24、Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, or afraid---all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech in public. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure(休闲), and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time to have fun, you will feel less stressed.

25、   The police are looking for robbers who stole valuable diamonds from the jewelry show at the City Centre yesterday evening. The owner reported that a necklace estimated to be worth $1.5 million was taken by a young couple. Witnesses said that couple in their early 20s caught their eyes because they seemed too young to be interested in such expensive jewelry. In his story, a salesman said that the couple were dressed in clothing that seemed too casual for the rather formal atmosphere of the jewelry show. According to a saleswoman who talked with them, the couple said that they were interested in a special necklace for the woman to wear at their wedding next month. The man said that he was a nationally known athlete, so many reporters would come to the wedding ceremony.

The saleswoman left the couple looking at the necklace when she went to help an elderly man who fell out of his wheelchair. Unfortunately, when she got back, the couple and the necklace were gone. The police have realized that an old man was part of the robbery plan. The police think the same gang of thieves robbed a hotel downtown last month. At that time, a woman was checking in when two men with guns threatened the hotel clerk. Although the clerk was very brave, he had to hand over all the money on hand, about $1, 500. Strangely, the woman who was checking in didn’t seem afraid at all and she disappeared before the police arrived.

The city has put out an announcement for all citizens to keep an eye for anyone who obviously seems to be out of place. The police plan to offer a reward for information that helps to catch the gang. Contact the police if you know anything related to these robberies. The police are determined to recover the stolen necklace quickly.

26、Named after the “quest for heavenly truth”, Tianwen 1, China’s first Mars probe（探测器）, has given us impressive pictures of the red planet. The first high-resolution（高分辨率的）pictures of Mars taken by Tianwen 1 were made public by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on March 4.

“These are the first close-up pictures of Mars’ surface taken by China,” said Bao Weimin, a scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The pictures were taken at different distances from Mars. The two black-and-white pictures were taken by the high-resolution camera on Tianwen 1 when the probe was about 330-350 kilometers above the Martian surface. As for the color picture, it was taken by Tianwen 1’s medium-resolution（中分辨率的）camera when the probe was about 5,000 kilometers above the red planet. It shows Mars’ North Pole.

The high-resolution camera can take both color and panchromatic（全色的）pictures. Panchromatic pictures, which are black and white, are the clearest, having the largest amount of data for scientific study, said Liu Tongjie. The medium-resolution camera, can only produce lesser clear pictures. Scientists put the panchromatic and color pictures together to form a clear and beautiful color picture, Liu added.

Tianwen 1, the country’s first independent Mars task, was sent up on July 23, kicking off the nation’s planetary exploration program. The probe entered its preset orbit above Mars on Feb 24 and is looking for a landing site on the planet’s largest plain. The probe is expected to land on the red planet sometime between May and June.

【1】The first high-resolution photos of Mars were made public by CNSA ________.

A．on February 24

B．on March 4

C．on July 23

D．on October 22

【2】The underlined word “impressive” in this passage means ________.

B．useful

C．simple

D．amazing

【3】What do we know about the pictures according to the text?

A．The panchromatic pictures are the clearest.

B．The color pictures have the largest amount of data.

C．The clearest pictures were taken by medium-resolution camera.

D．The black and-white pictures were taken from Mars.

【4】The passage is most probably from ________.

A．a storybook

B．a science book

C．a fashion magazine

D．a guidebook

27、Danny stood with his mother at the kitchen window of their tiny house. Mom put her arm around Danny. “Just look at that view,” she said. “Can you believe we live here? I think it’s the most beautiful place on earth.” Mom was right; it looked like a postcard out there, with the palm threes swaying in the breeze, the bushes covered with pink and white flowers, and the ocean a sparkling silver strip in the distance.

       Danny couldn’t stand looking at it. All he wanted was to be back in New York City, looking out his old apartment window at the jumble of dirty buildings, the smoke thick in the air, and his friends.

       Mom thought that coming here to Hawaii would give Danny a fresh start—just she and Danny. She wanted to get him away from danger and trouble.

       After a while, Mom kissed Danny good—bye after straightening her white nurse's cap and went off to work. Slowly Danny stood up, making a plan in his mind for his journey back to New York City. But then he heard a noise in his backyard.

       Danny opened the back door. Mom’s new pot of flowers lay shattered on the ground. “Was someone in trouble? Or were robbers planning to break in?” thought Danny. He picked up a broom, ready to strike. He didn’t see anyone, but then he caught sight of a small dark head poking out from behind one of the thick bushes. Danny put down the broom and walked over. It was a little kid, maybe three years old. “What was he doing here all by himself? Was he hurt?” thought Danny.

       “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” the kid screamed. “Hey!” Danny said. The kid turned around. He was laughing like a monkey standing on a mountain of bananas. And he was clutching a little animal of some kind. “Puppy!” the kid said. Danny studied the animal. It was very small and black except for one white ear.He didn't want to break the kid’s heart, but he was petty sure it wasn’t a little dog. It looked more like a rat.

       “My puppy!” the kid said, hugging it so tight. Danny was sure it would pop like a balloon. Danny looked around. The kid was too young to be wandering around on his own. “Who are you?” Danny said, bending down to look the kid in the eye. “Aki!” he said. “Who are you?” “I'm Danny.” “Danny, see my puppy?” Aki held out his poor pet like he wanted Danny to give it a big kiss.

       And then the kid’s eyes got huge.He pointed to something over Danny’s shoulder. “Monster!” he said. Danny spun around and there, moving toward them, was the ugliest animal Danny had ever seen in his life. It was black, the size of a huge dog, with wiry bristles, a pig’s snout, and two huge spiked tusks sprouting right from its face like swords. It did look like a monster. The animal grunted and snorted as it stared at Aki with beady black eyes.

       Prepare to die! It seemed to be saying. And it seemed the monster was ready to charge at them.

Have you ever heard about “E-sticks”? People 【1】（很少）connect sticks with GPS. Wang Zikuan, a 【2】（青少年） from Shenzhen China, made a big difference by inventing the walking sticks for the elderly people. Zikuan found that elderly people always get hurt badly or hit 【3】（碰；撞） things when they walked around. Inspired by car alarm system, he built a sensor（感应器）into his walking sticks.

His teacher Mr. Zhang noticed his talent and 【5】（建议）that he should take part in an inventing competition, which was organized by the 【6】（当地的）government. After trying for many times, he finally made it and won the first place in the competition. Now the walking sticks are 【7】（广泛地）used by the old and the disabled. Many accidents are 【8】（避免） with the help of the walking sticks.

Zikuan’s parents took 【9】（骄傲）in what he had done. In order to develop Zikuan’s creativity, his parents always encourage him to think of more ideas that are well 【10】（值得） considering and take him to different invention fairs.
