阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In schools and at home,most of us have been scolded(责骂) or even got punished for daydreaming.Most people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy on something that is nothing less than unproductive things.But many medical studies have shown something different.They've stressed the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination,creativity and situation-handling techniques.In fact,many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.
The biggest benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement.By separating yourself from the world around you,you tend to enjoy the solitude(独处) in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses.When you start imagining things while daydreaming,you tend to forget all the stress and tension.Instead,you get happiness from it and this happiness changes into a source of energy that helps you work in a good mood.
Many psychologists have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory.It's true that when you're daydreaming,you tend to get carried away to imagine various situations,either real or unreal.You tend to act differently in different situations,trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams.When your mind gets satisfied,you're in a better position to concentrate more on your work.Since daydreaming activates(激活) the nerves of your brain,you tend to pay more attention and your ability to remember things develops.
When you daydream,you imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore,you get to know yourself better.You also start realizing the mistakes you've made in life and you start trying your best to avoid repeating them.Such imagination helps you to connect yourself with your soul.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一个80词左右的段落,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Milo is a rescue dog,adopted by twenty-year-old Mary Swift.But the dog is also a rescuer.
One morning in November 2021,Swift was ready to go jogging as usual,with Milo following her happily.To her surprise,as soon as she opened the front door,Milo took off running towards the gate quickly.It was very unusual.He always ran after his master.
Outside the gate,Milo was looking around the neighborhood,looking a little alert.Suddenly,he ran straightly to the house across the street,barking loudly and sniffing around.He seemed unsatisfied with this house.He quickly ran to the one next door.He stopped there and turned to Swift,barking more loudly,with his tail swinging crazily.Swift followed him,shouting sharply “Stop,Milo!” Some passing neighbors were looking disapprovingly(不满地) at them.
Swift was kind of embarrassed.She tried to get Milo to go back,but Milo seemed not to follow the master's order.He started to scratch on the front door.Swift wondered,“Why is he trying to break into the house?” She looked at the house,which belonged to Sherry Starr,who was 85 years old and seldom walked out of her house.It was the time for her to trim her bushes in the garden.Somehow,she wasn't there that day.
Although Swift was a little doubtful,she still tried to drag Milo away.But at this time she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window.
It was a voice yelling “Help”.____________________________________

课时分层作业(十八)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My name is Alice.Early last year,I was troubled by an anxiety that weakened my ability to do anything.I felt like a storm cloud hung over me.For almost a year I struggled on,constantly staring at this wall that faced me.My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did,which obviously in life is not possible,but it consumed me.
One day,I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school.His presentation not only awed and inspired me,but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world.I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible.This first contact was where my story began.
A month later,Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference.Looking back,I now see this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass,but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized.Shortly after I received his invitation,applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school.I decided to commit myself to completing the applications,and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature.Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.
I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I've realised that my biggest obstacle the whole time was myself.It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can't.They say good things come to those who wait.I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient.After all,nature does not require our patience,but our action.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈了自己的焦虑症的故事。
1.What was the main cause of Alice's anxiety
A.Her wish to be perfect.
B.Her habit of consumption.
C.Her lack of inspiration.
D.Her inability to act her age.
A [细节理解题。由文章第一段的“My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did,which obviously in life is not possible,but it consumed me.”可知,是作者要求完美导致了焦虑。故选A。]
2.How did Grant Brown's presentation influence Alice
A.She built up her courage to speak up.
B.She tasted the sweetness of friendship.
C.She learned about the harm of desire.
D.She decided to do something for nature.
D [细节理解题。由文章第二段的“His presentation not only awed and inspired me,but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world.”和文章第三段的“Shortly after I received his invitation...soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature.”可知,是Grant Brown让作者开始为从事保护自然的活动做出行动。故选D。]
3.The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________.
A.critical B.intelligent
C.confident D.innovative
C [细节理解题。由文章第三段的“Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.”可知,Alice加入这些活动让她变得更自信了。故选C。]
4.What can we learn from this passage
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Action is worry's worst enemy.
C.Patience is a cure of anxiety.
D.Everything comes to those who wait.
B [推理判断题。根据第一段的“Early last year,I was troubled by an anxiety that weakened my ability to do anything.I felt like a storm cloud hung over me.”以及第三段的“Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.”可知,文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然的活动治愈了自己的焦虑。所以从文章中我们能学到“行动是忧虑最大的敌人”。故选B。]

Would it surprise you to learn that,like animals,trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation
Professor Simard from University of British Columbia explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he was.As far as Simard is concerned,actually the opposite is true: trees survive through their cooperation,passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all.
Simard talks about “mother trees”,usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.She explains how moribund trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed,we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn't take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly.“Trees move nutrition into the young trees before they die,but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员西玛德教授发现树和树之间不是你死我活的竞争关系,它们之间是相互依赖的,快要死的母树会将自己的营养物质传给小树让它们更好地成长。人们如果知道这些现象,就可以更好地保护这些树。
5.Which statement would Simard agree with
A.Trees support each other.
B.Trees compete for nutrition.
C.Trees depend on their needs.
D.Trees cooperate with the fittest.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中“As far as Simard is concerned,actually the opposite is true: trees survive through their cooperation,passing around necessary nutrition ‘depending on who needs it’.”可知,西玛德认为树木之间会互相扶持。故选A项。]
6.Why are the networks of neurons in brains mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To explain the importance of fungi networks.
B.To introduce the function of neurons networks.
C.To illustrate how nitrogen and carbon are
shared.
D.To show how the forest ecological system works.
D [推理判断题。根据第三段中“This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all.”可知,本段中提到了大脑中的神经元网络以此展示森林生态系统是如何运作的。故选D项。]
7.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean
A.Energetic. B.Ancient.
C.Previous. D.Dying.
D [词义猜测题。根据画线词前句和所在句可知,由其将重要的矿物质传递给幼树时,这棵树是垂死了的,因此画线词moribund意为“垂死的”。故选D项。]
8.What does Simard call on people to do
A.Protect tree societies.
B.Cut down oldest trees.
C.Get nutrition from nature.
D.Improve our environment.
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.”可知,西玛德号召人们保护森林生态系统。故选A项。]

Dear Tom,
I'm delighted to learn that you are interested in our tree-planting activity.
The activity is held annually on March 12 with different themes.This year's theme is “Building a Green Home”.Early in the morning,all the teachers and students gathered on the West Hill,where we spent the whole morning digging,planting and watering.Eventually about 200 trees were planted.Seeing the trees waving in the breeze,we all felt excited and proud despite tiredness.
Undoubtedly,we benefit a lot from the activity,which not only brings us the pleasure of labor but also helps us to develop team spirit.Hopefully you can join us next year.
Yours,
Li Hua(共28张PPT)
