When Joe’s children grew up and moved to different cities, he lived in a small village. He had 4 grandchildren and they often visited him during their holidays.

It was the vacation time and Joe was waiting for them to arrive. He was preparing their favorite food and cleaning the house. However, he lost his watch when he was busy. His dead wife gave it to him when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death.

The next day, he was very sad, “Dear children, I lost the most important watch I have ever had. Your grandma gave it to me. I feel like my heart is broken.”

The children looked for it everywhere in the house for more than 2 hours, but they didn’t find it. So Joe asked the children to stop looking for it.

One of his grandsons sat there quietly. The other children reached him and asked him what was going on. He asked them not to make any noise. He sat there for about 15 minutes and then found the watch. He ran to his grandfather with the watch. Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied, “I sat there without making a noise. After a few minutes, I heard the sound of the watch.” Joe hugged and thanked the little boy.

Do you have any experiences like these? When the teacher asks if anyone can speak in front of the class, you lower your head. When you go to the restroom or dining hall, you always try to find someone to go with you because you are afraid of being seen alone.

Well, many people have these kinds of experiences. They are feeling social anxiety(社交焦虑), or worrying about things like talking, going to a party or being the center of attention.

A recent study from China Youth Daily showed that about 45 percent of the 1,544 interviewers(受访者) said they experienced social anxiety.

Stefan Hofmann, an expert from Boston University, said that social anxiety is “a result of the fear that we will not be welcome”. For Chinese kids, there’s another reason for their anxiety. Shu Man from East China Jiaotong University said, “Most of them are the only child in their families, so they don’t have many chances to practice their social skills.”

“However, you don’t have to worry too much about social anxiety. You only need to ask the doctor for help if you can’t live a normal life,” said Li Songwei from Tsinghua University. Shu Man advised that you should go to public places more often, and try thinking about something happy when you are really nervous.

66. How many people experienced social anxiety in the recent study?

A. About 45. B. About 695. C. About 1,544. D. About 1,589.

67. If a Chinese kid has social anxiety, it may be because he/she ________.

A. is too shy to speak B. is afraid to talk to others

C. has no brothers or sisters D. has no close friends

68. If you have social anxiety, you can ________.

A. go to public places B. keep quiet by yourself

C. stay at home alone D. watch some sad movies

69. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?

A. If we face social anxiety, we can ask doctors for help.

B. We don’t have to worry too much about social anxiety.

C. Chinese children have more chances to practice their social skills.

D. Social anxiety may be a result of the fear that we will not be welcome.

70. You may read this passage in a________.

A. poster B. letter C. notice D. magazine

Garbage sorting(垃圾分类) began on July 1, 2019. However, I, with the other 238 families who live in my building, have been living with a similar system for years. Here, I’d like to talk about our experiences.

In October 2016, the government chose our neighborhood to be part of a pilot(试点的) program for garbage sorting. To help the program run successfully, we set up a volunteer team. I am one of the volunteers. Several of us, however, questioned whether we could lead people in the building to change their habits.

We began with the usual ways. We handed out notices around the neighborhood. We also went door to door to tell people how to sort garbage. However, they made many mistakes. For example, many didn’t know wet rubbish meant food waste. Instead, they thought it meant rubbish that was wet. Some even refused to sort their garbage.

As a result, we volunteers had to do lots of sorting ourselves. At the same time we went around explaining the rules. We kept talking to those who refused to sort their garbage. We let them know we had sorted their garbage for them. It was a matter of time and patience(耐心). We believed they would finally change their mind.

Six months later we were successful in changing people’s mind. People in my building began sorting their garbage. Some even joined us to help us.

I think face-to-face talks played an important role. Sometimes, these talks led to conflicts(冲突), but they were much more effective(有效的)than handing out notices. It was interesting to see what happened. I hope everyone knows garbage sorting is good for them.

71. The writer’s neighborhood started its garbage-sorting program ________.

A. in April, 2017 B. on July 1, 2019 C. on October 8, 2018 D. in October, 2016

72. What did the volunteers do to develop people’s garbage-sorting habits?

A. They put an ad on TV. B. They had face-to-face talks with people.

C. They had some performances. D. They invited the people to a party.

73. How long did it take the people in the writer’s building to change their garbage-sorting habits?

A. For about 183 days. B. For about 6 weeks. C. For about 7 months. D. For 3 years.

74. When speaking of the garbage-sorting plan, the writer hopes ________.

A. everyone can develop a garbage-sorting habit

B. people know wet garbage means food waste

C. more volunteers will join the writer’s volunteer team

D. talking to people plays an important role in the garbage-sorting plan

75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. People in the writer’s neighborhood develop the garbage-sorting habits easily.

B. The volunteers made many mistakes when telling people how to sort garbage.

C. The writer thinks giving out notices is less effective than talking with people.

Once upon a time, there was a bird named Pat. He was a lovely bird and he was very kind. 86 So Pat also wanted to sing beautiful songs. He tried to be the best at singing, but his voice sounded strange. Pat was very sad and he flew to his mother.

“Mom,” he said, “why can’t I sing like the other birds? 87 ”

“Son,” said Pat’s mother, “everyone’s song is different. Some are sweet and some are sad, some loud, and some soft. But they are all beautiful in their own way. 88 ” Pat listened to his mother and didn’t worry about his voice any more.

One day, when Pat was practicing his singing, he heard a little girl crying. 89 Pat wanted to make the girl feel better. So he began singing. The little girl stopped crying to listen to Pat. Not far away, the little girl’s parents heard Pat, too. They soon found their daughter.

90 They told Pat how wonderful his song was and how nice he was to help the little girl.

“Mom was right,” said Pat. “A song from the heart is surely the best!”
