I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum and meeting new friends. At first it was easy, but a month later, it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace(节奏) with the other players.
Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed as my
teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I didn’t care about doing it right.
“Are you giving up on me,Steve?” Angie asked.
“Yes, I am,” I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room and I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t cry. I believe you can make it!” She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right — by giving up myself, I was also giving up on the band and my teacher.
With her comfort, I decided to go on practicing. However, I still couldn’t play well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent about three more hours practicing with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed wonderfully in an important show.
In the whole process, I was taught that although we each had our own job to do in a show, it would take all of us to work together to make the show great. Thanks to their encouragement, I felt cheerful and made great progress. I love everyone in the band. I can’t imagine what my school life would be like without them. 9.From the passage we know that a month later the writer _______.

C.Working together is very important in the show. D.He performed wonderfully in an important show alone.
(D)
Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and healthcare, opportunities and challenges come together.
Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor
online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.
In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions (互动) about our
health needs. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are quickly achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems likely to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might
be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience completely. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a
receptionist (接待员), who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect.
Next, sharing the details of one’s life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health
care. The human touch should not be undervalued (看轻)and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged (标记
了的) result with no explanation on the website, there’s room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.
But the warmth of human interaction and touch will not come true . Patients often need someone to listen
to—and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let’s not allow our humanity (人性) to be one of them.
13.Which statement about telemedicine is right ?
A.It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites. B.It provides an opportunity to build a medical team. C.It improves relations between doctors and patients. D.It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.
14.What are NOT quickly achieved by technology on many patient websites?
A.Different kinds of interactions B.The warmth of human touch C.Reading lab results D.Setting a date with doctors 15.What may flagged results cause ?
A.trust from doctors. B.medical problems. C.worry for patients. D.patients’ carelessness. 16.From the passage the writer probably thinks that ________.
A.techno-health care should take humanity into consideration(考虑) B.telemedicine can take the place of usual health care C.it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age D.technology can deal with unexpected effects

When I walked into the house after school, I found my dad at home.

One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn’t interfere (妨碍) with school,” he said, which sounded
like a yes.
I 29 at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was
a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of 30 experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity(逆境). Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find plans, ask for help, and take risks.

On March 4, nearly 200 countries agreed to a new United Nations treaty. The agreement is 31 (know)as the High Seas Treaty《公海条约》. It marks 32 a huge step toward the protection of the world’s oceans.
The world’s oceans cover about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. They’ re 33 to more than 240, 000 species(物种)of animals and plants. The oceans are in trouble, however. Overfishing has had a harmful influence on all 34 ( live)things in the oceans. Pollution from ships has also caused serious pollution in many areas.
In recent years, more and more countries have classified (划分) “marine(海事的)protected areas ” in their own waters. In these areas, there are strict restrictions(限制) about human activities. 35 However, the high seas cover about two-thirds of the world’s oceans. Only 1.2 percent 36 this large area is protected. All countries have the same right to 37 shipping and fishing in the high seas. Last December, more than 110 countries agreed to protect 30 percent of the planet’s land and oceans by 2030. Without an international agreement, there would be no way to reach this goal. The High Seas Treaty now makes this 38 ( possible ). The agreement tries to turn 30 percent of the high seas into protected areas by 2030. It’s the first of its kind in the world.
The treaty was finally reached after 10 years of many difficult 39 (discuss). Talks began nearly 20 years ago. Many of the disagreements were about how 40 (share) the natural resources (资源) in the high seas between different countries.

These days, teenagers have a lot to deal with, from study pressure and family expectations to concerns(焦虑) about social media and self-image. When pressure takes over, it’s easy to neglect(忽视) self-care. Here are some tips for keeping your body and mind healthy. Set aside some time each day to do pressure-reducing activities. Meditation(冥想)is a good choice because it increases relaxation and concentration(专注). You could add yoga to it too. Yoga helps reduce physical tension(紧张)and strengthen the mind-body connection. If meditation and yoga aren’t your cup of tea, then try strength training or running. Such exercises have benefits of improving your physical fitness and reducing your anxiety(焦虑).
Try to get enough sleep.
Most young adults require eight to nine hours of sleep a night . Sleep and wake up at regular times as well so that your body can follow a regular sleep schedule.
Connect with nature.
Time spent outdoors can help you lift your mood and look at life from a different angle(角度). So go on a hike, ride your bike, or simply take a walk in the park. Take your eyes off your phone and look at the trees and sky.
Pay attention to your diet.
When it comes to self-care, you should pay special attention to the importance of proper nutrition(营养). A poor diet can leave you feeling weak and unhappy, while a good one energizes you. Try to cut snacks and fast food from your diet, which have salt, sugar, and solid fats. Eat more healthy foods like fresh nuts, fruits, and
vegetables.
These self-care steps don’t require a lot of time or effort. However, they will do wonders for improving your mental and physical health.
