After drawing blood and running a CT scan, the doctor had questions for me. "What is a typical day like for you " "I am a graduate student with a tight schedule that usually keeps me at work late into the night," I replied. Next, he turned to diet. I paused when this question came, embarrassed by my answer. "I only have coffee for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I usually grab something from a fast-food vendor on campus." The doctor seemed shocked. As more questions followed about my stress levels and lifestyle, my unhealthy state began to sink in.
In graduate school, I was fully focused on my project and doing what I could to become a successful scientist. I didn't feel I had the time or energy to shop for groceries and cook, I stopped exercising and didn't spend as much time socializing. When I was sluggish, instead of giving my mind and body a rest, I drank energy boosters to maintain my strength and continued to work long hours. As I progressed through my Ph.D. Program, I gained an unhealthy amount of weight. I got tired easily and I often caught colds or the flu. Eventually, the abdominal pains were so bad that they drove me to the emergency room.
After hearing the doctor's warning, I knew I had no choice. I stopped working late into the night, which gave me more time to relax, sleep, and prepare my own meals. I read up on dietary recommendations and began to choose nutritious and healthy foods. I also gave up energy drinks and switched to tea. Many times, I was tempted to go back to my old routine. I placed sticky notes in my office and at home to remind myself that if I didn't make healthy choices, I'd suffer consequences.
It's been 4 years now and, to my surprise, I have not only noticed gains in my health, but also found it easier to be productive at work.

C. He ignored the doctor's advice. D. He had a very unhealthy lifestyle.

A common theme running in fiction and mythology is the idea of orphan（孤儿）heroes and superheroes. Fairytales introduce us to children of absent fathers and cruel caretakers, like Cinderella and Snow White. Fiction makes much of the parentage of David Copperfield and Jane ic books offer orphaned heroes like Batman, Spiderman, or you'll notice characters in more modem fiction from films and books like Harry Potter and Leia Skywalker.
Why are so many heroes and superheroes orphans
Lacking parents, orphan heroes and superheroes are considered "children of the world". Having raised themselves, and having been freed from much of the complex relationship of child to parent, ophan heroes and superheroes are at much greater liberty to interact with the world, and they may look at the world as parent and all its inhabitants as family.
Some orphans seek only a home and a family. David Copperfield finds this with his aunt. Cinderella and Snow White escape evil stepmothers by marrying. Others, especially of the superhero "cast" are never really given family in the traditional sense. In fact, though they may have strong bonds with friends, or with caretakers, they are constantly attempting to prove worthiness to the world, and are desperate to save the people they do care about.
You can also evaluate orphan heroes and superheroes as a means by which anxiety, loneliness, and independence are emphasized. The comic book type superhero is usually one who suffers always, or at least most of the time. Loss of even one parent can be intensely upsetting and forever change a child's life, and superheroes may do all in their power to prevent this fate for other children. Empathy for suffering and a desire to end or prevent it for others are increased.
It's a good idea to consider why we see this theme expressed so commonly. Perhaps we view these orphans or poorly parented children as ultimately our own. They may not just be children of the world, but may belong to each reader.
28. Why does the author mention some famous characters in Paragraph 1
A. To clarify the writing purpose. B. To advertise classic fiction.
C. To support a statement. D. To make an overall outline.
29. Which of the following drives some orphans to become superheroes
A. Intention to escape a family. B. Desire to prove their value to the world.
C. Strong bonds with their family. D. Wishes for freedom to explore the world.
30. Which word best describes the comic book type superhero
A. Childish. B. Dependent. C. Cheerful. D. Sympathetic.
31. What may make the theme of orphan superheroes so common
A. Ophans' ultimte fate is pitiful.
B. Readers have a preference for tragedies.
C. Orphan characters are reflections of the readers.
D. Readers may regard orphan characters as their own kids.
D
Scientists recently conducted a study that involved giving pet parrots（鹦鹉）a tablet. They could use the tablets to make video calls to other parrots. It turned out that the birds showed signs of feeling less isolated（孤独的）. They also began to engage in more social behaviors, including cleaning their feathers, as well as singing and playing.
Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, a co-author of the study, works at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. She said that video calls had helped many people feel less isolated. "There are 20 million parrots living in people's homes in the U.S., and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit from video calling, too," Hirskyj-Douglas said. "If we gave them the opportunity to call other parrots, would they choose to do so, and would the experience benefit the parrots "
In order for the parrots to use their tablets, the birds first had to learn to ring a bell. They could then touch a photo of another bird on the screen to call that bird. The birds were also given a choice of which "friend" to call. In total the birds made 147 deliberate calls to each other during the study. Scientists took detailed notes on the birds' behavior and later reviewed the video footage（片段）.
Their analysis suggested that there were, indeed, benefits for the birds. In the wild, many parrots live in large groups. As pets, they tend to be kept alone or in a small group. Isolation and boredom can cause birds to develop psychological problems. These are problems related to the mind and behavior. These problems can look like rocking, pacing back and forth', or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking.
Rébecca Kleinberger, who works at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, also helped with the study. She said video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a larger group.
32. Why did scientists conduct the research
A. To see if parrots can use tablets. B. To see if video calls benefit parrots.
C. To evaluate the mental health of parrots. D. To study the living conditions of parrots.
33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Its process. B. Its findings. C. Its application. D. Its influences.
34. What does video calling mean to the parrots
A. It helps with their reproduction. B. It contributes to their misbehavior.
C. It improves their physical health. D. It widens their social circle.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Parrots living in the wild tend to be socially active.
B. Parrots living alone may develop mental problems.
C. Parrots taught to make video calls become less lonely.
D. Parrots learn to behave properly by calling each other.

How to deal with frustration
From time to time terrible things occur. When something awful happens in our life, we always feel sorry for ourselves and it is natural to fall into a negative feeling of frustration.
36 In this post, we will share some approaches that will help relieve your frustration in a positive manner where you can subsequently learn and grow.
When you feel frustrated by life it can be hard to feel thankful for the blessings in your life. 37 Numerous studies in positive psychology show that having an attitude of gratitude is the number one indicator of life satisfaction and happiness.
38 Every day you can try to list three good things in your life you are grateful for. By doing so you will be surprised how much this decreases your feelings of frustration.
Another lesson of positive psychology is that your own problems are often relieved when you make an effort to help others. When you're volunteering your time, doing random acts of kindness, or simply trying to make a positive difference in the lives of others, your brain will produce more dopamine（多巴胺）, which gives you a sense of pleasure. 39
Finally, I am sure you have heard the old saying, " 40 " This old saying has lasted for so long because it is true. You may envy what other people seem to have, but you do not know what they are going through. So, if you want to stop feeling sorry for yourself, you need to only compare yourself to yourself. Stop envying what you believe other people have and learn to be happy with the things you do have in life.
A. Don't judge a book by its cover.
B. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
C. But that is when you need to feel grateful the most.
D. You should set aside some "me time" to rest and restore.
E. It hurts us and keeps us from making the proper decisions.
F. You can actually relieve your own frustration by doing others a favor.
G. The most practical way to feel grateful is to start a gratitude journal.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Different sports filled my days in my youth. I dreamed of a big win some day, with a big trophy（奖杯）.1 was skillful and fast, or so I thought. However, I soon learned my skills seemed quite weak because the bigger, stronger boys seemed to occupy every corner of the playground. Once I was in the 100-yard hurdles, the only recognition I received for my performance was two bloody knees.
In college, I took a swim competition, dreaming of the glory! It turned out I achieved nothing. As an older adult, I still maintained an active lifestyle. In 2010 I signed up for a stair-climbing challenge to raise money for fighting against lung cancer. My father had died of the same disease, so this was a meaningful cause for me. Then, in 2019, the organization offered an even more challenging climb option: the vertical（垂直的）mile. So I would have three hours to climb up and down twenty-eight floors fifteen times, plus three more.
I trained hard. When the challenge started. I felt confident. But soon my legs started feeling heavy. What was worse, I began experiencing leg cramps（抽筋）. My progress slowed dramatically and I quickly fell behind. When came down after finishing lap 14, it was past the time limit, so my big win had escaped once again.
Soon after the climb, I struggled to experience the sense of self-satisfaction. And I had, after all, set a goal for myself to prove what I was made of, what I had inside me. And what I had inside me was, "Nice try, but you didn't make it." So, a year later, at age 62 and after numerous workouts, I was back. Like last year, I was well ahead after an hour and I again started feeling some discomfort in my legs. I heard myself cry out loud, "Oh, no, not again!" I finally stopped and sat down on the stairs, feeling quite depressed and wondering if my dream was over. A few climbers stopped to offer help. I was touched, but embarrassed to accept. Except for one climber. An angel climber, really.
Jessica, who I happened to know, was a salesman's friend when I bought new running shoes at his store. And without that connection, she might have climbed past me as I sat on those steps, my legs shaking. But all those things did happen, and Jessica stopped to help.
注意:

（Text 2）
W: Good morning, everyone. If you all can see my slide show, I'll begin my speech.
M: Excuse me. Your screen is so dark. Did your laptop die

（Text 3）
W: Tim, this is a new jacket! How could you be so careless

W: It was already torn a bit anyway. But I just got it for Christmas.
（Text 4）
M: How are you finding teaching your students online I miss being in a classroom.
W: I quite like it. I find I can keep an eye on all the students through video call and I don't need to spend two hours a day in my car driving to the school.（4）
（Text 5）
M: Let's meet at the café after work around 5:50 p. m.
W: I can't hear you—your phone is cutting out. Are you going to work
M: No. I'm leaving work in 20 minutes—we'll meet at the café before 6:00 p. m.
W: OK. See you at the café after 6:20 p. m.（5）
（Text 6）
M: Victoria, you're 18 years old now. Swimming races during your last year of high school are critical.（6）
W: I just can't entirely focus on our swim team and on succeeding in school.
M: The previous three years of high school were easier. But this year, universities will start observing you for their teams.
W: Even if I get a swimming scholarship, what if it's not for a good school
M: You've been competing since you were eight years old, and you've got a huge opportunity.（6）
W: I don't know if a swimming racing career will satisfy my parents' expectations, especially if it means attending an average-quality school.（7）
（Text 7）（第 8 题为推断题）
W: Mr. Holden, you've come to my office a lot recently. Is it the same issue again
M: I'm afraid so. My chest hurts all day, and my heart keeps pounding.
W: Have you cut back on drinking alcohol and eating fried foods
M: I haven't gotten around to it. I've got too much work and stress at the office.
W: It's essential to maintain a balance between health and work—you must make adjustments. I never want to see you brought to the hospital because of a heart attack.（9）
M: You're right. I've got to think about my children. What can I do
W: Let's chat weekly over the phone from now on to monitor your progress.（10）
M: I've already paid $100 per checkup. How much will that cost （10）
W: Through your insurance, it'll only be a quarter of that per week.（10）
M: Sounds very reasonable.
（Text 8）（第11题为总结题）
W: Did you know that the people in Germany consume the most amount of beer in Europe
M: I can believe it. They have a yearly beer festival called Oktoberfest.
W: That's correct. In 2009, they consumed on average 110 liters per person, but it has gradually been declining.
M: What was it last year
W: In 2019 it was just under 100 liters per person.
M: That's still a lot.
W: Yes. There are roughly 1,300 German beer makers.（12）
M: Why is it so popular there
W: There is a law dating back to the 1500s about how to make beer as pure as it can be. That is why German beer is considered to be the best in the world.
M: I do like it, but I had some really better beer in England when I lived in London.
W: Where was the best beer you ever had （13）
M: Probably in Belgium, which is right next to Germany. So that makes sense.（13）
（Text 9）（第14 题为推断题）
W: Andy Seth is a 27-year-old professional card player.（15）Andy, how did you get your start in playing cards
M: My curiosity in the game began with a TV program I saw in the early mid-2000s. It arose my interest in learning the strategy and reasoning behind it.
W: Can you describe an average game day
M: One of the most appealing aspects of being a professional card player is the freedom.（16）There is no typical day. One day I might spend my time playing a tournament at the World Series, and I will follow the schedule of the tournament for as long as I survive in it. The next day I might wake up not feeling like working and decide to relax or work on one of my other businesses.
W: Can you describe a reality of being a professional card player that other people may not know
M: The freedom is a double edged sword. You are your own boss and generally there's no one to tell you what to do or where to be. But you can often feel alone because there is no real concept of a team in cards.（17）
（Text 10）
Dear journal, I've been trapped on this island for two months and can only keep track of the days by my markings in a cave. I've entirely given up hope on getting rescued by a plane. The aircrafts that fly by are much too infrequent and far away to be of any help. Also, in this part of the Indian Ocean, there is no one on the island. I've searched this island far and wide, and I'm forced to eat mushrooms, insects, and small fish. Luckily, there are enough coconuts（椰子）to last a lifetime. I'm writing this to feel like I have contact with someone due to months without outside communication. I escaped the massive violent conflict in my country in the South Pacific, and I sought help from India.（18）There, I'd be taken in and could legally settle in a different country. If it wasn't for facing the random typhoon while crossing the Andaman Sea, I would have made it, even if my boat wasn't perfect. There was nothing I could have done to prevent this storm. The primary issue now is lacking any method of contacting emergency support. My satellite phone is unreliable and has now proven to be of no use at all. My hope now is to find a wood supply to get my boat functioning again. If not, I'll have to face my greatest panic: being stuck on this island forever.（19）（20）

An Inter-school Exchange
Last weekend, a delegation of 10 people from our sister school in the UK paid a visit to our school. To enhance mutual understanding and strengthen friendship, various activities have been arranged. During their stay, we showed them around the campus, where they experienced students' life in a typical Chinese high school. Afterwards, classes on traditional Chinese culture, such as Chinese painting and calligraphy, were also scheduled, followed by a gift-exchange activity.
This inter-school exchange was welcomed by all as it offered a channel to promote the cross-cultural understanding and we're eagerly looking forward to their next visit.

One possible version:
When she saw I was cramping, she offered me some sports drinks containing electrolytes（电解质）. "Here you are. It might help relieve your cramps." Much to my astonishment, it was Jessica that came to my rescue at this critical moment. "You saved my day!" I exclaimed gratefully and quickly drank a few mouthfuls. Though I gestured Jessica to leave me alone and continue the race, she shook her head, bent down and helped me stretch the muscle in my legs. Her genuine smile put me at ease and the symptoms gradually lessened.
The cramps in my legs finally started to go away. I proceeded to climb with confidence. As I eventually approached the first floor, I felt dizzy and frustration seemed to seize me again. But this time, I managed to compose myself. Exhausted as I was, I held on to the end and crossed the finish line just thirty seconds before the time limit! Upon finishing the climb, I headed towards Jessica and gave her a big hug. With the crowd erupting into applause, I came to realize there's more inside us than we know and we're even stronger together, which turned out to be the best trophy of all.
