AFour students are talking about what they want to change about themselves most in the class meeting.Student A—What I want to change about myself most is my pessimistic attitude（悲观的态度）toward life.

I hope I coud be optimistic （乐观）!Student B—I want to change my bad temper（脾气）the most. I often get angry and hurt the people I love.

It takes hard work from generation（一代人）to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said long time of climate change can do that.Tuvalu（图瓦卢）is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12,000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels. Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide（高潮）. By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater. So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries.To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse（元宇宙）. The digital （数字化的）country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records. No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have the identity（身份）and “live” in its online coummunities. The government hopes to manage and serve them online.This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution. “Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform. Now the metaverse is not mature（成熟的）, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now.5.What problem does Tuvalu face now?A.a smaller populationB.rising sea levelsC.climate changesD.less living space6.To solve the problem, Tuvalu plans to _________.A.move its people to other countriesB.set up its online communitiesC.build an underwater countryD.deal with the climate problem7.What is Li Zuxi’s opinion about the news from Tuvalu?A.The future of Tuvalu’s solution is bright.B.The metaverse platform where Tuvalu will be built on is perfect.C.Saving the real world is more important than planning for the future.D.He calls for more countries to build their digital nations.8.In Which part of the magazine can we read the text?A.TravelB. TechnologyC.CultureD.ArtC①As the days get colder, the flu season comes. The sneezes（喷嚏）from people who have a cold sometimes smell unpleasant. Where does the smell come from?①In fact, the thing we sneeze out is mostly our saliva（口水）. Saliva is 99.5 percent water and 0.5 percent other things like protein and minerals. When some bacteria（细菌）come into your mouth, they break down some protein in your saliva. This process sometimes produces gases like VSCs （挥发性硫化物）—a group of unpleasant gases. Narmally, they stay in the saliva. But when we sneeze out saliva, the water evaporates quickly in tehe air, letting out the gases and settin free bad smells.①Moreover, when we sneeze, it’s not only saliva that comes out but also some things in the nose and throat. For those who have a cold, there are probably snot and sputun filled with bacteria in their noses and throats. Pushed by the air pressure from sneezing, they may get out together with saliva, providing a mix of different bad smells. That’s why you can smell more unpleasant sneezes in the classroomduring the flu season.①Researchers have found that different smells of sneezes have different causes. Diabetes（糖尿病）might lead to sweet-smelling sneezes. And teech illnesses are likely to cause sour smells. Serious diseases that include liver（肝）and kidney（肾）problems may cause sneezes to smell really bad, like a toilet.①Does this worry you? A smelly sneeze every now and then is common. But if your sneezes smell bad for a long time, it’s time to go to a doctor.9.The sneezes from people who have a cold sometimes smell unpleasant because________.A.they sneeze out more salivaB.more protein is contained in their salivaC.there are bacteria in their mouthD.gases like VSCs produced in their mouth smell bad10.What does the unlined word “they” refer to in the third paragraph?A.The sneezes people sneeze outB.Snot and sputum with bacteriaC.The VSCs freed out in the airD.The saliva that comes out of the mouth11.The following are the matches of sneeze smell and its disease EXCEPT________.A.sweet-smelling sneeze—diabetesB.sour sneeze—teeth illnessC.smelly sneeze—nose infectionsD.soilet-smelling sneeze—stomach problem12.What is the structure of the text?A.①|①①①|①B.①①①①|①C.①|①①①①D.①|①|①①|①DHave you bought anything that you can’t touch or see? Nowadays, virtual products have become a rising trend（潮流）on Taobao.On June 9, the topic of “Have you bought virtual mosquitoes（蚊子）for your friends” started a discussion on Weibo. If you buy virtual mosquitoes for your friends, someone will add your friend on WeChat and buzz to them by word simply for fun.This is just one of the examples of virtual products. There is also a “virtual tree hole”. This means that you can pay for someone who listens to you to talk about your life. “Virtual supervision（监督）” is when you need someone to keep an eye on you if you can’t study or read carefully. The price is usually from 10 yuan to several hundred yuan, depending on different needs.Under the increasing pressure of working, studying and relationships, more people want to find ways to lower their stress and keep themselves happy. “Some secrets can’t be shared with family and friends. Talking to strangers is a better way for me,” Yu Xiaoyu, 30, who has bought a “virtual tree hole” said. “Also, strangers are more objective（客观的）to look at my problems.” It’s also less trouble for family and friends because they are also busy, Yu added.However, the experience isn’t always good. Y u met a “tree hole” that didn’t pay much attention to her problem. “It’s a matter of luck,” Yu said. “Sometimes you happen to talk to someone who are really patient and even professional. Sometimes you meet someone who ends upmaking you feel even worse.”Buying virtual products shows young people’s emotional（情感的）needs. However, there is also a risk that they may trust strangers more when they are down. It’s still important to think about how safe this vitual service is, especially when it asks for more money.13.What do people buy virtual mosquitoes for?A.They want to discuss with their friends through the virtual mosquitoes.B.They want the virtual mosquitoes to accompany their friends.C.They do that just for fun by buzzing to them.D.It is a trend and they do that just to follow the trend.14.What can we learn from Yu’s experience?A.You can always get what you want.B.Anyone can provide virtual services.C.Family and friends are more objective.D.Virtual products are not always satisfying.15.What might be the writer’s idea about virtual products?A.Virtual products will become a trend in the future.B.It’s necessary for more people to buy them to lower their stress.C.It’s worth buying them no matter how expensive they are.D.Each coin has two sides, so enjoy them but pay attention to them.16.What can be the best title for the text?A.People’s new needsB.Gifts that can’t be touched.C.Ways to relax.D.The popularity of virtual services第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
