What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous（紧张的）the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 a.m. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde（金黄色的）girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving（招手）at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my mew friends feel the same way too.

My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting out, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.
It was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was to heavy. “I have to pull over.” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse -- it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.
“Get out, e on!” Amber cried. “I can’t.” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone. “There’s been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)!” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber’s eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber’s cut was an eye specialist. We couldn’t have asked for better care.
In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We’d left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.

31. What can be the best title for the text

C. Kind angels saved the day D. My two kind daughters

People in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an increasing number of old people living alone. Japan is on a fast track to “ultra-age”(老龄化) with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2019; it was 26.7 percent in 2017. On the other hand, the number of births in 2019 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records began in 1899.
Demand for care services for elderly people has increased. A shrinking (缩小) working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. State-provided facilities (国有设施) for the elderly are not enough, which causes elderly people to turn to private ones but they are expensive.
The country will be short of 380,000 of health nurses by2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly
Japan provides a case study for China. which is also faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2019, about 630,000 fewer than in 2018. People aged 60 accounted for 17.3 of China’s population in 2019. With a shortage of elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply, China may find it hard to deal with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens.
To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action.
32. What do we learn about the old Japanese
A. more and more old Japanese prefer to live on their own.
B. A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age.
C. Some old Japanese remain active with the help of robots.
D. Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population.
33. What can we know about state-provided care facilities for the elderly in Japan
A. They are expensive. B. They are inconvenient.
C. They are affordable. D. They are fashionable.
34. What do the Japanese do to deal with the shortage of health nurses
A. They hire foreign health nurses. B. They employ advanced robots.
C. They set up more nursing schools. D. They train the elderly to tend themselves.
35. What is the main idea of the last two paragraph
A. Japan has to take action to deal with the aging population.
B. Robots can’t provide emotional support to the elderly.
C. China is now faced with a fast aging population.
D. Japan’s aging population issue is a timely lesson for China.

Many teenagers may have a very confusing time filled with worries in high school. Here are some tips which can help you succeed in the years.
36 You may be faced with too many choices in your life and it’s unwise to try everything. Just focus on your favorite. Consider all the benefits that it brings into your life and then see how you can develop your passion into a possible job choice.
Get away from the friends that offer unfriendly advice and negativity (否定性). There is no place for that kind of behavior at any stage of your life. And you should value yourself highly enough to get rid of these people. 37
Read as much as you can. Pick up a book on anything that increases your knowledge. Stop spending hours in watching your favorite TV shows. 38 You’ll notice in a few days how you begin to see things in a different way.
Limit the time spent on social media. I am 19 years old, so I understand just how much time can be wasted on technology, especially the Internet and cellphones. 39 Instead once you spend that time improving yourself, your life begins to shape and turn into exactly what you want it to be.
Make mistakes. Look at a mistake you’ve made from every possible way and take the lessons from it. 40 You can’t achieve this by trying to be perfect all the time. It’s okay to make mistakes.
A. Get ready to try different things.
B. Know yourself and pick a direction.
C. Instead use that time to improve yourself by reading.
D. Spend less time doing things that add no value to your life.

Pillow (枕头) fighting is moving out of the bedroom and into the boxing ring. The Pillow Fight Championship, or PFC, plans 56 (hold) its first live, pay-to-watch event in Florida 57 January 29,2022.
Steve Williams had the idea of 58 (turn) a children's game into a professional fighting spot. The head of PFG said professional pillow fighting will have the 59 (excite) of hand-to-hand fighting without the violence (暴力) of mixed martial arts, or MMA, and boxing, Ho said it was not a joke.
The athletes in January's event come 60 (most) from MMA and boxing. But Williams said the athletes are not going to get 61 (injure), "The fighters don't like to be hurt, and those 62 want to see good competition just don't want to see violence."
Since many people grew up pillow fighting with 63 (friend) or relatives, Williams hopes the new sport will be popular and can attract a large audience, including children.
“You can call it 64 unusual sport, but we think it's going to have main appeal (吸引力),” he said. “Think about how they mixed country music with rap music and 65 (bring) these different audiences together. That's what we're doing, and we hope it brings in a different kind of viewer."

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Great Monday
Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test that day. I was confident that I would get a high mark. I left my house, and minutes later, I was sitting with my friends on the school bus. We were busy talking about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, a boy named Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot and THUMP! He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan picked himself up, dusted his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment.
The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. It wasn’t long before the lunch bell rang. I met my friends from the cheerleading (啦啦操) team in the dining hall.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans (牛仔裤) was torn down in the middle of my backside.
I froze (僵住). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my broken jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily. Thinking he would join in with those laughing at me, I lowered my head, my face burning with embarrassment. However, Ryan just approached me from behind, quickly took off his jacket, offered it to me and signaling to me to cover my torn jeans. Struggling against my tears, I did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. Finally, I left the courtyard in total/absolute silence.
Paragraph 2:
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him for giving me his jacket and returned it to him. Gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct on the bus, and thanked him for helping me out of an equally embarrassing situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about it, joking he fell like that a lot. I admired his honesty and sense of humour. It was then that I decided he was someone I could be great friends with. Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed!
