George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, not an artist. Even though
major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a
national treasure, Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist. For almost fifty years he simply went on
shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets.
Nakashima had a clear goal. He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as
possible. Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never
existed before. Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property. Later, he
traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood and Indian teak. He especially
liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down. Nakashima
felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with
interesting knots (节疤)and cracks. These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that
the tree had lived a happy life.
He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful. One early piece
Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter, Mira, to use when she sat at the
table for meals. The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high
versions. Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet. Always,
Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful, marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the
wood.
As the years passed, Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards. His
children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of crafts - people in their father's studio.
Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true.
4. Which of the following best describes Nakashima?
A. Generous and outgoing. B. Honest and simple.
C. Capable and friendly. D. Creative and modest.
5. Why was Nakashima called a national treasure?
A. His art work made trees live again. B. He used precious wood materials.
C. His chairs were beautifully designed. D. He was devoted to making furniture.
6. What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs?
A. He loved his work and family. B. He made chairs of the same style.
C. He sought for a simple life and art. D. He was lost in researching the wood.
7. What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin?
A. They had an art studio of their own.
B. They still lacked the ability to create art works.
C. They had a common interest with their father.
D. They enjoyed the same reputation with their father.
C
Playing tennis regularly could help keep people off death, but football, rugby and running may not help people to live longer, a study suggests.
A study followed more than 80,000 people for an average of nine years to find out if certain
sports protected them against early death. It found that people who played racket sports regularly
were the least likely to die over the study period, reducing their individual risk by 47 percent
compared with people who did no exercise. Swimmers also reduced their chance of death by 28
percent, aerobics (有氧运动) fans by 27 percent and cyclists by 15 percent. Yet running appeared to
have no impact at all on dying early, and neither did playing football or rugby.
Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis
and squash (壁球), which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game. It means
that people often have larger social net-works and tend to keep up activities into later life, both of
which are proven to be good for health.
In contrast, people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once their teams
break up for family, or injury reasons. They become watchers rather than participants in their chosen
activity.
The researchers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent lower risk
from heart death. Similarly, swimmers lowered their heart disease or stroke risk by 41 percent, and
people who took part in activities like aerobics, dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36
percent. But again running, football and rugby had no significant impact on heart deaths.
However, other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing that running
and football do not protect against heart disease. In this study both runners and footballers had a
lower rate of death from heart disease.
8. Which sport has hardly any impact on protecting people against early death?
A. Cycling. B. Swimming. C. Rugby. D. Tennis.
9. According to the study, which makes a big difference in keeping healthy?
A. Playing basketball with their friends occasionally.
B. Watching football games every day.
C. Taking up gymnastics and joining a club.
D. Doing running in the park every day.
10. What is considered more important to people's health?A. Social networks. B. Staying at home.
C. Physical examinations. D. Setting up families.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Thousands of people participated in a 9-year research.
B. Study finds playing tennis helps people live longer.
C. It is wrong to say running has no impact on heart disease.
D. There are differences between racket sports and team games.
D
Instagram（图片分享社交应用程序）is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes
from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets,
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook(FB), has already been testing hiding likes in seven other
countries, including Canada, Ireland and Australia. For years, likes have been central to how
celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It's a way of
measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes
contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now it's considering a change.
The total number of likes on posts — which appear as hearts on the app ——will disappear
from Instagram's main feed, profile pages and permalink( 永 久 链 接 ) pages. The owner of the
account can still see their own likes, but their followers won't know the count.
CNN Business previously spoke with users in countries with the test. The majority felt this
move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental( 不 利 的 ) social
networking app for young people's mental health, such as negatively impacting body image,
according to one study.
But other users and psychologists said hiding likes won't fix everything. The test doesn't
address some of the key ways that activity on Instagram can impact the well-being of users,
including bullying, feeling left out and thinking other people's lives are better than their own.
Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, voiced his opinion that the
biggest impact of Instagram is the content and the exposure to this constant stream of perfected
images is what seems to hurt psychologically. Plus, users can still see their own likes ——and feel
badly if their posts don't perform well.12. How do users experience Instagram in this passage?
A. By giving likes. B. By hiding likes.
C. By selecting platforms. D. By showing off talents.
13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Profitable. B. Poisonous. C. Popular. D. Positive.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Instagram has affected youngsters' mental health.
B. The account owners won't know the count o£ likes.
C. Instagram tested hiding likes in seven countries first.
D. The majority think Instagram has been a well-being app.
15. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Instagram Misuses Likes
B. More People Are Against Likes
C. Likes Cause Mental Problems
D. Likes will Be Hidden on Instagram

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Making other people feel good feels good, and, best of all, it requires little more than a
generous heart. Studies show that people feel happier when they do something kind for another
person, and both recipients and good deed-doers can get the benefits. It can't be smarter idea to
create this World Kindness Day. 16
Learn a friend's language. You care and take an interest in their experiences. Making
someone feel included and respected will feel a greater sense of belonging, an essential component
of happiness.
17 . Reaching out to someone for the first time in a long time can be an instant remedy(治
疗) for whatever trouble you. It's as simple as a text, a note or a Face Time call. Let someone know
you're thinking of them, even after some time apart. Studies suggest strong bonds can improve physical health, too.
Genuinely compliment( 赞 扬 ) someone. A respectful comment that comes from the heart
about someone's unique hair style, excellent performance in a conceit or their great solution to a
problem at work might be all it takes to improve someone's mood. 18
Collect trash you see around your neighborhood. Picking up trash and recyclables off the
street beautifies your community and benefits the environment. 19 The environment can't
clean itself, after all!
Thank the people in your life.They are the security guard outside of your workplace, the
supermarket worker you see every day, your mom. 20 Thank people for the things, big and
small, that they do that improve your life. Gratitude is priceless.
A. Others' positive words could help some people be a bit kinder to themselves, too.
B. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the odds you'll pack on pounds.
C. Open your heart with some small, free ways to make someone's day.
D. Without their help, your world might not rim as efficiently.
E. It might even inspire others to take up the task with you.
F. Reconnect with a friend or family member.
G. Have an eye contact with friends.

Arthur was messy. He didn't try to make messes, but he didn’t try to clean up much, either.
There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating. His socks never made
it into the hamper(洗衣篮). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them
away. Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the
crumbs（碎屑）into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made
sure they got washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up
his toys when he left them to do something else.
One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. “Not right now,” Arthur said. He was
reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning.“You know
what, Arthur? I'm not going to ask you again. I'm done cleaning today.” And with that. Mom put her
feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read.
At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table.
Mom's spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn't like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur's feet
felt cold. He went to his room and opened his drawer, but the drawer was empty. "Mom, where are
my socks?" Arthur called.
"There weren't any socks in your hamper, so I didn't wash them,” Mom said. Arthur felt
unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He
decided to stay barefoot.
When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur
stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. “Ouch!” cried Arthur. “That really hurt!”

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm Li Hua, a high school student from China. I'm writing to see if it is possible for you to do
me a favor.
I'm planning to study in the UK after graduation in September for two years. I'm a science
student and I'd like to major in science, such as computer science or engineering. Could you tell me how to write a self- recommendation letter and what aspects should be included in it. What's more,
are there any matters which need special attention?
Thank you for your time and kindness. I would appreciate it if you could reply soon.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1
However, Mom was still reading and said nothing. Arthur wasn’t sure if she had heard him
or not so he called for help again, but still Mom didn’t come. Then Arthur realized maybe it
was he that could solve his problem at that very moment. He quietly picked up the toy train and
put it in the box. It only took a minute for him to put the toy away, and now he wouldn’t have
to worry about hurting his feet again.
Paragraph 2
“Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow can you show me how to do the laundry so I can wash
my socks?” “Of course,” said Mom. “It’s nice to see you begin to learn to take care of yourself.
I am always here to do whatever I can to help you become a more independent boy.” Arthur felt
better. He didn’t want to wait until the next laundry day to have clean socks again. Maybe
being neat wasn’t so hard after all.
