（2022秋·辽宁·高一校联考期中）Ways to help kids explore nature
Summer is the best time for kids to spend time in nature. Here are some ways to help kids explore nature in the summer holidays.
11 You don’t have to teach kids to love nature because they already do. Young children naturally love the outdoors and are fascinated by dirt, rocks, trees and so on. Therefore, the parent’s role is more about removing distractions like phones and tablets to enable that exploration to take place.
Allow for full engagement with nature. 12 Bug bites will eventually disappear. Cuts and broken bones heal in time. Let your kid throw themselves into the natural world freely and resist (忍住) the parental urge to shout, “Be careful! Put that down! Ew, that’s dirty!”
Set a goal for the summer. Make it your family’s mission to spend as much time outside as possible in summer. Sit down with your kids and brainstorm ways of doing so. Create a list of places in your area that you can visit and check them off the lit. 13
Prepare an outdoor exploration kit (工具包). Make your nature adventure easy and safe by putting together an exploration kit in advance. Keep it in a box or a bag in your car or on your bike. 14 They can include hats, sunscreen, snacks, rain jackets and a water bottle.
Have a positive attitude. 15 Instead, consider it a welcome escape for yourself as well. Kids are the best possible excuse to get away from your desk, away from the piles of laundry and dishes, and out of the house for a few hours.
A．Clothes can be washed.
B．Start by going outside.
C．Letting the children get in touch with nature should not feel like a burden in any way.
D．You can also consider starting a nature club using online resources.
E．Let kids take the lead.
F．When kids are involved in planning, they’re more eager to participate.
G．Don’t forget the usual necessities that make outdoor adventures much more pleasant.
（2022秋·辽宁沈阳·高一沈阳二中校考期中）A famous book from the 70s called The Secret Life of Plants says that plants are conscious (有意识的). 16 In one study, plant exposed (裸露) to Mozart were healthier and grew faster than plants exposed to Jimi Hendrix. Some say these studies that claim plants have a taste for music are full of holes. But there is growing research on plant intelligence and plant communication.
Plants don’t have brains so they can’t think in the same way as humans. 17 They can even communicate this information to nearby plants. Researchers in England cut the leaves of cabbages (卷心菜).The threatened cabbages then produced a poisonous gas that protects them from certain insects. 18 Those healthy cabbages nearby seemed to be reacting to a warning from their cabbage neighbors.
19 Of course, plants don’t have ears, but some scientists think they can feel vibrations. Italian scientist Dr Gagliano recorded clicking noises produced by corn seedlings (幼苗). She then placed these seedlings in water and played them similar sounds. Curiously, the corn seedlings grew towards the loudspeakers.
20 Whether or not there is an intention to communicate is still up in the air. Whatever the case, plants are stranger and more wonderful than we can imagine.
A．But plants can sense their surroundings.
B．They even have a preference for music.
C．Some plants can communicate with sound.
D．The study also showed plants will row towards the sound of water.
E．So there is no doubt that plants arc communicating with their neighbors
F．Strangely, the uncut cabbages nearby also began to give off a poisonous gas.
G．The researchers believe plants are communicating with their neighbors through their roots.

（2022秋·重庆·高一重庆巴蜀中学校考期中）Recess for Kids
Ask a group of kids about their favorite part of the school day and many will talk about something that happened at recess. Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars (单杠). Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground. 41
It’s true not just according to kids, but also to adults who study recess for kids. Whether they’re inventing a new game or sitting under a tree, kids need a break — or several of them — during the school day.
Why Kids Need Recess.
There's no debate that recess, or mainly referred to as physical activity, is good for kids.
You can’t have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory. 42 Besides, activity that involves arms and legs — running, climbing, crawling — builds new neural connections, which helps kids regulate their emotions. Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class, perform better and have fewer emotional problems.
How Much Recess Should Kids Get.
“Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates for outdoor play in schools. 43 It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.
44
In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination. 45 . And even falling, is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.
A．How to Make Recess Better.
B．Who should help kids recess.
C．You need time away to process it.
D．This recommendation has been widely accepted.
E．Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.
F．Maybe running up the slide is not as unsafe as it looks.
G．We wouldn’t have kids sitting there for math or reading for long hours.
（2022秋·重庆·高一西南大学附中校考期中）Your mind is very powerful. Yet, if you’re like most people, you probably spend very little time reflecting on the way you think. After all, who thinks about thinking 46
If you draw wrong conclusions about who you are and what you’re capable of doing, you’ll limit your potential.
Your thoughts are a catalyst (催化剂)for self-perpetuating (自我持续的)cycles. 47 . So if you think you’re a failure, you’ll feel like a failure. Then, you’ll act like a failure, which strengthens your belief that you must be a failure.
I see this happen all the time in my office. Someone will come in saying, “I’m just not good enough to advance in my career. ” That opinion leads her to feel discouraged and causes her to put in less effort. 48
Once you draw a conclusion about yourself, you’re likely to do two things: look for evidence that strengthens your belief and consider anything that runs against your belief unimportant. Someone who develops the belief that he’s a failure, for example, will view each mistake as evidence that he’s not good enough. 49 Consider for a minute that it might not be your lack of talent or lack of skills that are holding you back. Instead, it might be your beliefs that keep you from performing at your peak.
50 That’s not to say positive thoughts have magical powers. But optimistic thoughts lead to productive act, which increases your chances of a successful outcome.
A．When he does succeed, he’ll owe it to luck.
B．That lack of effort prevents her from having a better career.
C．Creating a more positive thought can lead to better outcomes.
D．If we make an effort on purpose, you can learn to think more positively.
E．However, the way you think about yourself turns into your reality.
F．Once that belief gets deeply rooted in his mind, he will suffer a lot.
G．What you think directly influences how you feel and how you behave.
（2022秋·重庆·高一重庆南开中学校考期中）How to Say Anything
Could you use some advice Or has something big happened Our tips can help you say anything to your parents.
Pick the right time. You need your parents’ full attention in order to have a good talk. Try not to bring up something when it’s past your bedtime or when your parent is in a rush. 51 Your parents want to know what’s on your mind, so ask them to make time for you.
Go slowly. What you need to say probably isn’t simple, so don’t try to get it all out in one breath. Give your parents the details they need to make a decision before you start trying to bargain with them. Besides, another thing is also of great importance. 52 Listen to them, and they’ll listen to you.
Be honest. Your parents will respond better if you believe that you’re telling the truth and not trying to avoid blame. Take responsibility for your part in getting into trouble or earning a bad grade. 53 Things get worse the longer you wait.
Try, try again. When you fly off the handle, your parents have a hard time seeing your point of view. If you’re angry or frustrated, take a break from the conversation. Excuse yourself, and go somewhere to cool off. 54
Be brave. 55 But your parents almost always can help you solve a problem or answer a big question, and you’ll almost always feel better afterward. Talk to your parents. You’ll be glad you did.
A．If you’ve done something wrong, admit it.
B．After all, details determine success or failure.
C．Remember that conversation is about give and take.
D．If your parents are occupied, make an “appointment”.
E．Your conversation will be reduced to a terrible quarrel.
F．Gather your thoughts and try talking to your parents again.
G．You might have a question for long before you get up the courage to let it out.
