In an international spelling contest (竞赛) in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 31 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 32 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 33 the word, but instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 34 letter-so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 35 , the entire audience stood to their feet, clapping (鼓掌) to applaud her 36 .

Working with a stressed mind is like swimming with a jacket on, while a mind free from work stress is light like the wind and it can help you accomplish your daily tasks easily. To relieve (缓解) stress and lighten your mind, you must first understand the nature of stress and the reasons why it builds up. Then you can easily beat stress.
Talk it out
Talking to others helps relieve work stress especially when you and the person you talk to are in the same boat and under the same work stress. Your worries will be divided! If you are your own boss, you need some good advisers around you, who know your trouble and talk sense! If there is no such persons at your workplace, let there be one at home, who is a friend, a family member or a guide that you can talk to.
Let music calm you mind
Music has the power to take you into a new world, away from your worries. Taking a break to listen to some favorite music is also a great way to relieve stress.
Take a walk
If there is a park around, go and have a walk there. You can eat some snacks sitting on the grass. Move around, look at the world around you and forget your work for a while. Let your body get some exercise. A walk works as it also clears your thoughts. You can listen to music while going on a walk.
Have a life beyond the workplace
If you keep thinking about nothing other than work all the time, there is bound to be stress. So, throw away your thoughts about work after you leave your office and get a life beyond it. Have a life beyond the workplace, and you can relax after work.

B
An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu settled onto my grandmother's dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It's supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother's house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle's condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) . He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile appeared from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle's Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice (偏见) . As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
56. Why did stinky tofu become the author's favorite dish
A. It was related to family tradition. B. It turned out to be quite delicious.
C. Grandma encouraged him to try it. D. His appetite for food had increased
57. What did the author think of his uncle at first
A. He was a quiet person. B. He was an energetic guy.
C. He was an immature man. D. He was a strange creature.
58. The author's attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when ________.
A. Chan's footsteps woke up the author
B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author
C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother
D. Chan's blank expression made the author smile
59. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author's uncle serves to ________.
A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan B. analyze the family relationship
C. describe a childhood memory D. introduce a traditional Chinese food
60. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage
A. We shouldn't judge by appearances. B. A person's taste changes over time.
C. Blood is thicker than water. D. You are what you cat
C
The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks—both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study. Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen.” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind's eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth-grade level, they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
61. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past
A. The absence of blackboard in classrooms. B. The use of new technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones.
62. Berninger's study published in 2009 _______.
A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer
B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper
C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. discussed the importance of writing speed.
63. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A. Spelling improves one's memory of words
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas
64. What does “mind's eye” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture. D. Imagination.
65. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

Months earlier, my wife Lisa had woken up at 4: 45 am, preparing to do exercise. She heard voices coming from the upstairs game room and decided to investigate. She discovered that our older son, Hunter. had been playing the video game Fortnite since he got home from school the previous day. What she found angered both of us.
We were sick and tired of the amount of time Hunter spent playing video games. He was so addicted to video games. Back in the 1980s, instead of playing video games, we kids were crazy about playing baseball and street football, driving hoops (大环圈) outside the house, etc. But times are different now. It becomes apparent that kids of the new generation are entirely different from kids of my generation. My kid and his peers (同龄人) are crazy about electronic products. I work in a summer camp and am responsible for the field sports programme. I often notice many of the campers playing video games on little portable (便携式的) devices.
I began to refer to kids who spent more time playing video games than playing sports as the Nintendo Generation. In an attempt to ensure that our kid did not become a member of the Nintendo Generation, I came up with a programme to help Hunter deal with his bad habit. It was that video-game time in our house would have to be earned, just like money. l set the exchange rate: Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play.
The first couple of days didn't go well. Instead of choosing to run to win the time of playing games, he decided to boycott my programme and spend time sleeping. But eventually. Hunter came around, and decided he would give running a shot. Now, Hunter is in good health and can run 18 miles. But nine months earlier, he was not in any condition to run five miles.
I hope that running teaches my son to invest his time in worthwhile efforts, to do something hard, but quite meaningful and beneficial and then to enjoy a reward. I never want him to stop challenging himself.

Dear Paul,
I was delighted to know the UN declared the Chinese Spring Festival as a UN Floating holiday. It's great to see more cities in the UK celebrating the festival too. Apart from the customs you mentioned, there are other significant traditions and activities. Families exchange red envelopes filled with money to bring good luck. We also have the lion and dragon dances, which are lively performances believed to scare away evil spirits and bring good fortune.
In recent years, celebrations have evolved in China. Besides traditional activities, people now enjoy watching the CCTV New Year's Gala, a TV show filled with music, dance, and comedy performances. Additionally, many people travel domestically or internationally during the holiday, exploring new destinations and experiencing different cultures. The Chinese New Year's global spread is due to China's increasing influence and the world's fascination with its rich culture. It promotes cultural understanding and exchange, fostering friendships and connections around the globe.
I hope you can come to my hometown one day to experience it and have a deeper understanding of the Chinese New Year. I will be glad to your guide to enjoy it.
Warm regards,
Li Jin
