But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on.At that time, I didnt understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldnt find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the parkit felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.Other times, I even thought about killing myself I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasnt anyone who could have helped with my situation.What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldnt have ever believed it.Just take each day as it comes, and remember that theres always someone, or something, out there to help you.4.

One of the budgets would cut all funding to the Institute of Museum and Library services and libraries across the United States. However, as far as Im concerned, we need to save our libraries.Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They encourage literacy (识字）with summer programs. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. Without them, where will kids with no Internet at home do their homework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We need them so that kids can grow up with a place, other than school , where learning and exploration is encouraged. For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the Internet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also serve as a place to pick up a book and learn something new. Whats more，they can also borrow a book and get away from it all.Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an age of alternative (选择性的）facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, we need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educate ourselves on the facts and hold the government responsible for them. We need them to have strong public participation(参与).If you agree with me，you shouldnt be silent on this issue. You can write or call directly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also write to both your state Senators (参议员）and your district representative. If you do not know who they are, you can find out here. Let them know this is a beneficial issue because all people use public libraries in their daily life.8. The author thinks that Trumps decision about his budget is_.A. difficultB. practicalC. personalD. wrong9. Unlike kids, adults use libraries to _.A. surf the InternetB. borrow some booksC. do social activitiesD. explore the world10. Which statement about libraries does the author agree with?A. Libraries play a more important role nowadays.B. Information can be stored in libraries forever.C. Government needs libraries more than before.D. Science should be learned in our libraries.11. What is the authors purpose of writing the last paragraph?A. To call on us to disagree with the governments decision.B. To call on us to fight with the American president.C. To encourage us to talk about the issue.D. To persuade us to agree with his viewpoints.DDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isnt to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉) way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.12. The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants _.A. complete an easy taskB. complete a very difficult taskC. take a 12-minute breakD. think of various ways to use an object13. Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?A. They were not actively working to solve the easy task.B. They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.C. They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.D. They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.14. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.B. Your brain knows clearly what youre thinking and doing.C. Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.15. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _.A. brainstorming is important to creative ideasB. daydreaming is a way to improve creativityC. problem-solving skills are important in our livesD. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas well get第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most people want to find ways to travel inexpensively.
