I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in ‘‘Section L’’. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville". It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana's texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, and I had to try to make things better.
The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!
I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in "Loserville", and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.
But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about
suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore. Even though I couldn't change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.
24.“Loserville" is a section for _________.
A. failures
B. good students
C. class secrets
D. newcomers
25. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because_________.
A. Ana didn't text back to her
B. her friends hurt her feelings
C. she was unfairly treated
D. she was a good student
26. What made a difference in changing the situation?
A. She went back to Illinois.
B. She ended friendship with Ana.
C. She fought back with her classmates.
D. She began to make friends with others.
27. The best title for the passage can be_________.
A. Lasting Friendship
B. An Incidence at School
C. Say Goodbye to "Loserville"
D. Unhappiness in "Loserville”
C
Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourist industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.
Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence （Al）, computing power, and drone （无人机）technology to identify and warn lifesavers about sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones — called “Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers M”—in the search and rescue movement in Australia.
Shark Spotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as ‘‘deep learning’’, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers.
If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod（漂浮仓）together with an electronic shark repellent（驱逐装置）that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble,trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.
In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.
We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing Al and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.
28.Shark Spotter is _________. .
A. a solution to monitoring sharks
B. an equipment to identify lifesavers
C. a technology to prevent shark attacks
D. a project to pioneer the use of drones
29. When a shark is spotted near a swimmer,the system will .
A. take timely action
B. analyze the visual data
C. classify the identified objects
D. turn on ‘‘deep learning’’ mode
30. The example m the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is .
A. efficient in saving lives
B. effective in detecting sharks
C. smart in driving sharks away
D. practical over the whole sea area
31. What is the author's attitude towards the future of Shark Spotter?
A.Doubtful.
B. Optimistic.
C. Negative.
D. Objective
D
I've enjoyed countless gatherings of Thanksgiving, from traditional family gatherings to feasts with many new faces. Yet at age 65, I have never spent the holiday with a husband or children of my own.
If you feel pity for me, please don’t ——I am proud of the decision I made decades ago to change from life’s conventional road map, and I have no regrets about it. I enjoy being alone.
I found my life deeply rewarding. At the same time, I was fascinated with the question of why my adult life as a single person was not as valued by the people around me or by society. When people learned I was single with no children, they assumed my life had a hole that needed filling.
I wondered: Was it just me, or were other single people viewed the same way? I teamed up with my colleague, Wendy Morris, and she and I began a series of studies investigating how people characterize single and married people. The research shows that single people typically have more friends than married people do. They also do more to help, support, and stay in touch with their parents, friends, and neighbors.
I’ve lived my life in cheerful, unapologetic refusal of the “get married, have kids” road map. But getting married is deeply ingrained in our society, and it can be difficult to break completely free of the marriage-plus-children ideal.
The research and the books, though, are not enough. We all need to think about life more open-mindedly. Instead of asking whether you do or don't want to marry or have kids, ask: What will make your life meaningful and fulfilling? When you think about it that way, the possibilities are limitless.
32. What do we know about the author?
A. She enjoys living in a lonely house.
B. She seldom stays with her husband.
C. She feels regretful about her life.
D. She prefers to live her life alone.
33. How do the people think about the author’s single life?
A. rewarding
B. empty
C. valuable
D. fascinating
34. What did the author find in her research?
A. Single people are more helpful.
B. Single people are not respected.
35. What's the meaning of the underlined word “ingrained” in the fifth paragraph?
A. influenced
B. disturbed
C. rooted
D. hurt

How to Overcome Procrastination (拖延症)
If you've ever put off an important task, you know it wouldn’t be fair to describe yourself as lazy. This is just procrastination.
“Procrastination” is derived from the Latin verb procrastinare — to put off until tomorrow. But it's more than just voluntarily delaying. 36 . It means doing something against our better judgment.
We must realize that procrastination is about emotions, not productivity. 37 . Nor are we able to overcome it only by learning ways of self-control. It has to do with managing our emotions in a new way.
38 . This is what researchers found. Students who were able to forgive themselves for procrastinating when studying for a first exam ended up procrastinating less when studying for their next exam. They concluded that self-forgiveness might guarantee future success. It allows students to move pass their improper behavior and focus on the next exam without burden.
Another choice is to make your temptations (诱惑) less attractive. 39 . We can put obstacles between ourselves and our temptations to create a sense of frustration or anxiety. If you keep checking your social media, say, your WeChat, delete those apps from your phone for a while.
Researchers also suggested that we make the things we want to do as easy as possible for ourselves. 40 , sleep in your exercise clothes.
A.That may be easier said than done
B.One choice is to explore our curiosity
C.If you feel like running early in the morning
D.So we can’t just download a time management app
E.One option is to forgive yourself when you procrastinate
F.Procrastination also came from the ancient Greek word akrasia
G.It’s still easier to change our surroundings than changing ourselves

A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and asked, “It looks like you’ve got a problem, ” Arthur said.
“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said，“Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank. There had been a robbery(抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?”But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that？” He thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief！”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.

Dear Leo,
I am sorry to hear about your communication problems with your parents, but I know how you feel since I’ve had similar problems before. I can offer some useful suggestions based on my own experience. First, let’s put ourselves in their shoes. Parents love us and often try to prevent us from making mistakes that seem obvious to them. When we share our problems with them, we often look for a listening ear and an open heart, not a solution. Therefore, what you need is to tell them about this difference and believe them. I hope these suggestions will make a difference to you. Best,
Li Hua

to run until he saw and caught a taxi in front of him.He quickly put the suit case in the car and said to the driver，“Please hurry to the Police Station. I have a case to report to the police；the man shouting behind is the bank thief！” The taxi raced away to the Police Station like an arrow.
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station and Arthur said to the police who had been waiting and who had already received the robbery report，“This suitcase is that of the bank robber.It may be filled with the money stolen from the bank.I hand it to you.Please get ready to arrest the man.”
