National Parks in Utah
Zion National Park
It’s perfect for scenic drives and outdoor adventures. One of the park highlights is the Zion Canyons, which offers different hiking (远足) opportunities.

It’s home to the greatest number of hoodoos (石林) on earth, which are one of the natural wonders of the world. You can see most of Bryce Canyon’s highlights in one day by taking the scenic drive and making stops at various views.

Although it’s the 23rd largest National Park in the US, Canyonlands is the largest out of the four national parks in Utah. The best time of the year to visit is when the weather is pleasant in the spring and fall. The park has four main parts: The Maze, Island in the Sky, The Needles, and Horseshoe Canyon. If you plan to visit every part, you can go on a boat tour to explore it.
Arches National Park
Known as a red-rock wonderland, Arches National Park is popular for its stone arches (石拱).The park has over 2,000 stone arches, with Landscape Arch the largest.

It was the early 1950s, and I was a member of the A class at Armidale High School in northern New South Wales.
In second and third year we all did General Maths, and our teacher was Mrs Lindsay—Clare Lindsay. Her arrival at our classroom was always quick, “Good morning, everyone!” “Small but energetic, she would drop her thing on the teacher’s table, and move immediately to the blackboard, continuing the material of the last lesson as though we had all just been away from the room for five minutes. Our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.
I’ve thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic There’re two reasons and I think they’re necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us, in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.
“Now we could go down this path, couldn’t we We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn’t work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)!” She would put a big cross, and write “NCD” against what she had put down. “Right! Why not go down this new path ” And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I’ve never found maths difficult, and I put that skill own to her.
In fourth and fifth years, we divided into the science and arts streams, and Mrs Lindsay didn’t teach us any more. But as the Leaving Certificate exams were coming, one of my friends became nervous about how much maths he didn’t know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Maths paper. “Of course!” she said, and did just that, after school, in her own time. He passed. What a good teacher!
24．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．What Mrs Lindsay was like. B．How Mrs Lindsay started her class.
C．How Mrs Lindsay treated her students. D．What activities Mrs Lindsay organized in class.

C．She had a wide knowledge of maths. D．She loved her job and her students.

B．He found that the maths skill was difficult to learn.
C．He thanked Mrs Lindsay for teaching him the maths skill.
D．He hoped Mrs Lindsay would teach him more maths skill.
27．Which of the following can best describe Clare Lindsay

C．Energetic(热情的) and strict. D．Generous（慷慨的） and careful.

Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr.Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “Firstly, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”
Dr Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn up calories. Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.
Dr Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person s strength.
28．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important
A．It can make the teenagers grow taller.
B．It can help teenagers become healthier.
C．It can help to burn up calories.
D．It can increase teenagers’ strength.
29．In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.
A．walking B．stretching and bending
C．riding D．weight-training
30．What is the best title for the passage
A．Doing exercises B．Teenagers fitness
C．Different lifestyles D．Overweight teenagers
D
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test.But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next,the researchers used younger students in a biology class.They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+,compared to a B-for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious,who'd done our writing intervention(干预),all of a sudden there was no relationship between test fear and performance.They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
32.What do the students start worrying about before an exam
A.Whether they can pass the exam.
B.What other students do during the test.
C.Whether they have remembered the materials.
D.What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
33.What is the solution developed by researchers
A.Making the students focused on the test.
B.Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
C.Having the students write about their worries about the test.
D.Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.
34.According to Professor Beilock,those who thought about things unrelated to the test_
A.became less nervous before the test
B.did worse than those who wrote about their feelings C.were better at controlling their feelings
D.did better than those who wrote about their feelings
35.We can infer from the last paragraph that
A.writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B.we can only write about our worries right before an exam
C.the best place to write about our worries is in the test room before an exam
D.it doesn't matter where and when we write about our worries before an exam

Do you often compare yourself to other people Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap(陷阱).
Why is it so easy to compare yourself to others
Whether it's the number of goals you've scored in football or how many books you've read,it's easy to compare yourself to someone else 36 .Although comparing can be good for you,it's not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap.This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.
Can comparisons be good for you
Becky Goddard-Hill is the author of Create Your Own Confidence. 37 “Comparing up”means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to encourage yourself to try harder.However, Goddard-Hill says,"Sometimes it can knock your confidence 38 While this might make you feel like you're doing well,says Goddard-Hill,it can also stop you from wanting to improve.
39
If your feelings depend on what other people are doing,"Surround yourself with cheerleaders," suggests Goddard-Hill.Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you.If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you are failing,unfollow them.“Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,”she says. 40 “The best person you can compete with is yourself,says Goddard-Hill.
A.Think about why the comparison is good for you.
B.She says comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.
C.Get away from the comparison trap.
D.Scientists say it's natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other.
E.You often compare yourself to others.

第四部分写作
Dear Chris,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting in at your new school.Such problems are quite normal.Perhaps the following suggestions may come to your aid.
Firstly,I think you may need to communicate with your classmates as much as possible.In this way,you will get to know each other better.Besides,it might be a good idea for you to take part in more activities,which usually involve team work and interactions with other students.It is not only good for developing friendly relationships but also meaningful to cultivate your team spirits(培养团队精神).Last but not least,turning to your teachers for help is a sensible choice.It is because they have more experience in dealing with such a problem.
I sincerely hope my advice will be of use to you.If there is anything more I can do to help,please let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
