I am Lucy, a 15-year-old girl from India and I think believing is a great power that can change anything in your life.
When I was 13, almost everyone just thought I was a kid so I did not have to worry about anything. But that was not true because I was bored with everything I was learning. Besides, my mother didn’t understand me.
When I was 14, things changed. My friend encouraged me to learn music and I just found out that I had a strong interest in music so I started spending much time on it. Soon I wanted to be a part of it. So I researched it and then I wanted to be a part of an academy(专科院校) that trains musicians. But the problem was that it was in a different country. Although my parents might not be on my side, I never gave up my dream.
During the next year, I practised my skills in dancing, singing and flexibility. I was in senior high school and had to be a boarder(寄宿生). My mother made me focus on my study. But I was busy preparing for auditions(试镜) of that academy and I was doing everything I could to prove it. To get what I wanted, I had that academy’s photos all over my room and that city’s main monument on my phone’s wallpaper.
After a year in 2022, I finally gave my best audition of that academy on the Internet and I got in! I was happy but sometimes I wondered whether my parents were going to agree to it or not, Fortunately, my parents agreed and I flew to that country to give the last phase of an interview to join that academy. I passed and later was sent there for training.
It was not surprising that I finally got the chance to live in the city of my dream and train in the academy of my dream, as I believed everything was going to work out as long as I held on to my dream.

Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don’t talk about it.
These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as “silent dinners”. It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead the idea is to just on the food.
“Silent dinner parties are fast growing, ” said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia and the United States. “The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it. ”
According to a 2013 nationwide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer (顾客) complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.
Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis (瑜伽信徒) have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple (寺庙) in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.
“We’ll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour, ” said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.
“It’s funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn’t play music for some time and people had very different reactions (反映) to that,” said Colon. “Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed. ”
Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. “At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh.”
8. The first paragraph is written to be a(n)____ .
A. Conclusion B. Introduction
C. Argument D. warning
9. At silent dinner parties, people should not____.
A. leave before they finish eating B. just pay attention to the food
C. use a mobile phone or listen to music D. take electronic devices to the party
10. What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5
A. Silent meals help people live longer.
B. Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners.
C. More and more people like eating in silence.
D. The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago.
11. In Jordan Colon’s opinion, silent dinners ____.
A. make people comfortable and relaxed B. are hard to be accepted by most people
C. can help him to attract more customers D. provide a chance to get to know others
D
Beep! Beep! Beep! The barcode (条形码) technology (科技) makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. This year, the great invention is 51 years old!
On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, an IBM engineer named George Laurer came up with a code (代码) that could be printed on food packages (包装). Based on this code, a complete code system came into being later. The system was used by many companies from 1973. Before this, shopkeepers had to write down prices by hand, which took much time and energy.
Actually, a barcode is really a simple idea: show each product’s information in different numbers (just like the ID card number for the product), then include these numbers into a code and print it for computers to read. It has turned out to be a really great invention.
What information does a barcode carry Where the product comes from, its price, production date… you name it. It can also help stores always know about their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left on the shelf. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to follow their books in this way.
Inspired (启发) by it, the more developed codes have been invented later, such as QR codes. QR codes can hold more information. They can tell customers what materials are used in a product or if the product is suitable for certain people. This keeps providing the customers with greater trust in the products they will buy.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The code system was made in the morning.
B. Many companies began to use barcodes in 1971.
C. The IBM engineer named George Laurer is 51 years old now.
D. It was hard to record products’ prices before barcodes were invented.
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. Libraries use QR codes to follow their books.
B. QR codes have a history of more than 50 years.
C. People use QR codes more often than barcodes now.
D. The barcode can be used to record the number of products.
14. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To show some changes of stores. B. To call on people to use barcodes.
C. To introduce a great invention to people. D. To introduce a great engineer to people.

I am Lucy, a 15-year-old girl from India and I think believing is a great power that can change anything in your life.

Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don’t talk about it.

“It’s funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn’t play music for some time and people had very different reactions (反映) to that,” said Colon. “Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed. ”
Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. “At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh.”

Beep! Beep! Beep! The barcode (条形码) technology (科技) makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. This year, the great invention is 51 years old!
On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, an IBM engineer named George Laurer came up with a code (代码) that could be printed on food packages (包装). Based on this code, a complete code system came into being later. The system was used by many companies from 1973. Before this, shopkeepers had to write down prices by hand, which took much time and energy.
Actually, a barcode is really a simple idea: show each product’s information in different numbers (just like the ID card number for the product), then include these numbers into a code and print it for computers to read. It has turned out to be a really great invention.
What information does a barcode carry Where the product comes from, its price, production date… you name it. It can also help stores always know about their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left on the shelf. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to follow their books in this way.
Inspired (启发) by it, the more developed codes have been invented later, such as QR codes. QR codes can hold more information. They can tell customers what materials are used in a product or if the product is suitable for certain people. This keeps providing the customers with greater trust in the products they will buy.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The code system was made in the morning.
B. Many companies began to use barcodes in 1971.
C. The IBM engineer named George Laurer is 51 years old now.
D. It was hard to record products’ prices before barcodes were invented.
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. Libraries use QR codes to follow their books.
B. QR codes have a history of more than 50 years.
C. People use QR codes more often than barcodes now.
D. The barcode can be used to record the number of products.
14. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To show some changes of stores. B. To call on people to use barcodes.
C. To introduce a great invention to people. D. To introduce a great engineer to people.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了条形码的起源、原理、功能和发展。
