On that afternoon, as the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts (概念), dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in.Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention.No one grasped the concepts.Except for Jack.He understood them and answered all the questions correctly.The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it.Encouraged by his newfound success, Jack moved quickly throughout the room.Soon math time was followed by the time for art.All children naturally drew dark pictures on such a day.Except for Jack.
Since then, Jack started improving.Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Jack
On the day Jack graduated, he presented the teacher with his most precious possession — the picture of a bright yellow sun.On the picture Jack had written: This is the day I woke_up_to my brightness.

Starting a new term always feels a little bit like the beginning of a new year. Last year, as a fresher, I felt a little worried at the beginning of each term. That's why, this year, I want to start the term with a positive mind.I have collected some ways that can really help improve my confidence.
It has been found that if we want to succeed, we should break our new plan into smaller tasks. It sounds easy, but how do we start?It is a good idea to write down things you will do every evening. Start with the most important task and then focus on smaller tasks that you are sure you will be able to complete. If you are not a fan of a paper to do list, there are so many fun apps. Sticking to the plan will stop you from doing everything at the last minute.
It is also very important to stay active. Set a goal of 10,000 steps a day or go for a run with a friend. Honestly, you don't even need to go to a gym, because there are different kinds of exercises online. You can even stretch (伸展) for 15 minutes every day. Just choose whatever works for you. Exercise can improve our ability to sleep,reduce stress and make us healthy.
Before starting the term, think of your goals — not only those towards which you are working, but also those that you've already managed to achieve. Don't feel too anxious, notice your progress and always remember to take a rest. Keep in mind that everything takes time. Take a 10 minute rest between lessons, which can be a conversation with a friend, checking the news, or taking a walk. In short, do something for yourself.
8.How did the author feel when he started a new term last year
A.Anxious. B.Curious.
C.Confused. D.Confident.
9.What should we do to start a new term according to the second paragraph
A.Keep a diary. B.Change plans often.
C.Make a to do list. D.Focus on what we like.
10.What does the author say about exercise
A.Online exercises are much better.
B.Taking exercise in a gym is useless.
C.We must spend a lot of time on exercise.
D.It is important to choose exercise that is helpful to us.
11.In which part of a newspaper can we read this text
A.Relationship. B.Lifestyle.
C.News. D.Travel.

It's school time again! You're probably feeling anxious and maybe a little frightened that summer vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick_off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you'll be doing this year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you'll be glad about what you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋). It can also make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.
12.The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A.start B.study
C.find D.teach
13.According to the text, you usually do everything on the first day of school EXCEPT ________.
A.introducing yourself
B.learning about the school rules
C.making new friends
D.going over your new lessons
14.The last paragraph mainly tells us about ________.
A.what to know about a new school
B.how to prepare for a new school
C.what to do on your first day of school
D.how to spend your first day of school
15.The main idea of the text is ________.
A.how to be used to a new school quickly
B.how to make new friends in a new school
C.what to wear on the first day of the new school
D.what to prepare for the first day of the new school

Many people get nervous before taking a test. Some of them are so consumed by anxiety that they actually defeat themselves, performing poorly in the exam even when they know the material they are being tested on. But there are ways to help calm your nerves and be prepared.__16__
Take plenty of time to prepare for each test.

Practice taking the test — even if you're taking it at home. Allow yourself only the time given for the actual test. Practice working through sections as quickly and effectively as possible, identifying and focusing on areas where you need to improve.

Follow the directions carefully.

From the day he met Jackson, Tom became his fan. For Tom, 11 year old Jackson seemed to be a big boy. He would always follow Jackson around.
Tom didn't go to school. He was admitted to a local government school, but he refused to go. He told Jackson shyly that the teachers only made them copy words from the blackboard.Since he hadn't learned how to read, he could not understand anything that was written on the blackboard. Jackson felt sorry for him. On Sunday, Jackson saw Tom sitting under a tree holding an alphabet (字母表) book in his hands. Jackson walked quietly towards him and discovered that Tom was holding the book upside down.
Jackson took the book out of Tom's hands and turned the right side up. “This is how you should read,” he told Tom. Two big tears rolled down Tom's cheeks. Tom told Jackson, “I want to be like you, but I can't do anything.” That evening, Jackson told his parents they had to help Tom get into a better school. It was not easy to make Tom admitted to a new school, because the time for admission was over.
Luckily, one principal (校长) looked at Tom kindly and admitted him to her school. The next day Tom went to his new school wearing a new shirt. But when Tom returned from school, he was a bit sad.The other children in his class had laughed at him. He told Jackson, “They all said I am much older than them but in a smaller class. I don't want to go to school.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Jackson said, “Don't worry, Tom. I will teach you to read.”

第一节 参考范文:
Hello everyone,
I'm Li Hua, a boy of sixteen. Now I'm glad to introduce myself to you.
When it comes to my personality, I'm confident and outgoing, so I'm popular with my friends. My hobby is playing the piano. I've been practising it since I was five. So far, I've taken part in many piano contests and won several gold medals. My dream is to become a pianist. I hope my dream can come true.
This is me, an outgoing and confident boy.
第二节 参考范文:
Jackson said, “Don't worry, Tom. I will teach you to read.” “Can I be the same as you?” Tom asked with hope. “Sure, if you want to,” answered Jackson. Then the two made a reading plan together. On the day both of them went to school, while on the night they spent at least two hours reading the alphabet book. With Jackson's help, Tom began to understand the thing that was written on the blackboard slowly.
Two months later, Tom returned from school with a bright smile. He rushed into the house and couldn't wait to tell that he was praised by the teacher, who said he made such great progress in a short time. And all the classmates were astonished at his improvement. “Thank you, you do make a difference to me,” Tom said to Jackson. “No, it is you who you should say thanks. Always remember that anyone can make a difference. Just don't give up!”
