Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.
“Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly but I cannot.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert, “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
58. Where did the little stream aim to reach
A. The ocean. B. The forest. C. The desert. D. The river.
59. The little stream ________ before she got to the desert.
A. didn’t meet much difficulty B. was worried about herself
C. knew well about the desert D. was confident about herself
60. The little stream finally crossed the desert by ________.
A. evaporating into the breeze B. forming a river
C. disappearing into the sand D. changing her nature
61. What does the story mainly tell us
A. The road to success is not always easy and smooth.
B. Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves.
C. To succeed, we change the way we are if necessary.
D. We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream.

When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s likely that students with those thoughts will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them
Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking (批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has their own responsibility.
So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid of asking any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.
Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning.
Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.
62. The article is written for ________.
A. teachers B. parents C. students D. travelers
63. Students in America finish their schoolwork by ________.
A. thinking critically alone B. working in a group
C. watching what others do D. arguing with other students
64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The style of teaching and learning in America are very similar to those in China.
B. The discussion or even arguments between you and your group members can lead to a friendship.
C. Faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment can be a happy feeling.
D. The writer suggests us writing down three new things that we are grateful for every morning.
65. How is the article organized
A. B. C. D.

Smartphone ownership among younger children is increasing rapidly. Parents of younger children may occasionally look at their child’s phone to check whether it’s being used responsibly and safely. But as children mature into teens, parental inspections will likely feel like an invasion (侵犯) of privacy. So, what do parents need to consider when making the “phone rules” for their children as they get older
Parents get their younger children phones for many reasons. Some feel it’ll help keep kids safe when, for example, travelling on their own to and from school. Others have bought one after intense pressure from their child or worry their child will be left out socially if all their friends have a phone. Some also tell me they are reluctant to let their child use the parents’phone for fear of risking important work files or information stored on the phone.
Parents understandably want their children to be safe. Monitoring may be part of this, but it’s not the whole story. Education and open dialogue about phone safety should begin the day the child gets their phone and continue as they grow. This may include controls, restrictions and monitoring, but does not necessarily need to include phone checking. Establishing the rules on safety and wellbeing for using the phone is the key. This means talking to the children about how and when they use their phone, why they shouldn’t answer unknown texts and calls, beware of giving out personal information online, and about being kind online. Let the children know they can always talk to their parents if they have a weird or bad experience online.
As children mature, parental guidance also needs to change. After about 12 months of the child’s phone ownership, checking phone s needs to fade, and ongoing open communication needs to become the mainstay. Parents may also try new ways of using the phone or certain apps together with their child. For example, they can use the screentime feature to discuss, and be aware of their developing phone habits.
66 Which of the following is the reason for parents’ buying their children smartphones
A. Knowing children’s school life. B. Following others’ steps.
C. Taking online courses. D. Sharing their life at work.
67. What’s likely to threaten children’s safety
A. Keeping secret of their personal information.
B. Answering unknown texts and calls.
C. Setting up rules on safety of using the phone.
D. Chatting with their parents about their phone use.
68. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Strange. B. Pleasant. C. Precious. D. Ordinary.
69. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Checking phones is the best way to ensure children’s online safety.
B. Open dialogues between parents and children improve their relationship.
C. Using screentime feature is helpful to prevent giving out personal information.
D. Parental guidance should be based on solving problems together and respectfully.

After hours of working, many people experience significant drops in energy and find themselves in desperate need of a recharge. But instead of grabbing a coffee, it may be more worthwhile to take a short sleep break known as a power nap.
A power nap can “provide the refreshment you need if you’re struggling to stay alert or haven’t had a good night’s sleep,” explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist. A power nap “gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity (生产率),”she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly.
How long should a power nap be Sleep experts say that an effective power nap should only last 20-30 minutes to increase alertness throughout the day. According to James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who invented the term “power nap” more than 50 years ago, “It’s an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge.”
For most people, 15 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day. However, Maas warns that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. “Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, you’re going to wake up feeling very weak and tired for another hour or so.”
Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night.”
In contrast to coffee, which is likely to “damage your sleep at night and only offer short term energy for about 30 minutes,” Robbins says a power nap is a healthier alternative to improve workplace performance, strengthen memory and boost creativity.
Harris adds naps have long-term health benefits too, such as improving your mood and aiding in stress management. “Power naps can reduce accidents and mistakes while also improving attention, alertness, concentration and performance. They can even be used effectively to fight sleepy driving when a short nap is taken just before getting behind the wheel,” she says.
70. What did James Maas suggest about a power nap
A. The best time to nap is from 1 p. m. to 3 p. m.
B. The longer you nap, the more refreshed you’ll be.
C. It’s better to be kept within 15 minutes.
D. Napping too long does more harm than good.
71. Good power naps have the following benefits except __________.
A. contributing to our refreshment.
B. improving our memory and mood.
C. disturbing your sleep at night.
D. helping effectively manage stress.
72. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tips on Taking Power Naps
B. Ways to Get You Refreshed
C. The Benefits of a Power Nap
D. Steps to Improve Your Sleep

Mother’s Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers. ____73____ Based on my research and those of other psychologists, here are some tips for celebrating moms on Mother’s Day, and every day, to enhance (增强) well-being for both moms and their loved ones.
____74____ Psychology research suggests that Mother’s Day cards have it right — building a mother’s confidence by telling them that they’re amazing or that they always know how to make the family feel better can be greatly effective in enhancing moms’ happiness. ____75____ Compared to fathers, mothers generally report feeling more emotionally connected to their kids and more strongly identifying as a parent. A phone call with their kids can really improve a mom’s well-being.
The benefits of celebrating moms also reach their kids. ____76____ For example, my research has found that moms who are less stressed are seen by their adolescent kids as being better at understanding the kids’ ideas. When mothers feel positive, they have better communication with their kids and their kids feel better. That means it’s important to send appreciation mom’s way every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
Mothers are the main source of comfort and care for families around the world, yet it’s easy to take them for granted (想当然认为) most days across the year. ____77____ Helping moms feel happy will help the family feel happy, too.
A. So what can families do to enhance moms’ happiness
B. Stress can also impact how attentive moms are to their family.
C. However, we don’t often hear about the benefits of celebrating moms.
D. Positive parents enhance children’s men tal well-being and social bonds.
E. Moms play an important role in shaping our identities and guiding our life.
F. While flowers on Mother’s Day are appreciated, let’s celebrate moms every day.
G. If you’re an adult living far away from your parents, don’t forget to call your mom.
