On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: "Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months."At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own "boy under the tree".( ) 1.

It is also a great way to get rid of the unwanted things in your home, with a chance of making a little money for yourself.There are slight differences in running a 50/50 sale, but the result is the same: 50% of the money raised goes to the charity; 50% to the seller.One way is the auction（拍卖）. Sellers bring along their unwanted things a few hours before the sale to have them noted down: A little money is needed to enter the sale place. For more money they can keep a place for your unwanted things. They should decide how to deal with the things if theyare unsold: return to them or the charity. In order to attract more buyers for the auction, organizers should do something to please them; they can prepare drinks and a little entertainment for the crowd. The auction then starts. For each thing sold, 50% goes to the charity and 50% to the seller. Remember, this is in aid of charity, if you want to make more money, try eBay, and similar sites where may be some good bargains（讨价还价）to be found for a buyer.Another kind of 50/50 sale is just to put a price ticket on the thing. The selling price was decided by the seller --- sometimes with a little advice from the organizers, who may have more experience of these kinds of sale and know the price at which the things go for Methods of dealing with the nonsold things are to be agree ahead of time.So if you find a 50/50 sale near you, take your unwanted things along and get selling.( ) 1.In a 50/50 sale, people may have a chance of doing the following EXCEPT .A. buying some second-hand goodsB. getting some drinks for freeC. getting entertainmentD. bargaining with the sellers( ) 2. The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to _____________.A. the sellersB. the buyersC. other shops( ) 3.What is the main feature（特点）of a 50/50 sale?A. You will never know who will buy your things.B. Half of the money for each thing sold will be donated to the charity.C. The things you don't like can be sold at the high price.D. The organizers will help you with the sale.( ) 4. If a car was sold for $2,040 in a 50/50 sale, the organizers, the charity and the seller will get_.A. 2040; 0 and $ 0B. 1020; 0 and $ 1020C. 0; 1020 and $102 0D. 1020; 1020 and $ 0( ) 5.

Each year, we pay close attention to the newest gifts hitting the market. Below, we’ve created such a list, choosing some of the hottest items on store shelves right now.Mind Card Game$20.00This is a board game that encourages true teamwork, because the number one rule is “No talking!” If successful, they’ll be amazed at how well they work with their teammates without using any words.Harry Potter Paperback Box Set$80.00If they’re getting sick of borrowing the local library’s copies, then they need a complete collection of Harry Potter books to call their own.

Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart.Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’thave the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.”34．Mrs. Patrick was laughing in shame, because she thought ________.A．she was too old to fly kite B．her girls could fly kites wellC．her husband would made fun of her D．she should do housework instead of playing 35．The underlined sentence “we were all beside ourselves” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A．we were hard on ourselves B．we lost everythingC．we went back home D．we went wild with joy36．The writer decided to take her daughter to the park after she ________.A．thought of the day she flew kites B．realized her job as a motherC．made sure the weather was fine D．finished all the housework37．The writer tells the story of the youngest Patrick boy to show that ________.A．a light heart lives long B．people treasure happy memoriesC．life is full of ups and downs D．childhood friendship lasts foreverChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming version, Duolingo Max. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland alsoplans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.38．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．GPT-4 can create funny pictures.B．GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.C．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.D．GPT-4 cannot respond faster than GPT-3.5. 39．Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?①understanding pictures①coding classic games①producing the layout for a website①changing the tone and style①getting completely correct answers①powering other apps and servicesA．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①40．According to the text, what is true about GPT-4?A．GPT-4 can beat 90% of human test takers in all tests.B．GPT-4 is less preferred by apps and services.C．GPT-4 sometimes is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.D．GPT-4 couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.41．Where is this text most likely from?A．A technology newspaper.B．A science fiction.C．A computer guidebook.D．A fashion magazine.Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.Arms.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive (能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!Head. When you want to show you are confident, keep your head level. However, to befriendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long. And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through. 42．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．People.B．Arms.C．Bodies.D．Movements.43．If you want to look confident, what should you do?A．Move your arms a lot.B．Keep your head level.C．Move your head a little.D．Cross your arms.44．Which of the following movements tells you are nervous?A．Your legs move around a lot more than usual.B．You sit straight and hold your head up.C．You keep the arms to the sides of the body.D．You put on a false face to hide your uneasiness.45．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Body Language, the Most Powerful LanguageB．Arms Tell More than LegsC．Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD．Posture Shows the Mind阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campersshared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: "Tommy mentioned you so many times.I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months."At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own "boy under the tree".（1）Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a(n) .A.instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter（2）How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.OnceB.

CA 50/50 sale is a good way to collect money for the charity（慈善）. It is also a great way to get rid of the unwanted things in your home, with a chance of making a little money for yourself.There are slight differences in running a 50/50 sale, but the result is the same: 50% of the money raised goes to the charity; 50% to the seller.One way is the auction（拍卖）. Sellers bring along their unwanted things a few hours before the sale to have them noted down: A little money is needed to enter the sale place. For more money they can keepa place for your unwanted things. They should decide how to deal withthe things if they are unsold: return to them or the charity. In order to attract more buyers for the auction, organizers should do somethingto please them; they can prepare drinks and a little entertainment for the crowd.The auction then starts. For each thing sold, 50% goes to the charity and 50% to the seller. Remember, this is in aid of charity, if you want to make more money, try eBay, and similar sites where may be some good bargains（讨价还价） to be found for a buyer.Another kind of 50/50 sale is just to put a price ticket on the thing. The selling price was decided by the seller --- sometimes with a little advice from the organizers, who may have more experience of these kinds of sale and know the price at which the things go for Methods of dealing with the nonsold things are to be agree ahead of time.So if you find a 50/50 sale near you, take your unwanted things along and get selling.（1）In a 50/50 sale, people may have a chance of doing the following EXCEPT .A. buying some second-hand goodsB. getting some drinks for freeC. getting entertainmentD. bargaining with the sellers（2）The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to .A. the sellersB. the buyersC. other shops（3）What is the main feature（特点）of a 50/50 sale? A. You will never know who will buy your things.B.Half of the money for each thing sold will be donated to thecharity.C.The things you don't like can be sold at the high price.D.The organizers will help you with the sale.（4）If a car was sold for $2,040 in a 50/50 sale, the organizers, the charity and the seller will get .A. 2040; 0 and $ 0 A. 1020; 0 and $ 1020A. 0; 1020 and $102 0 A. 1020; 1020 and $ 0（5）We can infer from the text that .A.you are asked to donate（捐） $50 before a 50/50 saleB.few people are interested in the 50/50 saleC.your things may not be sold out in a 50/50 saleD.eBay offers you another way of 50/50 sale6.
