1 . Have a Positive Attitude

Many times, we’re not aware of the advantages of having a positive attitude all the time. Here are some top tips on how to have a positive attitude and see how that can change our lives.

    1    

This tip really works! If you’re stuck in a terrible situation or a negative phase of your life, all you have to do is think of the good times that are going to come after your bad phase gets over.

Think of how you can help others

This is one quality of humankind which is universal.     2     There’s an innate (天生的) sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and positivity associated with giving and helping. Have a positive attitude all the time by doing a good deed a day and helping others with your strengths.

Look at people who are less privileged than you

Being unsatisfied will be a big hindrance (障碍) in helping you to have a positive attitude all the time.     3     Being grateful for what you have can help you have a positive attitude all the time.

Forget the regrets of your past

Every moment you spend thinking of a dark past will fill you with negativity. You will lose one bright moment of your present and the future by doing so.     4    

Keep fit and healthy all year round

    5     You might have all the money, success and the luxury in the world, but you won’t be able to enjoy anything if you don’t have good health.

A．Observe people around you

B．Think of the good times you are going to have

C．We always feel good when we help others in some way, right?

D．Take small actions every single day that lead you toward fulfilling your purpose.

E．Keeping fit and disease free is a critical tip in having a positive attitude all the time.

F．Look around you and see other people who don’t have enough resources like you do.

G．Letting go of your past is the only way that you can have a positive attitude all the time.

It was raining hard outside, which made it difficultly for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and found it was my mother, already in she fifties, which brought me lunch in spite of the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for their child. But what had the children done in return? All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditionally. My dear mum or dad, thank you very much bringing me up. How shall I do for you?

4 . Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it?

A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.

However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories —meaning, overall, you eat less.

Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.

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

A．being healthy.

B．being strong.

C．being fat.

D．being sleepy.

2. What opinion do disbelievers hold?

A．Calorie alone doesn’t contribute to health.	B．Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C．Less calories mean less food in your stomach.	D．Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.

3. What’s the text mainly about?

A．The best way to keep in shape.	B．A research result of obesity in the UK.
C．Nutrition and its health benefit.	D．Opinions and comments on calorie counting.

4. From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken?

A．Entertainment.

B．Lifestyle.

C．Finance.

D．Education.

8 . 任务型阅读阅读下面短文，并回答问题。

Peter, a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in seashells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shining on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling (闪烁) in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming (绽放) in gentle wind.

One day, Peter was wandering through a market with Shirley with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging (落后) behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley standing in front of a toy shop and staring at something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, “What do you want?” Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed (踮起脚尖) to reach for the doll, and like fulfilling an elder brother’s duty, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very happy.

The shopkeeper was watching everything and enjoyed seeing the mature (成熟的) behavior of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “How much does this doll cost, Sir?” The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love, “Well, what can you pay?” Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little kids’ breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it with care on the counter, asking again, “Sir, is it enough for my little sister’s doll?” The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile to his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, “My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough.”

9 . I had just made a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.

The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.

Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.

I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.

I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.

1. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?

A．Delighted.

B．Nervous

C．Confused.

D．Thrilled.

2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A．He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.

B．He felt so disappointed and didn’t want to try again.

C．He felt upset for getting up early on a freezing morning.

D．He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.

3. Which of the following can best describe the author?

A．Tough and determined.	B．Strong-willed and talented.
C．Enthusiastic and generous.	D．Creative and attractive.

4. What does the author want to tell us?

A．Don’t rely too much on others.

B．Stand up from where we fall.

C．Never mind others’ judgments.

D．Learn to value memories in our life.
