Children’s education is changing very rapidly today.In the past，teachers made children sit still for hours.They made them memorize all sorts of things.In other words，the children had to go on repeating things until they knew them by heart.Today，many teachers wonder if it is possible to make children learn at all.They say you must let children learn and discover things by themselves.
But for some children，school is a kind of prison.They are there only because their parents make them go.They get out of the classroom as soon as the teacher lets them leave.Many of them want to find jobs but the law will not allow them to work until they reach a certain age.And so，they have to stay in school.Often they do not learn anything at all and hate every moment.

When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio，a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines，it’s like a silent，magic wonderland.One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.
Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957.Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century，happening faster after World War Ⅱ when people were attracted to urban jobs.
However，like many places，the area is enjoying a revival(复苏) and now home to some families.“To put it in romantic terms，there is a love story between me and the ancient building，” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio.The castle，with foundations dating back about 1,000 years，is one of the highest in Europe.It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.
Cagnoli，now 39，first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16.He was on a road trip to find himself.“I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle.I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed，” he said.“I thought it was the most beautiful place.I felt special energies，deciding to help its rebirth.” He’s now the castle’s caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors.
“Besides temporary visitors，the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents.People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on，” Valeria Befani，a resident in the village，said.“Today’s teenagers，like my children，are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.”
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了佛朗哥 卡格诺利看到太阳从罗卡卡拉西奥的城堡升起时深受震撼，于是决定帮助复兴这个意大利小山村。
24．What inspired Cagnoli to help revive Rocca Calascio
A．His trip to find himself.
B．The impressive scene of the village.
C．His love for ancient buildings.
D．The historical importance of the castle.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句和倒数第二段中“‘... I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed，’he said.‘I thought it was the most beautiful place.I felt special energies，deciding to help its rebirth.’”可知，村庄之美使卡格诺利陶醉，令人印象深刻的景象激励了他帮助复兴罗卡卡拉西奥。故选B。
25．How was Rocca Calascio affected by World War Ⅱ？
A．Its population loss speeded up.
B．It got left behind in economy.
C．Its buildings were damaged.
D．It was known by more people.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century，happening faster after World War Ⅱ when people were attracted to urban jobs.”可知，20世纪早期意大利的乡村和山村人口随着村民的迁居而开始减少，第二次世界大战后，许多人离开农村前往城市工作，人口流失加剧。故选A。
26．Why was the castle built
A．To attract people to visit.
B．To reduce attack from waves.
C．To strengthen coastal defense.
D．To protect the connected structures.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.”可知，这座城堡的建筑目的是控制和保护亚得里亚海沿岸的土地。故选C。
27．What might Befani agree with
A．Views of different generations vary greatly.
B．Reviving Rocca Calascio has a long way to go.
C．Teenagers doesn’t appreciate their hometown.
D．The future of Rocca Calascio is full of promise.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，Befani说：“完全的复兴与永久居民有很大关系。上一代人不珍惜土地，而如今的青少年为他们的土地感到自豪，如果他们能留在这里，他们就会很高兴。”由此可推知，罗卡卡拉西奥有了真正热爱它的居民，它的未来充满希望。故选D。
C
Sharing could be giving somebody a gift，helping someone by donating some money，sharing your food with a poor and hungry person.It can simply mean giving some time to help others.
When you receive something from others，it makes you happy.On the other hand，when you give something to others，it makes both you and the receiver happy.From the outside，sharing seems to give away a part of your time，resource or space to others.But when you share something with others，you can get all kinds of positivities inside and outside yourself.It can enhance your mood，reduce your stress level，decrease your blood pressure，and have a long-term effect on your life and longevity(长寿)．
Sharing makes you bigger inside and in your society as well.Take knowledge and love for example，the more you share，the more you get.If you make sharing a part of your life and practice it in your daily life，you will get more out of your life directly or indirectly，like help，support，love，cooperation，and a lot more from others even at a time when you are not expecting it.This is why it makes you bigger and happier when you share something with others.
We are living in a global village where each one of us is related to each other in some way or other.When you volunteer，you give away your time or wealth or knowledge to a person or a group of people.You will realize that you are not alone in the big world.As a result，you won’t feel left out in your society.Sharing advances cooperation and social connection.To live harmoniously，we should learn and practice sharing our life with others.Sharing could be one of the ways to build an ideal society.
So，what are you waiting for Start giving a part of yourself to others and see how your life becomes more beautiful，positive，lovely and satisfying.Giving makes you better，bigger，and brighter inside you，in your society，and even in the entire global village.

Food waste has been of major global concern for many years now.It is estimated that every year,1.3 billion tons of edible food—equal to a third of global production—which would be enough to feed three billion people，is wasted.This is particularly shocking when one considers that every day，people go hungry.Ending food waste would certainly solve this problem，but unfortunately，it is not as easy as that.
A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that overemphasize colour，shape and uniformity in appearance especially with regard to fruits and vegetables.The result was that farmers worked with agricultural scientists to focus on the appearance and volume of their products and organic farming had to take a back seat.
Food is also wasted when fresh or processed produce that is close to or at the best-before date in many developed countries is got rid of by retailers and consumers.And this is often a result of poor supply chain management and the overshopping which has been ordinarily existing in western households for a long time.
Another way that wastage occurs is when edible food remains unused or left over and is got rid of from household kitchens and eating places.How many of us refuse leftovers and insist on freshly-prepared meals three times a day on a daily basis Then there are eating places，particularly in North America，that prefer to throw out unused and untouched food rather than allow their employees to consume it or give it to the homeless.
Given its complexity，reducing and ending food waste requires an overall approach，but it must be solved as it is critical to creating the zero-hunger world.Doing so，we would meet the Sustainable Development Goal(可持续性发展目标) which is to end hunger，achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球存在的食物浪费以及食物匮乏问题，解释了食物浪费背后的原因，并呼吁大家减少和消除食物浪费。
32．What do the underlined words “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．People are starving.
B．The population is growing.
C．Global production is decreasing.
D．Food is being wasted.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“This is particularly shocking when one considers that every day，people go hungry.”以及画线词上文“Ending food waste would certainly solve”可知，每天都有人挨饿，而结束食物浪费当然会解决人们挨饿的问题。故画线词“this problem”指的是“人们在挨饿”。故选A。
33．What can we learn about the quality standards mentioned in paragraph 2
A．They overemphasize the flavour of produce.
B．They can certainly ensure the quality of produce.
C．They are aimed at nothing but fruits and vegetables.
D．They directly lead to organic farming being ignored.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段“A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that...The result was that farmers...and organic farming had to take a back seat.”可知，本段提到的不合理的质量标准直接导致有机农业被忽视。故选D。
34．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the practice in eating places
A．Positive. B．Cautious.
C．Uncaring. D．Negative.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中“Then there are eating places...to consume it or give it to the homeless.”可推知，作者对就餐场所这种做法的态度是反对的。故选D。
35．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Waste and Agriculture
B．Waste and Want
C．Waste and Safety
D．Waste and Fairness
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。根据第一段，并结合全文内容可知，文章主要说明了全球存在的食物浪费以及食物匮乏问题，解释了食物浪费背后的原因，并呼吁大家减少和消除食物浪费。由此可知，B选项“浪费和匮乏”最适合作文章标题。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Find Your Muse(灵感) Through Creative Pursuits
Have you ever heard the famous quote “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration”？ 36 Some artists，writers，poets，musicians，and even scientists look to a muse as the source of their creativity or genius.The following tips can help you to find your muse.
Listen to music.
Songs，and music in general，can help you relax. 37 Music，specifically lyrics，can also transport you to a specific time or place and provide you with ideas to help spark your own creativity.
Write whatever comes to mind to get your creativity flowing.
You may not have any concrete ideas，but simply writing something down can help generate creative thoughts.Consider it a form of brainstorming.Remember that you can always start over or revise previous thoughts before you finish a final draft.Writing，in and of itself，can help you generate thoughts. 38 It is best if you do this type of writing by hand，because it will connect you more fully to the writing process.
39
Even if you stick to one type when you write，you can borrow smaller concepts，the latest trend，personality preferences，scenery ideas，and so much more from reading different types of books.Each story was probably inspired from the author’s own exploration of other books or tales and things that happened to or around him in his daily lives.
Try doodling(涂鸦) or drawing to relax and stimulate your creativity.
40 Instead，try spontaneous(自发的) activities，such as doodling or abstract drawing，as a way to be creative without the pressure that can come with creating finished art.
A．People find inspiration in all sorts of creative activities.
B．Read a lot of different stories to find creative inspiration.
C．Try free writing or journaling for 15 minutes every day.
D．Inspiration is something that comes easily for some people，but is a struggle for others.
E．The lyrics and the melodies you listen to can lighten thoughts that might weigh you down.
F．Have fun and encounter your artistic side without worrying about finding innovative ideas.
G．You can express yourself artistically without producing a professional drawing every time.
36．答案 D
解析 前文提到一句名言“天才是1%的灵感加上99%的汗水”，即天才的实现要有灵感和努力。后文“Some artists...creativity or genius.”说明一些著名人物把灵感视为他们的创造力或天赋的源泉。选项D“灵感对某些人来说很容易获得，但对另一些人来说却是一种难事”承上启下，选项中的Inspiration与上句的inspiration和下句的muse呼应。故选D。
37．答案 E
解析 前文提到了歌曲和音乐可以使人放松。下文特别提出音乐中歌词还有着激发创造力的作用。因而空处也应讲述音乐的作用。选项E“你听到的歌词和旋律可以减轻让你焦虑的思想”切题，故选E。
38．答案 C
解析 根据本段标题“想到什么就写什么，激发你的创造力”并结合前文“Writing，in and of itself，can help you generate thoughts.”提到了写作可以激发创造力和灵感，可知空处应承接前文，讲述要尝试写作。选项C“尝试每天15分钟的自由写作或写日记”切题，且与下文中this type of writing呼应。故选C。
39．答案 B
解析 下文“...so much more from reading different types of books.”说明通过阅读也可以激发你的创造力和灵感。因而空处作为段落标题句，应说明通过阅读不同类型的书来寻找灵感。选项B“阅读许多不同的故事来寻找创造性的灵感”切题，故选B。
40．答案 G
解析 根据段落标题可知，涂鸦或者画画可以实现放松，激发你的创造力。根据空后内容可知，要使用涂鸦等自由轻松的创造性方式。因此G项“你可以用艺术的方式表达自己，而不必每次都画专业的画”切题，且与下文中Instead呼应。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

As I walked，I reflected on my anger and what may have 44 it.Certainly the situation did not guarantee it.As I walked，I 45 my friend’s voice saying，“Drop into the heart space，” a space that love rises and，if we 46 it，it can heal our hurt.It is my 47 that hate cannot rise where love shines.I allowed my mind to follow that love and to reflect on what the 48 of my anger was.I realized my anger is the result of many 49 that are normal.
There is a 50 of being upset，annoyed，tired and there is sorrow 51 as well.And perhaps the sorrow is the 52 one.It is not easy to watch a parent decline even when I 53 that it is part of the cycle of life.I had not 54 my sadness until a friend suggested that it was part of my anger，and she was correct.I am 55 for having friends I can turn to for support and comfort.

41．A.tired B．pleased
C．confused D．moved
答案 C

42．A.worked on B．started off
C．dug out D．reached out

解析 根据空后“on how to let go of anger”可知，作者就如何释放愤怒向一位朋友寻求建议。故答案为A。
44．A.realized B．touched

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days，we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly.It was my first bicycle.My mind told me I got it when I was seven，who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle and he called，“Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability，but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object.He added the seat and the pedals(脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems.My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was.I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material.The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it.Honestly，I was scared to try it.
After a month，my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about.I was finally determined to try it.My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly.He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.The park was empty when we arrived.I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it.I felt sorry for other people，but I was proud to have such a capable person as my dad.We found a smooth and open space.My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fell.He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind，holding the bicycle.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.
参考范文
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.As the wheels responded beautifully and smoothly，it was for the first time that I felt this sensation of freewheeling.Carefully steering the bicycle，my heart thumped as the bicycle was accelerating.Attempting to behave manly，I sat straight，pedaling and wondering whether and when I could handle the bike on my own.Minutes ticked by before it hit me that my dad would be worn out after following me for such a long distance.“Dad，you could let go if you are tired，” I yelled.No response!
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.My mind going blank，I was scared out of my wits! I landed on the road and fell off the bike before I knew where the brakes were.Luckily，I only got some scratches on the knees and elbows.Minutes later，my dad caught up and congratulated me on my being manly for cycling 50 yards on my own.After a few more hours’ practice I learned how to pedal，steer，turn and brake properly.A little frightening as the experience was，I felt the joy of learning to do something independently and grateful for the meaningful memory with my father.单元检测卷(三)(Unit 5)

There are many heritage sites in the world.The following are four sites in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Dinosaur Provincial Park，Canada
The park is best known for its extensive fossil(化石) beds，within which 35 species of dinosaurs from about 100 to 65 million years ago have been identified.There are also fossilized remains of fish，reptiles，and amphibians.The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
Salonga National Park，Congo
This is the largest tropical rainforest reserve in Congo，covering about 36,000 km.The park was established in 1970.The thick forest provides habitats for various animals like parrots，elephants and monkeys.Park visitors observe the animals from motorized riverboats.The park was entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984.
Hadrian’s Wall，Britain
This is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain.Hadrian，the Roman emperor from 117 CE to 138 CE，went to Britain in 122 CE and was the first to build a wall,73 miles long，to separate the Romans from the barbarians.There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open.In 1987，Hadrian’s Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Easter Island，Chile
This place is famous for its huge stone statues.The first European visitors，the Dutch，named it Easter Island in memory of their day of arrival.The small and hilly island was formed by volcanoes.Easter Island was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1995.

I accidentally found a time capsule，in purple and green floss(丝线) in the midst of sorting out some old things last month.Faded and worn，it was a friendship bracelet(手链)—an important part of my teenage summers.Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood，which my kids will never know first-hand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful.But what I remember is the beauty of the offering：slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them.The experience was intoxicating—like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings，it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other，at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them.I wore them all summer long at camp.And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return，as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes.I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends.But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp.They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends.They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件) in chats that only pause but never end.Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets，and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces.There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find.They will have little to physically hold on to.
24．Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule
A．It is faded and worn.
B．It is shaped like a capsule.
C．It reminds her of her childhood.
D．It was made by the author herself.
25．Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “intoxicating” in paragraph 2
A．Exciting. B．Terrible. C．Professional. D．Strange.
26．Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers
A．They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
B．They make more friends at summer camp.
C．They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D．They spend too much time on their cellphones.
27．What can be implied about the friendship bracelets
A．They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold on to.
B．They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know first-hand.
C．They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
D．They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
C
Plenty of harvests of corn and other major crops rely on a mysterious phenomenon known as hybrid vigor(杂交活力)．When highly naturally-born varieties are crossed，their next generations are taller，hardier，and bear more grain.Researchers report that this vigor is somehow influenced by microbes(微生物) in the soil，perhaps through a plant’s immune system.
Charles Darwin was one of the first researchers to describe hybrid vigor.In the early 20th century，biologists began to apply this effect to agriculture by creating naturally-born parent plants that produced hybrid seeds.By the 1940s，almost every farmer in the United States was planting hybrid corn，and the harvests multiplied.
Biologists have proposed several theories about the cause of hybrid vigor，but no definitive explanation has emerged.
Maggie Wagner，plant biologist at the University of Kansas，and her colleagues wondered whether microbes might be involved.Last year，Wagner and her colleagues found an interesting clue in a field study.They discovered that the leaves and roots of hybrid corn had microbial communities that are different from those living on naturally-born varieties of corn.“Something about being a hybrid makes a plant interact differently with microbes，” Wagner says.It could be that the naturally-born corn’s immune systems react more actively to beneficial microbes，compromising their growth.Alternatively，hybrid plants may be better able to defend against weak pathogens(病原体) in the soil.
Wagner says the finding highlights the need for plant growers to match the hybrid crops to the microbial communities with which they live.The findings help scientists realize the importance of understanding the role of soil microbes in making agriculture more productive and sustainable.
28．How did people use the effect of hybrid vigor in agriculture
A．By producing naturally-born parent plants that bore hybrid seeds.
B．By creating naturally-born parent lines that produced hybrid vigor.
C．By providing more microbes communities that could produce more seeds.
D．By looking for hybrid parent plants in the field that produced hybrid seeds.
29．What can we know from paragraph 4
A．Hybrid plants react worse to weak pathogens in the soil.
B．Wagner connected hybrid vigor with microbial communities.
C．Being naturally-born makes a plant interact differently with microbes.
D．Hybrid corn and naturally-born corn have similar microbial communities.
30．What effect would Wagner’s finding have
A．Making farmers know what to grow to resist certain diseases.
B．Helping scientists realize the importance of spreading soil microbes.
C．Showing the significance of associating soil microbes with specific crops.
D．Highlighting the need for plant growers to find more microbial communities.
31．What may be the best title for the text
A．Hybrid Corn: a Double-edged Sword
B．How Can Farmers Grow Hybrid Crops
C．Hybrid Vigor: a Mysterious Phenomenon
D．What Role Do Soil Microbes Play in the Harvests of Corn
D
Scientists have invented a new type of battery that makes it possible to charge electric vehicles in less than 10 minutes.The innovative design for lithiumion(锂离子) batteries involves a record-breaking combination of shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range，according to the Penn State University researchers who came up with it.
“The need for smaller，faster-charging batteries is greater than ever，” said Professor Chaoyang Wang from Penn State University，who led the research.“There are simply not enough batteries and critical raw materials，especially those produced domestically，to meet expected demand.”
The fast-charging technology makes it possible for electric vehicles to downsize from 150 to 50 kWh without shortening range，making them cheaper and more efficient.“The smaller，faster-charging batteries will dramatically cut down battery cost and usage of critical raw materials，such as cobalt，graphite and lithium，enabling mass adoption of affordable electric cars，” said Professor Wang.
The breakthrough centres on a novel method for controlling the temperature of the battery，which is needed to optimize its charge time and performance.Until now，this has involved external heating and cooling systems that are inefficient and waste energy.
Regular batteries have three components—an anode，an electrolyte and a cathode—but the fast-charging system adds a fourth that builds in the temperature control system.An ultrathin layer of nickel(超薄镍层) acts as a stimulus to control the battery’s temperature，allowing for 10-minute fast charging for electric cars.
“True fast-charging batteries would have immediate impact，” the researchers noted.“Since there are not enough raw materials for every internal combustion(燃烧) engine car to be replaced by a 150 kWh-equipped EV，fast charging is vital for EVs to go mainstream and become accessible to the public.”
32．What is the main feature of the innovative battery
A．Longer travel range.
B．Wider recyclable use.
C．Shortened charge time.
D．More energy consumed.
33．What does “this” refer to in paragraph 4
A．The battery’s charge time.
B．The breakthrough in batteries.
C．The battery’s performance.
D．The method of temperature control.
34．Why does the author mention regular battery in paragraph 5
A．To explain a reason.
B．To give instructions.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To highlight an opinion.
35．What do the researchers’ words imply in the last paragraph
A．Electric vehicles depend greatly on raw materials.
B．The fast-charging batteries have a promising future.
C．The 150 kWh-equipped EVs are bound to go mainstream.
D．Internal combustion engine cars will eventually be replaced.

It took so long to organize your room and each closet，but it only takes a few days for you to return to your old bad habits.Learning how to organize something is one thing，but staying organized is a completely different matter.Here is some advice for you to follow through.
Set deadlines for yourself. 36 Therefore，you have to set deadlines.For example，if you have a lot of tasks to finish，you need to set deadlines for each task.This way can urge you to finish all the tasks in an organized way.
37 One of the reasons why you may be struggling to stay organized is that you spend too much time on one task and then leave no time for other things you have to do on a day.Instead of making sure that you do Task A perfectly，make sure that you do a great job of it. 38
Reward yourself for tasks you’ve accomplished.If you want to continue to follow through on staying organized，don’t just do one task and move on. 39 If you never stop to let yourself know what a great job you’re doing，or take a break from time to time，then you’re likely to feel stressed out and refuse to stay organized.
Cooperate as much as you can. 40 If you want to clean your household，you should make sure that anyone else sharing the space with you also does their share of tasks; if you want to keep things running smoothly at work，take responsibilities together with your colleagues.
A．Avoid perfection.
B．Turn to others for advice.
C．Then give yourself enough time to move on.
D．You should reward yourself for saving much time.
E．Instead，give yourself a treat that delights you most.
F．To stay organized，you need to get things done on time.
G．Wanting to stay organized doesn’t mean that you have to do everything alone.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the first week of Mia’s middle school.The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming.She nervously gathered her books，preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Mia followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway.Others walked in groups，chatted，and laughed，using the break to socialize.Mia，instead，walked alone along the wall of the hallway，with her head down.She was a shy girl，afraid to speak in front of other kids，and didn’t think others would like her.
Mia finally sat in Mr Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously.“Welcome to Language Arts，” said Mr Johnson.He told jokes as he talked about English.Mia forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class.“We’ll have some fun with language，” he said.“Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Mia desired.She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway，laughing and joking between classes.Reminded of her pimply(长粉刺的)face，she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper，” the teacher continued，when pointing at words on the blackboard.“Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head.The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house.As she wrote，she could smell the salty air，hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet.For just a moment，she forgot where she was.She was lost in the story.
“OK，pass your papers forward，” said the teacher.“Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time，the teacher read each individual work aloud.Mia originally thought it would be awkward.However，she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice.“He’s actually enjoying this，” she thought.When the class would be soon over，there were still fifteen students’ papers not read，including Mia’s paper.Then，Mr Johnson announced his decision，asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
A week later，the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.
After Mia finished her reading，the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.
