Good morning,
I want to send you all a quick email and express my feelings about Goshen Post Elementary School this rainy Monday morning. I cannot say enough about the experiences that my kids are having at Goshen Post! It has been such an amazing start to the school year. They all come home filled with enthusiasm and excitement about what they have been doing at school and PBL that involves them.
I’d like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend—how my girls are applying what they are learning at school through a project while at home. With the very rainy Sunday they were looking for things to do. Anderson wanted to go outside and jump in the muddy puddles (小水坑)! This idea stirred Wesley, so they headed outside to play. When they came back, Wesley explained to me that they noticed the rain was flowing and filling all of the storm drains (排水管) in the street. This is where PBL comes in!
They turned this little observation into a project. The girls came up with a plan to figure out where the water was coming from, why it was flowing the way that it was, where it ended. They asked my husband and I to drive them down the street to see where it started and where it ended so that they could record this information. They then came up with their own theory, headed home and wrote about it on Wesley’s new notebook. All of this took hours, filled their afternoon, and created huge smiles on their faces and laughter between two sisters!
They have always been creative, but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative, but giving them a framework of how to do it!
Yours,
Kacy Fernstrom

Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering—built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-centurytelephonic culture—is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You-Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smartphones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Fernandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.
28. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text
A. People’s addiction to social media.
B. People’s preference for robocalls.
C. People’s growing need for privacy.
D. People’s wide range of communication choices.
29. What does the underlined word “diminished” in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Strengthened.
C. Instructed. D. Inherited.
30. What’s the advantage of a family phone
A. Gain mobility. B. Receive robocalls.
C. Send messages. D. Tie family members.
31. What does the article mainly talk about
A. The past and future of telephones.
B. The development of communication tools.
C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.
D. The relation between phone use and family bonds.
D
Scientists at University College London have discovered sets of regulatory genes, which are responsible for maintaining healthy hearing. The finding, made in fruit flies, could lead to treatments for age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in humans.
Globally, one-third of people aged over 65 experience hearing loss, and while there are thought to be more than 150 genes that may affect hearing loss, there is no unified (统一的) view on how to use these to develop hearing loss treatments.
In the study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers at the UCL Ear Institute assessed the hearing ability of the common fruit fly across its life span (around 70 days) to see if their hearing declines with age.
A fruit fly’s ears share many molecular (分子的) similarities with the ears of humans, making it an ideal tool for the study of human hearing loss.
Researchers found that the antennal ears of fruit flies also display ARHL with nearly all sensitive hearing measures starting to decline after 50 days of age. This made the researchers want to know if there were any “age-variable” genes in the flies’ inner ears which have kept the ears healthy for 50 days of their lives.
After closer examination, researchers identified a new set of regulatory genes—homeostasis genes. These genes are often responsible for picking up sound and the overall sensitivity of the ear. Using this information, scientists were then able to genetically modify (修改) the genes and prevent the flies from getting ARHL.
Professor Joerg Albert, lead author of the study, said: “While many studies have been conducted into the hearing function of fruit flies, ours is the first to look at the mechanistic and molecular detail of their auditory (听觉的) life course. The fact that these genes are conserved in humans will also help to focus future clinical research in humans and thereby accelerate the discovery of new gene-therapeutic strategies. ”
32. What did scientists at UCL discover
A. Homeostasis genes maintain one’s ability to hear.
B. There are regulatory genes that are related to aging.
C. Humans have over 150 genes that can affect hearing loss.
D. One-third of people aged over 65 have hearing problems.
33. Why were fruit flies used in the research
A. They share many genes with humans.
B. They display ARHL during their lifespan.
C. Their hearing ability also declines with age.
D. Their hearing system is similar to that of humans’.
34. What can we learn from Joerg Albert’s words
A. The reason of the study.
B. The significance of the study.
C. The discovery of new treatments.
D. The future commercial prospects.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Fruit fly: the cause of hearing loss
B. Hearing loss: a common problem for older adults
C. Gene discovery could lead to hearing loss treatments
D. The body’s ability can be unlocked to treat lost hearing

On Us TV shows, you may sometimes see rubber balls on people’s desks. These balls are known as “stress relief balls”. People can squeeze them when they feel stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.
___36___Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.
In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China. ___37___ By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), people started rolling walnuts in their hands. Ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands. ___38___
And today, we have many gadgets (小器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). ___39___ You just spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.
___40___ But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping,” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.
A. This helped them relax as well.
B. These gadgets may look like simple toys.
C. It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.
D. This is the only way to ease away your tension.
E. Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people.
F. A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.
G. Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress.

Mateo, a seven-year-old boy, was very interested after seeing the wooden box on the sidewalk. The sign on the front said “Little Free Library”. Luisa, Mateo’s older sister, told him that people build boxes and put books inside so other people can take books they want and add ones they’ve already read.
The idea excited Mateo and he decided to make his own so kids could trade books. But Luisa was worried that kids may not notice it. Mateo wanted to have a try anyway, and he asked Luisa to help him. Luisa agreed and went to Papa for tools, while Mateo ran inside to collect books.
With Papa’s help, they built a wooden box. They put a door on it and attached the box to a post. Then they dug a hole in their front yard and stuck the post into the hole. Mateo arranged the books inside the box and closed the door. “Now I just have to wait,” he said.
Mateo ran outside three times that day to check. But each time, his books were the only ones inside. For the next few days, Mateo kept checking the box, but his books were still there.
“No kids noticed it and no one wants to trade books,” Mateo said in low spirits, kicking at the pebbles in the path.
“I know you really wanted your idea to work, Mateo,” Luisa comforted him. “I’m sorry it didn’t.”
The next two days, Mateo didn’t check the box. Luisa went to his room to encourage him to take a look in case someone decided to trade, but Mateo refused and buried himself in the sheets. Reading his frustration, Luisa let out a sigh and walked out of the room.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

My Dream Career
When it comes to choosing an ideal career, people’s opinions may vary from person to person. As for me, I’ve dreamed to be a doctor since I was young. My reasons go as follows.
For one thing, if I were a doctor, I could make use of what I have learned to relieve patients’ pains and even save their lives. For another, I have always shown great interest in Chinese medicine, which features magic power to heal diseases and less side effects on patients. With regard to the preparation, I will make every effort to be admitted to a medical college, recovering the value of Chinese medicine.
Of course, the pursuit of being a doctor is not easy. Challenging as it is, I do believe I can make it since nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Mateo dragged himself from upstairs and trudged down (费力地走) the walkway to the box. Hopeless and frustrated, he unwillingly and slowly opened the door. Mateo couldn’t believe his eyes. In the box lay lots of new books while his books were gone. The happy boy jumped up and down, clapped his hands and exclaimed, “It worked! My little library worked!” “But how did it work ” Mateo wondered, deciding to figure out who had helped him.
Finally, his chance came when Mateo saw his next-door neighbor Julianne walking up to the box with two books. Mateo asked Julianne how she had heard about the library. It turned out that his sister Luisa had visited all the older kids in the neighborhood and asked them to tell their younger sisters and brothers about the little library. Julianne’s answer moved Mateo to tears. As Mateo looked back, his eyes were greeted with a big smile from Luisa, who stood by the front door watching him. “I’m so lucky to have new books to read and even luckier to have an awesome sister!”

Good morning,
I want to send you all a quick email and express my feelings about Goshen Post Elementary School this rainy Monday morning. I cannot say enough about the experiences that my kids are having at Goshen Post! It has been such an amazing start to the school year. They all come home filled with enthusiasm and excitement about what they have been doing at school and PBL that involves them.
I’d like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend—how my girls are applying what they are learning at school through a project while at home. With the very rainy Sunday they were looking for things to do. Anderson wanted to go outside and jump in the muddy puddles (小水坑)! This idea stirred Wesley, so they headed outside to play. When they came back, Wesley explained to me that they noticed the rain was flowing and filling all of the storm drains (排水管) in the street. This is where PBL comes in!
They turned this little observation into a project. The girls came up with a plan to figure out where the water was coming from, why it was flowing the way that it was, where it ended. They asked my husband and I to drive them down the street to see where it started and where it ended so that they could record this information. They then came up with their own theory, headed home and wrote about it on Wesley’s new notebook. All of this took hours, filled their afternoon, and created huge smiles on their faces and laughter between two sisters!
They have always been creative, but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative, but giving them a framework of how to do it!
Yours,
Kacy Fernstrom

Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering—built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-centurytelephonic culture—is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You-Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smartphones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Fernandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.
28. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text
A. People’s addiction to social media.
B. People’s preference for robocalls.
C. People’s growing need for privacy.
D. People’s wide range of communication choices.
29. What does the underlined word “diminished” in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Strengthened.
C. Instructed. D. Inherited.
30. What’s the advantage of a family phone
A. Gain mobility. B. Receive robocalls.
C. Send messages. D. Tie family members.
31. What does the article mainly talk about
A. The past and future of telephones.
B. The development of communication tools.
C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.
D. The relation between phone use and family bonds.
D
Scientists at University College London have discovered sets of regulatory genes, which are responsible for maintaining healthy hearing. The finding, made in fruit flies, could lead to treatments for age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in humans.
Globally, one-third of people aged over 65 experience hearing loss, and while there are thought to be more than 150 genes that may affect hearing loss, there is no unified (统一的) view on how to use these to develop hearing loss treatments.
In the study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers at the UCL Ear Institute assessed the hearing ability of the common fruit fly across its life span (around 70 days) to see if their hearing declines with age.
A fruit fly’s ears share many molecular (分子的) similarities with the ears of humans, making it an ideal tool for the study of human hearing loss.
Researchers found that the antennal ears of fruit flies also display ARHL with nearly all sensitive hearing measures starting to decline after 50 days of age. This made the researchers want to know if there were any “age-variable” genes in the flies’ inner ears which have kept the ears healthy for 50 days of their lives.
After closer examination, researchers identified a new set of regulatory genes—homeostasis genes. These genes are often responsible for picking up sound and the overall sensitivity of the ear. Using this information, scientists were then able to genetically modify (修改) the genes and prevent the flies from getting ARHL.
Professor Joerg Albert, lead author of the study, said: “While many studies have been conducted into the hearing function of fruit flies, ours is the first to look at the mechanistic and molecular detail of their auditory (听觉的) life course. The fact that these genes are conserved in humans will also help to focus future clinical research in humans and thereby accelerate the discovery of new gene-therapeutic strategies. ”
32. What did scientists at UCL discover
A. Homeostasis genes maintain one’s ability to hear.
B. There are regulatory genes that are related to aging.
C. Humans have over 150 genes that can affect hearing loss.
D. One-third of people aged over 65 have hearing problems.
33. Why were fruit flies used in the research
A. They share many genes with humans.
B. They display ARHL during their lifespan.
C. Their hearing ability also declines with age.
D. Their hearing system is similar to that of humans’.
34. What can we learn from Joerg Albert’s words
A. The reason of the study.
B. The significance of the study.
C. The discovery of new treatments.
D. The future commercial prospects.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Fruit fly: the cause of hearing loss
B. Hearing loss: a common problem for older adults
C. Gene discovery could lead to hearing loss treatments
D. The body’s ability can be unlocked to treat lost hearing

On Us TV shows, you may sometimes see rubber balls on people’s desks. These balls are known as “stress relief balls”. People can squeeze them when they feel stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.
___36___Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.
In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China. ___37___ By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), people started rolling walnuts in their hands.

And today, we have many gadgets (小器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). ___39___ You just spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.
___40___ But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping,” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.
A. This helped them relax as well.
B. These gadgets may look like simple toys.
C. It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.
D. This is the only way to ease away your tension.
E. Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people.
F. A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.
G. Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress.

Mateo, a seven-year-old boy, was very interested after seeing the wooden box on the sidewalk. The sign on the front said “Little Free Library”. Luisa, Mateo’s older sister, told him that people build boxes and put books inside so other people can take books they want and add ones they’ve already read.
The idea excited Mateo and he decided to make his own so kids could trade books. But Luisa was worried that kids may not notice it. Mateo wanted to have a try anyway, and he asked Luisa to help him. Luisa agreed and went to Papa for tools, while Mateo ran inside to collect books.
With Papa’s help, they built a wooden box. They put a door on it and attached the box to a post. Then they dug a hole in their front yard and stuck the post into the hole. Mateo arranged the books inside the box and closed the door. “Now I just have to wait,” he said.
Mateo ran outside three times that day to check. But each time, his books were the only ones inside. For the next few days, Mateo kept checking the box, but his books were still there.
“No kids noticed it and no one wants to trade books,” Mateo said in low spirits, kicking at the pebbles in the path.
“I know you really wanted your idea to work, Mateo,” Luisa comforted him. “I’m sorry it didn’t.”
The next two days, Mateo didn’t check the box. Luisa went to his room to encourage him to take a look in case someone decided to trade, but Mateo refused and buried himself in the sheets. Reading his frustration, Luisa let out a sigh and walked out of the room.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

My Dream Career
When it comes to choosing an ideal career, people’s opinions may vary from person to person. As for me, I’ve dreamed to be a doctor since I was young. My reasons go as follows.
For one thing, if I were a doctor, I could make use of what I have learned to relieve patients’ pains and even save their lives.
