In my family, there have three people. My mother is a engineer and my father is a teacher. They devote themselves to their work. I came to a university in the US in 2016, so I learned a lot in the past 5 years. I often tell my American friends story about China, that they are very interested in. I miss my motherland as well as my parents. In National Day, I put up a Chinese national flag on the wall of my room. Stand under the flag, I was proud and happy. 2 years later, I am going to graduate and go back to the building of my beautifully country. It is how I will be expecting in the coming days.

3 . Do you know the proverb “no pain, no gain”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’ re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?

When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.

Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation, while studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score of games rather than productive revision.

If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.

4 . For many Americans, regular exercise is a complicated commitment—one made at the beginning of January that fades out within weeks or months. Busy work schedules, a lack of motivation and unease towards exercising in public all contribute to the discouraging statistics that only around a quarter of adults exercise enough per week.

This month, enterptiser Trent Ward and designer Yves Behar are uncovering their design for a mirror fitness system, Forme. Forme is reflective like a mirror, uses machine learning to heighten workouts, and offers attachments including ankle belts, rope handles and a heart rate monitor. When not in use, the two arms that form the resistance pulley (滑轮) system fold behind it and the display screen disappears, turning Forme into a simple full—length mirror.

Interest in home exercise has particularly increased recently around the world. Home workout apps have seen a significant uptick in downloads, and trendy brands like Peloton have rolled out free virtual workouts for everyone stuck indoors. One French athlete who was kept away from others chose to run an entire marathon on his 23-foot balcony.

But beyond the new restrictions affecting daily workout routines, Ward and Behar are tapping into the same concerns that have made every home workout appealing：the ability to save time and sweat in the privacy of one’s home. In an age of personal metrics (衡量标准)--where one can measure their heart rate and sleep cycles with smart watches and train for marathons with AI smart sneakers----Ward and Behar want to improve exercise through machine learning. Forme evaluates performance and adjusts weights accordingly. Easy access to one’s own performance data also makes it easier to track that progress and stay motivated.

Though it’s too soon to tell if mirror gyms will be the trend of the late 2010s to 2020s, Behar explained that having a screen in the home can become the basis for more than just fitness, such as shopping or telemedicine.

A．The better results than outdoor activities.

B．The fresher air at home.

C．The privacy of home.

D．The convenient access to mass data.

4. What is the best title for the text?

B．Does Regular Exercise Keep up with New Technology?

C．Is the New Trend of Smart Machines at Home available?

8 . Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).

Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that   quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).

When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.

When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.

“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.

Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.

Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.

1. What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？

A．It is her part-time job.

B．It goes beyond her ability.

C．It requires her to work all day long.

D．It offers her a chance to learn sign language.

2. What can we infer about the deaf man?

A．He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.

B．He could use sign language.

C．He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.

D．He was a friend of the customers at the next table.

3. What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey?

A．She is wasting time working as a waitress.	B．She needs to study further for a degree.
C．She should use the Internet as a tool.	D．She is so kind to serve those in need.

4. What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience?

A．Practice makes perfect.	B．It is never too late to learn.
C．Kindness is repaid with kindness.	D．When in Rome, do as Romans do.

10 . How to Meet New People

It is easy to find a place where people gather. But once you’re in a room full of people, then what? The trick is finding a way to approach someone and get them talking to you.

Prepare to meet new people before you arrive.     1    . Don’t think in terms of yes or no questions. You should consider questions that will allow the person to contribute more than a one-word answer to the conversation.

★ Arrive at your event or place. Don’t panic when you walk in the door. Take your time and look over the room. If this is a classroom, take a seat and look around the room.     2    , take time to enjoy the art while looking at the people. Don’ t rush into talking to someone. You have time, so just get a feel for the group.

★ Approach someone.     3    .   But remember, if the person is at the event alone, they may also be shy and try to break out and meet people. You need to make them feel comfortable by chatting with them.

★     4    . Keep them talking and talk yourself—remember, conversation goes in two directions. You may have a couple of awkward moments, but if you have a few items planned to talk about, you’ll find that they’ll start adding their own questions and information to the conversation.

★ Don’t forget to ask them for a friendship follow-up.     5    , try asking your new friend if they’d like to go to another event with you. If it is a repeat event, such as a class, try asking them if they’d like to meet for coffee before the next class to study the material.

A．If it is a one-time event

B．If this is an art show

C．If you have picked out someone to approach

D．Mentally pull out your prepared questions

E．You may not meet your next best friend on your first try

F．You might find it easiest to approach someone who is also alone

G．Sit down and write out a list of potential questions you can ask someone
