One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on. She had a
child with her who was about three or four years old. The bus was full, bumpy（颠簸的）, and
it soon got noisy, as her kid began crying — he was upset that he couldn't sit next to his mother.
She looked embarrassed.
Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could
sit together. The mum smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older
woman's mouth that raised the entire energy of that bus ride: “I've been there.”
Simple, undramatic, and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite the diverse people of
the city. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. They're universal.
We forget that as we go through life, focused on our own troubles and needs — which are
actually less unique than we think.
Sometimes painful past experiences prevent us from wanting to open up to others because
we don't want to revisit our own history. But a wonderful way to honor your past hurt is to help
comfort another's current pain.
When I was a little girl, we lived on donations from local families and clothing from the " lost and found" baskets. It was shameful for me at the time — I lived in fear of being caught in a
friend' s cast-off item.
Even when it was warmer, I refused to take off a layer in the classroom for this reason.
Now I don't meet people who are in this exact situation, but I do notice when someone is
struggling with financial shame or feels less than other people they meet. And I'm quick to say
some version of, "I've been there."
Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be
as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice, or even lightening the mood
with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable — because we're all in this together.
4．What influence did the older woman's words have on the people around?
A．Causing discomfort. B．Breaking long silence.
C．Creating a heated debate. D．Inspiring common feelings.
5．What does the author think of personal troubles and needs?
A．They are mostly shared experiences. B．They don't really matter to anyone'
C．They will be forgotten with time. D．They are unique to each individual.
6．Why did the author refuse to take off the coat in the classroom?
A．Because she had the same sweater with others.
B．Because she stole the sweater from someone'
C．Because she liked wearing the coat in summer.
D．Because she felt embarrassed wearing others' clothes.
7．What's the best title for the text?
A．Painful Experiences Are No Big Deal B．The Best Way to Honor Your Past Hurt
C．True Happiness Comes from Helping Others D．Three Little Words That Bring Us
Together
C
Do you want to look fashionable? Is looking fashionable more important than being
comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not
everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain
body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters, tight
body shapers that limit blood flow, and sticky false eyelashes （假睫毛）. Men and women
alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons
and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front
of a mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how they
look like?
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or
she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first.
People should prioritize（优先考虑）being healthy and positive. What people wear does not
indicate anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps
you should call your friends and do something together. Instead of going on strict diets and
starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can
keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
8. Why does the author ask questions in the first paragraph?
A. To enrich the content. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To reflect different attitudes. D. To make readers think and give their
opinions.
9. Which statement best represents the author’s viewpoint?
A. Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.
B. Fashion increases famous people’s self-respect.
C. When you look good, you feel good.
D. People need to diet to lose weight.
10. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend?
A. Shopping for fashionable clothes. B. Going on a strict diet with a friend.
C. Going skating with friends. D. Changing the hairstyle every week.
11. The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to .
A. show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting
B. persuade readers to value health more than fashion
C. tell readers ways to become fashionable
D. inform readers of the latest fashion trendsD
Life expectancy in the United States has been in decline for the first time in decades, and
public health officials have identified a series of potential causes, including inaccessible health
care, rising drug addiction and rates of mental health disorders, and socio-economic factors.
Now, a study led by the Yale School of Medicine has attempted to find out the relative impact
of two factors most often linked to life expectancy—race and education—by looking at data
about 5,114 black and white participants in four U.S. cities.
The lives and deaths among this group of people—who took part in the study
approximately 30 years ago when they were in their early 20s—show that the level of education,
and not race, is the best predictor of who will live the longest.
Among the 5,114 people followed in the study, 395 had died. These deaths were occurring
in working-age people, often with children, before the age of 60. The rates of death among
participants in this group did clearly show racial differences, with approximately 9% of blacks
dying at an early age compared to 6% of whites. There were also differences in causes of death
by race. For instance, black men were significantly more likely to die of murder and white men
from AIDS. The most common causes of death across all groups over time were cardiovascular
disease and cancer.
But there were also obvious differences in rates of death by education level. Approximately
13% of participants with a high school degree or less education died compared with only
approximately 5% of college graduates.
Strikingly, when looking at race and education at the same time, the researchers found that
differences related to race almost disappeared: 13.5% of black subjects and 13.2% of white
subjects with a high school degree or less died during the course of the study. By contrast, 5.9%
of black subjects and 4.3% of whites with college degrees had died.
Therefore, improving overall quality of education is something tangible that can help
reverse（扭转） this troubling trend in reduction of life expectancy among middle-aged adults.
12. What can we learn about the participants in the study?
A. The whites are more aggressive. B. The whites got higher education.
C. More blacks than whites died young. D. More whites than blacks died of
cancer.13. Compared with education, the influence of race on death rates is .
A. significant B. unnoticeable C. growing D. long-lasting
14. What does the underlined word “tangible” probably mean?
A. Realistic. B. Creative. C. Challenging. D. Temporary.
15. What can be inferred from the research findings？
A. People can get smart through learning.
B. One should not discriminate other races.
C. People don’t enjoy equal rights for education.
D. One can live longer by getting more education.

Music makes you more creative. 16 , they come up with more creative solutions,
according to researchers. It may be because good music improves your brain’s flexibility.
Another reason may be that it relaxes you enough for the creative juices to flow. But don’t play
music too loudly.
Music can help during surgery. 17 . After surgery, it helps reduce pain. An
analysis of 73 studies confirmed that listening to music before, during or after surgery reduces
anxiety and pain levels, which in turn means less pain medication.
18 . Studies have found that when you’re running, biking or walking, you’ll go farther
with music on. Music relieves your discomfort and motivates you to stay on. The effect is so
obviously great that the author of a review examining the psychological effects of music on
exercise called music “a type of legal performance-improvement drug”.
Music aids sleep. Listening to music before bed can help you fall asleep faster and wake up
less often during the night. 19 . In one study, seniors with sleep problems who listened
to 45 minutes of soft slow music before bed reported a 35 percent improvement in their sleep.
Music gets you to ignore the passing of time. Scientists have shown repeatedly that people
judge a period of waiting shorter when music is playing. Businessmen use that to their
advantage, playing music so you stay longer and spend more. For instance, more drinks and
food are sold in bars and restaurants when music is played. 20 , grocery sales increase
by 38 percent. A. In this case, you’ll feel more relaxed in the morning
B. And if the background music is slow
C. Then you play a piece of brief music
D. When people listen to happy music rather than sit in silence
E. When music is played varying from a tune to another
F. Music makes you get rid of the idea of quitting a workout
G. Listening to music before surgery has been shown to ease anxiety

Dear Taylor,
How are things going with you these days? I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t make it
to New York and visit you in June as previously scheduled.
I suppose everybody around the world has been somehow affected by Covid-19,
and I’m no exception. The greatest influence on me is that the college entrance exam this
year in China has been postponed to July. As a result, my summer vacation won’t begin
until mid-July and I have to reschedule my trip to your city. If the virus is under control
soon, I will go and see you in January, during my first college winter vacation. I wish it
would be convenient for you to meet me then.
Please stay safe and stay in contact with me.
Yours,
Li Hua
