Self-reflection (反省) Makes You a Better Learner
Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning. 1
Self-reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By calming down and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has received. 2 Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method works, depending on your own personal learning—You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.
Choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. 3 Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. 4 Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.
5 Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
A．Think about things that you are not sure of.
B．So it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.

阅读一篇短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白出的最佳选项，每个选项只能用一次。
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, while a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. In fact, there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
Here are some tips (贴士) for you.
11
We all remember the things we are interested in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This explains the reason why school—boys remember football results easily but struggle (挣扎) with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember. 12
Repeat things in chunks (块).
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time, for example, remembering a phone number for a few seconds. 13 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in “groups” or “chunks” repeatedly, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
Invent a story.
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When they were tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. 14
Take physical exercise.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate (心率) and sends more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 15 . As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A．Take an interest.
B．Exercise also lowers stress.
C．The test result was really amazing!
D．One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more, the better!
E．Grouping numbers may help you to remember them.
【答案】11．A 12．D 13．E 14．C 15．B
【导语】本文介绍了提高记忆力的四个小技巧：培养兴趣，分组记忆，编故事和做运动。
11．根据“We all remember the things we are interested in…Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.”可知，我们总是可以记住自己感兴趣的东西，因此该段介绍的提高记忆力的方式是培养兴趣。A选项“培养兴趣”符合，故选A。
12．根据“Develop an active interest in what you want to remember”可知，此处提到了让自己感兴趣的方法是什么，D选项“让自己更感兴趣的一个方法就是问问题——越多越好”符合，故选D。
13．根据下文“remembering a phone number for a few seconds…”和“But look at them in ‘groups’ or ‘chunks’ repeatedly, and it becomes much easier”可知，是拿记住一个电话号码做例子建议我们给数字分组，这样记起来就比较容易。E选项“把数字分组可以帮助你记住它们”符合，故选E。
14．根据空前“When they were tested later, they could remember about 90% of them”可知，利用作者介绍的方法，结果有90%的人们可以记住这些单词，这个结果是惊人的。C选项“测试结果相当惊人”符合，故选C。
15．根据“As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.”可知此处提到了压力，B选项“锻炼也可以降低压力”符合，故选B。
D
What is honesty Many children think honesty means you “don’t tell a lie”. Speaking the truth is a big part of being honest. But honesty means more than “not lying”. 16 If you have to hide what you are doing because you are trying to trick(欺骗) someone, you probably aren’t being honest. 17
Honesty is speaking the truth. Saying things that aren’t true, or that you think might not be true, or that you are making up to hide the truth means you are lying. 18 You are not honest if you say something that happened in one way when it really happened in another way.
When you do something you know is wrong, or when you have to hide something because you know it is wrong, you are not honest. 19 It includes not breaking rules to gain(获得) an advantage, and not taking something that isn’t yours and so on.
Part of honesty is what you say and how you act towards others. 20 Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true. This part of honesty includes when you are trying to convince(说服) yourself you didn’t really do something wrong, or it wasn’t that bad, even though you know it was.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．Honesty means your actions are truthful too.
B．But another part is whether you treat yourself in the same way.
C．In simple words, honesty is about both speaking and acting truthfully.
D．You are not honest when lying because you are saying something that isn’t true.
E．Being honest means you act in a way that you know is right.
【答案】16．A 17．C 18．D 19．E 20．B
【导语】本文主要阐述了诚实是什么以及做人要诚实。
16．根据“If you have to hide what you are doing because you are trying to trick(欺骗) someone, you probably aren’t being honest.”和“But honesty means more than “not lying”.可知，阐述诚实不仅是不说谎言，更要行为也要诚实；选项A“诚实意味着你的行为也是真实的。”符合语境；故选A。
17．根据“If you have to hide what you are doing because you are trying to trick(欺骗) someone, you probably aren’t being honest.”结合此处是第一段最后一句可知此处应是对前面作总结，选项C“简而言之，诚实就是诚实地说话和行事。”符合语境；故选C。
18．根据“Honesty is speaking the truth. Saying things that aren’t true, or that you think might not be true, or that you are making up to hide the truth means you are lying”可知这里说的都是关于撒谎的事情，选项D“你撒谎的时候是不诚实的，因为你说的不是真的。”符合语境；故选D。
19．根据“It includes not breaking rules to gain(获得) an advantage, and not taking something that isn’t yours and so on.”（它包括不违反规则以获得优势，不拿不属于你的东西等等。）可知此处说的是诚实的行为，选项E“诚实意味着你以你知道正确的方式行事。”符合语境；故选E。
20．根据“Part of honesty is what you say and how you act towards others...Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true. ”可知此处讲述了不仅对其他人的诚实，还有对自己要诚实，选项B“但另一部分是你是否以同样的方式对待自己。”符合语境；故选B。

In our life, we all try to get better every day. We all set dreams in our life.
To win the life race, we work hard and with the time we finally achieve it. 21 It is all right and it should be in that way.
But our happiness lasts for a very short time when we start comparing the things with others. 22 If today you are happy just because you have more than others, then be ready to lose your happiness because it will start disappearing when you see someone else having more than you. 23 But it will only take a few days to end your feeling of joy if it is based on (根据) what others have.
Actually you can never compare yourself with others. You may know yourself completely. You may know what you have and how you got that. But you can never know what someone else has and how he got that. You can compare one factor (要素) but you never even know other factors. 24 Respect every one for what he is and love yourself for whatever you are.
If you still want to compare, compare with yourself. 25 Keep yourself growing without comparing them to anyone else. It is good to get inspired from someone you think is better than you. But do not get caught by comparison.
Always remember that you are the only you. Just like everyone else.

22．根据“But our happiness lasts for a very short time when we start comparing the things with others.”可知，空处应表达当我们和别人比时，快乐持续时间短的原因，选项B“我们都想要超过别人。”符合语境。故选B。
23．根据“But it will only take a few days to end your feeling of joy if it is based on what others have.”可知，“but”表示转折，空处应表达花了很长时间实现目标，感到快乐。选项E“你花了数月或者数年才得到现在的位置。”符合语境。故选E。
24．根据“You can compare one factor but you never even know other factors.”可知，你和别人比的只能是某个要素，而不是全面的。选项C“你所看到的永远不是全部的事情。”符合语境。故选C。

The key to dealing with test-day jitters (紧张不安) is through preparation! 26 It is important to prepare your mind and body before the test for the experience of working under pressure.
Get some sleep.
I know you have heard this before, but it is often repeated because it is so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don’t have enough rest, you will end up with less concentration. 27
Leave early.
Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 28 The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.
29
Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet place where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office. Once you locate a cozy nest in a quiet place, enjoy a relaxing period yourself. Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take a deep breath and remain calm.

【导语】本文介绍了应对考试日焦躁的关键是做好准备！但是，充分的准备不仅仅意味着了解考试材料。因此作者就如何使你的头脑和身体为考试做好准备提出了一些建议。
26．根据“The key to dealing with test-day jitters is through preparation”可知，应对考试日焦躁的关键是准备；再根据空后“It is important to prepare your mind and body before the test for the experience of working under pressure.”可知，考试之前，让你的头脑和身体准备好在压力下工作是很重要的；因此第1空既要与前句保持转折关系，又要引出下文；E项“但是，充分的准备不仅仅意味着了解考试材料。”符合语境。故选E。

Suppose you were to write the sentence: 31 You are not fully satisfied with it because the word “run” is not enough to describe how hurried you felt at that moment. But where can you find a more suitable word
32 It can help you find the most suitable word to express your ideas. As for the sentence above, “fly” might be a better choice than “run”: I must fly or I’ll miss the last bus. With the help of a thesaurus, you can easily improve your writing.
However, you must be careful when you are using a thesaurus. 33 Just as Mark Twain once put it, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning (闪电) and a lightning bug (萤火虫).” You’d better have an English dictionary on hand whenever you are using a thesaurus. 34
Using all kinds of words to express your idea will make your writing more interesting. 35 As long as you use it properly, a thesaurus can be a great tool.

35．根据上文“Using all kinds of words to express your idea will make your writing more interesting.”可知，写作中，用各种各样的词来表达你的想法会使你的文章更有趣；再根据下文“As long as you use it properly, a thesaurus can be a great tool.”可知，同义词词典可以是一个很好的工具；由此推知，此处是叙述同义词词典的好处；E项“这也会帮助你和你的听众更清楚地交流。”符合，故选E。

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students Just look around you—it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted according to the BBC． Experts say books and video games are not to blame. 41
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. 42 And guess what scientists have just discovered Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia—only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore. “ 43 They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
“ 44 As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” Morgan explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized”.
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. 45
A．But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes.
B．This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
C．Children in East Asia just go to school, go home and stay inside.
D．The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape.
E．East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
【答案】41．E 42．D 43．C 44．A 45．B
【导语】本文主要讲述了多在户外运动可以帮助孩子们预防近视。
41．由前句“Experts say books and video games are not to blame”可知，此句是在解释书籍和电子游戏不是罪魁祸首，罪魁祸首是得不到阳光/户外锻炼。E项“他们说东亚的孩子得不到足够的阳光”符合语境，故选E。
42．由前句“People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly.”可知，此句与眼睛的近视原因有关。D项“人体可以产生一种叫做多巴胺的化学物质来阻止眼球变形”符合语境，故选D。
43．由后句“They study and they watch television”可知，此句是在说东亚的学生很少进行户外活动。C项“东亚的孩子只是去上学，回家，然后待在家里”符合语境，故选C。
44．后文主要讲述只要孩子们在户外多活动，眼睛都不会有太大问题，所以此句是在说仅仅努力学习或者多看电视是不会造成近视的。A项“但是成为一个书虫或者爱看电视的孩子不会直接伤害眼睛”符合语境，故选A。
45．由前句“Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day”可知，此句与在户外停留的时间有关。B项“这包括花在操场上的时间和步行往返学校的时间”符合语境，故选B。

In 1997, Lottie Williams was walking through a park in Oklahoma, USA, with her friends. 61 She picked the object up. It was about as heavy as a tennis ball. Later, scientists told her it was a piece of a DeltaⅡrocket that had been used to launch a satellite (发射卫星).
62 We use satellites to send and receive TV and radio signals (信号). to report the weather and for many other things. But when they become old or break down, we just leave them there. They become space junk.
Scientists think there are about 16. 000 objects larger than 10 centimeters wide flying around the Earth, and tens of millions of smaller objects too. 63 That’s fast! And it’s their speed that makes these pieces of space junk really dangerous. If one small piece of space junk hits something at high speed, it can do a lot of harm. 64 But in 2009, an old Russian satellite hit an American satellite and created 2,000 pieces of space junk!
Pieces of space junk enter the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层). again. Lottie Williams is perhaps the only person who has been hit. Most space junk burns up and doesn’t reach the Earth’s surface. 65 It made a hole in the ground 30 centimeters deep and over 3. 3 meters wide. Lottie was lucky she wasn’t hit by it!

Winter Games promote a shared future
The opening ceremony(仪式) of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games showed that life is endless against the background of the COVID-I9 pandemic(疫情), which is yet to be effectively(有效地) contained(容纳) worldwide. From the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, from the preparations for the Games to venue(会场) designs and holding of the events, from the participation(参加) of athletes to the valuable services of volunteers, the Beijing Winter Olympic, and Paralympic Games(残奥会) were an exercise in building a community with a shared future for mankind(人类) .
Indeed, the Beijing Winter Games represented lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, which are what a community with a shared future for mankind is all about. 66 It was the first major(重要的) global(全球的) sporting event to be held on schedule(按时) since the pandemic broke out and conveyed(转达) the message, “I am safe if you are safe”.
67 For example, it took the United States, Canada and European countries about 50 years to develop the ice and snow sports industry, but China has formed a basic winter sports industrial ecosystem in just five years. The realization of the goal of driving 300 million people to take up ice and snow sports will help more people understand and enjoy winter sports and create business chances for the winter sports and related(相关的) service industries.
68 That Beijing’s “Water Cube” became the world’s first national aquatics center(水立方) to be transformed(改变) into an “Ice Cube” shows how China kept new constructions to the barest minimum(最低限度) to prevent carbon emissions(碳排放). Similarly, the Capital Gymnasium was changed from a volleyball venue to a winter sports center, and the Wukesong Sports Center was changed from a basketball venue to an ice sports center in six hours. 69
The Beijing Winter Games also ensured fair competition, promoted solidarity and fraternity in line with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. Gu Ailing, for instance, who won two gold medals and a silver medal, expressed her gratitude to both the Chinese and the US teams because she lives in the United States but represented China at the Games. 70
And the establishment of a future-oriented(面向未来), multi-level(多层次) and open Olympic culture communication system, consisting of “school sports, community sports, urban system, Olympic Games and Olympic culture dissemination”, will help build a community with a shared future for mankind.
A．The Beijing Winter Games also heralded (预示) a new era(时代).
B．Many other venues were changed in the same way to ensure(确保) the 2008 Summer Games venues were put to sustainable(可持续的) use.
C．More important, she said that she would use sports as a uniting(团结) force(力量) between countries.

Self-reflection (反省) Makes You a Better Learner
Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning. 1
Self-reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By calming down and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has received. 2 Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method works, depending on your own personal learning—You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.
Choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. 3 Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. 4 Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.
5 Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
A．Think about things that you are not sure of.
B．So it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.
C．Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.
D．Look for time when you complete a unit of study.
E．Some people prefer to do self-reflection only in their mind.

My friends and I were at a concert and I was really hungry so I bought a hot dog. When I got back to my seat, one of my favourite songs was on and I got a bit excited. I started dancing, but as I danced, the sausage (香肠) flew out of my hot dog and next time I looked it was on the head of the woman in front of me! 7 Red-faced rate (脸红指数) : **
My best friend invited me to her family party. I was a bit nervous because I hadn’t met them before. I was in the kitchen talking to her mother when I decided to help myself to some food. I took a spoon and took a bite of some meat from the nearest dish. 8 What I’d just eaten was dog food! That was the first and last time I went to her parties. Red-faced rate: ***
It was break time at school and I was talking to my friends. One of them looked over the road and said, “Hey, look at that old lady.

阅读一篇短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白出的最佳选项，每个选项只能用一次。
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, while a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. In fact, there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
Here are some tips (贴士) for you.
11
We all remember the things we are interested in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This explains the reason why school—boys remember football results easily but struggle (挣扎) with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember. 12
Repeat things in chunks (块).
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time, for example, remembering a phone number for a few seconds. 13 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in “groups” or “chunks” repeatedly, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
Invent a story.
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When they were tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. 14
Take physical exercise.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate (心率) and sends more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 15 . As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A．Take an interest.
B．Exercise also lowers stress.
C．The test result was really amazing!
D．One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more, the better!
E．Grouping numbers may help you to remember them.
D
What is honesty Many children think honesty means you “don’t tell a lie”. Speaking the truth is a big part of being honest. But honesty means more than “not lying”. 16 If you have to hide what you are doing because you are trying to trick(欺骗) someone, you probably aren’t being honest. 17
Honesty is speaking the truth. Saying things that aren’t true, or that you think might not be true, or that you are making up to hide the truth means you are lying. 18 You are not honest if you say something that happened in one way when it really happened in another way.
When you do something you know is wrong, or when you have to hide something because you know it is wrong, you are not honest. 19 It includes not breaking rules to gain(获得) an advantage, and not taking something that isn’t yours and so on.
Part of honesty is what you say and how you act towards others. 20 Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true. This part of honesty includes when you are trying to convince(说服) yourself you didn’t really do something wrong, or it wasn’t that bad, even though you know it was.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．Honesty means your actions are truthful too.
B．But another part is whether you treat yourself in the same way.
C．In simple words, honesty is about both speaking and acting truthfully.
D．You are not honest when lying because you are saying something that isn’t true.
E．Being honest means you act in a way that you know is right.

In our life, we all try to get better every day. We all set dreams in our life.
To win the life race, we work hard and with the time we finally achieve it. 21 It is all right and it should be in that way.
But our happiness lasts for a very short time when we start comparing the things with others. 22 If today you are happy just because you have more than others, then be ready to lose your happiness because it will start disappearing when you see someone else having more than you. 23 But it will only take a few days to end your feeling of joy if it is based on (根据) what others have.
Actually you can never compare yourself with others. You may know yourself completely. You may know what you have and how you got that. But you can never know what someone else has and how he got that. You can compare one factor (要素) but you never even know other factors. 24 Respect every one for what he is and love yourself for whatever you are.
If you still want to compare, compare with yourself. 25 Keep yourself growing without comparing them to anyone else. It is good to get inspired from someone you think is better than you. But do not get caught by comparison.
Always remember that you are the only you. Just like everyone else.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．We become happy and celebrate it.
B．We all want to get ahead among others.
C．What you see is not always the whole thing.
D．Think what you’ve done better today than you did yesterday.
E．You spent months or may be even years to get where you are.
F
The key to dealing with test-day jitters (紧张不安) is through preparation! 26 It is important to prepare your mind and body before the test for the experience of working under pressure.
Get some sleep.
I know you have heard this before, but it is often repeated because it is so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don’t have enough rest, you will end up with less concentration. 27
Leave early.
Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 28 The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.
29
Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet place where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office. Once you locate a cozy nest in a quiet place, enjoy a relaxing period yourself. Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take a deep breath and remain calm.
30
It is possible that some students start to stress out as other students discuss the material. When you hear others chatting, it might sound like your miss something important or you misunderstood a concept (概念). It is probably not even true — but it can seem like it!

A．Take a quiet moment.
B．A sleepy brain is a foggy brain.
C．Attending an exam late is the thing you should never do.
D．Don’t talk with other students in the minutes before a test.
E．But full preparation means more than knowing the test material (材料).
G
Suppose you were to write the sentence: 31 You are not fully satisfied with it because the word “run” is not enough to describe how hurried you felt at that moment. But where can you find a more suitable word
32 It can help you find the most suitable word to express your ideas. As for the sentence above, “fly” might be a better choice than “run”: I must fly or I’ll miss the last bus. With the help of a thesaurus, you can easily improve your writing.
However, you must be careful when you are using a thesaurus. 33 Just as Mark Twain once put it, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning (闪电) and a lightning bug (萤火虫).” You’d better have an English dictionary on hand whenever you are using a thesaurus. 34
Using all kinds of words to express your idea will make your writing more interesting. 35 As long as you use it properly, a thesaurus can be a great tool.

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students Just look around you—it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted according to the BBC． Experts say books and video games are not to blame. 41
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. 42 And guess what scientists have just discovered Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia—only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore. “ 43 They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
“ 44 As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” Morgan explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized”.
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. 45
A．But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes.
B．This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
C．Children in East Asia just go to school, go home and stay inside.
D．The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape.
E．East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.

Lion dancing is a traditional Chinese dance form. 46 People believe lion dancing can drive away bad luck.
I am What I am(《雄狮少年》) is a film about lion dancing. It focuses on three teenagers from Guangdong, who try to find their true selves through the dance. 47 They are bullied(欺负) by other teenagers, who call them things like “sick cat”, “skinny (骨瘦如柴) monkey” and “fat pig”. 48 One day, they decide to join a lion dance competition. They make up their minds to get rid of those labels(标签), training hard and facing challenges with courage.
I was especially moved by the part where the boys try to prove themselves and make great efforts to achieve the goal. 49 As the Chinese poet Li Bai wrote, “Heaven has made us talents; we’re not made in vain(徒劳).” 50 No one is born to be bullied or laughed at. Do not underestimate (低估) yourself. And don’t let anyone else underestimate you either.

When we talk about “storytelling”, many of us may think of a parent who is reading a fairy tale to their child. 56 The movies we watch, the novels we read and even the jokes we tell are all based on telling stories. It seems to be one of the most exciting things people can do.
57 Just for fun Well, not exactly! Good stories can take us on a journey. They give us a chance to know about the places we have never been to. 58 The information in the stories might be useful and educational for us in the future.
We admire people who are good at telling stories. As important members of many societies, they are able to draw people’s attention and imagination with their excellent skills. In the past, they often travelled a lot and went far away. 59
In cultures around the world, important stories have been passed down from generation (一代人) to generation. These stories reflect the knowledge and wisdom (智慧) of the people in the past. 60 Our stories have become part of our tradition and they reflect who we are.

In 1997, Lottie Williams was walking through a park in Oklahoma, USA, with her friends. 61 She picked the object up. It was about as heavy as a tennis ball. Later, scientists told her it was a piece of a DeltaⅡrocket that had been used to launch a satellite (发射卫星).
62 We use satellites to send and receive TV and radio signals (信号). to report the weather and for many other things. But when they become old or break down, we just leave them there. They become space junk.
Scientists think there are about 16. 000 objects larger than 10 centimeters wide flying around the Earth, and tens of millions of smaller objects too. 63 That’s fast! And it’s their speed that makes these pieces of space junk really dangerous. If one small piece of space junk hits something at high speed, it can do a lot of harm. 64 But in 2009, an old Russian satellite hit an American satellite and created 2,000 pieces of space junk!
Pieces of space junk enter the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层). again. Lottie Williams is perhaps the only person who has been hit. Most space junk burns up and doesn’t reach the Earth’s surface. 65 It made a hole in the ground 30 centimeters deep and over 3. 3 meters wide. Lottie was lucky she wasn’t hit by it!

根据短文内容，将下面方框中的句子还原到文章当中，使短文内容完整。请将答案编号涂卡。
Winter Games promote a shared future
The opening ceremony(仪式) of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games showed that life is endless against the background of the COVID-I9 pandemic(疫情), which is yet to be effectively(有效地) contained(容纳) worldwide. From the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, from the preparations for the Games to venue(会场) designs and holding of the events, from the participation(参加) of athletes to the valuable services of volunteers, the Beijing Winter Olympic, and Paralympic Games(残奥会) were an exercise in building a community with a shared future for mankind(人类) .
Indeed, the Beijing Winter Games represented lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, which are what a community with a shared future for mankind is all about. 66 It was the first major(重要的) global(全球的) sporting event to be held on schedule(按时) since the pandemic broke out and conveyed(转达) the message, “I am safe if you are safe”.
67 For example, it took the United States, Canada and European countries about 50 years to develop the ice and snow sports industry, but China has formed a basic winter sports industrial ecosystem in just five years. The realization of the goal of driving 300 million people to take up ice and snow sports will help more people understand and enjoy winter sports and create business chances for the winter sports and related(相关的) service industries.
68 That Beijing’s “Water Cube” became the world’s first national aquatics center(水立方) to be transformed(改变) into an “Ice Cube” shows how China kept new constructions to the barest minimum(最低限度) to prevent carbon emissions(碳排放). Similarly, the Capital Gymnasium was changed from a volleyball venue to a winter sports center, and the Wukesong Sports Center was changed from a basketball venue to an ice sports center in six hours. 69
The Beijing Winter Games also ensured fair competition, promoted solidarity and fraternity in line with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. Gu Ailing, for instance, who won two gold medals and a silver medal, expressed her gratitude to both the Chinese and the US teams because she lives in the United States but represented China at the Games. 70
And the establishment of a future-oriented(面向未来), multi-level(多层次) and open Olympic culture communication system, consisting of “school sports, community sports, urban system, Olympic Games and Olympic culture dissemination”, will help build a community with a shared future for mankind.
A．The Beijing Winter Games also heralded (预示) a new era(时代).
B．Many other venues were changed in the same way to ensure(确保) the 2008 Summer Games venues were put to sustainable(可持续的) use.
C．More important, she said that she would use sports as a uniting(团结) force(力量) between countries.
D．The organizers presented(呈现) a safe, simple and yet impressive Winter Games.
E．The Beijing Winter Games also highlighted(突出) the importance of low-carbon(低碳的) and sustainable development.

Fights at school sometimes happen. 71 Here’s something you can do.
Be calm (冷静). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. 72 Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved(卷入)in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. 73
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack (袭击), turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. 74 If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
Learn to refuse. Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. 75 Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
A．There are no winners in a fight.
B．But being angry can’t solve problems.
C．But how can you keep away from a fight
