Glenda and Raphael Savitz moved to Newton in 2016. They found themselves
welcomed into the neighbourhood with truly open arms. Three months later, they gave
birth to Samantha. Unluckily, she was born entirely deaf. The neighbourhood was still
excited to welcome little Samantha, of course, but they were worried about her parents.
The neighbours wanted to do something to make things easier for the family. All
the neighbourhood agreed to take on the responsibility of learning an entirely second
language all for their youngest member. Samantha would grow up learning to “speak”
American Sign Language, so her friends and neighbours would learn to speak it right
along with her. The group of 18 residents employed a sign language teacher and the
whole neighbourhood except Glenda and Raphael Savitz began to learn American Sign
Language in a neighbour's big living room. They believed people everywhere wished to have a community with something positive around and Samantha was bringing about a
reason for them to get together.
The neighbours went on learning hard and kept things secret for as long as possible.
They wanted thirstily to communicate with the little girl. Finally, the time had come to
show Raphael, Glenda, and Samantha what they had done. The family found themselves
deeply moved by the welcoming signs of their friends and neighbours. Glenda recalled
it as one of the most affecting experiences she'd ever felt. A present for Samantha would
have made her grateful, and this was so much more. Now after neighbours say hello to
her parents, they bend down to greet three-year-old Samantha with sign language. At
every turn, in the street, the grocery store, or by the canal, Samantha feels included.
4．Which of the following can best describe the neighbourhood?
A. Generous. B. Tolerant. C. Warm. D. Prejudiced.
5．What was the neighbours' decision for helping the Savitz?
A. Collecting money online. B. Learning the sign language.
C. Companying Samantha all the time. D. Teaching Samantha a second language.
6．What did the neighbours think of Samantha?
A. She forced her parents to struggle hard.
B. She set up an example for other children.
C. She caused the situation of her family's poverty.
D. She was an affectional bond of the neighbourhood.
7．What can be the best title for the text?
A. Neighborhood Welcomes A Newborn Baby With Sign Language
B. Neighborhood Takes A Newborn Deaf Baby As Sign Language Teacher
C. Neighborhood Learns Sign Language To Communicate With New Family
D. Neighborhood Learns Sign Language To Comfort Unfortunate New Parents

People who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than
those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California,
Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly
more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing
those genes.
"There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的)
brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who
led the research team.
In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been
trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental
abilities. They found that right-and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a
person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who
do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific
gene for left-handedness.
Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are
concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language
abilities of left-handers more often, are concentrated on the right side.
The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双
生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the
gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can
develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.
The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very
similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains
were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand
preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.
8．What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?
A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.
B. Right-handers have more flexible brains.
C. Left-handers' brains are more one- sided.
D. Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.
9．Which element determines a person's hand preference?
A. Environment. B. Intelligence. C. Habit. D. Gene.10．What can be said about identical twins?
A. They always have similar brain structure.
B. They never carry the gene for hand preference.
C. They have different genes for hand preference.
D. They can have different hand preference.
11．What did the UCLA team research on?
A. People's genetic makeup. B. People's hand preference.
C. People's brain sizes. D. People's communicative skills.
D
The age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on
us in many different ways.
It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we don't really have to
remember much of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu
is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People aren't digging through their brains
anymore to find answers. Here's the good news: we can still exercise our long-term
memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we don't want to go down that road, we
can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of
an enemy.
It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In
fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our
minds. This idea of instant satisfaction carries through to many other aspects of our
lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace
accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful
meditations (沉思).Focus on our breath and realize everything doesn't have to move at
lightening speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on
our Pandora, too!
It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day?
Whether we're doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing a
research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we haven't used Baidu
Drive, we should keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings
exactly where we can easily find them. Keep a running list of websites we know we'll
revisit.
Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side
effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we don't have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp
and don't let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu god's bidding.
12．Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat”?
A. at one point B. in no time C. in a way D. at a loss
13．Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?
A. We depend on ourselves too much.
B. We can't get everything with Baidu.
C. We can't get quick services in real life.
D. We get used to Baidu's quick convenience.
14．What is the author's advice on saving time online?
A. Using Baidu Drive. B. Keeping papers correctly.
C. Being efficient with work. D. Emptying websites records timely.
15．What does the text mainly tell us?
A. The side effects of Baidu and solutions.
B. The advantages and functions of Baidu.
C. The technology and influence of the Internet.
D. The disadvantages and risks of the Internet.

Tips to Increase Your Productivity
Want to get more done in your day? Of course you do. 16．The good news is that
everyone can increase the amount of tasks they accomplish in a day. Here are some tips to help you have a more productive day.
Make a plan for your day. Make sure you know how you want your day to go in
advance, even before you start. 17． To work best, create the next day’s plan the night
before so that every morning you spend time performing, not planning.
Break large tasks down into bits accomplished easily. Do you have a large project
that’s just so big that you keep putting it off? Or maybe you’re just unsure of where to
begin, so you put it off. 18．Therefore, you will feel a sense of accomplishment as you
check the items of your list.
Always set your priorities (优先事项). 19． Figure out what must be done, do that
first and rank the rest of your work according to importance. If you don’t get to the
items at the end of your list, it won’t be a big problem, and you can do them another
time.
20． If you are the most productive in the morning, that’s when you should hit it
hard and do as much as you can. If you work better in the afternoon, take care of some
things like emails in the morning and then accomplish the important projects in the
afternoon. Keep on top of your work habits, and you’ll be more productive.
A. Reward yourself if you are productive.
B. This can provide you a roadmap for the day.
C. Be aware of when you are the most productive.
D. It’s tough to meet depressed people who are productive.
E. It’s important to accomplish the most important tasks first.
F. A good way is to break the project down into more manageable ones.
G. To stay competitive in any industry, you need to improve your productivity.

A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on 21 management. As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the class 22 they
would be asked the “half-empty or half-full” question. 23 , that was not the case.
With a smile on her face, she asked the students, “How much do you think this glass of
water weighs?”
Answers called out 24 from eight to twenty ounces (盎司).
She quieted the students down and then replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t
25 . But it counts how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it
for an hour, I will have an ache in my 26 . If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel
numb. In each case, the 27 of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the 28
I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why?”
Lost in 29 , all the students kept silent and listened to the professor
carefully.
“Our stresses and 30 in life are like that glass of water. If we 31
our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will feel exhausted, even unable to
32 .”
33 you have to do is put all your burdens down, as 34 in the
evening as possible. Don’t carry them through the evening into the night; by doing this,
we can get 35 next morning and are 36 to move forward.
More often than not, life gets terrible when we 37 too much. And the
moment you 38 your burdens, you’ll find yourself feeling so much more
relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling 39 for yourself, start doing
something about it. After all, life is too short to 40 yourself to anything that is
not making you happy.

Around three in five people in the UK will find 41 necessary to care for
all elderly or a disabled loved one at some point．This can be made much 42
(easy)by bearing in mind a few simple principles and pieces of advice.
43 (care)for an elderly loved one most likely a parent，is never easy．It can
cause great pain emotionally and 44 (physical)and the financial challenges can
sometimes seem difficult to deal with，too．
Often one of the hardest things is striking a balance between your parent’s desire 45 (feel) independent and the need to ensure that they are safe and their health
needs are being attended to. Sometimes this can create tensions and 46 (argue)，only
adding to the stress of an already difficult situation．It is important here to make them
feel that they are being listened to and 47 you only have their best interests at
heart．
The same applies 48 financial issues．In order to cover the costs of their
parent’s care—including bills and medicine—many people will investigate options such

Dear Mike,
I'm more than delighted to receive your letter and really appreciate your concern about my
family's health at this very moment. I'm writing to tell you about what we've done and how I feel.
Over the past three months, the novel coronavirus has spread around China. As a consequence,
we're required to stay indoors and avoid contact with others. Every time we have to go out, we must
wear protective masks. When coming back from outside, we should wash hands thoroughly and air
the room. In addition, as senior three students, we're instructed to take online courses conducted by
our teachers who also selflessly answer our questions after class, improving our study.
For us Chinese, the ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus is both a crisis and a big test.
Luckily, with arduous work and courageous devotion of the government and thousands of doctors
and nurses, the outbreak is under control and the number of infected people is steadily declining.
With joint efforts, we will surely defeat it.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours
Li Hua
