The new year is an excellent time to reflect on your accomplishments and your disappointments at about the halfway point in the school year, as well as to plan how you will improve in the future.
Reflect on your first school term: Honestly review your school year thus far. List your classes and your grades in each. What did not go as well as expected Such as, exams you scored poorly on, projects you rushed through and long-term goals you did not meet. Revisit those plans you may have made related to selecting after-class activities or maximizing your senior year.
Be positive: As you are working on your list, remember to highlight(强调)the positives. Honesty is more than just telling the hard truths—it is also offering proper praise. Include your high grades and impressive test results on your list as well. Remember that excellence is not a result, but a process. As you are recording your accomplishments, list the times when you made significant progress. Note the projects you started on time, the papers you outlined before you wrote and the study plans you followed.
Set new goals: Television shows sometimes reflect a world view that suggests success comes from a few weeks of competition rather than a lifetime of' hard work and devotion. In truth, success in life is largely a result of continual small improvements that finally lead to great changes. With this in mind, make a short list of areas or tasks you wish to improve upon in the coming year. Keeping your list short is important, as creating too many goals can become overwhelming(压倒一切的).
Build on strengths: Include your strengths when you set goals. If you did well in algebra last year, determine to do just as well in geometry or calculus this year. If you submitted all your assignments(作业)on time, resolve to finish your work a day earlier in order to allow for editing. Successful people build on their strengths to reach true excellence.
24.When we reflect on what didn’t go as well as expected, we should be .
A.focused B.modest C. specific D.measurable
25.What should we do while we are making our list
A.Remember to sense the hardship only.
B.Remember that excellence is a result.
C.Remember that high grades are necessary.
D.Remember to praise ourselves properly.
26.What do television shows convey to the viewers at times
A.Success lies in failures one after another.
B.Success lies in a few weeks of competition.
C.Success is a result of a lifetime of hard work.
D.Success is from constant small improvements.
27.What is the right thing to do according to the passage
A.Build on our weak points to reach success.
B.Keep our list as short as possible to keep motivated.
C.Finish our assignment a day earlier in order to allow for editing.
D.Highlight our positives as well as negatives while making a list.

The Meta company has announced a research project to create translation software that works for everyone in the world. It's part of a growing effort to serve almost 20 percent of the world's population who do not speak languages covered by present translation systems. "Properly understanding one foreign language is hard enough, let alone so many different languages in the world," said Scott Mann, the co-CEO of Flawless AI. "Nowadays, the only way to do translation has been to turn to human translators who have learned foreign languages and try to bridge language barriers (障碍)for different uses."
Work on improving translation software has been underway for decades.
New technology has been developed to ensure accurate translations from one language to another. Meta is planning a long-term effort to build MT(machine translation) tools that will include most of the world's languages.The company is building a new AI model called No Language Left Behind.It will learn from languages with examples and use them to enable expert quality translations in hundreds of languages.
“Breaking language barriers would be great, making it possible for billions of people to have information online in their native or preferred languages,” the Meta company said, “Advances in MT tools won’t just help those people who don’t speak one of the languages that are widely used on the Internet today; they’ll also change the way people in the world share ideas. Better translation software also make good business sense. When companies go global, it’s hard to have native-speaking support agents for every language. So if the translation software can help them chat with and email their customers, the efficiency(效率) can be immediately improved.”
But some experts say that Meta’s machine translation project faces great difficulties. “The industry is still in the research mode, and we’ve excited to be a part of that, but it’s not about presenting a product that eight billion people will start using tomorrow,” said Jesse Shemen, the CEO of the translation software company.
What do Scott Mann’s words mainly suggest
The influence of present translation systems.
The necessity of developing translation software.
The importance of human translators nowadays.
The difficulty in learning different languages.
What is a feature of Meta’s new AI model
It allows excellent translation in a variety of languages.
It adjusts its translation speed accordingly.
It is mainly designed for advanced language learners.
It is limited to common languages worldwide.
What does the Meta company say about MT tools
They make language learning easy and interesting.
They quicken the development of language software.
They help people show good manners in communication.
They benefit both personal and business lives.
What is Jesse Shemen’s attitude toward the translation software
Critical B. Pessimistic C. Uncertain D. Negative
D
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers(青少年). But last summer,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut, Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year old daughter. "She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk, " said Mark."Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list, " said Michael Riera. author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “ This completely changes during the teen years, "Riera explained. " They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. "
Parents who know what's going on in their teenage lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
32. "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_____________
A. is always busy with his studies
B. doesn’t want to be disturbed
C. keeps himself away from his parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
33. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that_____________
A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B. they can't read their daughters mind exactly
C. they don't know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
34. Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence"in the last paragraph
A. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents
B. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends
C. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives
35. What can be learned from the passage
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers

Anxiety and depression are complex conditions. But can everyone benefit from learning how to care for their mind 36 .
Self-Compassion(自我关怀)
37. . This can include feelings like you must be perfect to be accepted or an unrealistic sense of others’ expectations. The answer to perfectionism
isn’t letting it all go—it’s self-compassion, which means you are kind and understanding when faced with personal failures—after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect How we treat ourselves through the ups and downs of life can have a huge impact on physical health and mental health.
Social Connections
From the time we are born, we need social connections in order to grow and succeed. 38. .

“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles ”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me,” she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing. I’ll treat you today,” the owner said, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly,
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless(残忍的,无慈悲心的) compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your thanks to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock. She remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

Dear Li Hua,
I am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble in learning English. However, the situation is so easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips for you.
Firstly, words play an important part in improving your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. So you should remember words every day. Secondly, practice makes perfect. The best way to learn English well, I think, is to learn and use English at the same time. The most important of all, interest is the best teacher. Find happy ways to learn it, such as, reading more English storybooks or novels, watching more English cartoon TVs or movies, and so on.
I do hope my suggestions may be of great help to you.
Sincerely yours,
Mr Smith

Version 1
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be ” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I've been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms. “Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for what you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently.
Version 2
Paragraph 1
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. She felt a little nervous, but she opened the door at last. “Mom, mom.” She said weakly. However, nobody answered. She couldn't find her mother anywhere at home. She thought: “My mother bad left me!” At that time, she couldn't help crying. She thought of the things her mother did for her. For example, her mother cooked for her, looked after her, washed her clothes and so on. She regretted very much now.
Paragraph 2
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. “Oh! My baby, you had come back. I went out to find you. Are you crying What happened ” Her mother said. She looked at the familiar face and smiled. She hugged her mother and said: “Mom, I’m so sorry. I should make an apology for my rudeness to you. I shouldn't quarrel with you. Mom, I love you. Thanks for all you did for me.” “I’m very happy that you can understand me. My dear, I love you forever.” Her mother said warmly. On that afternoon, she grew up.

I was staying at a friend's small wooden house.One day,I went hunting at dawn with his dog.I had been at his house for a few days and thought I had got a good knowledge of the local area.But at about8 am,I realized I was lost in the forest.There was no cellphone coverage.I had no equipment to guide me,and the sky was covered with clouds.I felt frightened and wandered around aimlessly for another hour looking for a familiar landmark,but I was getting nowhere.Being hopeless,I turned to the dog and said,"Let's go home!It's time to eat!"The dog turned around and began torn quickly.I followed him.Fifteen minutes later,we were back at my friend's house.I still remember how happy I was once I knew I was safe.Now I never go into the woods without enough equipment,and I always let someone know where I'm going and when I expect to return.And yes,the dog ate very well that day.
