The one who had been slapped got stuck in some thick sand and started drowning (溺水), but his friend saved him.? After that, he wrote on a stone, “Today my best friend savedmy life.”The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now, you write on a stone. Why?”The other friend replied, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness (原谅) can take it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must keep it in stone where no wind can ever blow it away.”It is easy to get upset at others, even our good friends, when they say or do things that hurt us.

As he left, he would always say, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”The woman felt irritated. “Not even a word of thanks,” she said angrily.This went on, day after day.Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to add poison (毒药) to the loaf!2 As she was doing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” she said. She immediately (立刻) threw the bread away and made another loaf.As usual, the tramp came and picked up the bread.That evening, there was a knock on the door. Amazingly (神奇的是), the woman’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mom, it’s a miracle (奇迹) that I made it back home!

He wanted to try something new.However, after hearing this, his boss asked him to help with one final job before he left the team. He asked him to build one final house.

COVID-19 could cut wildlife trade新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅Conservation experts are saying that the trade in wildlife could be greatly cut after the coronavirus pandemic has finished. They say that the virus probably started at a market selling wild animals in China. The virus came from either a bat or an animal called a pangolin. It then crossed over to infect humans. The conservation group Humane Society International said: "The consumption of wild animals which can carry diseases that can cross the species barrier poses a real threat to human health." The Wildlife Conservation Society called for a ban of animal markets that trade in wildlife. It said: "Not only will this help to prevent the spread of disease, it will address one of the major drivers of species extinction."A spokesman from the Zoological Society of London said animal markets could be "time bombs". He said the markets can provide perfect conditions for new viruses to start and grow. He added that if we treated animals like goods to buy and sell, we would be in trouble again in the future. Scientists say many new outbreaks of viruses start in animals. About 75 percent of new infectious diseases come from animals. Recent examples include SARS, MERS and Ebola. Infections from animals cause millions of illnesses and deaths worldwide every year. An expertsaid the world must act soon, because, "realistically, it's just a matter of time before the next zoonotic disease risk emerges".材料来源：https:///news/science-environmen生词表conservation （自然环境、文物）保护pandemic 大流行病pangolin 穿山甲consumption 消费species barrier 物种屏障poses a real threat 构成真正的威胁address 解决处理extinction 熄灭Zoological 动物的，动物学的infectious 传染的realistically 现实地zoonotic [医] 动物传染病的emerge 出现，浮现参考译文COVID-19可能会切断野生动物贸易保护专家说，在冠状病毒大流行结束后，野生动物贸易可能会大大减少。

However, when females enter the workplace, they may find things are still difficult. Of the 145 countries and regions surveyed in a WEF (世界经济论坛) report, 97 have more female students thanmale students in universities. But only four of those countries and regions have a majority (多数) of female leaders in the workplace. “Women tend to (往往会) be viewed on the basis of their performance, while men are often promoted (升职) for their potential (潜力),” The Washington Post wrote.Old thinking about men and women is still influencing women’s careers, according to Saadia Zahidi, a WEF official. For example, many people believe boys are better at science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). And even today, women make up only a third of the students in these fields worldwide. Girls and women need to master the skills and training that are needed for the jobs of tomorrow, especially in the STEM fields, said Zahidi.The gender gap (性别差距) in the workplace is not just about less pay for women. It’s also about women making sure their pay shows their value. Actress Sandra Bullock once said, “Once we start changing how we think about women, the pay gap will take care of itself.”( )1.

And dry garbage is the same as other waste.(C) _______(help) residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines.

Another source was wind power which was made in areas including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.A digital management platform was also started to help achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和) during the Asian Games. On the platform, digital technologies were used for managing carbon emissions (排放) from venues in the six cities where the Games were held. The technologies included data collection and emissions reduction (减排) and evaluation.Among all of the Games’ 56 competition venues, just 12 were newly built. The rest were existing facilities (设施) repaired as part of the organizers’ mission of sustainability (持续性).The Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium, the venue used for soccer events at the Games, was first built in 2019.During the venue’s renovation, its solar-film ceiling and spectator (观众) seating – both of which had been used for 14 years but remained in good condition – were kept after being scientifically assessed (评估). This helped to reduce building costs by nearly 8 million yuan.The race track of Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre’s velodrome (自行车赛场) was covered with 374 interchangeable components (部件) which can continue to use after the competition ended.Zhejiang also improved public entry to the venues and hosted sports events in them. During the one-year delay (推迟) of the Games due to the pandemic, the venues were put aside but still kept in use. Since May 2022, all of the available venues have received 10 million visits, allowing the public to experience the world-class facilities.These venues will continue to be used for sports and public fitness after the Games.

For the move, she had to make a 540-degree turn. In the end, she won the women’s taijiquan and taijijian all-round gold (女子太极拳太极剑全能金牌) at the sports event.Tong’s slow but strong actions with her sword (剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu’s beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. As a sport showing regional (区域的) culture, wushu was included in the Asian Games in 1990. Apart from wushu, many other special sports from different Asian areas were also seen at the sports event, making it a party of folk cultures. Kabaddi (卡巴迪) and sepak takraw (藤球) are two examples.Kabaddi (卡巴迪) is a folk sport from India and has a history of more than 4,000 years. As the athletic form (竞技版) of the game “eagle (老鹰) catching chickens”, kabaddi needs nothing but an area that is 13 meters long and 10 meters wide.Sepak takraw first became popular in Southeast Asia. It is similar to the traditional Chinese game of shuttlecock kicking (踢毽子). Players need to use their feet, head, knees and other parts of their body to move the ball. It is also called “kick volleyball”.Although the Asian Games don’t include as many countries as the Olympic Games, they have even more events, especially the ones born out of the Asian region. This makes it really unique.As Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the event’s opening ceremony (开幕式), “The 19th Asian Games have included many disciplines (项目) with distinctive (有特色的) Asian features. It provides a platform (舞台) to celebrate sports and culture, and showcases Asian culture that is inclusive (包容的), vibrant (充满活力的) and always keen (渴望的) to learn from others.”1.What gold medal did Tong Xin win at the Asian Games?A.

An internet user pays the seller some money to abuse the victim (受害者) through social media. However, this is not right or legal.To know more about this, Teens talked to Xing Junxia, a lawyer at the S&P Law Firm in Beijing.In life, we may say bad words to people we don’t like. If it gets serious, it becomes verbal abuse. “The act of verbal abuse violates (侵犯) the victim’s rights,” Xing said. “These words usually hurt the victim’s right to reputation (名誉权), which can lead to civil liability (民事责任).” The attacker (攻击者) should stop this right away. He or she should also formally (正式地) say sorry to the victim. This is to cut down the influence of the abuse.Xing pointed out that both the attacker and the payer should bear civil liability because they do it together.In more serious situations, the attacker will face administrative penalties (行政处罚). A man in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, who ran an online verbal abuse “service” and had abused 25 people, was recently caught. Although he knew it was illegal, he believed it was an easy way to make money. In the end, he was fined (处罚) 500 yuan and handed over all of the illegal money he had got.In the most serious situations, Xing said, verbal abuse can make the victim ill. The attacker should then face criminal liability (刑事责任). It means that he or she may spend time in prison (监狱), said Xing.1. If you are abused verbally, you can legally _____.A. ask the attacker for some moneyB. ask the attacker to stop and say sorryC. post the attacker’s acts onlineD. beat the attacker2. Who is at fault in the case of selling verbal abuse “service”?A. Only the attacker.B. Only the payer.C. Both the attacker and the payer.D. The attacker, the payer and the victim.3. The example in Paragraph 5 mainly shows us _____.A. that the payer won’t face a penaltyB. that the attacker is only fined in serious casesC. the reason for “selling” verbal abuseD. the result of running verbal abuse “service”4. What is the main idea of the story?A. Selling services online is illegal.B. Verbal abuse can hurt others physically.C. We should use laws to protect ourselves.D. Verbal abuse is law-breaking.D，阅读理解Do you know about Bee & Flower? It was once a well-known hair care brand in China. Many brands like this have “disappeared” because young people don’t know about them.But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it.In early September, anger over a Chinese makeup brand’s eyebrow pens (眉笔) lit up the internet. Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Shortly after, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost-effective (划算的).Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming (直播). What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s products. For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13.Many people can’t stop buying these products. Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow.However, livestreaming events should only be a start. How can brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of (利用) people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better.1.

There was a big activity for online shopping.B. It became a well-known hair care brand in China.C. The products of Chinese brands became more popular.D.

Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging.It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It was pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone responsible for feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin.Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious (焦虑的), angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Trees often hold valuable ecosystems (生态环境). Many small creatures live on the tree – and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees – just like how you hug a friend!1. Which of the following can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis”?A. People feel relaxed in parks.B. People like doing exercises.C. People love visiting historical sites.D. People like to live in cities.2. How might people feel with a lower hormone oxytocin?A. They might feel calm and happy.B. They might feel angry and sad.C. They might feel relaxed and scared.D. They might feel happy and sad.3. What is the right relationship between the hormone cortisol and our feelings?A. We feel sadder with a lower level of cortisol.B. We feel angrier with a lower level of cortisol.C. We feel more stressed with a higher level of cortisol.D. We feel much happier with a higher level of cortisol.4. What can we learn from the story?A. Hugs give people energy.B. The “biophilia hypothesis” is partly wrong.C. Tree-hugging is harmful to the environment.D. Hugging trees in the right way helps reduce stress.语法填空Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai received a very important award (奖项) – the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (终身成就金狮奖) at the 80th Venice Film Festival On Sept 2.

Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家)A Chinese teacher called Zhen Daqian from a high school in Beijing gave further explanation: Laozi tells us the top character is just like water. All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people don’t like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys (空旷的山谷). This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe. It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and strength as great virtues, but we should not forget what water has taught us.In dealing with people, we can act as water. Do our best to help others without trying to get fame or benefit. At the same time, stay modest (谦虚的). It’s unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others. Even if no one cares about you in a difficult situation, you need to stay calm. After all, water will not choose where to be, it just flows to where it is needed.We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water. In 2014, President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing. He said APEC members are brought together by the water of the Pacific Ocean and have a shared responsibility to make the Pacific an ocean of peace, friendship and cooperation (合作).1．Which of the following is not the quality of water?A．Low profiles.B．Bravery.C．Giving quietly.D．Never asking for anything in return2．What does the underlined word “disdain” mean?A．like B．hate C．enjoy D．admire3．What is the right way we should act as water in dealing with people?A．Staying proud.B．Helping others for fame and benefit.C．Staying excited in a difficult situation.D．Never talking about the favors you gave to others.4．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．We Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water.B．The water of the Pacific Ocean is very important.C．All the APEC members should cooperate well with each other.D．All the APEC members should keep the peace of the Pacific Ocean. 5．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?A．Laozi — A Famous Philosopher in ChinaB．Zhen Daqian—A Chinese TeacherC．Water — The Best VirtueD．Goodness — The Word and The World。

文章还介绍了开发一种安全疫苗所需要的时间，测试过程的重要性以及生产疫苗所需的费用等。

Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines（疫苗）to help protect people against the novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）. They are making progress, but it will be quite a while before any vaccines are ready.There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases. In Phase 1, a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects. Phase 2 still tests the vaccine’s safety, but it's mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work, If Phase 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Phase 3. During Phase 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works.Because of the serious and worldwide influence of the novel coronavirus, there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. Now drug companies are hoping to create working vaccines in 12 or 18 months.But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous. A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves.1. According to the passage, the scientists who are making vaccines are ____________.A. hard-working and carefulB. patient and easy-goingC. kind and curiousD. caring and brave2. How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way?A. Less than six years.B. More than ten years.C. Twelve to eighteen months.D. About seven years.3. What the meaning of the underlined word?A. 阶段B.方面C.实验D. 治疗4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. There are only three phases in testing vaccines.B. Working vaccines must be created in a short time.C. Vaccines have already been developed.D. Rushing too quickly in creating vaccines may bring more problems.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. Rush for a VaccineB. Fight against the DiseaseC. Protect People against the VirusD. Create Working Vaccines1—5 ADADA（2）长江保护法本文介绍了长江作为我国的母亲河，由于各种原因需要保护。

时文阅读训练——纽约公用电话的终结The end of New York's pay phonesThe end is coming for New York's public pay phones. New York City officials say workers are currently removing all public pay phones from the city's streets. Pay phones used to be everywhere in the city - on every street corner and in every park and public place. Engineers have started the removal work by taking away 30 pay phones from the Hell's Kitchen area of the city. In the coming months, the remaining phones will go. New York City spokesman Corey Johnson told the CNN news agency that: "The antiquated and outdated pay phone booths take up much needed sidewalk space. Removing these booths is a win for pedestrians who navigate these crowded blocks."Many New Yorkers probably won't even notice the phones are going. Most younger people have never used one. They may have to read the instructions to use a phone, and scramble for coins to feed it. Modern technology means the public phone is no longer needed. Over 95 percent of Americans have a mobile phone. Mr Corey said New Yorkers no longer want the phones. He said: "My office has received numerous community complaints from local residents about these antiquated pay phones, which present public safety and quality of lifeissues. Additionally, they take up sorely needed sidewalk space that could better serve people with disabilities and families with strollers."

In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu.Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by theChinese Academy of Social Sciences. These emotions (情绪) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (积极心理学). “Some stressful reactions (反应) can help us fight the virus,”Wang said. “We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example.” But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added.

We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的). Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,”Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.阅读短文，从每小题所给的选项中选择能回答问题的最佳选项。
