There are small sharks and large sharks in the oceans now. The smallest shark only grows to be about thirty centimeters long. The whale shark can be twenty meters long!
Sharks aren't like most bony fish, they don't have hard bones inside their bodies. Instead, sharks' bones are made of cartilage（软骨）, like the end of your nose. Most fish have scales（鳞）covering their bodies, including sharks. The scales look like lots of little teeth on the surfaces of sharks.

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can't look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock（生物钟）.
Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara's legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn't stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, "Don't run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work." Her legs and back don't hurt anymore.
Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology, the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they're hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks（心脏病）, happen most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medicine may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent（预防）a heart attack in the morning.
Because of these great importance of the biological clock, Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to the clock inside our bodies.

Basket full of dreams
A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has gone viral（走红）.
The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group（佤族） from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title（冠军）in the Guangzhou stop of the 2022 ASICS Tennis Junior Tour, an audience（观众）member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.
"We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor my hometown." Wang said after the match.
Before tennis, Wang was just an ordinary boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. "I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home." he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.
Over the past six years Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30a, m. and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they need to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.
"If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home," Wang said. Wang's parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn't afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. Wang's hometown, the mountainous Cangyuan Va autonomous country, was just lifted out of poverty（脱贫）in 2019, reported China Daily.
For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future, "I will aim for the top spots（位置）on the professional stage（职业舞台）," he said.
12. How old was Wang Fa when he started to play professional tennis
A. Six. B. Seven. C. Eight. D. Nine.

D. One of the game audience members gave it to him.
14. Paragraph 4 is written to_________.
A. describe Wang's life in the club B. show how Wang's life has changed
C. explain why Wang chose this activity D. present Wang's talents in his young age.

One key to long-term success is working towards the goal（目标）all the time. Most successful language learners make sure they spend a few minutes practicing every day. 17 In the long run, they show much slower progress than those who practice daily.
The second habit of successful language learners is that they don't study too much and too long at a time. 18 And then after a break, they continue. Over a longer time, they make progress.
19 But it has been proved（证明）that one slowly forgets what he or she has learned over time. Let's be honest; Do you still remember all the English words and expressions you learned last year Successful language learners go over the old material. Review（复习）turns your short-term memory into a long- term memory.
Are you having a hard time improving your English Then you may try to develop these three habits. 20 Learning a second language well is a long process-it should take time!

Time goes by, and people surely change. I am not the little kid any more. I am quite different from what I used to be.
when I was young, I couldn’t read or write. I was a slow reader. Now I read something I
enjoy every day to increase my reading speed. I start to become interested in reading. What’s
more, I had difficulty in learning English so I didn’t like English in the past. At present, I have
found some ways to improve my English, such as listening to English songs, reading English
newspapers and magazines. ln the future, I hope I can become better and let my parents be proud of me. Besides, I
will work harder to enter my ideal high school.
