It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity(慈善) and was on the train back

home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had

helped.

When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous

and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on

doing this for every day of the year?

To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was

charity. February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right

away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store

opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old

board games for our kids to play; …

While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving

from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me

the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.

In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role

models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite

restaurant. It went like this:

Dear Julie,

I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful

and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the

number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日）. We talk about it every year.

Thank you. We miss you.

Love,

Gina

I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever

received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this

helps.”

On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I

took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.

（谢意）4．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means _________.

A．writing thank-you notes

C．putting the phone away

B．taking the train back home

D．giving money for charity

7．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?

A．Many thanks from her neighbors.

C．More help from people around her.

With the development of economics (经济), the problem of left-behind children (留守儿童) has become a serious social problem. More and more people have realized we should do

something to help them.

One of the biggest problems is that the children are all hungry for the love from their

parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or

even several years, which makes some children lost their parents’ faces. When they meet their

own troubles, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care.

Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the

second biggest problem. From a survey (调查) about their study, only two percent of the

children get good results, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of

them are poor. What a pity!

There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability

to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and being crazy

about Internet and so on.

In a word, to solve all the problems of the left-behind children needs the government,

families and schools to try their best together.

8．How many problems are mentioned (提及) in the passage?

A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．More than four.

B．More time to appreciate her own life.

D．Happy moments to be with her friends.

9．Which is the most serious problem of the left-behind children according to the passage?

A．They don’t study well.

C．They are crazy about the Internet.

B．They can’t get enough love from parents.

D．They spend too much pocket money.

10．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A．Ten percent of the left-behind children are good at study.

试卷第3页，共8页

B．When left-behind children meet troubles, they always have grandparents to talk with.

C．The left-behind children’s problem is a social problem.

D．Only families can do their best to help the left-behind children.

11．What is the structure of the passage?

A． B． C． D．

With schools closed and restrictions（限制）on public activities, it can be a difficult time

for young people, who suddenly can’t spend time with their friends and family in person.

However, the situation has already led to some creative ways of using technology to

keep in touch with those people, from video calls and group chats（聊天）to online games.

Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real

life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.

“Keeping relationships is very important for health,” says Dr Amanda Gummer, creator

of Dr Gummer’s Good Play Guide. She adds that this is more important the older you get.

“Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school

when you can,” she says.

Chatting apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group

chats to keep in touch. “Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider

friendship group,” says Gummer.

Sharna Jackson, an expert on young people and technology, has lots of ideas too. She

suggests taking turns to teach friends something you’re really good at—such as painting and

drawing, perhaps. She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can

play a really good role.

“It’s good to play together. It’s social, there’s problem-solving and turn-taking, and it

helps you develop different skills,” she says.

12．According to the passage, young people will ________ when they can’t stay with friends.

A．be afraid of growing up

C．experience a hard time

B．fail to pass the exams

D．stop talking with other people

13．The underlined word “maintaining” probably means “________”.

A．stopping B．ending C．keeping D．choosing

试卷第4页，共8页

14．The passage mentions the following ways of keeping in touch EXCEPT（除……之外）________.

A．talking to friends on the Internet

C．teaching friends online

15．What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Away from friends

C．Alone at home

B．Together with technology

D．Back to school

B．playing online games

D．buying gifts for friends online

Dear Li Hua,

Today in English class we had a discussion about doing chores. Many students think it’s

good to do chores and they often help their parents. To be honest, I don’t like doing chores.

They’re boring and tiring. I know I should help my parents, but I’m tired after a whole school

day. Do you think we should help with the housework? What chores do you do at home?

Best wishes!

Yours,

Mary
