At the beginning of Grade Two，I joined the cross﹣country running team in our school.
When I came to the first practice，I was filled with optimism.But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased from three to four，to six miles，I realized with surprise that no matter how hard I tried，I wasn't able to run as fast as others.In fact，I was one of the slowest on the team.
What was the point of putting myself through so much pain？After the first few weeks，I wanted to quit.
Then we had our first cross﹣country meet.
When we started the race，I felt the great pressure of expectations sink onto my shoulders.And after a while I stopped running and struggled to walk up the hill.But then I heard my coaches shouting my name from the top of the hill.I felt confused and embarrassed；why were they cheering for me？I was running terribly!As I tried my best to finish the race，I realized that my coaches didn't care how fast I ran.Neither did my teammates.During the rest of the season，they were always on the sidelines of every race，cheering for me just as loudly as they'd cheered for the front runner.
From then on，I began to put my effort into supporting my teammates instead of focusing on my own performance.In that way，I celebrated my teammates' victories as if they were my own；I felt their pain and exhaustion as if they were my own.
Cross﹣country running made me realize I don't need to be the best to be successful in life.It taught me to value my relationships with people more than my relationship with my ego.It taught me to cheer for others even if I don't know their names.
24.Why did the author want to give up after the first few weeks？
A.He had much pain in his knees.

C.Considerate and supportive.
D.Optimistic and humorous.

D.started caring about his teammates
27.What did the author realize from his experience？
A.The importance of team spirit

It's just past 7 a.m.on a February morning in Maya Bay，several weeks after authorities
reopened what is one of Thailand's most popular tourist attractions to the world for the first time
since June 2018 following a massive restoration program.
In the hours to follow，a slow but steady flow of tourists becomes in great numbers as dozens of tourists make their way to the white﹣sand beach，phones at the ready as they take photos.Swimming is not allowed，though visitors can take a few steps in.It's disappointing，but a huge improvement over what visitors once experienced here.
Maya Bay is located in a Thailand's national park.The destination was made famous by the 2000 film The Beach，starring Leonardo DiCaprio.As the film's popularity grew，so did tourists' desire to visit the location where much of it was shot —Maya Bay.
"Around 40 years ago，Maya Bay was already a tourism destination，but mainly for Thai tourists because you didn't have speedboats at that time，" says Thon，a marine biologist and professor who requested authorities to close the bay four years ago.Over the years，the number of tourists rose from less than 1，000 to as many as 7，000 or 8，000 visitors a day at its peak.On average，around 5，000 people entered the bay each day.
In 2018，the Thai government closed the bay and began to restore the damaged ecosystem.
Since then，Thon and a team of fellow marine experts and volunteers have replanted over 30，000 pieces of coral，much of it grown off the coast of a nearby island.Meanwhile，the wildlife also returned and has been growing. "Only three months after we closed the bay，the blacktip sharks came back and gave birth…so there are a lot of things happening in Maya Bay."
28.What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us about Maya Bay？
A.Its business hours.
B.Its massive restoration
C.Its huge improvement.
D.Its reopening.
29.What does the underlined "it" refer to in the third paragraph？
A.Maya Bay.
B.The 2000 film The Beach.
C.Leonardo DiCaprio.
D.A Thailand's national park.
30.The numbers in paragraph 4 are introduced mainly to show ？
A.The benefit from tourism.
B.The long history of Maya Bay.
C.The rapid growth in tourists.
D.The reason for the film's popularity.
31.From the passage we learn that
A.The protection efforts for Maya Bay was a little late.
B.The protection efforts for Maya Bay has no support from the government.
C.The protection efforts for Maya Bay remains to be seen whether it's useful.
D.The protection efforts for Maya Bay has been effective.

Did your mother ever say you'll feel better after a good cry？It turns out Mom is right
as usual﹣crying really is healthy.What's more，letting yourself feel blue and accepting those feelings will help you feel better in the long run，according to a new research.
In three separate studies both online and in a lab，researchers at UC Berkeley evaluated the responses from 1，300 adults regarding their psychological（心理的）health and emotional well﹣being（幸福感）.In one study，1，000 participants filled out a survey evaluating how they felt about the statement，"I tell myself I shouldn't be feeling the way that I'm feeling."Those who agreed with the statement scored lower on tests of well﹣being..In other words，letting yourself feel bad is better for your mind and mood than trying to control negative thoughts.
"We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions，which adds to better psychological health，"said study senior author Iris Mauss，PhD，an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley in an article on the university's website.
In a society where the importance to be happy is emphasized daily on the other social media platforms，letting yourself be down in the dumps can be tough.Just remember that true happiness isn't always what people say it is.
"It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our well﹣being，"said study lead author Brett Ford，PhD，an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto."People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to deal with their stress more successfully."
So next time someone tells you to"turn that frown upside down"，ignore them.Embrace your inner feelings for a while.
32.How did the researchers carry out one of the studies？
A.They gave the participants different tests.
B.They compared their own thoughts with others.
C.They studied the participants' everyday experiences.
D.They compared the participants' thoughts and their feelings.
33.What does the underlined part "be down in the dumps"in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Be lonely.
B.Be depressed.
C.Be positive.
D.Be comfortable.
34.What did Brett Ford try to show in Paragraph 5？
A.It is better for people to accept negative emotions.
B.We should never try to change others' thoughts.
C.People who accept themselves are happier.
D.Positive people tend to be less stressed.
35.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Turn your frown upside down
B.Crying is good for our health
C.Stop having bad feelings.
D.Stop feeling the way that you're feeling

How’s everything going I am sorry to know that you are feeling confused (and overwhelmed with the transition to senior one). Don’t worry too much as this is a common feeling among many students. The important thing is to stay positive and keep pushing forward.
Here are some suggestions that might help you. To begin with, creating a study plan allows you to manage your time effectively and avoid always being late. Secondly, just be brave to ask for help when needed. (Seek assistance from teachers, classmates, or family members.) Lastly, you might as well participate in some sports activities to have a rest and relaxation, which also makes a difference. (Go for a walk, listen to music, or engage yourself in any other activity helping you unwind.)
Would you like to come and join me in some physical activities to relax We can go for a run, or play basketball. I believe that you can overcome this challenging time. Good luck with your studies!
Mike
67. That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. He had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new cellphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.” Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Kevin asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone I’m Keith. I have your
cellphone. Can you come and get it ” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the cellphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.
