For most of us, stress is a fact of life. But there are many useful ways to lower stress. Let’s take a look.

If we get angry, music has a wonderful influence on our feelings. When we feel sad, it fills our hearts with warmth.
When we get nervous or upset before a test, take a few deep breaths.

Many years ago, on my first day of middle school, one of my roommates turned to me for help. He took a bottle of water out of his bag. I opened it for him easily, and he thanked me. But I felt quite shy when he said thanks to me.
A week later, we started to receive military training(军训). We needed to gather at 6: 30 a. m. every day. However, I was still in the bed at 6: 00 on the first day. My roommate woke me up and I really thanked him. Luckily, neither of us was late for that day’s training. Later, I had a talk with him. “Perhaps we don’t have to say thanks to each other so often because we have become real friends. ” I said. He thought over my words and nodded.
Over the next three years, we continued to help each other, but we almost never said thank you. For many years, I didn’t think it was necessary to say thank you out loud. I also felt embarrassed(尴尬的) after I had been thanked for offering someone just a little bit of help.
My attitude(态度) towards saying thanks didn’t change until I helped a group of kids. It was a tiring walk when I was on my way home after a day’s class. Some little kids threw the ball onto the tree by accident while playing football. They asked me for help, so I did. Then the kids said “Thank you” one by one with big smiles on their faces when I handed the ball to them. I was surprised, but it really made me feel warm at that moment. I realized the importance of expressing thanks from then on.
Showing thanks is a polite way for a conversation. It will let the other side know that you’re thankful for his or her action. So next time, when you feel thankful, express your thanks bravely.
(B)19. Why didn’t the writer often say thanks to his roommate
A. Because he never said thanks.
B. Because he thought real friends needn’t say thanks.
C. Because he thought the help was too little to say thanks.
D. Because he thought saying thanks made him embarrassed.
(D)20. What changed the writer’s attitude towards saying thanks
A. The advice of the teacher.
B. The help of his roommate.
C. The influence of his parents.
D. The thanks from the little kids.
(B)21. In which order is the text written
A. Space. B. Time.

(A)22. What is the best title for the text
A. Say thank you aloud
B. Ask questions actively
C. Offer help to others
D. Learn to make changes

Recently, I went out to a bar with my friend Nicole. I didn’t actually know her well as we had only met once at a meeting. When I found myself in her town, we decided to meet up. Since we knew little about each other, we shared our stories, and she asked me many questions about my travels.
When answering her questions about what I had learned in my travels, I told Nicole that travel had greatly improved my ability to “read” people and situations.
“Oh OK. Read my friends over there, ” she challenged me.
So I offered her my opinions about her friends and the other people in the bar.
“How did I do ” I asked when I had finished.
“Wow!” She was shocked.
You might want to know how I was able to get those people right. For sure, I knew nothing about mind games. I judged(判断) their personalities simply by reading their body language, facial expressions, dress, and the way they talked with one another.
I had travelled a lot before. When I was travelling, I couldn’t always understand what people were trying to say to me as most of them didn’t speak English. Non-verbal communication became very important. Whenever words failed, I depended on people’s facial expressions. By watching how people behaved, I tried to work out how they felt about something. The tone (音调) in people’s voices was quite helpful, too.
The more I travelled and the more I talked with different people, the better I became at “reading” people. If you travel widely, you will be able to develop this ability, too.

And the use of chopsticks makes it possible for the family members to have meals together. As the Westerners prefer to eat individually, they have the idea and habit of not 4. depending (depend)on others after they grow into adults.

Most of people think their parents should always stay with them, but it is impossible for some children.

So they have to live with their grandparents.
China has about 9. 02 million left-behind children, according to a statement from the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA, 民政部)in 2022. Most of the left-behind children are from countryside aged under 16. Their parents leave them to make money in the city or either of them stays with them but can’t look after them. The following chart shows how old they are.
There are some problems with these left-behind children. Many parents take little care of them and this may make children shy or not confident. They also have problems with school. Among them, many children have left school. In order to solve these problems, there is a guide line on the protection of left-behind children by China’s State Council(国务院). Each child must have their own record. The local government should work with charities to take care of them. If the children live with their migrant worker(进城务工人员)parents, the city government should help them find affordable housing and make sure children can go to city schools and get the health care in the city hospital.
As the State Council points out, “Making millions of left-behind children in the countryside grow up safely and healthily is the responsibility of families, the government and the whole society. ”
1. Who do most left-behind children live with in the countryside (no more than 6 words)
They live with their grandparents.
2. In the pie chart(饼状图), how old are 62%of left-behind children (no more than 9 words)

3. If you were a left-behind child, would you like to stay with others in the countryside or live with your parents in the city Why
I would like to stay with my parents because I think I am happy to live with them. /I would like to stay with my grandparents because they aren’t strict with me.
4. 请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。

Dear Chris,
I’m glad to know that you’re interested in Chinese social manners. Let me tell you some Chinese customs.
In China, when you meet people for the first time, you’re expected to shake hands. One important thing is that you should learn how to behave at the dinner table. For example, you’re supposed to let the old eat first if there are old people at table. Another example is that you’re not supposed to stick your chopsticks into your food. Also, it’s rude to point at anyone with your chopsticks. And there is one more thing you need to know. You shouldn’t make any noise while you are eating. If you go to a party, you are expected to be on time. Although things here are quite different from the way they are in your country, I believe you’ll get used to them.
I hope the above is helpful. Please feel free to ask for more information.
Yours,

Showing respect for seniors
Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. But, do our grandparents have a special holiday Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people.
There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure (治疗) diseases.
Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people.
It is a traditional virtue (美德) in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow.
