Promise Sawyers, a 10-year-old girl in Nashville, Tenn., is inspiring people old and young after making a video before going to school “bigger and better” with her natural hair, just one day after she was made fun of for her afro.
Promise Sawyers’ motivational video was posted online by her mom Qui Daugherty, after the 5th-grader secretly recorded it on Daugherty’s phone. In it, Sawyers explained that she was feeling “some type of way” after her classmates had mean things to say after she wore her natural hair the day before. But she was determined not to let it bring her down, and wore it the same way the following day. “Don’t allow anyone to steal your joy,” Promise said. “Don’t give them that much power.”
Daugherty says that Promise has been surrounded by that type of positivity her whole life. She’s always taught her daughter to “meet a negative with a positive”, even when somebody is trying to bring her down. And although this example seems like one of the more disheartening( 令人气馁的) ones that Promise has faced after starting at a new school, her video proved that she took her mom’s advice to heart.
Now, nearly 2 million views later, people everywhere are responding to the video. “We had no idea the impact that it was going to make and the amount of messages,” Daugherty said. “It’s made a huge impact behind the scenes that has blessed me personally.”
Daugherty jokes that Promise doesn’t understand how influential her words are. Instead, the 10-year-old is just excited about the millions of views.
“I just tell her not to focus on the numbers,” Daugherty says. “Let’s find a way we can be impactful behind this and make an influence and inspire people. That’s all we want.”
24. What does the underlined word “afro” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
20
A. A hairstyle. B. A disability. C. An attitude. D. A video.
25. What did Promise decide to do after being teased by her classmates?
A. Seek some advice from her mother.
B. Make herself look bigger and better.
C. Record her sadness on video silently.
D. Keep wearing the same hair to school.
26. What will Daugherty advise Promise to do when there’s something disheartening?
A. Switch to a new start. B. Look on the bright side.
C. Make necessary changes. D. Share her joy with others.
27. How did Daugherty feel about people’s response to the video?
A. Embarrassed. B. Worried. C. Confused. D. Surprised.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?
In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to attract customers.
You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（ 配件）unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.
It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.
The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.
28.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?
A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.
B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.
C.The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.
D.Many problems of usability known by the consumers.
29.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A.It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.
20
B.What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.
C.Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.
D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product
30.What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?
A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.
B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.
C.They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.
D.They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy Thing
B.Feature-heavy Products in Demand
C.The More Features, the Better
D.Simplicity Outweighs Complexity

Once March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).
The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit (脱欧) deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.
On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.
More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!
32. Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?
A. To wait for a new Brexit deal. B. To make a no-deal Brexit plan.
C. To meet Theresa May’s request. D. To have a better ties with the EU.
33. What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Conservative Party. B. Labor Party.
C. Theresa May’s Brexit deal. D. The no-deal Brexit.
34. What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?
A. Leave Germany within three months.
B. Continue to live and work in Germany.
20
C. Obtain living permits in the specific time.
D. Hand in the their passports as soon as possible.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present situation of the Brexit?
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Ambiguous. D. Surprised.

“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 36 They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm? 37 According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “ fuel for the storm ,like petrol in a car. “
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 38 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
39 First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system ,calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 40
A. Science has given us the answer.
B. There is no definite answer to the question.
C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.
D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.
E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.
F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.
G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.

Lady and gentlemen,
Welcome. Let me introduce my hometown to you. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful countryside with me as your guide.
In first glance, my hometown is a very ordinary place, which is not different from any another town. There are two thousand people living here, but very little shops or restaurants, so people have to go to the mall in the city. Why does travelers come from all over the country to visit our town then? Some of the scenery in this area ranks among best in the country. It is a place where you can see many tall maple trees, that wide roads run alongside farms, and where a big river flows with countless ducks on it. With such many beautiful things to see, my hometown appeals to many professional photographers.
I think you will have a good time there.

People in different countries have their own ways of celebrating May Day. In today’s program, I’ll share some ways of celebrating May Day in some countries.
In France, people touch cows that are walking on the street. They also drink milk directly from cows on the morning of the day. They do that for good luck.
In Greece children go from door to door and sing songs of spring on May Day. They usually receive something to eat from their neighbors.
In England, children visit from house to house. They bring flowers in exchange for pennies. But they don’t use the money to buy anything. They throw them into a wishing well.
In Italy, boys often sing to the girls they love.
So how do people in our country celebrate it? Well, in the US, children ring doorbells of relatives and friends then run away leaving flowers there as a surprise.
That’s all for today. Thanks for your listening.

【答案】
Dear Tom,
Here comes a piece of good news. Chinese Winter Camp, which is intended for international students, is going to be held in our school this summer vacation. Since you are obsessed with Chinese culture, I'd like to invite you to join it.
The Camp is scheduled to last 11 days, from December 18 to December 28. It covers a wide variety of cultural activities, ranging from studying Chinese daily expressions to attending some lectures on Chinese history and traditional culture. As we all know, language is closely related to culture, so I'm convinced that you can dig out Chinese cultural features from language study. In addition, the Camp provides a chance for you to visit some famous museums, which is the best way to learn about the country. By admiring the historical relics, you will definitely gain a better understanding of the country.
If you want to be part of it, please sign up for it before December 2d at our school website. Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,
Li Hua
