21、This July my husband and I decided to move both our kids, aged 14 and 10, from their previous schools to a new international school that’s located in our neighborhood. It wasn’t an easy decision. We knew switching schools would be a challenge for our kids.

Put two kids in the same situation and they react and feel differently. Nina, outgoing and talkative, has no problem making new friends and adjusting to (适应) the new school. It took her less than a week to say, “This school is great. I like it.” Everywhere she goes, she’s surrounded by friends. It took Michael months to say, “I guess this is fine.”Before that, he complained about everything. He’s sensitive and quite hard on himself.Words of encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.

To make our children comfortable before, during, and after the move, we included them in our plan from the beginning. They’re big enough to take part in decision­making activities.We researched, compared, and asked questions. We listed everything about their old schools and the new one, and we discussed every item.We were open with them from the start. Our kids knew what was going on and what was about to happen. They had time to prepare themselves. They trusted us.

Communicating with their new teachers was also important. For the first three months, we kept an eye on our children’s academic (学业的) performance and their social life. If we discovered a drop in their grades or any unusual behavior, we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers. We don’t aim to be helicopter parents, but it doesn’t mean we let them go completely. Balancing this role is hard — the older the kid, the harder it gets — but it’s not impossible. The key is to listen first, and act second.

【1】Why were the children probably moved into a new school?

A．The old school is not good enough.

B．They wanted to make more new friends.

C．The new school is conveniently located near their home.

D．The outgoing child can help the shy one in the same school.

【2】How did the parents help the children deal with switching schools?

A．By tolerating their behavior in school.

B．By choosing the best teachers for them.

C．By encouraging them to enjoy social life.

D．By having open communication with them.

【3】What might the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Parents who pay very close attention to their children.

B．Parents who send their children to school in person.

C．Parents who talk too much rather than take action.

D．Parents who listen to their children all the time.

22、The relationship between parents and a child is among the most important in a person’s life. Of all the people in the world, but parents are the only ones who are always there for us, no matter what happens.

But why, is it that some teenagers act like their parents are the biggest enemies? 【1】 Once the journey/independence begins, the parents are going to be less acceptable than they used to be.

【2】 As kids, we learn almost everything about the world from them. But once we reach our teenage years, we begin to feel like we don't need their help any more. And at the same time, everything from the clothes they wear to the way they speak makes us feel embarrassed.

However, it is our parents who brought us into the world. Naturally, they have been around a lot longer and they know many more things. 【3】 They just want to protect us from making the mistakes they have made.

Remember that any parents' wish for their children to be safe and do well. 【4】 Moreover, while it might seem like all our parents do is to annoy and criticize ns we should listen to their words. 【5】

A．After all, our parents are our greatest teachers in life.

B．So if our parents are always telling us what to do, there's a good reason for this.

C．But any advice they give us is meant to protect and guide us.

D．With this in mind, we should put ourselves in our parents' shoes.

E．This is because teenagers are just trying to find their own identity.

F．They reject their parents in an attempt to create their own unique world.

G．Indeed, we tend to think that we know better than our parents as we grow older.

23、School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions — not to mention getting up early every morning. It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week, but it’s also something you can totally improve! Follow the tips on this list to feel happier on school days. 【1】

Focus on the good things about school. A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood. 【2】If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself that you only have to be in school for a relatively short period of your life. After that, the sky is the limit!

【3】Making other people smile can improve your own happiness. Give another student some positive encouragement. Or, thank a teacher for a fun activity or an interesting lesson. If you see someone else that looks like they might be feeling down, tell them you like their hair style or praise the work they have done.

Try not to take negativity from others too hard. 【4】 Try to remember that nobody is perfect and think about what might be going on in their lives that makes them act negatively towards you. Try your best to sweep away a dirty look or a bad comment and move on with your day not getting angry and upset.

See a school counselor if you feel really unhappy. The job of your school counselor is to help make your experience better. Stop by their office and ask to talk if you can’t keep up with school work or if you feel like you’re being bullied by other students. School counselors have access to all kinds of resources to help you out.【5】

A．Smile more often.

B．Do something nice for someone.

C．Maybe you’ll even start looking forward to them!

D．If someone isn’t nice to you at school, it’s probably not your fault.

E．Whether in junior high or senior high, you may look for ways to make learning more enjoyable.

F．Think about the bigger picture and how your education will have a positive impact on your life in the long run.

G．For example, if you’re struggling in a particular subject, they can set you up with a teacher to help you improve.

24、   Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.

The men, Ross Harper and Edward Moyse, set up the website BuyMyFace.com last October as a way to get rid of the £50,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business by painting the brand’s name or logo onto their faces and upload the pictures to the homepage of BuyMyFace.com, adding a link to the advertiser’s website and including a short piece of text about it. After they paint their faces and publish them on the website, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure. They hope more people will pay attention to the advertisements on their faces.

At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they’re more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about £1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increases. For advertising space during the rest of April, they range between £250 and £750. Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said that she had heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and unusual and attract attention. People are interested in this particular style of advertisement and would like to try what they advertise. But she is unsure how long it would last.

At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. “We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said one of the companies.

【1】Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to ______.

A.offer their help B.make more friends

C.show their faces D.raise more money

【2】We can infer from the passage that the two young men ______.

A.get on well with their project B.work hard except on holidays

C.plan to open their own company D.may close their website in future

【3】Why does the men’s idea of advertising prove to work?

A.Because an expert has highly praised them.

B.Because people find it unique and appealing.

C.Because the products they advertise are reliable.

D.Because they receive great help from businesses.

25、In my childhood, there were no smart phones or computers. Still, I never felt bored. The field, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby _________ and walking slowly around it At the back of it, I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but _________ it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours, I was sure someone was _________ in my ears to ask me to turn around and _________ back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.

I continued to walk on with the fear growing inside of me. My heart was _________ and my legs were aching. When I __________ one last corner and __________ my house, I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away, but legs felt like feathers. I __________ into the house with a big smile just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.

I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead home.” This is true. I also remembered a sage (智者) compared life to a journey. Are we going to make this life a terrible __________ or are we going to make the life a joyful one? It __________ our own choice.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Two years ago, homeless Minnie was adopted by a single rich woman. Life did get a bit easier ever since she was taken in by her foster mom, but the little girl was still not happy. How she wished she could have a father!

One morning in class, Minnie’s teacher, Mr Thompson, made a surprising announcement, making Minnie frown (皱眉) again.

“Kids, tomorrow is Father’s Day! And at school, we’re all celebrating it by having breakfast with Dads! All of you get to bring your dads or anyone you look up to as your dad to school tomorrow. We’ll all sit in one circle, share funny stories, and have breakfast together.”

“What a terrible idea!” Minnie muttered (咕哝) under her breath.

For the rest of the day, most kids were talking up their fathers: businessmen, policemen, engineers, and even an actor. Everybody had somebody who was a father figure, except for Minnie.

After school, Mr Thompson spotted the sad little girl sitting alone by the school gate.

“Are you all right, Minnie?” Mr Thompson asked. Suddenly, the child hugged his legs and cried. Minnie told her trouble to her teacher and Mr Thompson comforted her.

After getting home that evening, Mr Thompson couldn’t shake off the sadness he had seen on Minnie’s face. Suddenly, he had an idea. He opened his laptop, and as the keys on the keyboard clattered, Mr Thompson began to smile.

He was putting out a post on social media, sharing Minnie’s story and asking for a dad to volunteer for Minnie and show up to school the next day as her father figure. Thirty minutes later, his phone buzzed.

And it buzzed again and again. By the time the teacher checked his phone, he was shocked to see the number flashing across the screen.

“50 volunteers? Am I reading this right?” Mr Thompson gasped. He put on his glasses and read through all the responses on his post. He was so surprised. These 50 volunteers all wanted to come and help Minnie.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The next day, Minnie went to school sadly, not knowing the surprise was waiting for her.
