My youngest son has a severe form of Autism (自闭症). He only says a few words and is in his own world most of the time. Yet, with medicine, routines, and a lot of love, support, acceptance, and understanding he has been able to live a happy life here. There is one problem, however, that he still has: he is hard on his clothes ripping (抽出) threads out of his trousers and tearing his shirts. This means that I spend a lot of time in stores looking for cheap clothes to replace them.
The other day I was in one of these stores looking for a blue sweatshirt to replace one he had torn up. As I was walking down an aisle (过道) I heard “Come Back Here!” followed by a laughter. A little, three-year- old girl was running down the aisle laughing and making a break from her Mom. She ran right up to me and held open her arms to be picked up. I saw her Mom smile at us so I picked up the little kid and carried her back to her Mom's arms.
Then I turned the corner and saw an elderly lady stretching up to reach a purse on a super high shelf. I asked if I could help and when she said “yes” I got on my tip toes to grab it for her. Finally, I reached the sweatshirts and found one that I knew would make my son laugh with delight when he saw it.
As I walked toward the cashier I saw the older lady paying for her purse with a smile and behind her the little girl jumping up and down with joy, holding her Mom's hand and carrying an old doll her Mom had found for her. As I took my place in line I suddenly felt a sense of peace, joy, and love fill my heart. I realized that me, my son, that Mom, her girl, and that lady were all one family, in one world, filled with kindness and love for us all.

There’s no doubt that cats love to play. While some pet parents settle for having their kitties run around the house, others like to tend their cat friends with specialized furniture. Luckily, more and more companies are offering designs with a stylish, minimalist edge that almost doesn’t even look like cat furniture. One such design is Nami, a multifunctional fixture created by Mau.
On its own, Nami looks like an abstract artwork— half sculpture, half wall decoration. But once your cat comes across it, you’ll see it transform into a wooden house for your cat. The clever design is inspired by the fluent elegance of ocean movements, taking its name from the Japanese word for “wave”.
“The finely sanded, butter-smooth wooden beds are complemented (相得益彰) by gradual wave-like steps, offering your cats a comfortable and stylish place to relax and unwind,” May explains. “Even when unoccupied, it stands as a remarkable decorative addition to your space.”
The company’s mission to marry form and function shines through Nami’s design. “Adapt an extraordinary connection of art and comfort, and transform what it means to be a cat lover with this exceptional piece.”
Nami is also easy to fix thanks to its French cleat (防滑钉) system. With a width of 27.25 inches and height of 32.75 inches, its proportions (比例) are similar to those of a large poster. As for the kitties, Nami can comfortably hold cats weighing up to 18 pounds, with its wooden beds and wave-like steps offering a considerate space for catnaps. Since it’s still a piece of cat furniture, designers have also made it easy to clean with a damp cloth.
If this sounds perfect for your cat, you can now order Nami on Mau’s website. To explore more of the company’s stylish cat furniture ideas, you can follow Mau on Instagram.
8. What’s the purpose of the author telling people’s treating cats
A. To introduce the topic to be discussed. B. To tell people’s feeling to their cats.
C. To explain the right attitudes to cats. D. To advise people to make room for cats.
9. What’s the characteristic of Nami
A. It provides large living space. B. It can float on the ocean waves.
C. It integrates art and practicality. D. It’s easy to remove when unoccupied.
10. What does paragraph 5 intend to tell us about Nami
A. Its cost. B. Its materials. C. Its size. D. Its convenience.
11. The whole text is intended to ______.
A. tell the development of technology B. advertise a product
C. tell people’s love for their cats D. inform the inspiration from the ocean
D
Everyone has their own way to “recharge” their sense of well-being — something that makes them feel good physically, emotionally, and spiritually even if they aren’t consciously aware of it. Personally, I know that few things can improve my day as quickly as a walk around the block or even just getting up from my desk and doing some push-ups. A hike through the woods is ideal when I can make it happen. But that’s me. It’s not simply that I enjoy these activities but also that they literally make me feel better and clear my mind.
Mental health and physical health are closely connected. No kidding — what’s good for the body is often good for the mind. Knowing what you can do physically that has this effect for you will change your day and your life.
Physical activity has many well-established mental health benefits. These are published in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and include improved brain health and cognitive function (the ability to think, if you will), a reduced risk of anxiety and depression, and improved sleep and overall quality of life. Although not a cure-all, increasing physical activity directly contributes to improved mental health and better overall health and well-being.
Learning how to routinely manage stress and getting screened for depression are simply good prevention practices Awareness is especially critical at this time of year when disruptions to healthy habits and choices can be more likely and more annoying.
Shorter days and colder temperatures have a way of interrupting routines — as do the holidays, with both their joys and their stresses. When the plentiful sunshine and clear skies of temperate months give way to unpredictable weather, less daylight, and festive gatherings, it may happen unconsciously or seem natural to be upset from being as physically active. However, that tendency is precisely why it’s so important that we are ever more mindful of our physical and emotional health — and how we can maintain both — during this time of year.
12. What’s the author’s best way to recharge his well-being
A. High-intensity exercise. B. Sitting at the desk.
C. Staying nearby woods. D. Slight exercise.
13. What does the author imply in paragraph 3
A. Physical activity is closely connected with mental health.
B. Increasing physical activity has no cure to brain health.
C Physical activity has a risk of anxiety and depression.
D. Good quality of life leaves little time for physical activity.
14. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Achievements. B. Improvements.
C. Disturbances. D. Contributions.
15. Why does the author mention shorter days, colder temperatures and festivals
A. To remind us of the hard times of life. B. To let us mind physical and mental health.
C. To tell what kind of life we all experience. D. To tell us many things are unpredictable.

As I walked toward the cashier I saw the older lady paying for her purse with a smile and behind her the little girl jumping up and down with joy, holding her Mom's hand and carrying an old doll her Mom had found for her. As I took my place in line I suddenly felt a sense of peace, joy, and love fill my heart. I realized that me, my son, that Mom, her girl, and that lady were all one family, in one world, filled with kindness and love for us all.

There’s no doubt that cats love to play. While some pet parents settle for having their kitties run around the house, others like to tend their cat friends with specialized furniture. Luckily, more and more companies are offering designs with a stylish, minimalist edge that almost doesn’t even look like cat furniture. One such design is Nami, a multifunctional fixture created by Mau.
On its own, Nami looks like an abstract artwork— half sculpture, half wall decoration. But once your cat comes across it, you’ll see it transform into a wooden house for your cat. The clever design is inspired by the fluent elegance of ocean movements, taking its name from the Japanese word for “wave”.
“The finely sanded, butter-smooth wooden beds are complemented (相得益彰) by gradual wave-like steps, offering your cats a comfortable and stylish place to relax and unwind,” May explains. “Even when unoccupied, it stands as a remarkable decorative addition to your space.”
The company’s mission to marry form and function shines through Nami’s design. “Adapt an extraordinary connection of art and comfort, and transform what it means to be a cat lover with this exceptional piece.”
Nami is also easy to fix thanks to its French cleat (防滑钉) system. With a width of 27.25 inches and height of 32.75 inches, its proportions (比例) are similar to those of a large poster. As for the kitties, Nami can comfortably hold cats weighing up to 18 pounds, with its wooden beds and wave-like steps offering a considerate space for catnaps. Since it’s still a piece of cat furniture, designers have also made it easy to clean with a damp cloth.
If this sounds perfect for your cat, you can now order Nami on Mau’s website. To explore more of the company’s stylish cat furniture ideas, you can follow Mau on Instagram.

11. The whole text is intended to ______.
A. tell the development of technology B. advertise a product

Everyone has their own way to “recharge” their sense of well-being — something that makes them feel good physically, emotionally, and spiritually even if they aren’t consciously aware of it. Personally, I know that few things can improve my day as quickly as a walk around the block or even just getting up from my desk and doing some push-ups. A hike through the woods is ideal when I can make it happen. But that’s me. It’s not simply that I enjoy these activities but also that they literally make me feel better and clear my mind.
Mental health and physical health are closely connected. No kidding — what’s good for the body is often good for the mind. Knowing what you can do physically that has this effect for you will change your day and your life.
Physical activity has many well-established mental health benefits. These are published in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and include improved brain health and cognitive function (the ability to think, if you will), a reduced risk of anxiety and depression, and improved sleep and overall quality of life. Although not a cure-all, increasing physical activity directly contributes to improved mental health and better overall health and well-being.
Learning how to routinely manage stress and getting screened for depression are simply good prevention practices. Awareness is especially critical at this time of year when disruptions to healthy habits and choices can be more likely and more annoying.
Shorter days and colder temperatures have a way of interrupting routines — as do the holidays, with both their joys and their stresses. When the plentiful sunshine and clear skies of temperate months give way to unpredictable weather, less daylight, and festive gatherings, it may happen unconsciously or seem natural to be upset from being as physically active. However, that tendency is precisely why it’s so important that we are ever more mindful of our physical and emotional health — and how we can maintain both — during this time of year.
12. What’s the author’s best way to recharge his well-being
A. High-intensity exercise. B. Sitting at the desk.
C. Staying nearby woods. D. Slight exercise.
13. What does the author imply in paragraph 3
A. Physical activity is closely connected with mental health.
B. Increasing physical activity has no cure to brain health.
C. Physical activity has a risk of anxiety and depression.
D. Good quality of life leaves little time for physical activity.
14. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Achievements. B. Improvements.
C. Disturbances. D. Contributions.
15. Why does the author mention shorter days, colder temperatures and festivals
A. To remind us of the hard times of life. B. To let us mind physical and mental health.
C. To tell what kind of life we all experience. D. To tell us many things are unpredictable.

【答案】Dear Lucica,
I’m writing to share with you a volunteering activity as a guide in the Summer Palace in the summer holidays in 2024. Early in the morning I arrived at the Summer Palace and there were many foreigners in the park. I introduced myself to them and told them I was more than glad to introduce the park in English to them. They felt greatly appreciated. All the day, I introduced all the sights in the park and found these foreigners attracted by my introduction and the beauty, long history and magical construction of the buildings.
After a day’s effort, I felt tired out but I was proud and satisfied with my work. On one hand I practised my spoken English quite a lot. On the other hand, I spread the Chinese civilization to foreigners. It’s a duty and honour for me.
Yours,
Li Hua

He didn’t want his mother to worry as he knew about the hard work his mother did in order to survive.
Few days passed but he was determined to be an artist. The young boy had a drawing file and some colours in a poor state though it could be used for colouring purpose. He wandered in those hills to gather inspiration as from the very beginning nature had been both his guide. Then he stopped at a beautiful spot and sat at those green grass at the bottomi but after a few seconds he fall asleep but in his dream he was creating a master piece of art that shook down the whole world. After some time he woke up and went back. The following day he read about a competition that was being held in the town. He got the perfect opportunity to realize his desire but he was in a dilemma (困境) as for the competition he needed paints and some brushes but he didn’t had enough money for the same. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money. In the evening when his mother returned from work, he saw that his mother had a few bundles of notes and that money would be enough for him to buy those material.
The next morning when his mom woke up, the boy knocked at the door and came in. He begged his mother to give him some money and his mother had to give in. Then he headed towards his final destination, the place where the competition was being held.

She realized that her son’s passion and talent were undeniable, and from that day on, she supported his dream wholeheartedly.
