I was cutting up lettuce(生菜) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about putting the lettuce stub(残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug(大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.
On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here Lettuce or hope
If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess(评估) where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my not enough offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to refresh itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.
Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two things were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right things, this is the tendency of all living things.
Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to move him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my ability to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.
I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay(腐烂),or start again. The expectation of starting again is disappointing. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.
24.Why did the author put the stub in water
A.To play a game. B.To decorate the nice mug.
C.To hope that it would grow. D.To remove his bad mood.
25.What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes
A.The disappearing cuts. B.The tiny root threads.
C.The remaining stub. D.The small leaf.
26.How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation
A.Confident. B.Annoyed. C.Hesitant. D.Fearless.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Believe in Yourself When in Trouble B.Enjoy Your Own Life to the Fullest
C.Give Freedom to the Heart in a Way D.Never Be Afraid to Restart Yourself

Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, hungry polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids(杂交种), “pizzly” bears.
With features that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, the hybrids, ‘pizzly’ bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.
The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decrease: their number may go down by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is related partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets.
“Polar bears mainly ate soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these hungry polar bears are trying to find other food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out(抵消) those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.
“We’re having great impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, ‘pizzly’ bears could be a sad but necessary compromise(妥协) given current warming trends.”
28.Why do polar bears move further south
A.To contact grizzlies. B.To deal with hunger.
C.To create hybrids. D.To expand area.
29.What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents
A.More food choices. B.Wider habitats.
C.Climate preference. D.Improved breeding ability.
30.What can we learn about polar bears from the text
A.Polar bears are increasing. B.Polar bears like soft foods.
C.Climate change can benefit polar bears. D.Polar bears have fat meals such as seals.
31.What’s the main idea of the text
A.“Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.
B.“Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
C.Polar bears have already adapted to climate change.
D.Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.

Hip hop is a subculture and an art movement that emerged(出现) from the Bronx in New York City during the early 1970s. Its development reflected the negative effects of post industrial decline, political speech, and a rapidly changing economy.
Looking back to New York City during this era, we see an economic decline. The city’s economy was falling apart due to the decline of the manufacturing industry. Much of the middle class moved to the suburbs to escape the social and economic challenges.
Finally, businesses closed their doors, causing many economic opportunities and sources of entertainment to disappear. As a result, urban youth turned to the streets for recreation and self-expression. The empty buildings and parking lots set the stage for block parties. These block parties laid the groundwork for early hip hop culture. DJs and MCs brought the music by setting up mobile “Sound Systems” introduced by Jamaican culture. Sheets of cardboard became dance floors for break-dancers, and brick walls transformed into canvases (画布) for graffiti. The emerging hip hop culture also became an outlet to deal with hopelessness and even violence.
Several people were influential in creating hip hop. Among the most famous ones is DJ Kool Here, the “founding father of hip hop”. The Jamaican American made history in 1973 when he and his sister hosted the “Back to School” party in their apartment building. This historical party is recognized for starting the hip hop movement. Here was also famous for creating a DJ technique called “break beat” —a mixing practice he adapted from Jamaican music. He noticed that people often waited for drum breaks of a record to dance. This took place when every instrument stopped playing except for the drums. Then the DJ would use two turntables(唱机转盘) to switch back and forth between two copies of the same record. The break section was also the most expected part of a song where people danced the most.
The DJ kept growing in popularity throughout the 1970s. He moved on to larger parks, played in clubs and encouraged other DJs who helped this type of dance music to develop.
32.Why did hip hop culture emerge in the Bronx during the early 1970s
A.Because of young people need for new forms of entertainment.
B.Because of the popularity of Jamaican music and dance culture.
C.Because of the post-industrial economy and cultural differences.
D.Because of the economic downturn and social circumstances.
33.What was the foundation for hip hop culture in the beginning
A.Jamaican music. B.Economic challenges.
C.Hopelessness and violence. D.Community gatherings.,
34.What does the underlined word “outlet” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A.A way of letting out negative emotions. B.An activity for commercial purposes.
C.A movement for social changes. D.A place to seek entertainment.
35.What can be known about DJ Kool Here
A.“Back to School” was the first party held by him.
B.He was highly thought of as a pioneer of hip-hop culture.
C.He was well-known for the “break beat” dancing skill.
D.He helped spread hip-hop culture by giving concerts.

Dealing with Stress in Sports
Sports are a great way to have fun while staying fit. Sports also teach important life lessons like working as a team. 36 Having a healthy attitude about sports and learning to deal with the stress that comes with competing can help you perform your best.
37 And that can be good. A little stress helps the body face a challenge. But too much stress can take the fun out of a sport and make it hard to perform. If you think there might be too much stress around competing, talk to your parents and coach. Making some changes can help. If you have too much going on, think about limiting practice time or only doing one sport or activity per season.
There will always be some stress in sports. 38 . Trying different ways during practice helps you know what will work best for you during competition. You can try to take a deep breath and hold it in for about 5 seconds, then release(释放) it slowly. Repeat those five times. You can also think positively and develop positive self-talk, like saying “I learn from my mistakes.” “I’m in control of my feelings.” “I can make this goal!” to help keep the negative(消极的) thoughts away.
Keep stress levels down when you aren’t competing. 39 . Besides, doing something fun and relaxing is great, such as taking a break from competing and going for a walk, riding a bike, seeing a movie, or hanging out with friends.
Finally don’t forget that no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes in sports. It is part of the game. 40
Whether you play on the school team or at a weekend pick-up game, the point is to have fun. By keeping that as the first place, you can learn to deal with the stress that is a natural part of competition.
A.Competing always leads to some stress
B.So it’s important to know how to deal with it
C.Why not be quick to forgive mistakes and move on
D.If you have too much going on, think about doing more exercising
E.It is best to eat well and get enough sleep, especially before games
F.Aren’t sports about staying active, developing as a player and making friends
G.But it’s not always easy to keep it together when it feels like winning is everything

It is hard not to thirst for victory in all your efforts when the world seems so competitive, especially if you’re a boy growing up with those values. A boy grew up in a similar environment where winning was all that was valued, and he longed to succeed. The boy was good at running, so he called everyone in the nearby villages for a race. A large group of people from around came to see this exciting event!
The boy had been training hard for this race. He ran among the strongest boys from around the villages, and it looked like heat on a finish line, but the young boy came out victorious! The crowd went wild with joy as they cheerfully waved(挥舞) flags praising him. The boy loved the attention. It made him feel happy and vital(生气勃勃的).
But among the crowd was a wise older man who did not seem as impressed with the boy’s fleets(舰队) as the rest. Just as the boy thought all the races for the day were over, the old man shouted from the crowd. “There is one more race left, the most important one.” The boy was firstly surprised by the additional race, but he was confident he could win any race.
The old man brought two new competitors for the boy, a blind man and a weak old lady. “I can easily win them,” the boy said. When the boy crossed the finish line, the blind man was still at the start, and the old lady had just started to move. The boy got his victory but he noticed that the crowd wasn’t cheering. The boy was shocked. So, he asked the old man what had happened. The old man said, “Let’s start the race again, but all three of you finish together this time.”

The wise old man put his hands around the boy’s shoulders. He answered, “Boy, you have won much more in this race than any other race you have ever run, and in this race, the crowd is not cheering for any winners but for your great teamwork.” The little boy felt proud and important. Lost in deep thought for a while, the boy thanked the wise old man for making him realize the real meaning of success. From then on, he could be regarded as a truly successful athlete.
