An old man lived in a village. He was one of the rudest (粗鲁的) people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always unhappy; he was always complaining (抱怨) and was always in a bad mood (情绪). When people tried to cheer him up, he would rudely turn them away.
The longer he lived, the more bad-tempered he became. People stayed away from him because his bad mood was contagious (传染性的). It was even unusual and impolite to feel happy around him. By behaving like this, he made the rest of the village feel unhappy as well.
But one day, the day he turned 80 years old, in fact—an unbelievable thing happened. The villagers said among themselves:
“The old man is happy today. He hasn’t complained about anything, he is smiling, and his faced looks kind.”
The whole village went to see the old man. One of the villagers asked the old man, “What happened to you ”
“Nothing special has happened, in fact,” the man said. “For 80 years I’ve been looking for happiness, and it was no use. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”
It is important to realize that your mood can affect (影响) the moods of those around you.
Everyone has bad days sometimes. If someone tries to cheer you up, don’t be rude to them. Just try to accept (接受) their help.
5. The old man would ________ when the villagers tried to cheer him up.
A. accept their help B. turn people away C. complain a lot D. feel happier
6. What does the underlined word “bad-tempered” mean
A. Having bad luck. B. Being in a good mood.
C. Being polite and usual. D. Becoming angry easily.
7 What happened on the day when the old man turned 80 years old
A. He found happiness. B. He let go of his happiness.
C. He got a contagious disease. D. He accepted help from others.
8. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. not everyone knows what they’re really looking for
B. we should know that our moods can affect others
C. bad moods can be contagious, while good moods can’t
D. don’t bother (打扰) people who are in a bad mood

What training do astronauts need
In 2003, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut in space. Since then, another 17astronauts have reached for the stars. Do you dream of being an astronaut How did they do it
In space, changes in the environment and loneliness test the minds and bodies of astronauts. So, the training (训练) for astronauts is very hard. “Astronauts take over 200 different training subjects before going to space,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. These include science and mental health (心理健康) classes.
The most tiring one is underwater training. Astronauts stay under the water in clothes heavier than 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. The heavy clothes make every move hard. “An astronaut once said he lost two kilograms after one underwater exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut does training for at least three and a half years before getting the chance to go to space.
New chances for all
This year, China is finding new people to be the fourth group of astronauts. The first and second groups of Chinese astronauts were all from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (中国人民解放军空军). However, in the third group, civilians (平民/非军人) could also become astronauts. They are experts (专家) and can do science studies in space. They don’t need to have “perfect (完美的)” bodies like pilot astronauts (航天驾驶员).
9. What do we know about Yang Liwei from Paragraph 1
A. He was the first Chinese astronaut to go into space.
B. He went into space with 17 astronauts in 2003.
C. He helped many people become astronauts.
D. He dreamed about other astronauts in space.
10. What does the underline word “these” refer to
A. science and mental health classes. B. changes in the environment and loneliness
C. the minds and bodies of astronauts D. over 200 different training subjects
11. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Astronauts” clothes. B. Underwater exercises
C. The training plan for a day. D. Astronauts’ feelings.
12. What kind of people can be astronauts in China in the future
A. People only from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force
B. Everyone of all ages in China
C. Experts who can do science studies in space.
D. Only pilot astronauts with perfect bodies

As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
41. What will happen if you do homework on the comfortable bed
42. How long can we take a rest after doing an hour of homework
43. According to the passage, who can you ask for help if you find some subjects hard to learn
44. Do you like to make a homework plan How do you use this way to make your homework easy
Write at least 30 words.
