Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. When she was a little girl, she loved animals very much. Once, she even hid in a hen house for hours just to watch how a hen laid an egg. Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This toy made Jane dream of working with animals one day.
When Jane grew up, she went to Africa to study chimpanzees. At first, the chimpanzees were frightened of her. They ran away when they saw her. But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. Slowly, the chimpanzees got used to her. She even gave them names like David and Goliath.
Jane found many amazing things about chimpanzees. She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat. Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. She also saw that chimpanzees loved their families. Mothers took good care of their babies, and chimpanzees played together like children.
Later, Jane wanted to tell the world about chimpanzees. She wrote books and gave talks. She wanted people to know that chimpanzees are smart and need our help. Now, many forests where chimpanzees live are being cut down. Therefore, Jane started groups to protect these forests and the chimpanzees.
Jane passed away last month. When she was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature. She once said, “Every individual matters.

Have you ever found yourself in a classroom, seen a classmate yawn (打哈欠), and suddenly felt like yawning too This common phenomenon (现象) lies beyond humans — even babies and animals like dogs and cats experience it. So what causes this behavior
First, yawning helps our bodies get more oxygen. Our brains need lots of oxygen to work well.
When we’re tired or sit still for a long time (like during a story time), we breathe slowly. Slow breathing means less oxygen goes into our blood. Our brains notice this and say, “We need more air”. Then — yawn! We open our mouths wide, take a big breath, and pull in fresh oxygen. It also pushes out old air that our body doesn’t need. It’s like pressing a “refresh” button for your body.
Also, yawning is highly contagious. That means if you see someone yawn, you might yawn too. Why Scientists think this might be a way we connect with each other. Long ago, when people lived in groups, yawning could say, “Let’s rest together” or “Wake up — we need to stay safe” . Today, it still makes us feel close to others. If your best friend yawns, your yawning back is like saying, “I’m with you.”
However, unlike popular belief, yawning is not only caused by sleepiness. It can also take place during moments of boredom, such as waiting in line, or surprisingly, when expecting exciting events like a birthday party or an important sports match. In these situations, a yawn may help prepare the body for upcoming changes in activity or stress levels.
So the next time you yawn, don’t feel shy! Recognize it as your body’s smart way to stay healthy. And if you see someone else yawns, go ahead and feel free to join in — it’s a harmless, shared biological experience.
8. How does yawning help our bodies
A．It helps us communicate with animals.
B．It prevents us from getting bored in class.
C．It makes us feel more sleepy and relaxed.
D．It increases oxygen intake and removes old air.
9. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Healthy.
B．Catching.
C．Dangerous.
D．Natural.
10. According to paragraph 4, in what situation are you most likely to yawn
A．Running a 100meter race.
B．Taking an important exam.
C．Reading an interesting novel.
D．Waiting at a railway station.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Is Yawning Shameful
B．Can You Control Your Yawn
C．Why Do You Yawn
D．When Will You Yawn

Regular exercise is important for teenagers, not just for physical fitness but also for brain development. New research has been uncovering the effects of sports on the teenage brain.
A study published in a leading medical journal followed a group of high school students over a term. One group was required to take part in at least three hours of mediumlevel to highlevel physical activity per week, while the other group had their regular PE classes only, which was less than an hour a week. At the end of the term, the students who exercised more showed clear gains in mental abilities.
They performed better in tasks that required attention, memory, and problemsolving skills. The reasons behind this are connected to the physical and chemical changes in the brain during exercise. When teenagers exercise, the blood flow to the brain increases. This brings more oxygen and nutrients, which are necessary for the healthy functioning of brain cells. Additionally, exercise stimulates (刺激) the release (释放) of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and endorphins. Dopamine is linked to motivation, focus, and learning, while endorphins can improve mood and reduce stress.
Moreover, team sports play a special role. For example, playing basketball or soccer involves teamwork, communication, and strategic (策略) thinking. In these sports, teenagers need to quickly judge the situation on the field, make decisions, and work together with their teammates. This not only sharpens their thinking skills but also helps in developing social skills. A coach from a local high school said, “I’ve seen students become more confident and better at dealing with pressure after joining our school’s basketball team. They learn how to communicate with different people and work towards a common goal, which is beneficial both on and off the court.”
However, many teenagers today lead inactive lives, spending long hours sitting in front of screens. This lack of exercise may have negative effects on their brain development. Experts are calling for schools and parents to encourage more physical activities among teenagers, to ensure they grow up with both healthy bodies and sharp minds.
12. What do we know about the study
A．Exercise leads to higher school grades.
B．PE classes are good for physical health.
C．Activities cause better task performance.
D．More exercise helps develop brainpower.
13. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3
A．The physical and chemical change.
B．The link between exercise and brain.
C．The healthy functioning of brain cells.
D．The increase in blood flow to the brain.
14. Why does the author mention the coach in paragraph 4
A．To show the need for better coaches.
B．To prove the social benefits of team sports.
C．To stress the importance of winning games.
D．To explain the reason for the effect of sports.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Healthy bodies matter most.
B．Parents ignore their teens’ habits.
C．Teenagers prefer active lives today.
D．Too little exercise can harm brain growth.
七选五
Shakespeare once wrote: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan (借款) often loses both itself and friend”. It is often used as a warning about the dangers of lending. ____16____
If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash, it can be very difficult to turn them away. ____17____ And if that money doesn’t come back, it can lead to fights or even legal battles. So how can we, as the lender, avoid these problems According to Bradley T. Koontz, an expert in psychology (心理学), there are some steps you can take.
Understanding why there is an unavoidable risk of lending anything to a friend is the first thing. And it’s not just the risk of losing the money, but the friendship could also be in danger. ____18____ The lender becomes the one in control, while the borrower may feel uncomfortable with the new situation. Similarly, if you try to advise them on what to do with the money, it might make things difficult between you two. In other words, let go — and see it as their money.
____19____ Saying ‘no’ is hard when a friend comes asking, but if you need that money, refusing is probably the best choice. If you still want to lend, making a formal agreement and writing everything down can help make sure the money is paid back on time. But some friends may not like being asked to sign something — seeing it as a lack of trust.
Finally, for some, it’s best to just see the money as a gift and be pleasantly surprised if something comes back. And if you do want to keep your friendship safe, when you need to borrow some money, what should you do ____20____
A．You feel under pressure to help.
B．Perhaps a bank is a better option.
C．Lending money is a good way to test a friend.
D．And if you can’t afford to lend something, don’t.
E．The friend might feel unhappy and end the relationship.
F．This is because lending has changed the balance of power.
G．But why can lending money be so harmful to our friendships

56范文
Dear classmates,
Good morning.
Our group hold the view that teenagers had better not try plastic surgery.
Firstly, teenagers are still growing. Plastic surgery may bring hidden health risks to their bodies. Besides, true beauty lies in one’s inner quality rather than appearance. What’s more, teenagers should focus more on study and selfimprovement. In short, we should accept and love our natural looks.
That’s all. Thank you.
