Each school day, yellow school buses take millions of American kids to and from school. According to the law, school buses must be painted “school bus 16 ”. You may not find it in a box of crayons. The color is neither pure yellow nor pure orange. Instead, it is a mix of the two, similar 17 to the flesh of a mango.
Before such a law was passed, school buses had been painted pure yellow, close to the color of a lemon. In 1939, Dr. Frank W. Cyr had a meeting to set 18 for US school buses. This included a standard color for all school buses in the whole country. Since then, Dr. Cyr has been known 19 the “father of the Yellow

In fact, research shows that yellow gets our attention 21 than any other color. Even if we are looking straight ahead, we can also see a yellow object that is going past 22 . Besides that, unlike red, yellow is also more easily noticed in a 23 environment. School buses usually 24 children to school in early morning. The black lettering on that yellow background is the easiest color combination to be 25 in darkness. This is another main reason why school bus yellow was chosen.

When Johnson called again, the manager received him very politely. “That is a most wonderful oil you brought us, Mr Johnson,” he said.
Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew very well.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” the manager admitted(承认).
Johnson nodded again. “No?” he said politely. Then he added, “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it.” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now,” he smiled.
The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that.”
“So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson.

“So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson.
“Have you got any plans to produce it yourself, Mr Johnson?”
“Would I be showing it to you if I had?” Johnson smiled again.
“We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils,” said the manager.
“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could,” Johnson said gently. “Moreover,” he added, “I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils. Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.”
“Perhaps,” said the manager. “Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement, Mr Johnson. Shall we discuss it?”
“Of course,” said Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay(推迟) it as long as possible. That is, of course, the best way.”
The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that.
“But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.”
The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring (asking) “Oh?”
“The other way,” continued Johnson, “is to produce yourself before the trouble starts.”

Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions(蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people came from Europe. They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.
Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.
Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green. When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen(花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal(花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away. Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over. New dandelions grow where the seeds land.
29．The underlined word “weeds” means ________.
A．pretty flowers B．fresh vegetable C．green trees D．wild plants
30．When is the best time to pick dandelion leaves to eat?
A．After their flowers come out. B．After their flowers turn white
C．Before their flowers come out. D．Before their flowers close up.
31．What is the best title for this passage?
A．The History of Dandelions B．Dandelions: Flowers or Food
C．The Use of Dandelions D．How to Grow Dandelions

“Sorry, but I don’t agree with you... ” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I’ve always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don’t want to lose a friend. I’ve found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego(自尊心) is hurt.
Before the person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response(反应) would be, “If you aren’t able to see my point of view, then what you think isn’t worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I’ve come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don’t agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I’m against the truth. That’s when I need to listen to what she says.
I’ve learned that for me one way to help my friends is to be open and honest with the others to voice my thoughts and listen to the others carefully. While we can’t control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the others. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective(客观的) in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback(反馈的意见) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don’t like being disagreed with, I’m starting to see the value of such disagreements.
32．Why does the author seldom disagree with her friends?
A．Because she doesn’t want to explain things calmly.
B．Because she doesn’t want to argue with her friends.
C．Because she doesn’t want to break up with her friends.
D．Because she doesn’t want to make her friends happy.
33．What do you think the author used to be?
A．She always did things in the wrong way in the past.
B．She thought she was always highly respected by her friends.
C．She didn’t like to be disagreed with because she thought her ego was hurt.
D．She thought her friends were only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.
34．How should we treat our friends from the author’s opinion in Paragraph 3?
A．We should listen to the others carelessly.
B．We should be open and honest with the others.
C．We should disagree with our friends in anger.
D．We should feel we are better than the others.
35．In what kind of way can we build up good friendships?
A．Through dishonest ideas. B．Through angry words.
C．Through unbearable opinions. D．Through disagreements.

Do you get nervous thinking about coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15, 2022.
Math anxiety-a negative emotional reaction to the core subject causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when faced with a math problem, ranging from mild stress to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical changes such as having sweaty (出汗的) hands or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation including number, meaning they are held back from working in the fields related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Reassurance (慰藉) comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t born to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t think that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. It’s about making sure you understand your feelings correctly. Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate.
36．What do we know about math anxiety?
A．People with math anxiety are often bad at math.
B．Having math anxiety will make you fail the math test.
C．It may cause physical changes.
D．Math anxiety is common among teenagers.
37．Which picture shows the physical change of math anxiety?
A．
B．
C．
D．
38．According to the passage, which is the best way to deal with Peter’s math anxiety?
A．Practice hard before a speech competition.
B．Take challenges to overcome stage fright.
C．Ask teachers for help.
D．Get to understand his feelings before exam begins.
39．Which may not be the future job for a man who is experiencing serious math anxiety?
A．An engineer. B．An artist. C．A Chinese teacher. D．A lawyer.
40．Who will be inspired by the passage?
A．A girl who is good at dancing. B．A pupil who is weak in Chinese.
C．A student who gets lower math grades. D．A scientist who likes word puzzles.

In classroom your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages (阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write them down in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point...” and “Remember that...” Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations (缩写) such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate (准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.
