3 . “Teenager Therapy”, hosted by five rising seniors at Loara High School in Anaheim, Calif., has become a breakout hit. The podcast show features five teens having loose, sincere conversations about mental health, school and family, friendships, and more. Sometimes they interview big names, including Loren Gray. But typically, the show is more of a free-form discussion.

“There are episodes where we offer advice about teenage life, and there are episodes where we simply talk about our experiences,” said Gael Aitor, 17.

He got the idea for “Teenager Therapy” in 2018 after hearing “Couples Therapy”, a podcast by the YouTuber Casey Neistat and his wife. The then 15-year-old rounded up four friends to record the first episode of “Teenager Therapy”. “The first two tries were terrible,” Mr. Aitor said. “The third time we were happy with it, so we posted it online.”

Building a podcast audience is no easy job, especially since the group of high schoolers had no marketing budget. To attract listeners, Mr. Aitor repurposed an old Instagram account, which had 20, 000 followers.

Within a few months of posting their first episode, “Teenager Therapy” had over 100, 000 downloads — a number it can take years for self-governing podcasts to hit. From there, the show kept growing. But part of the great popularity of the show is that it’s produced for teenagers by several hosts from the same age group. “People often say, ‘I don’t know who to tell but you guys,’” said Mr. Aitor. “We never really scripted (写脚本) anything or planned it out.”

Maya Gabay, 16, a rising high school junior, said the podcast was now her favorite show. “The podcast never holds back on anything,” said Ms. Gabay, who, like many other young listeners, considers it as their lifeline. The podcast has helped her process things going on in her life, including problems with friendships. “It’s really great to see kids my age doing something like this,” she said.

1. What does “Teenager Therapy” usually do for its listeners?

A．It connects teenage patients with doctors.

B．It holds discussions about teenage topics.

C．It helps develop teens’ communication skills.

D．It allows teens to make friends with big names.

2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．Why Gael brought together his four friends.	B．Why Gael continued his podcast.
C．How the listeners were attracted.	D．How the podcast show started.

3. What is a reason for the quick success of “Teenager Therapy”?

A．It is made for teens by teens.	B．Its hosts are good at marketing.
C．Its programs are all carefully planned.	D．It won support from “Couples Therapy”.

4. What did Gabay think of “Teenager Therapy”?

A．It needed to make improvements.	B．It would train more kids like her.
C．It was an important part of her life.	D．It should pay more attention to friendships.

4 . The first thing you notice at Nate Otto’s house is a 1967 Oldsmobile 98, an old car. Inside is a small, 100-year-old reed organ ( 簧风琴). It’s just a small taste of what’s in Otto’s house: self-playing, old-style musical robots called player pianos. Some sound and look as good as they did a century ago. Some are awaiting repair. Otto, a 29-year-old, has decided that it’s his job to bring player pianos back to life.

As the owner of Rum River Restoration, Otto believes he’s the only full-time player piano restorer ( 修复师) in the state of Minnesota. He specializes in Jazz Age objects that once were ubiquitous in America but now are largely forgotten except by collectors.

Otto believes in doing things the old-fashioned way and tries his best to make player piano restorations as real as possible.

Otto views the player pianos that he fixes as kinetic art ( 动态艺术) pieces. The classic player piano, or pianola, was first developed at the end of the 19th century. It was seen as a thing that helped to change American musical tastes, spreading new styles of music such as jazz to middle-class people. In their successful days, most of the pianos made in the U.S. were player pianos.

By the 1920s, however, the rise of radios and record players provided an even easier way to listen to music, hurting the sales of player pianos. The market for the instruments finally disappeared with the 1929 stock market crash ( 股票市场暴跌) and the Great Depression.

Keeping a player piano going today is a little like restoring an old car: It takes time, love, money and so on. A full rebuild of a player piano mechanism might take 100 to 150 hours of work and cost $5,000 to $8,000 on average, Otto said. But it’s worth it for some people to once again hear an instrument that brought generations of family members together to listen, sing and dance.

1. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Natural.	B．Difficult.
C．Common.	D．Interesting.

2. What do we know about the classic player piano?

A．It was created in the 20th century.	B．It was invented by Otto’s family.
C．It helped the spread of jazz.	D．It can be easily found today.

3. How was the player piano in the 1920s?

A．It fell out of popularity.	B．It was not known to the public.
C．It was first brought outside the U.S.	D．It caused the sales of record players to fall.

4. What did Otto think of restoring player pianos?

A．It was a waste of time.	B．It was worth continuing.
C．It was easier than restoring cars.	D．It was not helpful in supporting his life.

6 . In 2019, I went on a winter break trip with my family. One of our _________ was London. The first thing that I _________ when I landed in London was the weather. It was too _________ for my liking as it required me to wear a thick jacket.

After some _________ using a map of London, we decided to go to Buckingham Palace first.

Buckingham Palace was one of the _________ of a “hop-on, hop-off (随上随下)” bus that we took. The palace itself didn’t look very big or impressive from the entrance _________ it got much more impressive when you entered the gates.

While continuing on the “hop-on, hop-off” bus, we _________ the London Bridge, which I didn’t notice until the driver pointed it out to me. While it felt kind of special to be driving on such an iconic (符号的) bridge, the _________ was not as cool as one would imagine it to be.

Besides its history, this bridge was just another bridge that _________ two masses of land, something that pretty much all __________ do.

When we __________ Big Ben, we decided to hop off the bus and take some __________. Big Ben was a pretty __________ experience for me. In many pictures of London, Big Ben is a very visible (看得见的) building in the skyline, and it was very nice for me to see the clock tower __________.
