（22-23七年级下·上海静安·期中）Do you shop online with websites like Taobao The money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller. I 1 , it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you r 2 your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.
The process is called “third party online payment”. There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and b 3 to make online shopping safe. Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving n 4 . Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very h 5 . That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks.

But WeChat payment is not the same. When paying through WeChat, the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers. That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and h 6 out “red envelopes” or gift money to their friends on WeChat.
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment, they are all trying to a 7 more users and make online shopping easier. New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.

Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you mustn’t touch anything. But the Science Museum is not the same and it’s n 14 !

On the g 16 floor is the Launchpad. It is my favourite room because there are lots of physics experiments.

In one room you can know how X-ray let you see inside your body. And in another room you can e 19 find out how they dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy.

In general, turtles can live to be more than 100 years old. But now, many of my fellow(同伴) turtles are dying b 27 of one thing: plastic.

Topic for teenager forum (青少年论坛)
If you could add one subject at your school, what would it be Why
Justin
I would suggest adding sign language (手语). Not many people know how to communicate with those who have hearing p 40 . It would be very helpful if we could start to learn sign language when we are y 41 . This would teach us to treat those who are less lucky with respect.
William
A subject that gives students a better understanding of t 42 . According to some surveys, many middle school students don’t have a dream. A person w 43 a dream is like a ship sailing without a compass (指南针). Students who can discover their strengths and weaknesses will have more confidence and power in life.
Lucy
It would be a time-management class. Nowadays, many students are addicted (上瘾的) to their smartphones and other kinds of electronic devices. For example, they sleep l 44 because they can’t balance their studies with gaming. A time-management class will help students lead a healthy life.
Ben
Self-defense. This would be useful when someone is in a situation where he n 45 to protect himself. You may argue that P.E. lessons are enough, but we surely need to have new lessons to learn some skills of self-defense.

（20-21七年级下·上海虹口·期中）Fill the blanks with a proper word. The first letter is given.
If you are reading this article in class, you are trying to read it quickly. You have learned to skim and scan. You will look for key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the i 46 points in the article. Skimming and scanning is a good way in a limited lime, such as when you are taking an exam. However, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading. Something called “the slow reading movement” has become popular to solve the problem. The idea is that people turn off their computers and mobile phones for over half an hour each day and enjoy the h 47 of reading a good book—slowly! In many cities there are e 48 slow reading clubs where members go to a bar, not to discuss books, but to sit quietly with each other, drink coffee and just read. Scientists finds that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people empathize. This point is essential. When you read a novel slowly, you get to understand the characters’ emotions and to see the world through their eyes.
Reading, of course, isn’t easy. You must sit still for one thing. It can seem b 49 when compared to the excitement of playing video games. For me, reading has been an endless pleasure in my life. From the age of
ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyed the company of heroes, evil criminals and clever detectives, of thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life. Reading p 50 me with escape, but it also makes me understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
In class, you have learned to read “fast”. After class, you should try to learn to read “slow”. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
（19-20七年级下·上海浦东新·期中）It’s not easy for us to forgive（原谅）someone who has ever hurt you or made you disappointed.
H 51 , several new studies say that it could be good for your health. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as a healthy or medical problem. On the other hand, studies p 52 that something like anger can change your well-being（身心状况）. When cartoon characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often get special power. In the real w 53 , anger is less obvious. Scientists say anger can be harmful to your p 54 and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea. The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression.
They also have fewer headaches, l 55 blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping. So it doesn’t m 56 if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Ways such as d 57 breath can help you a lot, or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that your simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
