In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-gradeteacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly, long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire him in return.
24. How did the task “Kindness Week Challenge” affect Brennan

C. His good performance at school. D. His ability to earn money for the gifts.
27. How do Ms. Ann’s family feel about Brennan
A. Worried. B. Sorry. C. Thankful. D. Surprised.

Parton’s Imagination Library will provide a free book each month to any Montana child, ages 0 to 5 years old, who is registered with the organization.
“The ability of reading and writing helps the kids a lot with their development. When parents read to their kids or when the kids read alone, books attract them, fire their imagination, and spark their curiosity,” Gianforte said.

A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs. evening exercise for both women and men. Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.
“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”
The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure, the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle（肌肉）gains or mood（心情）improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.
“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.
“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.
He continues, “Sleep—which provides your body the necessary time to recover and make gains from exercise—should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”
32. What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study
A. A fat loss. B. A good mood.
C. A lower blood pressure. D. A smaller risk of heart disease.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Give an example. B. Tell the difference. C. Do an experiment. D. Explain a term.
34. What does Heisz think is important to achieve good results of exercise
A. Enough sleep. B. Low-fat food. C. Plenty of water. D. Lots of exercise.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. A Night Owl or An Early Bird B. Why Fitness Plan Being Important
C. How to Change Your Exercise Time D. The Best Time of a Day to Exercise

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。
The Feynman Technique（费曼学习法）is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
·Find out the topic you want to learn. 36 . Otherwise, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the Feynman Technique— 37 . This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.
·Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You’ll need to critically（批判性地）review the explanation you came up with in Step Two. 38 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply.
·Improve and optimize（优化）your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. 39 .
·Repeat the steps until you’ve achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step until you’re fully satisfied with your explanation. 40 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A. Use those to improve your explanation
B. To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C. Make sure that your explanation is interest-based
D. Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E. The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F. It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learn
G. Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing. We were a group of students just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park. Since we all had different things to buy, we decided to get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Joy headed for a hot dog shop, I decided to go with her. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog, just the way we wanted it. But when we took out our money to pay the bill, the seller surprised us.
“You are the first customers to visit, and the first order is given to you for free,” he said. After we thanked him, we joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted（分心）by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
After we finished eating, we packed our lunch bags and prepared to throw them away.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Elena,
I am writing to tell you my English learning plan for this academic year.
First of all, I will make full use of the time to preview new words at weekends before the class, aiming to master their correct pronunciation and spelling. Second, I will attach much importance to training on after-class reading to expand my vocabularies. Finally, listening to various materials and practising speaking are included in my plan for a better use of the language.
Thank you for your time to read about my plan. I will put my plan into practice, and I believe I can learn English well in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Suddenly, a strong voice came from that homeless person. He asked, “There isn’t any food in the bag, is there ” When others were busy packing the lunch bags, I didn’t know what to say, but “No, we ate it already.” “Oh,” was his only answer, with no blame in his voice at all but a disappointed look. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question. I felt sorry for the man, but I didn’t know what I could do.
Joy asked me to wait for her for a minute and ran to the hot dog shop. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog shop. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog, crossed back, and gave the hungry man the food. When she came near to us, Joy said simply, “I am just passing on the kindness that someone gives to me.” From Joy’s words, I learned how generosity can go farther than the person you give to. By giving, you teach others how to give, too.
