Dear parents,
How are you I’m fine here. I’m writing to share some interesting things I met here with you.
Recently, there was a traditional festival named the Mid-Autumn Festival in China yesterday, so every street in the city was very busy. My friend invited me to her house and we ate delicious mooncakes. Also, her parents treated us to a big meal and we all enjoyed it. After dinner, we sat outside and admired the moon. It was so big and round. After a while, another friend brought us some lanterns and we were all very excited when seeing it flying into the sky.
This is my first time to celebrate a traditional festival in China. I think it’s very interesting and meaningful. I’m looking forward to the next ones.
Yours,
Anna

四、听短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。短文念两遍。
No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22nd, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also take part in this activity. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th — the World Environment Day. So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wei Zhonghua, a car club organizer. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first season of 2012, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same time the year before. Much of the dust comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. I think we all must do more for No Car Day.
五、听短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，并将答案填写在相应题号后。短文念三遍。
Students can learn their lessons in many ways. One popular way is going to school. There is another common way to learn. That is, students can teach themselves. This is much more important than any other way and can help you a lot. Teaching yourself is not a difficult thing and we can do this at any place and at any time.
How do you teach yourself The first thing you must do is read. Read something you’re interested in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don’t understand, or you want to know more about it. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard, by reading the textbooks or other books and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by yourself. If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study.2023 年 10 月课堂监测试题

B
卫星）sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company
Space X took 46 satellites into orbit. On Feb 27, China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites What do they do out there
②At present, there are more than 3,000 satellites moving around the Earth, according to Germany. Satellites are
very helpful to humans. They do all kinds of work, from transmitting (传送) TV signals to giving you directions on the road to helping scientists do research.
③For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System. Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips can be easier to find. Drones (无人机) can also use BeiDou to fly.
④Before satellites, TV signals didn’t go very far. Mountains or tall buildings would stop them. Phone calls to
faraway places were also a problem. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different places on Earth.
⑤Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in
weather. By monitoring ( 监测) wildfires and volcanoes, satellites help people deal with natural disasters. Farmers can use satellite pictures to decide the best time to water their fields.
⑥Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of Saturn’s rings (土星环). In 2020, Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.

Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 1 Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability.
2 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
3 Think about violinists in an orchestra ( 管 弦 乐 团 ). When the violinists play with the group, they hear
their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke ( 中 风 ) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4 Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, like the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves attention, memory, listening skills and our general language abilities. 5 Playing an
instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain active as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, but it’s also good for us in many other ways.
It can even help sick people get better.

Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved
Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat helps you have a better memory. Getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. Moreover, doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change—it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means classifying the information. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.
However, memory skills will hardly work if you don't understand the information. What's more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
An opinion We can improve our memory.
