If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The book is quite interesting and popular among kids. Even if I am an adult now, the book is 21 one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have 22 an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring 23 . What's in your mind when your mother 24 you to do some chores (琐事) Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨) I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to 25 the fence (篱笆) . Tom was doing his job when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “ 26 ” about the task. “Only one in a thousand— maybe even two thousand— boys can do this!”
Tom said Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a 27 to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about 28 but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is 29 . The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don't complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don't complain, 30 you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!

23. A. stories B. words C. tasks D. lessons

25. A. paint B. repair C. examine D. cross
26. A. bored B. excited C. unexpected D. disappointed
27. A. method B. hobby C. dream D. chance
28. A. everything B. anything C. nothing D. something
29. A. useless B. endless C. powerful D. wonderful
30. A. if B. or C. but D. and

How can I help you
Dr. Know will try her best to help with all your problems.
Dear Doctor, I am a sixteen -year -old student and I've been experiencing lots of back pain and headaches lately. I'm unsure about the cause. Like some of my friends, I spend my evenings playing computer games and surfing the Internet. What's more, I carry a heavy schoolbag to school daily. I'm just an ordinary (普通的) student, but these health problems are starting to worry me. What can I do Adam
Dear Adam, I'm unable to tell you exactly what's wrong, but I can offer some advice. First of all, don't spend too much lime on your computer, and stop using it late at night. It's important for teenagers to get enough sleep Also, you get headaches from looking at computer screens for a long time. If you sit on a chair for long, it can make your back ache too. As for your schoolbag, it's important to manage its weight. Take anything you don't need out of your schoolbag. If possible, leave some books or materials at school. I hope my advice is helpful. Anyway, I strongly recommend you visit a local doctor for that. Dr. Know

Do you do team projects at school I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren't always easy. You need to know how to work well together.
Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.
1. Know the goals
Make sure everyone understands the goal of the project. If you're doing a class project, you need to check the teacher's instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn't clear. There's a popular saying
If you don't know where you're going, you probably won't get there.
2. Assign (指派) roles
Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team's ideas during meetings, and a time- keeper to control the time. There might also be a fact -checker or a group speaker.
3. Divide the work
For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn't always do the same task. It's good to try new things, even if they're difficult!
4. Make a plan
After you divide the work, write down a plan on paper. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. It's important for everyone to follow the plan. And if you can't finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be positive (积极的) . Everything is easier when you're enjoying yourself in the team.
34. How does the writer begin the story
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.

Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It's the first time it's been done without having to put anything into the brain. 'They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) . It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器) . The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to join certain brain activity to words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the Al tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率) , though the AT found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don't have my driver's license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learned from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn't understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientists Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.
43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph I refer to (指代)
A. A way. B. Anything. C. The brain. D. AI
44. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2
A. To describe the process (过程) of the experiment.
B. To explain the results of the experiment.
C. To offer some opinions about the experiment.
D. To list the difficulties with the experiment.
45. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show
A. The AT is much cleverer than people
B. The AT didn't start the work as it was ordered
C. The AI couldn't understand the exact words of what people thought
D. The AI will be well developed according to people's special needs
46. Which of the following about AI is true
A. It is not difficult to take AI under control
B. AI will not be used in a proper way in the future.
C. Al is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems.
D. It's expected that Al will help those speechless exchange ideas.
47. What can be the best title for the text
A. High Risks of Using AI B. Mind-Reading Development
C. Importance of Human Brain D. Ways of Improving Technology

Control Your Anger and Solve Your Problem
Have you ever controlled your anger and solved a problem better I was once so angry with my best friend because he said something bad behind me. I shouted at him. However, it didn't make me feel better. “Anger doesn't help.” The words rang in my head. Then I calmed down. l decided to have a talk. So I did. We found out what really happened, said sorry to each other and became best friends again.
Anger hurts. When you are angry, take a deep breath to clear your mind. When anger dies down, think carefully about the problem and try to understand others. When you are ready to talk, communicate properly and find a way out. Controlling anger helped me to win my friend back.
And it will help you too.
Thanks for listening.
