What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I'd been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7：00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn't love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn't stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends.He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good
and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they're close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond (超过) this_number, _Dunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”，try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
25．What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A．The number of friends you should have.
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C．Some social skills you may need at work.
D．Some useful advice on how to make friends.
26．According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A．are likely to spend more money
B．may not be as popular at work
C．seem to get better paid jobs
D．will work harder in later years
27. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．10. B．35.
C．100. D．150.
28．What does the text mainly want to show
A．You need to spend more time with your friends.
B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C．Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D．It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends.

Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept. 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her 26 months of non stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing treatment.
I was never able to do much, and that's what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience, asking their mom and dad, “When are we leaving When can I play with my friends？” So I decided I have to help them.
In February, 2017 Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.
Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me，” she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through.” Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.
Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hopes her bracelets will make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, how you act, you can make a difference！” she said.
29．What happened to Becca at the end of 2016
A．She recovered from cancer.
B．She created an organization.
C．She raised a lot of money.
D．She was helped by a company.
30．What do we know about Becca's father
A．He showed Becca a famous motto.
B．He fought off cancer successfully.
C．He advised Becca to forget her pain.
D．He named the company Knots and Arrows.
31．Which of the following words can best describe Becca
A．Brave. B．Creative.
C．Caring. D．Clever.
32．In Becca's opinion, what's the meaning of her bracelets
A．To tell us having a motto is important.
B．To prove cancer can be got over successfully.
C．To show there's always someone who needs help.
D．To make us realize everyone can make a difference.
D
Kids and science seem to be made for each other!
The basic science is a combination of thought and experiment called the scientific method. It's where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.
One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW！” of a great science showing.
Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example,one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language — math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.
Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation (一代) of voters, creators, and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.
33．According to Paragraph 2, what does learning the scientific method mean to kids
A．Refusing any ideas that are not logical.
B．Helping them develop thinking skills.
C．Learning many areas of study.
D．Learning to do experiments.
34．If a child works hard at science at school, he/she _______.
A．usually loses interest in other activities
B．usually has no time for other subjects
C．is usually bad at such subjects like history
D．is likely to learn many other subjects well
35．What is the text mainly about
A．Why science is important.
B．Why kids should learn science.
C．What kids should learn at school.
D．How kids can make use of science.

No personal success，achievement，or goal，can be realized without self-discipline． 36 It is the ability to control one’s impulses , emotions , desires and behavior．To possess it is to be able to make the decisions，take the actions，and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles，discomfort，or difficulties，that may come your way．

● 40 Michael Jordan has always maintained that his greatness as a basketball player came as much from his willingness to work hard at his craft，as it did his talent．It was his desire through discipline and focus that made him one of the best basketball players ever．If it worked for him，it could certainly work for the rest of us．

Mrs. Li is a beautiful young lady, enthusiastic and full of energy. Now I know that she is a really wonderful teacher. She explains everything clearly and is very patient with us.
