Today’s Topic: PROTECTING YOURSELF
Tom: When I’m walking home from school, I always pick busy streets. There are more people around, so it makes me feel safer. And I never talk to strangers (陌生人). ★You matter! Keeping yourself safe is super important. It’s all about making sure you can have a happy and worry-free life. ★Learning how to protect yourself is like having a special protection. It helps you stay away from things that could be bad for you. ★Taking good care of yourself means you’re ready to enjoy all the fun things in life without being scared. ——Advice from Lily White (Lily White is an expert who cares much about children’s safety. You can visit her website www. to find even more great tips.)
Amy: When I’m online, I’m really careful. I would never share my home address or my telephone number. Only my real friends can chat (聊天) with me online.
Jack: When I’m in the park, I keep a close eye on my things. I don’t want anyone to take it. And I make sure I don’t go to dark or empty places by myself.
Stay Prepared Outside! When you’re walking around outside, look all around you. Notice what’s happening on the street. Don’t put your headphones on too loud. You need to be able to hear if something strange is going on. If you see someone acting strange, cross the street or walk in the other direction. Be Careful Online! Don’t tell people online where you go to school or when your birthday is. These are things that strangers could use to find you. Make sure your passwords are strong. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. And don’t click on links from people you don’t know. Trust Your Feelings! Your feelings are like a little alarm inside you. If something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable listen to that feeling. It’s your body telling you that something might not be right. Leave the place or person as fast as you can. Learn Simple Safety Moves! You can learn some easy ways to protect yourself if someone tries to hurt you. For example, you can learn how to push away from someone or how to shout for help.

New research coming out of Tohoku University says that wasabi (芥末) is good for the ability to remember. Wasabi, a spicy green paste, is widely used in Japanese dishes.
A recent study tested people between the ages of sixty and eighty. Some of the test members took a certain amount of wasabi every night before going to bed. The others were given a placebo (无效对照剂). After three months, the people who took the wasabi had much better results in memory tests. The placebo-takers did not show any improvement.
Wasabi was already known to have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory called 6-MSITC that is rare (稀少) in other plants. Scientists believe a chemical called 6-MSITC might change how the brain’s “memory center-hippocampus (海马体)” works. They will continue researching with the hope that wasabi can help people that are experiencing dementia (痴呆症).
This new research seems to be good news for sushi-eaters. However, ▲ . Instead, it is white horseradish (辣根酱) that has been colored green. Real wasabi is difficult to grow and, as a result, is very expensive. It also needs to be made and served fresh at once before being eaten.
4. According to paragraph 2, who can have better memory
A. Early sleepers. B. Placebo takers.
C. People between 60 and 80. D. People who keep eating wasabi for 3 months.
5. What in wasabi has something to do with memory improvement
A. Dishes B. 6-MSITC. C. Placebo. D. Hippocampus.
6. Which can be the best to fill in the blank ________
A. wasabi is not a popular paste around the world
B. most people in Japan don’t think the research is true
C. most wasabi that is served in Japan is not real wasabi
D. fresh wasabi is so expensive that people can’t eat it very often
7. What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To discuss the health risks of eating spicy food.
B. To explain the way of making sushi with wasabi.
C. To compare real wasabi with green-colored horseradish.
D. To introduce a new study on wasabi from a Japanese university.

Jenny Miller was born in Lima, Peru. Her parents were French scientists. Her dad studied animals, and her mom was an expert on birds. When Jenny was 14, her family moved to the Amazon to build a research station called Panguana. There, Jenny learned how to live in the rainforest, like how to find food and water, and how to stay safe from dangerous animals.
On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Jenny was on a plane. She was going to the Panguana Biological Station in Peru with her mother. It was a common journey at first. However, the plane broke apart in the air. You can imagine Jenny’s fear! Jenny amazingly survived (幸存) the fall from nearly 10,000 feet. She was still tied to her seat by a seatbelt at that time.
After the accident, Jenny was left alone and badly hurt in the middle of the Peruvian rainforest. She only had one shoe and a broken skirt. The rainforest was very dangerous, with snakes hiding in the dead leaves on the ground. She remembered what her parents taught her and started walking. She followed a river because she thought it was safer.
The weather was terrible: very hot during the day, very cold at night, and heavy rain often made things harder. She only ate candy until it was gone. After nine days’ walking through the dangerous rainforest, she found a camp by accident. Workers there helped her and took her to a village. Then, she flew on a plane to a hospital.
Jenny was the only person who lived from the accident. After she got better, she helped a search team find the crash site (坠落点) and the people who didn’t survive, including her mother.
Her story was later made into a documentary (纪录片), and her book When I Fell From The Sky came out then.
8. What can we know about Jenny’s parents
A. They were both doctors. B. They built a station to study leaves.
C. They taught Jenny skills to save life. D. They were both on the plane with Jenny.
9. How did Jenny’s feeling change during the airline travel
A. From sad to excited. B. From calm to afraid.
C. From amazed to bored. D. From angry lo surprised.
10. What’s the main idea of the third and fourth paragraphs
A. How Jenny made a camp alone.
B. The process of the unlucky accident in Jenny’s book.
C. How Jenny fought against the danger in the rainforest.
D. The result of the searching action with the help of Jenny.
11. Which can most probably be the name of the documentary
A. Wings of Hope B. City of the Sky C. Sounds of Nature D. Cry of the River
D
The MBTI(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a popular personality (性格、气质) test. It helps people understand themselves and their personality better. Taking the MBTI test is quite easy. For 15-20 minutes, you answer a set of questions about things you like or dislike and how you usually act or behave. These questions show four important dimensions (方面、维度) of your personality:
Extroversion (E) vs Introversion (I)
This dimension shows if you are more outgoing and energetic by social activities (E) or if you feel more energetic after being alone (For example, you like to think about your feelings or write in a diary.) because big groups make you feel tired (I).
Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
This looks at how you get information. Sensing (S) types depend on facts, details, and practicality, while Intuitive (N) types focus on possibilities, patterns, and big-picture thinking.
Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)
This dimension examines how you make decisions. Thinking (T) types look for logic and objectivity (逻辑和客观性), while Feeling (F) types consider values, feelings, and personal matters.
Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)
How do you get things done This part shows how you finish homework or projects. Judging (J) people like to plan ahead, keep things organized and stick to (坚持) plans, while Perceiving (P) people often make last-minute decisions and enjoy changing plans.
Once you have answered all the questions, you receive a four-letter code like “ENFP” or “ISTJ”. This code tells about your personality. For example, if you get “ENTJ”, it means you are an Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging person. Some companies use MBTI to help test if a candidate’s (应聘者) personality goes with a job role. This seems unfair. People are varied, and a simple four-letter code cannot fully express their future abilities.
The MBTI is fun, but remember it’s mainly a test to learn about yourself. It can show what you naturally do and help you see your strong points and weak points. However, it should not be used for big decisions like choosing your future job or picking whom to be friends with, etc.
12. According to the text how many kinds of MBTI for people in all
A. Two. B. Four. C. Eight. D. Sixteen.
13. Which one is more likely to get “ENTJ”
A. Kevin likes to talk with his friends and change plans.
B. Judy is used to keeping quiet in her class and she always help others.
C. Danny likes to join different activities and is good at his logical thinking.
D. Kim always checks details carefully and she cares about her own feelings inside.
14. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “varied”
A. personal B. different C. natural D. outgoing
15. What’s probably the writer’s opinion about MBTI
A. MBTI brings danger to people.
B. MBTI can fully explain people’s abilities.
C. MBTI helps people to know themselves better.
D. MBTI helps a lot in making important decisions.
第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分
阅读下面材料，从下面所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入第1—4小题，并回答第5小题。
Noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) bring you a quiet world, but using them for too long might be bad for your brain, according to The New York Post.
________
Doctors from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing subtitles (字幕) to watch videos.
________
However, their ears are healthy, it’s their brains that are in trouble. This problem is known as APD (听觉处理障碍). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.
________
To hear clearly, our brains must practice telling sounds apart. Noise-canceling headphones block background sounds, so our brains get less practice. Experts say this can make our brains “lazy” because they only focus on what we want to hear.
________
Noise travels in waves (波) through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone (麦克风) to stop noise with opposite sound waves.
This technology can be bad if you use it too much. However, it is still helpful for people working in noisy places.
A. Helpful But Risky
B. Rising Ear Troubles
C. Two Ways to Stop Noise
D. Healthy Ears, Stressed Brains
E. Quiet Headphones, Lazy Brains
