take shorter showers. In the same way, kids must be taught to save water while using sinks and in the garden.
Video games use a lot of energy. Encourage kids to go out to play in the fresh air or complete their homework
rather than playing these video games. 2

electricity.

pot plants in the balcony（阳台） of your home.
Ask your kids to try to save paper. 4 Cutting down on the use of paper whenever possible will help to

Recently a video on Bilibili attracted widespread attention.About 1,000 students across China talked about what
they didn’t want to be in the future. 6 Normally, people talk about the things they do want to do or be.
Well, it turns out that most of the students are unsatisfied with the world as it currently is. There are lots of big
problems. Some have easy Wildly Impontant Goels solutions and others don’t. 7 In other words, they get
tired, worn--out and give up on having any dreams or hopes of being able to make the world a better place.
When I was a teenager, my parents told me I could do anything and be whatever it is that I wanted to be. 8 However, looking back, I really appreciated their advice, plus the excellent guidance I got from several outstanding teachers in high school and my experiences as a summer camp counselor(夏令营负责人), led me to pursue a career in education. I’ve been looking for more ways to encourage my students to keep their dreams alive. 9 I have
found that I have personally been able to achieve this in my current job as a Director of College Counseling.
But how can you achieve what it is that you want to do According to one of my favourite books, The Four Disciplines of Execution, there are four steps. Focus on your“wildly important goals”(your “WIGs”), measure your
progress, and finally check your progress. So what’s your WIG 10
A ．This was a bit unusual.
B ．I always encourage them to try to help make the world a better place.
C ．Don’t be afraid, think positively and dream big!
D ．I usually laughed and thought this was a bit silly and impractical.
E ．Most adults have become tired and bored.

When I was in third grade,I watched a video that shows the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb. I remember Howard Carter looking through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see.
“Wonderful things!” Carter said. 11
Today, I’m lucky to work as an archeologist (考古学家). I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt’s Nile
Delta. It’s exciting work. Sometimes you find something that was buried three thousand years ago. 12
So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right Not quite! The road wasn’t easy. I did my studies — university, then a PhD ．But along the way I was told many things: I was too young, I wasn’t qualified, I should get married and have kids. I also needed money, so I applied for six grants (拨
款). 13 Six months later the last reply came: This time it was yes. Finally, I could start my own study.
For anyone thinking about a career, I would say: Never give up. 14 If people tell you no, use that — it
will push you. At the beginning, it hurts. But the next no hurts a little less. It makes you stronger and actually helps
you.
Second, focus on your goals. You don’t have to follow other people. 15 You may be the first to do it!
There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end.
A ．The first five replies I got said no.
B ．If you want to do something, keep trying.

（2023·广东广州 · 广州市第一一三中学校考三模）When I was a child, my dad used to bring a camera whenever we went out. He is not good at taking pictures. He just enjoys taking pictures. 16 I loved it. But
gradually, I found it inconvenient to bring a camera. Cameras are heavy! I’d rather use my phone.
17 Our teacher was a great photographer and he never made his class boring. He was also a great friend
who encouraged me to learn what my camera could do by showing me amazing photos.
The class ended after one term. 18 After a long time of exploring, I found an “M” mode on my camera. At that moment, I realized this was what I needed. In the past, I often used the “Auto” mode 19 But in the “M” mode, you need to set the ISO, aperture（光圈）and shutter（快门）speed by yourself. Different values lead to different effects, so you can have complete control of your camera. I tried the long exposures（曝光）many times.
Every time, I failed. But the “M” mode did a great job. 20
Now I would like to take the camera with me wherever I go. Taking photos has become one of my great hobbies
already.
A ．However, my journey of becoming a better photographer had just begun.
B ．It was easy and convenient to use, but it never gave you the “wow” moment.
C ．Our school opened a photography class to all students in our grade that year.
D ．It was a lot of work finding the right setting, but it was perfect when I got it.

Kenneth Robinson talked about this at TED ． He told a story about Gillian Lynne, a great dancer and
choreographer(编舞者) who has worked in famous musicals like Cats and Phantom of the Opera.
Gillian Lynne never did well in school as a child. 21 . Her mother was quite worried about her. She took Lynne to see a doctor. 22 . Then, the doctor said to Lynne, “I need to talk to your mother first. Wait here.” As they left the room, the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne’s mother, “Just stand and watch her. 23 . The doctor then turned to Lynne’s mother and said, “Mrs. Lynne, your daughter isn’t sick. She’s a dancer.
Take her to a dance school.”
So she did. Lynne’s new dance school was full of people just like her-people who had to move in order to think. 24 . Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School, one of the world’s greatest dance schools, and became a great
dancer.
After leaving the school she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history. It is hard to believe that
years ago, somebody else would just put her on medication(药物治疗) and tell her to calm down.
Those who never do well in school needn’t worry. 25 .

Some believe that people are either smart or dumb. And if they are smart, everything is easy for them. 26
But they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones. What’s your opinion
In fact, this is related to one’s mindset ( 思维模式). Dr. Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has discovered that people with a fixed mindset solve problems in a much different way from those with
a growth mindset.
Dr. Dweck found people with a fixed mindset care about grades. When they make mistakes, they think it means they’re not smart. 27 They’re afraid of challenges, because if they don’t do well, they may look dumb. People with a growth mindset, on the other hand, care about learning, not grades. They learn from mistakes by trying
different ways to solve problems or asking for help.
28 They discovered that students with a growth mindset do better in math; those with a fixed mindset do worse. Why Kids with both mindsets dowell in primary school, but middle school mathis much harder. So while
the growth-mindset kids accept the challenge and work harder, the fixed-mindset kids may just give up. 29
But Dweck’s team discovered something even more important than that. They found that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset and do better in school. Everyone has some of each type of mindset. 30 When you hear your fixed mindset voice telling you that you’re dumb, or that you’ll look stupid if you ask for help, or that learning a new skill is hard, talk back to it! Then you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing and
challenging yourself!
A ．As a result, their grades drop.
B ．They also care about how smart they look.
C ．Some hold the belief that not everyone can become a genius.
D ．They are just like two kinds of voices in your head.
E ．Dweck and her team did a research among middle school students.

give in and go with them
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to
get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. 31 .
32 Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the names of different planets, or you got others excited about your new favorite book; and now everyone’s reading it. 33 For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; a friend of yours try to make you talk
something bad about another friend with him or her together.
It is difficult to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. 34
This can help you know the right thing to do. You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” 35 If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke, or lie to their parents, then you
probably won’t do these things either.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you trust. They
can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
A ．Peers can have a positive influence on each other.
B ．It’s something that everyone has to deal with—even adults.
C ．Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.
D ．But sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消极的） ways.
E ．Pay attention to your own feelings and thoughts about what is right and wrong.

Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico. How can it fly so far 36 Scientists
still don’t have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. 37 Four months later, it arrived in Mexico. 38 How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-
great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduced, and then dies. 39 Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great- grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring
will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
40 But they are not clear about everything.
A ．Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly.
B ．And why does it make this long and dangerous trip
C ．On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die.
D ．For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada.
E ．Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.

cultures and are often very old.

Franklin wrote a book called Poor Richard’sAlmanac. 42 Some of them are still used today, like this one: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Franklin is also

is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.

Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite food. “ 45 ” This proverb is true in love
and war or other situations. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.

music are usually more effective than other musical styles. 49 You may need experiments to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into . And remember to get the volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out (渐
弱). 50

Living away from your country can be a really unforgettable experience. But at the same time, it has very
important effects on your life. 56
The major effect, and also a very common one, is that once you start a regular life away from home, you miss everything. 57 Little things like sitting on a Sunday morning watching TV alone instead of having a nice chat
with your mom make you realize how valuable your family really is.
58 Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours, you have to be able to develop yourself in conditions which you are not used to. This means making new friends, accepting different
opinions, and catching every opportunity you have to go to new places.
The most significant（显著的）effect of living away from home is the independence that grows inside you. Living far from home, even for a short period of time, can be really hard at the beginning. There is no one else to
clean your room, or wash your clothes. 59
Living on your own far from your family gives you a lot of experience of organizing your life. 60 You
will eventually learn to feel thankful for everything you have.
A ．Missing your family and the attention they all paid to you is a very usual thing to do.
B ．However, being independent will help you get over many difficulties.
C ．Though all changes are difficult, it is necessary to go through them to build your character.
D ．This passage is to discuss the three main effects that living in another country can cause.
E ．Another effect is that you have to accept another type of society and culture in your daily life.
