I’m Li Hua. During the summer holiday, a month-long sport walking activity took place in our city
and I as well as several other students took part in this healthy activity.
Every day, people gathered together at the south gate of the local park, and then walked
around the park. Accompanied with active music, we would cover 5 kilometers. For the first few
days, it was easy for me to get tired, but with days going on, walking was not a struggle for me. At
the same time, I felt more confident and less anxious and stressed.
Though the activity was over, I felt I had benefited a lot from this experience and determined
to go on working out.
47．On LinkedIn, Priyanshi made a post all about Sahil and her encounter with him. She
emphasized that he is more than qualified to do great work for someone, even going so far as to
share images of his degree.” If someone has any openings for an office boy, administration work,
customer support etc., please help a fellow out!” she wrote.” I’m not sure whether his appeal was
absolutely genuine or not, but the least we could do is try. Please do like and repast so that it
reaches more people in your network.”
Priyanshi called out for help and folks listened! Her post got over 12,000 reactions, even
though she only shared it five days ago. Some people left their phone number for Sahil to contact
them. Others called Priyanshi expressing their willingness to help with various necessities. And a
man declared he would offer a position to Sahil.Sahil got a job! Both Priyanshi and Sahil were
deeply moved, saying “Thanks everyone who came forward! You are all awesome.” Life can
change in an instant, and we’re so happy that Sahil was able to see that first-hand!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people under lockdown feel lonely and bored.
“There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US.
So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness
and increase positive feelings during the pandemic.
According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing
enjoyable activities that require both concentration (注意力 ) and skill. When people are
absorbed in what they are doing, they enter a state called “flow”, Dattilo explained. “Flow
can be achieved by doing activities that we value and that requires us to concentrate fully to
use our skills.”
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and
试卷第 1页，共 6页
{#{QQABKQQEggAAAAAAAAgCQwkQCAIQkAACAKoGhBAEMAAAwANABAA=}#}
your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex (复杂的 ) computer
program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving
“flow”. On the contrary(相反地), if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow”
will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting
can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you
are.
“When we center a state of flow, we become focused, and we experience momentary
enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how
much time has passed.” However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow,
according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
“People tend to thrive (茁壮成长) on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We
hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives”.
4．What did Dattilo study
A．Why people feel lonely. B．How to reduce loneliness.
C．What enjoyable activities arc. D．Why people like a new challenge.
5．What does the underlined phrase “are absorbed in” probably mean
A．Are good at. B．Are proud of.
C．Are focused on. D．Arc relaxed about.
6．How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state
A．They are lonely and bored. B．They feel stressed and tired.
C．They are concentrating and happy. D．They feel time passes slowly.
7．According to Dattilo, the following activities can help people enter the “flow” state
except________.
A．playing the piano B．Writing C．Painting D．watching television
C
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different
symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a
reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to
get the reward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team,
described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On
one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a
circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the
other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would
be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be
rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the
higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not
just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that
the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the
two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.
The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid
attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分 ) of the smaller
number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr.
Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the
试卷第 2页，共 6页
{#{QQABKQQEggAAAAAAAAgCQwkQCAIQkAACAKoGhBAEMAAAwANABAA=}#}
big number than the little one.”
8．What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them
A．They fed them. B．They named them.
C．They trained them. D．They measured them.
9．How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment
A．By drawing a circle. B．By touching a screen.
C．By watching videos. D．By mixing two drinks.
10．What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys
A．They could perform basic addition. B．They could understand simple words.
C．They could memorize numbers easily. D．They could hold their attention for long.
11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Entertainment. B．Health. C．Education. D．Science.
D
Researchers of the University of Missouri analyzed survey data of 2,300teachers from
Missouri and Oklahoma who were asked to rate how stressed they were at work, if they found
ways to deal with work stress and how satisfied they were with their jobs. The study found
teachers who struggle to deal with the stress of their job report far lower job satisfaction
compared to teachers who find ways to manage the pressure. While the findings were not
particularly surprising, the study highlights how the ability — or inability — to deal with
work stress can be a significant factor contributing to teacher burnout, which ultimately leads
many teachers to leave the profession.
This research confirms that it is necessary to start devoting more time and resources to
helping teachers identify and adopt healthy coping mechanisms (应对机制). Finding ways to
relieve teacher stress and investing in ways to help them deal with stress in positive manners
will pay back in not having to constantly hire and train new teachers all the time. In addition,
keeping experienced teachers will likely benefit student achievement as well.
The researchers explained that positive, healthy coping mechanisms can be quick, easy
and free. One healthy coping mechanism they suggest for stressed teachers is writing and
delivering a short letter of gratitude to a colleague they enjoy working with. Simple things
like increasing positive interactions with students and peers, improving classroom
management skills, and avoiding gossip (闲话) at work can also help.
School principals, district superintendents and school administrators can all play a role
in supporting stressed teachers who may be struggling to cope. They should communicate
with teachers about their concerns, show empathy (共鸣 ) and check in on their health and
well-being to show the care. The overall goal is to create school environments that allow
teachers to develop and give them the tools they need to be successful.
12．Why is it necessary to adopt healthy coping mechanisms for teachers' stress
A．Because it can prevent teachers leaving the profession.
B．Because it helps to replace old teachers with new ones.
C．Because it could help reduce dropout rates of students.
D．Because it contributes to new teachers' train and development.
13．Which of the following disagrees with recommended healthy coping mechanisms
A．They are simple for most teachers.
B．They can take little time and money.
C．They involve many little everyday things.
D．They encourage communication of any kind.
14．How can educational administrators relieve the pressure on teachers
A．By setting up better working conditions for teachers.

{#{QQABKQQEggAAAAAAAAgCQwkQCAIQkAACAKoGhBAEMAAAwANABAA=}#}
B．By asking teachers to increase the student achievement.
C．By requiring teachers to adopt the latest teaching methods.
D．By ordering teachers to improve classroom management skills.
15．What is the text mainly about
A．Reasons for teacher burnout. B．Ways to relieve teacher stress.
C．Skills for classroom management. D．Paths of teacher professional growth.

You never know when a chance encounter will change your life. Sahil Singh certainly
didn’t expect anything to come from yet another delivery he was set to make less than a week
ago with Swiggy, a food delivering service in India.Before the life-changing moment,
however, came a series of events that had Sahil feeling hopeless. It all started when he moved
home.
Years ago, this well-educated young man had a job that gave him a good salary, but his
circumstances since the move have changed drastically. With no other job prospects, he began
working for Swiggy, where he was barely making ends meet. In fact, he found himself in debt
and without a car, a scooter, or even a bike.
Then, on the day of his chance encounter, Sahil found himself completely out of money.
He spent the last of his money on his roommate, who had developed a serious disease,
leaving him with nothing to pay the landlord. To make matters worse, he was given an order
to deliver what would take him nearly two miles, all on foot.
As he worked hard to get the food delivered as soon as possible, the customer, Priyanshi
Chandel, was waiting patiently for her ice cream. After 30 to40 minutes, Sahil finally rang her
doorbell. The state he was in left her shocked.
“I opened the door to see a young man panting for air, sitting on the staircase outside my
flat,” Priyanshi said.” With all my alarms triggering(触发 )within me, I asked him what
happened.”
When given the opportunity to share his story, Sahil graciously took it. Here counted
how he got to where he’s at today, including the fact that he had not eaten for a week and was,
instead, getting by on water and tea.
Wanting to help, Priyanshi offered Sahil all that she could: a glass of water and some
cash. But then, she thought of one more thing she could do that might help.
注意：
1.续写词数为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On LinkedIn,Priyanshi made a post all about Sahil and her encounter with him.
