1.（2024·安徽省安庆市·中考一模）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。
There are many ways to get people to do what you want. You can order them around. “Do this!” “Do that!” You can also threaten (威胁) them. “You had better do what I say or else...” But these methods might not get the best results and you probably will lose a few friends.
“Half my teammates just told me they would give up!” Mike said to me angrily. “Well, maybe they wouldn’t leave you if you didn’t shout at them every time something went wrong,” I told him with a smile. “After all, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).”
As we all know, honey is sweet, vinegar is sour and hard to drink. The expression “you get more flies with honey than with vinegar” means it is a good idea to be nice to others.
Being mean or unpleasant is like being full of vinegar. You will push more people away, and nobody will like to be around you.
On the contrary (相反), being nice to other people is the best and easiest way to get what you want. You can win over friends and chances more easily by being polite and kind.
Therefore, for those who like ordering people around, I would say: ________, you’ll get what you want more easily.

In many ways, my interest in language learning began with my grandmother. She moved from Switzerland to England when she was young and I was always amazed that she spoke English to me, Italian to my grandfather and French or German on the phone to her relatives and friends. I always imagined she could be a translator of books,
she didn’t learn English at school, but picked it up by herself when she came to England.
It’s hard for me to understand how someone can speak several languages so well. I can just speak a bit of Italian and German by listening to her. And I hardly use other languages in my own job. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn other languages. In my eyes, being able to ask for a meal in a restaurant on holiday in a non-English speaking country would be great. Most important of all, it would be nice to talk with people from around the world.
In fact, language learning is easier now than ever because of new technology. For example, recording your voice helps you see how well you’re doing and helps you continue to improve. There are apps to help you learn new words. However, I still think going to class improves conversation skills and helps you quickly deal with mistakes. So, it’s better to combine different methods.

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers (调度员) on Emergency (急救) Center of the city.

“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch (调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live. ”
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical
workers to him.

There are many ways to get people to do what you want. You can order them around. “Do this!” “Do that!” You can also threaten (威胁) them. “You had better do what I say or else...” But these methods might not get the best results and you probably will lose a few friends.
“Half my teammates just told me they would give up!” Mike said to me angrily. “Well, maybe they wouldn’t leave you if you didn’t shout at them every time something went wrong,” I told him with a smile. “After all, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).”
As we all know, honey is sweet, vinegar is sour and hard to drink. The expression “you get more flies with honey than with vinegar” means it is a good idea to be nice to others.
Being mean or unpleasant is like being full of vinegar. You will push more people away, and nobody will like to be around you.
On the contrary (相反), being nice to other people is the best and easiest way to get what you want. You can win over friends and chances more easily by being polite and kind.
Therefore, for those who like ordering people around, I would say: ________, you’ll get what you want more easily.
1．What will probably happen if we order people around (不超过15词)
2．When did Mike shout at his teammates (不超过10个词)
3．What would the writer say at the end of the text (不超过10个词)

Then the man went to the pool with a net. But he found there weren’t many frogs in the pool. “Where are the hundreds of frogs ” the man asked.

Our cities are busy and full of people. They’re not smart enough. Wu Yuhang, 13, from Dongguan, Guangdong Province, thinks this is a problem.
“Crossing the street can be dangerous. People cannot keep their eyes off their phones. Drivers cannot see traffic lights if their cars are behind a big truck. I once saw a billboard (广告牌) fall down in a storm. That’s the most terrible,” said Wu. “I’m trying to find smart ways to solve these problems.”
Over the past few years, Wu has invented an assistant system (辅助系统) for traffic lights. It sets LED lights along the road so that drivers can see traffic lights more easily.
To make his inventions, Wu learned programming, building models and so on. But Wu said the most important thing is to find people’s problems in lives.
Wu has a bigger plan for his future—to be a chip (芯片) engineer. “China is still behind the West in computer chíps. And chips are important if we want to build smart cities.”

Paco shut the door hard after school. “Dad, I’m so angry.” Paco’s father stopped his work and patiently listened to his son. “Jack made me lose face today, and I even hope something bad will happen to him,” Paco added.
His father went to the corner, found a bag of charcoal (木炭) and said, “Son, take the white shirt hanging on the rope as Jack, and the charcoal in this bag as something bad. Hit the shirt with charcoal, and every time you hit a piece of charcoal, it means Jack has experienced a bad thing. Let’s see what will happen after using up all the charcoal.” Paco didn’t understand why, but he did it anyway.
“How do you feel now ” his father asked. “I feel relaxed, but I have left several black marks on my jacket,” Paco said. Father asked Paco to look in the mirror. Paco found himself covered in black charcoal.
“You see, the white shirt hasn’t become very dirty, but you’ve become a ‘black’ yourself.”

The situation became worse and worse. One day, the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree fought back by refusing to offer the vegetables shade (树荫). Soon they both began to dry up under the hot sun.

When you are tired
If people don’t get enough sleep, they might feel like eating, according to researchers from Columbia University in the US. These people eat almost 300 more calories a day than those who get enough sleep. That’s maybe because when we are awake, we need more energy.

When you hold a piece of bread on your way to school, or have your lunch in a hurry, you may eat more. That’s because you are eating too fast. Usually, it takes our brain about 20 minutes to find out that we are full. When you eat fast, your brain doesn’t have enough time to tell you that you’re full.

In many ways, my interest in language learning began with my grandmother. She moved from Switzerland to England when she was young and I was always amazed that she spoke English to me, Italian to my grandfather and French or German on the phone to her relatives and friends. I always imagined she could be a translator of books, she didn’t learn English at school, but picked it up by herself when she came to England.
It’s hard for me to understand how someone can speak several languages so well. I can just speak a bit of Italian and German by listening to her. And I hardly use other languages in my own job. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn other languages. In my eyes, being able to ask for a meal in a restaurant on holiday in a non-English speaking country would be great. Most important of all, it would be nice to talk with people from around the world.
In fact, language learning is easier now than ever because of new technology. For example, recording your voice helps you see how well you’re doing and helps you continue to improve. There are apps to help you learn new words. However, I still think going to class improves conversation skills and helps you quickly deal with mistakes. So, it’s better to combine different methods.

From then on, every Friday I could get in line with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. No matter how many students complained (抱怨) about the food—I found it really tasty to me!

Wang Maowei, 40, comes from Shanxi. He is skilled at making stick puppets (木偶). Since his parents used to work with the Xiaoyi Puppet Troupe (剧团), he fell in love with the art form as a teenager and decided to work for it all his life. When he was 17, he went to Xi’an, Shaanxi province, to learn puppet-making. Seven years later, he returned to his hometown to work with the same troupe as his parents did. Later, he also passed on his skills and experience to his students.
“To make puppets, you need to have a sense of art. The most difficult part is to keep on working because it can be monotonous and hard work,” Wang said. By his strict standard, it takes at least five years for his students to learn puppet-making. “If a student wants to do better than his teacher, it’s important to be creative,” he said.
Wang is also creative, connecting traditional puppet-making with modern technology. His puppets can do face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick (把戏). To draw in more young people, Wang has made changes to
puppet plays. His troupe now uses background music instead of the singing in local operas. This makes it easier to understand.

Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends by running Buddy Bench (友谊长凳) Program. The idea is that anyone at school who is feeling lonely can sit on the “buddy bench”. That lets other kids know someone needs a friend.
Sammie got the idea at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so she presented the idea to her teachers and her parents. To reduce costs and be environment-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Finally, they collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps, which were made into three benches by a company called Green Tree Plastics.
Before long, Sammie was helping other schools get benches. She has given away more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around her country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
Sammie says the effort has helped her deal with personal challenges. She says: “ But I’m much more outgoing now.” She has also learned to accept her limits (局限性), and to take breaks when working on a big project.

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers (调度员) on Emergency (急救) Center of the city.
Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch (调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live. ”
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.
“We are trying to be quicker than death,” says Liang.

Another rabbit agreed, “You’re right. Life is full of challenges. I’m so sad about it. I just want it to end.”
A third rabbit added, “Yeah, I feel the same. Maybe I’ll jump into the pond.”
Deciding to end their lives, the rabbits went to the pond. But when they arrived, they saw the frogs jump into the water as they got near.
