Most of us need to heal (治愈) once in a while. For some of us, the hardest part of healing is simply to believe that it’s possible.
Years ago, I was watching my oldest son practice free throws. The boy was good. He made a dozen shots through the net without a miss.
“How do you do that ” I said.
“Before I release (放开) the ball,” he said, “I see it in my mind going through the net. I see it in my mind to make it happen.”
I loved those words. It struck me that they might also be said for healing. We need to believe healing can happen and picture it in our minds to see it in reality.
My late husband, the coach who taught the boy to shoot free throws, was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. With a firm belief that healing was possible, he stretched those six months into four years. He worked hard to heal. At the same time, he also learned to accept and let go.
Healing begins when we let go of the past, accept the present and believe that all things are possible.
A few years ago, I had surgery for a broken ankle (脚踝) and spent eight weeks in a wheelchair. I expected to start walking again. That didn’t happen.
I started going to physical therapy (治疗). I believed it could help, so I kept at it. Just when it seemed I’d never again walk as I did before, I did just that.
When hope fades away, we need to believe healing is possible. If we can see it in our minds and feel it in our hearts and believe it in our souls, we can let go of the past, accept the present and begin to move forward with our lives.
Look. Can you see it

25. What can we draw a conclusion about the author’s husband
A. He could walk again after surgery. B. He was strong-willed.
C. His cancer had been cured. D. He was a basketball player.
26. What does “it” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Hope. B. The past. C. Healing. D. The ball.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To emphasize the importance of healing.
B. To share her daily exchanges with family with us.
C. To persuade us to believe in physical therapy.
D. To encourage us to be positive about healing.
C
Are flash floods becoming more severe Natural disasters are generally getting worse, and that’s true for floods, too.
As climate change warms the atmosphere, extreme rainfall is rising, which increases the risk of flash floods. Heavy precipitation (降水) events are predicted to increase by 2 to 3 times the historical average. The Federal Emergency Management Agency expects the nation’s flood plains to expand by 45 percent by the end of this century, as the agency reported in a recent study. A study in early 2021 found that increased precipitation, resulting partially from climate change costs the US an additional $2.5 billion each year in flood damage. And some studies show that flood frequency was increasing in the Mississippi River valley and across the Midwest in the last century, as well as in the Northeast over the past 50 years.
There are several steps you can take to prepare for flash floods.
First, know the level of risk by looking at flood maps. You may be required to have flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area.
Pay attention to flash flood watches, which the National Weather Service (NWS) issues to indicate when conditions could result in flash floods. People in these areas should be ready to take action—particularly if the NWS announces a flash flood warning. That’s issued when flash floods are approaching and, at that point, people should immediately leave the area.
But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets—it’s difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can fall down. If flood-waters cause your car to lose control, abandon it and seek the higher ground. Rapidly rising water can sweep the vehicle away. Know your surroundings and head to the higher ground, and listen to the radio updates when in a flood.
It’s also important to develop an emergency preparedness plan with your family or those you live with to have a few days’ worth of resources.
28. Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1
A. To confirm an idea. B. To conclude the text.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To express some doubts.
29. How does the author support the theme of the second paragraph
A. By analyzing causes. B. By listing relevant data.
C. By describing processes. D. By making comparisons.
30. What are the drivers especially advised to do in the text
A. Buy insurance. B. Look at flood maps.
C. Have an emergency plan. D. Avoid the flooded streets.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. What Is a Flash Flood
B. Do Flash Floods Need Controlling
C. How Do We Prepare for Flash Floods
D. Are Flash Floods Becoming More Severe
D
We all may know someone we consider to be a picky eater, who tends to dislike some common food regularly and causes social embarrassment when ordering at restaurants. But for some people with picky eating can actually have a serious disorder, and clinical definitions (临床定义) of picky eating behaviors often include people who only consume around 20 different kinds of foods for a long period of time.
“Having restricted diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies (营养缺乏) as well as health problems like heart disease, poor bone health and dental issues,” explained Lorenzo Stafford, one of the authors on the latest study. “There is also a social cost because normally enjoyable moments between family members can easily turn into stressful, anxious, and conflict-causing situations when picky eaters feel ashamed or pressured to eat certain food.”
A new research focused on the effect of plate color on food attraction for picky eaters. The experiment was based on a study from 2018 which looked at the way different colored food bowls affected a person’s sense of taste.
Using a design similar to the 2018 research, the new experiments had participants rate the sweetness, saltiness and overall desirability of a snack food eaten from different colored bowls. In this instance the snack was salt and vinegar potato crisps consumed from either a red, blue or white bowl. Around 50 participants were recruited (招募) and classified as either picky or non-picky eaters based on a standard questionnaire.
The results showed picky eaters considered the snack to be saltier when it was eaten from the red or blue bowl compared to the white bowl, and picky eaters found the snack less desirable when eaten from the red bowl.
It is worth mentioning that a recent survey estimated nearly one in five American adults could be classified as picky eaters. So exploring ways to help these people better eat more types of foods could result in valuable health outcomes.
32. Which of the following may be a picky eater
A. Tony who only has vegetables for losing weight.
B. Kate who ate only some bread this morning.
C. Lily who likes only a small range of dishes.
D. Lucy who often orders little at restaurants.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Potential results of picky eating.
B. Moments that are ruined by picky eaters.
C. Health problems caused by picky eating.
D. Quotes of Lorenzo to support the research findings.
34. What is the finding of the new research
A. Bowls of different colors affect appetite of eaters.
B. Blue color bowls can make the food saltier for eaters.
C. The color of the bowl can change the taste of the dishes.
D. Food in red bowls seems less attractive to picky eaters.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To show the ways of improving people’s appetite.
B. To call on researchers to help picky eaters try a wider variety of foods.
C. To encourage us to raise picky eaters’ awareness of healthy eating.
D. To stress the importance of reducing picky eaters’ anxiety and stress.

It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English 36
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” 37 Where did you go in Canada What was your favorite place there How was the food there
Avoid simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going. For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie ” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” 38 You could answer, “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you ”
39
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. 40
A. Or, you could say more.
B. Be brave and practice often.
C. You can try the following ways.
D. Then you may make a new friend.
E. Why did you choose the destination
F. Correct your pronunciation if possible.
G. You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how.

Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses. Mr Swales was angry. He almost never raised his voice, but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody quiet this instant.”

We should all be grateful to Mr Harris. Where would we be without him Up to our ears in garbage, that’s where. How would you like that ”
“Pee-yoo!” somebody said. A few kids started laughing again.

And after that, you’re all going to write Jodie’s father, Mr Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us.” Everybody moaned (抱怨). Everyone said sorry to Jodie, but Jodie could tell they didn’t really mean it.
Her face was burning red and she felt like crying.
Mr Swales came to her and said, “Let’s go out in the hall, so we can have a private talk.” Jodie couldn’t hold back any more. She started crying out in the hall. “I’m sorry this happened,” he said. “But remember, hard work done well is something to be proud of.

My experience with sports
Sports play an important part in our daily life. As for me, I’ve had different sports experiences, which contribute to what I am today.
My passion for basketball was from James Harden. It was his graceful moves and jumps that motivated me into basketball. I miss the days when I played basketball with my teammates. Trainings and matches shape me to be more persistent and wiser. Another sport is swimming, which helps me stay healthy and in shape. I’ve been swimming for years. Every time I finish swimming, I feel refreshed and energetic.
All in all, my experiences with sports have aroused my potential and greatly impacted my life in many ways.

One possible version:
Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they reached home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time. Her father came into her room. “What happened, Jodie Why are you so sad ” Jodie was embarrassed and didn’t want to hurt her father’s feelings. Her father sat on the bed and put his hand on her shoulder. “It’s OK, sweetie. You can tell me everything.” “The other kids laughed at me because you are a garbageman.” Jodie looked at her father. He didn’t seem angry, hurt or sad. “Well then,” he said, “tomorrow is Saturday, why not come work with me.”
Next day, Jodie went to work with her father. The place really smelt too bad. However, everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves, then she began to work. It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy. “Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.” Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”
