Western people often host a spooky(吓人的)movie night for friends or family during the Halloween. Here are some tips for planning a fun event.
Schedule a date
A Friday or Saturday night might be a good option, so you can start the movie after dark — making the mood more scary —and not have to worry about staying up too late on a school night. Once you have a date and time picked out, reach out to anyone you would like to invite.
Pick a movie
You can check out the Halloween-themed movies on your family's streaming services or see what you might be able to download for free from the Internet. If you want friends to help you choose the fun and age-appropriate movie for everyone who is attending, you could narrow the selection down to three options and take a quick vote when everyone arrives.
Serve snacks
Popcorn is a classic movie treat and easy to make for a group. You can serve it plain or set up a popcorn bar. Place one large bowl of popcorn on a counter with several smaller bowls of toppings(配料) — like chocolate chips, small candies, and Pamesan cheese. Set out brown paper lunch bags, festive stickers, and black and orange markers so guests can personalize their bags.
Get the room ready
Depending on how many people you are hosting, you may want to add extra seating to your TV area. You could gather beanbag chairs, sleeping bags, and extra pillows to make the space cozy. Decorate the room in a Halloween theme like setting out plastic pumpkins with fake candles inside to help create a spooky mood and cutting out spider and ghost shapes to hang from the ceiling.
21. Why are weekends better for a movie night
A. Because more friends will come.
B. Because children have no homework.
C. Because Halloween is often on Fridays.
D. Because nobody will worry about sleeping late.
22. What is the purpose of preparing stickers and markers
A. To label the topping bowls. B. To stick the paper spiders.
C. To differ guests' lunch bags. D. To decorate the plastic pumpkins.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel flyer. B. A culture website.
C. A fashion magazine. D. A sales email.
B
During the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 in 2023, one of the highlights is a 48-year-old Uzbekistan gymnast, Oksana Chusovitina("Chuso"as she is affectionately known), who continues to compete despite numerous “retirements” .
Born in Bukhara, Uzbekistan in 1975, Chuso competed and won gold in her first Olympic Games at Barcelona 1992. After competing at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games, Chuso got married in 1997 and two years later, Alisher, her son, was born. Chuso's first “retirement” was due after competing at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, by which time five world championship medals had been won including three golds. But in 2002, Alisher was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) . The family moved to Germany where better treatment was available and Chuso continued to train as a way to take a break from the stresses of her son's health.
Chuso competed at Athens 2004, gained German citizenship in 2006 and won silver on vault(跳马)at Beijing 2008 for her adopted nation —Germany, aged 33, just months after Alisher received the all-clear. At London 2012, Chuso came fifth in the vault final. And finally, in 2013, after eight years in Germany, Chuso returned to the place she calls home, Uzbekistan. Chuso switched back to competing for her home nation at Rio 2016 and at Tokyo 2020, where she just qualified for vault, but unfortunately did not make the final. In 2022, Chuso won gold on vault at the Doha World Cup on 5 March, the second of four of the 2022 FIG Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup series.
The 48-year-old gymnast's motto is, "I'd rather try today than regret tomorrow". “I'm an ordinary person, "Chuso says. “I have my feelings, hardships and sometimes I'm even in a bad mood. Nothing phenomenal (非凡的)about me, just stuck in sports a little longer. If you want to achieve something, there is always a way. ”
24. In which year was Chuso's son born
A. 1997. B. 1999. C. 2000. D. 2008.
25. Why did Chuso's family move to Germany
A. To hold German citizenship. B. To get better treatment for Alisher.
C. To seek better living conditions. D. To receive more professional training.
26. How many Olympic Games did Chuso take part in
A. Six. B. Seven. C. Eight. D. Nine.
27. Which of the following best describes Chuso
A. Active and energetic. B. Outgoing and generous.
C. Ordinary and humorous. D. Determined and positive.
C
Words are powerful: they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the low or tear down the highest of the high. But a strong argument could be made that our body language is even more influential. The most effective communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching is acknowledged. When these nonverbal signals are working together with our words, it creates communication synergy.
It has been suggested that two-thirds of our communication is nonverbal. Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to motivate, inspire and engage. It can not only give you the confidence you need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know what you're talking about. It can even make your students feel safe and confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.
Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power and confidence. Signals include standing tall, gesturing only from the waist up, head straight and forward, and talking while pointing to others, which are obvious ways to exercise control. But when teaching, the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of leader. These signals convey warmth and understanding, reminding your students that you are approachable and there to help them grow. For example, fix your eyes on one student for about 15-30 seconds before changing to another student, which is one of the best ways to keep students' focus. Nod your head. Give the thumbs up! Show them they are on the right path and they will be more confident in continuing down it.
The importance of body language can never be ignored. It's desirable that you should advocate using body language in teaching and pay attention to the use rule and using skills. You should use right, natural and clear body language. It's crucial that you create good classroom atmosphere, inspire students' imagination and grasp students' mood.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Words are more powerful than body language in conveying meaning.
B. Nonverbal cues account for only a minor part of the communication.
C. Teachers should focus on their verbal expressions rather than their body language.
D. Combining body language and spoken communication enhances teaching effectiveness.
29. What do most leadership positions mainly express
A. Warmth. B. Encouragement C. Understanding. D. Control.
30. What's the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To give suggestions. B. To make a description.
C. To explain a theory. D. To summarize a debate.
31. What is the text mainly talking about
A. The value of teacher-student communication.
B. The effective ways of good communication.
C. The importance of teacher's body language.
D. The prospect of students' nonverbal learning.
D
For the first time in about 100 years, a rare bird called the takahe is walking freely along the Lake Whakatipu Waimaori Valley in New Zealand after 18 captive(圈养的)birds were released into the wild. The area is also home to a Maori tribe(毛利部落)called Ngai Tahu, which has spent years campaigning for the birds to return to their land. The Maori are New Zealand's Indigenous people(first people known to live there), and they consider the takahe bird to be “taonga”, meaning a treasure.
Takahē are large, round, flightless birds with red legs, and they have lived in New Zealand since prehistoric times. Like many New Zealand birds, takahe evolved to be flightless because there were no mammals to compete with. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand, however, predators (食肉动物)such as cats and ferrets (雪貂)were introduced and killed off many flightless birds. Takahe were declared extinct in 1898, but a small number of the birds were discovered in 1948 in a remote part of the Murchison Mountains.
Since then, conservationists have been trying to restore the takahe population in captivity. They gathered the bird's eggs in order to keep the chicks safe from predators. The chicks were raised by volunteers, who fed them while wearing sockpuppets on their hands to imitate the parent birds. There are now about 500 takahe birds in captivity. Several pairs of adult birds have been released into the island's sanctuaries(保护区)and national parks. Experts will monitor them to see how they adapt to their new environment. If everything goes well, they hope to release seven more birds this month and 10 young birds next year.
Ta Tipene O'Regan, an elder of the Ngai Tahu tribe, helped to release the birds. He told The Guardian newspaper, "There are few things more beautiful than to watch these large birds running back into lands where they haven't walked for over a century. ”O'Regan said, “It's an absolute joy. ”
32. As for Maori people, takahe are ________________.
A. valuable B. dangerous C. adaptable D. entertaining
33. What caused takahe flightless according to Paragraph 2
A. Big bodies B. Long time captivity.
C. Native people's protection. D. No competitors.
34. What does the underlined word “chicks”refer to in Paragraph 3
A. Eggs. B. Predators. C. Baby birds D. Parent takahe.
35. Which is probably the best title
A. Native Birds back in the Wild
B. A Big Joy of Maori Tribes
C. Rare Eggs Protected by Volunteers
D. Distinct Mammals in New Zealand

Emily was a shy and quiet student in Greenfield High School. Emily was known for her quiet behavior and her love for literature, often found lost in the pages of a book during lunch breaks.
One day, as Emily walked through the hallway, she noticed a colorful poster announcing an upcoming English poetry competition. Her heart raced with excitement at the prospect of showcasing her talent, but her mind was immediately flooded with doubts. “What if my poem is not good enough What if everyone laughs at me ”she thought to herself, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
As the days went by, Emily found herself caught between her desire to participate and her fear of failure. She talked with her best friend, Sarah, who had been by her side since they were little. She was known for her outgoing personality and her ability to make everyone feel included.
“You have a gift, Emily, ”Sarah said reassuringly, her blue eyes filled with encouragement. “Don't let your fears hold you back. You never know what might happen unless you try. ”
With Sarah's support, Emily decided to take a leap of faith and submit her poem for the competition. As the day of the event drew near, she felt a mix of nervousness and expectation. She spent hours perfecting her poem, carefully choosing each word and line to convey her emotions. She practiced her poem in front of the miror, trying to perfect her delivery and expression.
But despite her newfound confidence, Emily couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt in her mind. These thoughts consumed her, making it difficult for her to focus on anything else.
It was during one of these moments of self-doubt that Sarah came to her rescue once again. “You're an amazing writer, Emily, ”she said, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity. “Your poem is going to be incredible. Just believe in yourself. ”With Sarah's words in her mind, Emily felt a renewed sense of determination.
