My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,” said my parents. Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student. Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining(下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes! I could not believe it --- I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year: States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast. Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school. Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a Southside Tiger. 【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph? A.The writer always thought Southside High School was the best. B.The writer’s parents persuaded her into attending Southside High School. C.The writer has met many challenges since she attended high school. D.Life has become easier since the writer came to Southside High School. 【2】How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year? A.Excited. B.Worried. C.Curious. D.Uninterested. 【3】Why was the writer’s study worse and worse? A.She didn’t work hard enough. B.She didn’t ask others for help because of pride. C.She missed many important speeches. D.No one would like to help her. 【4】What important lesson has the writer learned at Southside High School? A.Students should face challenges bravely. B.Students should be careful in choosing school. C.Students should be proud of their school. D.Students should better learn about life. |

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation? UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”. Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest. “We didn’t take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future. 【1】What can we learn from Professor Simard’s words in paragraph 3? A.Trees depend on each other. B.Trees protect their own wealth. C.Trees compete for survival. D.Trees provide support for dying trees. 【2】Why are “Mother trees” extremely important? A.Because they know more about the complex “tree societies”. B.Because they seem more likely to be cut down by humans. C.Because they look the largest in size in the forest. D.Because they pass on nutrition to young trees. 【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A.How young trees survive. B.How “tree societies” work. C.How forestry industry develops. D.How trees grow old. 【4】What would be the best title for the passage? A.Old Trees Communicate Like Humans. B.Young Trees Are in Need of Protection. C.Trees Are More Fantastic Than You Think. D.Trees Contribute to Our Society. |

With COVID-19 outbreaks at different stages around the world, in many countries lockdowns (封城) are being carefully eased off while urging citizens to keep on practicing the social distancing rules. Singapore is trying a new way of carrying it out—a robot dog. The government has arranged Spot, a yellow and black robotic dog made by Boston Dynamics Company, at one local park. The same robot has ever been seen dancing to hit song “Uptown Funk” before. However, 2020 is an extremely difficult year and the company is trying to assist the national coronavirus-control effort. In turn, the job has been handed over to Spot. The four-legged robot dog patrols (巡查) the park and broadcasts a pre-recorded message to encourage visitors to observe safe distancing measures. As it walks around the park, the dog says in a female voice, “Let’s keep Singapore healthy. For your own safety and for those around you, please stand at least one meter apart. Thank you.” Spot is one of the world’s most advanced robots and unlike wheeled robots, it is capable of going pretty much anywhere a dog can go and can walk up to three miles per hour over different areas, making it ideal for operation in public parks and gardens. Furthermore, it is remotely controlled and has cameras with 360-degree vision and analytic tools to scan the surroundings and help officials estimate the number of people gathering in the park. For now, the project is currently set to run in a limited trial for two weeks at one park during off-peak (非高峰) hours. But if all goes well, authorities will consider expanding the program to improve enforcement (强制) of social distance throughout on Singapore. Spot is also being used in other ways during the public health crisis beyond just patrolling a park. The government says it’s also using Spot in another capacity—at a local isolation facility where the robot helps bring medicine to patients. 【1】What do we know about Spot in the passage? A.It’s a dog-like robot that can speak. B.It’s a robot that can sing a popular song. C.It’s a wheeled robot that can walk anywhere. D.It’s a robot newly invented during the pandemic (流行病). 【2】How does Spot carry out its duty in the park? A.It enforces people to follow the rules. B.It politely tells people to keep apart. C.It works day and night to patrol the park. D.It warns visitors against throwing trash anywhere. 【3】What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4? A.Some smart features of the robot. B.The robot dog’s basic equipment. C.The working condition of the robot. D.The experiment process of the project. 【4】What is the best title of the text? A.Spot, a Dog like Robot, Walks in the Park. B.A New Program is Expanding in Singapore. C.A Multi-skilled Robot Goes Beyond the Park. D.Singapore Leads the Top in Fighting COVID-19. |

We often concentrate on building relationships with others but we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the extremely important first step if we are to have good relationships with others. 【1】 Forgive yourself. You may have made mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. Maybe you are not perfect, but neither are we. 【2】 So do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness. Focus on your strengths. 【3】 You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else has. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them. Write your success stories. One reason why we may not like ourselves is that we are so focused on what we don’t have that we forget about what we have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things. 【4】 For example, if you have some good friends, that’s already an achievement. If you have a good family, that is also an achievement. Stop comparing yourself with others. You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others. 【5】 You don’t like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won’t like yourself if you know that you lie to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, that gives your mind a reason not to like yourself. That’s why it’s important to always be true to yourself. In whatever you do, be honest and follow your conscience. A.Always be true to yourself. B.Accept things you can’t change. C.It’s normal to make mistakes. D.Here are some tips to being friends of ourselves. E.Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. F.There are a lot of small but important achievements in our life. G.You might be disappointed with yourself on why you could make such mistakes. |
