2．Today，after 10 days of medical treatment，for the first time，I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program．She had been unwell recently and lived alone．Her sons live in foreign countries．
After I called her and told about my plan to visit her，she started becoming excited and planning food at once．Nowadays，she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged （繃帶） leg．
I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before．I carried little things （snacks，books etc．） for her．She had been waiting for some time when I arrived．We talked about different things from health to her life and mine，from past to future，from food to travel etc．During the discussion，her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me．
During the last few months，she had struggled with health and housework．She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems．She had seen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable．
She wanted to gift me something-she kept thinking of a dress，watch，footwear etc．whatever was new and great in her home．I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness．
She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea，I was quite happy to see the childlike interest．
While I was spending time with my motherly friend，the following thought kept coming back to me-probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city．The time I spent with her seemed so much needed．I felt the deep peace it could bring to me and that brought such a big joy!

3．Are you sleeping restlessly，forgetting little things ，and feeling depressed and lonely？Don' t worry.We've all been there.You' re probably just stressed out
Stress isn't always a bad thing.It can be handy for a burst of extra energy and focus，like when you' re playing a competitive sport，or have to speak in public.
But when it' s continuous，the kind of situation most of us face daily，it actually begins to change your brain.Chronic （長期的） stress，like being overworked or having arguments at home frequently，can affect brain size，its structure，and how it functions，right down to the level of your genes.
As levels of cortisol （皮質(zhì)醇） rise ，electric signals in your hippocampus （海馬體），the part of the brain associated with learning，memories，and stress control，decline.When the hippocampus weakens，so does your ability to control your stress.
That 's not all，though.Cortisol can literally cause your brain to get smaller in size.Too much of it results in the shrinking of the part of your brain that regulates behaviors like concentration，decision-making，judgement，and social interaction.
It also leads to fewer new brain cells being made in the hippocampus.This means chronic stress might make it harder for you to learn and remember things，and also set the stage for more serious mental problems ，like depression and eventually Alzheimer' s disease.
It's not all bad news，though.There are many ways to change what cortisol does to your stressed brain.The most powerful weapons are exercise and getting into deep thoughts，which involves breathing deeply and being aware and focused on your surroundings.Both of these activities decrease your stress and increase the size of the hippocampus，and therefore your memory improves.
So don't feel defeated by the pressures of daily life.Get control of your stress before it takes control of you.
（1）On which occasion can stress be a good thing？
A．When making decisions.
B．When delivering a speech.
C．When being in deep thought.
D．When forgetting little things.
（2）What may influence your genes' level according to the text？
A．Having chronic stress.
B．Playing competitive sports.
C．Working overtime last Friday.
D．Having a fight with your brother.
（3）What does the underlined word"It"refer to in Paragraph 6？
A．Relevant behavior.
B．Too much cortisol.
C．Social interaction.
D．The smaller brain in size.
（4）Which of the following can be a good way to relieve stress？
A．Sleeping a lot.
B．Doing sports regularly.
C．Changing the cortisol.
D．Having social interaction.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

9．A GIFT FOR GRANDPA Summer vacation was coming.Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last.After the happy family got ready，they set out for the grandparents' eagerly.On the way，the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared.Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa.They arrived at the driveway，at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room，shouting excitedly "Grandpa，we are back! "
Seeing his grandsons，Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain.A helpless expression flashed on his face.Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn't stand up on his own forever.But Grandpa declared stubbornly （ 倔強(qiáng)地） ， " I can! " Certainly，he was stuck in his boyish way.Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time.They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation，went out and wandered into the forest.Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other，while young ones rose straight like soldiers.Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom.He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs.The trees，birds，lizards，lots of bugs...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn't get up，which made them worried. "We'd think out a way to cheer him up." Jack said. "Grandpa is a bird lover，and we can catch him a bird." Berlin suggested. "But he hates birds being caged!"Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack's mind. "Why not make a cane（拐杖）out of a young tree!"
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
