When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the" theory of relativity (相对论)". "Imagination is more important than knowledge," said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called "thought experiments" by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren't happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China's health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.
Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you're going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream." Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings." he said.
However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don't have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.
To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they've taken a break. So next time you're stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.
(51) Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1 ________
A. Giving an example. B. Raising a question. C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing facts.
(52) Daydreaming can make people ________.
A. fly around B. walk slowly C. think freely D. be absent- minded
(53) Guo Qiang first suggests ________.
A. escaping from the hard time B. looking for new worlds
C. finding time to imagine D. focusing on success
(54) What is mentioned in paragraph 4 ________
A. The steps to daydream. B. The things to daydream of.
C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming.
(55) Daydreaming is talked about ________.
A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment
C. to find solutions to homework problems D. to show a science research result
C
Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think posit vely, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger.
Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn't important.
The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we're taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won't always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn't always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.
(56) What does progress make us do ________
A. Set lifelong goals. B. Go forward easily.
C. Live healthily and happily. D. Think about new things.
(57) What does Paragraph 3 tell us ________
A. We should support different people. B. Some people can push us to failure.
C. Confidence helps us make progress. D. Different schools expect the same progress.
(58) What does the writer say about slow progress ________
A. It often goes smoothly. B. It still means progress.
C. It sometimes stops progress. D. It always gives us a clear mind.
(59) Which word is close to the underlined word" setbacks" ________
A. Prizes. B. Advantages. C. Excuses. D. Difficulties.
(60) Which can be a proper title for the text ________
A. Ideas about Making Progress B. Keys to Speeding up Progress
C. Meanings of Having Confidence D. Suggestions on Relationships

Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his "green" project. This public - spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.
______. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtail s (凤蝶).

Stories and Art of Chinese Fans

Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2000 years ago. The fans came in different 82 (shape), such as round and square. They were also made 83 all kinds of materials.
Palm leaf fans were cheap and really easy to make. Feather fans shows the high status of their 84 (own). Sandalwood fans could send out a really sweet smell. And the sweet smell could make people comfortable and 85 (relax).
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works in which tuanshan ( round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most 86 /'k m n/.
In the shape of a full 87 , tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery(刺绣) featuring birds 88 flowers on them. Women, especially those in the palace, liked to use them. Meanwhile, men, especially the literati (文人) , used zheshan. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their capability in literature, 89 ( paint) and calligraphy (书法) . Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes.
