Being a successful high school student requires both patience and motivation. Unfortunately, there are often many things that can make your success difficult. Here are some tips which can help you become a successful high school student. Remember that school is important. It’s important to have fun and have lots of extra-curricular activities, but school study should always be your top priority (优先的事物). 1. Get involved at your school. You don’t have to be a superstar or a cheerleader to do this. 2. These may include current events, such as the basketball game held last Friday or attending school events like dances and variety shows. 3. It’s easy to forget to stay in shape when the workload starts piling up. Doing some sports can help you relax physically and improve your work efficiency. So join a sports team at your school to make you less worried about your schedule and have a healthy body. Find a club to develop your interests. Not being an athlete is not an excuse for not having something to do after school. 4. Music? Join a band. If you’re not into any of your school’s clubs, advise your principal to start a new one. Most likely he / she will say yes. Focus on yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. 5. Every day you should only try to make yourself better, instead of worrying about how the girl sitting in front of you has nicer clothes or is getting better grades, etc. Ten years from now, this won’t matter. A.Take up a sport to get fit. B.Try to go out at weekends. C.All you need to do is stay on top of things. D.If you’re enthusiastic about art, join the art club. E.High school is only a competition with yourself. F.So never take homework, tests, and quizzes lightly! G.The best thing to do is just be friendly to everyone.
With production overrunning (泛滥) on Martin Scorsese’s new film, the famous Hollywood director admitted this month he was worried about the “youthi-fication” technology he was employing to smooth out his actors. The leading actor Robert De Niro and Al Pacino played young versions of their characters in the first half of the film, with their wrinkles and jowls (下巴) removed by the technology. Speaking to the British director Joanna Hogg, the film-maker Martin Scorsese said that good actors should meet some necessary requirements: excellent acting skills, rich imagination, good understanding and so on. However, there was something important that was missing while the technique was used. He added, “I don’t know how to instruct my actors to make their performance more impressive, especially rich eye expressions. Apparently, the technique makes their eyes dull, which disappoints me the most.” In this case, he isn’t alone. While the technology is doubtless impressive, there have been complaints about the “unnatural valley” effect of digitally de-ageing actors. Film critics (评论家), such as Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, and The Ringer’s Andrew Gruttadaro, observed that “as an audience member watching these films, you get the horrible feeling that you’re not watching a person, but an entity (实体) imitating a person”. Similar reservations have been heard about Anthony Hopkins being de-aged in TV’s Westworld. Later this year, Ang Lee’s Gemini Man will appear, starring Will Smith as a killer who meets his younger self, which is also played by Smith. The problem is that everybody who grew up with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air knows what Will Smith looked like as a younger man, and it wasn’t this one. To quote Dr Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, “Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, and they didn’t stop to think if they should.” De-ageing technology gives us the dazzling impression rather than the effect of youth, as a younger actor would. More goes into the ageing process than mere looks; it betrays a thin understanding of psychology to expect otherwise. 1.What was Martin Scorsese’s concern about his new film? A.The high cost of the film. B.The age of his leading actors. C.The effect of the new technology. D.The plot in the first part of the film. 2.What quality of an actor did Martin Scorsese probably pay more attention to? A.Expressive performance. B.Vivid imagination. C.Deep understanding of acting. D.Good language ability. 3.What can we infer from the examples about the new technology in Paragraph 3? A.It is popular among directors. B.It is unacceptable to the audience. C.It is welcomed by some film critics. D.It benefits actors like Will Smith. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A.The improvement of Hollywood movies B.“De-ageing” technology benefits old actors C.The breakthrough of Martin Scorsese’s new film D.Hollywood’s “de-ageing” technology has gone too far
Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to. Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand. Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pattern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny. Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine, she added. Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added. 1.What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1? A.Robots’ influence on the scientific development. B.Robots’ challenges of making sense of humor. C.Computer scientists’ devotion to technical skills. D.Computer scientists’ concern about AI’s development. 2.Examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to ___________-. A.prove robots do poorly in funny work B.explain robots aren’t as intelligent as humans C.describe language is complex and changeable D.show language can’t be taught in a set pattern 3.What does the underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Barrier. B.Record. C.Message. D.Possibility. 4.What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph? A.It will end up in vain. B.It may be a double-edged sword. C.It may help improve humans’ humor. D.It will attract more computer scientists.
A new exhibit at a California museum provides visitors with a modem version of the ancient Chinese art style, literally “shan shui hua”. The show is at the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles. It is called Lightscapes. The works show scenes of mountains, rivers and sometimes waterfalls. Chinese artists have been creating the brush and ink works for more than 1,000 years. Artists Nick Dong and Chi-Tsung Wu found ways to connect the new, digital generation to this traditional form of art. Their works get the essence (本质) of the style in a new way. The exhibit forces the viewers to slow down and experience a different world. That was also one of the goals of shan shui hua artists from long ago. Dong said, “Actually, all these artists want to create a world where they can hide themselves. And the world can help them avoid or escape from the reality. So, they create a mountain and imagine they could live there.” One of the works involves a slowly moving light directed at clear plastic boxes on a wall. The piece, created by Wu, is called Crystal City. Wu said, “If we see this through the light, from a different perspective, we could see there’s another world behind that.” That other world Wu noted is the shadows that look more solid than the plastic boxes. Wu said Crystal City is the representative of the modem digital age. To view Dong’s representation of Heaven, one has to step into a room filled with mirrors from floor to ceiling. There is a small round seat in the middle of the room. Dong said, “Once you’ve entered the installation (装置), at first you’ll see a lot of your reflections. But once you sit down, you touch off the mechanism (机关) of the room. The mirrors actually start to reflect, and you yourself will disappear within the space.” 1.What’s the main characteristic of the new exhibit? A.It shows the beauty of nature. B.It puts ancient Chinese art works on show. C.It enjoys advantages in terms of technology. D.It’s a good combination of the new and the old. 2.What do the artists want to convey in their works? A.Their concern about nature. B.Their curiosity about future life. C.Their longing for a different world. D.Their satisfaction with the reality. 3.What can we infer about Crystal City from Paragraph 4? A.It is Wu’s most famous work. B.Light and shadows are parts of it. C.It shows the complexity of plastic boxes. D.Advanced tools are needed to appreciate it. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A.Artists have modernized shan shui hua. B.Lots of artists are attracted by shan shui hua. C.Traditional paintings face lots of challenges. D.Traditional paintings should keep pace with times.

With an unhappy face, the boy got close to his parent. “Why do you walk so slowly?” said the father, angrily. “Come quickly! Take this note to Mr. Smith. Now run as fast as you can.” The boy took the note but he moved away slowly. “You, Tom! Run!” called the father. “If you are not back in half an hour, I will punish you.” But the words had little effect. The boy’s feelings were hurt by the unkindness of the parent. “I never saw such a boy,” said the father, speaking to a friend. “My words make no difference to him.” “Kind words often prove most powerful,” said the friend. “Kind words are like the gentle rain.

(speak) of home, why aren’t homework and housework 5. same thing? Even the smallest words can be 6. (confuse). When you see “WHO” in a medical report do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” You also have to wonder at the unique 7. (mad) of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down. English 8. (invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the 9. (create) of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, 10. when the lights are out, they are invisible.

How can parents really get their children to do housework? It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be ready to do housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home. If parents give their children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent. My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed. You can use the same technique when you evaluate(评价) your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he/she has done right, not about what he/she hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him/her a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad. Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last. 1.Why do children think of themselves unable? A.They don’t do housework. B.Parents are not friendly to them. C.Parents don’t allow them to do what they like. D.They get too little praise in doing housework. 2.What can parents learn from Carla’s fifth-grade teacher? A.Take a trip with children. B.Give children more praise. C.Give children a punishment. D.Promise children a ball game. 3.We can draw a lesson from the passage that ________. A.children can be forced to do housework B.there is no way to get children to help at home C.it is very easy to make children do housework D.the more you encourage children, the more helpful they will be 4.What is the whole passage mainly about? A.Social education. B.School education. C.Pre-school education. D.Family education.

Being a teenager can be hard, for you have to face a lot of difficult problems, but a new program called Nfusion is working hard to help teens with mental(精神的) health needs. Nfusion gives teenagers classes where they study or discuss some troubling subjects. Drugs and bullying(欺凌) are just a few of the topics discussed during the class on Saturday. “I had a bad attitude,” said 17-year-old Titeana Davis. Davis went through the Nfusion Program last year.

Nfusion is a new program that meets teens mental health needs and provides help for their families. The program is designed to help teens aged 14-21 live through a difficult period. “They’re still growing, still developing and still there are a lot of things they don’t know how to address. So this is a good program for them to be a part of,” said Lakicha Jemigan, who worked for the Nfusion Program. Teens like Davis are just a few who have come through the program successfully. Now thanks to Nfusion, Davis says she’s looking forward to a bright future. “After I graduate from college, I want to work at a primary school and I want to be a second grade teacher,” added Davis. 1.What’s the purpose of Nfusion? A.To provide teens with some programs. B.To help teens fight for a better future. C.To help teens receive a good education.

You may be relying more and more on your refrigerator. But you should know there are some things you’d better not put into your refrigerator. ♦1. Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. If you make sandwiches with the bread, and then place them in the refrigerator, the cold temperature will make the bread hard like nuts. Besides, the coldness makes the bread become hard at a faster speed. ♦Coffee. Since ground coffee like coffee beans require cool, dry and dark spots to keep their taste and freshness, the refrigerator is not a good place for them. Coffee also needs an airtight（密封的）container. But if you have much coffee that you won’t use right away, then you can freeze it. 2. This way, you can store it for up to a month. ♦Tomatoes. 3. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their good taste. Plus, the cold air in the cooler refrigerator stops the ripening（成熟的）process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter. ♦Honey. Make sure that you keep honey in an airtight container. 4. Therefore. storing it in your cooler refrigerator doesn’t make sense. Honey is a naturally preserved food so it needs no help from us. Amazingly enough, placing honey in your refrigerator will in fact speed up the sugar crystallization （结晶）process. 5. A. Nuts. B. Bread. C. We all love tomatoes for their taste. D. Just make sure to put the coffee in airtight bags. E. Honey will stay good almost forever in that way. F. Some of you dislike the tomatoes’ taste because it is a little strange. G. As a result, the honey will become harder or nearly impossible to eat.
It’s normal for teens to want to stay connected with friends and social circle, but what about that happening in the middle of the night? The Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research showing that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake to spend all night on social media (社会媒体). Not surprisingly, the research also showed that these social night owls were three times more likely than others to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to office. The blue light produced by cell phones and computers makes the brain to stay awake, so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A study in Psychological Science showed the same brain reaction: when teens saw large numbers of “likes” on their posts, they stayed awake with excitement as if they had eaten chocolates or won money. Besides not catching up on sleep and interrupting their sleep cycle, teens may never fully enter deep sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning. Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms, parents need to set rules sooner rather than later. “Providing access (使用机会) to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose,” Janie Feldman, an expert who treats sleep disorders (紊乱), reminds parents, “The bad effect is clear. So teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use, timing and access. When teenagers agree to the rules, it’s easier for parents to control how much time they use the phones or computers.” 1.What does the underlined part “night owls” in paragraph 1 refer to? A.Girls often called to office. B.Teens who stay up late on social media. C.Teens who are busy with their homework at night. D.Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night. 2.How do teens react when seeing many “likes” on their posts according to the study? A.They are too excited to go to sleep. B.They fall asleep easily and happily. C.They are too excited to go to school. D.They decide to make more good friends. 3.What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents? A.Making rules about media access together with their children. B.Getting their children to do homework through computers. C.Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends. D.Stopping their children from using cell phones. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A.Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development. B.Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents. C.Social media may have a bad effect on all kinds of people. D.Social media may cause teens’ sleep disorders.
