(24-25高一上·广东佛山·期末)Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. 1 Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living. 2 They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after visiting social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
3 When using social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and hopeless. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. 4 The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying (霸凌)” where people are bullied online when others make negative comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. 5 We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
A.There are a number of reasons for this.
B.Social media requires our close attention.
C.However, people today still miss the life of that time.
D.It is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives.
E.Researchers have found social media may have some negative effects.
F.Even for those people who post positive things, they too can feel stressed.
G.However, for people today it is normal to share pictures of their lives online.

(24-25高一上·河南信阳·期末)Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you lose temper, you make hurried ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. 6 You will also lose your sunny, go-getting nature. What can be done to control anger and prevent it from ruining our lives Here are four ways that you can deal with the causes of anger.
Firstly, you need to change your attitude to the way the world works. You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. 7 Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.
Secondly, don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA.Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. 8
Thirdly, reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. But it is a habit, and habits can be broken. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually causes anger. Anger is a negative reaction. You need to learn not to respond at all. 9
Fourthly, don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when we are angry. 10 However, if you are to stop anger from becoming your master, you must learn control over your anger. In this way, anger will no longer prevent you from achieving a fulfilling life.
In conclusion, you must recognize that anger is something you can control.
A.A reaction like that is the easy way.
B.You will regret rude language spoken without thought.
C.Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.
D.Your anger will not get the emotional food it needs to survive in this way.
E.Many ordinary folks also get angry about certain aspects in their daily life.
F.Some people believe that lessening anger by shouting or hitting a pillow is helpful.
G.They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice.

(24-25高一上·山东泰安·期末)Life is full of disconnected events, and memory allows us to connect those events and form our stories. Our memories make up who we are and help us to imagine possible future scenarios (设想). How do we form new memories 11 .
Short-Term Memory
For new information to go into long-term memory, it must pass through short-term memory. The contents of short-term memory are forgotten rapidly and are lost unless practiced. More practice means paying more attention. Besides, we learn new knowledge by linking it to what we already understand. 12 .
Pay Attention
Attention is necessary for creating a memory for anything. We remember what we pay attention to. 13 . We tend to pay attention to what we find interesting, meaningful, new, surprising, and emotional. Nothing focuses the mind like surprise. For example, although one may completely enjoy a particular conversation, the same conversation a second time around would not be so interesting.
Emotional Importance
The experience of emotion strengthens our memories. Events and information that excite strong emotions also tend to matter to us. You will never forget some events, such as the joy of the birth of your first child, or your wedding day. 14 . As time passes, our memories change from storing the specifics of what happened to storing the general meaning of the event. As the saying goes, “Time heals all wounds.”
15
Stress can lead to memory losses, such as the common experience of mentally blanking during a high-pressure examination or interview. Thus, worrying about how you will perform on a test may contribute to a lower test score. Such thoughts will decrease your ability to learn new information and get back previously learned information.
A.Stress Can affect Learning
B.Bad feelings Limit Learning
C.We always have to build on what we know
D.However, memories tend to become less vivid over time
E.The following tips will help you keep your memory sharp at any age
F.Memory losses usually happen because we were not paying attention
G.Therefore, memories tend to become stronger with time passing by

(24-25高一上·福建福州·期末)Working on and on
Who do you hold in higher regard: Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, who said he wakes up at 4 am and is the last to leave the office, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who said he won’t work past 6 pm on Fridays 16
17 In the Roman Empire, rich people divided their day between business and leisure, with business only conducted in the morning. US economist Thorstein Veblen once wrote in his book that abstention from work becomes a mark of monetary achievement.
18 Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest people, works about 100hours a week. US Researchers found that those who work more than 40 to 45 hours a week are usually in “highly paid professional positions”. Regardless of the profession, a culture of overwork has become popular in the US, as long hours are seen as a sign of career success.
As Time magazine noted, one reason behind this change is “the rise of knowledge-intensive (知识密集型的) economies”. On the supply side, workers focus heavily on education and skill development, believing their knowledge and skills are their most valuable wealth. On the demand side, companies and organizations compete to attract top talent. 19 This trend is fueled by the increasing competition in the global market.
20 Study shows that the professions with the largest income gaps are also the ones where people are most likely to work more than 40 hours a week. This indicates that highly paid professionals are more willing to accept a busy schedule because, if they don’t, there are plenty of lower-paid workers ready to take their jobs.
A.Today, however, reality is different.
B.Rising financial insecurity is another factor.
C.People stay busy in pursuit of status and self-worth.
D.Working long hours is a necessity to support family responsibilities.
E.Historically, long work hours weren’t associated with wealth or status.
F.In other words, long work hours imply that an individual is in high demand.
G.The answer seems obvious in the US where busyness has become a symbol of high status.

(24-25高一上·黑龙江·期末)Many people want to know more about ways to be kinder, more caring neighbors. 21
Get to know your neighbors.
22 Make an effort to learn their names and what they do for work. And if you feel comfortable, let them know that you’re there to help, if they ever need another hand. Or it’s truly as simple as saying hello, introducing yourself and asking an open-ended question.
Make small kind gestures a daily practice.
Another way to take care of your neighborhood, and to show your neighbors that you care, is by making small acts of kindness in a daily practice. 23 Remember, every small gesture counts.
Remind yourself that being connected feels good.
It can feel so easy to just go home, close your door and turn on the TV without having to make small talk. 24 Reaching out to new people can actually make you happy in the long run. And if you take the first step, your small acts of kindness can encourage others to pay that kindness forward. That action will make even more people feel good.
25
Encouraging your kids to get out there and engage with your neighbors is important, but it isn’t always easy to balance this with conversations on safety and the so-called stranger danger. One way to fight against this stranger danger outlook is by going out of your comfort zone and engaging with different people in your neighborhood alongside your kids.
A.Meet and engage with different people.
B.Below are some tips for you.
C.However, connecting with others is worth the effort.
D.It’s great to meet people with the same interests and passion.
E.Good neighbors are of great benefit to all the people in the community.
F.This can be cleaning up litter or even cleaning up after the pets on your block.
G.Getting to know your neighbors is the first step to becoming a kinder neighbor.

(24-25高一上·河南开封·期末)What To Do When You’re Jealous Of Your Best Friends’ Grades
You’ve just received your final grades and they’re not exactly what you were hoping for. To make matters worse, your best friends’ grades have got you green with envy. Try not to panic. We’ve put together some tips to help you manage.
Be happy for them.
First things first, make sure you start things off right by congratulating them for doing well this semester. We’re not going to lie, this can be hard when you’re filled with jealousy (忌妒), but your best friend has worked for it and they deserve to be celebrated. Don’t hate them for their achievements. 26
Face up to your feelings.
In saying that, being happy for your best friend doesn’t mean you should repress (压抑) your feelings. 27 Ask yourself where this jealousy is coming from and whether your best friend getting a better grade than you actually matters in the long run. Getting to the root of these feelings is an important first step to overcoming your jealousy.
Use it as motivation.
Feeling jealous doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The fact that you’re envious of your friend’s grades means you care about your studies. The best thing to do in this situation is to use your jealousy as motivation to do better and make efforts to improve your own grades. Figure out where you went wrong and learn from your mistakes. Don’t focus all your energy on’ feeling upset. 28
Focus on what you learned, not the grades you received.
29 Rather than worrying about your grades, try to focus on the knowledge and skills you learned throughout the semester and how they helped you improve as a person.
30
The fact that your best friend received a higher grade than you doesn’t mean you’re a failure. We need to stop using other people’s successes as a measure for our own self-worth. Life isn’t a competition. Focus on your own strengths, appreciate yourself more, and soon enough your jealousy will just melt away.
A.Try not to compare yourself to others.
B.Try to be honest with how you’ re feeling.

(24-25高一上·贵州黔西·期末)All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. 36 . So everyone can do something to help the environment. Here are a few ideas.
Save energy.
First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs (灯泡), which can save much electricity. 37 . For example, you can take shorter showers. Also, turning off the tap as you brush your teeth can save much water, too.
38 .
If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding seems to be a better choice, because it can help cut down the air pollution. You can also choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway.
Say no to waste.
39 . Don’t take more than you can eat. Growing food needs much work. Moreover, get long life out of things you own by taking good care of them. If something is broken, don’t just throw it away. You can try to fix it or use it to make something else.

(24-25高一上·江苏南京·期末)In life, everyone wants to have friends who he or she can trust forever. 41 It is scary because in most cases you have to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there.
However, once the strangeness becomes a thought of the past, it becomes much easier to talk to potential new friends. 42 Overcome the shyness of meeting new people and be yourself. Start out with a simple conversation like “Hello, I like your coat” or a discussion about the weather. Those icebreakers will give you the time to feel comfortable and help you open the floor for future conversations.
43 It can be attending a book club or maybe just enjoying a cup of coffee. Making new friendships means learning about someone and sharing stories about each other’s life. Think of your new friendship as a plant. In order to grow, you have to water it and provide it with sunlight. 44 If you want to make new friends, you have to be willing to make the effort. Keep in mind that some people are more outing than others and it’s okay to be reserved (矜持). But it’s necessary to make use of opportunities to develop your newly-found friendship.
One thing to be cautious about, when you meet new people, is to be always genuine (真诚的). 45 If you don’t like fishing or running, then don’t pretend that you do just so someone will be friends with you. Find people that share common interests and goals and build your friendship. Then you’ll find it’s much easier to keep friendships.
A.Friendships are quite similar.
B.Friendships are great support systems.
C.In most cases, you are your biggest road block.

(24-25高一上·重庆·期末)Winter is a season when you really prove your love of hiking. It demands proper commitment — with more efforts and more risks. 46 With sufficient knowledge and safety tips, harsh winter conditions shouldn’t discourage you from hitting the traits (路径).
Know how to navigate. Phone apps rely on a GPS signal and also an internet connection — both of which can be unstable. Since you never know when you'll find yourself having to plan a course in a dead zone, making backup navigation is essential. Just make sure you know how to use a compass and read a map.
47 In winter, the days are shorter, backpacks are heavier and the conditions underfoot can be exhausting. It's wise to plan your routes accordingly by choosing trails less challenging or areas less affected by sudden weather changes. And if Mother Nature throws you a last minute curveball — adapt.
Know who to call in an emergency. 48 You may not have internet connection to look up who to call while you're out, so it's better to hope for the host but prepare for the worst. Plus, in the event of you needing assistance, research what information the rescue service will require before and once they reach you.
Wear appropriate gear (衣服). Don’ wear anything made of cotton as it sucks the heat out of your body when it's wet. Start with a wool base layer, and then add insulated (绝缘的) layers. 49
One final thing: don’t forget a power bank for your phone. 50 You’ll need it not just as a safety measure, but also because you're likely to take lots of pictures.
A.Check your ambition.
B.Watch out for weather changes.
C.Thick jumpers and waterproof shells are on top.
D.Nothing damages your battery power quite like cold weather.
E.And it's also an ideal time to dive into nature and get the most out of it.
F.And in return, it gives you a deeper and richer sense of the great outdoors.
G.Save the local rescue service numbers on everyone's phones before hiking.

(24-25高一上·安徽蚌埠·期末)Have you ever come back from a vacation feeling more tired than you were Most travellers often need to rush from one tourist attraction to another. 66 Slow travel means renting an apartment for a week or more and exploring your surroundings on foot or by car. It can also mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next so that you can see the scenery along the way. But no matter how you do it, the key is slowing down. 67
Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting. 68 It allows you not only to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall naturally into the pace of another culture.
69 While airplanes are considered as a contributor to Earth warming, trains are much more eco-friendly — so are bikes and your own two feet! And even travelling by car becomes less damaging to the environment when you’re only driving short distances.
Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well. Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs. 70 They allow you to cook your own food. If you choose a home hotel, you’ll save more money.
Therefore, slow travel is an increasingly popular choice for people to enrich their travel experiences.
A.Now,a new movement appears as a solution to tiring travel: slow travel.
B.You’ ll have enough time to know your neighbors or local shops well.
C.Slow travel is friendlier to the environment than other types of travel.
D.The slow traveller takes time to explore places as many as possible.
E.Vacation rentals are often cheaper than hotels.

G.That is the problem of slow travel.

(24-25高一上·云南曲靖·期末)As December approaches, the festive season arrives. From office Christmas gatherings to New Year’s Eve celebrations, socializing instills fear in many people. If all the parties over the festive period stressed you out, the first thing to say is you’re not alone. 71
The reason for this is the way we evolved (进化). 72 That’s why we have instincts (本能) to care a lot about social stuff, are so concerned about things like status and reputation, and are afraid that we might embarrass ourselves or be excluded.
But don’t forget, social occasions can also be an opportunity, not just a threat. 73 So as an initial step towards easing your anxiety, try boosting your hopefulness about these events. For example, remind yourself of occasions — however rare they might be — when things went well and you had a fun time or you made new friends.
74 Rather than waiting for the obligations (义务) to roll in and hang over you like a dark cloud, be clear about which ones you really want. If there are friends you’d love to go with, don’t wait for them to ask you—reach out and make it happen.
Indeed, excessive (过度的) self-focus is one of the main drivers of social anxiety. Constantly monitoring your own behaviour and words will fuel your nerves and lead you to act more awkwardly. 75 You can even give yourself another if-then plan to help with it: if I find myself being self-focused, then I’ll make a conscious effort to focus on what someone is saying or wearing. Like all challenges in life we find difficult, socializing gets easier with practice.
A.Next, be a little active and strategic.
B.Don’t overestimate others’ opinions of you.
C.Your friends probably like you more than you imagine.
D.You can redirect your attention outwards to reduce anxiety.
E.In fact, feeling anxious about socializing is incredibly common.
F.Throughout history, humans need to work in groups for survival.
G.They’re chances to build shared memories, bond and have fun together.
