Do you believe in the power of the underdogs Super Dreams, a movie based on a real-life story, follows the journey of a group of teenagers who win an international robotics competition.
Born and raised in a low-income community, William Bates and his fellow teammates have big dreams. With a strong interest in advanced technology, especially robotics, they take on the challenge of the International Science and Engineering Competition, in which they are required to design a robot that can follow specific orders and carry out the tasks.
However, the journey is anything but easy. Their school is unable to provide any funds, nor can they afford professional instructors. Instead of giving up, they decide to learn on their own. They do research in the library, watch related videos online, and turn to their science teachers at times. To perfect their design, the team work tirelessly after school, on weekends, and even during holidays.
As recorded in the movie, this team outperforms other favored teams, winning first place in the final match. It proves that with a little bit of courage and a lot of heart, big dreams can come true. Just like what William says in the movie, "With determination and teamwork, kids from poor backgrounds can also achieve their dreams."
The movie is a breath of fresh air in the world of teen stories. It is not just about winning a competition. It is also about personal growth. It is a reminder that success isn't about where you start, but about the strength of your will and the dreams rooted in your heart.
If you are ready to see a group of teens who turn "can'ts" into "cans", then Super Dreams is what you have been looking for. You will never know what will happen when these kids are given a chance to shine.

It is common knowledge that doing sports can do wonders for our minds. When you exercise, your body lets out feel-good chemicals and produces more energy, which can make you feel stronger about yourself and more confident to take on any challenges in life.
But could there be such a thing as overdoing it According to a new study from Nevada University, you don’t have to push yourself or feel the burn to get benefits from exercise, because too much workout may actually backfire and do harm to mental health as well as your memory.
The researchers asked 113 people to share their exercise records, take memory tests and answer questions about their mental health. With careful examinations of average heart rates, step counts, and the time spent in exercising each week, they saw connections between exercise and mental health as well as memory.
It turned out that those who did exercise gently not only got better results in memory tests, but also felt a decrease in anxiety and the blues. Julie Rosalie, lead researcher in the study, explains, “Too much exercise is a form of stress in itself. It can actually keep you nervous and therefore do more harm than good to a healthy mind.” Besides, Rosalie also reminds us of the dark side of over-exercising, like exercise addiction, which can lead to physical injuries and mental issues.
“Just try to be a little more physically active than you are now, and it could mean just doing stretches or going for walks with friends. You could build on this and increase the duration or bring in more variety and make it fun,” she says “We all have our own unique needs, strengths, and challenges, and it is worthwhile to take a personalized approach to exercise, which helps calm the mind and improve our brainpower.”
7. What is the common belief about doing sports
A. It makes us overconfident. B. It causes challenges in life.
C. It removes some chemicals. D. It can do good to our minds.
8. What does the underlined word “backfire” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. Making no difference. B. Adding fuel to the fire.
C. Having the opposite effect. D. Bringing long-term benefits.
9. How did Julie Rosalie’s research team arrive at their findings
A. By putting down weekly records.
B. By studying careful examinations.
C. By sharing with other research groups.
D. By coming up with different questions.
10. What is the text mainly about
A. Over-exercising may have negative effects.
B. Being physically active can lead to injuries.
C. Doing exercise does good to a healthy mind.
D. We should increase the times of doing sports.

【答案】Dear Daniel,
How’s everything going I hope this letter finds you well. I was delighted to receive your letter, in which you shared your plan for the upcoming winter vacation. Thank you for including me in your excitement.
The vacation is a period I always look forward to. It is a precious opportunity for us to relax, learn new things and spend time with family and friends. Therefore, I’ve decided to make my winter vacation a productive one. Firstly, I plan to visit a historical city to broaden my horizons. Additionally, I will volunteer at a local charity center, helping those in need and giving back to the community. And of course, I will set aside time to just relax and enjoy the festive season with my family and friends.
Look forward to hearing from you and wish you a wonderful winter vacation!
Yours sincerely,
