In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.
One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no. . .”, cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”
I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me ”
A slight smile was on his face, “Yes!”
The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to.
Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
4. Why did the family eat in the car after work
A. To avoid heavy traffic jams. B. To have extra basketball classes.
C. To remove the trouble of cooking. D. To have more time with family members.
5. What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2
A. He wanted to do projects with his dad.
B. He was disappointed with the playhouse.
C. He was sad for missing his school project.
D. He wanted to build the playhouse independently.

A. Thoughtful and caring. B. Educated and strict.
C. Open-minded and generous. D. Humorous and patient.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Looking After Kids Is Easy B. A Role Model for Kids Counts
C. Family Events Bring Us Together D. Balancing Work and Family Is Important

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
8. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
9. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
10. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
D
A new study suggests that mindfulness education — lessons on techniques to calm the mind and body — can reduce the negative effects of stress and increase students’ ability to stay engaged, helping them stay on track academically and avoid behavior problems.
After finding that students who self-reported mindful habits performed better on tests and had higher grades, researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University wanted to know if school-based mindfulness training could help more students reap similar benefits.
They designed a study focusing on sixth-graders in a Boston school. The study showed that sixth-graders who participated in an eight-week mindfulness were less stressed out than their classmates who hadn’t. Practicing mindfulness had helped improve the ability to focus in the moment, expanding students’ capacity to learn and regulate their emotions.
Four times a week, instructors from Calmer Choice, a Massachusetts nonprofit specializing in mindfulness education, taught the group techniques and led them through practices, like focusing on a rock for a minute, then discussing when their mind wandered and refocused on the rock. Another group of sixth-graders took computer coding during that time instead. The students were randomly assigned between the groups.
At the end of the eight weeks, the mindfulness group reported being less stressed than they had been before the mindfulness education, and better able to practice self-control. And their amygdalae, the part of the brain that controls emotion, responded less to pictures of fearful faces than they did prior to the mindfulness work, suggesting their brains were less sensitive to negative stimuli, or, in other words, that they were less likely to get stressed out and lose focus. The group who attended coding classes didn’t see the same benefits.
The findings suggest that the mindfulness instruction helped boost students’ attention skills, as well as develop coping mechanisms for stress. The researchers believe it could be especially useful for schools to support students suffering from severe mental damage and other adversities that trigger stress in the body, hurting students’ ability to succeed.
12 What was the purpose of the study
A. To examine the techniques for practicing mindfulness.
B. To study the effects of group mindfulness training on students.
C. To see how students help themselves to perform better on tests.
D. To understand why mindfulness training calms the mind and body.
13. How was the study conducted
A. By listing benefits of mindfulness education.
B. By scanning the brain to see how it controls emotions.
C. By teaching different students different mindfulness skills.
D. By comparing two groups of students attending different classes.
14. What change took place after the students practiced mindfulness work
A. They felt easier to stay focused. B. They were better at computer coding.
C. Their mind was wandering more actively. D. Their brains were more aware of negativity.
15. Who are the most possible target readers of the passage
A. Stressful parents. B. Mindful instructors.
C. Emotional students. D. School educators.

【答案】Dear Amy,
Sorry to learn that you are in a dilemma of whether to quit the school dance club due to the heavy school work. I can relate because I’ve been there before, and here are my opinions.
Being part of a dance club can offer numerous benefits. It not only provides an outlet for stress but also promotes physical fitness. However, it is important to find a balance between study and extracurricular activities. It might be helpful to communicate with your teachers about your concerns as they can offer possible solutions. Besides, why not manage your time effectively by making a workable schedule
I’m sure you can find a solution that works best for you. Keep me informed of any follow-up.
Yours,
Li Hua
