It’s great to have many friends, and I can’t imagine my life without my friends. My name’s Molly. My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now we are in the same class of the 8th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. But I am not so beautiful as she is. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing lots of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to make a report on science once, but I didn't understand what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn’t laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and made me happy. I am a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don’t understand me. Lisa is popular and everybody loves her.

Throughout China’s National Day holiday of 2023, about 50,000 tourists gathered daily in the fish village of Xunpu in Fujian. They dressed themselves in different kinds of costumes, ranging from horse-face skirts to Dai ethnic clothing, yet all of them wore colorful flowers.
The tradition of wearing flowers has been a part of Xunpu women’s lives since the Tang and Yuan dynasties. The locals believe that if you “put flowers in your hair in this life, and you’ll also be pretty in the after-life” .
▲ Children aged eight to twelve wear flowers on both sides of their temples (太阳穴). Teenagers, around the age of thirteen, decorate their round bun-like hair with fresh flowers. Middle-aged women usually style their hair in a spiral bun (螺旋发髻) with both flowers and gold hair decorations (装饰). When it comes to elderly women, a red headscarf, alongside red flowers and head decorations, is preferred. The tradition of flower-wearing among Xunpu women has been recognized as part of China’s intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Even though the tradition in Xunpu is believed to come from foreign countries, the flower decoration culture has deep roots in China. The earliest record can be found in the Record on Travel to Nanyue (南越行纪) by Lu Jia from the Han Dynasty, which mentioned women in the state of Nanyue used to adorn themselves with threaded jasmine (茉莉花).
In addition to its decoration purpose, flower decoration carries a deeper meaning of blessing. During the Han dynasty, people, including men, wore cornels (山茱萸) as a means to get rid of bad spirits and wish for long life during the Double Ninth Festival, a tradition Chinese festival that celebrates the elders.
The culture to wear flowers changes with historical development, the flower-wearing traditions of Xunpu women have remained to the present day, symbolizing Xunpu women’s hopes for a better life.
52. What does the word “adorn” mean in Paragraph 4
A. 喜爱 B. 装扮 C. 描绘 D. 馈赠
53. Which sentence can be put into ▲
A. How to wear flowers is different according to the wearer’s age.
B. However, the custom of men wearing flowers did not last long.
C. Competitions for women in designing flower hairstyles are popular.
D. Xunpu locals traditionally send out invitation cards with beautiful flowers. 54. Who wears flowers properly according to the passage
A. Lily, 8 years old, decorates her round bun-like hair with fresh flowers.
B. Jenny, 15 years old, wears flowers on both sides of their temples.
C. Anna, 30 years old, decorates her spiral bun with flowers.
D. Amy, 65 years old, wears red headscarf with golden flowers.

①Have you ever been to the Dead Sea, one of the most famous natural wonders in the world Have you ever thought about why it is called Dead Sea Does it hold life Can people swim there With all these questions in your mind, let’s know something about it!
②The Dead Sea is actually a lake in the Middle East. At four hundred meters below sea level, it’s the lowest point on Earth. It lies between the borders of Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. It’s about 80 kilometers long, 11 kilometers wide at its widest point, and 377 meters deep at its deepest. The lake is surrounded by hot, dry desert on all sides.
③Since it’s in a hot desert, water evaporates (蒸发) faster than the lake is refilled. And the area is lower than all the land around, the water can never flow back out, it can only evaporate. And that’s what happens—water continually evaporates. In fact, so much water is evaporating from the Dead Sea, it often looks like there’s a cloud of fog hanging over the lake. Anyway, as the water evaporates, it leaves behind the salt and minerals (矿物质). The water in the Dead Sea is almost six times saltier than ocean water!
④Because the Dead Sea is so salty, almost nothing can live there, except for bacteria and one type of algae. Any fish or freshwater animal that gets washed into the lake dies almost immediately. And the shores are covered in thick salt crystals (结晶), so animals can’t even live near the lake either. That’s why it’s called Dead Sea.
⑤Since it’s so salty, why do people go there to cover themselves from head to toe with its mud Actually, those minerals are supposed to be really good for your skin. No wonder lots of spas and health resorts have been built in the area. Though the water in the Dead Sea is so salty, it is totally safe for people. You can even go swimming there if you want, although it’s pretty hard to swim because all that salt makes it much easier to float! It’s really unbelievable.
⑥Want to know more about it Just explore it yourself!
56. Why does the writer use four questions in the beginning
A. To encourage readers to travel.
B. To interest readers in the Dead Sea.
C. To introduce the popularity of the Dead Sea.
D. To express worries about freshwater animals.
57. What can you learn about the Dead Sea from the passage
A. It’s near the Middle East. B. It’s far from the desert.
C. It’s 80 kilometers wide. D. It’s the lowest point on land.
58. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. How the Dead Sea is formed. B. How the Dead Sea gets so salty.
C. Why fish can’t live in the Dead Sea. D. Why the Dead Sea is like fog.

After winning the silver medal in women’s single figure skating at Beijing 2022, Alexandra Trusova was heard shouting that she hated the sport. The gold medalist, Anna Shcherbakova, said that this has been what I've been working toward every day, but also that she felt “emptiness inside” .

This kind of pressure might be difficult for you to imagine. After all, you probably aren’t an Olympic athlete. But have you ever attached (把 … 附在) your happiness to a far-off goal that you could achieve only at important personal cost, like finishing a degree or making a certain amount of money
Dreams and goals are important because they give us a ruler against which to measure our progress. But progress, not meeting a goal, is what brings true happiness. Researchers have found that satisfaction is brought about not by big wins but rather by making progress in meaningful work.
Some researchers have argued that when a goal is the final point for progress, the stop in forward motion can lead to a feeling of emptiness, which is exactly what Shcherbakova described in Beijing. This doesn’t mean that you should give up all goals, however. You just need to understand and pursue(追求) them in a different way.
Enjoy the journey not the destination（目的地）. Instead of single-mindedly pursuing a goal, focus more on whether you're getting anything out of your progress right now.
Think about the purpose of your goals. The point of a useful goal is to improve your quality of life by changing your day-to-day for the better, not to limp (艰难地移动) across the finish line and stop after a difficult challenge.
Take one step at a time. Researchers have found that frequent ( 频 繁 的 ), small achievements are likely to start a cycle of success and happiness much more than infrequent, big ones. Make sure you can break your long-term goals into smaller tasks. Enjoy the daily and weekly achievements that you know are leading you down the road to success.
65. Did Alexandra Trusova win gold medal in women's single figure skating at Beijing 2022
66. According to the passage, what may lead to a feeling of emptiness
67. How can you go for your dream positively according to the passage
68. What is your goal right now How can you achieve it (at least 2 ways to achieve it)

Try to think of a major that will keep you h 76 in the long run. For example, if you like animals, you could think about vet (兽医) school. If you like art, you could be a designer.
Get advice.
Another way to narrow down your choices is to know more about the major by asking people who are now in the position you may apply(申请) for. You can ask them: How did you get to where you are today What licenses or designations (称号) would be the most helpful Do you enjoy what you do Asking current professionals about the position will better 77 you for your future.
Talk to your school counselor(顾问).
Another source of advice is your school counselor. They sometimes help students with such problems as which classes to take or how many credits (学分) are needed in each course. A counselor may even mention a college fair or a career fair(职业介绍会). If you are able to 78 one, be sure to take your copies of your resume(简历) or school reports. You may need to prepare for quick interviews there 79 you never know when you may come across something worth exploring further. While at the fair, you should meet and talk to people there as 80 as possible and follow up with any potential recruiters (招聘人员).
It's OK to not know.
If you are still uncertain, it is fine to start college with an undecided major. There are some colleges that give you the chance to take different kinds of classes 81 making a decision. Understand what a specific major is going to give you in the professional field outside of school.
