How to Help Kids Grow
All parents have sky-high hopes for their children. They want their children to be confident and content. What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy and productive lives? Experts advise:
1. Helping them find their talents. In order to succeed, children need to feel they're good at something. So expose your children to as many interests as possible; then let them choose those they like best!
2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school and in life than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small they are.
3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young. Four-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and setting the table.
4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making their own decisions increases a child's self-control and boosts their self-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—as long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.
5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother picks on her, step back and let them work it out.
51、 What should parents do so that their children are likely to do well in school? ______
A. Have high expectations on their children.
B. Appreciate their children's achievements.

If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness, can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you're self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier and healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self-aware? It s a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don't be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.
56、 What is the second paragraph mainly about? ______
A. What self-awareness is.
B. What true happiness is.
C. How to find true happiness.
D. How to develop self-awareness.
57、 Knowing yourself is important because ______.
A. it'll make you think more of yourself
B. it'll make you perform better at school
C. it'll help you learn how to ask proper questions
D. it'll help you have a better understanding of others
58、 What does the underlined word "bold" in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese? ______
A．努力的 B．自豪的 C．大胆的 D.耐心的
59、 What's one of the keys to becoming more self-aware? ______
A. Being in high spirits.
B. Discovering your weak points.
C. Having a taste for pleasant music.
D. Learning to get along well with others.
60、 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ______

Online meetings may affect creativity, study finds. Many companies have moved online because of COVID-19, with work meetings around the world taking place on the Internet instead of in the office. But a recent study has found that online meetings may affect creative thinking.
The study, published in Nature, included 602 people who were divided into random pairs. Each pair was given five minutes to think of creative uses for one certain item, and then one minute to choose the most creative idea. Some pairs were asked to work together on a video call, while others worked in person. The results showed that the in-person pairs had more ideas than the virtual pairs.
Some researches were also done to see whether focusing on a screen could affect a person's creativity. Teams working together virtually spent more time looking directly at each other and remembered lots of their surroundings when asked later. The in-person pairs spent more time looking around the room but also had more ideas.
The researchers did the same study with 1,490 engineers. The pairs were asked to think of new product ideas and choose one as an idea for their company. The results were similar to the first study, with the engineers who met in person thinking of more product ideas, and the virtual pairs making slightly better decisions about which idea to choose.
The results suggested that businesses should think carefully about which tasks can be done online, and which—like thinking of new ideas—should be done in person.
61、 According to the passage, under the influence of COVID-19, besides offline meetings, some companies also have meetings ______.
A. airline B. online C. underline D. outline
62、 How many pairs were there in the study published in Nature? ______
A. 602. B. 1,490.
C. 745. D. 301.
63、 What does the phrase "in person" in the passage mean? ______
A. Going somewhere and doing something oneself.
B. Communicating by email.
C. Asking someone else for help.
D. Experiencing something different.
64、 According to the last paragraph, results of the study suggested that ______.
A. if a company wants to get more creative ideas, online meetings should be held
B. all tasks can be done online
C. if a company wants to get more creative ideas, in-person meetings should be held
D. businesses should pay less attention to which tasks can be done online
65、 Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______
A. The study published in Nature showed that online meetings might affect creativity.
B. The study with engineers showed that the virtual pairs made slightly better decisions about which idea to choose.
C. Focusing on a screen can affect a person's creativity.
D. The in-person pairs had fewer ideas than the virtual pairs.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you are required to read a passage and fill in each blank with no more than FIVE words on the ANSWER SHEET.
Like most people, I was brought up to look on life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes through my mind, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important letter to my home in time, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later, I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. "Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?" I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office even if we have to make one for you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints."
From the passage, we understand that the author did not understand the importance of giving away until he was in 66 .
According to the author, you don't have to be 67 in order to give away.
The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because the postman delivered 68 in time.
More than 69 , when the author needed a post office box, many people had applied for post office boxes before him.
The postmaster said they usually get nothing but 70 .
