My hands were shaking as we waited for our turn. It felt like butterflies flying around in my stomach.
Though we had practiced for months, I still felt kind of uneasy.
“Are you ready ” Brittanie asked with a weak smile.
“Of course I am!” I replied, trying to sound confident.
“I guess I’m kind of nervous,” she said quietly.
“Okay, so am I! But we’re on in about 30 seconds!”
As I spoke, I heard the song end and people clapping their hands. “Deep breaths”, I thought to myself, “deep breaths”. Then my dance team lined up and we got onto the stage as if we owned it. In the back of my mind, I heard my teacher say, “Confidence is everything!” as she did when we spent long hours in the studio.
We reached the center of the stage. I showed the judges my biggest smile, trying to hide my nervousness. I noticed that several of the judges wore listless expressions and one of them even seemed unhappy, which added to my discomfort on stage.
A few seconds later, when I heard our familiar song in the speakers, I forgot my nervousness. The dance started with a few simple counts and a more challenging turn followed. To my complete surprise, my turns were perfect. Even my jumps were higher than usual! Our cheerful dance made us excited. Even the judges began dancing in their seats.
The dance ended perfectly. Everyone stood up and cheered! That sense of pride was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. I left the stage with a smile, knowing that I had performed my best.
20. How did the writer feel before she got onto the stage

22. We may feel the same as the writer did at the end of her dance ________.
A. when we get good grades by working hard
B. when we are expecting a letter from a pen pal
C. when we make a big mistake in our homework
D. when we break the glass before drinking water
C
It’s easy to think “that will never happen to me,” but natural disasters (灾难) are becoming both more common and serious. Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱), taking away the lives of hundreds of people and billions (十亿) of animals.
While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do.
Flood
Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water. They can make you sick, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty.
Tornado
A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on1 you. Get down low and cover your head with your arms.
Earthquake
You can stay safe during an earthquake by moving away from things that might fall. Get down under something that's strong if you can't rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you're outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you.
Bushfire
Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the hotter months. It is important that you try to stay calm in a bushfire. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and lives within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. You'd better prepare an emergency survival kit and have it handy at all times.
No one wants to be caught in a dangerous and extreme situation. If the unthinkable does take place, having a plan and knowing what to do could make all the difference for you and your loved ones.
23. The writer mentions Australian wildfires to show ________.
A. a natural disaster will never happen to us
B the fires can cause the death of people and animals
C. natural disasters are becoming more and more serious
D. the high temperature and a drought may lead to wildfires
24. When disasters happen, what can you do to keep safe
A. Drink flood water if you are thirsty when a flood happens.
B. Stop moving and wait for other people’s help in a bushfire.
C. Stay away from windows or flying things when a tornado comes.
D. Stay under the trees after getting out of buildings in an earthquake.
25. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Predictions about Natural Disasters
B. The Ways to Keep Safe in Natural Disasters
C. The Reasons Why Natural Disasters Happen
D. The Types of Natural Disasters around the World
D
Is Losing Weight an Important Health Goal
Advertisements, pop culture and even doctors can talk about health and weight as if they are one and the same: smaller bodies are healthier, and larger bodies must be unhealthy. But neither health nor bodies are that simple, and health can differ from person to person.
“A higher body mass index (BMI) has to do with health conditions like diabetes (糖尿病)”, said Philipp Scherer, a professor at the University of Texas. “However, it’s not that clear when researchers look at a single person.” People in smaller bodies can develop heart disease or diabetes, and plenty of people in larger bodies are considered completely metabolically (新陈代谢地) healthy. “It’s just a result of our genetic heterogeneity (遗传异质性) and how we do with calories (卡路里) more than needed,” he added.
Dr. Asher Larmie, a doctor in the UK noted, “BMI is just one of many factors causing changes in a person’s well-being. Medical care, environment, society and biology make up most of the factors that decide our health. We can’t take one look at a person's body and get a sense of their health. Can we see somebody’s medical records Are we talking to their doctors And often health is honestly sometimes out of our control (控制). There are so many illnesses that people just develop. ”
Then, how can we really keep healthy Health is decided by many factors. Not falling ill is one, but so are staying mentally (精神地) healthy, keeping active social networks, getting enough sleep and lowering stress. Taking in fewer calories or cutting out certain foods may be bad for your health if it hurts your mental health or keeps you from enjoying time with friends and family.
“Weight loss doesn’t mean that you’ll necessarily get healthy. Sometimes how you lose weight could also be detrimental to your health. You may become unhealthy because of dieting,” said Charles Spence, a professor from the University of Oxford. “We should improve our health by moving more, sleeping better, stressing less and eating the foods your body is telling you that you need,” Larmie added.
26. What can we learn about health according to Dr. Asher Larmie
A. Health is greatly under our control.
B. We can tell if people are healthy from their BMI.
C. Medical care is the most important for people’s health.
D. Many factors have to do with people’s health conditions.
27. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. mental health is less important than physical health
B. our lifestyle plays a very important role in our health
C. losing weight is a common way to help us keep healthy
D. sleeping better and stressing less can help us lose weight
28. The words “be detrimental to” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”.
A. improve B. harm C. serve D. describe
29 What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To show us some useful ways to lose weight.
B. To tell us the importance of keeping healthy.
C. To make us clear on the relation between health and weight.
D. To call on us to keep a smaller body size through exercising.
