After what Mrs. Brown experienced with Robs illness, she decided to devote part of her life to an organization called
9、 Be head Strong, which works to support families with a member suffering from brain cancer.Along with typical math and science, throughout the year, Mrs. Brown shared stories with us about people in Be Head Strong who had overcome some tough and unfair battles. Mrs. Brown never showed any sadness or
10、 confusion toward the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure. Whether news from Be Head Strong was good or bad, she always looked at the situation as an opportunity to improve and do more.My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my
11、money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact. One day was wondering what to do with it. I did not feel like any game or toy was worth the time I had spent saving. I thought abo

After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs. Brown the present. As she op
13、ened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob.

17、uce, reuse and recycle. It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, theres a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that
18、 showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustainable life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You cant lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small an
19、d comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “Theyre thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit reg
20、ardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.A water tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and th
21、e water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly frui
22、t and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.After working there for six months, Ni, who wasnt mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cu
23、p every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.8What does the-underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean?AIn a rush.BOn a regular basis.CWithout any reason.DAs a common practice.9What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab?ATo reduce food
24、waste.BTo promote healthy eating.CTo sell new kinds of fruit.DTo provide more affordable fruit,10What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors?AThe water pollution caused by plastics.BThe degradation of PHA straws.CThe interaction between two types of straws.DThe disappearance of normal pla
25、stic straws.11What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni?AShe avoids going to traditional markets.BShe has devoted less time to her hobbies.CShe has got rid of a few bad habits.DShe is leading a low carbon life now.Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar,
26、and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas,
27、 packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that p
28、eople ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavio
29、r could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods mo
30、re quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually soft er and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full tha
31、n fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies ma
32、y provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.12What kind of food do energy bars belong to?AHighly processed foods.BEspecially beneficial foodCRelatively high-cost foods.DFairly health-friendly foods.13What can we k
33、now about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3?AIt can often result in death.BIt makes people get less calories.CIt does harm to people potentially.DIt makes little difference to peoples health.14What is more likely to make people feel full?AFiber added to packaged foods.BFiber from fruit and

35、ocessed foods lead to a higher risk of deathStruggles are a natural part of life, and sometimes staying positive throughout these struggles can also be a struggle. Luckily, happiness comes from the inside, and its possible to change for the better. 16 , here are some ways to help you.Build the right
36、 mindset (观念).When you encounter failure in life, think about your favorite motto (座右铭). 17 . Or spend more time thinking about the positive aspects of your life and your brain will learn that its a priority (优先). Those things can make you feel positive and happy. Over time, you can train your mind
37、to think optimistically.Use positive self-talk.You spend all day with yourself, so how you talk to yourself is important! Talk to yourself the same way youd talk to your friends every day. 18 . For example, tell yourself, “I am a hard worker who can achieve success,” or “I always do my best.” When y
38、ou catch yourself saying something mean, switch (转换) it around to be positive.Change your approach to life.Having a purpose in life can help you find happiness, as well as stay positive and optimistic. If youre working toward your purpose, your successes have more meaning and your hardships wont see
39、m as difficult. You will encounter difficulties. Its easy to get tripped up (被绊倒) by them, but dont let them trap you in a mindset of defeat. 19 . 20 This will improve your mood and give you a more positive outlook (前景，展望) toward your life. Eat a nutritious (有营养的), balanced diet. Nourish your body w
40、ith the food that you eat so that you can live your best life. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, since this will boost your mood and reduce stress. For best results, you can choose an exercise that you really enjoy. Enough sleep is also important for your body, allowing it to repair itself.AFi

42、uccess二、完形填空I used to be the shyest person in the world. I hid behind my older sister, whenever I had to speak to a (n) 21 person-including the McDonalds cashier, or even a distant relative. 22 asked to speak in class, I could hardly 23 , much less speak. Even among the few friends I had, my high, t
43、imid (羞怯的) voice earned me jokes-about being a girl. Then in the seventh grade, my sister suggested I 24 voice lessons. After a little bit of 25 , I did-as long as it stayed a secret. I began a series of vocal (发声的) exercising. After exercising a lot, I finally gained 26 in my voice. A few months la
44、ter, I was asked to sing for some retired people. I thought I would do better than before 27 the voice lessons. I opened my mouth and -nothing. I couldnt remember the words of the song! My face turned hot. The 28 pianist whispered a prompt (提示), and I remembered just enough to keep singing. Then the
45、 thought 29 me: Ive embarrassed (尴尬) myself enough in front of this 30 . Theres really nothing else to lose. So in my second song, I just 31 and felt the energy of the song lift me. And I did much better. After that, I started singing to myself as 32 as I could in my own room. Thats something I woul
46、d never have done before. On a recent school trip, I was asked to sing again. It was 33 how much people liked my singing. One classmate 34 said that I should be in the schools talent show. I am not a shy person any more. 35 has made me more outgoing. Today, Im almost a loudmouth. I can meet people w
