Last Friday, a fabulous painting exhibition themed “Vigor and Vitality” was held in the art hall, which
turned out to be a great success.
Various painting styles were exhibited. One highlight was an oil painting featuring a pretty blind girl
with a sun flower in her hand, which greatly showed the girl’s tough mentality—to fight against darkness
with strong determination. Also of primary note was a sketch portraying a disabled boy who was pondering
{#{QQABTYYAoggoAIAAABgCQQFwCEAQkBEACCoGBAAMMAAAyQFABCA=}#}
over something with a resolute look. Especially amazing was an ink wash paining, which showed a vast

One possible version:
My sister Anne is an expert at cooking! I thought. She knows how to steam, deep-fry, stirfry, bake,
mash, and many other cool things. She is a master with her ingredients, able to magically produce
marvellous treats in an instant. Inspired, I approached her and sought advice. She readily agreed, promising
to start that very evening. Over the next few days, she lectured me on how to flip the pan and how to use
the pans and stoves in the kitchen. Next, she taught me the types of ingredients that mix well together,
which ones add exciting contrasts, and how to make the flavours burst in one’s mouth.
After studying with Anne for a few months, I attempted once again to impress my parents. This time, I
was even more ambitious, cooking a special dish—a medium-rare steak. The pan finally cooperated in my
hands, and as the steak was ready, I sprayed the seasonings onto it, instantly filling the air with inviting
aroma. Still feeling nervous, I cautiously presented the steak to my parents. They gave me another skeptical
glance, then carefully sliced through the steak and tasted it. I saw their eyes widen in surprise as they began
to savor the steak slowly.As they finished the steak, they exclaimed with smiles, "Wow, Daniel! How did
you become such a good cook " A smile spread across my face as I remembered all the times I had
practiced cooking with my sister.

Thank you all for being here today. For those who don’t know me, I’m Paul, the eldest son of Mary’s
five children. (17) (18) (19) (20) Today I’m here, to celebrate Mary and everything she’s achieved, on her
60th birthday. Mom was born in England on October 16th, 1961. She returned there, aged 16, to begin
nursing training, which she said was the only thing she ever wanted to do. My grandmother always
said that, even as a small child, she spent most of her time forcing her two brothers to play “patient”
in her “hospital”, (18) and in her school reports, teachers always commented on how caring and
capable she was. (19) She passed her training with excellent performance and started her career as a
registered nurse. She married my dad, Eric, in 1981. I arrived soon after, followed by twins John and
Michael, our sister Belinda, and finally, George. (20) As a mother, she was endlessly kind and a huge
amount of fun! And she hasn’t changed. Now that she’s retired, she enjoys traveling, playing with her three
granddaughters, and has even taken up flying lessons!

Ireland: The Emerald Isle
Travelling in the Republic of Ireland is like stepping into a vivid painting where lush green landscapes meet charming villages.
Dublin
Start exploring in Dublin, Ireland’s capital, which blends the old and new. The city is steeped in history, and you can enjoy its past at landmarks like Trinity College, founded in 1592. It’s home to the Book of Kells, a medieval（中世纪的）masterpiece. After that, take a walk around Dublin Castle, a symbol of Ireland’s historical power. Then head to The Temple Bar, with its cobblestone streets and lively pubs, to experience Dublin’s contemporary culture.
Ring of Kerry
The Ring of Kerry, 1,179-kilometer circular route, showcases Ireland’s beauty. You’ll encounter green meadows, peaceful lakes and dramatic coastal cliffs. Each turn in the road reveals breathtaking views that will leave you in awe.
Cliffs of Moher
You can’t say you’ve been to Ireland if you haven’t checked out the Cliffs of Moher. These towering cliffs on the west coast rise from the Atlantic Ocean, reaching heights of over 200 meters. The sheer size of the cliffs and the roaring waves below create a fascinating and humbling experience.
Inishmore
Take a ferry to Inishmore, one of the rugged Aran Islands. Upon your arrival, you will immediately notice the hard life of the local people. At first there was no soil on the island, so over the centuries, they made their own—from seaweed and sand. Now about 2,400 kilometers of rock walls spread around the land. Take a tour or ride a bike around the island. Then enjoy an Irish coffee before heading back to the mainland.
What can you probably see in the Ring of Kerry
Some historical landmarks and old castles of Ireland.
A circular route with views of lakes, meadows and cliffs.
The special soil made from seaweed and sand by local people.
The towering cliffs on the west coast from the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the best way of traveling around on the island of Inishmore
By plane. B. By ferry. C. By subway. D. By bike.
What is the text
A travel journal.
A research paper.
A travel brochure.
An autobiography.

Every afternoon for the past 11 years, 83-year-old AI Merritt has been a reliable and cheery presence in his southeast Carlsbad neighbourhood, California.
His wife, Penny Merritt said her husband’s doctor suggested he get more exercise after he had some heart trouble about 12 years ago. When their son, Kevin brought a bike to his parents’ house, AI started to pedal around the local road and hills. At first, his rides were about five miles long, then 10 to 12 miles, and gradually the length of his outings grew due to all the social stops—from an hour to two hours.
Since 2010, Merritt has been on a personal pursuit to cycle the circumference ( 周 长 ) of the earth—24,901 miles without even leaving his own neighbourhood. As a result, over the years, he got to know many of his neighbours and send them message of love and kindness. Judy Keene, one of his neighbours, has been waving to Merritt on his daily rides for the past five years.
“He is so reliable, like clockwork. Every day I see him flying by on his bike. He is totally cheerful and takes time with everybody,” Keene said. “He inspires so many people and shows everyone how you can be in your 80s and still have a good time.”
It was not until October 24 that the old man finally realized his daily bicycle trips were as important to them as they were to him. At 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, nearly 200 people gathered near his home to surprise and congratulate him on the completion of his “round- the-world” adventure. As he pedaled down the hill towards his house, a roar erupted from the crowd waving international flags, hand-painted signs and Earth-shaped balloons. The outpouring of love stunned and overwhelmed Merritt.
“It’s just unbelievable. I couldn’t have imagined anything like this ever happening,” he said. Although Merritt has now accomplished his cycling goal, he has no plans to change the routine that has become the highlight of his daily life.
Why did old AI Merritt start to cycle
He has always been an athletic person.
His son Kevin brought him a new bike.
He wanted to send love and kindness to others.
He was advised to work out for the sake of his health.
The underlined phrase “social stops” in the second paragraph probably means .
Merritt stopped to help those in need.
Merritt tried to help build stops for social use.
Merritt had interactions with his neighbours.
Merritt was stopped for some social reasons.
What can we learn about AI Merritt in the text
His trips mattered more to his neighbours than to him.
He was warmly congratulated on his completion of the plan.
He will keep on cycling on a different route as he has planned.
He accomplished his goal of cycling 24,901 miles around the earth.
Which of the following can best describe AI Merritt
A.Diligent and determined. B.Optimistic and selfless.
C.Ambitious and romantic. D.Kind and inspirational.
C
Last year, an estimated one in seven Americans participated in Dry January, a challenge to avoid alcohol for a month. The idea is to keep away from holiday excess and start the new year on a healthier note. The annual 31-day practice began as a public health campaign in the United Kingdom about eight years ago and has been growing ever since.
Dry January is a great strategy for improving your relationship with alcohol, says Keith Heinzerling, MD, an internist (内科医生) and addiction medicine specialist. “Doing a ‘trial quit’ for a short period of time is easier for many people than going straight to total abstinence,” he says. “Taking time away from drinking, even just for a few weeks, gives you a fresh perspective and the opportunity to break bad habits you may have with alcohol.”
It doesn’t take long to start to see positive changes, according to Dr. Heinzerling. “Within just a few days of not drinking, your blood pressure and heart rate will be lower, and you’ll have improved blood sugar regulation, better sleep, and less anxiety and depression,” he says. Another bonus: Quitting alcohol often makes other good habits—exercise and healthy eating, for example—easier to start and maintain, which in turn leads to even more health benefits.
For those who might not be able to handle a month of not drinking, Dr. Heinzerling says, “People who wake up with withdrawal symptoms, sweating, tremors, and a strong need for a drink should not do Dry January.”
For everyone—social drinkers and possible problem drinkers—one key to a positive Dry January is to see it not as a month of gritting your teeth and getting through it until you can drink again, but rather the start of a healthier lifestyle overall. What better way to start the new year
What can we learn from the passage about Dry January
Participants are advised to cut out alcohol for a month in January.
It is a campaign in which participants can learn more about alcohol.
It is a challenge which aims to introduce the harm of drinking alcohol.
Participants are advised to take holidays and keep healthy in January.
What does the underlined phrase “total abstinence” in the second paragraph probably mean
Short-time trial quit.
Absolutely no drinking.
Total alcohol addiction.
Long-time relationship.
Which of the following statements is NOT the benefit of Dry January
It has some positive effects on your blood pressure and heart rate.
It can help reduce some mental pressure and improve sleeping quality.
It will definitely help you get rid of the bad habit with alcohol addiction.
You are likely to form other good habits in sports and diets after Dry January.
Which of the following opinion about Dry January will be mostly accepted by the author
“For a brand-new start and healthier life, keep it up.”
“Let me get drunk with friends after the month!”
“Dry January will be followed by a Drunk February.”
“It is a small piece of cake to stop drinking for a month.”

Being bored is no fun, especially at work. But new research out of the Research School of Management at Australian National University argues that while boredom is certainly boring, it isn’t all bad. The disliked mental state can actually spark precious creativity.
The study asked 52 subjects to do a pretty boring job: sort apart a bowl of red and green beans with just one hand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, 49 other subjects—the control group—were instructed to create art projects with paper, beans and glue. Once the 30 minutes was over, each group was instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task: they had to come up with reasons why a hypothetical (假定的) person was two hours late for a meeting.
The bored group came up with not just more ideas than the control group, but more creative ideas than the control group, too. The quality and quantity of production was higher for people who were bored than those who were not. Creativity itself was measured under a standard that balanced novelty and practicality. Ideas had to fit both criteria to be considered creative.
Guiyun Park, the study’s lead author, readily admits that not every type of job permits the fun of boredom, and it can really be harmful to some important work. But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. Sometimes, the best way to be productive is to expect nothing of yourself at all.
What is paragraph 2 mainly about
The process of the research.
The benefits of the research.
The reasons for the research.
The disadvantage of the research.
Which of the following may Guiyun Park disagree with
Boredom can do harm to some work.
All types of jobs can embrace boredom.
Boredom is not always something to fear.
Boredom can be favourable to art designers.
What is the author’s attitude to boredom
Concerned. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
Which of the following can be the best title for this passage
The Role of Boredom in Increasing Productivity
The Negative Impact of Boredom on the Workplace
Why Boredom Should Be Avoided in Creative Fields
Unlocking Creativity: The Unexpected Benefit of Boredom

How many hours of sleep are really necessary 37 Teens need eight to 10, and adults need seven to nine hours nightly.
38 Suppose you require eight hours of sleep a night, but for one week, you only slept six hours nightly. As a result, you developed a cumulative sleep debt of 14 hours.
As sleep debt accumulates, it impacts us in many ways including memory loss, immune function and stroke. 39 Though afternoon naps and extra weekend sleep can help relieve some tiredness, the healthiest course of action is to get a good night’s sleep every night.
There are many ways to create a healthy sleep routine. Maintain a restful environment in the bedroom by keeping it quiet, dark and cool. 40 That will make you feel physically comfortable in the first place. If you don’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, then try listening to relaxing music. Finally, think of enough sleep as preventive medicine and make it a priority.
It’s not hard to calculate your sleep debt.
Keep anything that might disturb you outside the bedroom.
Many prefer a temperature of around 18 degrees Celsius for sleep.
With a healthy sleep routine, you can get sufficient rest and protect your health.
It has also been known to contribute to heart disease, obesity, diabetes and more.
According to the Mayo Clinic, school-age children require nine to 12 hours a night.
But researchers report that it takes longer than we think to replace missing hours of sleep.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sizzle, sizzle（咝咝声）! The egg bubbled（冒泡）on the frying pan. I watched as its edges turned slightly brown then a bit black. Unfortunately, my head was stuck in the clouds, wondering if my parents would like my first attempt at cooking. I tried something simple, as I was still learning this new skill. When will the pots and pans respond to my call How can I master steaming, boiling, frying, and the types of ingredients
“Ah! No! My egg!” I shouted.
I quickly turned off the stove and slid（滑到）the blackened egg onto a plate. The color contrasted with the beautiful egg I had seen on YouTube previously. Mine looked nothing like the one online. Again, I wondered if my parents would appreciate the egg.
I split the egg right down the middle, hoping to see the yolk（蛋黄）flow out. To my disappointment, I discovered a firm yolk inside. I let out a frustrated sigh, turned and walked out of the kitchen with the plate in my hands.
At first, my parents were relatively pleased that the egg looked more or less like what they had imagined. But when they put it into their mouths, they tried to hide their discomfort. My Mom forced out a smile as she swallowed the egg.
“Good attempt Daniel!” she exclaimed cheerfully. “It tastes delicious!” my Dad added in.
I could visibly see that their faces were twisted（扭曲）in disgust. It was painfully obvious that my egg
tasted horrible.
“It’s fine,” I sighed. “I know the egg tastes bad.”
Disappointed, I trudged（ 费力地走） back into my room, unable to contain the feelings of failure bursting inside of me.
Don’t give up! I told myself. This is only your first attempt and if you persevere, you will surely improve!
With determination burning in me again, I turned on my laptop and searched for any cooking techniques I needed to master in order to cook. YouTube videos gave me a bit of reference, but I needed to seek advice.
