（2024·沧州十校高二下月考）Casey McIntyre recently died of cancer.Before she passed away， Ms McIntyre set up a way to help others.Now， over $600，000 has been donated in her memory， and that money will help to pay off around $60 million of other people’s medical bills.
Ms McIntyre， who was 38， worked as a publisher in New York City.In 2019， doctors told her that she had a serious kind of cancer.Though doctors treated her for the cancer， Ms McIntyre’s health got worse.
But she realised that in a way， she was luckier than some other people.She had insurance to help pay for her medical care.“Casey had no medical debt，” said her husband， Andrew Rose Gregory.That means she didn’t owe money for her medical care.
But Ms McIntyre and her husband knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care.Ms McIntyre worried about others who weren’t as lucky as she had been.
Soon， Ms McIntyre and her husband began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt.This group works to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others.Usually， the group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they actually cost.In other words， for every $100 donated， the group can pay off $10，000 in unpaid medical bills.
On 12 November， Ms McIntyre passed away.Mr Gregory posted a message for Ms McIntyre on her social media accounts.“If you’re reading this I have passed away，” the post began.Then the post explained， “To celebrate my life， I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debt and then destroy the debt.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose.They had hoped to raise about $20，000.But Ms McIntyre’s post attracted a lot of attention.As of 22 November， Ms McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627，000， or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debt.
1.In which way did Ms McIntyre feel luckier？（ ）
A.She had a happy family.
B.Her illness wasn’t serious.
C.Her husband was healthy.
D.She had medical insurance.
2.What’s the purpose of RIP Medical Debt？（ ）

3.Why did Mr Gregory post a message on social media？（ ）
A.To announce her wife’s death.
B.To appeal for some donations.

（2024·南京高二下质检）Want a longer life？ Volunteer to do good and you might benefit at least as much.And being selfless can also be good for both body and soul.
A new review of the health effects of volunteering found that helping others on a regular basis can reduce early mortality rates （死亡率） by 22%， compared to those in people who don’t participate in such activities.
The review also revealed that volunteers benefit from reduced rates of depression and an increased sense of life satisfaction and wellbeing — doing good， it seems， made them feel good.
But don’t expect to enjoy the benefits of long life after donating a few coins in the next charity collection.It takes regular sacrifice of time and effort to engage the sense of reward that comes from volunteering — in the research， participants volunteered at least an hour of work， once a month and often， pitched in more frequently.
Helping others probably benefits health by increasing social contact and reducing loneliness， which another review found to be as dangerous as smoking in contributing to high blood pressure， heart attacks and strokes and dementia.In contrast， socializing with friends and family — which volunteer work promotes — lowers dementia risk.
But taken too extremes， even being selfless can be too much of a good thing.The authors found some studies that suggested people who sacrificed in order to care for family members could become less healthy both emotionally and physically， since they are frequently overwhelmed （使受不了） with heavy responsibilities.The same can be true for other types of volunteering， if the activities start to become a burden rather than a relief.
“There may be a fine line between volunteering enough to experience mental health benefits （up to 10 hours a month） and spending too much time volunteering so it becomes a burden，” the authors write.“If volunteering becomes a burden， this may lead to ‘burnout’.”
They also note that more work is needed to understand whether volunteering actually improves health and leads to longer lives； it may be that volunteers are generally more active and socially engaged， and therefore healthier to begin with.
5.What did the new review of the health effects of volunteering mainly find？（ ）
A.Volunteering can be good for body.
B.Volunteering can be good for mind.
C.Helping others will help us live longer.
D.Helping others will make us feel good.
6.By saying “But don’t expect to enjoy the benefits of long life after donating a few coins in the next charity collection.”， the writer suggests that .（ ）
A.we should do good deeds regularly
B.little help doesn’t make much difference
C.money is not enough in helping others
D.it’s unreasonable to expect to live longer
7.Paragraph 5 mainly conveys the message that .（ ）
A.smoking causes many diseases
B.loneliness may do great harm to health
C.doing good improves our mental health
D.helping others makes us contact more people
8.Which proverb can best summarize the sixth paragraph？（ ）
A.It’s difficult to please all.
B.Too much is as bad as too little.
C.Love makes the world go around.
D.You can only do one thing at a time.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·重庆高二下月考）Obviously， confidence is something we want.We feel better when we’re confident and confidence makes us better at nearly everything that we do.
9.（ ）： our children， our students， and our employees.So， we encourage them by saying phrases like， “You got this！”
That’s because we’ve all been taught this diagram called the confidence/competence loop （环形）.The loop works as follows： 10.（ ）， the more success you have， and the more confident you become， which， in turn， boosts your belief in yourself and makes you more competent.It’s a virtuous cycle.
The problem is that the confidence loop only explains the confidence cycle for individuals， not for interpersonal or group settings.There are two different types of success：“task success” and “relationship success”.“Will I win the game？” is a task-success question.“Will you still be there if I lose？” is a relationship-success question.11.（ ）？ Which one matters more to you？
In interpersonal settings， the success of the relationship matters more than the success of the task.If I fail at my task， then I’m only letting myself down.But if I fail at our task， then I’m letting you down.
12.（ ）， then I will not perform at a high level because the stakes are too high.If I think that messing up a project will get me fired， then I will not perform at a high level because the stakes are too high.That’s not confidence， that’s fear.
That’s why I say in my speeches，“Stop telling people， ‘You got this.’ Instead， tell them what they really need to hear，‘I got you.’”
Almost every truly confident person has someone who supports them unconditionally and independently of their win/loss track record.13.（ ）.Let them know，“Hey， you’ve got this.And if even you don’t， then I’ve got you.”
A.The more competent you are
B.Which one feels more significant
C.Why should we become confident
D.Be an unconditional supporter of someone else
E.But we also want those we care about to have it as well
F.It means being certain of your abilities or of having trust in people
G.If I think that losing the game will cause everyone to turn their backs on me

VOLUNTEERING IN THE BUSH
8 March
I just got a parcel① from home！ It took about two weeks to arrive， and it was a bit damaged， but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam② from home；I’ve been dying to③ have some of my favourite sweets， and it’s always nice to get mail④！
So I’ve been here in the jungle for about a month now.My secondary⑤ school is a bush school.[1]The classrooms are made of bamboo， with clay⑥ floors and roofs of grass.It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty⑦ track covered in weeds⑧.When I reach the school grounds， I’m greeted by a chorus⑨ of “good morning” from the boys.Unlike students in our country， these boys do not wear cotton⑩ uniforms ，and many of them also have to walk a long way， sometimes for up to two hours， just to get to school.
There’s no electricity， running water or even textbooks，not to mention laptops， tablets ， or other modern devices！[2]All the students have are pencils， rubbers ， and paper.I’m still trying to adapt to these conditions.I’ve had to become much more imaginative in my teaching.Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments.There is no equipment， and since there isn’t even a washroom ， if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a basin！[3]It’s important not to be too rigid about rules here， too.[4]The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when， before I knew it， the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everywhere！[5]The class became a circus as the boys，who had never come across anything like this before， started jumping out of the windows.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students — few will ever become chemists — and most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.[6]To be honest ， I doubt whether I’m making any difference to these boys’ lives at all.
[1]with短语作伴随状语。
[2]the students have是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词All。
[3]It作形式主语，动词不定式短语not to be too rigid about rules here是真正的主语。
[4]be doing ... when ...意为“正在做……这时（突然）……”；before引导时间状语从句，意为“没来得及……就……”。
[5]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the boys。
[6]whether引导宾语从句。
17 April
Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village，home to one of our students，Tombe.[7]Another teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get there — first， up a mountain from where we had fantastic views， and then down a shaded path to the valley below.When we arrived at the village， Tombe’s mother， Kiak，saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”.We shook hands with all the villagers.Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.
[8]Tombe’s father， Mukap， a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead ， led us to his house， a low， round bamboo hut with no windows， with a door just big enough to get through， and with grass sticking out of the roof — this shows it is a man’s house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust.Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on.There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut.[9]The only possessions I could see were one broom， a few saucers ， a kettle ， cups， pans ， and a couple of jars.
[7]from where引导定语从句。
[8]a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead作Mukap的同位语；a low，round bamboo hut 作house的同位语；with no windows， with a door just big enough to get through和with grass sticking out of the roof是三个with的复合结构。
[9]I could see是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词possessions；先行词被only修饰，定语从句引导词只能用that，不能用which。
Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat.He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau （sweet potato）， ripe corn， and greens.He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam.It smelled delicious.[10]We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire.[11]I loved listening to the family talking softly to each other in their language， even though I could not participate much in the conversation.Luckily， Tombe interpreted for us.
Later， I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the fire.After a while， Tombe threw it out of the doorway.Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food.His family believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night， so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes.My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home.That evening I fell happily into bed.[12]It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family.
[10]动词-ing短语sitting round the fire作方式状语。
[11]listen to sb doing sth意为“听某人正在做某事”；even though引导让步状语从句。
[12]It was a privilege to do sth意为“做某事是一种殊荣”；to have done为动词不定式的完成式，表明该动作比谓语动词的动作先发生。

丛林里的志愿行动
3月8日
我刚收到一个从家里寄来的包裹！大约花了两周的时间包裹才到达，而且有点破损，但是真高兴能收到家里寄来的一些糖果和果酱；我一直非常渴望吃一些我最喜欢的糖果，而且收到邮包总是令人开心不已！
到现在我已经在丛林里待了大约一个月了。我所在的中学是一所丛林学校。教室是用竹子搭建的，黏土夯的地面，茅草搭的屋顶。沿着杂草丛生、尘土飞扬的小路，我几分钟就能走到学校。我走进校园时，男孩们齐声对我喊“早上好”。与我们国家的学生不同，这些男孩不穿棉制校服，他们中的很多人得长途跋涉，有时长达两个小时才能到学校。
那儿没有电，没有自来水，甚至没有课本，更别提笔记本电脑、平板电脑或者别的现代化设备！学生们只有铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在努力适应这些条件。在我的教学中，我不得不变得更有想象力。科学课是我最具挑战性的科目，因为我的学生没有做实验的概念。这里没有设备，甚至连洗手间都没有。如果需要水，我得用盆子从我的房子里端来！在这里，很重要的一点是也不能太墨守成规。几天前，我正在给男孩们演示一个化学实验，在我反应过来前，混合物冒着泡从试管中涌出，洒得到处都是！班上乱成了马戏团，男孩们纷纷跳窗跑走，因为他们以前从没遇到过像这样的事情。有时，我会想化学对这些学生来说到底有多大的用处——几乎没有人会成为化学家——而且大多数人无论如何在八年级后都要回到自己的村庄。说实话，我怀疑我是否能给这些男孩们的生活带来不同。
4月17日
上周末，我第一次去了一个偏远的村庄，我们的学生汤贝的家在那里。我和另一位老师步行了两个半小时才到达那里。首先，爬上一座山，在山上我们看到了美妙的景色，然后沿着一条树荫遮蔽的小路走到下面的山谷。我们到达村子时，汤贝的母亲齐亚克看见我们到来，就“唉咿——唉咿——”地叫了起来。我们和所有的村民握手。每个人似乎都是汤贝的亲戚。
汤贝的父亲穆卡普，一位下巴结实、额头满是皱纹的男人，把我们带到他的房子前：一座低矮的圆形竹屋，没有窗户，门的宽度仅够单人穿过，屋顶伸出一簇茅草——这表明这是一个男人的房子。这样的房屋里面很暗，所以过了一会儿我们的眼睛才适应过来。地上铺着新草，还有一个让我和珍妮睡觉的平台。屋子中央有个火炉。我能看到的物品只有一把扫帚、几个碟子、一个水壶，还有几个杯子、平底锅和罐子。
穆卡普在屋外生了火，然后把石头放在上面加热。接着，他把热石头放入一个空油桶，里面有栲栲（甘薯）、熟玉米和青菜。然后他用香蕉叶盖住蔬菜，把它们蒸上。食物闻起来很香。我们在屋内围着火炉吃饭。我喜欢听这家人用他们的语言轻声地交谈，虽然我无法参与多少他们的谈话。幸好汤贝为我们做了解说。
后来，我注意到有一个罐子倒立在火炉上面的烤架上。过了一会儿，汤贝把它扔出门口去。他告诉我说，加热罐子是为了烤干剩菜。他们家相信剩菜会在夜晚引来恶灵，所以所有的剩菜都放在罐子里烤干，然后再把罐子扔到屋外。
次日清晨，多次互道再见和紧紧握手之后，我们离开了村庄。当我们拖着沉重的步伐下山回家时，我浑身肌肉酸痛，双膝颤抖。那天晚上，我心满意足地一头栽倒在床上。和汤贝一家人度过了一天，真是荣幸。

VOLUNTEERING IN THE BUSH
8 March
I just got a parcel① from home！ It took about two weeks to arrive，
and it was a bit damaged， but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam②
from home；I’ve been dying to③ have some of my favourite sweets，
and it’s always nice to get mail④！
So I’ve been here in the jungle for about a month now.My
secondary⑤ school is a bush school.[1]The classrooms are made of
bamboo， with clay⑥ floors and roofs of grass.It takes me only a few
minutes to walk to school down a dusty⑦ track covered in weeds⑧.When
I reach the school grounds， I’m greeted by a chorus⑨ of “good
morning” from the boys.Unlike students in our country， these boys do
not wear cotton⑩ uniforms ，and many of them also have to walk a long
way， sometimes for up to two hours， just to get to school.
There’s no electricity， running water or even textbooks，not to
mention laptops， tablets ， or other modern devices！[2]All the
students have are pencils， rubbers ， and paper.I’m still trying to
adapt to these conditions.I’ve had to become much more imaginative
in my teaching.Science is my most challenging subject as my students
have no concept of doing experiments.There is no equipment， and since
there isn’t even a washroom ， if I need water I have to carry it from
my house in a basin！[3]It’s important not to be too rigid about rules
here， too.[
4]The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when，
before I knew it， the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling
everywhere！[5]The class became a circus as the boys，who had never
come across anything like this before， started jumping out of the
windows.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these
students — few will ever become chemists — and most will be going
back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.[6]To be honest ， I doubt
whether I’m making any difference to these boys’ lives at all.
[1]with短语作伴随状语。
[2]the students have是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行
词All。
[3]It作形式主语，动词不定式短语not to be too rigid about rules
here是真正的主语。
[4]be doing ... when ...意为“正在做……这时（突
然）……”；before引导时间状语从句，意为“没来得及……
就……”。
[5]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the boys。
[6]whether引导宾语从句。

17 April
Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village，home to one
of our students，Tombe.[7]Another teacher and I walked for two and a
half hours to get there — first， up a mountain from where we had
fantastic views， and then down a shaded path to the valley below.When
we arrived at the village， Tombe’s mother， Kiak，saw us coming and
started crying “ieee ieee”.We shook hands with all the
villagers.Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.
[8]Tombe’s father， Mukap， a man with a strong jaw and a
wrinkled forehead ， led us to his house， a low， round bamboo hut
with no windows， with a door just big enough to get through， and with
grass sticking out of the roof — this shows it is a man’s house. Such
housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust.Fresh grass
had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to
sleep on.There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut.[9]The only
possessions I could see were one broom， a few saucers ， a kettle ，
cups， pans ， and a couple of jars.
[7]from where引导定语从句。
[8]a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead作Mukap的同位
语；a low，round bamboo hut 作house的同位语；with no windows，
with a door just big enough to get through和with grass sticking out of the
roof是三个with的复合结构。
[9]I could see是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词
possessions；先行词被only修饰，定语从句引导词只能用that，不能
用which。

Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat.He then
placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau （sweet
potato）， ripe corn， and greens.He then covered the vegetables with
banana leaves and left them to steam.It smelled delicious.[10]We ate
inside the hut sitting round the fire.[11]I loved listening to the family
talking softly to each other in their language， even though I could not
participate much in the conversation.Luckily， Tombe interpreted for us.
Later， I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the
fire.After a while， Tombe threw it out of the doorway.Tombe told me
that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food.His family believes
that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night， so any leftover food is dried
up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm
handshakes.My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we
dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home.That evening I fell
happily into bed.[12]It was such a privilege to have spent a day with
Tombe’s family.
[10]动词-ing短语sitting round the fire作方式状语。
[11]listen to sb doing sth意为“听某人正在做某事”；even
though引导让步状语从句。
[12]It was a privilege to do sth意为“做某事是一种殊荣”；to
have done为动词不定式的完成式，表明该动作比谓语动词的动作先
发生。
build a fire 生火
ripe adj.成熟的；时机成熟的
upside down 上下颠倒的
dry out （使浸水等之物）完全变干；干透
drag vt.拖；拽vt.& vi.缓慢而费力地移动

【参考译文】
丛林里的志愿行动
3月8日
我刚收到一个从家里寄来的包裹！大约花了两周的时间包裹才到
达，而且有点破损，但是真高兴能收到家里寄来的一些糖果和果酱；
我一直非常渴望吃一些我最喜欢的糖果，而且收到邮包总是令人开心
不已！
到现在我已经在丛林里待了大约一个月了。我所在的中学是一所
丛林学校。教室是用竹子搭建的，黏土夯的地面，茅草搭的屋顶。沿
着杂草丛生、尘土飞扬的小路，我几分钟就能走到学校。我走进校园
时，男孩们齐声对我喊“早上好”。与我们国家的学生不同，这些男
孩不穿棉制校服，他们中的很多人得长途跋涉，有时长达两个小时才
能到学校。
那儿没有电，没有自来水，甚至没有课本，更别提笔记本电脑、
平板电脑或者别的现代化设备！学生们只有铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在
努力适应这些条件。在我的教学中，我不得不变得更有想象力。科学
课是我最具挑战性的科目，因为我的学生没有做实验的概念。这里没
有设备，甚至连洗手间都没有。如果需要水，我得用盆子从我的房子
里端来！在这里，很重要的一点是也不能太墨守成规。几天前，我正
在给男孩们演示一个化学实验，在我反应过来前，混合物冒着泡从试
管中涌出，洒得到处都是！班上乱成了马戏团，男孩们纷纷跳窗跑
走，因为他们以前从没遇到过像这样的事情。有时，我会想化学对这些学生来说到底有多大的用处——几乎没有人会成为化学家——而且大多数人无论如何在八年级后都要回到自己的村庄。说实话，我怀疑我是否能给这些男孩们的生活带来不同。
4月17日
上周末，我第一次去了一个偏远的村庄，我们的学生汤贝的家在
那里。我和另一位老师步行了两个半小时才到达那里。首先，爬上一
座山，在山上我们看到了美妙的景色，然后沿着一条树荫遮蔽的小路
走到下面的山谷。我们到达村子时，汤贝的母亲齐亚克看见我们到
来，就“唉咿——唉咿——”地叫了起来。我们和所有的村民握手。
每个人似乎都是汤贝的亲戚。
汤贝的父亲穆卡普，一位下巴结实、额头满是皱纹的男人，把我
们带到他的房子前：一座低矮的圆形竹屋，没有窗户，门的宽度仅够
单人穿过，屋顶伸出一簇茅草——这表明这是一个男人的房子。这样
的房屋里面很暗，所以过了一会儿我们的眼睛才适应过来。地上铺着
新草，还有一个让我和珍妮睡觉的平台。屋子中央有个火炉。我能看
到的物品只有一把扫帚、几个碟子、一个水壶，还有几个杯子、平底
锅和罐子。
穆卡普在屋外生了火，然后把石头放在上面加热。接着，他把热
石头放入一个空油桶，里面有栲栲（甘薯）、熟玉米和青菜。然后他
用香蕉叶盖住蔬菜，把它们蒸上。食物闻起来很香。我们在屋内围着
火炉吃饭。我喜欢听这家人用他们的语言轻声地交谈，虽然我无法参
与多少他们的谈话。幸好汤贝为我们做了解说。
后来，我注意到有一个罐子倒立在火炉上面的烤架上。过了一会
儿，汤贝把它扔出门口去。他告诉我说，加热罐子是为了烤干剩菜。
他们家相信剩菜会在夜晚引来恶灵，所以所有的剩菜都放在罐子里烤
干，然后再把罐子扔到屋外。
次日清晨，多次互道再见和紧紧握手之后，我们离开了村庄。当
我们拖着沉重的步伐下山回家时，我浑身肌肉酸痛，双膝颤抖。那天
晚上，我心满意足地一头栽倒在床上。和汤贝一家人度过了一天，真
是荣幸。

（2024·沧州十校高二下月考）Casey McIntyre recently died of
cancer.Before she passed away， Ms McIntyre set up a way to help
others.Now， over $600，000 has been donated in her memory， and
that money will help to pay off around $60 million of other people’s
medical bills.
Ms McIntyre， who was 38， worked as a publisher in New York
City.In 2019， doctors told her that she had a serious kind of
cancer.Though doctors treated her for the cancer， Ms McIntyre’s health
got worse.
But she realised that in a way， she was luckier than some other
people.She had insurance to help pay for her medical care.“Casey had
no medical debt，” said her husband， Andrew Rose Gregory.That
means she didn’t owe money for her medical care.
But Ms McIntyre and her husband knew that many people with cancer
face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care.Ms McIntyre
worried about others who weren’t as lucky as she had been.
Soon， Ms McIntyre and her husband began donating money to a
group called RIP Medical Debt.This group works to pay off the unpaid
medical debts of others.Usually， the group can pay off medical bills for
about 100 times less money than they actually cost.In other words， for
every $100 donated， the group can pay off $10，000 in unpaid medical
bills.
On 12 November， Ms McIntyre passed away.Mr Gregory posted a
message for Ms McIntyre on her social media accounts.“If you’re
reading this I have passed away，” the post began.Then the post
explained， “To celebrate my life， I’ve arranged to buy up others’
medical debt and then destroy the debt.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this
purpose.They had hoped to raise about $20，000.But Ms McIntyre’s
post attracted a lot of attention.As of 22 November， Ms McIntyre’s
web page had raised over $627，000， or enough money to pay off about
$60 million in medical debt.

（2024·南京高二下质检）Want a longer life？ Volunteer to do good
and you might benefit at least as much.And being selfless can also be good
for both body and soul.
A new review of the health effects of volunteering found that helping
others on a regular basis can reduce early mortality rates （死亡率） by
22%， compared to those in people who don’t participate in such
activities.
The review also revealed that volunteers benefit from reduced rates of
depression and an increased sense of life satisfaction and wellbeing —
doing good， it seems， made them feel good.
But don’t expect to enjoy the benefits of long life after donating a
few coins in the next charity collection.It takes regular sacrifice of time
and effort to engage the sense of reward that comes from volunteering —
in the research， participants volunteered at least an hour of work， once
a month and often， pitched in more frequently.
Helping others probably benefits health by increasing social contact
and reducing loneliness， which another review found to be as dangerous
as smoking in contributing to high blood pressure， heart attacks and
strokes and dementia.In contrast， socializing with friends and family —
which volunteer work promotes — lowers dementia risk.
But taken too extremes， even being selfless can be too much of a
good thing.The authors found some studies that suggested people who
sacrificed in order to care for family members could become less healthy
both emotionally and physically， since they are frequently overwhelmed
（使受不了） with heavy responsibilities.The same can be true for other
types of volunteering， if the activities start to become a burden rather
than a relief.
“There may be a fine line between volunteering enough to
experience mental health benefits （up to 10 hours a month） and
spending too much time volunteering so it becomes a burden，” the
authors write.“If volunteering becomes a burden， this may lead to
‘burnout’.”
They also note that more work is needed to understand whether
volunteering actually improves health and leads to longer lives； it may be
that volunteers are generally more active and socially engaged， and
therefore healthier to begin with.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·重庆高二下月考）Obviously， confidence is something we
want.We feel better when we’re confident and confidence makes us
better at nearly everything that we do.
9. （ ）： our children， our students， and our
employees.So， we encourage them by saying phrases like， “You got
this！”
That’s because we’ve all been taught this diagram called the
confidence/competence loop （环形）.The loop works as follows： 10.
（ ）， the more success you have， and the more confident you
become， which， in turn， boosts your belief in yourself and makes you
more competent.It’s a virtuous cycle.
The problem is that the confidence loop only explains the confidence
cycle for individuals， not for interpersonal or group settings.There are
two different types of success：“task success” and “relationship
success”.“Will I win the game？” is a task-success question.“Will
you still be there if I lose？” is a relationship-success question.11.
（ ）？ Which one matters more to you？
In interpersonal settings， the success of the relationship matters
more than the success of the task.If I fail at my task， then I’m only
letting myself down.But if I fail at our task， then I’m letting you down.
12. （ ）， then I will not perform at a high level because the
stakes are too high.If I think that messing up a project will get me fired，
then I will not perform at a high level because the stakes are too
high.That’s not confidence， that’s fear.
That’s why I say in my speeches，“Stop telling people， ‘You
got this.’ Instead， tell them what they really need to hear，‘I got
you.’”
Almost every truly confident person has someone who supports them
unconditionally and independently of their win/loss track record.13.
（ ）.Let them know，“Hey， you’ve got this.And if even you
don’t， then I’ve got you.”
A. The more competent you are
B. Which one feels more significant
C. Why should we become confident
D. Be an unconditional supporter of someone else
E. But we also want those we care about to have it as well
F. It means being certain of your abilities or of having trust in people
G. If I think that losing the game will cause everyone to turn their backs
on me
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。人人都需要自信，我们在自己建立
自信的同时，也应该帮助他人建立自信。
9. E 下文中的our children， our students， and our employees正好与E
项中的those对应。
10. A 下文接连出现两个the more ...句式，正好与A项相匹配。
11. B 上文列举了两个问题，这里针对这两个问题进行分析；后面
句子Which one matters more to you？暗示B项符合语境，与其并列。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。人人都需要自信，我们在自己建立

13. D 上句指出：几乎每个真正自信的人都有人无条件地支持他/
她。D项则接着建议我们去无条件地支持他人。
