Its my great honor(荣誉) to be here to say “Happy Teachers Day!” to all the teachers here. This is my sixth year in Chongqing No.1 Middle School, and its the sixth Teachers Day for me to show my thanks to all the teachers in this golden autumn. I have changed a lot during the past six years. I used to be short, but now I become a seven-feet-tall young man. I lost myself in the past, but now I am outgoing and hard-working. Of course, you also changed a lot. I can find the grey hair and wrinkles on your forehead. I once thought teachers were always young, because in the deep memory of me, I always remember their pretty faces and smiling voice.Thank you, my teachersyou make us confident(自信).

You must not be the only one. It could be helpful if you write the words again and again. But sometimes it doesnt work. Now, researchers(学者) from the University of Waterloo, Canada, thought of a new idea. They suggest(建议) drawing a picture of what you are trying to memorize! The researchers did a study based on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “dentist”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds. Then the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture. When the time was over, the researchers asked the students to do other things, like singing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words as they could remember. The results showed that students who drew the words did a much better job than those who wrote them. So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, draw it! Dont worry if youre not good at drawing. The researchers say the quality of the drawing is not important at all. If you dont draw well, you can still memorize the word. 58. The right order(顺序) of the study is _. (1). They gave students 60 seconds to write down as many words as they could remember. (2). They gave students 40 seconds to memorize the words. They can write or draw the words. (3). Students take a break. They can sing a song and do other things. A. (1)(2)(3) B. (2)(1)(3)C. (3)(2)(1)D.

The underlined word “quality” means _ in Chinese. A. 数量 B. 质量 C. 结果D. 原因 61. The best title of this passage is_. A. Its Difficult to Memorize Words B. A Study on Memorizing Words by Drawing C. Say Words Aloud D. The Quality of DrawingDThe TV show called A Love for Separation(小别离) is becoming more and more popular these days. It is about the happiness and sadness of three families in China who wants to send their middle school children abroad(出国) for further study. Famous actors like Hai Qing, Huang Lei and Chinese music band TFBOYS star in A Love for Separation”. It is from a best-selling book, so many people love it. It describes the lives of young people, the problems they face and how they work them out.After the show became popular, parents talked a lot about the TV show. They are wondering if they should send their children abroad or not. Different people have different ideas. Some people believe that studying abroad is much more expensive. Kids are too young to live in other countries by themselves. But now more parents are interested in sending children to the west for their better future. They believe children can learn another language better and know more about foreign culture. Studying abroad gives children the chances to learn better technology (技术), broaden their horizon and changes(改变) their lives.From 1978 to 2020, a total number of 1,700,200 Chinese students studied in 108 countries all over the world. In the first 20 years, most of the students did a good job in the west. After finishing their study, they went back. These Haigui did many important things and brought back new technology to China, such as Li YanHong the CEO of Baidu, Li Kaifu and Zhang Chaoyang. Second, with encouragement of government policy(政策鼓励), more young people left China to study abroad. Most people liked their life in the west, so they decided to live there and never went back. However, parents soon found that many kids didnt like the lonely life in the west and studying abroad was not good for them. Parents paid a lot, but kids did worse in the west than in China. So now, many parents are more serious about it. They ask their children about their ideas and let kids make their own decisions, because there are more good universities in China for them to choose now. 62.

And the most surprising thing she told me was that we hardly saw a sanitation (环卫) worker on those streets!This summer, I went to Japan, too. From airports to railway stations, streets and toilets, wherever we went was clean. People say that Japan is the cleanest country in the world although we hardly see cleaners on the street. How could it be? I finally got to know the truth from a Japanese: most Japanese dont eat while they are walking. They never talk loudly on the subway. They clean the toilets after using them. And people always sort out(分类) the rubbish(垃圾), following the law. Just as the famous saying goes, “One for all, all for one”. As far as I can see, Japanese people are quite serious and disciplined. Because of this, they can focus on one thing and can be successful in a number of fields. According to a WHO report, Japanese people have the longest life in the world. In Japan, the elderly
