Test 1
A bunch of pretty flowers will usually make a friend smile.We know flowers cannot last，but surely there are ways to keep some of their beauty.__1__
You can press either whole flowers or single petals(花瓣)．This depends on what type of flowers you use.First，divide the flower into petals.Then，line each petal with paper and put petals between the pages of books.The liners between the pages will dry up the petals.The texture(质地)of the paper used for drying will change the look of the petals.For instance，if you use a rough paper towel，its pattern will transfer to the petals.__2__
Keep the books in a warm，dry place.The petals should be dry enough for use after two weeks.They will feel much like paper.You are now ready to make a design.It is best to start by making an outline with a pencil.__3__ Using a nonacid white glue will help the picture last longer.
The rest of the process is up to you.__4__ You can make your design different and special.You can either use whole petals or tear them into various shapes.Some flowers are so fragile that they need careful handling.Choose the colors you like.You can create a picture like an actual flower garden，or whatever you prefer.When the work is done，frame it.These framed pictures make great gifts.But you may want to keep them for yourself.
__5__ Practice the art of fleurage.It is a wonderful way to keep the beauty of flowers.This type of flowers can last forever.And they never need water!
A．Then，glue the petals in the outlined space.
B．It's a good chance for you to personalize your work.
C．Outlining the design is the last step of this art.
D．And“fleurage” ，or the art of pressing flowers，is one of them.
E．A soft facial tissue will create a more natural look.
F．It is a good idea to hang your work away from the sun.
G．The next time you receive a bunch of flowers，don't throw them away.
Test 2
Food waste has become a severe problem across the world due to a lack of understanding of how to effectively use food and conserve it.Roughly one third of the food produced globally is either lost or wasted every year.__1__
Stop Food Waste Day is an international day of action in the fight against food waste.It started in 2017 by Compass Group，one of the world's largest food service companies serving restaurants，cafes，hospitals，schools，and more.__2__ On this day，Compass country teams will work together to raise awareness of the critical food waste problem and inspire change.
Stop Food Waste Day aims to educate people about their food waste.__3__ Stop Food Waste Day hopes to change the way leftovers are used，so people can take the most significant advantage of what food they use.The Compass Group focuses the efforts on its mission by teaching their chefs how to track and reduce waste as much as possible.They also seek to donate more than 250，000 pounds of food each year to local food banks.
__4__ Show your support by looking up simple recipes to best use leftovers and fresh produce.Before shopping for food，plan ahead by making a list and only buying what you know you'll use.__5__
Get into the habit of freezing leftovers，instead of throwing them in the rubbish bin.Besides，help teach people about the benefits of stopping food waste.
A．It brings about 30 countries together.
B．Now it's your turn to take action.
C．Food waste，however，can be stopped.
D．Help schedule cooking demonstrations and share recipes.
E． More importantly，it offers creative and impactful solutions.
F．Compass Group promised to reduce food waste by 30% by 2025.
G．Also avoid wasting food by seeing what needs to be used up before you go shopping.
Test 3
My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item.Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White.This reminded me of my seventh grade musical—“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.”I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky，the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend.__1__
For starters，Becky had to sing numerous solos，and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.
I was assigned the non singing role of Miss Watson，the Maid.I had to wear an ugly dress.And I had only one line to learn，“That's what I say.”__2__ Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes，and got to repeat “That's what I say”throughout the play.
At last，our production was put onstage.Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with “That's what I say.”I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny，or that her character was important in moving the plot along.__3__
That night，I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand out in a supporting role.Each person，onstage and backstage，is essential in theater.Without everyone doing their part，the play would be dull as dirt.__4__ If everyone is a star then nothing gets done.It's all noise and chaos.
And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson，to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be.__5__
A．So it is in life.
B．It was not to be.
C．It was anything but a great part.
D．My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.
E．It took the entire cast to make a good show.
F．There was an advantage，in my opinion，though.
G．I would hope all children could be a hit in life.
Test 4
Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities？Urban areas also tend to get hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery.__1__
It's mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside.In the country，evaporation(蒸发)of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air.__2__ Having fewer plants，cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem.Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light，making the temperature increase more noticeably.In contrast，white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy.__3__ Sadly，most parts of cities are covered by asphalt(沥青)，steel，roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
__4__ As people drive cars，heat buildings，and run air conditioners，cities are generating waste heat and puring it into the atmosphere directly.The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don't have to be so hot.Some cities have lightened their streets.This is done by covering black asphalt streets，parking lots，and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating.__5__
Having more green spaces also helps.Plants serve as a natural air conditioner.They catch heat，release vapour(蒸汽)into the air，and take away heat，contributing to cooler，fresher cities.
A．Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
B．The higher the temperature，the shorter the wavelength.
C．This phenomenon is known as the urban heat island effect.
D．So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E．Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F．Much of the soil in cities，by contrast，has been covered with roads and buildings.
G．These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically，especially in summer.
Test 5
With New Year approaching，year end reviews dominate the airwaves.__1__．Lose ten pounds？Read a book a month？However，I've never given much thought to New Year's resolutions.I make intentions instead.It means setting one's purpose toward a path instead of action toward specific behavior.And more than that，I'm setting them in a framework(体系)that will give them wings.
Set time，not goals
A wise friend once told me“Do not set a result as the goal.Set the time in which you do the things you want to do.”For example，I usually tell myself I should write more.__2__．Then，I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write，for example，from 8：30 a．m.to 11：30 a．m.
Take advantage of the Premack principle
The Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of high probability behavior can make low probability behavior more likely.__3__．So，now that I've set my intention to write and the time to write，I can link it to high probability behavior，such as dropping my kids off at school in the morning.The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self motivation talk.__4__．
__5__
Let's face it，no matter how much you set an intention，if there's no enjoyment once you start，it will likely fall by the wayside.So，finding a path that you enjoy will bring the same results.In truth，I hate exercising，but，luckily，I walk my dog.A lovely way to exercise，go out in nature，enjoy companionship，and meet people!
A．Face your intention directly
B．One intention，multiple paths
C．Over time，it becomes routine as well
D．But the result proves far from satisfactory
E．Perhaps most are also making New Year's resolutions
F．Resolutions seem to hold people prisoners rather than free them
G．In other words，to enact new behavior，attach it to well established behavior
Test 6
How to Take Effective Notes During Lectures
Effective note taking is an active part of the learning process that requires you to get the main idea and write down its key words in your own way.__1__
Prepare for the lecture in advance.
Teachers hand out outlines of their lectures before they begin.__2__It can help you focus on the difficulties you have in understanding and you will be able to ask better questions in class.
Find your style of taking notes.
__3__ For example，some visual learners could draw certain shapes to represent important concepts.Some people prefer writing words，and some may find it most helpful to record a lecture and listen to it while studying.You have to find the style works best for you.
__4__
Rather than writing complete sentences or even complete words，create a form of fast and brief writing with some signs or phrases to make note taking easier.This will help you take notes quickly and keep up with the lecture.
Take down key points.
It is important to write down key points from the lecture.__5__ Things like key ideas，definitions，and descriptive phrases can help you remember the subject.For example，if the lecture is based on a specific battle in history，try to write down the date，the major characters involved and the overall outcome of the struggle.
A．Develop your shorthand.
B．Write questions as you are listening.
C．Skimming them will warm up your brain.
D．Everything you learn may be helpful in the future.
E．Different people may have different ways of note taking.
F．It means you need to focus on the most meaningful information.
G．With the following tips，you can become a better lecture note taker.
Test 7
We clearly live in an era with little patience.Entire TV series are available at once on streaming services，and burning questions are solved in seconds via a search engine.This instant satisfaction，undoubtedly，is killing our ability to wait.__1__．Here are some strategies to pick up that magic mix if you weren't born with it.
Visualize success
There's no need to set a real situation where you wait in a super long grocery checkout line to test yourself.Simply visualizing it helps a lot.See yourself smiling and breathing as you wait for the line to move.__2__．For example，you could say，“it's not bad to enjoy this magazine while waiting”．Your mind will start to process the picture as a real experience and help to set you up for future successes.
Slow down
Racing around is not necessarily the only way to get what you want.__3__．Most adults do not feel happy when they're rushing，and children are even less capable of doing it with a good attitude.Instead of sweating through your routine，turn on some background music you like and move at a normal pace.
__4__
The ability to let your mind wander，whether daydreaming or actively applying your imagination，is a skill that improves patience.__5__．Take a break and do something that could free your brain from the work that takes tons of energy.This helps you build up your staying power，so next time you might be more patient and more likely to focus on your task.
A．Learn to distract yourself
B．Add some positive words if possible
C．Therefore，we are getting more and more impatient
D．You don't have to get the whole paper done in one go
E．We get so caught up in hurrying that we get stuck in that mode
F．But sometimes，a fast pace does improve our working efficiency
G．Thus，the loss of this mixed quality of tolerance and calmness is unavoidable
Test 8
It's always exciting to begin a new job.But among the frenzy(极度激动) of meeting new colleagues，starting new projects，and building new skills，there can be a stressful pressure to succeed.A big part of your success is determined by how quickly you are able to digest lots of information，which can be very hard.__1__
*Manage yourself
When you notice information overload，don't ignore it and don't panic.Say to yourself，“I'm in a new job and there is plenty to learn here.It's okay to feel this way.”__2__ Remember that emotions can help you better understand yourself and your values.
*Sort your information
__3__．It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short term memory，and it mixes together information we may need to use in the future to store in our long term memory.For the information that's not needed，our brain acts like a garbage management，recycling and deleting it.
*__4__
Organizations often have digital knowledge management systems to store and take important information.You can do the same to reduce brain burden.I recommend creating a Word document in which you write down information that your brain doesn't need to remember or store.
*Reduce task switching
Multitasking isn't good for you physically or mentally and is worse for your productivity and cognition (认知)．__5__．You can go for longer than that，but be sure to take a break.Focused activity is less taxing than multitasking，but you can't keep working endlessly.
A．Respond positively
B．Use technology to help
C．That problem is much easier to understand and solve
D．Here are some methods to deal with the informationoverload
E．For greater results，focus on one task for around 25 minutes
F．Our brain is like a clever piece of equipment that “takes in information”
G．This self talk helps normalize the situation and makes the emotions easier to handle
