12．I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers （同齡人） and I live，we tend to accept the rat race values.As students，we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （嘮叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me，so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed，and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement，however，is my successful work in the local old folks' home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates，I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly，assist them with their daily life，and listen to their problems，glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year，I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I reflect on my accomplishments，I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home，so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it，after all.

14．In 1926，US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five，with no pay cuts.It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for.Ford wasn't responding to worker demands；he was being a businessman.He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making.It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits，and it succeeded.
Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century，everything has changed but the hours.If anything，many people are working even longer hours，especially in North America.This has a severe influence on human health and well-being，as well as the environment.Until the Second World War，it was common for one person in a family，usually the oldest male，to work full-time.Now，women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce.Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary，with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century，we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers，using up ever more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy，use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption.It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK think tank，New Economics Foundation，argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems： "overwork，unemployment，over-consumption，high carbon emissions，low well-being，and the lack of time to live sustainably，to care for each other，and simply to enjoy life".
Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite （有限的） planet don't make sense.It's time for a change in our economic thinking.
（1）Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek？
A．To make more profits.
B．To cut workers' pay.
C．To respond to worker demands.
D．To meet labor unions' requirements.
（2）What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ？
A．The number of laborers decreased.
B．More women worked full-time.
C．Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.
D．It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work.
（3）What can we infer from the third paragraph？
A．Longer working hours means better consumption ability.
B．The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.
C．Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek.
D．The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed.
（4）New Economics Foundation thinks a 21-hour workweek will.
A．increase unemployment
B．encourage people to enjoy life
C．cause various problems
D．challenge the economic growth組卷：26引用：2難度：0.5 -
15．Americans are more stressed than ever，according to an American Psychological Association survey，and nearly one-third of the people say stress impacts their physical or mental health．If you have any of these symptoms，your stress might be making you sick．Here's how to battle against them．
（1）If you're stressed，you might have one of the following symptoms EXCEPT that
If you've never suffered from headaches but suddenly your head is constantly striking，you might be too stressed．Stress releases chemicals that can cause changes to nerves and blood vessels（血管）in the brain，which brings on a headache．Stress can cause them or make them worse．It's also common for your muscles to tense up when you're stressed，which can also cause a headache．
WHAT TO DO：
If you don't want to take medicine，try spreading lavender（薰衣草）oil on your temples（太陽穴）when a headache starts．
Stress can make you mentally sick，too．Too much of the stress hormone cortisol（皮質醇）can make it harder to concentrate，causing memory problems as well as anxiety or depression says Dr．Levine．
WHAT TO DO：
Relax until you regain your concentration．Practice closing your eyes and breathing in and out slowly，concentrating only on your breath．
Losing a few strands of hair is normal-old hair follicles（囊）are replaced by new ones over time-but stress can disturb that cycle．
Significant stress pushes a large number of hair follicles into what's called a resting stage and then a few months later those hairs fall out，according to MayoClinic．org．Stress can also cause the body's resistant system to attack your hair follicles，resulting in hair loss．
WHAT TO DO：
Be patient．Once your stress level returns to normal，your hair should start growing back．．
A．you keep getting headaches
B．you always have a cold
G．your hair is falling out
D．your brain feels confused
（2）Which of the following is suggested if your brain goes out of focus？
A．Breathing slowly with your eyes closed．
B．Waiting until your brain returns to normal．
C．Spreading lavender oil on your temples．
D．Relaxing and attacking your brain softly．
（3）What will happen once we get over our stress according to the passage？

C．Our hair starts growing again．
D．A serious headache starts．組卷：6難度：0.7

17． I remember the first time I met Roy.He was standing in the center of a group of boys，and he was telling a joke.He was really a popular boy.My name is Daniel.I was the new boy in the class.My father had been offered a job in London，so our whole family moved here.I was twelve and，having lost all my old friends，I felt uneasy and lonely at my new school.
There were 33 students in my new class，and most people weren't very interested in a shy new boy.Roy was one of the few people who was kind to me.Roy and I became good friends.We relied on each other and we could talk about personal matters，things that were important to us.
Five years later，Roy and I are still in the same class.But just under a year ago，Roy's father was knocked down by a car.He died a few days later.The family had to move to a much smaller house because they couldn't afford the big house any more.Roy，who had always been very close to his father，changed completely，becoming silent and moody.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity （慈善機構）.It was very successful and by the end of the day，we had made about ￡500.Our class teacher，Mr White，came and chatted to a group of us that included Roy，and held up a box for us to see."There's ￡500 in here，" he said with a smile.But to our surprise，the next morning，we were told that the money had been stolen.Mr White had left the box in the classroom for a few minutes，and when he came back it had disappeared.The head teacher asked anyone who thought they might know something about it to come to him.
This weekend，I went to Roy's home.Roy was out，and I went upstairs to his bedroom to wait for him.It was a cold day and his jacket was lying on the back of a chair.I put it on and put my hands in the pockets.I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out.
It looked as if there was about ￡500 there.I was so surprised that I just stood there，holding the notes in my hands.
At that moment，the door opened，and Roy walked in.
