He has enrolled in piano lessons and is required to take an exam to complete the co
13、urse, for which I have already paid. Since he started high school, he has put in a lot of effort at school, but he doesnt want to dedicate much time to his music lessons because his schedule is filled with his school homework. I want to respect his decision, but I also think he should be responsible
14、 for finishing what he started. Should I compromise (妥协) when he tells me he wants to give up? Id really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Thanks!LindaExpert Tori CordianoIts good for your son to work so hard at the start of high school! The transition (过渡) from middle school to high s
15、chool typically brings teens more homework in harder classes and increases expectations about managing their workload more independently. It requires teens to take a hard look at their schedules and out-class activities to decide what feels reasonable to stick to while also doing their best at schoo
16、l. It is a more important part of adolescence (青春期) to help your son realize what he needs for his own well-being than concern which activities he sticks with and which he drops. If you decide that your son does need to finish the course, a good communication about how to ease his amount of work in
17、other places may be in order. For example, if your son spends a long time on schoolwork and spends his free time on the piano, you may decide to give him a break from other tasks temporarily (临时地), while he sees his lessons through to the exam.You raise a concern many parents have about compromising
18、 when your son tells you he wants to quit. However, that doesnt sound like what is happening here. Unless he often stops and starts many activities and fails to keep at them, you might instead look at this situation as your son advocating for the time and space he needs to take good care of himself
19、and meet his own high academic expectations. Thats exactly the kind of exploration and self-knowledge we want adolescents to develop.24Why did Linda write to Your Teen?AHer son spends much time on the piano.BHer son isnt responsible for his own decision.CHer son desires to dedicate much to homework.
20、DHer son wants to quit the piano lessons she has bought.25According to Cordiano, what should senior one students think about seriously?ADoing more homework in harder lessons.BLearning harder lessons more independently.CBalancing their out-class activities and studies.DHaving a reasonable expectation
21、 of their studies.26What does Cordiano advise Linda to do?AAsk her son to finish his lessons.BTell her son to develop self-knowledge.CFree her son from too many activities temporarily.DCompromise to his son about giving up music lessons.27What can we learn from Cordianos answer in the last paragraph
22、?ALindas son is used to giving up halfway.BLinda should view his sons decision positively.CLindas son fails to make full use of his time and energy.DLindas son can take good care of himself while studying hard.Although I love watching Olympic diving, Ive never understood why athletes hurry off to th
23、e showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive. Theyre already wet. Theyre only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so its not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesnt taking a shower serve the same purpose as sitting in a hot tub?Actually, thats what Olympic divers us
24、ually do between dives as they know very well about the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs. So, whats the actual reason?As it turns out, showers and hot tubs are used pretty interchangeably by the swimming pool. However, there is a need for both. First, lets start with why divers need to take a s
25、hower between dives. It has to do with body temperature and keeping their muscles relaxed. As you can imagine, practicing dives in the pool, then having to keep your body warm in a shower, and then jumping off a 10-meter platform and into cold water couldnt be comfortable for anyone. Going back and
26、forth between these warm and cool temperatures can cause a divers muscles to tense or cramp up (痉挛), which can lead to injuries to the muscles. Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.In that way, showers and hot tubs serve the same purpose. A hot tub is generally used if you have
27、 a bit more time between dives and have already stretched. The shower walls on the pool deck can typically provide enough space for more divers at the same time, and theyre especially helpful for athletes who need to stretch or who only have a few minutes between dives. Just like Olympic swimmers de
28、pend on thick clothes to keep their muscles warm, Olympic divers rely on these methods to stay loose. If you ask me, its not a bad way to pass the time!28What does the underlined word “proceed” in Paragraph 1 mean?APrefer.BContinue.CTend.DStop.29Why do the athletes need showers after diving?ATo full
29、y clean their body.BTo rest and wait for the results.CTo avoid possible muscle injuries.DTo stop themselves from catching a cold.30What does the last paragraph suggest?AHot tubs are as important as showers for divers.BOlympic swimmers need to stay warm using hot tubs.CHot tubs are often used by dive
30、rs having little time between divers.DThe shower walls are designed for divers who have already stretched.31What is the authors purpose in writing this text?ATo provide some diving advice for us.BTo compare cold showers with the hot bath.CTo explain the difference between warm-ups and cool-downs.DTo
31、 tell us why divers take a shower and sit in a hot tub after diving.Parents once shouted, “Dont get dirty!”, as they angrily watched their children spoil their best clothes, their whites turning into brown before the day was over.Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to
32、 pick up a bit of dirt. With the rise of urbanism (城市化), and exciting video games and social media, contact with nature is much rarer than in the past. For many, there is simply no chance to get muddy (沾满泥的). According to recent research, the dirt outside is teaming with friendly microorganisms that
33、 can train the immune system and build resistance (抵抗力) to many illnesses, including allergies, asthma and even depression and anxiety.These findings show that outdoor exercise is not only beneficial because of the chance to wander free but that certain natural materials, such as soil and mud, also
34、contain surprisingly powerful microorganisms whose positive impact on childrens health we are only beginning to fully understand. Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of playing mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interac
35、t.Such activities away from the house or classroom may also help children to find ways to deal with emotions that may be hard to explore in other environments. So-called “sand tray therapy”, which involves using sand and small statues to express ones thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of gui
36、dance for children who are struggling to express their emotional state.Clearly, people who spent most their childhood in the countryside tend to show a better response to stressful events like public speaking compared with those who had grown up in cities. “The people who grew up in cities are kind
37、of walking time bombs when facing the stress we meet today. However, people since childhood who spent lots of time in nature are generally more positive.” says Christopher Lowry, a professor of integrative physiology.32How does the author introduce the topic?ABy providing a research.BBy giving a def
38、inition.CBy making a comparison.DBy answering a question.33Which of the following is NOT the benefit of outdoor exercise?AImproving the immune system.BExpressing emotions in proper ways.CGaining valuable learning experiences.DTeaming with friendly microorganisms.34Why are some people “walking time b
39、ombs”?ABecause they are harmful to the public.BBecause they are good at public speaking.CBecause they are more easily hurt by stress.DBecause they always stay positive and energetic.35What message does the passage mainly convey?AGetting dirty?Muddy puddles are actually good.BOutdoor activities are f

41、now, then listen up! 37 Clearly, regular exercise will make your body stronger by contributing to the development of your muscles, bones and lungs. It can help improve your bodys immune system, making you better prepared to fight off diseases. Sport also has hidden health benefits such as lowering t
42、he chance of cancer later in life.Sport teaches teamwork and problem-solving skills. Fighting for a common goal with a group of players and coaches teaches you how to build teamwork and effectively communicate to solve problems. 38 Sport improves self-confidence. 39 Achieving a sport goal encourages
43、 you to achieve other goals you set. This is an exciting learning process. Moreover, sport builds character and encourages you to keep a positive attitude to life.Sport reduces pressure and stress. 40 You can also make new friends who can be there for you as a support system.

He was seldom noticed until he met Miss White, a young kind teacher.“You all did pretty well,” she told the 41 as she went over the test results, “except one boy, and it breaks my
