Online games are very popular among people. They make a large amount of money and have a large user base, including lots of teenagers. But now, new rules on online games have been introduced, which are aimed at fighting against addiction (成瘾) among underage players.
Adult players need to spend most of their time paying attention to work and family, and cannot play games as often as they want. However, underage players have more spare time, but less responsibility and self-control. Children without a clear purpose in life, where there is less family education and school management, might easily become addicted to all kinds of online games and online novels.
The most direct impact of an addiction to online games among underage players is on their psychological (心理) health. According to psychologists, people seriously addicted to games can become anxious, bad tempered, and avoid responsibility.
However, Chinese parents are more worried that their children will lack interest in studying if they become addicted to online games, as academic success is important for students. Additionally, when their children become addicted to such games, most parents do not know how to deal with the situation.
To carry out the new rules to the best effect, more specific issues need to be solved, such as managing foreign online games, ensuring that facial recognition technologies used by games companies have the wanted effect or making sure online game providers can only offer one-hour services to underage players on Saturdays and Sundays. While there are always loopholes (漏洞) in new rules, authorities should act quickly to close them.
There is no doubt that online games have harmful effects on young people. It is not acceptable for a large number of teenagers or those even younger, to become addicted to these games.
4. What’s the purpose of the new rules on online games
A. To raise awareness of Internet safety.
B To bring in new computer programs.
C. To reduce the grown-up user base.
D. To prevent the teenagers’ addiction.
5. Why are underage players addicted to online games more easily
A. They can learn more knowledge on the Internet.
B. They have more free time and less self-control.
C. They have purposes in life but lack higher education.
D. They maintain a sense of curiosity about the Internet.
6. What problem has to be solved to ensure the effect of the new rules
A. How to reduce parents’ anxiety about kids’ study.
B. How to find loopholes in the popular online games.
C. How to control the service time of online game providers.
D. How to invent a facial recognition game for young players.
7. What is the author’s attitude to the new rules
A. Confused. B. Negative.
C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
C
Gu Ailing, the United States-born Olympic skiing gold medalist, who is also known as Eileen Gu, said that she competed for China to inspire the nation’s young girls to get interested in the sport.
The freestyle skier won three medals at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games in February. She shared her thoughts on Tuesday at an event in New York, where she was among those honored as being among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2022, and she discussed her motivation and the possible roles she may play after the Olympics.
Asked whether she had second thoughts about her decision to represent China in the Olympics, considering the current tension between the US and China, Gu said not at all.
“No, I don’t have any regrets,” she said, because every day on her social media she receives messages from hundreds of young girls worldwide who call her their inspiration. “Sports are a shared experience transcending gender, age, race, background and culture,” Gu said, adding that they can bring about cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another, generating a cycle of positivity.
Gu also announced that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games bid in Salt Lake City in 2030. Gu said, “This is a beautiful example of globalism and the capacity that we can use skiing, we can use sports, we can use the winter sports to connect people.”
8. What do we know about Gu Ailing
A. She was a China-born Olympic skiing gold medalist
B. She won four medals at the Beijing 2022 winter games
C. She didn’t regret having represented China in the Olympics
D. She was honored as one of the 100 most influential people of 2022 by Thames

A. To win gold medals in the Winter Olympics
B. To motivate China’s young girls to love skiing
C. To promote cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another
D. To announce that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games
10. What do sports mean to Gu

C. They make athletes famous D. They create a positive cycle
11. What is the text
A. A book review B. Health magazine

If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. What does the underlined part “grey matter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to
A. Information. B. Difficult situations.
C. Material of the brain. D. Grey hair.
13. The experience of learning a second language can ________ .
A. increase the ability to learn. B. weaken one’s maths skills.
C. make one smarter than others. D. change one’s brain completely.
14. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. it is easy for people to learn a second language.
B. age has no effect on learning a second language.
C. the research on the Italians showed a different result.
D. having a second language can open your eyes.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Our brain is the place where all the information is processed.
B. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.
C. Every one is advised to learn a second language at an early age.
D. It is really difficult to master English as a second language.

Gu Ailing, the United States-born Olympic skiing gold medalist, who is also known as Eileen Gu, said that she competed for China to inspire the nation’s young girls to get interested in the sport.
The freestyle skier won three medals at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games in February. She shared her thoughts on Tuesday at an event in New York, where she was among those honored as being among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2022, and she discussed her motivation and the possible roles she may play after the Olympics.
Asked whether she had second thoughts about her decision to represent China in the Olympics, considering the current tension between the US and China, Gu said not at all.
“No, I don’t have any regrets,” she said, because every day on her social media she receives messages from hundreds of young girls worldwide who call her their inspiration. “Sports are a shared experience transcending gender, age, race, background and culture,” Gu said, adding that they can bring about cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another, generating a cycle of positivity.
Gu also announced that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games bid in Salt Lake City in 2030. Gu said, “This is a beautiful example of globalism and the capacity that we can use skiing, we can use sports, we can use the winter sports to connect people.”

If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. What does the underlined part “grey matter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to
A. Information. B. Difficult situations.
C. Material of the brain. D. Grey hair.
13. The experience of learning a second language can ________ .
A. increase the ability to learn. B. weaken one’s maths skills.
C. make one smarter than others. D. change one’s brain completely.
14. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. it is easy for people to learn a second language.
B. age has no effect on learning a second language.
C. the research on the Italians showed a different result.
D. having a second language can open your eyes.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Our brain is the place where all the information is processed.
B. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.
C. Every one is advised to learn a second language at an early age.
D. It is really difficult to master English as a second language.

【答案】Dear Jack,
I understand how challenging it can be to adjust to the increased pressures of high school life. It's normal to feel overwhelmed at times, but remember that you're not alone. Many students experience similar struggles when transitioning into a new academic environment.
To help manage your stress and improve your sleep, I recommend incorporating some relaxation techniques into your daily routine. Deep breathing exercises or meditation before bed can work wonders for calming the mind. Additionally, establishing a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can greatly benefit your overall well-being.
Don't hesitate to reach out to teachers, friends, or family members if you need someone to talk to. You've got this!
Best regards,
Li Hua
