When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change
4. What was the author’s life like when he was 12
A. Boring B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Meaningful.
5. How did the volunteer work benefit the author
A. It made him popular in his town.
B. It helped him find the meaning of life.
C. It helped him understand others’ lives better.
D. It helped to shape his dream career.
6. Why did the author choose writing as his job
A. He was inspired by his teacher.
B. He could pass positive energy to readers.
C. He wanted to share his school experiences.
D. He found he had a talent for writing.
7. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph

C. Treat others with kindness in daily life
D. Learn to care more about others’ feelings.
C
There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English
8. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Wrote down. B. Cared about. C. Looked for. D. Settled down
9. According to the passage, in British English ________.
A. the word “pissed” means angry B. the word “jacket” is often used
C. the word “engaged” means tired D. the word “rubber” means eraser
10. What is the passage mainly about
A. The British way of using words.
B. Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her
C. The reasons why Americans can’t followed the British at times.
D. Some words used differently in British English and American English
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the differences between American English and British English
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Mutual.
D
The measure of a good night’s sleep is usually based on two things-the amount of time spent sleeping and the quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime.
A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day have an important effect on one’s health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease.
The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2,000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people with greater irregularity (无规律) in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health.
Of course, there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with late-night duty. But for those who don’t have mandatory (强制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee. Get off the phone. Try this calculator to figure out the best bedtime.
As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.” Surely that’s reasonable enough to go to bed on time.
12. What can we infer from the research
A. People feel more stressed when they grow older.
B. The old often have less sleep
C. Adults enjoy sleeping late
D. Regular bedtime does good to our health
13. Which of the following influences health most
A. Reduced light exposure. B. Sleep regularity.
C. Sleeping during the day. D. Sleeping later at night.
14. According to the author, those who don’t have to stay up late should ________.
A. avoid the late-night duty B. skip the late-night coffee
C. get off the phone while working D. try to sleep at the same time each night
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Importance of Sleep. B. Ways to Have a Good Sleep.
C. Regular Bedtime for Your Health D. The Suitable Time for Sleep.

Around the world, people are realizing the significant problems caused by plastic waste. In the last 65 years, we have become increasingly dependent on plastic. It’s easy to understand why: it’s cheap to produce. light-therefore easy and cheap to transport—and incredibly strong and durable. 16
One popular solution to the problem is to prohibit single-use plastics. In the British supermarkets, shoppers are encouraged to make more environmentally-friendly choices in packing and transporting their food. 17 Some governments have even promised to ban the use of single-use plastics altogether by the not-too-distant future.
However, such plans may not be beneficial to eliminate (消除) the use of single-use plastics altogether. 18 This is not just because of its low cost. It’s also because infection and cross-contamination (交叉感染) are minimized. Plastic packaging is also crucial in the food industry. It ensures that food is safe for consumers.
Another issue is that alternative materials to plastic are often more environmentally harmful than plastic. Take paper bags, for example. 19 The process requires cutting trees, the emission of greenhouse gases and the production of poisonous chemical waste. Even more pollution is created when paper bags break down.
Clearly there is a need to reduce plastic waste and its impact on the environment. 20 Industries that rely on single-use plastics for people’s health and safety must be considered. Moreover, alternative materials must be evaluated strictly regarding their own environmental impact.
A. But it’s these advantages that also make it so harmful.
B. They are very fragile and rarely reusable, unlike plastic.
C. One of the fields where single-use plastics have a vital role is medicine.
D. However, simply banning their single use may not be the best option.
E. It also boosts the local economy and saves costs in managing littering and waste.
F. Bans on single-use plastic items like drinking straws are also coming into place.
G. According to a research, they require four times more energy when produced than a plastic bag.

Therefore, having a slower heart rate makes you live a longer and healthier life. When 32 slows down the heart rate, it brings about a feeling of 33 . Therefore, it is used as a 34 technique. We can conclude by saying that the phrase “Music heals(治疗) the heart” is not just a saying, but a(n) 35 !
