26、In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 【1】 Here is a list of ideas to help you. What are you waiting for? Go be amazing!

● 【2】

In this day and age where everything is sent via email, Facebook, WhatsApp and Snapchat, it’s a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive effect.

● Volunteer

【3】 Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is awesome. There are so many opportunities, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your time — it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.

● Make something for a special person

Whether you’re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you’re not creative, the receiver will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. 【4】

● Tell someone ‘I love you’

You can say it to anyone — your mum or dad, grandparents, family member, friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. 【5】 Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.

A．Send a handwritten letter

B．Use the chat software

C．However, you can make a difference.

D．And you don’t even have to say ‘I love you’.

E．Volunteering means giving up all your time.

F．Being willing to help others is one of the nicest things you can do.

G．Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!

27、School phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomachaches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.

【1】. Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.

【2】. He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioral problems in class. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.

Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor.【3】. As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse if it is left untreated, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.【4】. If bullying (child abuse) is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.

Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies.【5】. Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.

E. This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes.

F. The most effective treatment is to help the child have a sense of success.

G. And the assistance can help parents and school officials support the child.

28、   Someday, umbrellas may do more than just keep people dry. A researcher in the Netherlands has designed a simple sensor(传感器) that “listens”to rain. And that sensor can turn an umbrella into a rain-measuring expert.

Tools like this can let anyone gauge the weather. That can help scientists make sure that satellites and radar(雷达)systems that track storms are doing a good job.

“Rain radar is a beautiful way of seeing where rainfall is up in the air. But you never know where it hits the ground, "says Rolf Hut. He designed the umbrella sensor.

Researchers want to know how much rain makes it to the planets surface. Not all rain that falls from a cloud reaches the ground. And it can be difficult for radar and satellites to measure that rain, particularly in cities. A host of big buildings can change how air and rain move during a storm. “It also explains why a single, expensive sensor-the kind that might be found at an official weather station-won’t give accurate( 精确的 )city-wide data, Hut says. But by putting a low-cost rain measuring tool into people's hands, scientists can learn more about how much rainfall differs in these and other hard-to-measure places.

On the inside of the umbrella is a small, yellow disk (磁盘). It is the rainfall sensor. The sensor is attached to a black Bluetooth headset that sends the collected data to a smartphone.

Hut came up with the idea to stick the same type of sensor on an umbrella when he was talking to kids about science. He showed them a photo of a policeman who was holding an umbrella and talking to a crowd in a microphone. Why not put the two together? He thought it could make a cool rainfall sensor .

When a storm came through, Hut compared the umbrella’s new“ear”for rain to official rain measuring equipment. And to his delight, he found the umbrella's measurements were“pretty good. ” His next step is to improve the umbrella sensor to be more accurate

【1】The purpose of this passage is to_______

A. promote a unique umbrella B. inform us of a new invention

C. make readers interested in science D. praise a researcher for his Invention

【2】The underlined word“gauge”in Paragraph 2 most probably means______

A. change B. control

C. measure D. sense

【3】Why can it be hard for official weather stations to measure the rain in cities?

A. Big buildings influence the move of air and rain

B. They are lacking in weather measuring equipment

C. Rainfall differs hugely depending on various areas

D. Their collected data cannot be sent to smartphones

【4】What do we know about Huts new invention?

A. Hut is not satisfied with his new invention at all

B. Hut's invention is something useful but expensive.

C. He got the idea when talking to kids about science

D. A policeman in the rain helped Hut with the invention

29、   (CNN) — A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.

Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa’s Cattell III B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.

“I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right”, Lydia told CNN.

To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score —which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs —would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.

Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something based on Maths, because it’s one of her favorite subjects. “All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me,” she said.

【1】The reason why Lydia wanted to have an IQ test was that _______,

A. her parents strongly wanted her to do so.

B. she felt that she might have a high EQ.

C. all people around thought that she was smart.

D. the grammar school advised her to do so.

【2】Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined words in the second paragraph?

A. be connected with.

B. be accepted by.

C. be satisfied with.

D. be refused by.

【3】What is Lydia’s plan about the future ?

A. She has the possibility of doing something on Maths in the future.

B. She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.

C. She is quite sure about what to do in the future.

D. She will drop out of the grammar school.

【4】It can be implied from the passage that ______.

A. No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia.

B. Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.

C. Whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa.

D. Mary whose IQ score is 150 can enter Mensa.

30、Joy in the Journey

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure，please read on.For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing.Let me explain.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
