Personal information is like the keys to your house. Giving these keys to the wrong people can be like allowing a stranger into your house without you even knowing. If someone has personal information about you, they could pretend (假装) to be you, find out where you live, or even use your personal information to buy things.
Your personal information may contain your:

• full name

• address

• phone number

• which school you go to

• date of birth

• email address

• usernames and passwords for online accounts or email accounts

• photos that show where you live or your school uniform

Tips to keep personal information safe

• Don’t lie about your age—you have to be at least 13 years old to use many social media apps (社交媒体应

用程序) This is because some of the content may not be safe for kids.

• Only friend or follow people you know—if you receive a friend request from someone you don’t know, it is best to say no to their request.
• Keep your email and phone number private (隐秘的)—your email address might have your name and you

don’t want to get unwanted texts, calls or emails.

• Don’t fill in all the fields on forms—if you sign up for something online, like a competition or quiz, only fill out the fields that are marked with an asterisk (this symbol *), which means that you must fill it in.

The team’s head Luo Lun, 59, said, “Although our team is from a small place, we are afraid of no one.” Tsinghua University High School has won the championships of CHBL more than 10 times.

C)
Most of the world’s progress is made by the few pioneers who break barriers (阻碍), reach new distances, and find a new path. They are the few brave enough to believe in the seemingly impossible and try their best to make it possible. Once they do this, they open the gates for others to follow.
A powerful example of this is Roger Bannister, who in 1954, broke the four-minute mile barrier with a record of 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds. Before Bannister succeeded, the thought was considered not only dangerous but impossible. But Bannister did not pay attention to it, he developed within himself a certainty that it was achievable, even though there was no evidence ( 证据) to suggest it. In fact, there was a lot of evidence to suggest it wasn’t achievable. But his belief to success allowed him to train for years to his end goal.
On 6 May, 1954, Bannister’s remarkable achievement created a new wisdom. Just 24 days later, the barrier was broken again and in the last 50 years, more than 1,000 other runners have achieved the feat (成就). It was not that these runners had improved physical (身体的) qualities from the runners who had tried and failed before them, but that they had improved psychological (心理的) qualities. They had proof (证明) of the possible.
Sometimes we do need to see it to believe it. But if we care about stories of problems and failures, it can be difficult to see beyond them. Those people who achieve extraordinary things do not accept the current standards, they break the barriers of “what is” and push beyond them to “what could be”. Through learning from those who break barriers, we too can make our own potentials come true - to be a powerful force for good.
38 What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A. Finding a new path. B. Being a pioneer

C. The world’s progress. D. The 4-minute mile barrier.

39 What do we know about Roger Bannister?

A. He wanted others to follow him. B. He received support from his family.

C. He made a great achievement in running. D. He collected evidence to support himself.

40. Why are “other runners” mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. To show the bravery of other runners. B. To show the importance of pioneers.

C. To show the power of following others. D. To show the importance of physical qualities.

41. What does the writer advise the readers to do in the last paragraph?

A. Forget the barriers. B. Learn from failures.

C. Achieve the potentials. D. Accept the current standards.

(D)
