690 During the year my daughter Anna got into college, my father was suffering from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症). He kept talking about buying Anna a new phone as a present!

“Did you see that ” Joe said to his friend Bill.
“You’re a great shooter!”
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.
“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.”
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.
“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.”
“You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.
“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
“Practice without me” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.
Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.
“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

In China, pets are often considered as part of the family and are described as “fur children”. Unluckily, many pet owners in China experience the heartbreak of losing their beloved pets. The reasons for pets going missing can be different such as running away because of fear or anxiety, getting lost while on walks, or being stolen for illegal (非法的) pet trade. This has given rise to a new industry of “pet detectives” who specialize (专营) in finding and saving lost pets and reuniting them with their owners.
In recent years, the pet detective industry has appeared as a new job in China’s big cities. With the growing number of pet owners, there has been an increase in need for professionals who can help locate (确定位置) lost pets. Most pet detectives work alone or with just a few partners and can charge between 3,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per case depending on the difficulty of the search.
Pet detective Yan Zhiyong from Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province is one such professional who, after receiving an order, goes to the scene with one to two partners equipped with headlamps, torches (电筒), and other tools necessary for locating missing pets. The rise of this industry shows the importance that pets hold in Chinese households and how far owners are willing to go to ensure their beloved “fur children” are safe and healthy.
Pet detective work is not without its challenges. These professionals must be prepared to work long hours, often in difficult conditions, to search for lost pets. They may have to go through strange neighborhoods or areas, and deal with uncooperative or unfriendly people who are not interested in this case. Moreover, pet detectives must be skilled at understanding animals’ behavior and the practical ways in order to locate missing pets.
Although there’re many challenges, the need for pet detective services continues to grow in China as more and more pet owners seek help in finding their beloved “fur children”.
10. From passage 1, we can know that many pet owners in China feel sad because ________.
A. their “fur children” get lost
B it’s expensive to search for their lost pets
C. others tell them their pets might be stolen
D. their pets will run away from home one day
11. According to the passage, what can be the cause of the appearance of a new industry
A. The difficulty of the job itself. B. The requirement of working skills.
C. The increase of customers’ needs. D. The high payment from customers.
12. The following paragraph can best go after ________.
In the field of pet detection, every case is personal. It’not just about solving a mystery. it’s about realizing a family’s completeness, about bringing home a piece of someone’s heart. These pet detectives don’t carry guns, they carry the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and love in their hearts.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
13 Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from
A. Travel Guide B. Amazing things
C. World History D. Career development
四、信息还原。
Have you ever received extra support from a teacher or coach who believed you were born to be successful And did this person’s expectations (期待) and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应).
The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance (表现). 1 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so.
The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 2 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 3 .
This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 4 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment.
5 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us.
A．Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle.
B．This can lead to better performance and greater success.
C．To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed.
D．It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance.
E．It may be hard for these people to be influenced and change their bad behavior.
F．This effect was found by Robert Rosentha in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968.
G．By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students.
五、词汇运用。
1．I cannot (想象) what it’s like.
2．The place has lots of amazing things. It’s (值得) a visit.
3．It’s better for you to find a quiet place to study. You need (安静).
4．She was so (担心的) about his illness that she couldn’t sleep well.
5If you want to remember English words better, to learn the correct (发音) of them is very important.
6. Speak__________ (出声地) so that we can hear you clearly.
7. Do you believe the ___________(友谊) between the two countries will last forever

Have you ever received extra support from a teacher or coach who believed you were born to be successful And did this person’s expectations (期待) and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应).
The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance (表现). 1 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so.
The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 2 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 3 .
This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 4 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment.
5 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us.
A．Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle.
B．This can lead to better performance and greater success.
C．To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed.
D．It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance.
E．It may be hard for these people to be influenced and change their bad behavior.
F．This effect was found by Robert Rosentha in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968.
G．By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students.

First, you should talk with your teacher, and ask your teacher for help. Tell them too much homework makes you stay up late and feels sleepy in class. Second, you should communicate with your parents. You can play basketball on weekends after you finish your homework. In this way, they may allow you to do it. Third, you can make some new friends and talk with them freely, because it may be helpful to you. If you do these things, I believe you can solve these problems.
I hope you can be better soon.
Best wishes,

“Did you see that ” Joe said to his friend Bill.
“You’re a great shooter!”
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.
“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.”
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.
“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.”
“You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.
“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
“Practice without me” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.
Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.
“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”
6. What would be the best title for the story
A. Two Basketball Lovers B. Practice Makes Perfect
C. Bill Wins the Big Game D. Bill’s Basketball Problem
7 Why is Bill unhappy
A. His team loses too many important games.
B. Joe watches him too closely when he plays.
C. The school yard is not a good place to practice.
D. He plays better in practice than he does during games.
8. Why does Joe decide to gather a group of people
A. Because he wants to show them his talent.
B. Because he wants more players for his team.
C. Because he wants to help Bill feel less nervous.
D. Because he wants more people to see the next game.
9. Why does the group have to stay quiet
A. Because Bill likes to practice alone.
B. Because Joe is telling Bill what to do.
C. Because the group needs to listen to Joe’s instructions.
D. Because they do not want Bill to know they were there.

In China, pets are often considered as part of the family and are described as “fur children”. Unluckily, many pet owners in China experience the heartbreak of losing their beloved pets. The reasons for pets going missing can be different such as running away because of fear or anxiety, getting lost while on walks, or being stolen for illegal (非法的) pet trade. This has given rise to a new industry of “pet detectives” who specialize (专营) in finding and saving lost pets and reuniting them with their owners.
In recent years, the pet detective industry has appeared as a new job in China’s big cities. With the growing number of pet owners, there has been an increase in need for professionals who can help locate (确定位置) lost pets. Most pet detectives work alone or with just a few partners and can charge between 3,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per case depending on the difficulty of the search.
Pet detective Yan Zhiyong from Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province is one such professional who, after receiving an order, goes to the scene with one to two partners equipped with headlamps, torches (电筒), and other tools necessary for locating missing pets. The rise of this industry shows the importance that pets hold in Chinese households and how far owners are willing to go to ensure their beloved “fur children” are safe and healthy.
Pet detective work is not without its challenges. These professionals must be prepared to work long hours, often in difficult conditions, to search for lost pets. They may have to go through strange neighborhoods or areas, and deal with uncooperative or unfriendly people who are not interested in this case. Moreover, pet detectives must be skilled at understanding animals’ behavior and the practical ways in order to locate missing pets.
Although there’re many challenges, the need for pet detective services continues to grow in China as more and more pet owners seek help in finding their beloved “fur children”.
10. From passage 1, we can know that many pet owners in China feel sad because ________.
A. their “fur children” get lost
B it’s expensive to search for their lost pets
C. others tell them their pets might be stolen
D. their pets will run away from home one day
11. According to the passage, what can be the cause of the appearance of a new industry
A. The difficulty of the job itself. B. The requirement of working skills.
C. The increase of customers’ needs. D. The high payment from customers.
12. The following paragraph can best go after ________.
In the field of pet detection, every case is personal. It’not just about solving a mystery. it’s about realizing a family’s completeness, about bringing home a piece of someone’s heart. These pet detectives don’t carry guns, they carry the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and love in their hearts.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
13 Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from
A. Travel Guide B. Amazing things
C. World History D. Career development

“Did you see that ” Joe said to his friend Bill.
“You’re a great shooter!”
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.
“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.”
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.
“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.”
“You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.
“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
“Practice without me” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.
Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.
“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

In China, pets are often considered as part of the family and are described as “fur children”. Unluckily, many pet owners in China experience the heartbreak of losing their beloved pets. The reasons for pets going missing can be different such as running away because of fear or anxiety, getting lost while on walks, or being stolen for illegal (非法的) pet trade. This has given rise to a new industry of “pet detectives” who specialize (专营) in finding and saving lost pets and reuniting them with their owners.
In recent years, the pet detective industry has appeared as a new job in China’s big cities. With the growing number of pet owners, there has been an increase in need for professionals who can help locate (确定位置) lost pets. Most pet detectives work alone or with just a few partners and can charge between 3,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per case depending on the difficulty of the search.
Pet detective Yan Zhiyong from Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province is one such professional who, after receiving an order, goes to the scene with one to two partners equipped with headlamps, torches (电筒), and other tools necessary for locating missing pets. The rise of this industry shows the importance that pets hold in Chinese households and how far owners are willing to go to ensure their beloved “fur children” are safe and healthy.
Pet detective work is not without its challenges. These professionals must be prepared to work long hours, often in difficult conditions, to search for lost pets. They may have to go through strange neighborhoods or areas, and deal with uncooperative or unfriendly people who are not interested in this case. Moreover, pet detectives must be skilled at understanding animals’ behavior and the practical ways in order to locate missing pets.
Although there’re many challenges, the need for pet detective services continues to grow in China as more and more pet owners seek help in finding their beloved “fur children”.
10. From passage 1, we can know that many pet owners in China feel sad because ________.
A. their “fur children” get lost
B it’s expensive to search for their lost pets
C. others tell them their pets might be stolen
D. their pets will run away from home one day
11. According to the passage, what can be the cause of the appearance of a new industry
A. The difficulty of the job itself. B. The requirement of working skills.
C. The increase of customers’ needs. D. The high payment from customers.
12. The following paragraph can best go after ________.
In the field of pet detection, every case is personal. It’not just about solving a mystery. it’s about realizing a family’s completeness, about bringing home a piece of someone’s heart. These pet detectives don’t carry guns, they carry the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and love in their hearts.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
13 Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from
A. Travel Guide B. Amazing things
C. World History D. Career development

四、信息还原。
Have you ever received extra support from a teacher or coach who believed you were born to be successful And did this person’s expectations (期待) and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应).
The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance (表现). 1 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so.
The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 2 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 3 .
This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 4 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment.
5 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us.
A．Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle.
B．This can lead to better performance and greater success.
C．To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed.
D．It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance.
E．It may be hard for these people to be influenced and change their bad behavior.
F．This effect was found by Robert Rosentha in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968.
G．By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students.

Dear Samuel,
Thank you for telling me about your problems. I hope I can help you.
First, you should talk with your teacher, and ask your teacher for help. Tell them too much homework makes you stay up late and feels sleepy in class. Second, you should communicate with your parents. You can play basketball on weekends after you finish your homework. In this way, they may allow you to do it. Third, you can make some new friends and talk with them freely, because it may be helpful to you. If you do these things, I believe you can solve these problems.
I hope you can be better soon.
Best wishes,
Raymond
