An adorable dog has learnt to deal with life without sight thanks to the team at Dogs Trust’s Dog School. The dog Darwin was born at the charity’s Basildon centre in October last year after his mum was smuggled （偷运） into the country.
Staff soon discovered that he was completely blind， and required a family who were willing to support his needs. Thankfully， Darwin soon found his forever home with Bethany Godbert in Hertfordshire， and successfully graduated from Dog School at nine months old.
Charlotte Vallancey， a Dog School Coach， said， “As Darwin is blind， we adapted our usual training methods in order to help him and ensure the training was best suited to him and Bethany. Working on verbal cues （语言提示） was important and we used clear sounds that Darwin could easily pick up on， as well as using the smell of tasty treats as a guide for him to follow. We focused on the skills that Darwin would need to live safely and happily with his family.”
“We are very grateful to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for helping us to fund key roles. By helping to fund our Dog School Coaches， we are able to provide help and support for dogs like Darwin and his loving owner， Bethany.”
Darwin isn’t Bethany’s first rescue dog； she also adopted a three-year-old dog， Newton， in 2019. Bethany said， “Newton immediately accepted Darwin as his fur-brother and best friend， and they are great together. I was so impressed with how helpful Dog School was to Darwin， he enjoyed attending the training sessions， and all the help and support enabled me to understand how I can better communicate with Darwin. Since Darwin graduated， I began volunteering at the Dog School each week， so I can also help dogs like Darwin.”

Jim Fullan — a father of three and grandfather of nine — recently left his job of 36 years. Although he enjoyed his career， he felt unfulfilled （壮志未酬的）. “I wanted to do something else with my life，” he said， adding that he played baseball as a child， as well as in adult leagues in his 20s and 30s.
“I don’t want to be a spectator （观众）. I want to be a player，” he decided while sitting on the sidelines at his grandchild’s game. In addition to playing on a school baseball team， he wanted to earn a college degree — something he had not yet done， since he served in the military from 1984 to 1986 right out of high school.
So， he retired from his job as a postmaster at the Post Office in Wilkes-Barre， Pennsylvania， and applied to various community colleges last summer.
“Montgomery County Community College was the only one that accepted me，” Fullan said. “I’m not bad with my age group， but when you go up against kids a third of your age， it’s a real awakening.”
Although the first few practices were challenging for Fullan， he’s been learning to acclimate （使适应） himself. His coach， Mike Fitzgerald， has helped in that process. “It didn’t surprise me that somebody would want to have a shot playing at this level. What surprised me was that he stuck it out and could actually do it，” Fitzgerald said.
In addition to contributing to the team’s play， Fullan has also become a mentor （导师） to many of the players on the team.
“Jim is always giving us inspirational talks and keeping our heads up，” said Schuck， 18. “He brings great energy to the dugout （球员席）.”
Fullan hopes to get into coaching once he graduates. “It’s not about baseball. It’s about realizing your dreams in life. I want to inspire people through my actions， and not my words，” he said. “I’m really big on leading by example.”
5.What can we learn about Fullan before he studied at the community college？
A.He had never played baseball.
B.He had earned a college degree.
C.He had joined the army in high school.
D.He had been in charge of a local post office.
6.What happened when Fullan applied to community colleges？
A.He was refused by many community colleges.
B.He was invited to play at his grandchild’s game.
C.He found he was too old to compete with the young.
D.He got a letter of recommendation from coach Fitzgerald.
7.What was Schuck’s attitude towards Fullan’s joining the team？
A.Hopeful. B.Thankful.
C.Curious. D.Unconcerned.
8.What is Fullan’s new dream？
A.To further his education.
B.To play in adult leagues.
C.To coach a baseball team.
D.To be an inspirational speaker.

“Tech neck” happens when a person leans forward with his head tilted （倾斜） down to look at his phone， laptop， or keyboard. This position causes tension in the back and neck， which more and more people are experiencing nowadays. 9 Here are some ways to prevent tech neck， according to the experts.
Check the position of your body. “Most people lean over their desks to type， and this， to me， is the main cause of tech neck，” Dr Matthew Cooper， CEO of USA Sports Therapy， told Healthline. To keep yourself from leaning forward， Cooper recommends your shoulders resting at the back of your chair while you’re sitting. 10
Do neck exercises. Exercises are a must for anyone who spends the majority of his workday at a computer. 11 For example， tilt your head to the right. Bring your ear close to the shoulder. Hold for 20 seconds. Bring your head back to the center， and then tilt it to the left， again holding for 20 seconds. Repeat 3 － 5 times on each side.
12 Try to get up and walk around at least once an hour， leaving your phone on the desk. Frequent movement is very beneficial for the body. It keeps blood flowing and prevents muscles and joints from getting stiff.
Make your workstation helpful for proper position of your body. Use a desk and ergonomic （提高工效的） chair. 13 Your neck and back will thank you. Make sure you are sitting in a pleasurable seat， and that the computer is at eye level.
In order to avoid tech neck， let’s practice these healthy habits every day！
A.Take regular breaks.
B.Don’t choose a couch or dinner table.
C.There’re many ways recommended by experts.
D.Give your eyes a break by closing them when you are not at work.
E.Pulling your keyboard closer or putting it on your lap will help too.
F.Fortunately， we can make simple changes to have pain-free productivity.
G.Staring down at your phone or computer for a long time puts tension in your neck.

9.F 文章首句介绍了“科技颈”是如何产生的，空前一句说明现在越来越多的人正在遭受这种病症。由空后一句可知，下文是专家们介绍的一些预防“科技颈”的方法。由此可知，设空处应说明这种状况可以得到改变，F项（幸运的是，我们可以通过作出简单的改变来获得无痛的生产力）承上启下，符合语境。

12.A 根据空后一句可知，本段给出建议，要定期休息，并在休息时做些运动，离开手机和书桌。A项中的regular breaks与下文中的walk around at least once an hour相呼应，表示定期休息和运动，故A项（定期休息）符合语境。
13.B 根据空前两句可知，要让你的工作区有助于（保持）适合你身体的姿势。B项（不要选择长沙发或者餐桌）与空前一句相呼应，符合语境。

Dear Cathy，
I’ve heard that you’re feeling anxious while preparing for the coming piano contest. That’s why I’m writing to you.
You’re a born pianist. You can’t imagine how astonished I was when I saw your fingers flying across the piano keys. The music you were playing at that moment was so moving that I threw myself into the music and almost forgot everything around me. You have the power to relieve an audience of their burdens. Just play the piano as you always do and I believe you can make it！
Wish you all the best！
Yours，

A
An adorable dog has learnt to deal with life without sight thanks to the
team at Dogs Trust’s Dog School. The dog Darwin was born at the
charity’s Basildon centre in October last year after his mum was smuggled
（偷运） into the country.
Staff soon discovered that he was completely blind， and required a
family who were willing to support his needs. Thankfully， Darwin soon
found his forever home with Bethany Godbert in Hertfordshire， and
successfully graduated from Dog School at nine months old.
Charlotte Vallancey， a Dog School Coach， said， “As Darwin is
blind， we adapted our usual training methods in order to help him and
ensure the training was best suited to him and Bethany. Working on verbal
cues （语言提示） was important and we used clear sounds that Darwin
could easily pick up on， as well as using the smell of tasty treats as a
guide for him to follow. We focused on the skills that Darwin would need
to live safely and happily with his family.”
“We are very grateful to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for
helping us to fund key roles. By helping to fund our Dog School
Coaches， we are able to provide help and support for dogs like Darwin
and his loving owner， Bethany.”
Darwin isn’t Bethany’s first rescue dog； she also adopted a three-
year-old dog， Newton， in 2019. Bethany said， “Newton immediately
accepted Darwin as his fur-brother and best friend， and they are great
together. I was so impressed with how helpful Dog School was to
Darwin， he enjoyed attending the training sessions， and all the help and
support enabled me to understand how I can better communicate with
Darwin. Since Darwin graduated， I began volunteering at the Dog School
each week， so I can also help dogs like Darwin.”

Jim Fullan — a father of three and grandfather of nine — recently left
his job of 36 years. Although he enjoyed his career， he felt unfulfilled
（壮志未酬的）. “I wanted to do something else with my life，” he
said， adding that he played baseball as a child， as well as in adult
leagues in his 20s and 30s.
“I don’t want to be a spectator （观众）. I want to be a player，”
he decided while sitting on the sidelines at his grandchild’s game. In
addition to playing on a school baseball team， he wanted to earn a college
degree — something he had not yet done， since he served in the military
from 1984 to 1986 right out of high school.
So， he retired from his job as a postmaster at the Post Office in
Wilkes-Barre， Pennsylvania， and applied to various community
colleges last summer.
“Montgomery County Community College was the only one that
accepted me，” Fullan said. “I’m not bad with my age group， but
when you go up against kids a third of your age， it’s a real awakening.”
Although the first few practices were challenging for Fullan， he’s
been learning to acclimate （使适应） himself. His coach， Mike
Fitzgerald， has helped in that process. “It didn’t surprise me that
somebody would want to have a shot playing at this level. What surprised
me was that he stuck it out and could actually do it，” Fitzgerald said.
In addition to contributing to the team’s play， Fullan has also
become a mentor （导师） to many of the players on the team.
“Jim is always giving us inspirational talks and keeping our heads
up，” said Schuck， 18. “He brings great energy to the dugout （球员
席）.”
Fullan hopes to get into coaching once he graduates. “It’s not about
baseball. It’s about realizing your dreams in life. I want to inspire people
through my actions， and not my words，” he said. “I’m really big on
leading by example.”

“Tech neck” happens when a person leans forward with his head
tilted （倾斜） down to look at his phone， laptop， or keyboard. This
position causes tension in the back and neck， which more and more
people are experiencing nowadays. 9 Here are some ways to prevent
tech neck， according to the experts.
Check the position of your body. “Most people lean over their desks
to type， and this， to me， is the main cause of tech neck，” Dr
Matthew Cooper， CEO of USA Sports Therapy， told Healthline. To
keep yourself from leaning forward， Cooper recommends your shoulders
resting at the back of your chair while you’re sitting. 10
Do neck exercises. Exercises are a must for anyone who spends the
majority of his workday at a computer. 11 For example， tilt your
head to the right. Bring your ear close to the shoulder. Hold for 20 seconds.
Bring your head back to the center， and then tilt it to the left， again
holding for 20 seconds. Repeat 3－5 times on each side.
12 Try to get up and walk around at least once an hour， leaving
your phone on the desk. Frequent movement is very beneficial for the
body. It keeps blood flowing and prevents muscles and joints from getting
stiff.
Make your workstation helpful for proper position of your body. Use a
desk and ergonomic （提高工效的） chair. 13 Your neck and back
will thank you. Make sure you are sitting in a pleasurable seat， and that
the computer is at eye level.
In order to avoid tech neck， let’s practice these healthy habits every
day！
A. Take regular breaks.
B. Don’t choose a couch or dinner table.
C. There’re many ways recommended by experts.
D. Give your eyes a break by closing them when you are not at work.
E. Pulling your keyboard closer or putting it on your lap will help too.
F. Fortunately， we can make simple changes to have pain-free
productivity.
G. Staring down at your phone or computer for a long time puts tension in
your neck.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种避免患上“科
技颈”的方法。
9. F 文章首句介绍了“科技颈”是如何产生的，空前一句说明现在
越来越多的人正在遭受这种病症。由空后一句可知，下文是专家们介
绍的一些预防“科技颈”的方法。由此可知，设空处应说明这种状况
可以得到改变，F项（幸运的是，我们可以通过作出简单的改变来获
得无痛的生产力）承上启下，符合语境。
10. E 根据空前一句可知，此处介绍了避免身体前倾的方法，E项
（把键盘放得更近一点或将其放在腿上也可以有所帮助）承接上文，
符合语境。
11. C 根据空前一句可知，对于大部分时间都在电脑前工作的人而
言，做一些动作练习是必不可少的。再根据空后一句可知，下文举例
说明了练习方法，由此可推知，C项（专家推荐了许多种方法）符合
语境，引出下文的举例。
12. A 根据空后一句可知，本段给出建议，要定期休息，并在休息时
做些运动，离开手机和书桌。A项中的regular breaks与下文中的walk
around at least once an hour相呼应，表示定期休息和运动，故A项（定
期休息）符合语境。
13. B 根据空前两句可知，要让你的工作区有助于（保持）适合你身
体的姿势。B项（不要选择长沙发或者餐桌）与空前一句相呼应，符
合语境。

参考范文：
Dear Cathy，
I’ve heard that you’re feeling anxious while preparing for the coming
piano contest. That’s why I’m writing to you.
You’re a born pianist. You can’t imagine how astonished I was when I
saw your fingers flying across the piano keys. The music you were playing
at that moment was so moving that I threw myself into the music and
almost forgot everything around me. You have the power to relieve an
audience of their burdens. Just play the piano as you always do and I
believe you can make it！
Wish you all the best！
Yours，
Li Hua
