A subject that gives students a better understanding of themselves.
According to some surveys(调查), many middle school students don’t have a dream. A person without a dream is like a ship sailing without compass(指南针).
Teaching students to understand themselves better can help them discover their strenghs and weaknesses. Then, they will have more confidence and a clearer direction in life.

I would suggest adding sign language(手语). Not many people know how to communicate with those who have hearing problems. It would be very helpful if we could start to learn sign language when we are young. This would teach us to treat those who are less fortunate(幸运的) with respect(尊重).

I’d suggest adding a time-management class. Nowadays, many students are addicted to(上瘾) their phones. Some of them sleep late because they can’t balance their studies with gaming. A time-management class will help students learn “first things first”. This will help make sure that they lead a healthy life.

Passage 3
In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns（喇叭）or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
“Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor（市长）, opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.
Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so.”
At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of（清除）cars.
The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now rare（罕见的）. CO2 emissions（排放物）are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.
Most local people like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added.
29. From Paragraph 1, we know Pontevedra is a(n) ________ city in Spain.
A. ancient B. quiet C. busy D. crowded
30. For Lores, what was the city Pontevedra’s main problem?
A. The historical city was dead. B. There were lots of traffic accidents.
C. Many people were leaving the city. D. There were too many cars in the city.
31. The underlined word “benefits” probably means “________” in English.
A. choices B. advantages C. problems D. symbols
32. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To show how people like the change. B. To let more cities follow the change.
C. To explain what people think of the city. D. To tell why people like living in Pontevedra.
33. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A city without cars. B. The path to a city’s progress.
C. A good plan for a city. D. The changes of Pontevedra.

Passage 4
The right way to breathe（呼吸）during exercise

Exercising is great for your health-everyone knows this. However simply exercising isn’t enough. It needs to be done properly.
While exercising, making sure your breathing is correct is very important. Naturally, we breathe through our nose. ____34____ Not really.
Breathing through your nose has its advantages. Your nose hair acts like an air filter（过滤器）. Breathing through your nose also warms and moistens（使……湿润）the air. However, when you exercise, you should always make sure that you are taking in enough oxygen（氧气）. You can breathe through your nose while doing lighter exercise like yoga. During more heavy exercise, such as running, it is better to breathe through your mouth.
____35____
However, most people usually take quicker breaths while doing any heavy exercise. ____36____ Quicker breathing is not a proper way of breathing. This can cause dizziness（头晕）and other health problems.
In fact, while doing exercise like running, one should breathe in a 3:2 ratio（比率）. This means that for the first three steps, the person should be inhaling（吸气）deeply. For the next two steps, the person should be exhaling（呼气）fully. In this way you can take in the largest amount of oxygen.
____37____ While we often breathe through our nose, breathing through our mouth is a good choice as well. Sometimes people use both their nose and mouth to breathe. While doing any exercise, your breaths should be deep, rather than quick. This will help you to burn more fat and keep you fitter.
A. Let’s go over the basic points one more time.
B. Generally speaking simply exercising isn’t enough.
C. This is one of the most common mistakes that people make while exercising.
D. However, do you know the right way to breathe during exercise?
E. By doing so, you can take in a higher amount of air and thus oxygen.
F. But when you exercise, is breathing through the nose always the best choice?
