23、   Even if you love school, it can be hard to stay excited about doing homework. Just like with any other kind of work, it's important to set personal goals and find your own inspiration to keep going. So you help yourself focus by caring for yourself and organizing your time wisely while you work.

【1】

It's hard to focus on homework if you're tired, hungry, or uncomfortable. Try to get enough sleep if you know you'll have to do a lot of homework the next day, and don't try to work on an empty stomach! If you feel physically tense, do some yoga or light stretches before you begin to work. Doing breathing exercises can also help you feel more comfortable.

 【2】

Your environment can make a big difference in how well you focus on your work. Before you begin doing your homework, find a place that is quiet, well-lit, and gives you enough space to spread out. You'll want a place where you can sit comfortably, but don't get too comfortable. Don't do homework in sofa or bed, which makes you want to fall asleep!

【3】

You'll get burnt out and lose focus quickly if you try to work too long without a break. Try working for an hour to an hour and a half and then taking a 15-minute break. This will give your tired brain a chance to rest. During your breaks, you can go for a walk, have a snack, drink some water, or even put your head down for a short sleep.

【4】

If you've reached the point where you can't stand to look at your homework any more, try changing to another task for a while. This way you can give your brain a break. For example, if you've been working on writing an article for an hour or two, take a break and then change to doing some math problems. Don't try to do more than one task at once, though.

 【5】

It may be tempting to put off big, difficult tasks for last and do the easy ones first. However, letting the more important tasks wait will finally lead to fear, impatience, and missed deadlines. Make an ordered list of all your tasks. Try to finish ones that are due soon, or seem like they will be the most difficult to complete. Put ones that aren't due for a while or that you know you can finish quickly and easily at the bottom.

A.Do the most important or difficult tasks first.

B.Take care of your physical needs before working.

C.Treat yourself when you meet a homework goal.

D.Change between different tasks to help you stay sharp.

E.Find a quiet and comfortable work space.

F.Take enough breaks while you work for a long time.

24、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

25、   What do astronauts eat in space? Do they eat special food? What will astronauts eat when a space trip takes years?

“Lots of fresh vegetables,” says Dr. Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station. And it’s a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.

As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room. He had planted Dr. Williams’s quick-growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were growing. He opened the room to check and found the problem. The stems weren’t growing upward and the roots

weren’t growing downward. On Earth, gravity helps a plant’s stems and roots to find “up” and “down”. However, in the space station, there was no gravity.

Dr. Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light, as plants also use sunlight to find their way. And it worked. When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down.

Now Dr. Williams was free to worry about the next problem: Would her baby  plants live to flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?

Many plants died in the space station. Dr. Williams thought she knew the reason: the space plants were hungry for air. Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air. Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2 close to its surface. On Earth, the air is always moving. Gravity pulls down cold air, and warm air rises. And with these air movements, plants get enough CO2.

Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms. Dr. Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move. The plants loved it. They flowered and even produced more seeds. Using Dr. Williams’s method, astronaut George completed the first seed-to-seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space.

“And this,” says Dr. Williams, “is good news for long-term space travel.”

【1】Why have Dr. Williams’s team tried to grow plants in space?

A．To produce fresh air for astronauts.

B．To help astronauts relax themselves.

C．To provide food for long space journeys.

D．To make the space garden more beautiful.

【2】How did light help solve the problem mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．It caused the gravity to change.

B．It encouraged the plants to grow faster.

C．It helped the plants to grow in the right direction.

D．It showed the astronauts where to plant vegetables.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A．The moving air.

B．The fan.

C．The closed room.

D．The space.

26、One day an American man Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat (公寓) was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But a man told him that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why? In fact, the British (英国人) call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, but Americans would call it the second floor.

The story shows that there are a few culture (文化) differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

The British don’t like showing their feelings. They hardly start a small talk with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They’re more active and easier to talk with.

The British and Americans may use different words for the same things. The British use “football”, “holiday” and “autumn”, but Americans like to use “soccer”, “vacation” and “fall”.

【1】What did Simon go to London to do?

A．To visit his friend.

B．To spend his holiday.

C．To study English.

D．To have a meeting.

【2】According to the passage, the British usually spend their time ________on the train.

27、Different countries have different customs and cultures. Every culture around the world has different customs and ways of communicating. When you learn a language, you learn more than words.

In China, people are used to saying “sorry” to show that they regret doing something wrong. But it’s very proud for American people to have polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word “sorry”—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!” It’s quite different in China. They use the word “sorry” in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (定义) of “sorry” are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you’ve done something wrong.

So what does “sorry” really mean? And why do western people use it so much? Well, in western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. If you want to borrow something from others, you’d better say “sorry” to them about something. Or it’s hard for you to get what you want. So maybe saying “sorry” is not only just being polite, but also a good method to get what you want!

【1】How many examples of the use of “sorry” are given by Americans in the second paragraph?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【2】When do people in America say “sorry” according to the passage?

A．When they regret doing something wrong.

B．When they ask strangers for help.

C．When they greet people for the first time.

D．When they arrive at a place early.

【3】What does the underlined word “appointment” in the passage mean?

A．Idea.

B．Class.

C．Date

D．Safety.

【4】In which country do people say “sorry” to get what they want?

A．Japan.

B．China.

C．Korea.

D．Germany.

【5】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．How to Say “Sorry” Correctly.

B．The Different Meanings of “Sorry”.

C．Why Western People Say “Sorry”

D．Why Chinese People Say “Sorry”
