Has a person ever warmly held a door open for you How do you feel after playing with friends And what would you say is your favourite family memory These questions have one thing in common: they’re all about connecting with people. “Let’s Connect” is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental (心理的) Health Week. It improves mental health by building healthy social connections.
Humans naturally connect with others, whether that’s family, friends or people in our community. Healthy connections give people energy and support we all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren’t just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us to live along life. Research suggests being lonely can slowly harm your health. Humans’ need for connection is different from person to person, but what’s important is not how many relationships you have, but how good your relationships are.
Then how to connect with others “You can reach out and connect with people in so many different ways,” says Julia Clements of Place2Be, the organizer behind Children’s Mental Health Week. You can connect in person or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates. It’s not just people, either. “Some people feel connected with their pets or in nature,” says Clements. She advises making time to build more connections-through-actions. as well as words. Being kind, listening to others and trying new experiences are all good tools.
Everybody may-feel-lonely sometimes and refuse to talk to others. Keep in mind that connections change-some become stronger, while others stop. “Remember that there are always people that care for you,” advises Clements. She says it’s important to tell someone you trust about how you are feeling, or safe organizations such as Childline or Shout. They can help, whether you’re looking to form new connections or repair a strained (紧张) relationship that is important to you.
38. The writer uses three questions in the beginning to ________.
A. express worries about humans B. lead into the topic “social connections”
C. introduce health problems D. interest readers in family memory

40. Clements may agree that ________.
A. it is better to connect with pets than people
B. using words is the best way to build connections
C. people should only communicate with others face to face
D. talking to others can be helpful to a lonely person
41. The passage is most probably written for ________.
A. teachers B. parents C. children D. doctors

Taking a great photo is not easy and there are lots of things to consider. How do you choose and organize your subjects within your photo 46 Here are some tips from the art, design and photography lovers. .
Find a focus (焦点). When taking a picture, ask yourself, “What’s the focus ” If you are taking a picture of a crowded street, choose a subject which draws your eye. 47 If it’s a landscape photo of a field, the focus could be a big tree.
48 It’s a bit boring to put your subject right in the middle. Place it a little on the left or right of your photo. Imagine your photo is divided into a three-by-three grid (网格) of boxes. One of the corners of your central square is where your focus should be.
Make colorful contrasts (对比). Color in a picture is more easily noticed if it has a contrast. 49 They will stand out more if they are taken beside a grey stone wall, or photographed in a bright blue sky.
Try different angles (角度). To add more interest to a photo, try taking it from different angles. This means you need to move around, taking photos from different sides, from above or from below. For example, if you photograph a building from a plane, it looks tiny; but a photo of the same building looking up from the street makes it look big. 50
Practice makes perfect. Try everything for the perfect shot.
A. Place the photo in the right place. B. It can tell a different story. C. Remember the rule of thirds. D. Think about focus, color, light and more. E. It could be a person wearing bright colors. F. If you take a picture of yellow flowers, don’t fill your picture with them. G. You will be crazy about taking photos if you practise more.

Hello, I’m David Smith. Now I’d like to share with you the story of how music has had a strong influence on my life.
Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, I had a pain on my body all the time. So I went to the doctor. I was told I had a serious illness which was difficult to cure. And I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so lonely and sad.
Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so she played some music for me, and one of the songs was Happy, which has been my favorite song till now. This positive (积极的) and uplifting song gave me strength and helped me go through the darkness. From then on, I began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan once said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music helped me get well and come back to life.
Of course, I hope none of you have to experience the same kind of pain that I did. However, we all have some periods when we feel sad or lonely. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will value music and make it a part of your life.
74. What did the doctor tell David Smith two years ago
75. How did the song Happy help David
