make our friendship closer and keep us healthier. We sometimes took part in a competition together, but we didn't care about winning or not. We all knew that a win was not everything. We just enjoyed playing together and had a wonderful time.
