It was a lazy August evening. With their parents out at the movies, Andrew and his little sister Linda had the house to themselves. After dinner, they each went back to their rooms, taking no notice of the half-open window in the living room.
Then, a large group of moths (飞蛾) got in. They flew around in the living room and landed on the light, forming a black cloud.
When Linda went to get her favorite toy bear in the living room, she was shocked to see the black cloud overhead. She froze for a second and then rushed to Andrew's room. "Help! Andrew, here's a monster in the living room!" Linda cried. Her cry scared the moths, sending them into a wild dance around the light.
Andrew found the "monster". He comforted (安慰) Linda, "Relax, they are just moths." He remained calm, as he learnt about moths in biology lessons last term. And he knew it was the light in the living room that drew them in.
Linda hid behind Andrew's back and asked, "What do we do "
"Don't worry," Andrew said, trying to calm her down. "I've got an idea!"
Andrew opened the window wide in the living room. Then he quickly turned off all the lights. The house fell into darkness in a second.
Five minutes later, the moths — sensing the light outside — made their way to the open window and disappeared into the night.
Linda jumped up and down, clapping. "How did you do that "
"The moths could sense the light. They followed the light outside the window after we turned off the lights inside." Andrew explained patiently, sounding just like his biology teacher.
"Moth hero! Well done!" Linda cheered, hugging Andrew tightly.
Linda cried because _______.
A. she missed her parents B. she was afraid of the moths C. she lost her favorite toy bear
How did Andrew feel when he saw the moths

You might think studying is something you should do alone. However, does it mean you should never try studying with someone Actually, having a study buddy, a friend who studies with you and makes you stay excited about learning, can really help you learn better!
One of the best things about having a study buddy is that you get to collaborate. When you put two minds together, problem-solving becomes faster and more creative. Imagine you both want to improve your writing. Your friend might be able to see words you've misspelt, and you could help correct your friend's grammar mistakes. Then, you could discuss and add finishing touches to your written work.
What's more, problems become opportunities. Maybe your buddy is good at English but finds math difficult, while it's the other way around for you. When you teach your friend how to solve a math problem, you start understanding it better. Scientists call this the "proégé effect". It means one can get smarter by helping someone else learn.
With a study buddy, it's easier to stay motivated (有驱动力的). By asking questions like, "Did you finish the reading " or "Ready to quiz each other ", you are holding each other accountable (负有责任的). This makes sure that both of you have your goals in mind and are doing your best.
The benefits of having a study buddy don't end here. If you're ready to give it a try, here's how to start:
Choosing the right partner (同伴) matters. Look for someone who balances your strengths and weaknesses. If you are a creative thinker but poor at making plans, team up with a buddy who's good at planning and managing (管理) time. Set achievable goals, such as learning 10 new words daily or reading one book every month. Set clear rules, like meeting weekly and never putting tasks off until the last minute. Don't forget to celebrate small wins! Treat yourselves if both of you do well on an exam.
Remember, a study buddy isn't just a homework helper — they are your partner in growth. By working together, you can get through challenges and discover the joy of learning as a team. So, pair up, and get ready to level up your grades — and your friendship!
According to the passage, a study buddy _______.
A. helps you to improve your study
B. does all of the difficult work for you
C. stays more excited about learning than you
The underlined word "collaborate" in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. challenge someone B. chat with others C. work with each other
What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about the "protégé effect"
A. Teaching others makes you a better learner.
B. Helping others learn brings you more friends.
C. Solving math problems improves your memory.
Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with
A. You're more likely to put tasks off with a study buddy.
B. People with the same study habits make great study buddies.
C. A good study buddy not only helps you but also lets you help them.
三、阅读理解 C篇(共4题,共56分)
(12分)阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
Physical activity is important and we often plan to do it. However, we don't often think about making time to exercise as a family. While we find time for family games or movie nights, we often forget family sports. Family exercise may seem silly, but there are many benefits (益处).
Form Lifelong Habits
By spending family time on a physical activity together, you encourage your children to exercise and build lifelong habits. When children see physical activities as an enjoyable thing to do together, they may keep family exercise as a family-time tradition as they grow up.
Build Teamwork
Children get more life skills at home than they do anywhere else. Teamwork is taught and encouraged in sports. By exercising together, you're encouraging teamwork and working together to reach a common goal, which helps teach your children the importance of goal setting as a team.
Bring Encouragement
Parents are great encouragers in education and sports. You can give your children encouragement when doing family sports. Studies show that family encouragement influences (影响) children's mental health in a good way. Good family bonding (联结) with family encouragement builds confidence (自信) in children.
It may be all well and good to think about exercising together as a family, but it may be difficult to get started Here is some advice for you.
Take turns on who gets to choose the physical activity. Maybe you enjoy traditional exercise while your child wants to dance. On your exercising day, encourage your child to follow along. Then allow your child to choose the next family physical activity.
Staying safe is always something important to think about for not only children but parents as well. Choose an activity with your child's abilities in mind. If some of your family members are not good at running, try to slow down or have them ride a bike along.
Family exercise can be both fun and a good chance for bonding. Remember to always choose the activity as a family and stay safe.
According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that _______.
A. it's always safe to exercise together as a family
B. it's good and easy for families to start exercising
C. children should play a part in deciding family exercise
D. children will exercise with family more if they are confident
The passage is probably written for _______.
A. children B. students C. teachers D. parents
What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage
A. The ways for families to exercise together and stay safe.
B. The choices of family exercise and the reasons to start it.
C. The benefits of family exercise and advice on how to start it.
D. The importance for children to exercise and get more life skills.
(12分)C
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about– creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
What does the underlined word “remedy” probably mean
A. Avoid. B. Accept. C. Improve. D. Consider.
When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.
A. blame him for his being short of responsibility B. find a better way to deal with the problem
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help
What can be the best title for the passage ( )
A. A Winner’s Secret. B. A Winner’s Chance.
C. A Winner’s Problem. D. A Winner’s Progress.

Feeling Sad Is an Important Part of Human Nature
Jerome Wakefield, a professor at New York University, mentions that feeling down after your heart is broken is normal and may even be beneficial (有益的). Recently, Wakefield's students have been coming up to him because their parents are pressuring them to get help for their sadness; often the kids want no part of it. Rather than "listen to medicine", they want to listen to their hearts. He believes these students' reaction shows an important part of human nature.
Professor Diener, who has studied happiness for a quarter century, finds that the Scots and many other people like being sad, and don't appreciate being told they should be happier. "They say too much happiness might not be such a good thing, no matter where it comes from," says Diener. He believes it's wrong for the "happiness industry" to send the message that not only can we all be happier, but we have a duty to be so. He believes that normal sadness is something we shouldn't avoid (避免).
Eric Wilson, a professor at Wake Forest University, made every effort to smooth out his habitual frown (皱眉) and wear a sunny smile, since a happy expression can lead to happy feelings. He even tried to be enthusiastic (热诚的). When neither of these made him happy, he concluded that such a happiness movement was no good for him at all. Americans, love for happiness, he writes, creates an environment where sadness is not valued.
These researchers believe the problem of continuous, extreme happiness should not be surprising, since negative emotions developed for a reason. For example, fear warns us against danger. Sadness, too, seems to be part of our DNA: monkeys, dogs and elephants all display something that looks like sadness. Being "up" all the time can cause you to play down very real threats (威胁).
They believe that only by experiencing sadness can we experience the fullness of the human condition. Their studies show that when you are in a negative frame of mind, you become more logical and more creative. Abraham Lincoln was not limited by his dark moods, and Beethoven composed his later works in a sad state. Vincent van Gogh, Emily Dickinson and other artistic giants saw the world through a glass darkly.
People who are somewhat unhappy are more motivated (有动力的) to improve both their own lot and the lot of their community. In contrast, people at the top of the happiness charts feel no such urgency (迫切需要). "If you're totally satisfied with your life," says Diener, "you don't feel like working for change. Be careful when people tell you that you should be happier."
According to Jerome Wakefield, the students refuse to get help for their sadness because _______.
A. they believe they have a duty to be happy
B. they prefer to experience sadness themselves
C. they think it useless to take medicine for sadness
What does the underlined phrase "smooth out" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Carry on. B. Pay attention to. C. Get rid of.
From the article we can learn that _______.
A. experiencing sadness may help artists create their works
B. sadness will make people understand the meaning of happiness
C. Eric Wilson managed to achieve happiness by avoiding sadness
What is the best title for the passage
A. The Value of Sadness B. People Prefer Sadness C. How to Become Happier

Did you know that some people don't do their reading assignments (作业) It's shocking, but it's true. Some students don't even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here's why.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old, their muscles begin to deteriorate (恶化). They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.
Read everything that you can at school whether you find it interesting or not. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a "boring" text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What's boring about that
Do not just discount (不考虑) a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment. when you read, and it's a positive escape. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze (挤) it for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.
Which is NOT a reason given by the author why students fail to complete reading assignments
A. Students may be bored. B. Students may be tired.
C. Students may be unwilling to focus. D. Students may be unconfident.

C. The text that helps you change the world.
D. The text that describes foreign customs.
Why does the author believe that reading is good for your mind state
A. Because it can make you calm. B. Because it can reduce your stress.
C. Because it provides a positive way to escape. D. All the above.
