I’m Tina. Last Saturday, my school organized a volunteer activity at a community center for the elderly. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to say, and I was afraid of making mistakes.
When we arrived, the volunteers were asked to play chess or read newspapers with the elderly. I chose to read newspapers to an old man named Mr. Zhang. He could not see very well. At first, I read in a very low voice because I was shy. Mr. Zhang smiled and said, “Young lady, your voice is so soft that I can hardly hear you. Just read as if you were reading to your grandfather.” His words made me feel warm.
I took a deep breath and began to read again, more loudly and clearly. After I finished one piece of news, Mr. Zhang clapped his hands and said, “Good job! I haven’t felt so happy for a long time.” Seeing his big smile, I suddenly felt proud of myself. For the rest of the day, I chatted with him happily. He told me stories about his youth, and I shared my school life with him.
When it was time to leave, Mr. Zhang held my hand and said, “Come again, please.” I promised him I would. On the way home, I kept thinking about how a small act of kindness could bring so much joy to others and myself. I realize that helping others is not a task—it is a gift. Now I am no longer afraid of talking with the elderly, and I have decided to be a regular volunteer at the center.

When people in Europe look up at the sky, they sometimes see yellow dust clouds (沙尘云) and “blood rain”. It may sound strange but this is because dust storms from the Sahara Desert travel thousands of kilometers. Climate change also causes this problem.
More than half of the world’s dust comes from the Sahara. Under hot, dry and windy conditions, particles (颗粒) are lifted several kilometers into the air and moved across Europe.
As the weather gets warmer, the soil (土壤) becomes drier. This makes it easier for the wind to carry dust away. If conditions get worse, the Saharan dust in the air could increase by 40 to 60 percent by the end of 2090.
Saharan dust not only brings many problems to the sky of Europe, but also makes the air worse and causes fine particles called PM10. These particles can get into our bodies and cause health problems like asthma (哮喘).
The dust also makes the snow in the Alps turn darker. The snow reflects (反射) less light from the sun, so it melts (融化) faster. The dust can also cause problems for planes and cars, because it’s harder to see clearly.
To solve the problems, people should plant more trees and protect the topsoil in the Sahara. In Europe, simple actions like creating more green spaces can help improve the environment. More efforts are needed to fight against Saharan dust pollution.
24. How does the writer start the passage
A．By describing a fact.
B．By asking a question.
C．By listing numbers.
25. What does the underlined word “increase” mean
A．Stop. B．Rise. C．Reduce.
26. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Saharan dust
A．It causes some health illnesses like asthma.
B．It brings bad influence on driving and flying.
C．It makes the snow in the Alps melt more slowly.
27. What is the purpose of the passage
A．To call on people to fight against Saharan dust.
B．To show how to stop dust storms in the Sahara.
C．To explain the causes and harms of Saharan dust.
28. What is the main structure of the passage
D
You may feel sad or lonely sometimes. It is common to have such feelings, especially when you are upset or tired. You might wonder how you can cheer up and get out of bad emotions. ___29___
Firstly, getting close to nature is a great way to improve your emotions. You can see things in a new light (角度) and forget small troubles. ___30___ Instead of staying alone in a room, you can walk outside, listen to the wind and feel relaxed.

___32___ That is to say, as you pay more attention to your health, doing sports helps you reduce stress and feel more confident. And it keeps your spirits high.
All in all, these simple ways will make a big difference to you. ___33___ In fact, a good emotion comes from your small daily changes.
A．This helps to develop happy feelings.
B．We may feel better by talking to friends.
C．You can choose warm and pleasant songs.
D．They truly help you live a better and happier life.

Dear friends,
I’m glad to stand here and give you a speech. Today my topic is “Happiness in My Eyes”.
In my eyes, happiness lies in small warm moments and meaningful little things around us.
Last term in Grade Eight, my deskmate fell behind in English. I spent my free time helping her review grammar and memorize words every day. After weeks’ efforts, she made great progress. She gave me a hand-made card to thank me. At that moment, I felt so happy.
This experience teaches me that happiness comes from giving and helping others. Small kindness can bring warm joy to both others and ourselves. I will keep doing small good things to get more happiness.
Thank you for listening!
