（A）
Do you know Su Bingtian He is a Chinese runner. He was born in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province on August 20th, 1989.
Known as China’s fastest man, Su Bingtian made history and brought an unforgettable moment to the world in the summer of 2021. On Aug 1, Su set a new record of 9. 83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics Men’s 100m semifinals (半决赛), which made him the first Chinese runner to enter the event’s final round.
For a long time, some people thought that Asian people were not physically built for sprinting (短跑). Su’s success shows it’s not true.
However, it was not easy for Su to succeed. Because of being hurt, Su had to stop running for several years. Later, he came back to the track (跑道) and trained even harder than before.
He realized that finishing the semifinal in less than 10 seconds would earn him a chance to enter the final competition. To encourage himself, Su set a personal goal (目标) of 9. 89 seconds in 2012. He even made this number his password (密码) for his phone and computer. Luckily, he finally achieved his goal.
On March 3rd, 2022, he was honored (授予……荣誉) in annual Touching China awards. “I am so proud of my result. I can write my name into history now and I will work harder and run faster. I hope my performance today will encourage more people.”

Is gaming good or bad
If you enjoy playing video games, you must have argued (争论) with your parents at least once about the impact (影响) of gaming. Your parents might say that video games are bad for you. They may worsen your eyes, lower your school record, and could lead to health problems. As a kid, you probably argue that video games allow you to communicate with your friends well and improve (改善) your memory. Could you both be right
One study of game players has shown that 35% of high school and college students have missed school or work because of games. Some other studies have shown that playing video games leads to poor attention in school or at work. In my study, primary and high school kids playing games had lower test grades, less pain awareness during and after having played video games.
However, there is another study by Cheryl Olson. He interviewed 1,000 students and found that video games can help kids improve problem-solving skills, make friends, show leadership. They can also be highly educational (有教育意义的), because some games include problem-solving skills or teach things like history, geography, or culture.
So, maybe you’re wondering ... should I play video games or not Who is right
I think kids and parents are both right. How Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when kids play for too long, so play moderately (适度地). Here’s how to do that.
First, talk with your parents and take breaks from your gaming to help around the house or to get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, if you wear a headset (耳机) to play, take it off every few minutes or leave one ear free so you can hear your surroundings (周围的事物). Fourth, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might surprise them with how enjoyable they are. They may end up having more fun than you!
30. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1
A. The reasons why playing games is bad for kids.
B. Parents and kids hold different opinions about video games.
C. A story about kids’ arguing with their parents about playing video games.
D. Playing games always causes arguments between parents and their children.
31. Cheryl Olson’s study is mentioned to ________.
A. show the bad impact playing video games can have
B. show the good impact playing video games can have
C. express the author’s opinion about playing video games
D. share the findings of the latest research about video games
32. According to the article, what may video games bring to kids
A. Bad eyesight. B. Bad memory.
C. Nice grades. D. Good health.
33. The author may support ________.
A. playing educational games without breaks
B. always wearing a headset when playing games
C. many games require people to be seated while playing
D. playing educational games which parents can take part in
( C )
Do Animals Really Sleep for Winter
For people who don’t like winter, animals that hibernate (冬眠) seem to have the right idea. But is hibernation the same as sleeping
Well, in fact, animals that hibernate don’t “sleep” during the winter. Hibernation is very different from what happens when you sleep. During hibernation, metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down greatly. When lemurs (狐猴) hibernate, for example, they slow their heart rates. An active lemur’s heart beats 300 times a minute. During hibernation, it beats less than six times a minute. Its breathing slows down, too. Hibernating lemurs can go ten minutes without taking a breath. Their brain activity becomes very slow . During sleep, however, animals continue to breathe as usual.
According to scientists, hibernation is a way for animals to save energy. However, animals that live in cold areas are not the only ones to hibernate. Some animals hibernate to beat the heat. For some, hibernation is not because of temperatures (气温). Some animals hibernate when there is no food. Echidnas (针鼹), for example, will hibernate after fires. They won’t go back to usual activities until food grows back. Some animals hibernate to stay safe. Animals don’t smell or move much when they hibernate. This makes it hard for other animals to find them and eat them.
There are many mammals (哺乳动物) that hibernate. Most of them are small — weigh less than 90 grams. Little animals usually lose heat quickly. It is hard for them to stay warm in winter, so they need to save more energy than larger animals do.
We human beings don’t need hibernation. So, don’t be lazy and lie in bed all day long during the coming winter holiday!
According to the article, during hibernation, animals ______.
lose weight B. stop breathing
C. slow down their brain activity D. breathe quickly
35. The author uses the example of echidnas to show that ______.
A. hibernation is different from sleeping
B. most mammals don’t need hibernation
C. during hibernation, metabolism slows down
D. hibernation isn’t always because of temperatures
36. According to the article, mammals that hibernate are usually ______.
A. small in size B. young in age
C. tall in height D. heavy in weight
37. By writing this article, the author mainly wants to ______.
A. tell people more about hibernation
B. prevent young people from getting lazy
C. explain why human beings don’t need hibernation
D. list the differences between hibernation and sleeping
( D )

Once upon a time, there were four seeds (种子). They were good friends. They traveled by wind and came to a forest. 41
But when the first seed began to grow, they realized it wouldn’t be such an easy task. There lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest monkeys loved to throw bananas at any plant that started to grow. 42 When she told the other seeds what happened, they thought that it would be better to wait until the monkeys went away.

She tried again and again. Every time she was hit (被打) by bananas, she would try harder.

My invention — a super schoolbag
My invention is a super schoolbag. It is different from a traditional one.
It is as small as an English textbook and very light. Besides, it is convenient and practical, because it has many functions. Firstly, I can put some books in my super schoolbag, and it can communicate with me. It can also sing songs, dance and search for information I need. Secondly, the schoolbag can remind me to get up and go to bed on time. Thirdly, the super schoolbag only uses solar energy, so it won't produce any pollution.
Do you like my invention
