A gap year is often a time when young people travel or work to earn more money

for school.

Now, more Americans are showing an interest in the idea of a gap year. In the United States, it is common for you ng people to complete four years of high school at age 17 or 18. After they finish high school in spring, those who decide to attend college usually do so two-to-three months later. In 2016, Malia Obama, daughter of then-president Barack Obama, received a lot of media attention when she made the same choice.

Like Malia Obama, Rosalie Stoke also decided to put off the start of her studies by a year. Stoke was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She studies chemical engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, also known as Virginia Tech. After finishing high school, Rosalie connected with a family in Barcelona, Spain. They agreed to let her live with them and paid her a small amount to help care for their children for seven months. Rosalie studied Spanish during her free time in Barcelona. She then used money she earned from a part-time job she had in high school as well as money from her parents to travel for two months.

She felt different when she returned to the United States to begin her studies at Virginia Tech. She said she felt at ease and that she knew more about herself as a person. Also, when talking with friends who went straight to college from high school, she found many had a difficult time in their first year of college. Some told her they questioned the field of study they had chosen. Others said they felt lost at the college or that they were wasting time doing things like partying.

24. What is Rosalie’s attitude towards a gap year?

A. Cautious.

B. Disapproving.

C. Supportive.

D. Doubtful.

25. Why did Malia Obama become the focus of the media in 2016?

A. She didn’t finish high school.

B. She also took a gap year after high school.

C. She was the daughter of president.

D. She cared for children for her part-time job.

26. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. The benefit of a gap year.

B. The various opinions on a gap

year.

C. The influence of a gap year.

D. The disadvantage of a gap year.

27. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Rosalie studied Spanish during her gap year.

B. A gap year will have a harmful effect on young people’s study.

C. More American young people choose to take a gap year before high school.

D. A gap year will help young people get to better know their future and themselves.

The national anthem(国歌) and the national flag are the most solemn symbols of a nation. In China, playing or singing the national anthem and raising the national flag are routines done on a daily basis at Tiananmen Square, and there are always people traveling long distances to watch the ceremony.

This year's National Day also marked the first day for the national anthem law to take effect, in order to ensure appropriate use of the song “March of the Volunteers.” Inappropriately using the national anthem at private occasions, commercial events or as background music in public places will be taken as illegal. The lawbreakers, including those who deliberately change the lyrics, play or sing the national anthem in a distorted(歪曲的) or disrespectful way, can be detained(拘留)for up to 15 days or face further charge in more serious situations.

The national anthem “March of the Volunteers” with lyrics by poet Tian Han and music composed by Nie Er, honors those who fought on the front during World War II against Japanese invaders in northeast China. The song will be included in textbooks for primary and secondary schools, and people are encouraged to sing the national anthem on appropriate occasions to express patriotism(爱国主义).

Some Chinese internet users worry about whether they will break the law if they cannot sing the song well since they are tone-deaf.

“This is a misunderstanding”, Yu Hai，a CPPCC National Committee member, said “The national anthem legislation urges that the song should be played solemnly on formal occasions to show respect to the Chinese nation. And on important occasions, attendees shall pay respect to the song. So whether one can sing the song well or

not doesn't result in breaking the law.”

28. Which of the following statements is true?

A. It is illegal to play the national anthem on a commercial event.

B. The song will be taught to those who are tone-deaf.

C. The new national anthem law will take effect soon.

D. The pers on who can’t sing the song well will be punished.

29. What does the underlined word “solemnly” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. urgently

B. seriously

C. continually

D. regularly

30. According to the new national anthem law, the lawbreaker will be _____.

A. sentenced to half a year.

B. fined a large amount of money.

C. asked to sing the national anthem.

D. under arrest for two weeks or so.

31. What’s the purpose of the new national anthem l aw?

A. To encourage more citizens to play the song.

B. To show more re spect to our nation.

C. To help people memorize the World War II.

D. To honor the musicians who created the song.

D

Common knowledge says crossword puzzles and a few weird brain exercises are the No. 1 way to keep your brain young. But truth be told, the best brain sharpener may actually be where you live, science says.

In a small pilot study of 25 people, Kansas University researchers used a mapping software calle d Space Syntax to classify “walkable” neighborhoods, or areas with many nearby places to visit and a complex layout. A Walkable Neighborhood is a place where people live within walking distance to most places they want to visit, whether it is school, a grocery store, a park, church, a bank, retail shops, a drug store, and so on. Their data showed that older adults who lived in more walkable neighborhoods scored higher on cognition(认知) tests.

“This could be a relatively small contribution, but it could be i mportant.”

Watts, a researcher in Kansas University says. “We can’t change our age, we can’t change whether we have genetic alleles（遗传等位基因）that put us at risk, but we can change how we live.”

According to Watts, constantly walking in a more complex neighborhood could improve cognitive function for older adults. Plus, with more places to walk to and visit, older adults have more opportunities to socialize and exercise outside of the house.

However, for people with Alzheimer’s(阿兹海默氏症), a complex neighborhood layout could cause a risk; walkability might make it worse if the patients can get confused or lost easily.

Although “walkable” neighborhoods keep older brains sharp, experts warn against concluding that living in a walkable neighborhood can prevent Alzhe imer’s. A bigger follow-up study is in the works to determine why, exactly, walkable neighborhoods have so many brain benefits, Watts says.

32. What do we know about “walkable neighborhoods”?

A. Living in a walkable neighborhood can prevent Alzheimer’s.

B. Walkable neighborhoods make olde r adults stay inside the house.

C. People living there can walk to the grocery store conveniently.

D. It is quite difficult for older adults to walk in a complex layout.

33. Why is a walkable neighborhood beneficial to old adults?

A. It can enable older adults to find their homes easily.

B. It can make older adults live longer.

C. It can make older adults gain good genetic alleles.

D. It can help improve older adults’ cognitive level.

34. What will probably happen to the people with Alzheimer’s if they live in walkable neighborhoods?

A. They will keep their brains more active.

B. They will lose themselves frequently.

C. They will get better medical treatment.

D. They will get on well with others.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. A Way to Sharpen Your Brain.

B. A Solution to Preventing Alzheimer’s.

C. A New Mapping Software.

D. A Complex Neighborhood Layout.

As a student, how to manage your time is part of study. Power tips help you to handle real-life situations and develop first-class time-management skills that will dramatically improve efficiency and results.

Make a detailed study schedule and write it down

You will be more likely to follow through with your study plan if it is clearly written on your calendar. 36 Include your schedule in your cell phone and set regular pop-up reminders that you will have to close before sending your next text message. By doing so, you can develop a routine that you can easily follow.

37

This is a good way to ensure you spend the proper amount of time studying for each class or subject. Devote more time to studying subjects that are new to you or those in which your grade needs improvement. If an exam in one course has been delayed, adjust your study schedule to prioritize more immediate tests and projects. 38 Remember to take advantage of the extra time to review material during short study times each day.

Prepare for temptation

Attending college and earning good grades is almost like a full-time job, so your studies will have to take priority over socializing or other activities. You will compromise at some point, but don’t get discouraged. Rather, learn from your mistakes.

39

Stay organized

Staying organized is vital to avoid wasting valuable time as a student. Since you will be enrolled in several classes at a time, it is important that you organize your class and study materials. 40 Also, when going into a study session, make sure you have anything you need. You don’t want to interrupt your study session by searching your room for flash cards or notes.
