I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.

A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my elder b rother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my elder brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly to wake everyone in the house. However, before we could do anything, the fire had consumed the old and wooden house.

I stood there shivering（发抖）while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things. As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren't things. I saw my elder brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my eldest brother who was on crutches（拐杖）from an earlier accident standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was essential had survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.

I still think of that fire at night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly essential in life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we possess.

Live your life then for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of

you make this world a warmer place. Let your soul shine bright.

24. Who first found the house was on fire?

A. The author

B. The grandma

C. The elder brother.

D. A passer-by

25. What did the author do when they all made it outside?

A. Crying and running quickly.

B. Sighing and discussing what to eat.

C. Trembling and thinking about the future.

D. Freezing and trying to find warm clothes.

26. What was the author’s attitude towards the fire?

A. Hateful.

B. Grateful.

C. Indifferent.

D. Worried.

27. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. We all have each other

B. The magic of a fire.

C. Growing up with memory.

D. Ways to be a better man.

C

We all know the feelings waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say to yourself --- it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.

According to New York magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries, the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.

A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about

now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up you’re able to move forward and face the future.

A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something familiar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.

“ We think nightmares are so common that they have some purposes to process stressors,” Anne G ermain, director of the Sleep and Chronobiology Center at the University of Pittsburgh, told CNN in 2017.

So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes far more problems than dreams do.

28. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?

A. strengthen

B. remove

C. satisfy

D. reflect

29. Why does the author mention the study in Paragraph 4?

A. To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam.

B. To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.

C. To show medical school entrance exams will cause anxiety.

D. To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.

30. According to the author, what should we do if we have a bad dream?

A. Keep ourselves awake.

B. Relax and go on sleeping.

C. Study it carefully.

D. Prevent it from happening.

31. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A diary.

B. A guidebook.

C. A novel.

D. A magazine.

NASA’s Opportunity rover has reached the end of its life. Initially designed to last 90 days, and to travel only 1,000 meters, Opportunity in fact spent almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars. During that time, it traveled more than 45 kilometers than expected.

The last signal from Opportunity was on June 10th, 2018, when a severe global dust storm enveloped Mars. Since then, NASA has spent eight months trying to regain communication with the rover, but had no result. On Tuesday February 12th, 2019, NASA made one final attempt to wake Opportunity up, but it was unsuccessful. Before Opportunity was sent into space, the Mars Global Surveyor spotted what looked like sedimentary rocks（沉积岩）from orbit in 2000. An Opportunity team member said, “On Earth, sedimentary rocks preserve the history of the surface of our planet, and within that history, the fossil record of life exists. It is reasonable to look for evidence of past life on Mars.

While the rover didn’t find any actual fossils, Opportunity did provide evidence that the environment on Mars was once much better and warmer. This answered what the major goal of the Opportunity rover was. Opportunity identified sedimentary rocks which basically meant the presence of water. But not everything went smoothly for Opportunity to achieve the goal of exploration. At one point in 2005, all its six wheels were stuck in soft sand, and it took five weeks of hard work to get the rover out.

Opportunity was one of the most successful rovers ever. During its journey on Mars, Opportunity discovered “ Heat Shield Rock ”, a basketball-sized meteorite（陨石）which is made mostly of iron and nickel. It also gave us a massive number of photos of Mars with which people have done some amazing things. Bodrov, a photographer, took images from Opportunity to create a 360-degree view of Victoria Crater on Mars.

Although Opportunity has reached the end, the legacy（遗产）that the rover produced for us will last for a long time. With the technological development, perhaps the day is not so far-off when brave astronauts walk on the surface of Mars.

32. What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 mainly show?

A. Opportunity’s journey on Mars hasn’t ended yet.

B. Opportunity was overused for more than 2 decades.

C. Opportunity’s performance was better than expected.

D. Opportunity explored Mars within the assigned time.

33. What made Opportunity lose communication with NASA at last?

A. A dust storm.

B. A rock.

C. The soft sand.

D. The broken wheels.

34. Why was Opportunity sent to Mars?

A. To explore the environment on Mars.

B. To discover the climate conditions on Mars.

C. To survey the history of the surface of Mars.

D. To find differences between rocks on Earth and on Mars.

35. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 5?

A. To tell how Opportunity worked on Mars.

B. To show what contributions Opportunity made.

C. To introduce how “Heat Shield Rock” was discovered.

D. To explain what images Bodrov took from Opportunity.
