Kelly is a 34-year-old mother from Toledo, USA. 1.她过去曾拥有漂亮的棕色长发。However, her hair started falling out after the birth of her second daughter. Kelly spent months visiting doctors, but nothing could stop her hair from falling out. She was sad. 2. She wouldn’t leave the house without a hat or a wig(假发). She didn’t even want to look in the mirror or take any photos. Since a young age, Kelly was known for her hair. So losing her hair made her feel like she was losing her identity(身份).
After learning that her problem of losing hair may be genetic(遗传的), Kelly began to think, “3. If my daughters lose hair, what will I want them to do?” Then she decided to show her daughters that hair loss is not the end of the world. She said, “I want them to know that their mom was strong and got through it and so can they!”
4. Kelly then stopped trying to make her hair grow back and started to accept herself. She stopped wearing hats and wigs. And she learned to love herself again.
Kelly is stronger now. “Every person has their own story. Mine just happens to be visible(看得见的),” she said. “5.我如此幸运以至于摆脱了困难。”

Hi Mary, I think you should go and talk to your daughter’s head teacher. Bullying is a serious problem in many schools, and every school must have a rule to stop it.

Try to be polite and explain how their music is making you feel and has a bad influence(影响) on your children. Tell them that you would really like to be friendly with them, but if they keep making noise at night, you will call the police. Before you do this, you should write down all the dates and time when your neighbors make too much noise. Anna |

22、
Do you like watching short videos on apps when you are free? It was reported that the number of short video users had reached 773 million in March. That is, about 86% of all Chinese Internet users are watching or making short videos, or both! If you say short videos are only popular in China, you are wrong. TikTok has more than 800 million users around the world.
Many users like short videos. They say the videos not only make them relax, but also teach them useful skills. “I love watching Lao Qiao’s short videos on my phone,” Francis, one of the short video users, says. “Lao Qiao is a famous cook and his videos are my favorite ones. From his videos, people can learn how to make Shanxi noodles in a short time.”
However, quite a few people think short videos are not that good. “There are many other ways to relax, like watching movies, reading books and playing sports,” they say. “All of them are more meaningful to people.” What’s more, if people start watching short videos, it may be difficult to stop.
According to some educators, watching short videos is just a way to kill time when you are bored, but you should know when to stop. “Most of them are just for fun,” the educators say. “They don’t teach people to think, or to improve themselves. It’s not good for the people, and not good for society (社会), either.”
【1】The writer talks about Francis in Paragraph 2 to ________.
A.describe how much he loves short videos
B.tell readers how he learned to make Shanxi noodles
C.encourage more people to watch Lao Qiao’s short videos
D.show people can learn something through short videos
【2】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A.short videos
B.useful skills
C.ways to relax
D.movies and books
【3】What do the educators ask us to do?
A.To watch short videos to have fun.
B.To spend less time on short videos.
C.To make some short videos about life ourselves.
D.To do something meaningful for society through short videos.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How many people use the Internet.
B.What people think of short videos.
C.Why people like watching short videos.
D.How people should spend their free time.
23、 Teahouses(茶馆) in Chengdu
There is a saying, “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.” Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.
As soon as the visitors come into the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.
People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired.
Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. People can tell the stories and enjoy Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel(争吵), a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is worked out, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers come into the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily worked out then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions(功能).

24、根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词,使短文意思完整,每空一词。
Wonder, by United States writer R. J. Palacio, is a powerful story of transformation (改变). It tells the story of a special boy, August Pullman, who was b【1】 with a serious facial difference. And up till now, it has p【2】 him from going to a mainstream school.
When he first started school at 10, everyone made fun of him. August wanted n【3】 more than to be treated as a kid like others—but his new classmates can’t get past his strange face. Students often bully (欺负) him for not looking normal (正常的). H【4】, he makes true friends there and even wins an award at his graduation ceremony. August is a hero for the ages, one who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
This book has t【5】 my heart. It’s not a fairy tale—life isn’t one. I【6】, the story is very realistic, as it shows what could I really happen in middle school. What’s more, it’s told from different points of view (视角). Wonder begins from August’s point of view, but soon switches to (切换到) others’, i【7】 his classmates’, his sister’s and so on. This o【8】 readers a chance to understand different characters’ feelings and thoughts.
I think we can all relate to August. In one way or another, we are all just like him. We each have our own d【9】, but we shouldn’t try to change ourselves to fit in. We all experience ups and downs, but like August, we’ve got the c【10】 back and won. Despite all the brutality (残忍) in the world, there’s always a reason to smile.
