I can still remember I was once asked to make a speech before the whole class by the age of 9. You can imagine how shy I was when I thought of that with so many eyes fixing on me. I had no choice but prepare for it, though. The hardest part was my oral presentation from my memory, as reading from the paper wasn’t allowed. The real moment began with when I stood on the platform with my legs shook and my mind blank. And my listeners were waiting patient. Gradually, I found me back, giving my speech at last. After what seemed to be a long time, I heard the listener applauding loudly. Ever since then, my fear of speaking before a big audience had disappeared. Actually, now I’ve become a great speaker!

It was my birthday yesterday. I'm sixteenth years old now. Some people say I'm luckily but it's not totally true. Up till now I had been to eight different schools and I have never stayed anywhere long enough make good friend. I have lived in so much different houses which I can't remember any of them. In a fact, last year my family moved three times. Of course there are some good things. I have met some really interesting people, but I have had several great holiday-I have been to Disneyland at least four times. I'm stayed with my aunt at the moment because my parents are in France.

3 . We all have periods in our lives when everything seems very hard, when there's nobody to talk to and the mood（情绪）is just getting worse and worse.     1     There are some things that may help us lift up our mood.

Socialize and think positively. It's very hard, because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the problems we have. But if you’ll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts.     2    

Do something totally selfish for yourself. This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a big meal or anything that could lift up your mood.     3     The point of all this is just being good to yourself.

Take a walk in a crowded place. Seeing other people, understanding that each of them also has days like this should force you to do something that would change the situation.

    4     Think of your friends, family, relatives or even communities, choose one person and give him a gift. It doesn't have to be something expensive nor big. It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor's child. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind.

Be creative!     5     Creating doesn't include only painting or playing an instrument, it also includes cooking, writing, photographing and many other activities. While focusing on creating, you will forget how you have been feeling.

Making yourself feel better isn't that hard. It's hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood.

A．Buy some things for others.

B．Try to understand other people.

C．This doesn't have to be expensive.

D．Could you give us some advice?

E．Creating things changes our mood.

F．But why sit and think how pitiful we are?

G．Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life.

4 . We spend hours, days and years of our lives in school. Imagine you could design your dream school, what would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said:

Richard from the USA: My dream school would have a big swimming pool and two soccer fields. It would also have a cinema, a gym and a shopping centre. My school has none of these, and I think there should be more pleasant things for students to do while they are studying.

Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can relax and play computer games. I’d also like to have a music room. I think there should be a place for everyone to go and relax after class.

Wu from Beijing: I think it would be great to have another day off every week, besides the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o'clock, and finish earlier.

Hannah from Australia: In my dream school, I think the teachers should give us more freedom and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s not necessary for us to wear school uniforms every day. I really don’t like wearing it.

6 . Next week, Pushpa Nagaraj will appear for her 720th exam. But she won’t be taking the exam for herself. Since 2007, she has helped hundreds of visually challenged students take exams by acting as their scribe (抄写员), reading them the questions and then writing down the answers they give.

When Ms. Nagaraj was growing up in Bangalore, the IT capital of India, her father lost his job after a back injury. The family suddenly found itself struggling. She thought she’d have to drop out of school. Luckily, her mother managed to raise enough money to educate her through high school. Today, she’s a project coordinator for an IT firm.

One day, as she was helping a few visually damaged children cross the road, it struck her how difficult even everyday tasks could be for them, let alone finishing their education. Ms. Nagaraj wanted to help those children.

In India, most children with sight challenges do not have access to specialized schooling. Even for those who attend mainstream classes, timed exams — key for Indian educational institutions, where scores are especially important — present additional difficulties. “Many of them balk at the thought of writing exams and drop out,” says Ms. Sundararaman, a local education expert. “And so, their education comes to a sudden stop, midway.” Having a scribe can be the difference between passing and failing.

Over the past 12 years, word about Ms. Nagaraj’s work has spread — so much that she now gets requests from people from all over India. She has also set up a network of volunteers that posts requests through a WhatsApp group.

Ms. Nagaraj is keenly aware of ongoing challenges, chief of which is that, every once in a while, she has to refuse requests from students to give them the answers during exams. Another challenge is to expand the circle of scribes. Despite these, she is very grateful for having the opportunity to help others. “I have no complaints. Actually, I feel very blessed,” she says.

1. What do we know about Ms. Nagaraj from paragraph 2?

A．She suffered from a back injury.	B．She struggled to finish her high school.
C．She raised enough money from an IT firm.	D．She had to work to help support her family.

2. What does the underlined word “balk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Become hesitant.	B．Feel unsatisfied.
C．Are hopeful.	D．Are surprised.

3. What challenge does Ms. Nagaraj have to overcome?

A．The limited number of scribes.	B．The large quantity of exams to take.
C．The request to copy answers in the exam.	D．The building of a network of volunteers.

4. What’s the text mainly about?

A．An Indian woman breaking the record in taking exams.

B．The importance of setting up an organization for scribes.

C．The problems of students dropping out of school in India.

D．An Indian woman helping disabled children by being a scribe.

7 . History can be found at every turn and every corner, as you walk on the streets of this architectural marvel of the city, and at Powis Place and Fraser Studios, you are just a short 15-minute walk away from one of the oldest universities in the country. Information about the University of Aberdeen can be found to as far back as 1495, with a beautiful medieval (中世纪的) campus to back up its claims.

All of these make it the fifth oldest university in the whole of the UK, and as a result it has always been a well-regarded higher education establishment. Having been voted the Scottish University of 2019 and ranked in the Top 30 Universities in the UK in 2019, it appeals to people from all over the UK and abroad. With distance learning options, it is an attractive choice to many students. The Sir Duncan Rice Library has perfect views of the entire city and beaches, and the university has one of the largest medical campuses in the whole of Europe.

Aberdeen University Students' Association (AUSA) is home to over 150 societies and hundreds of activities relating to those societies. It ensures that whatever you are interested in you are well served when moving to the city as a student. It is a fantastic way to meet and make new friends with people from all over the world. Within the Association, there is a cafe and a shop, with many food stands providing daily refreshments (茶点) during breaks between lectures and study. There are also plenty of volunteering and training opportunities to take part in, whether you are looking for a hobby, to help others, to present your CV, or all of the above.

The University of Aberdeen certainly holds some reputations, home to five previous Nobel Prize Winners, an internationally-focused university in teaching and research, and even its very own tartan(格子昵) created in 1992 to celebrate the university 's 500th anniversary.

8 . “I don’t do throw-up.” My own words were coming back to haunt (烦扰) me as I heard one of my campers yell, “Ewww, Bridger threw up.” I froze. I forced myself to turn around and look. I glanced quickly, then immediately looked away. I stopped breathing through my nose so I wouldn’t be able to smell it.

Working at Camp Seafarer for the summer was like a dream to me. Being a counselor (夏令营负责人), though, was more work than I had expected. I was always exhausted, and it was hard to keep giving 100 percent of myself twenty-four hours a day. In the end, however, it was worth staying up with a homesick camper or saying a longer goodnight to the shyest girl to help bring her out of her shell. It was just so much responsibility trying to keep twelve ten-year-olds safe, while trying to help them have a great summer. Now my responsibility was spreading to the one thing I hated most, cleaning up throw-up.

I looked around at Bridger who looked like she was in pain. Then I noticed my co-counselor, Jessie standing around. I looked at her, waiting for her to start the work. “I’ll take Bridger to the health center,” Jessie said. I couldn’t believe it! I was stuck with doing the one thing I have always said I would never do. “All right, I can do this,” I said to myself. What to get first? Paper towels! I went into the bathroom to find some. As I approached my enemy, I noticed a lot of girls were crowded around me laughing.

I then squeezed my eyes shut and went in for the kill, picking up the mess. I picked up the        paper towels as fast as I could and threw them into the trash can. I had done it! I could handle            this job. Then I noticed that now all the people were laughing.

“Sarah!” Bridger cried, “The throw-up was fake!”

I learned, that summer, that with responsibility comes great rewards, such as my campers’ laughing over the fake throw-up. Every smile and every hug made the job worth it.

1. How might the author have felt about the news of Bridger?

A．Panicked.	B．Confused.
C．Satisfied.	D．Relieved.

B．It cured her of homesickness.

C．It was tiring but worthwhile.

D．It helped overcome her shyness.

3. What is “my enemy” in Paragraph 3?

A．The co-counselor Jessie.

B．The throw-up.

C．The paper towel.

D．The trash can.

4. What happened to the author at last?

A．She broke her mental block.

B．She recognized Bridger’s trick.

C．She was rewarded by the camp organizer.

D．She was looked down upon by her co-counselors.

9 . When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English. Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School of History, Anthropology,Philosophy and Politics, encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University over 4,000 miles away.

Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.

Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.

Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school-doing everything he could to earn extra tuition (学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan.

Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.

Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different.

“I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.”

1. What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Expected.

B．Unbelievable.

C．Awkward.

D．Anxious.

2. What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?

A．His father was mentally ill.

B．He was abandoned by his mother.

C．He was once adopted by his relatives.

D．He lived with his friends now and then.

3. How did Emanuel afford his university education?

A．By receiving a regular student loan.

B．By earning the tuition all by himself.

C．By borrowing the money from friends.

D．By getting support from the government.

4. What can we learn from Emanuel’s story?

A．Well begun is half done.

B．It’s never too old to learn.

C．You are the master of your life.

D．Lost time is never found again.

10 . Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.

Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.

Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.

Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.

A．She helped her dad with his work.

B．She ran the family farm on her own.

C．She supported herself through college.

A．To take care of her kids easily.	B．To learn from the best nurses.
C．To save money for her parents.	D．To find a well-paid job there.

3. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?

A．Her health.	B．Her time with family.
C．Her reputation.	D．Her chance of promotion.

4. What can we learn from Jenifer's story?

A．Time is money.	B．Love breaks down barriers.
