Dr. Fritz Jones is an astronaut doctor working at an international space center. Since he was a kid, he has always wanted to be a doctor and a pilot. His dream came true when he was admitted into the Space Center after he graduated from a medical college.
Before he started his work, he received six months of extra training to learn about how flying affects human body. “It’s not just about feeling light or having your ears pop,” he explained. “Flying can make us feel uncomfortable, affect our thinking and even change how medicines work inside our body.” What’s more, astronaut doctors like him are expected to fly as well.

At the same time, the team conduct regular check-ups and provide medical advice if needed. After returning to Earth, astronauts need doctors to help them with their health problems caused by space travel.
Dr. Jones finds his job extremely cool, as he helps prepare individuals to travel to space, takes care of them while they are out there, and welcomes them back home. And now he even works with engineers to design spacecrafts to ensure astronauts travel to and return from space safely. Maybe one day he will become an astronaut himself!

On 22 April, people across the planet celebrate Earth Day. This is a yearly event that marks the achievements of environmental activists and lays stress on the need to protect the environment for future generations. There are lots of different events taking place all across the world.
Earth Day began in 1970 and since then it has grown strikingly. Although it lasts only one day, many events or activities happen over a week or even a month. The Earth Day movement also encourages people to do things all year that will help the planet.

Many of these items, which often end up in rubbish sites, contain plastics.
Schools and some social groups across the world take an active part in Earth Day events. Students from primary schools, for example, will pick up rubbish in their neighborhoods. Some libraries in parts of the world run events designed to let people get creative and voice their opinions on the environment.
The Earth Day website lists activities arranged around the world, and an increasing number of people are registering their own Earth Day events. If you want to be part of it, search for “Earth Day Creative Events”.

We all agree that too much anxiety has nothing good to offer and is certainly not a welcome visitor in our lives. There are endless and heartbreaking stories about how anxiety can ruin a moment, a day, or even a life.
However a growing number of researchers are getting the message out that anxiety is not always our enemy. Kian Patton, an expert on mental health, believes that anxiety and other unpleasant feelings actually have a role to play because we all need a bit of it to be our best selves.
Let’s look at some positive sides that anxiety has to offer. A bit of anxiety prevents us from possible dangers. Those of us with some anxiety carefully consider the effects of our behavior on others, which prevents us from becoming a bully and hurting classmates. Anxiety can and does remind us to get things done. We tend to be better prepared for the next test, the next presentation, the next day, and even life in general.
“If we pay no attention to our anxiety, we may lose these benefits, and can make things worse,” says Gaia Megan, a professor in Psychological Science. Ignoring unpleasant feelings just strengthens our worries, because we are not solving the problem. According to Gaia, the key to reducing unease is to manage anxiety by “worrying well”. But how
The trick, as she says, is to listen to anxiety, and then direct it to make changes. For example, a young man who worried about everything that could go wrong in his life was kept sleepless at night. After talking to Gaia Megan, he turned “what ifs ” anxiety into a goal-directed to-do list: “If this were to happen, then what could I do Well, I could ...”
By worrying well, we can feel lighter in our mind and have a clearer map of what we should do. “Then,” Gaia advises, “let it go. It is a wave that you need to learn to ride.”
12. What is people’s common opinion about anxiety
A. It satisfies some of our needs. B. It creates problems in our lives.
C It is the most unpleasant feeling. D. It helps us sort out the messages.
13. What can anxiety help people do
A. Avoid possible dangers. B. Make good friends.
C. Have a successful life. D. Create new ideas.
14. How can we manage anxiety according to Gaia Megan
A. By changing our sleep patterns. B. By listening to others’ opinions.
C. By ignoring unpleasant feelings. D. By directing it in a positive way.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Women Scientists on Mental Health B. Facts and Benefits of Fear and Anxiety
C. The Unsolved Mystery: Why do We Worry D. The Upside of Anxiety: How to Worry Well

Ella and Jenny were best friends. They had known each other since Jenny moved next door three years ago. They hung out almost every day after school, exploring the world around them. They had a lot of fun, but like any friends, they sometimes had disagreements because they were very different people.
Ella was a hardworking girl who did well in her school work, loved reading books, and took ballet classes. On the other hand, Jenny was outgoing. She would rather play soccer, chat with classmates at school, and couldn’t sit still long enough to finish reading a story book. In spite of their differences, they always found a way to have fun together.
Usually, they would play together at the park across the street. They would play on the sports equipment, race around the playground, or play soccer with a group of kids in their neighborhood. On rainy days, they would go in one of their houses to make artworks, play video games, or paint each other’s nails. They could spend hours and hours together.
While most days were filled with laughter and shared adventures, there were times when they couldn’t agree on what to do. One day, Ella wanted to play on the playground equipment, while Jenny preferred soccer on the freshly-cut grass.
Ella suggested they should play on the equipment as they had already played soccer for three days. However, Jenny, with her eyes shining eagerly, argued that they should play soccer because the grass in the field had just been cut and it was nice and short.
“We always do what you want to do, Jenny. Can’t we try something different for once ” said Ella, feeling upset.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为130左右;

55. “Fine! Go play by yourself. I will play soccer,” Jenny shouted. After talking, Jenny ran to the grass to play soccer alone. She played soccer for a while, but she found herself very bored. Without Ella's cooperation, she lacked a lot of motivation. Ella was able to pass, control the ball and shoot perfectly, surprising her every time. She thought about it, maybe what Ella said was right, she should play on the playground equipment. After all, every time Ella would follow her own advice, which was unfair to her. She ran back and said. “Ella, as you said, we should play on the playground equipment.”
Ella’s face lit up when she heard what Jenny said. Ella couldn’t believe Jenny would follow her advice. It was the first time she had felt that her advice mattered. Jenny took Ella’s hand and ran happily to the playground equipment. They played happily, as if the unhappy things had never happened. They were still best friends.
