Scientific educational toys can develop kid’s reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination. But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:
·Science Kit
You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments.
·Mini Terra Kit
You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.
·Gravity Run
This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.
·WeRo Kit
This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own.

I’ve been keeping an honesty journal for the past several months. The day I started the journal, my 6-year-old daughter asked me if the cat really went to sleep last year, and if that actually meant that I had killed him. I sighed, wondering if I should wait to start this honesty project until she was grown-up. But I braved it and told her that I had made the choice for him to die, because he was suffering and I wanted him to be at peace. She lost interest about halfway through my explanation.
It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.
Over all, I found that I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big. So, when a client accidentally paid me twice for a project, there was no internal debate. It was $1,000, so obviously, I notified the client. But when the McDonald’s drive-through cashier gave me an extra dollar in change and the line had been so long and my kids were acting crazy in the back seat... it was a different story. Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didn’t, because an extra dollar was such a small thing and seemed somehow justified.
Even though honesty felt like a struggle, I started to like how it felt. When I was more honest, I tended to feel better about my relationships and myself. I like the saying, “Everybody wants the truth, but nobody wants to be honest.” I didn’t always want to be honest. But I wanted the truth, and this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part.
The bottom line is that focusing on honesty is a way to actively engage with the world, instead of passively complaining about it. It might even make you feel like you have gold in your brain.
24．How did the author’s daughter react to her explanation
A．She paid little attention to it. B．She thought it was incredible.
C．She would rather the author lied to her. D．She was very sad and blamed the author.
25．What lesson did the author learn from the cat event
A．Telling a white lie was not acceptable. B．Making the choice for the cat was wrong.
C．Lying and being honest were a tricky pair. D．Telling the truth could make people happy.
26．What does the author want to show by mentioning her McDonald’s experience
A．It’s crazy to choose to be honest.
B．People are likely to have two characters.
C．It’s the small instances that test one’s honesty.
D．People tend to ignore honesty concerning small things.
27．What is the author’s attitude toward honesty
A．It is impossible to expect it. B．It is good to focus on it.
C．It is reasonable to popularize it. D．It is hard to learn from it.
C
Fewer than 250 people have feasted their eyes on the Titanic since it was discovered on the seabed of the North Atlantic Oceans in 1985, but a small number of citizen explorers will make the epic two-mile journey to the depths this year.
OceanGate Expeditions announced its second annual expedition to the wreck in the summer of 2022. The Titanic Expedition is conducted as a series of eight-day missions starting in May and ending in June 2022, and each seat costs $250, 000.
Aaron Newman, OceanGate Expedition Mission Specialist during the 2021 trip, said in a statement: “This is one of the most interesting and unique experiences I have ever had. Less than around 200 people have ever been down to the Titanic and seen the wreck in 110 years. Even diving to almost 4000 meters in a submersible (潜水器) is an experience onto itself. That’s what life is about.”
The citizen explorers will begin their adventure by sailing on the expedition ship from St. John’s in Newfoundland, Canada, to the site of the Titanic wreckage, located 370 miles away. The Titan submersible is equipped with the latest camera technologies to capture ultra-high-resolution imagery (超高清影像) that will help determine the wreck’s rate of decay and assess the marine life that dwell on it. An experienced submersible pilot, P. H. Nargeolet said in a statement: “We have a lot of room inside the Titan submersible. We can have five people in the sub and there is a big view port.”
The Titanic, which was called the “unsinkable ship”, went down on April 14, 1912, four days into her first voyage from Southampton, England to New York. The giant ship collided with an iceberg and in the end, 1,517 of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard died.
According to the National Oceanic and Atomspheric Adminstration, te ship is likely to collapse within the next 40 years.
28．What did Aaron Newman think of the 2021 expedition to the wreck of Titanic
A．It was fantastic. B．It was expensive. C．It was demanding. D．It was worthless.
29．What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The rate of decay. B．The wreck. C．The high-tech camera. D．The Titan submersible.
30．What do we know about the 2022 Titanic expedition
A．Explorers will go to the depth of 370 meters under the sea.
B．Explorers can learn about the marine life on the wreck through a high-resolution telescope.
C．Explorers will have a series of eight-day missions in the fall of 2022.
D．Explorers will share a big view port in the spacious submersible.
31．What’s the purpose of paragraph 5
A．To present a detail. B．To introduce the expedition.
C．To add the background information. D．To attract people to buy the 2022 trip.
D
For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they’ll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it’s successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.
32．What is special about the red blood cells in1 the experiment
A．They’re given by those with rare blood types.
B．They’re collected from seriously ill patients.
C．They’re specifically for a single blood type.
D．They’ve never existed in any human bodies.
33．What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion
A．Blood reserves are often inadequate. B．It often takes the patient a lot of time.
C．Most normal blood cells don’t live long. D．It’s unfit for those with rare blood types.
34．What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells
A．It will have a long way to go. B．It’ll replace normal transfusions.
C．It will separate rare blood types. D．It’ll reduce blood research costs.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Blood Transfusions Get Easier B．Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare
C．Rare Blood Cells Need Donating D．Scientists Test Lab-created Blood

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Knowing How and When to Say Sorry Can Build Better Friendship
Have you ever argued with a friend and said or done something you regretted 36 . Knowing how to apologize can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
Why do we argue
We argue for all kinds of reasons. For example, you might think your football team is fantastic, but your friend disagrees, or you don’t want someone to join in your game. Sometimes, especially if you are angry, things can become out of control, and you’ll say or do something you regret. 37 . But it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.
What does saying sorry mean
We all make mistakes, and apologizing is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. 38 . An apology needs to show the other person that you are genuinely sorry, you accept responsibility for your actions, and that you want their forgiveness.
39
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it has nothing to do with you. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Does apologizing always work
A genuine apology is a magic word. It may take time for someone to understand and forgive. 40 . But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
A．What if it’s not my fault
B．How should we apologize to others
C．Try it again if you fail to get others’ forgiveness
D．Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad
E．Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal
F．It may be hard to say sorry, but if you want to make something better you must try
G．Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt

72． How to Improve the Efficiency in Class
Nowadays, some students are not efficient enough in study. They can't concentrate on study. They can't memorize knowledge well. And some even feel sleepy in class.
Here. I will offer some practical ways, hoping to be helpful to everyone of us. First, whenever you are absent-minded, just remind yourself to be focused. Second, make notes carefully. In this way, you aren't likely to be absent-minded. If you are sleepy, you can stand up for a while with your teacher's permission.
Let's work hard together and make progress in our study.

M: I’m sick of living in the city. It seems like there is always a car alarm going off through the streets! It’s so noisy!
W: I know, but I still love living here. I can walk to work, the store, and my favorite cafe every day. Everything is so close! Would you give that up just for less noise
M: I’m beginning to think so. Another thing that annoys me is parking the car. Sometimes I have to drive around for 30 minutes to find a spot!
W: I wish your workplace was closer. Then we could just get rid of the car and not worry about parking it.
M: And it is getting expensive to rent an apartment. I heard that rents will continue to increase in the next several years. We could buy a big house and save money in the long run if we moved somewhere else.

M: Listen, I know a professor who is planning a five-day trip to Paris for his French class. Do you think your father would let you go
W: I don’t know. He probably wouldn’t want me wandering around a foreign city on my own.
M: Well, you wouldn’t be alone. And you’d still have to finish your project. But this professor will be taking his group to many different museums, libraries, and monuments — the best sources of information! How fluent are you in French
W: I can speak and read very well.
M: Good! Well, the trip is in two weeks. Talk to your father and let me know by Friday if you’ll be able to go. I’ll arrange everything and talk to the school principal after that.
W: Umm, how much will the ticket be
M: That will be paid by the school. There is a special fund for outstanding seniors like you who are going to college next year. And the professor will be able to use his research money to pay for your meals and accommodation. You’d just need to pay for extra things like snacks or souvenirs.
W: Wow! That will certainly help convince my father!
Text10：
Although the average golfer is a bit older, I started playing the game when I was 12 years old. At that time, I was fortunate to have youth golf camps available at my school. A group of friends and I practiced at these camps to be able to join our school team and play against others. Afterwards, I was invited to play in my first amateur tournament. Then, I taught my dad how to play while we toured the world for amateur tournaments. We played at famous golf courses like St. Andrew’s in Scotland, which is regarded as the place where the game was invented. Meanwhile, I played in tournaments like the junior British Open in England.
