Researchers (研究者) in Germany found that fish can do math. They found stingrays (a sea fish) and cichlids (an African fish) were able to add and subtract (减) — even with no fingers to count on.
Past research has shown that many animals, including fish, can tell the difference (不同) between larger and smaller numbers. For example, mosquitofish will choose a group of four over a group of three. Stingrays and cichlids can see things and tell how many there are, just as a person might quickly notice that there are three cookies on a plate. Researchers wondered if fish could also work out math problems.
The team, led by zoologist Vera Schluessel at the University of Boston, made the fish learn to add and subtract. They used a way that had been used on bees before. First, they showed the fish a card with blue or yellow circles (圆圈) on it. Blue meant “add one”. Yellow meant “subtract one”. For example, if fish was shown two blue circles, it should look for a card with three blue circles. If it saw two yellow circles, it should look for one yellow circle. When the fish touched its nose to the correct card, it received a delicious treat.
After that, the researchers gave the fish a test. About half of the fish had learned to do the job. They were able to count the number of things, knew if they need to add or subtract, and chose the correct answer. “It needs complex (复杂的) thinking skills,” said Schluessel.
This is so amazing!
14．Why does the writer give the example of Mosquitofish in Paragraph 2
A．To show more kinds of fish.
B．To show they like to live in groups.
C．To show they are able to tell the difference in numbers.

16．Which of the following shows the correct order of Vera Schluessel’s study
a. The fish saw a card with blue or yellow circles. b. The fish could eat something delicious.
c. The fish looked for another card. d. The fish touched its nose to the correct card.
A．a-c-d-b B．a-c-b-d C．d-a-c-b D．d-a-b-c
17．What can we learn from the passage
A．Bees are not as clever as fish. B．Bees can work out math problems.
C．Fish like joining the largest social group. D．Fish can work out math problems.

Now, many school students experience daily stress (压力) about their study. So, if that’s you, you’re not alone. In fact, there are so many useful, easy tips that can help you kick off your stress right away. Let’s have a look!
Stop and take a deep breath (呼吸)—everything’s going to be OK
If you’re nervous, take a break from stress. Count to 10 as you breathe in. Then, do the same thing as you breathe out. This can help calm you down when you do your homework, your test, or even right this second!
Listen to ________
If you’re someone who gets super nervous just before a test, enjoy slow, comforting songs before you head in. Smoothing sounds can reduce (减少) stress in the moment and help you feel powerful and calm.
Make a study plan
Writing out everything you need to get done might be helpful. Put it all on the page and suddenly, your schoolwork might become easy to complete. Block out time to study, to take breaks, and to take care of yourself.
Celebrate and be kind to yourself
Put energy into loving yourself—not just trying to get high grades. By taking the time to really enjoy all of your successes (even the small ones!), you may feel less stressed and have more confidence.

“I hate Tuesdays,” said Finn. “Tuesdays are the worst days now.”
“Wait and see,” said his mother. “You haven’t even met Miss Bea.”
Finn was starting piano lessons at 3:30 every Tuesday, right after school. That’s when his hands wanted to build his new Star-Blaster, a toy like Lego (乐高). Finn’s mother rang the doorbell. “Maybe she went shopping,” said Finn hopefully. But when the door opened, and there was Miss Bea, at home, with a warm smile.
“Hello there, Finn,” she said. “Come in.”
Miss Bea’s piano was black and shiny. Finn sat on the bench (长凳). His feet sure couldn’t run now. They couldn’t even touch the floor. He held on his Star-Blaster box. “That looks like a special box,” said Miss Bea. “Is it something new ”
“It’s going to be a Star-Blaster,” said Finn, “but I have to wait till I get home.” He tried not to look impolite when he said it.
“Ah, so you are a builder,” said Miss Bea. “That’s very good. I bet you can find out how this piano works. Why don’t you start by pressing (按) some keys ”
Finn pressed some white keys and then black keys. Then he pressed a white and black one at the same time. It didn’t really make a song, but Miss Bea said she liked it.
Then Miss Bea had a question. “If you were going to build a piano, how many pieces would you need ” Finn guessed all the way up to nine hundred fifty-seven, but it was “More-more-more.”
He tried sixty-eight zillion. “Not exactly,” laughed Miss Bea. “But it’s still a big number: ten thousand pieces.” “Whoa,” said Finn. “My Star-Blaster only has sixty-two. But it’s still going to be hard to put it together.” “But it will be worth (值得) it,” said Miss Bea, “Piano lessons are like that, too. You work and work to build a song. Your songs can be fast or slow, high or low, soft or loud.”
“I want to build a fast loud one,” said Finn. “You will,” said Miss Bea, “when your fingers learn to run and jump. But for now, our time is up.”
On the way home, Finn asked his mother how many songs there were to learn.
“There must be thousands,” she said, “especially (尤其) you practice.”
“Then I’d better start soon,” said Finn. He looked at all his fingers. “How many days,” he asked, “until Tuesday ”
22．How did Finn feel when he met Miss Bea at first
A．Excited. B．Afraid. C．Worried. D．Unwilling.

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
Cats or Dogs! These can be fighting words, depending on who you’re talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog people prefer (更喜欢) dogs and think they are “man’s best friends”, while cat people like cats because they think cats are elegant and independent. Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other.
Dogs seem to be winning the battle. An Associated Press poll (民意调查) in 2018 showed that people in the US liked dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs “a lot” but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper on China’s Pet Industry also showed that there were around 11 million more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more attention online. There are even some new slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as “masters” (喵主子). Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting” (“云吸猫”), which refers to (指) viewing pictures and videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But since cats are mainly indoor animals, they are more likely to stay at home. The Internet has become a virtual (虚拟的) “cat park” for cat owners.
But it doesn’t really matter if you prefer cats or dogs. Having a connection with any animal can make us feel good.
54．What do cat people think of cats
55．How do people without pet cats do something called “cloud cat petting”
56．Do you prefer cats or dogs Why
