You smiled at him like a mother would at her own child.You showed warmth and your hugs were always on offer.After a day in class with you, Charlie would come home singing. Whenever I hear Do Your Ears Hang Low or see him stretching to the sky when singing about the days of the week, I will think of you.I didn't tell you at the time, but I loved your morning song so much that I implemented it in my own class (I'm a teacher, too).

When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.In the short time I knew you; you taught me about the type of teacher I desire to be. You never seemed disturbed by the mountain of paperwork or impossible work-life balance that comes with the role. Instead, you appeared to embrace every minute.

I can't understand why you've been taken from us. Telling Charlie was one of the hardest things I've had to do.I'm not sure he fully understands, but he told me he loved you and has been asking whether your"robot powers"will work in heaven.

A friend once told me white feathers are angels telling us that loved ones in heaven are well. On the first day collecting the children without you，a white feather floated through the sleet (雨夹雪). Watching the younger ones bounce and gigle as they tried to catch it was beautiful.

I wish I had told you all of this when you were with us.I hope that you knew how you brought happiness to everyone you met and how loved you were. Goodbye, Dear Friend.

23、I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steam punk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.

I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”

China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.

There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.

Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting checks and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.

The list goes on…

When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”

While my friends think I’m riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a “Didi” for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.

With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.

【1】What’s the function of Paragraph 1?

A. To introduce a movie.   B. To tell an interesting story.

C. To introduce the topic.   D. To show the weather in Beijing.

【2】How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?

A. He couldn’t stand the weather.   B. He didn’t want to stay long.

C. He never wanted to go back home.   D. He was amazed at the bike sharing.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.

B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.

C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.

D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.

【4】What does the text intend to tell us?

A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.

B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.

C. Technology has brought much convenience in China.

D. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.

24、   Recently, the phrase "hair loss" has been trending among young people in China. A recent report on overall health showed that hair loss ranked fifth among top health concerns, following bad skin conditions, depression and anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive tract(消化道)discomfort and illness.

But hair loss isn't just a concern for Chinese youth. It is an inconvenient reality for many people in China and the world over. According to a survey, 250 million Chinese people are troubled by hair loss, most of them between 20 and 40 years old. In the United States, about one in five people is suffering from hair loss.

There isn't really any single reason for hair loss. Humans naturally lose about 50 to 100 hairs each day, which usually regrow later. However, genetic and environmental factors can mean, for some people, these lost hairs won't regrow. In addition, certain factors can further worsen hair loss, including too much stress from work school, too little sleep, and a bad diet.

Is there anything you can do to protect your remaining hair? There are many products out there ready to help you keep a full head of hair. Shampoos, lotions, surgery, even laser-helmets say they can help. Hair loss treatments represent a $3. 6 billion industry in the United States alone. While many of these products make bold promises about their capabilities to restore your hair, the reality is that fixing your hair loss will ultimately depend on finding the specific causes.

If it is due to stress, lack of sleep, or poor nutrition, then a lifestyle change might not only stop hair loss, but also restart the growth of hair. For most young people who want to protect their receding(后移的)hairlines, it starts with their personal health. All they need to do is change unhealthy living habits and pay more attention to their psychological well-being.

【1】What can we learn about "hair loss" from the passage?

A.It is common among most people in China.

B.It is the top health concern for Chinese youth.

C.Only Chinese youth are suffering from hair loss.

D.It bothers people of different ages and countries

【2】What stops the regrowth of the lost hairs for some people?

A.Genetic and environmental factors.

B.Stress from work and school.

C.Too little sleep.

D.A bad diet.

【3】What's the author's attitude towards many hair loss treatments?

A.Critical. B.Objective.

C.Optimistic. D.Supportive.

【4】What's the author's suggestion to young people with hair loss?

A.To use hair-growth products.

B.To change unhealthy lifestyle.

C.To have a health check in hospital

D.To pay attention to physical well-being

Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800. 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be ________ to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless.

When I was in middle school, I thought there were only two options—I could somehow be cool, or I could somehow be invisible. And I have to say,I was doing pretty well at option two. Until third period on the first day, when a teacher had us fill out a questionnaire with “get to know you” questions. I assumed hat she would be reading them privately, so I felt safe to share from the

perspective of a real me.

The teacher collected the sheets，shuffled(搅乱)them,and redistributed them to the class. We went one by one.We‘d read the student's name and then our three favorite answers.

My sheet end up in the hands of a kid who was one of the coolest and meanest.What is “favorite answer”of mine were the three worst ones to be read out loud .The first question was “What's your favorite movie?"The other kids wrote Scream and Universal Soldier. He read my answer,Beauty and the Beast. A laugh erupted from the room,and my cheeks burning because I knew we were just getting started.

The next question he read was"Where would you like to travel?” The others had said “Australia,”“Japan.”I wrote “Wherever a book takes me.” The laughter this time had an explosive quality to it. The kids were high-fiving.

The final question was “What do you like to do on the weekends?” The other kids wrote“Hang out with friends" and “go to the mall.”I wrote “perform with Clowns." Those who weren't laughing at me were sort of staring at me in disgust. I felt about an inch tall.
