On Friday afternoon when I picked Gabriel up from school, he came running towards me smiling widely. Straight away I noticed a gap on the bottom row of his teeth. I felt my heart stop for a moment. At first I thought perhaps he had had some accident, such as falling down the stairs. Gabriel wasn't old enough to lose teeth, was he?!
Before I managed to ask him, he shouted "Mummy! Mummy! I've lost a tooth!” To my amazement, Gabriel appeared to be happy! ”Wow! When did that happen?" I asked. He thought for a few seconds and told me that he wasn't sure. He remembered eating a cake at lunchtime, and later when he checked in the mirror, his tooth was gone! No pain, no stressing and no worries!
I admit I did feel a little emotional. We focused the early years on his teeth growing, but now Gabriel would lose all those baby teeth and get adult ones! I told Gabriel to write to the tooth fairy (仙子),who would certainly visit, locate the tooth and leave a coin. Surely enough, a shiny coin was under his pillow (枕头)on Saturday. When Gabriel broke the news to Daddy, we laughed about the amount of cash kids make out of their teeth—a child usually has twenty teeth. A nice profit!
I'm proud of Gabriel. He wasn't frightened or confused, although the missing tooth may be in his stomach, which he thought was quite funny! Later I got some knowledge about which teeth are likely to go at specific ages. Of course, the ages aren't quite exact, but at least I know where we're heading.
【1】How did the author feel at the sight of Gabriel's tooth gap?
A.Angry. B.Anxious. C.Helpless. D.Disappointed.
【2】When did Gabriel probably lose his tooth?
A.After school. B.In class.
C.While falling down the stairs. D.While having lunch.
【3】What can we know from paragraph 3?
A.Gabriel received 20 shiny coins.
B.The couple made fun of Gabriel.
C.The writer accepted Gabriel's growth.
D.The fairy visited Gabriel on Friday night.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Missing Tooth B.Focus Less on Loss
C.A Letter to the Tooth Fairy D.Cash in on Teeth

A Japanese company has created a "smart“ mask (口 罩)that aims to improve communication for people wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The use of face masks has become the new common practice in parts of the world still struggling to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. However, masks and other kinds of coverings can affect the quality of communication between wearers. The wearable electronic device (设备) called the "c — mask“ is meant to fit over other kinds of face masks commonly worn by the public. It's designed to better the exchange of conversation in such conditions.
The c — mask with a built-in microphone has holes in the front to let air in. When turned on, the mask uses Bluetooth technology to connect to a mobile device. An app then helps users do several actions, including turning speech into text, completing telephone calls and making the user's voice louder. The device can also translate a person's voice from Japanese into eight other languages.
Taisuke Ono, head of Donut Robotics, said the company was able to collect money to develop the smart mask through an activity on the Japanese crowdfunding (众筹)service Fundinno. He noted that the effort got $265,000 in just the first 37 minutes. It would usually take three or four months to collect that kind of money.
The company produced a working model of the mask within a month. Ono said the company plans to ship its first 5,000 c — masks to buyers in Japan. He is also looking to sell the devices in China, the United States and Europe and says he has received strong interest in the product.
【1】Why does the Japanese company develop the c — mask?
A.To increase their sales at home and abroad.
B.To help mask wearers communicate better.
C.To prevent the wide spread of the coronavirus.
D.To raise more money for the mask production.
【2】What can we learn about the c — mask according to the text?
A.It can deal with all the languages in the world.
B.It should be worn inside the common face mask.
C.It is connected to a mobile device through an app.
D.It has got great public support through Fundinno.
【3】What is Taisuke Ono's attitude towards the future of the c — mask?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Worried.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A brochure.
C.A magazine. D.A novel.

As part of the self-esteem (自尊心)movement in the 1970s, parents were often told to give their children positive feedback along the lines of "Great job" or "You're so smart." But, as some leading researchers put it, praise also has a dark side.
This is because praising the result ("It's beautiful!") or the person ("You're so smart!”) encourages the child to focus on those things. She might feel anxious about her behaviour. He might question the conditionality (条件性)of your love. He might become more inspired by a parent's pleasure than by the process that led to it.
One of the guides is to praise the process, not the person. To test this, Dr. Dweck and her team praised two groups of children in different ways-one on their efforts, the other on their selves, and researched what happened. It turned out that children praised on their efforts became more confident and felt encouraged to try new things. Even if they failed at first, they were able to work through the solution by applying themselves.
We communicate our values through praise. One of those values is autonomy (自主性),so it's helpful to praise what your children have control over. This helps keep expectations possible to achieve, and also encourages them to continue doing the activity.
Besides, guard against overpraise. It can lead to “praise addiction;' in which a child acts on purpose to earn praise. There's another risk, too — children can sense when praise is not genuine, because even a little child can sense what is real. So instead of saying "You're the smartest boy in the world!”, consider simply describing what you observed your child doing: "Wow! You dug a big hole in the sandbox with your truck!" This puts more stress on the behavior without setting an impossibly high standard.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The behaviour of children praised for the result.
B.The reasons for praising the result or the person.
C.The advice on how to praise children in the right way.
D.The disadvantages of praising the result or the person.
【2】Dr. Dweck and her team carried out the research by _______
A.listing some data B.trying out some guides
C.making a contrast D.talking with the parents
【3】What does the underlined word "genuine" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Specific. B.True.
C.Professional. D.Awkward.
【4】What does the text recommend parents do?
A.Assess children with too high a standard.
B.Praise the outcome rather than the process.
C.Give children nothing but positive feedback.
D.Praise what children can complete in their power.

How to Keep Calm Under Pressure
Exam pressure, job interviews and public speeches can all make you feel rather nervous-your heart’s racing, your voice sounds strange and your mind goes empty. 【1】 Here are three easy and effective tips that can help you keep calm.
【2】 Take a deep breath through your nose for five seconds, hold it for a second, then push all the air out through your nose, slowly, counting to five. Repeat a few times and you'll feel calmer. By breathing deeply and slowly, you can change the message your brain's receiving from “danger” to “all is well”.
Second, try humming (哼曲子). 【3】 Studies in how we control heart rate have shown that humming can affect one of the most important parts of the body: the vagus nerve (交感神 经), which is like a superhighway of communication, connecting the brain to the heart, lungs and stomach, voice box, ears, and so on. So the next time you feel your heart racing, sing a song or just hum a note.
The final tip is to focus. When you are busy, you wish to do several things at the same time, but if you want to stay calm and actually get things done, don't. 【4】 When you do two things at once, it has to change between them very rapidly and floods your body with stress hormones (荷尔蒙). So break your task down into small parts or steps, circle the one thing you need to do next and forget about the other tasks until their time comes. 【5】
A.Why are you so nervous?
B.What can you do to help?
C.It will make things worse.
D.Only a single note or a song will do.
E.First, slow your breathing way down.
F.This method is used by sports coaches to help athletes focus.
G.Studies show that your brain can only do one thing at a time.

阅读下面材料,割据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
