Her parents split up when she was young, and she hasnt seen her dad since she was l0. In June 2020, she and her mom, Shefali Gupta, found out that they would soon be evicted (逐出) from their home. Sareana knew that her mom had money problems.Even before the eviction, Gupta had become very sad. Because she didnt have health insurance, Gupta couldnt get a doctors help for her emotional problems.Sareana took charge of things at home. For example, she often cooked her familys meals. When she and her mom were about to lose their home, it was Sareana who arranged a place for them to stay.For years, Sareana had been an active volunteer with several organizations. She even started her own group, Youth for National Change. It works to support the rights of young people.Sareana called a few adults she had worked with. After finding out about her situation, one couple opened their doors right away. But by August 2020, the couple no longer had room for Sareana and her mom. The two ended up living in their car. They didnt want to go to a homeless shelter out of fear that they could be split up. Through it all, Sareana kept working on projects and studying. “At no point did I let what was going on change my daily routine,” she says.Sareana is homeschooled online and goes to classes at a nearby college. Last fall, school bills began piling up. She had no way to pay them. A friend suggested that she try raising funds online. After a newspaper ran an article about Sareana, donations poured in-nearly $ 30,000! She paid for school and had enough money left to rent a small apartment. She and her mom moved into it in January 2020.1. What happened to Sareana in 2020?A. She lost her father.B. She became homeless.C. Her mom abandoned her.D. Her house was destroyed.2. Sareana started an organization to .A. teach people to cookB. support poor peopleC. earn moneyD. help youth3. Sareana finally found her own apartment .A. by raising moneyB. by doing parttime jobsC. with the help of her friendsD. with the help of her collegeBEarlier this year, my family experienced an unexpected tragedy. The kind of tragedy which knocks you out of yourself and turns your whole world upside down. A tragedy which also caused me to be out of work for three months. It was completely unforeseen and I had no time to put together an out-of-office plan.Ive worked at previous companies where this kind of tragedy would have been handled professionally; I would have been given the legallyrequired money and asked to leave. But at SAS Institute (an American developer of analytics software), my team stepped in and filled in with no questions or hesitations. My work was not left undone. My clients (客户) were patient when those picking up the pieces of projects unrelated to them needed some time to get familiar with the work. My management and colleagues checked on my family regularly. At last, my manager, my entire team and Human Resources Department helped me back to work at my own pace. They even changed my workspace over a weekend to better suit my personal needs before I even came back to work.You see, SAScreatesafamily. The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible. The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needswhether its attending a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor. The Work/Life Office has a wealth of resources for college planning, anger management, sorrow, etc. But, as you can see, it doesnt stop there. Most employees believe that SAS is their family. We rely on each other. We help each other succeed. We celebrate team successes. We hang out after work. Our kids play together. We laugh together and cry together.Sure, we have a lot of convenience benefits at SAS. But, what really makes a difference to me is the SAS culture that the outside world doesnt always see: The balance. The companionship. The management support. The family it allows me to have.Im so eager for others to see the side of SAS that I see every day.4. After the tragedy, the author .A. changed his jobB. felt very hopelessC. was sick for three monthsD. turned to his colleagues for help5. What did the authors colleagues do for him during his absence?A. They raised money to help him.B. They visited his family every weekend.C. They asked his clients to wait for him to return.D. They moved his office desk to a convenient place.6. By saying the underlined words “SAS creates a family” in Paragraph 3, the author means .A. the employees feel at home at SASB. SAS often organizes family get-togethersC. many SAS employees have become couplesD. the offices at SAS are decorated like families7. The author writes the text mainly to .A. tell his life experienceB. introduce SAS cultureC. encourage people to join SASD. explain the importance of familyCI think adults are affected by media, songs, and the Internet, and that is hard enough. After looking in all of the magazines and at models, my friends and I agree that our least favorite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits! It affects your whole mood and self-image for the day. Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe “how hot you look” is how valuable you are.Here are some ways parents can be proactive in encouraging a healthy self-image in their children.First, teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said “She is so pretty,” and then quickly looked at me and said “You are prettier, Mom.” And I said, “Its okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know thats not why you love me.” It is important to teach children this from an early age.Second, tell your kids about “the grass is always greener syndrome.” It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour (魅力), whether it be in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not dehumanize and judge famous people. Talk about what problems they might have that are different from the problems your child has and maybe some of the same struggles, like maybe wanting acceptance from peers (同龄人).At last, use your mouth. Dont be afraid to have conversations with your child about how theyre feeling about ads, songs, etc. Boys too! You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you dont believe sends the right message to your children!8. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Singing with friends.B. Learning swimming skills.C. Showing imperfect figures.D. Reading fashion magazines.9. The authors son said “You are prettier, Mom” probably .A. to praise his motherB. to comfort his motherC. because he didnt like starsD. because he really thought so10. What syndrome is mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Lots of people like judging others.B. Kids want to be popular in school.C. People tend to like famous singers.D. People always think others life is better.11. In the last paragraph, the author advises parents to .A. set limits for their kidsB. make friends with their kidsC. teach their kids how to be confidentD. encourage their kids to be themselves.DSafety is a huge concern whenever I run with my earphones in. But I need music to run. Otherwise all I hear is the sound of my own breathing. So Ive found a compromise: I run with only one earphone in. The music sounds off. Its an imperfect solution.An updated pair of headphones, called AfterShokz, aim to do better. AfterShokz bills itself as using bone conducting technology to conduct music from the front of the ear, delivering sound through your cheekbone and inner ear. This keeps your eardrum (鼓膜) free to hear everything else.“Earbuds (耳塞式耳机) are typically designed to block out all sound, which is fine when youre inside. But when youre outside, you need all your senses. It would be like sending you out cycling with a blindfold on,” says Rod Annet, managing director of AfterShokz.Heres where AfterShokz comes in. The headphones hook over the back of your head with the main “bud” resting high up against your cheek. This keeps your ear free to delight in other sounds.So do they work? In a word, yes. During a 45-minute jog, they didnt bounce or shift. I heard far more of my environment than I normally do: a nearby bike there; a runner passing me again to my left; and so forth.What about the downsides? If youre a huge fan of high-quality sound, you might find the headphones a bit tinny. One friend expressed concerns about missing the ability to get lost in the music as you might be distracted by other noises, although I personally didnt find that an issue.Yet those are all minor details. For me, probably the biggest problem is the price. Ranging between 49.96 to 83.29, AfterShokz headphones arent exactly cheap.With all that considered, would I recommend them? Yes. AfterShokz headphones are quite useful. While out jogging, they were light, painless, and easy to use. They made me feel safer.12. What is special about AfterShokz headphones?A. They are a good choice for inside use.B. They allow users to hear other sounds.C. They can make music sound more beautiful.D. They can deliver sound through your eardrum.13. What does the authors friend think of AfterShokz headphones?A. They prevent users getting lost.B. They deliver highquality sound.C. They often move while users are running.D. They fail to allow users to enjoy the music.14. The author thinks AfterShokz headphones .A. are too expensiveB. seem quite uselessC. make users feel painD. are too complex to use15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To express worries.B. To introduce a product.C. To share a personal story.D. To complain about a product.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。Is conversation a lost art?The next time you eat at a restaurant, take some time to look around you.What do you notice? 16 How many of them are engaged (忙于) in facetoface conversations?

This can make it harder to keep healthy relationships as an adult.F.

The activity, which lasted for two days, were great, and I made much good friends. However, we were from different cities, so it would be difficulty for us to meet each other very often. On my way home, I started talking to the girl next me, who also took part in the holiday. I found I had so much in the common with her and I decided to go back together next year. This activity not only helped me improve my health, but also helped me meet different peoples. I would like to taking part in other similar activities on the futu
