In the 1950s, a female swimmer set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel(海峡) before she retired(退休). If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea and swam towards the opposite bank. In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves(波浪). Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank(海岸) was only l mile away. Later people asked her about the reason. And she said “The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination(目的地) which I was so close to.”
Too many success stories have been telling us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to find courage(勇气) and persistence.
You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can succeed in persisting only when you know where your goal is，and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上).
Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.
A life without goals is like a ship without a compass(指南针). It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph l refer to
A. Being retired.
B. Swimming across the English Channel
C. Swimming towards the bank.
D. Setting a goal.

C. She didn't have courage at first.
D. She thought her destination was far away.
7. What can be inferred (推论) from the last sentence of the passage
A. If you have courage and persistence, you have goals.
B. Even if you have no goals, you have courage to persist.
C. There is no courage or persistence unless you know your goals.
D. Between input and output, you must find courage and persistence.

Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this Why can't you stop eating these salty chips Scientists said it is due to(因为) a kind of neuron (神经元).
Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt.
The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking (缺少) sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals (信号) to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail.
How do these neurons work
Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone(荷尔蒙)called aldosterone(醛固酮). This hormone then makes these neurons become active.
More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more. Time magazine reported. This may cause people to continue eating even if they are full.
Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured(计算) how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating.
The results showed that salt made people eat 1l percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time.
8. We may find it hard to stop eating potato chips mainly because______.
A. potato chips don't have much sodium
B. potato chips send hungry signals to our brain
C. some neurons make us want to eat salt
D. people's brains will be more active with more salt
9. Scientists from Deakin University found that______.
A. mice also need salt
B. more salt makes people eat more
C. not all people like salty food
D. people are not happy when they eat less
10. What advice might the writer give
A. People should eat more chips.
B. More salt should be taken in to stay healthy.
C. Salt can make food more delicious
D. Low-salt meals can help us stay healthy.
11. You might see this story in ____.
A. a road map B. a math report
C. a science magazine D. a storybook

Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic(经济的)success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are filled with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.

Everyone has a hero in his or her heart and I think a hero must be a good example for others.
The hero in my heart is called Zhong Nanshan. He is a doctor from Guangdong. The reason I like him is that he, as well as his team, saved a lot of patients during the pandemic.

Maybe I cannot be a doctor like him but I will try my best to contribute to human society.
