As soon as she arrived, she ran to the beach with her watercolors, brushes and paper.Fishermen were busy fishing. Seabirds were flying around. Just then a redhaired girl passed by. “Hello there！” said Kelly.“Hello，” said the girl, but she didn't stop. In fact, she seemed to walk faster. Kelly was unhappy. She thought it would be boring if she couldn't make any friends in the village.After a while, Kelly climbed up on the rocks and began to paint. She was painting a blue band (条纹) when she heard someone climbing up the rock behind her. She knew her parents were on the beach below. Who could this be? She turned her head to look. It was the redhaired girl!“Can I watch you painting？” asked the girl.Kelly was so surprised that she could hardly answer. But she said, “Of course! I'm not much of a painter, though.” The girl, Marie, then sat down beside Kelly.“I just couldn't keep away when I saw you painting！” she said. “I guess you painted the blue band for the sea. Maybe you could mix a lovely blue with green.”Kelly gave it a try and said, “You are so great！”“Are you going to stay long？” asked Marie.“Well, I think so，” answered Kelly. “We like it here and I think I've got a new friend now.”The two girls looked at each other.

Around 30 percent of the primary schoolstudents, 60 percent of the junior high students and 80 percentof the senior high students are nearsighted. Maybe this is because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic products.Parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having their children get eye massages(按摩), take medicine or even get surgery(手术). People who offer these services or products often promise that they can reduce(缓解) or even cure(治愈) myopia.However, you will no longer see advertisements like this. The government has made a notice to ban(禁止) this kind of advertisements. The notice bans businesses from using words like “recovery(恢复)” and “myopia cure” in their advertisements. The notice says that myopia cannot be completely cured with medical technology now. As a result, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.To reduce myopia among young people, the government made a new plan. The plan limits(限制) not only the time children play video games but also the production of new video games.Young people can prevent and control myopia by spending more time outside and less time in front of computers. People who have eyesight problems should go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.()9. What's the myopia rate of the junior high students according to the passage?A．30%. B．45%. C．60%.

What can we learn from the passage?A．We can believe the advertisements.B．Students shouldn't be allowed to play video games.C．The government and people are saving children's eyesight.D．Myopia can be cured with medical technology at present.DDong Yuhui got his new job as an online salesman (销售员) at East Buy in 2022.

In a few seconds, a list of jobs will appear on the screen. You can also type in the name of a company to learn about jobs there. Many websites list full-time and summer jobs.Job search websites can help you in other ways, too. They show you how to write a good resume（履历）and how to get ready for an interview（面试）.

Like fingerprints, no two people share the same handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about what kind of person you are. Try writing out a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Then see what your handwriting says about you.Size of your handwritingDid you know that the size of your handwriting can represent the level of your self-respect and self-awareness(自我意识)? Large handwriting may show that you’re easy to get along with and you want to be noticed by others. On the other hand, small handwriting may mean that you’re shy and careful, and always pay attention to details. Medium-sized handwriting shows that you can get used to a new environment easily.Spacing between wordsDo you leave a large space between your words when you write? According to a study, the distance between two words can show how close or how far you feel towards others. If you write with wide spacing between your words, it may mean that you enjoy your freedom. On the other hand, people leaving narrow spacing between words may like staying with others.Slant(倾斜) of the wordsDid you know that the slant in your handwriting can tell how you treat people and things around you? Slanting to the right means you welcome or accept new ideas easily. And you consider your friends and family are more important than anything else. While slanting to the left may show that you think deeply about your own thoughts, feelings or behaviors. And you like to work behind the scenes better. If you write without slanting at all, you may be practical.Although the handwriting analyses(分析) are not always true, we can read them for fun. What matters mostis you should write carefully.9AUnit 2一、选择填空1-5 DCBBD 6-10 CACAC 11-12 BC二、词汇1. influence2. harmony3. prefers4. heat5. warmth6. sadness7. relaxing8. strength三、完形填空1-5 ACCBB 6-10 CADAD四、阅读理解1-3 ABC五、阅读填表1.

I’d like to tell you something here.When my family moved here from our small village, we brought not only luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬)elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫)in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure(不高兴), My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the lady. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Y oung people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young, When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.Best wishes!Y ours,Mike( ).26.
