Style 1: Tiger parents They are strict with their children. They want them to get the best grades in their class. They love their kids in their hearts.

Style 3: Helicopter (直升机) parents They worry too much about their children and “fly” over them like helicopters. Experts say that these parents should give their children more free time. Style 4: Lawnmower (割草机) parents Like lawnmowers that cut grass, they solve all difficulties for their children. So their kids never learn to think for themselves and never learn to solve problems on their own.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation (感激) I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful for those books the authors (作者) wrote. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so that I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After going through terrible experiences at school, I made a choice to take the positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change people’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect (建筑师) of positive change.

Digital Etiquette (网络礼仪), or netiquette, is a set of rules for how to behave online. It’s a lot like life etiquette, which is having good manners and treating others with respect. It’s just as important in our digital lives, including how we act in online games or how we communicate on social media. These platforms (平台) let us talk and share instantly wherever we are.
Unluckily, some people lose control once they jump online. When they disagree with someone, or have strong feelings about a topic, they end up saying things they’d never say in person! One of the main reasons is that it’s pretty easy to stay anonymous (匿名的) on the Internet. When all they see of you is screen name, they might forget that they’re dealing with a real human being! As a result, they may send ruder emails or start arguments or even insult (辱骂) others without worrying about getting punished.
The rule is simple: Just like in real life, ________. You wouldn’t want somebody to be rude to you, so don’t be rude to anyone else.
Of course, netiquette isn’t just about being nice; it’s also about protecting personal information. Never post anything about your friends on a vlog or a social networking site unless you are allowed to. People’s personal information is private, and you can really harm relationships if you post something that a friend or a friend’s parents don’t want on the web. And keep in mind that the Internet is not a private place, and personal information has value. Think twice before text.
8．How does the writer begin this text
A．By giving examples. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving a definition.
9．Why do some people get out of control when going online
A．Because they disagree with someone.
B．Because they can hide their names on the Internet.
C．Because they worry about getting punished.
10．Which of the following can be put into the underlined place in Paragraph 3
A．there’s a difference between expressing your opinion and being rude
B．you should treat other people the way you want to be treated
C．respect yourself, or no one will respect you
11．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text
A．To call on people to stop arguments and express opinions politely online.
B．To teach people how to use social media online.
C．To tell people how to behave properly on the Internet.

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Have you ever heard of seahorses Known for their curly tail and the horse-like head that gives them the name, seahorses are unique sea fish. Let’s take a closer look at the world of these special animals.
The seahorse is a small fish that is found in many waters around the world. Its size is from as small as a peanut (花生) to as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses come in many colors, and some even have the ability to change color to match the environment where they make their homes. They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push themselves forward is by using a tiny fin on their back. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip!
Humans are the greatest danger to the seahorses. Seahorses feed on tiny fish and plankton (浮游生物), but chemical (化学的) pollution from human activities harms the food. And human-caused climate change has led to warmer ocean temperatures, which put stress on seahorses’ bodies by influencing their breathing and appetite (食欲). What’s more, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they have trouble running away from polluted areas.
However, the seahorse trade is far more serious than these threats (威胁). Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year for use in traditional Chinese medicine. As it continues, seahorses could disappear by around 2050, but there is still time to save them.
36．What are seahorses known for
37．How can seahorses push themselves forward
38．Why is it difficult for seahorses to run away from polluted areas
39．What is the biggest threat to seahorses according to the text
40．What can you do to save seahorses
