Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure (失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser (失败者).

Failure is the mother of success. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the good side of it. Edison failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work.

Losing is not very scary. So don’t be afraid. We must accept our failure and learn something from it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve.

We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.

Summer 2022 was a hard time for many. Huge heat waves (热浪) swept across European countries and parts of China. They brought extreme (极端) high temperatures and drought (干旱).

Europe has experienced its hottest summer since 1979. In Spain, temperatures quickly increased past 40℃ and it was one of the hottest summers on record. In Italy and Greece, temperatures hit 38℃ or more. Europe also experienced its most serious drought in 500 years. The dry conditions led to wildfires. The lack of rainfall caused water shortages (缺乏). As a result, water uses became a big problem. Back in China, similar things happened in the summer. Heat waves hit many places across the country. Chongqing’s highest temperature reached 45℃, breaking its historical record. In August, more than 20 forest fires happened in the area.

Heat waves are more harmful than you might expect. If people stay in high temperatures for too long, the heat will harm their bodies and make people feel sick, pass out or even die. During the 2003 heat wave in Europe, about 70,000 people died. Besides this, heat waves make some infectious diseases (传染病) even more serious.

What caused the extreme weather event? Scientists said climate change was likely to be the reason. Countries and organizations are taking action to deal with it. The European Union has set its goal to achieve net-zero emissions (净零排放) by 2050. China also has the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions (碳排放达到峰值) before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和) before 2060. Many countries have carried out policies (), like supporting green energy and making

Do you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want, or you’re not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, focusing(专注) on your own progress is important for your happiness.

“We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says Dr. Jack. “But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you’ve achieved and excited about what you might do. Focusing on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.”

Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it’s important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It’s also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel. “If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths.” says Jack. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like “What can I do well in?”, which can help you trust yourself.

Maybe here you are wondering “What if all my friends are better than me?”. Dr. White says that jealousy(妒忌) is not bad but focusing on bettering your own work can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions that learning to celebrate your friends’ success can not only help to

B．To change your purposes. D．To be proud of your achievements.

16．What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．what you’re good at C．what you’re crazy about 17．What does Dr. White suggest? A．Trusting your friends. C．Celebrating others’ success.

B．Cheering on tiny success. D．Forming a deep friendship. B．what you’ve understood D．what you’ve experienced

Some rich and beautiful ladies were sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying their picnic. When they were washing their hands and feet in the clean water, they saw their reflections(倒影).

Seeing their reflection in the water, they started to praise their own beauty. One of them said, “How beautiful my hands are!”

Another woman said her hands were even more beautiful. A third one said the same thing. Soon, an argument(争吵) broke out among them.

They saw an old woman passing by. She was walking with the help of a stick and her clothes were dirty.

Seeing her, one lady suggested asking the old woman about whose hands were the most beautiful. They all agreed. When the old woman came near, they showed her their hands and asked, “Who has the most beautiful hands?”

Do you think only humans are crazy about electronic products? You are wrong. 12 zoos in the United States and Canada have carried out (实施) a programme called Apps for Apes (大猩猩). It has found that the apes are also interested in playing iPads.

“We find that, similar to people, the apes like touching the screen and watching short videos,” said Richard Zimmerman, a manager of the programme.

The apes in these zoos can play iPads twice a week. Every time, they spend from 15 minutes to half an hour using different apps in iPads. They are most interested in apps for children, such as drawing, music and memory games.

Zimmerman said, “It’s like when we’re showing pop-up books (立体书) to children. The apes

The workers in the zoo are also studying how communication apps can help the apes better. “We find that an ape has a toothache. He would be able to touch a picture of a tooth on the iPad and communicate in that way,” said Zimmerman.

The programme wants to make people pay attention to the living problems of apes in the wild. The apes are in danger because people cut down too many forests. 23．How many times can the apes play iPads in a week? A．Two times.

Most of us are used to using jet hand dryers (喷射式干手器) in public restrooms. They’re surely very convenient—all we need to do is to hold up our hands for a few seconds until they’re dry. And more importantly, they’re supposed to be hygienic (卫生的).

However, a new study published in the journal Hospital Infection found that jet hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria (细菌) than paper towels.

In the study, two restrooms in each of three different hospitals in the UK, France and Italy were required to provide both jet air dryers and paper towels for people to use. But on certain days, only either the hand dryer or the paper towel dispenser (自动出纸机) was available to use.

The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount of bacteria in the

B．A magazine about animals. C．A

restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days.

According to study leader Mark Wilcox, an expert in medical microbiology (微生物学) at Leeds University, UK, air dryers spread harmful bacteria all over the room. This means that if people use these dryers, they’re more likely to pick up bacteria.

At the same time, however, this raises the question of why these bacteria exist in the first place if people are washing their hands after using the restroom.

“The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly,” Wilcox told The Telegraph. In other words, poor hand-washing leads to a large amount of bacteria being left on your hands.

28．What did the new study find according to the passage? A．Using jet hand dryers was very convenient. B．Jet hand dryers were supposed to be hygienic.

C．Jet hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria than paper towels.

D．Hospitals were required to provide both jet air dryers and paper towels for people to use. 29．How can we stop bacteria according to the last paragraph? A．By using paper towels. C．By not using public restrooms. 30．What can we learn from the passage? A．Washing hands can protect you from danger. B．Modern technology may cause more problems. C．It’s common to pick up bacteria in public places. D．Scientists will find a way to improve hand dryers.

The careful use of lecture videos could help people study more efficiently（高效地）, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles （UCLA）.

According to a new study, watching lecture videos at twice the normal speed has almost no bad effect on learning. Even better, watching lecture videos at an increased speed more than once may even lead to improved learning and higher test scores compared to watching once at normal speed.

The study, done by UCLA’s Department of Psychology, put students into groups and asked

B．By only using jet hand dryers. D．By washing our hands properly.

them to watch lecture videos at different speeds without taking notes. The students then took tests based on the video content.

The test results showed little difference in scores between students who watched the videos at normal speed and those who watched at up to double speed—meaning students could halve（减半）their study time with little effect on learning.

But students shouldn’t speed up too much—because students who watched the videos at two-and-a-half times the normal speed had lower test results.

It was also found that watching the videos twice at double speed—both one week before the test and again immediately before it—produced higher test scores compared to students who watched the videos just once at normal speed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have used some types of remote（远程的）learning, including video lessons. And while students and teachers have worried about the effects of remote learning, the UCLA study suggests that, if used the right way, video lectures could actually help make studying more efficient.

31．What may happen if we watch lecture videos at an increased speed more than once? A．It may improve learning. B．It may improve reading skills. C．It may lead to the best test result.

32．What were the students asked to do before taking tests? A．Discuss the video content. B．Watch videos at different speeds. C．Take notes while watching videos. 33．What can we learn about remote learning? A．It helps develop learning habits. B．It increases the speed of teaching. C．It makes learning better if rightly used. 34．What’s the best title for the text?

A．Watching Videos Is a Good Way of Learning B．Watching Videos Helps Get High Test Scores

C．Watching Videos at Double Speed Could Help Learning

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, doctors and teachers may be your answers. It’s easy to imagine smart cleaners and robot factory workers, but some jobs really need human thinking and creativity. Nowadays, robots already do a better job than doctors in hospitals in some （创造力）way. Could there be a place for robots in education?

British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He believes in 2027 robots will do the main job of passing information and teachers will just help. They can even read students’ faces, movements and brain activities. However, it’s not a popular idea and it’s impossible that robots will really connect with humans like another human can.

But one thing is certain. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get tired or move somewhere for a better job. Perhaps the question is not “Can robots do everything instead of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” If robots could help to save the time teachers spend on students’ homework and reports, teachers would have more time and energy（精力）for the parts of the job humans do best. 40．Anthony believes in 2027________. A．robots can do a better job than doctors B．robots will do the same job as human teachers C．robots can understand students from their faces D．robots will move for better jobs like human teachers

41．Why could robots partly solve the problem in Paragraph 3? ________ A．They can teach anywhere.

B．They can’t get tired easily.

C．In a tour guide book. D．In a novel.

C．They can’t waste time on homework. D．They can do everything instead of humans. 42．What does the writer think of robots in education? ________ A．Thankful.

B．Smart. C．Popular.

D．Helpful.

43．What is the best title for the passage? ________

A．Robot Doctors. B．Robot Teachers. C．Abilities of Robots. D．Jobs of Robots.

A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room (手术室). In the room a patient with cancer(癌症), lies on a table. The cloud is all around the patient, covering her body and filling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke. It is made of millions of nano-robots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell (细胞) to cell in the patient’s body, killing the cancer.

Fighting cancer with nano-robots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nano-robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today’s problems.

However, nano-robots could be a dangerous risk as well. Because nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nano-robots will have to be programmed(被编程) to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano-robots one by one.

This ability to re-produce is making some scientists worried. What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nano-robots would be far worse than any illness. Some people think that if they get out of control, nano-robots could make the Earth gone.

What should be done? Should we continue researching nano-robots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future. 44．What is the cloud in the passage? A．Smoke in the air.

C．Something full of drops of water.

B．Millions of nano-robots. D．Clothes to cover a patient.

45．What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to(指代)? A．Fighting cancer with nano-robots. B．Moving from cell to cell. C．Killing the cancer. D．Repairing the environment.

46．Which of the following is NOT the reason why some scientists are worried a about using nano-robots?

A．Nano-robots have the ability to build themselves. B．Something may go wrong in the programming.

C．Scientists have to build millions of nano-robots one by one. D．Nano-robots in large teams may be out of control.

47．What does the writer think of using nano-robots in the future? A．He agrees to the idea.

B．He disagrees to the idea.

C．He doesn’t talk about his own opinion. D．He is crazy about it. 48．What is the best title? A．Future Robots C．Nano-robots in Use

We’ve all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores or hotels. Maybe you’ve been to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you’ve been to a store that had high prices and bad service. Or maybe you’ve booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement（广告）.

An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.

This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you just stay in one place?”

The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist (抵抗) them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still? ”

— my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food.”

After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still.”

What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.

In America, many schools start before 7:30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been

B．Focus on More Than One Thing D．Take Control of Your Mind

passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 a.m. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.

Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 a.m. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class. _________ The change can help improve students’ grades.

While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won’t be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.

It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what’s your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law? 58．The schools shouldn’t start ________ according to the new law in California. A．before 7:30 a.m. B．after 7:30 a.m. C．after 8:00 a.m. D．before 8:00 a.m. 59．Why don’t most of the teenagers get enough sleep? A．Because their parents need them to do housework. B．Because their sleeping habits are bad and schools start early. C．Because they play computer games till late. D．Because they have too much homework.

60．Which sentence do you think can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3? A．They can put on weight. C．They will join more clubs.

B．They will like their teachers.

D．They will pay more attention to classes.

61．What can we know from the passage?

A．The government of New York has passed a new law. B．All the parents disagree with the law.

C．Later school starting time may lead to fewer after-school activities. D．Teenagers are more active in the morning.
