The Day Everything Changed

I entered the class nervously, not knowing what to expect. Ms. Williams is known for being hard. As I took my seat, I noticed a girl sitting by the window. She had sandy blond hair pulled into a ponytail（马尾辫）and wore oversized glasses. I’d seen her before but didn’t know her name.
Throughout the class, she didn’t speak or look up from her notebook. At break, she went to the library 13 I wondered what made her so shy and quiet. Later that week, I was partnered with her for an assignment. Then I knew her name was Lucy. During the project, I realized Lucy was kind and smart. I smiled at her and tried to include her in the conversation. She gave a small 14 in return.
Over the next few months, Lucy and I became close friends. I invited her to sit with me at lunch and join after-school activities with us. Slowly, Lucy began to open up. She 15 about herself, and told me that she loved to read and watch old movies. I was relieved（宽慰的）to see the shy, hesitant expression leave her face.
One day Lucy told me a secret. She’d been bullied（欺凌）for a long time at her former school. The rude treatment had hurt her much, so that she became quiet, and had been fearful of 16 with people since. As she spoke, tears filled her eyes. I felt sad that such a lovely girl had been caused so much pain. I told Lucy she shouldn’t have been treated that way and I was 17 to have her as a friend.
A smile 18 across Lucy’s face, and she hugged me. At that moment, something changed slightly inside me. I realized Lucy’s friendship had given me a gift — the ability to see through the
19 of people into who they truly are. Her quiet kindness and sensitivity had changed me for the better.
From that day on, Lucy and I were inseparable（不可分的）. Her friendship taught me the importance of opening one’s heart and 20 out to others. The day I met Lucy, everything changed — for the better.

14．A．gift B．card C．smile D．kiss
15．A．knew B．learned C．talked D．heard

Fred had something important to tell his family. Everyone in his family was asked to sit at the dinner table and listen.
“I’m going to take part in the Olympics.” he said.
“Can a fourth-grader do that?” asked Anna, his younger sister.
“I’m not going now. I’ll go when I’m a little older. “Fred shook his head. “I’ve studied how the athletes(运动员) become the best. That is practice. If I practice hard enough, I can’t fail.”
“Sounds like a big challenge,” said Dad. “Which sport will you take up?”
“I haven’t made up my mind yet,” said Fred.
After a month’s practice, Fred got hurt again and again when he tried to find out which sport was for him. He tried different kinds of sport, such as running, jumping, badminton and so on. But at last he stopped practicing. “It’s too difficult. I don’t think I can find a sport right for me,” Fred talked to himself.
The following Sunday, the family sat down for dinner as usual.
“I’ve decided not to play a sport,”said Fred.
Everyone was surprised.
“You’re giving up on your Olympic dream?” said Anna.
“I didn’t say I was giving up,” said Fred. “I’m still going to the Olympics.”
Anna looked puzzled. “How can you go if you don’t do a sport?”
Fred held up a book titled Is Sports Medicine the Career for You? “Over the past few weeks, I’ve discovered that athletes need much medical help. So I am going to become a sports doctor. I’ll still go to the Olympics—but as a doctor, not an athlete.”

Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea?
Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind.
Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander (走神). Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.
Daydreams allow your mind to run freely and even increase productivity in some cases. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment and sudden insight about a situation. Daydreaming allows you to uncover thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had and get the thoughts hidden under the surface.
Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found an association (联系) between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.
Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again; complete a difficult task, complete an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过) a 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.
Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.
But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought” . Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle(不易察觉的) way.
When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not.
Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.
Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.
27．The “unusual-use task” included having participants  ________.
A．complete a very simple task B．achieve a very difficult task
C．have a break for 12 minutes D．find various uses for an object
28．Those who completed the easy task performed best because ________.
A．they worked harder on the easy task
B．they saved time for the following task
C．they chose to stay away from the difficult task
D．they came up with more ideas while daydreaming
29．The words “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”.
A．wander in a subtle way under your control
B．know clearly what you’re thinking and doing
C．think about a problem without even knowing it
D．stop processing information from the outside world
30．The passage mainly tells us that  ________.
A．daydreams are good for people’s well-being
B．daydreaming is a way to improve creativity
C．completing tasks is important to creative ideas
D．problem-solving skills are important in our lives
D

Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions (伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to disappear. Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”.
But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was:“I like to hold the product.”
Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when they’ve bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere.
If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. These accidents make the book—our book—even more personal. It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with them.
Of course, some could say that the devices(设备) on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isn’t quite the same. A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever.
Physical books are as valuable to some readers as photographs of family members.
This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.
However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. They aren’t simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing. But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.
31．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．physical books will be no longer made soon
B．lovers of physical books are mostly old people
C．sales of e-books and print books are both rising
D．physical books are making a comeback in the UK
32．What can we know about physical books?
A．Physical books are sure to get more and more popular.
B．People develop lasting friendships by reading physical books.
C．The readers keep more information in mind with physical books.
D．Young people prefer physical books with development of technology.
33．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A．To explain why physical books will not disappear soon.
B．To suggest that readers read more physical books than e-books.
C．To show that people have different kinds of reading preferences.
D．To discuss what makes e-books become the companions of readers.

Chinese traditional painting and dance are two important parts of the art world. But what about when they meet each other?
A dance drama called The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting was shown on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. It became popular overnight.
According to CCTV, this dance got the idea from the 900-year-old Chinese painting—A Panoruma of Rivers and Mountains （《千里江山图》）, which was created by Song Dynasty painte
