In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.
It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.

When I was young at school, I loved to talk, which was not appreciated by Miss Jordan, my tenth-grade English teacher.
She wasn't a popular teacher because she was not good-looking and was so strict. Whenever she got upset, she would lower her head and look at you over the top of her glasses.
One day in her class, while I was busy talking, I didn't realize that she had stopped teaching. She stared straight at me. “Young lady, I would like to see you after school.”
For punishment she told me to write a thousand-word essay on education and it must be handed in by the following Wednesday. Well, that day came. I wasn't worried. It was a good paper. And I expected praise from her. The next day, however, she called me forward, looking at me over her glasses, and returned my paper. "Go back and rewrite. Remember, each paragraph must have a topic sentence." Then came the second time, the grammar. The third time, the spelling. The fourth time, the punctuation. The fifth, it wasn't neat enough. I was sick.
The sixth time, I rewrote the whole paper slowly, in ink, leaving generous space. Seeing it, she removed her glasses and smiled. She finally accepted the paper. After that, I put the whole thing out of my mind.
Two or three months passed, one day Miss Jordan said to us, “Class, do you still remember an essay contest held citywide They have announced the winners. Yes, Mary has won the first prize."
I was amazed! It was the first time I had won a prize. Years later, I told a reporter the story and expressed my great thanks to Miss Jordan. Soon after that, I got a letter from Miss Jordan, and it said, "What I did wasn't that important. What mattered was the lesson you had learnt. When you wrote and rewrote that paper for me, you began to learn how to discipline yourself.”
11.What made Miss Jordan unhappy with the author
A.She often lowered her head in class. B.She always talked too much in class.
C.She often made her classmates upset. D.She often laughed at Miss Jordan's glasses.
12.Which is the right order of the author's correction
①Grammar. ②Punctuation. ③Topic sentence. ④Spelling. ⑤Neatness.
A.③②①⑤④ B.③①⑤②④ C.③①④②⑤ D.③⑤④②①
13.Which of the following words best describe Miss Jordan
A.Active and open-minded. B.Honest but cold-blooded.
C.Energetic and kind-hearted. D.Strict but broad-minded.
14.What would be the best title of the text
A.A naughty girl B.A good lesson in life
C.An essay contest D.A terrible memory in mind
15.What can we learn from Miss Jordan's letter
A.No pains, no gains. B.Love me, love my dog.
C.All roads lead to Rome. D.Two heads are better than one.

Parents. teachers, and anyone who regularly deals with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent(青春期的) years can be. Adolescents have always been known to do wild-even dangerous-things. This was thought to be due to the foolishness of youth. Now a study on the development of the brain has led to a new theory of why teens act the way they do.
Recently, scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by age 6. they are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly “grow up.” During this time, they go through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This “upgrade“ was once thought to be finished by a t age 12. Now, scientists have concluded that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing our impulses (冲动) with the need to follow rules. However, a still-developing brain does this awkwardly. The result, scientists claim, is the unexpected behavior seen in teenagers.
The studies confirm that teens are more likely to take risks and behave in extreme ways. Fortunately, the news isn’t all negative. As brain scientists point out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teenagers prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward (回报). Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains give off the chemicals that create pleasure. Researchers believe this makes the rewards outweigh the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences.
Unfortunately, this hunt for rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely to try new things or to be independent. The findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brains are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
16.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To describe an experiment on the brains of teenagers.
B.To explain how teenagers’ brains affect their behavior.
C.To introduce a new discovery on teenagers’ intelligence.
D.To suggest that teenagers think differently from their parents.
17.What can we learn about our brains in paragraph 2
A.They are at full size by age 6
B.They begin to upgrade at age 12.
C.They are fully developed at age 18.
D.They finish developing at age 25.
18.What does the author mean by ”the news isn’t all negative“ in paragraph 3
A.The negative side of the research is not understood.
B.The way the teen brain works has some advantages.
C.The latest news of the research should be provided.
D.The impulses of a teenage brain should be controlled.
19.What happens to their brains when teenagers think about rewards
A.Changing into the adult pattern
B.Starting to weigh risk and reward
C.Creating connections with success
D.Giving off chemicals that create pleasure.
20.Which is the best heading for the last paragraph
A.An independent brain. B.A successful life
C.The role of parents in life D.The rewards of findings
