The Self-Portrait Challenge
Have you ever done a self-portrait in an art lesson at school Today, we’re challenging you to write self-portrait poems. It’s not uncommon to feel like the way people see you on the outside doesn’t quite match up with how you feel on the inside. So creating a self-portrait can be a good opportunity to address those differences and present the realest, truest version of yourself.
Your challenge is to create a self-portrait in lines, using words instead of paint. Read on for some more inspiration.
Writing Tips
·Have a go at writing a list of metaphors exploring your physical appearance, starting from your head and working your way down towards your feet.
·Instead of representing yourself directly, take on another character, such as a fictional character, a historical figure, or even a different version of yourself.
·Play around with personification, by taking on the voice of a physical object in your poem. Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror, or a bowl of your favourite food would look like

Lima, the capital of Peru, is the world’s second largest desert city. The region is water-stressed. The annual rainfall is less than 4 cm. Access to water is an ongoing problem for the residents in and around the South American capital.
When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to climb down a valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and steep,” he says. Cruz began dreaming up better ways to collect water. Then he noticed that subtropical plants capture rain and mist with their wide leaves. Actually Lima doesn’t lack in humidity（湿度）, averaging 83% year-round. Located in the foothills of the Andean mountains, it is close to the Pacific Ocean, which ensures that blankets of thick fog roll in for three-quarters of a year. Eventually, Abel Cruz struck upon the idea of a fog net.
Each upraised net is 20 square meters, where micro drops of water floating in the foggy atmosphere condense （凝结） and drop into collection tanks. Approximately 200 to 400 litres of water is collected daily from each net. Locals can fetch it in buckets for small-scale farming. Working in Lima with support from the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has installed over 3, 600 nets on hillsides around the city to capture fog floating in from the Pacific Ocean. Cruz raised funds for hundreds of nets in Peru with his revolutionary initiative Peruvians Without Water. He aims to set up even more fog harvesters, and to treat the water to make it drinkable.
“The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz points out, “because the glaciers that are natural reservoirs are disappearing. So we must find a way to accumulate and save water for times of drought.” The technology is life-changing for the poor households who normally have to rely on water tanks being delivered to them. His approach ends extreme poverty and brings rural development. Moreover, he is trying to bring healthy and clean water also to urban areas lacking water.
24. Why does the author mention Cruz’s childhood experience in paragraph 2
A. To illustrate the urgency of reducing poverty. B. To trace the origin of Cruz’s great invention.
C. To highlight his responsibility for the family. D. To stress Lima’s terrible geographical conditions.
25. What do we know about Cruz’s invention
A. It was inspired from subtropical plants.
B. It promoted the scale of farming.
C. It used collection tanks where water drops condensed.
D. It resolved the drinking water issue with fog harvesters.
26. Which quality of Abel Cruz is shown in the text
A. Optimism B. Generosity C. Frankness D. Creativity
27. Which one is probably the best title of the text
A. The Worsening Water Crisis in Lima. B. The Functions of an Innovative Fog-catcher.
C. Abel Cruz’s Invention and Its Great Significance. D. Abel Cruz’s Fundraising for Water Collection.

Search “toxic parents”， and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from offensive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst （精神分析学家）, I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement （疏远） has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Today’s social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have—themselves—to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend: situations with no winners, only isolated humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.
What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust How can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human Good relationships are not the result of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.
To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single project of “self-help”， because at the end of the day, real intimacy （亲密关系） is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it’s worth the work.
28. Why do young people cut ties with the family
A. To gain an independent life. B. To follow a tendency towards social justice.
C. To restore harmony in the family. D. To protect their psychological well-being.
29. What does the underlined word “catch” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Response. B. Problem. C. Bond. D. Division.
30. To manage family conflict, what should young adults do in the author’s view
A. Break down boundaries. B. Accept imperfection of family members.
C. Live up to their parents’ expectations. D. Repair a family item that has broken up.
31. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value.
C. To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication.
D
Is forgiveness against our human nature To answer the question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essential nature of our humanity For the sake of simplicity, people consider two clearly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll(1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break. the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are distant accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving——its actual appropriateness in conflict situations—develops with practice.
32. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness
A. People should offer mercy to others.
B. Aggressive people should learn to forgive.
C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.
D. People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.
33. What does the example in paragraph 2 illustrate
A. To forgive is to love. B. To give is to receive.
C. To dominate is to harm. D. To cooperate is to connect.
34. What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness
A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Objective. D. Skeptical.
35. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph
A. Forgiveness is in our nature. B. It takes practice to forgive.
C. Forgiveness grows with time. D. Actuality is based on potentiality.

Questions You Must Answer to Find Your True Path in Life
Walking the path of life is no more different than exploring uncharted territories. Many of us stop occasionally and ask ourselves questions such as: “Am I doing this right How do I know this is what has to be done 36 ” If you’d like to get to find your true path in life, here are some questions you’ll have to answer.

Please write down the things that cross your mind when you think of your whys. 37 You are a unique person with unique needs and wishes.

·Am I self-aware
Do you value constructive criticism Are you always honest If your answer to these questions is no, then you need to work on your self-awareness.

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。
It was a warm Sunday. 16-year-old Stella settled down with a book, enjoying her quiet moment when her friend Bog came over with his 6-year-old sister. “Stella, please! I need you to help to watch Hazel! I have a lecture to attend this afternoon,” Bog begged.
Stella frowned, not thrilled with the idea of babysitting a little girl. However, Bog didn’t offer her any other choice. He dropped Hazel off with Stella and quickly ran away before she could react.
With a heavy sigh, Stella unwillingly turned her attention to Hazel. “Fine, just stay there and don’t cause any trouble,”she grumbled （嘟囔）. To her surprise, little Hazel smiled and obediently （顺从地） sat by the table, drawing quietly without making a single noise.
For the next hour, Stella was quietly engaged in reading without being disturbed by Hazel. Gradually, her annoyance disappeared and she got accustomed to the company of Hazel. After a while, Hazel cautiously approached Stella, holding a picture. “Look, it’s you and me,” she said in a low voice. It was a simple drawing of two girls, hand in hand, smiling.
Stella’s heart softened as she looked at the drawing. She felt guilty about treating Hazel impatiently. Setting her book aside, Stella smiled warmly and said, “I love it. Thank you!” Then Stella began to join Hazel to create it together.
Just as they were lost in a world of colors, a sudden phone ringing broke the warm atmosphere. It was a phone call from her friend, reminding her about the long-awaited plan to go skating on the ice rink （溜冰场）. Stella’s heart sank because she had forgotten all about it. She was torn between the desire to go skating and her duty to look after Hazel . She was also worried that taking her to skate would prevent her from enjoying gliding（滑） freely on the ice.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes. _____________________________________
