What would you do if you felt anxious (焦虑的) Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called “Healing (治愈) Hearts” to help people deal with anxiety.
The idea of founding the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.
Dinah Martinez always did well in school. “But then I just started to collapse (崩溃),” Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.
Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. “It was a lot of pressure I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing,” she said.
The girls’ camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.
The “Healing Hearts” camp was set up to “help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that’s when they are the most vulnerable (脆弱的),” Janet Martinez said.
On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation (调节).
“It’s good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out,” Dinah Martinez said.

Audience Etiquette During Sports Games
Many people would like to watch sports games. First, you need to know about audience etiquette (观众礼仪) .
Most sports games have rules for the audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize (批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words and behavior, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Clapping (鼓掌) is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help encourage them. Clapping is not welcome, however, when players need to keep their attention.
Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoy gymnastics (体操) silently. But lots of cheers can help basketball and football players. When you watch table tennis games, flash is not allowed. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.
To behave well, you should spend time learning the game rules and related culture of each event.

我国首次立法保护长江，现有一则有关立长江保护法的新闻，请根据新闻内容完成下面的信息卡，每空限填一词。
You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. It is the world’s third-longest river and covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On Dec. 26, 2020, Chinese government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which took effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, due to overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese Paddlefish (白鲟) has died out after keeping alive for 150 million years. There’s more and more land becoming desert and land pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai province, Xinhua reported.

___26___ of the Law passed on December 26, 2020; took effect on March 1, 2021

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or to your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.
However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more before hand.
On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life.
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should spend some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.

“USA Britain Which country is better to study in ” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth
We know that there are many famous people who get success in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried.
“Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.”
“He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him ”
“We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe.
As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room.
Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves ”
“Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted.
Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious.
After Erin went for sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted.
“He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us ”
“Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested.
The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket.
The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.”
The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there, ▲ .
Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say… Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.”
Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin.
“Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you. Really hope you can forgive us for everything we did,” Mr. Joe said.
Erin refused the scarf with a smile. “It has always been for you. Please keep it. Just want you to know that people change.”

_____________________________________________________________________
Paris was besieged by Prussians. Walking along the road, Morissot suddenly came face to face with Sauvage, his fishing friend.
Before the war, Morissot and Sauvage had been in the habit of fishing every Sunday morning in Marante, a small town near Paris. They enjoyed every moment they spent there.
As soon as they recognized each other, they shook hands excitedly. And then they walked along, side by side, thoughtful and sad.
“And to think of the fishing!” said Morissot, “What good times we used to have!”
“Suppose we go to the old place I know a colonel, and we shall easily leave Paris and return before night falls,” suggested Sauvage.
With the password from the colonel, they passed the outposts and made their way through empty and lifeless villages, and finally arrived at Marante.
Sauvage, pointing to a mountain not far away, said, “the Prussians are over there!”
The Prussians! They had never seen them, but they had heard what terrible things the Prussians had done—burning, killing, starving French people, destroying their dreams and happiness. It was painful to see their motherland and their life under such situations. The two friends felt a kind of strong enmity toward the Prussians.
Before fishing, Morissot placed his ear to the ground, to make sure whether footsteps were coming their way. He heard nothing. They began to fish. They caught one fish after another, and they were filled with joy.
But they suddenly trembled with alarm at the sound of footsteps behind them, and, turning round, they found Prussian soldiers with guns.
A Prussian officer smiled, “In my eyes, you are spies, pretending to fish here. I’ll kill you. As you came here through the outposts, you must have a password for your return. Tell me that password and I will let you go.”
The two, pale as death, stood silently side by side, hands shaking.
“If you refuse, it means death!”
They stood still, and said nothing.
The officer went over to Morissot, and said in a low voice, “Quick! The password! Your friend will know nothing.”
Morissot answered not a word.
Then the officer took Sauvage aside and made him the same proposal.
Sauvage made no reply.
Again, they stood side by side. They shook hands, trembling from head to foot.
“Fire!”
44．The two friends went to Marante again to ________.
A．run away from Paris B．visit some fishing friends
C．enjoy their old happy life D．collect information as spies
45．The underlined word “enmity” means “________”.
A．hate B．doubt C．sadness D．disappointment
46．Which can we infer from the passage
A．Prussian soldiers finally entered Paris successfully.
B．The French outpost allowed entry with a password.
C．The Prussian officer wanted to set one of them free.
D．Morissot and Sauvage didn’t know the password back home.
47．Why did the two friends keep silent when they were asked about the password （请用约40词回答）

At 3 o’clock in the morning, the church bell rang three times. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and knocked at the door. Having volunteered as the baker’s assistant for one day, I hoped to find out the secrets of French bread baking.
“Be here at 3 o’clock,” Monsieur finally agreed.
So here I was. Monsieur poured me some hot chocolate and went to check on the wood-fire oven.
As the church bell struck 4 a.m., I lost my name as if by magic and became Fiston, which meant “boy” in French. Whenever I heard it, I knew an order was sure to follow:
“Fiston, carry the bags of flour...”
“Fiston.”
The sourdough bread, shaped the night before, had been rising for 12 hours. “They need enough time to get ready to be baked,” Monsieur told me.
There was no modem equipment, not even a thermometer. Monsieur just put one of his hands into the oven. “If you can just keep your hand in the oven to the count of five, the temperature is right.” he explained.
We placed the bread into the oven. The bread was baked to golden brown.
“Faster! Take the bread out before it is too dark.”
“If you have done it for millions of times like me, you will know the best time to get it out," he added.
By 6 a.m., the bread was baked and moved to the front of the bakery and it was open for business an hour later.
It was hot and sweat broke out on my forehead. With an encouraging smile Monsieur said, “ I’d like you to meet Popine, my best friend.” Like a farmer who names his cows, Monsieur’s sourdough starter had a name, passed down from his great grandfather.
“Say hello,” he bellowed at me.
“Hello, Popine,” I said, a bit strange about talking to a piece of sourdough.
“Get to know her. Smell it. Any more sour than that and you must feed her again to keep the sourness in check. That way, the bread always has the best taste."
We mixed her with flour, salt, and water to form the next day’s bread dough together.
When the church bell rang six times, all I wanted was to go home and sleep.
“Fiston, wait!” Monsieur pressed a piece of his Popine into my hand.“Feed her with what exactly she needs, and she will teach you everything,” Monsieur said confidently.
Monsieur was right. For the last few years, I have started every day with her.
“Hello, Popine,” I say, pouring myself a bowl of hot chocolate at 3 o’clock in the morning.
48．The underlined word “thermometer” in the passage is a tool that can ____________.
A．bake bread B．test temperatures
C．mix sourdough D．make hot chocolate
49．According to the passage, how long did the writer work in Monsieur’s bakery that day
A．For three hours. B．For nine hours.
C．For fourteen hours. D．For fifteen hours.
50．What can we infer from the passage
A．The writer’s real name was Fiston.
B．Monsieur refused to share the secrets.
C．The writer preferred to do a relaxing job.
D．Monsieur was humorous and experienced.
51．What do you think were Monsieur’s secrets of bread baking (请用约40词回答)
__________________________________________
In late 2012, when I was finishing my tour in Iraq as a Marine Corps officer, my parents provided a vacation as a Christmas gift, anywhere I wanted to go. “London,” I said. They seemed a bit surprised: I grew up there. Why didn’t I choose a foreign place I told them I wanted to go somewhere cold and wet after seven weeks in the desert. At that time this made sense, but 10 years later, I’ve realized I wanted to return for a different reason: Southbank.
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London, on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place, until I made a discovery.
Southbank, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing, is the center of British skateboarding. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language, and my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain skill, I fell onto the stones, and Toby came over, helping me up, “Safe, man. Safe.” A few minutes later, when I landed the skill, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting, “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered-landing skills, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2012, I found myself wandering down to Southbank for hours. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Then a teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, sat next to me. He seemed not to notice me. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago.” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
52．The writer felt ___________ soon after he moved to London.
A．upset B．happy C．surprised D．comfortable
53．What can we learn from the passage
A．The writer has lived in Southbank since he was 9 years old.
B．Skateboarding in Washington is as popular as in Southbank.
C．The teenager in the white T-Shirt is probably a local skater.
D．The writer was good at skateboarding before he moved to London.
54．What was the real reason for the writer to choose London for vacation
A．He wanted to learn skateboarding. B．He missed his childhood days.
C．He liked the cold and wet weather. D．He wanted to make new friends.
55．Why did the writer say “safe” in the last paragraph (请用约40词回答)
