七选五强化训练李仕才（一）Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on.1 When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’comments on your test carefully.Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed. 2 Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. 3 Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals.4 . Review the situation to see what your choices are. There isa different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again. 5 .A. No pains, no gains.B. Don’t give up easilyC. Failure is unavoidableD. Remove your bad feelingsE. If it isn’t, do your best on something elseF. Actually it was because you were very lazyG. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.（二）Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. But making a good first impression isn’t as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.Look your best1 But you don’t need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself. Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation2 . Stand tallThe way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested. 3Speak upSpeak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you. If you don’t know what to say, ask questions. 4 When people are talking, pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next. And if you’re not sure what they mean, ask!Value peopleMost importantly, show people you care. Your concerns for them will be obvious if you smile and listen carefully.5 Don’t keep them waiting. Everyone you meet is important.So make eye contact, smile and greet them. They’ll appreciate it and others may be watching.A. And remember, you are important, tooB. Respect other people’s time, tooC. Most people enjoy talking about themselvesD. Then greet them with a firm handshakeE. One survey said blue and black are best for job interviewF. Obviously your appearance influences people’s impression of youG. Don’t forget little things like brushing your teeth（三）Good friendships improve all aspects of our life, reducing stress, providing comfort and joy, strengthening our health, and preventing loneliness. Friendship is a two-way street. Being a good friend to others brings them all of the above benefits. 1 However, your old friendships may simply change over time as interests and situations in your life change. So friendships take time to form and take even more time and effort to deepen. Here are steps that can help, you be a good friend and keep your friendships growing.1. Be the friend that you would like to have. 2 Be reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and willing to share yourself and your time.2. Invest (投入) in the friendship. 3 Find things you enjoy doing with your friend and devote the time to doing them, even when you’re busy or stressed.3. 4 Don’t be too dependent or needy. Don’t set too many expectations. Be sure not to abuse your friend’s generosity. Everyone is unique (唯一的). Everyone needs to be alone or spend time with other people as well.4. Be forgiving (宽恕的). 5 You should learn to forgive others. So when your friend does something wrong, don’t keep blaming them. Try to find a way to get over, the problem and move on. It will often deepen the friendship between you.A. Give your friend enough space.B. Sometimes things don’t go exactly as you expect.C. Treat your friends just as you want them to treat you.D. No friendship will develop without regular attention.E. No one is perfect and every friend will make mistakes.F. Good friends don’t require you to always agree with them.G. It also makes you feel needed and adds purpose to your life.（四）How to Be a Great Best FriendEveryone wants to be a great best friend but doesn't know how or where to start that perfect friendship. The following will help you.Be your own best friend first.1 If you can't respect yourself, then you can't respect others. Understand what values are important to you and stick to them. Seek out others who honor those values because you'll only end up hurting yourself and possibly others if those people don't have the same values as you.Trust each other.2 All you have to do really is make sure you can both trust each other. Don’t try to trick or use your friend to your advantage; you need to make them know they can trust you.Learn to listen. Nobody likes a best friend who just talks and talks, but never listens. If you're a chatterbox, try to develop good listening skills. Whenever your best friend says something, listen carefully and say something._3 If they ask for advice, listen carefully and give themthe best advice you can.Care for your best friend. If your best friend is upset, ask them what's wrong, They might not tell you straight away, but they should in the end.4 Understand that certain things are private, and trust that they'd be just as patient with you if you were in their shoes.Let your friend have other friends, too. If your best friend picks another friend over you, try to be friends with their friend too.5 Everyone is always looking for new friends.

To be a great best friend really doesn't take much.G. Take time out of your day to appreciate the funny things in life.（五）As we all know, it is very difficult to remember all the contents of a long passage. For that reason, it is wise to make notes of information that is necessary for the students when they read a passage. The result is a short of the passage, and it contains all aspects of the passage. 1I ask the students to follow these steps.●Familiarize with(通晓)the material. After students have read the passage or a section of it, they can start summarizing. 2●Select important information. I ask the students to go through each paragraph, sentence by sentence, asking themselves which information is necessary to the argument. They should point outcomplete sentences as much as possible. 3 Pay attention to these important points: author, title, reason why the passage was written, purpose, theme, key words, link words, all major aspects, explanations and author’s opinion.●Paraphrase(释义)the information. I ask the students to point out the information of the previous step in their own words. 4 They should try to shorten long and complex sentences into much shorter ones.● 5 Let students make sure that the connection between sentences is clear and reasonable and that each group of sentences smoothly fit in one paragraph.A. Adjust the length of the summaryB. Insert links(连接词)between sentences and paragraphs.C. A choice is to underline important sentences or phrases.D. In this way students can grasp the main ideas of the passage.E. But we know reading is a practice of long period and we must have a lot of practiceF. The length of the section read through depends on the structure and the complexity(复杂)of the passage.G. And writing down information in their own words forces them to completely understand what they are writing down.（六）Remembering names is an important social skill.1●Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. 2●Admit you don’t knowAdmitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. 3 What is it again?”●Use associationsLink each person yon meet with one thing out find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng---tall, black hair.”To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.●4When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.●Go earlyConsider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time.5 And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others---an automatic review for you.A. Remember a name at a time.B. Here are some ways to master it.C. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.D. That’s fewer names for you to remember.E. Most people will be pleased with your hard work.F. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.G.

高一英语七选五专题能力提升训练(附答案)With the rapid development of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____1____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____2____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____3____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____4____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____5____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example.

So e ven short, simple exercises are an important step to help you explore a language more deeply.Choose a word of the day. The idea of a word of the day as a language-learning exercise is a little out of date. It brings to mind the kind of person who would use a word in a sentence many times a day.____7____Collect and explore synonyms (近义词).When you’re learning a new language, it’s important to pay attention to those words having a similar meaning but used in different ways.____8____A good dictionary will give you some tips about the synonyms, but the best way to learn how to use similar words is to listen to other speakers and take note.____9____This exercise can work in either direction. If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’re using.____10____Actually write out these translations so as to check them against another translation.A．Translate what you see and hear around you.B．Find the reasons behind patterns you observe.C．There’s ano ther benefit that makes it important.D．You can adapt them in any way that works best for you.E．But focusing on just one word a day can really be very useful.F．And surely any text you see in your native language can be translated.G．For example, “big” and “vast” are synonyms, but you wouldn’t talk about a “vast dog.”If you’re a gamer who’s constantly glued to your phone, it could be time to ask for medical help. On June 18, 2018, the World Health Organization（WHO）officially listed “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition. ___11___“Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambling （赌博）from a psychological point of view,” Mark Griffiths, a professor from Nottingham Trent University in the UK, told the Associated Press（AP）. “Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score, while gamers use points.”___12___“People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spendshours in their room playing games is an addict, otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help,” Joan Harvey, a spokeswoman for the British Psychological Society, told AP.___13___ For example, a 21-year-old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong province went blind in one eye after playing the mobile game King of Glory for a whole day. “On days when I have no wor k, I usually get up at 6 am, eat breakfast and play until 4 pm,” she told the South China Morning Post.“Then I’ll eat something, have a nap（小睡）and play until 1 am.”Wu isn’t alone. According to a study published by China Youth Daily, about one in five y oung Chinese people play online video games for at least four to five hours per day. ___14___ In April, the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and games.Other countries have also taken action.___15___ Meanwhile, in Japan, some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play.A．This means it’s now on the same list as other mental illnesses.B．Thankfully, measures have been taken to deal with the problem.C．We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phones.D．In South Korea, children are forbidden to play video games after midnight.E．WHO’s main work is to im prove the mental health of individuals and society.F．But if you lose control over your gaming habits, you’ll face serious problems. G．However, it doesn’t matter if you play your favorite game now and then.Writing while traveling can be either professional or personal. Some people travel and write as part of their jobs, while others simply want to make the most out of their travel experience.___16___ Luckily, here are some tips for you to make writing while traveling a much easier process for yourself.___17___ For example, if you are waiting for a train, sitting on the plane, or waiting to meet people for lunch, work on your writing. You'll find that you'll have a lot of time while you' re traveling that you can take advantage of. ___18___ In an average day of traveling, you could possibly spend up to 60 minutes waiting for trains, buses, food, and other people.Journal every night before you go to bed. If you are writing to keep a diary of your destinations, writing things down in a journal every night is a good way to keep track of each individual day.___19___ Even if you're exhausted at the end of the day, force yourself to sit down for just 15 minutes and note all the emotions and excitement of the day you just had.Avoid spending too much time writing. Set a watch or a timer on your phone and do as much work as you can inside 1 to 3 hours. After that, take a break and enjoy your destination.

This is because our brains like observable evidence that our efforts are getting us closer to what we want and who we want to become. ___21___ So how do we keep motivated and continue fighting when it seems to make no progress?Keep a detailed daily record. Write down any and all observable changes, even if you feel like they are not worthy to be written down.

Actually, vaccines can work exactly the same in both children and adults. The vaccine will produce a near 100 percent immune response in children.____43____ So the same vaccination strategy has been adopted for all age groups in China.____44____A vaccine has to go through a strict procedure before being widely used in a specific age group.

Here are some tips to make us live happily.Don't avoid or ignore negativity.1 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down，a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that you haven't conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment and if these negative situations keep making an appearance，it's up to you to handle them.Take care of yourself and your needs.In order to live a powerful and meaningful life，you must love yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day，and this will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional state of mind. 2Mend what's broken or get rid of it.Determining what is worth your time and effort and what can be challenging.If situations are beyond repair，it's time to let go. Are there relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth the time？ 3 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may have be absent in the past.4Giving our time，energy，love and sometimes money is what life is about. 5 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that stuck with me forever，“donde come uno，comen dos.(where one can eat，two can eat.)”It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the end of the day，no matter what you have you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it. Don't hesitate.A．Give back.B．Be positive.C．Fix them and find peace.D．Do more of what makes you happy.E．Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.F．Everything we put out into the world comes back to us.G．In order to conquer and overcome，it must be acknowledged.七There are times when people come into your life，and you know at once that they are sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose，teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long-lost friend or even a real stranger.But 1 ，you know that at that very moment they will affect your life in some serious way.2 ．However，on reflection you realize that without getting over them you would have never realized your potential ability and strength.Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck. 3 ．Without these small tests，life would be like a smooth road to nowhere. The people affecting your life，and the successes and failures you experience，help to create who you are and who you become.Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact，they are probably the most important ones.If someone hurts you, forgive them， 4 ．5 ，for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before，and really listen. You should set your sights high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.Most importantly, if you love someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.A．when you look eyes into themB．because you are likely to get addicted to themC．Don't forget to embrace those unpleasant momentsD．Make every day count and appreciate every moment E．Illness，injury and love all occur to test the limits of your soul F．Sometimes things happening to you may seem challenging at first G．for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious八Ways to Get Your Kids into NatureBeing in nature for kids has tremendous health benefits.There are many ways you can incorporate nature into your children's lives，even if you live in the city.Inspire curiosity by being curious yourself. A parent's excitement can be spread to the children, and when you show respect for nature，your children follow suit. 1 ．“I don't know！Let's find out together.”is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. Be open to a mutual adventure and allow your curious inner child to come out while you explore nature with your children.2 ．If you have to carpool(拼车) in the morning，turn off the devices instead and encourage your children to look out of the window. The early morning fall skies are beautiful with color and migrating birds.After all，even views of nature from the car window are calming and beneficial.Stop thinking about nature time as leisure time. Time in nature is an essential investment in your children's health and well-being. If you view nature time as essential to good health，you will be more likely to engage in it. 3 ，nurturing creativity and wonder is part of your responsibility as parents.Look at the stars. Visit your local observatory，and then drive out of the city some morning or evening for your own stargazing(天体观察) with a blanket and telescope. Observing the stars offers a deeper and wider understanding of the universe. 4 ．Plant a small garden. 5 ．Bean and pea plants grow quickly and can be eaten when mature，so teach your children about food and the wonder of growth.A．Limit electronic devices while drivingB．Encourage questions you don't know the answers toC．If you want to raise your healthy，well-balanced children D．If you have the space, help your children plant a few vegetablesE．It will teach teamwork, pride in the community，and family togethernessF．If your child is interested, encourage him to get involved in the communityG．Allow yourself to think about it, and talk to your children about that wonder九Everyone complains. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world，you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain with out even realizing it，but rarely is it ever helpful. 1 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts.2When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone，stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.Make a list of things you are grateful for.You often complain about the things you don't have with out noticing those things you already have. Be grateful for what you have in your life because you are lucky simply for being yourselves. 3 Learn to adapt to the changes.There are many things you can't change. 4 Always find the positive side of each situation，regardless of however difficult the situation is.With parents' and friends'support，you can survive any life changes.Allow yourself to vent(发泄) your feelings every once in a while.Constantly ignoring negative thoughts could add up.If you are really going through a rough time，don't be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family member or see a therapist.Find what makes you happy.5 Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on the another job or career.

Paris,some people said.It had a big river,beautiful wide streets and important buildings.Then,in the 20th century,it was called Motor City because of the number of car factories there.Workers in the car factories had good jobs and they earned good money.1 Life was good.But at the beginning of the 21st century,Detroit became America’s poorest big city.2The city’s population fell for several reasons.One reason is that people moved to the suburbs (郊区) in the 1950s because new highways were built.Another reason is that in 1967 some violent events happened there and it became dangerous.3 Also the big car companies like General Motors and Chrysler had huge problems.And in 2008,the world financial crisis had a big effect on manycities,especially Detroit.Now,a lot of people in Detroit are poor.Half of the city’s families have less than 25,000 dollars a year.In 2013,it became the biggest bankrupt city in American history.4 It had some money to improve small things like lights in the streets so people felt safe.The police came quickly when there were problems.Old,empty buildings were pulled down.5 And there are new businesses too.The city gave 10,000 dollars to 30 new small

is important to advancing your career,unluckily,it’s not always enough.1 You have to do something else to stand out from the crowd.How do you make sure people will remember you?How do you make a lasting impression?The first one is your attitude.A cheerful,professional attitude stands out.2 People generally enjoy working with other people who are pleasant and encouraging,rather than complaining,rude and destructive.3 People pay more attention to what you do than what you say.What do you do especially well?Can you learn to do it even better?Try to be the go-to person whenever that skill is needed.There is nothing wrong with letting people know you’ve achieved something significant(重大的),as long as you’re careful not to be annoying.Achievement stands out and drives career advancement.Thinking creatively also can help you stand out.Ask clever and useful questions.Ask questions that no one else is asking.It is often not the answers you provide that make an impression,but

about you.Be memorable,talented and creative.Let what’s different about you be obvious.Work on developing that “specialness” and you will get noticed.A.Results speak very loudly.B.Don’t be afraid to

run entirely by volunteers.1,a firefighter must go through strict physical and academic training to ensure a strong knowledge of fire safety and the physical strength to handle the tasks required by members of a fire department.Joining a fire department requires that both physical and written tests are passed with scores showing a thorough knowledge of fire safety.2.The first step in joining a fire department as a paid firefighter is to submit an application as well as acquire the appropriate ually firefighters must have a high school diploma,and some complete two-or-four-year programs in fire science at community colleges and universities.3,and if a candidate already has connections at a fire department,he may apply for a position straight out of high school.Once a candidate applies and is accepted for training at a fire department,he must then complete several weeks of training at the department’s training center.4.When this is done,the candidate is sent to a fire company for a period of probation (实习).He has to continue training in the new position while being directed by experienced firefighters.5.An application must be submitted to the volunteer fire department,then if the application is accepted,the candidate will take a training program and then be required to pass a physical and written test.Firefighters must also become certified (认证) as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).The level of EMT certification is determined by the individual departments.A.Although it is demandingB.Whichever type is desiredC.However,an academic program is not requiredD.For volunteer firefighters the procedure is similarE.But joining a volunteer fire department is totally differentF.Training consists of classroom work and practical trainingG.Also,a candidate must be able to respond quickly in emergencies第四组AThe history of writing instruments,with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings,is the history of civilization itself.This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.The handy sharpened-stone was adapted into the first writing instrument.Around 24,000 BC,the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of his cave.1 Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.Before paper came along,people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones.Around 6000 years ago,the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus.The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”.2 Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched.So the Egyptians created a reed-pen perfect for the papyrus.3 And thus,ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of a fountain pen.Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen.Introduced around 700 AD,the quill was a pen made from a bird feather.Goose feathers were most common.4 For making fine line drawings,crow feathers were the best.When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence,man’s inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument.5A.Now something was needed to write upon the papyrus.B.The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.C.Swan feathers were of a high quality,being rare and most expensive.D.Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.E.These were mostly the stems of grasses,especially from the bamboo plant.F.This led to the development of the modern fountain pen in the 19th century.G.These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.BThe first Thursday in May is World Password Day,but don’t buy a cake or send puter chip maker Intel created the event as an annual reminder.1.The purpose of a password is to limit access to information.Having a very common or simple one like “abcdef” or even normal words like “password”,is barely any security at all.2.Hackers’ password cracking tools take advantage of this lack of creativity and get in our accounts easily.More experienced users would choose a less common password.However,they might still fall victim to cracking software.3?A secure password is all that stands between us and a cyber criminal.It should be unique and complex,which a hacker can’t easily guess or crack.The best passwords are supposed to be at least 15 characters long and full of random numbers and letters.However,a long password means a complicated process to log into a website.4.You may want to write it down,but it is not suggested due to risk.Then what should we do?5.You can choose a phrase such as “I want to go to England.”Next,convert it to an abbreviation (缩略语) by using the first letters of each word and changing the word “to” to “2”.Then you get the following password phrase:iw2g2e.You can make it even more complex by adding punctuation,spaces or symbols:%iw_2g2e!@.It is much easier to remember and safer.Can’t wait to try?Let’s say goodbye to “666666” and change your password right now.A.What do network security experts doB.Try using shortened phrases for passwordsC.How can we ensure the safety of a passwordD.Changing password regularly is an effective wayE.That is like closing a door but not actually locking itF.It is used to say farewell to popular passwords like “123456”G.And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password第五组AI am a Korean-American growing up in South Korea.My delayed first day at Wheaton College was my first time in the U.S.in more than 10 years.From my first time eating at Chipotle to the endless variety of Scotch tapes on display at Target,culture shock affected me deeply.I was flooded with the rush of Starbucks caffeine (咖啡因).1On that first day to-do list was a job interview for a worker position.The interviewer asked where I was from.Seoul.2 English literature.He said,“Oh,you must be enthusiastic about coming all the way here to study English from South Korea!”That comment annoyed me,in a way I couldn’t describe then.It’s clearer now:3 The interviewer was measuring my passion without knowing anything about me,only based on where I was coming from.That interview was a small example of what came after that first day of college,but I hesitate to tell the story because some people who made ridiculously ignorant(无知的) comments ended up being my good friends.This wasn’t easy. 4 Through them,I learned to express my feelings clearly in words.To them,I owe this story.We get to know some people and others we don’t.We make decisions to involve in conversations or not.5 Otherwise,I would have stayed in my bubble,meeting only people who say things that sound right.A.People think differently from me.B.It taught me disagreements are unnecessary.C.It took a lot of listening,patience and effort.D.The comment was focused on my upbringing.E.He then asked what I would be studying here.F.I was excited and terrified but tried to act bravely.G.In a way,I’m thankful that I had to take those extra steps from the first day.BAdvice for High School StudentsAs a person who is graduating from high school very soon,I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students.1 I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.2 Do not value first impression highly.Don’t dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression.You will miss many opportunities because of that.Althoughsomething seems bad at the first impression,it does not mean it is bad all the time.Try to give everything a fair chance.Don’t try to please everybody.There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you.3 It is a huge waste of time.Have respect for authority.No matter how much you may dislike them,just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs.4 Don’t argue with them and just obey them.Realize a high school is not the real world.The real world isn’t a closed environment.5 What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world.If high school isn’t working out for you,you may find yourself better at handling the real world.A.Do not be too quick to judge.B.So just learn to say the word “No” a lot.C.Listen to their advice and consider it carefully.D.Many of these are based on regrets that I have.E.Bad habits are hard to break and remain with you for a long time.F.Don’t spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.G.It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions.参考答案第一组A1．选B分析本空所在的位置可知，本空是对全文的总结。

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1. The main idea of the passage is about ____.A. the Queen’s favorite foodB. the Queen’s tours abroadC. how the Queen keeps her diet during her toursD. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader2. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food3. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.A. she has to meet with so many important leadersB. she has to eat much oily foodC. she has so many reporters to travel with herD. hosts always present wonderful state banquets4. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinnersA. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D. Eating much without being noticed.【答案与解析】1. C解析：文章谈到了食品以及女王的“tours”，但主旨是女王如何“keep her diet”。

For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose”, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.2 They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed”, chances are that he will never “pay through the nose”, or pay too much money for an object or service.It is always helpful when people “keep their nose out of other people's business”. They do not interfere(干涉). The opposite o f this is someone who “noses around” all the time. 3 He is considered “nosey”. Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone(旋转磨石)” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean” or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose”. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face”. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. 4 This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air”.5 They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose” or easily seen.A. This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters.B. In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacher.C. The nose also has a lot of other functions.D. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed”.E. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.F. He is interested in things that concern his work.G. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless.第五篇：Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __1____Mone y is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a p ain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 2 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.第六篇：Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 1 and you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…Why is identity theft becoming so common? 2 . And the wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime.

He may borrow money from the bank in your name第七篇：In many ways, Hamburger University is just like other schools. It has an 80-acre campus. It has classrooms and teachers and more than 275,000 graduates. 1 Instead, they are McDonald’s restaurant owners and workers learning how to do their jobs better.Hamburger University isn’t a business school. It’s a corporate university (企业大学). 2 As a result, the school teaches skills and methods that help improve efficiency in McDonald’s restaurants.Hamburger University is one of the world’s most famous corporate universities, but it is far from unique. 3 Companies operate corporate universities for many different reasons. Some improve the technical skills of employees. Others focus on training people in management. Still others help employees develop skills like learning to learn, creative thinking and problem solving.4 Their students often come from distant places and have full-time jobs. To make training possible for students, corporate universities have to use very flexible teaching methods. Some companies pay for their employees to attend specific classes at a local university. Others work with outside educators to develop courses for employees to take at their workplaces. Still others develop their own programs consisting of weekend and online courses.Corporate universities may never compete with traditional schools. But they have changed the way many see education. Training has always been difficult for busy employees. 5 Through them, continuing education is possible for many who, otherwise, wouldn’t have the chance to study.A. Corporate universities help by offering flexible programs.B. Corporate universities face a number of special problems.C. It exists to help the company McDonald’s meet its business goals.D.

I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was young child.1 People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. The relationship with them continued to grow as I grew and got older.2 She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’s plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlework. Placing her thimble on her finger she’s remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I bade farewell to a loving grandmother.3 We had just had tea together a couple of moths earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 4 They are what she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!5 Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened” to fluff. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!A. How quickly our lives can change!B. I refused to go to the small town later.C.I loved the small town they lived in.D. I was arranging some colorful pillows.E. How sad I was to be unable to see a loving grandmother.F. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.G. How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her!第九篇：Britain’s high streets are dying slowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. 1 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.2 It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recessi on(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.3 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 4 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 5 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A.

When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz（活力），it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 1Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is: “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see．4When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students written for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning（微调）. Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explored who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.第十二篇：How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，th is text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 a.m，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5 A．Try to avoid all sources of light.B．Keep the room as dark as possible.C．Make note of unusual circumstances.D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.第十三篇：Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report，some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”．1 Dr. Peter Meijer，a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands，has developed a new system called the vOICe．The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh，I see．” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world．A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera，stereo headphones and a notebook PC．The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds． 2The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images．Everything has its own unique sound． 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调)．And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on．What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object．Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt．4 Within two weeks，most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors．They are also able to identify certain situations，including whether the lights in a room are on or off．5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe，bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time．A．Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas．B．It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones．C．However, they are not learning to see with their eyes；they are learning to see with their ears．D．The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals．E．Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”，but not the information “carrier”．F．To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a nu mber of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe．G．Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk．第十四篇：What A Real Leader DoesIs a leader merely a manager ? What should we expect from our leaders ? 1Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction , and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children —— even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement.2 When we are occupied with our self-interest —— petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.With so many people trying to be leaders there days, how do we recognize a true leader ? To answer this question, we must step back and ask : 3A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.The differences between a leader and a boss : A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them. 4Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader ? Are you going to develop real leaders ? 5 Remember, a leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it.A．A leader provides a new perspective, inspiring us to abandon our narrow field of vision.B．This sense of urgency is just as important in a leader as a sense of vision.C．And do we really need leaders in the first place ?D．Are you going to inspire and generate enthusiasm ?E．We have a CEO who can direct thousands of employees toward a single objective, and politicians who inspire millions of citizens to support them.F．What is it that a leader is really trying to accomplish ?G．A boss knows how it is done, and a leader shows how it is done.第十五篇：What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1 ．Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者)．At least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference，as well as the effect that colors have on human beings． 2 ．If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．3 ．On the one hand，a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one；and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the coldest winter day．4 ．A black bridge over the Thames River, near London．used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．5 ．It is self-evident that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．A．On the other hand，black is depressing．B．The rooms are painted in different colors as you like．C．They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference．D．If you do，you must be an optimist(乐观主义者)，a leader or an active person who enjoys life．E．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.。

高考英语冲刺强化训练：七选五阅读AUntil the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. 1．______If you hit another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response. 2．Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.3．Some researchers argue lobsters (龙虾) are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous situations. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness. In result, today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods. 4．To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods.Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes (电击) a lobster. 5．The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.A．But huge disagreement exists.B．The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.C．It beats the former method by saving chefs’ effort in cleaning the creature.D．It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.E. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.F. Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor (味道) of the meat.G. Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method.BMovies have documented America for more than one hundred years. Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie-makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government. 6．By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history.Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. 7．Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started. The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. 8．These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The guide contains basic facts for “beginners”—professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.The guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. 9．Following the advice, the guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. 10．The guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.A．“Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions.B．They’ll be damaged within yea rs if not properly stored.C．These organizations are the first to save American movies.D．It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts.E. It introduces movie preservation to nonprofit and public institutions.F. They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed.G. They store the original movies and new ones under cool-and-dry conditions.CCan creativity be taught? That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring up the greatest chances for true creative expression. 11．, but more like something which manifests （显现）itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 12．. You’ll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.Learn how to be resourceful. 13．. Creativity is not just about creating something new but making old things work better as well. Think of crazy possibilities as well as practical ones. You might find inspiration for a workable solution in one of your ideas.Don’t listen to feedback and keep following your own path. T he problem of asking for feedback is that the feedback will be given according to the person’s past experience. Others will unconsciously push you in a direction that they see as best. 14．. Just don’t let criticism （even the constructing type）destroy your creativity during the creative process.15．. Routines are positive if they strengthen a healthy creative consciousness and negative if they destroy that. The key is to discover a creative routine that puts you in a more creative mindset.A．Creativity is not like a lightning strikeB．Having a routine is actually not a bad ideaC．You can literally do anything you like with themD．Resourcefulness is about making the most of what you have to work withE. The more limited your set of tools is, the more creative the output will beF. This is done with good intentions, but it actually hurts your natural creativityG. While breaking your routine once in a while to force new ways of thinking is goodDEvery minute，every single day，about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans．16．And to date，only 9％of that has been recycled．We buy a bottle of water，drink it for a few minutes，and toss its permanent packaging“away”．We eat potato chips，finish them，then throw their permanent packag ing“away”．We buy produce，take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap，then throw its permanent packaging“away”．The cycle is endless，and it happens countless times every single day．17．As far as we try to toss a piece of plastic—whether it’s in to a recycling bin or not——it does not disappear．Chances are，it ends up polluting our communities，oceans or waterways in some form．For years，we’ve been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through batter individual action．18．But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess．Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans；we have to get to the source of the problem and slow down the production of all this plastic waste．Think about it：if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on，your first step wouldn’t be to start mopping．You’d first cut the flooding off at its source—the tap．19．We need corporations—those like Coca-Cola，Unilever，Starbucks and Neatléthat continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles—to step up and take their responsibility for the mess they’ve created．20．．We will continue to do our part，but it’s time for the world’s largest corporations to do theirs．A．This is their problem to deal with．B．Plastic pollution is becoming very serious．C．But here is the problem—there is no“away”．D．In many ways，our plastic problem is no different．E．We think that if we simply recycle we’re doing our part．F．It’s impossible for us to get rid of plastic pollution completely．G．Since the 1950s，some 8．3bn tons of plastic have been produced worldwide．。

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine ． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce( 加强 ) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope． It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve ．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize ． People know they need help when they mess up.

高考英语外刊阅读模拟强化训练七选五专题一①Five Wellness Trends to Ditch in 2023In 2022, social media inspired many of the ways we tried to get and stay healthy---but not always for the better. Here are five wellness trends you'd be better off ditching in 2023- plus healthier alternatives.1. Weight-loss shotsOzempic and Wegovy, two injections that are used to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity, are hot commodities- even among people without those conditions. 1 . These drugs turn down appetite, leading to weight loss, but people who stop using them typically gain it back. Side effects can include pancreatitis, changes in vision, low blood sugar, and kidney and gallbladder problems. 2. Quiet quittingDoing the bare minimum at work, rather than going above and beyond, is a risky 2022 trend. While setting work-life boundaries is a good idea, quiet quitting normalizes staying stuck in a job that doesn't feel satisfying or suit you. That elevates the likelihood of burnout, stress, and anxiety. 2 . Really take the time to look into yourself and your skills, your talents, your passion, and think about whether there's a better match.3. 3TikTok users are bombarded with mental-health content, leading many to diagnose themselves with whatever condition resonates the most. Experts challenge TikTokers to double-check mental-health information with a credible source. Discuss their symptoms with a doctor or other mental-health provider.4. Overdoing melatonin(褪黑素)4 . That's worrisome for a variety of reasons, including a lack of data on the long-term safety of regular use. It's time for a shift in how we think about melatonin. A pill doesn't replace a lifestyle. Reserve melatonin for special occasions, like if you've traveled to a different time zone and need help adjusting to a new schedule.5. Body talkThe body-positivity movement aims to accept, appreciate, and celebrate all bodies, regardless of size or shape. In 2023, aim to practice body neutrality. 5 . Unfollow social media accounts that promote unhealthy body-image ideals. Instead of saying things like I love my body, shift to I accept my body as it is.【题源TIME 时代周刊(January 16-23, 2023)】A. Ban the usage of TikTokB. Diagnosing yourself on TikTokC. But they're not meant to be used without planningD. That means not attaching positive or negative feelings to your bodyE. Instead, think about what kind of job might be more energizingF. But at its core, body positivity still reinforces the notion that there's value in the way a person's body looksG. Americans are getting less sleep than they did before the pandemic, and melatonin use has steadily increased.②Smart swaps that’ll help you lose weight and feel greatEating better and losing weight are usually top of the list when it comes to new year resolutions.___1______. Nutritionist Amanda Hamilton believes there is an easier way to reboot your approach to food and health. She calls them smart swaps – everyday switches that are easy to fit into your life.SWAP: Heavy evening meal for protein-rich breakfastProtein leverage means front-loading your day with protein-rich foods that will help to quell hunger pangs later in the day. __2_____Incidentally, full fat dairy is linked to lower levels of obesity than low fat alternatives.Calcium intake, too, is important for women. So fill up on Greek yoghurt with a sprinkling of granola on top for breakfast.SWAP: Calorie counting for focus on fibreFibre isn’t a sexy subject, but getting enough of it is crucial to healthy bowel movements --- meaningless bloating, more energy and clearer skin. ____3____So try switching your mindset from counting calories to counting the amount of fibre you eat.___4______This is a simple but effective way to ensure what you eat is low calorie and packed full of nutrients. When you choose vegetables that are grown above ground, such as kale, broccoli, cauliflower and peppers, you reduce the starch（淀粉）content of your food. Potatoes and parsnips, grown underground, are high in starch, which translates to sugar when eaten.SWAP: Deprivation for enjoying your favouritesYou don’t need to cut out all your favourite drinks or snacks. It’s important to still enjoy them. Think to yourself, what’s the one thing you really don’t want to give up? It could even be wine or chocolate. ____5_____An all-or-nothing deprivation mindset doesn’t help, because when you have that inevitable slip from your super strict diet, you tend to think it’s all over and give up.【题源Daily Mirror 每日镜报(January 9, 2023)】A. SW AP: Grown underground for grown overgroundB.SW AP: Raw tomatoes for cooked tomatoesC. But while January is often the time people embark on restrictive diets, these can prove hard to stick toD. At the moment, the average UK adult consumes around half of the daily 30g recommended intake.E. Try switching your protein focus to the morning, having eggs or full fat yoghurt.F. If you have a glass of wine or two, having planned for it, you won’t feel like something has been taken away from you.G.From the get-go, keep having it, but plan it.③5 Ways To Be Healthy On A Budget1. Go to bed an hour earlier___1_____. So it’s obvious that going to bed earlier could save you money. Getting adequate sleep makes you less stressed and puts you in a better mood, as well as bolstering your immune system and helping to protect you from heart disease, diabetes and dementia.2. __2______There’s no need for an expensive gym membership or classes, or costly kit; the internet is a rich resource for videos on activities as varied as yoga, high intensity or low-impact workouts, Pilates or dance. If you want to get more fresh air, then opt for brisk walking or running or cycling. Being outdoors in nature is also good for your mental health.3. Turn the heating down a notchWe don’t want anyone to be living in a cold home, but many of us still keep our thermostat higher than necessary. A room that’s too hot can dry out sinuses and cause skin problems, dry eyes and dehydration, which can trigger headaches._____3____4. Ditch the car for short journeysFor local errands or meeting people, walk or cycle. This will save money on fuel, plus help prevent you from being too sedentary. ___4______5. Cut back on the booze____5_____Given that a bottle of wine adds £5 or more to your shopping bill, now would seem a good time to refocus on the recommended limits—14 units per week for both men and women. Have at least two alcohol-free days and try setting a weekly alcohol budget and not exceeding it. 【题源Reader’s Digest (November, 2022)】A. Get fit on the cheapB.Make smart food swapsC. Inactivity has been called the “silent killer” and linked with heart disease and strokes.D. 18°C is the ideal temperature for healthy, adequately dressed people.E. Soft drinks are often high in sugar or additives.F. Lighting and electronics account for around 30 percent of your electricity usageG. Repeated lockdowns led to many of us upping our alcohol intake.④Loneliness is an emotion. We probably all experience it at some point, but loneliness is very complex and unique to each of us.____1_____Being alone is a choice, whereas feeling lonely isn’tsomething we impose on ourselves. You want to be around people, ____2____Loneliness will become a problem when it becomes chronic and when you’re feeling lonely over a long period of time. It can turn into a mental and physical health problem. It can be a symptom or cause of depression. ___3____You might turn to food and not feel motivated to exercise, as chronic loneliness is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, obesity and even dementia.It will be easy to managing loneliness. Accept and acknowledge it. Loneliness is a valid feeling. Don’t brush it under the carpet, as that doesn’t help solve the problem. Seek joy in little things, like smelling a flower or a walk in nature. ____4_____When you decide to change things and seek a connection with others, consider a like-minded group._____5____The best approach is to sensitively ask how they are and what they’re doing, and listen to the answer in a non-judgemental way. If you want to invite them to do something with you, do it. If they say no, don’t be discouraged from asking again. They might need time before feeling ready to say yes.【题源Reader’s Digest (November, 2022)】A.How to become a specialist in loneliness?B. How can people help someone who is lonely?C. There’s a big difference between loneliness and solitude.D. It can affect self-esteem.E. but something is making you feel unwanted, empty or isolated.F.

专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829． 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth． 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent． 4 ．By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion．5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States．B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．D．However, he did not get much business for those products．E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it．专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago． 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．2 So they are called "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 3 However, a change in food is oneof the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A．Stone Age people lived a simple life.B．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C．In that case, they would live much healthier.D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or failAt least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.专项练习五1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods andservices, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth levelA fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A．Then a third level appeared.B．Human wants seem endless.C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G．Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结结巴巴）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you th ink, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion Why are you speaking Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.4 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet 5 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.专项练习七There is an English saying:“ 1._.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2. ___Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one’s life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.专项练习八Why do some people have many friends while others do not 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (主动性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all –white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown – eyed people were cleverer than blue – eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue –eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(怜悯) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore（忽视）others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.专项练习九The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter Here are two main ones.

强化训练一Clear and effective communication can help you get what you want and need. 1.________ To be an effective communicator, here are some tips for you.Listen to understand.When it comes to communication, listening is just as important as expressing yourself. Interpersonal communication is an exchange between two or more people. You can't focus on what you're going to say and don't pay any attention to what the other person is sharing. 2.________ Ask questions.Asking questions is another helpful habit you should practice for effective communication. The goal here is not to control the conversation or to quiz your listener. Rather, you should use questionsto better understand the person you're engaging with.Think before speaking.Words are powerful. 3.________ You should be able to speak your mind, but pause for a moment to consider how you can do that in the most effective, considerate way. Generally your initial reaction to the other person's words is fueled by emotions, instead of logic. A moment before speaking allows you to collect your thoughts so you don't say something you'll immediately regret.4．________Word choice is important, but be aware that it's just one element of effective communication. While you're speaking, so is your body. Your mouth might say one thing, but your facial expressions and body language might say something entirely different. The words you don't speak out account for 55% of how a speaker is perceived by your audience.Effective communication is the key to healthy, productive relationships at home and at work.5.________ By using the tips above, you can learn to be a better listener, to express yourself clearly, and to avoid misunderstandings.【原创】A．Be aware of nonverbal cues.B．It can be tempting to beat around the bush for difficult conversations.C．It's also essential for successful relationships with people around you.D．Speaking carelessly can have serious consequences.E．Only by listening can you understand the needs of your audience.F．Without it, it will be very difficult to establish meaningful connections with others.G．Be mindful of your word choice.[精读外刊积累语料]perceive v. 理解熟词生义1.exchange 熟义：n.交换生义：n.交流 2.fuel 熟义：n.燃料生义：v.加强；刺激句法解密[译文]通过使用以上方法，你可以学会成为一个更好的聆听者，更清楚地表达自己，并且避免误解。

Without other people, life became empty and sad. 56For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence(影响) People, written in 1936, is the most famous. 57 It was later put into 28 languages.Here is the list of advice from his book:58Always greet with a smile.

In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is o ften to blame for food waste. 3 Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.4 There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas.

You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 2Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them.

The three steps are: Get the factsWhy is it so important to get the facts Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 36 .When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 37 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.38Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about What can I do about it Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.Act on that decision.39 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 40 If you know a situation is beyond your power, say toyourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.”Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental att itude that will bring you peace and happiness.A. Accept what can’t be avoided.B. Analyze the facts.C. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.D. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.E. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.（一）DAFBE（二）CAEGD（三）EBACG（四）BEGFD（五）BDAEG（六）DGBEA。
