22、 Even if you love school, it can be hard to stay excited about doing homework. Just like with any other kind of work, it's important to set personal goals and find your own inspiration to keep going. So you help yourself focus by caring for yourself and organizing your time wisely while you work.
【1】
It's hard to focus on homework if you're tired, hungry, or uncomfortable. Try to get enough sleep if you know you'll have to do a lot of homework the next day, and don't try to work on an empty stomach! If you feel physically tense, do some yoga or light stretches before you begin to work. Doing breathing exercises can also help you feel more comfortable.
【2】
Your environment can make a big difference in how well you focus on your work. Before you begin doing your homework, find a place that is quiet, well-lit, and gives you enough space to spread out. You'll want a place where you can sit comfortably, but don't get too comfortable. Don't do homework in sofa or bed, which makes you want to fall asleep!
【3】
You'll get burnt out and lose focus quickly if you try to work too long without a break. Try working for an hour to an hour and a half and then taking a 15-minute break. This will give your tired brain a chance to rest. During your breaks, you can go for a walk, have a snack, drink some water, or even put your head down for a short sleep.
【4】
If you've reached the point where you can't stand to look at your homework any more, try changing to another task for a while. This way you can give your brain a break. For example, if you've been working on writing an article for an hour or two, take a break and then change to doing some math problems. Don't try to do more than one task at once, though.
【5】
It may be tempting to put off big, difficult tasks for last and do the easy ones first. However, letting the more important tasks wait will finally lead to fear, impatience, and missed deadlines. Make an ordered list of all your tasks. Try to finish ones that are due soon, or seem like they will be the most difficult to complete. Put ones that aren't due for a while or that you know you can finish quickly and easily at the bottom.
A.Do the most important or difficult tasks first.
B.Take care of your physical needs before working.
C.Treat yourself when you meet a homework goal.
D.Change between different tasks to help you stay sharp.
E.Find a quiet and comfortable work space.
F.Take enough breaks while you work for a long time.
23、A: Would you like to help protect the environment?
B: Certainly. What can I do?
A: Well. 【1】
B: Yes. I'll remember that. What's next?
A: Second, you can ride a bike. 【2】
B: That will save money, too. What else?
A: 【3】
B: Mm, newspapers, magazines, books…We have got a lot of paper at home.
A: That's right. 【4】
B: OK. My parents do most of the shopping. I'll tell them. 【5】
A: Let me see. Oh, you can take short showers (淋浴).
A.Don't take a car or a taxi if you don't have to.
B.First, you can start by turning off the lights.
C.Can I take short showers?
D.Try to recycle paper.
E.And take a bag when you go shopping.
F.What else can I do?
G.There are too many cars.

The world has many refugees (难民), but we usually hear little about their lives. This year’s Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah, is helping people know more about their stories.
Gurnah’s works are mainly about the impact of colonialism (殖民主义的影响) and the experiences of refugees, who leave their countries to stay safe or find a better life. “These are things that are with us every day. People are dying, people are being hurt around the world—we must deal with these problems in the most kind way,” said Gurnah.
In fact, this problem is very close to his own heart. When he was just 18, Gurnah was forced to leave his home country as a refugee. He moved to England and soon started writing novels there.
Aged 73, Gurnah has written 10 novels and a number of short stories. In 1994, Gurnah wrote Paradise (《天堂》), one of his best-known novels. It’s about a boy in Africa called Yusuf, who grew up during World War I. Yusuf was sold by his father to a traveling trader to pay a debt (债务). As he traveled, Yusuf saw war, disease and child slavery. The name of the book is ironic (讽刺的), because although the scenery of Africa is beautiful, what happens in the story there is the opposite.
Before Gurnah retired, he was a professor at the University of Kent in England. The head of the university’s School of English said that Gurnah’s works “have touched millions worldwide and shine a light on human experiences that are so often ignored (忽略)”.
【1】Gumah’s hope might be ________.
A.to make Africa more beautiful
B.to experience the life of a refugee
C.to help deal with the refugee problem
D.to keep refugees in their own countries
【2】Paradise is about ________.
A.the beauty of East Africa
B.the experiences of an African boy
C.how war leads to disease and slavery
D.what Gurnah saw during World War I
【3】About the life of Gurnah , we can learn that ________.
A.one of his parents is British
B.all his works are long stories
C.he wrote many novels in Tanzania
D.he once worked at a university in the UK
【4】The best title of the article may be ________.
A.East Africa: a terrible life
B.Paradise: a fantastic novel
C.World War I: forgetful history
D.Nobel winner: Abdulnizuk Gurnnh
25、When Jason’s parents saw him for the first time, they were shocked(震惊).This lovely little baby with shining blue eyes and curly hair was born disabled(残疾的). But soon the young couple accepted this fact. Jason’s arms are just half without hands and his legs aren’t fully grown either. They even forgot to think of him as disabled. At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics(假肢)and play with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an electric wheelchair(轮椅), but he never uses it
at home or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.
Jason learned handwriting and coloring at school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also learned to eat with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never had a pair of shoes in his life because of the shape of his feet. He only wore socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he refused to give up. His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic ways made him a respected(受尊重的) player on the school team. He went to a famous university after high school.
Now Jason still faces many hardships in life, but he will make you believe that you can do what he has done.
“Never be afraid of any difficulty”, Jason often encourages others in his speeches.

26、There are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment(实验).
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave(光波)------ a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain(大脑) through organs(感觉器官)
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture(家具) for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change when we see different colours.
【1】Which is the lightest colour in a man’s mind?
A. Red B. Blue C. Green D. White
【2】Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Different colours have different weights in a man’s mind.
B. The colour “blue” is the second heaviest colour in a man’s mind.
C. People can’t smell the colours.
D. The colour you don’t like will keep you healthy.
【3】What will happen when you get into a cool colored room from a warm colored room?
A. You will feel excited.
B. You will be happy and contented.
C. Your temperature will fall.
D. You will be nervous.
【4】According to the passage, how long will you feel if you stay in a red room for an hour?
A. Two hours. B. Fours hours C. Six hours D. Eight hours.
27、Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong , people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
【1】Those who have big houses may often feel _____.
A. lonely B. happy C. excited D. free
【2】When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _____.
A. play jokes on you B. help you up
C. quarrel with you D. laugh at you
【3】What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Good luck B. Oh, so do I
C. Congratulations D. It’s just so-so
【4】Which idea is not right according to the passage?
A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
C. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
D. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
【5】Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Life C. Good luck D. Happiness

On Oct. 16th, 2021, China launched the Shenzhou XIII mission to the Tiangong space station early in the morning, 【1】 the start of the longest spaceflight of China.
