A few years ago, I wasn't very happy at school and I wasn't doing well in my tests.
So, when I was eight, Mum and Dad decided to teach me at home.
They told me their decision one Sunday night. "That's great!" I thought. I could stay
in bed all day! Well, it wasn't quite like that! My parents found out what I needed to learn
Sometimes I had lessons but most of the time I studied things I liked. That's how home
schooling works best.
My favorite hobby was playing computer games. So, with Dad's help, I began to
write my own computer programs. But I didn't sit at the computer all day. I liked making
models, too. To make the models, I needed math! At school, math was boring, but it was
- useful for making my models. I made a model plane and a model boat and I needed to
understand science and math to do that.
So were there any bad things about homeschooling Not really. I missed my friends,
but I saw them on weekends and we talked about school! They told me about their week
at school and I told them about mine. Mine always sounded funnier. Some weeks I studie
more than they did. Other weeks I didn't study much at all. And I never had homework!
I'm 15 now and I'm back at school because I need to take exams. I don't mind. It's
nice to be studying with my friends again.

D. The writer learned about his friends' school life

Negative (消极的) energy can be found almost everywhere. There are people complaining about life often, practicing bad habits and bringing you down. The emotions（情绪） they spread influence your thoughts and actions in a bad way, so avoiding the sources of negative energy is necessary if you want to be more successful.Everyone can be easily affected by negative emotions unless you learn how to deal
with them. The following ways will show you how positive(积极的) people deal with negativity. so you can apply them to your life.
Spend time enjoying nature. Being in nature clears your mind and relaxes your
body. Positive people spend a part of their day getting outside to enjoy the beauty of our
planet. It's a great way to charge (给...充电) your batteries! Practice positive thinking. Thoughts influence your actions. So if you think negatively, there will be no bright future ahead of you. Positive people don't believe in the excuses their minds come up with. By finding the good side of the problems, they make sure they are mentally set for success.
Keep away from negative people. Your surroundings have a great influence on you.
If you spend time with positive people, you are more likely to be happy and satisfied. On
the other hand, if you are too close to those who always complain, you will have a hard
time removing the negativity from your life.
Accept failure. Positive people embrace failure as they realize it's the only way to
learn and grow. Whenever they fail, they work hard to get to the top again instead of
giving up. Even though failure brings negative emotions, they believe it will go away
quickly. To speed up the process, they keep thinking positively.
61. The negative people are easy to____________.
A. get success
B. spend time outside
C. believe in themselves
D. make you upset
62. Which of the following is a great way to make you active again

五 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
What I am going to tell you today might help you save thousands of dollars. Don't
believe that the best way to learn a foreign language is to live in a foreign country. You
Can learn a foreign language well at home if you want to.
My secret to learning English well at home is to learn it like a child. Do you know
how children learn their mother language They listen before they can even speak, and
when they start speaking, they simply repeat the words. To avoid(避免) boring myself to
death by listening and repeating the same text, I looked for some interesting TV shows
more. The fifth time, I was able to follow the story without understanding every single
word. I listened until I could remember all the dialogues.
The next step is to find a conversation partner at home. I used to go to "English
Comer" to speak English with other people. However, in recent years, I found that I could
make technology work for me. I often looked for some language exchange events(语言交流活动
) through websites such as Meetup or Skype with many foreign friends.
Finally, my advice is to make your job work for you. Find a job that you have to use a
foreign language. That's 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week of practice time.
Some years later, when I travelled to the US for the first time, my American friends
were impressed at how well I spoke English.
