The Beijing 2022 Winter
Olympics has already come to an end, and Chinese athletes (运动员) have
made great achievements. But how will the stadiums (场馆)
be used after the Olympics
The designers have already
considered that question in their designs (设计). The plan is to let the
stadiums serve common people and increase their interest in winter sports. Just
as one of the designers of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics said, " The
stadiums can not only serve professional athletes in the games, but also serve
the public after the games. "
For example, the
professional ice race lanes (车道) for athletes are 121 meters
high and are not fit for amateurs. So the National Ski and Sleigh
Center has kept a special lane for common sport-lovers. The height of the lane
is about 40 meters. This can make sure they will stay safe.
The National Ski Jumping
Center in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province will continue being open to the public
for skiing in winter and jogging in summer. In fact, people can make use of the
stadiums all year round. On the top of the center, people can walk and enjoy
the beautiful scenery. There is also a standard football field that can hold 6,
000 people. Even concerts and cultural fairs can be held there as well.
Time will tell whether the
stadiums can be really made good use of after, the Olympic Games. In China, 300
million people have already taken part in ice and snow sports because of the
Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Hopefully, that number will continue to rise with
plans like these. After all, snow and ice sports belong not only to talented
professional athletes, but also to everyone interested in them.
1．The underlined word " amateurs " in Paragraph 3 probably refers to people who ______.
A．design the stadiums B．compete in the Olympics

When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX
designer（设计师）, they both went silent. "In
fact, I had no idea what he was talking about, "said Anne, his mother,
"I didn't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer
programs or a fancy brand of bike."
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about "behind
the scenes" online design, his mother was still a bit lost. "I felt
like I had totally failed as a parent, "she said. "My job as a parent
is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential（潜力）, but how can I do that when I don't even understand what their
dreams are？"

Research has found that more than 2/3 of
parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express
interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them.
More than 75% of parents felt it is almost impossible to offer their
children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
"Michele Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school
students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children
would just stop talking about their career（职业）plans
at home, simply because their mum and dad could hardly follow them. "We
all know that parents' opinions and suggestions pay an important role in
shaping and influencing their children's career dreams, "she said.
"But we usually spend much on our own experiences. And things have changed
so much since most of us were at school. "
Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome
Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should
not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
4．What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne
A．Become a great UX designer. B．Do an excellent job online.

①Have you ever shown your photos on
your favorite social media （媒体） Or have you expressed your feelings and emotions on your online
page If yes, do you know what you have posted on the social medias can cause
problems you could not expect
②Cathy, who is going to be fifteen,
posted online an invitation to her birthday party with her address in it. And
guess what! 500 people came to the party, and some even broke the windows and
plants, making a total mess of the house. The girl's birthday party turned into
a nightmare （噩梦）.
③Many teenagers （青少年）think they know everything about
social media, and that such a thing could never happen to them. Studies show
that each year more than three million young people in the world get into
trouble because of their online activities.
④So do remember these if you really
want to share something online.
⑤Share with care! Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post
anything. You never know who sees your texts, pictures or videos. Before
clicking "post", you should ask yourself, "How will I feel if my
family or teachers see this " and "How might this post be bad for me
in five or ten years from now "
⑥Be polite when you write! Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. The same is true of
online communication. No one likes it when you "shout" in your
messages. If you feel angry or frustrated while you're writing a message, wait
a bit. Read it again later and then send it.
⑦Protect and respect!Never share your passwords with anyone.
It's not wise to post your home or email address online. Don't say bad things
about people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to your
parents or your teachers.
⑧ I'd say none of these things promises 100% online
safety, but each will help you to be safer.

Have you ever thought of what life is like for old people Have you ever helped old people who live alone Can they get help when they need it
Six students from Beijing 101 Middle School looked deeper at this question and wrote a proposal (提案) to the China Youth Model Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国青少年模拟政协活动). They advised to build more old people's service stations in the neighborhood. They also gave suggestions about how governments, neighborhoods and hospitals can work together to make this happen.
An old people's service station is different from a nursing home. It offers things like daytime care, cooking, cleaning and friendship to old people who live in their own homes. The students surveyed more than 1, 100 people, about 90 percent of them said they would prefer using the stations' services to moving into a nursing home. However, there are not enough of these stations, and many are not run very well.
The six students came up with a solution after reading more than 60 surveys, interviewing 108 people and visiting 25 different organizations. Their proposal beat out almost 100 others to win the Best Proposal award (奖项) in 2021.
"This experience helps me to better understand the importance of caring old people. Also I see the light and abilities in us, "said Xu Wanqing, one of the students.
"Taking part in the China Youth Model CPPCC has been good for students," agreed their teacher Li Jie. "They've developed a sense of caring old people, as well as gotten more confidence about themselves since they've seen how much they can do for others. "

A Pathway (路径) to Meaning in Life
When
it comes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. A
life filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what
makes a meaningful life
Many
researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): having long-term goals, believing that one's life matters, and
feeling that one's life fits together and "makes sense".
But
we believe there is more to consider. Sometimes life enables us to experience
small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating (欣赏) such experiences, these moments may improve how they see their own
life. We call this experiential appreciation (EA). EA is about the person
feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the
connection. It shows the discovery of and admiration for life's beauty.
We
recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in
whether EA was also tied to general judgment of meaning in life. If so, it
could be a factor for meaningfulness.
In
the first study, we had people rate (评估)
their support for different methods of reducing stress. We found that people
who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life's beauty also
reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.
In
the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with
various statements, such as "I appreciate the beauty of life" and "I
appreciate little things in life," as well as other statements that
related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our
results showed that the more people reported that they were "appreciating
life" and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was
valuable.
In
the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and
meaningfulness. For example, we found that people who were asked to look back
on the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high EA in
those moments.
All
the results proved our theory (假设) true.
But putting it into practice can be difficult. Our fast-paced lifestyles fill
the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare
time. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is
happening right now. We should slow down and let life surprise us.
17．You were most probably in the EA condition when _________.
A．you made a travel plan for the coming holiday
B．you hurried to serve the customers in the store
C．you practiced hard to become the best violinist
D．you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside
18．What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage
A．Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.
B．Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.
C．Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.
D．Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people.
19．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．It is easier for results-driven people to achieve success.
B．We often turn a blind eye to the present moment.
C．A fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals.
D．Future life will bring us many more surprises.
20．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A．To explain how to discover beauty in life.
B．To discuss what the true meaning of life is.
C．To introduce a new factor for a meaningful life.
D．To compare different factors for meaningfulness.

In
today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are
harmful to people's health. However, not all people know that noise is also a
kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.
People
who work and live in noisy conditions usually become deaf. Many workers who
print newspapers and books become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports
also become deaf.
Recently
it was discovered that many American children's hearing is as bad as
65-year-old people's, for these children like to listen to pop music and most
pop music is noisy. Besides, noise produced by planes or machines will make
people's life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or drive them
mad.
Now
the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise. In China,
the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but
also noise pollution problems.
21．Everyone
knows noise is a kind of pollution.
22．If
one works and lives in noisy conditions, he/she usually becomes deaf.
23．Many
American children have very bad hearing.
24．Noise
can make people live a difficult life but can't drive them mad.
25．The
Chinese government is trying to solve air, water and noise pollution problems.
