We feel angry or guilty (内疚的) about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and etc. It seems that everyone carries their own bad feelings. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.
These bad feelings aren’t good for us at all. So you might ask yourself——is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a rest It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down Can we live without them
By thinking about our bad feelings, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. Instead, there are better ways to deal with them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad feelings inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can put down our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life.
( ) 3. What is one way to deal with bad feelings
A. Keeping bad feelings inside. B. Forgetting the past.
C. Forgiving ourselves and others. D. Finding good feelings.
( ) 4. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to become an energetic person.
B. How to deal with bad feelings.
C. Why we should forget about forgiveness.
D. What we should do to forgive our own mistakes.

Once upon a time, two brothers lived in a village. They were both farmers and grew corn. The elder brother had many children to feed. The younger brother also had a big family to look after. Although the brothers were poor, they lived happily.
One year, there was a drought(干旱) and the corn didn't grow well. The two brothers collected their small harvest and stored the grain in their barns(谷仓).
That night, the elder brother couldn't sleep. He was worried about his brother. Would he have enough grain to feed his family At last, the elder brother got out of bed. He went to his barn and filled a bag with grain. Then he went silently to his brother's house and secretly added the grain to his brother's pile(堆).
Every night, he did the same thing. He took some of his own grain and added it to his brother's store. But after a while, he noticed something strange. His pile of grain never looked smaller in the morning.
One night, he decided to find out why. After it had got dark, he hid near his barn and watched. At last, a man came near with his own bag of grain. At first he didn't know who he was. Then, he was amazed to see his own brother. Every night the younger brother had done the same thing—taking grain from his own pile to give to his brother.
It was true brotherly love!

It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague(模糊的)figure to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.
When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was still busy with his work. This hurt me most. At that moment, I thought my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.
But things seemed different. I would give a speech at my high school graduation ceremony (毕业典礼). My father, once again, couldn't attend it because he had a business trip in a place outside the city. “Don't come. I will be nervous ifI see you. ”I told him.
I remember my speech was a success. After the ceremony, I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. “Well done. ”he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.
Later I knew that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He sat in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.
For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was clearly not true. At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive(感知)the world with our hearts and minds. Life is full of love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.
( ) 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

A. she gave a speech successfully
B. the graduation ceremony was over
C. she was so nervous that she couldn't help crying
D. she was touched to find her father cared about her
( ) 11. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to (指代)?
A. That my father sat in the corner of the hall.
B. That my father was a cold-blooded man.
C. That my father was always doing projects.
D. That my father's eyes were filled with tears.

七、阅读表达(共3小题;各小题分别为1、2、3分;满分6分)
Children may stop putting coins in piggy banks(存钱罐) for much longer, with the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital(数字化).
To reflect this trend, a number of mobile budget(理财) apps aimed at children have come out around the world, such as GoHenry, Gimi and Osper.
These apps offer a simple money management service for children, often for a monthly service fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children's accounts. Then children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card that works like a bank card.
The companies behind the apps argue that the society is going to be cashless; they can be a valuable way of teaching young children about money.
According to a survey, one in four teenagers can't make even simple decisions on everyday spending. These apps aim to overcome this, helping to teach children to learn about budget.
One concern rs that introducing digital money apps to young children could help to encourage bad spending habits. However, most people believe the app can teach children good spending habits, whereas schools tend to focus more on economic theory. Philip Haglund, CEO of Gimi, says children are protected from this as parents can monitor(监管) their spending habits and none of the services offer an overdraft(透支) so children cannot go into debt.
"Plus, it is important for kids to learn and make mistakes," says. Haglund. If children are going to make a mistake of 10 pounds at 8, it's better than making a mistake of l,000 pounds when children are 28.
根据短文内容回答下列各题。
1.Why may children stop saving coins in piggy banks

How often does the money management service need to be paid

Do you think it's a good idea to introduce digital money apps to young children Why or why not

Great Changes in My Hometown
In recent years, great changes have taken place in my hometown. I have experienced the changes myself.
Three years ago, there were fewer flowers or trees here. The river was dirty and smelt terrible because some factories poured the waste water into the river. We didn't dare to drink the water any more.
But now everything has changed a lot. The flowers and trees are here and there. The air is fresh and the water is clean. And you can see bees and butterflies dance. Most of the people have realized the importance of protecting the environment. To save energy and reduce air pollution, they often walk or ride bikes to work instead of driving cars.
Now people are living a comfortable life.
