As a kid, I remember being so interested in planes. Fortunately, my parents planned a holiday and my first ever plane ride in the Airbus A320 happened at the young age of ten.
Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit (驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do.
Then began the real journey, and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license (许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the funds and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008.
As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging — food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me.
In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time.
I continued training for 8 months — rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing. It’s my life and passion and it gives me great pleasure to put on my uniform, report for my flight, and make the sky my home.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience, a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
8. As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are ________.
A. a period of complete freedom.
B. too hard for young people to get through.
C an important time for the young to make the right choices.
D. an important period for young students to leave their parents.
9. What does the author suggest about your family?
A. They will choose your friends for you.
B. You should depend on them for everything.
C. They will make all important decisions for you.
D. You should try not to shut them out of your life.
10. What can we infer about the author’s view on friendship?
A. Friends should be chosen by family members.
B. Quantity of friends is more important than quality.
C. One should only maintain friendships from childhood.
D. True friends remain supportive through all circumstances.
11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Choices in Life. B. Becoming a Young Adult.
C. The Key to Success. D. Say Goodbye to the Past.
D
For many students, staying awake all night to study is common practice. According to Medical News Today, around 20 percent of students pull all-nighters at least once a month, and about 35 percent stay up past three in the morning once or more weekly.
That being said, staying up all night to study is one of the worst things students can do for their grades. In October of 2022, two MIT professors found a relationship between sleep and test scores: The less students slept during the semester, the worse their scores.
So, why is it that sleep is so important for test scores? In the last 20 years, scientists have found that sleep impacts more than just students’ ability to perform well; it improves their ability to learn, memorize, retain (保存), recall, and use their new knowledge to solve problems creatively, which contributes to better test scores.
When learning facts and information, most of what we learn is temporarily stored in a region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体). Some scientists believe that, like most storage centers, the hippocampus has limited storage capacity. This means, if the hippocampus is full, and we try to learn more information, we won’t be able to.
In one study, a group of 44 participants underwent two sessions of learning, once at noon and again at 6:00 PM. Half of the group was allowed to nap (小睡) between sessions, while the other half took part in standard activities. The researchers found that the group that napped between learning sessions learned just as easily at 6:00 PM as they did at noon. The group that didn’t nap, however, experienced a significant decrease in learning ability.
It’s no surprise that the MIT study previously mentioned revealed no improvement in scores for those who only guarantee good sleep the night before a big test. In fact, the MIT researchers concluded that if students want to see an improvement in their test scores, they have to guarantee good sleep during the entire learning process.
12. What did the two MIT professors find in 2022?
A. Most students were lacking in sleep.
B. Students were under too much pressure.
C. Good sleep improved students’ memory.
D. Insufficient sleep worsened students’ grades.
13. According to some scientists, what will happen if our hippocampus fills up?
A. We’ll forget things easily. B. We’ll fail to learn new things.
C. We’ll get ready to think creatively. D. We’ll activate other parts of our brain.
14. What may the MIT researchers advise students to do to improve their test scores?
A. Study late before a test. B. Sleep as much as you can.
C. Balance study with sleep. D. Focus on study during the daytime.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Staying up late to study just doesn’t pay off
B. Paying too much attention to scores isn’t a way out
C. Getting a good sleep improves performance at school
D. Keeping a good living habit brings unexpected benefits

Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit (驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do.
Then began the real journey, and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license (许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the funds and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008.
As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging — food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me.
In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time.
I continued training for 8 months — rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing. It’s my life and passion and it gives me great pleasure to put on my uniform, report for my flight, and make the sky my home.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience, a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility you will find more freedom to make your own choices.

For many students, staying awake all night to study is common practice. According to Medical News Today, around 20 percent of students pull all-nighters at least once a month, and about 35 percent stay up past three in the morning once or more weekly.
That being said, staying up all night to study is one of the worst things students can do for their grades. In October of 2022, two MIT professors found a relationship between sleep and test scores: The less students slept during the semester, the worse their scores.
So, why is it that sleep is so important for test scores? In the last 20 years, scientists have found that sleep impacts more than just students’ ability to perform well; it improves their ability to learn, memorize, retain (保存), recall, and use their new knowledge to solve problems creatively, which contributes to better test scores.
When learning facts and information, most of what we learn is temporarily stored in a region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体). Some scientists believe that, like most storage centers, the hippocampus has limited storage capacity. This means, if the hippocampus is full, and we try to learn more information, we won’t be able to.
In one study, a group of 44 participants underwent two sessions of learning, once at noon and again at 6:00 PM. Half of the group was allowed to nap (小睡) between sessions, while the other half took part in standard activities. The researchers found that the group that napped between learning sessions learned just as easily at 6:00 PM as they did at noon. The group that didn’t nap, however, experienced a significant decrease in learning ability.
It’s no surprise that the MIT study previously mentioned revealed no improvement in scores for those who only guarantee good sleep the night before a big test. In fact, the MIT researchers concluded that if students want to see an improvement in their test scores, they have to guarantee good sleep during the entire learning process.
12. What did the two MIT professors find in 2022?
A. Most students were lacking in sleep.
B. Students were under too much pressure.
C. Good sleep improved students’ memory.
D. Insufficient sleep worsened students’ grades.
13. According to some scientists, what will happen if our hippocampus fills up?
A. We’ll forget things easily. B. We’ll fail to learn new things.
C. We’ll get ready to think creatively. D. We’ll activate other parts of our brain.
14. What may the MIT researchers advise students to do to improve their test scores?
A. Study late before a test. B. Sleep as much as you can.
C. Balance study with sleep. D. Focus on study during the daytime.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Staying up late to study just doesn’t pay off
B. Paying too much attention to scores isn’t a way out
C. Getting a good sleep improves performance at school
D. Keeping a good living habit brings unexpected benefits
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A

Dear Mike,

【答案】Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with Internet addiction lately. Spending too much time on the computer can harm your health — your eyes may get tired easily, and you might lack physical exercise. It can also affect your studies and even make you feel lonely if you stop hanging out with friends.
Here are some tips for you. First, set a daily schedule for using the computer, like only 1 hour after finishing homework, and ask your family to remind you. Second, try new hobbies, such as playing basketball or learning to draw. These activities can take your mind off the Internet. Finally, keep a regular routine — go to bed early and get up on time, which helps you stay energetic and focused.
I believe you can get rid of this habit soon. Let me know how it goes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
