10 Things I Can See from Here by Carrie Mac
Maeve experiences severe anxiety，so much of her headspace is devoted to imagining worst-case scenes.Her troubles are worsened when she's sent to live with her dad （an alcoholic），pregnant stepmom，and twin stepbrothers in Vancouver - - a situation with a whole new set of stressors.Maeve has a lot on her plate，but she's also determined to show up for the people in her life.
Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder
Tyler Feder was in college when she lost her mother to cancer.In this bittersweet memoir，Feder celebrates her mother's life and also recounts the long and ongoing journey of grief-from the first physician appointments to sitting the funeral-and trying to create some resemblance among peers who just didn't get it.Sincere and often humorous，Feder's perspective is related to teens who've experienced grief and valuable for anyone navigating a difficult experience.
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

2．I recently gave a talk about zero waste living to university students.During the Q&A afterward，the unavoidable question of cost came up.One student pointed out that he "can't afford to buy ﹩30 toothpaste." While the ﹩30 price may be a bit generous，the student did raise a good point - that buying zero-waste products is often more expensive than the overly-packaged conventional ones.
I tried to handle the question as best I could in the moment，but I kept thinking about it afterward.I'm writing about it because I'm sure many others have similar doubts about their own abilities to reduce waste without breaking the bank.
First，once you begin to explore the zero waste world，you quickly realize how pointless many products in your life are.You start using fewer，buying less，and using them interchangeably.Soon you'll find yourself spending less money overall，which balances the higher cost of the zero waste ones.The total number of products in my bathroom decreased by 50% when I became more focused on waste reduction.
Second，if you stop to examine those zero-waste products，you'll see that they are usually of superior quality.Companies rarely redesign their packaging to be reusable without also upgrading them to be healthier，safer，and greener.So you're paying extra money not just for non-disposable（非一次性的） packaging，but also for a better product that does less harm.
In my experience，higher-quality skincare products last longer than cheap ones.My personal habits have developed gradually，too.Knowing an item costs more leads me to use it in small quantities and use it to the very end.Moreover，I sometimes even make my own.The price-per-unit is cheap.
To quote Lindsey Miles，a zero waste blogger， "Zero waste is not about what we can afford to buy.It is about what we choose not to buy." To that student who got me thinking about this，I'd recommend starting with what matters to you.Over time you will figure out where you get the most value for your money.In return，you'll gain a sense of liberation from the consumer culture，and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
（1）What can we benefit from zero waste products？
A．Saving regularly.
B．Balancing totally.
C．Living conveniently.
D．Spending economically.
（2）What kind of products would the author like to recommend？
A．Zero-cost.
B．Top-grade.
C．Non-breakable.
D．Well-packed.
（3）What do Miles' words in the last paragraph mean？
A．Buy what is necessary.
B．Choose what is affordable.
C．Consider where we save money.
D．Learn what consumer culture means.
（4）What is the author's purpose？
A．To oppose wasting.
B．To analyze a social issue.
C．To promote a new product.
D．To advocate eco-consumption.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5 -
3．Reading is a great way to improve your English.By reading，you are receiving valuable language input.As you are reading，you are taking in language gradually，and you are seeing how it all fits together.This is crucial to your learning.
The key effective reading is to read things that you want to read.There are millions of books，magazines and websites out there.You couldn't possibly read them all.So the important thing is to find things that you like reading.Then，you will be motivated to read.And then the reading won't be difficult.It'll be easy!And then you'll learn.It's simple.
Remember：read what you want to read-what you like reading and what motivates and encourages you.But where can you start？Well，you could read a book that you have already read in your own language.You could also read the news.This is great as you can read the news in your own language first，then in English.Magazines are also great.Find one that covers a topic you are interested in：business，clothing，guns，horses，sports，cooking…you name it，they will have it.Why not join a forum（论坛）？Go to Google Groups，which has discussion groups based on common interests.Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.
Finally，how you read is also important.The best thing is to read without using a dictionary.Let the words flow over you.Just skip the parts you don't understand.If you make your reading feel too much like work，it will stop being fun.Of course，you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently，but try not to break your focus too much.Also，set your goals.For example，if you are reading a novel，read 20 pages a day.Very soon，you will get to know thousands of useful phrases and words.Have fun reading!You will learn so much!
（1）The key to effective reading is.
A．to read millions of books
B．not to learn grammar rules
C．to be motivated to read
D．to read easy things
（2）You can start to read by.
A．reading a book that you have already read in English

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our washing machine needed to be fixed and we had called for a service person to mend it.The machine drum was making a lot of noise and the clothes were not being washed properly.The service man could only speak Spanish and it was a tough time for me to communicate with him.He was patient enough to let me know what was wrong with the machine and he conveyed the parts that were to be fixed.When the machine finally started working properly，I breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the service charge.The bill amount came to be around ＄41.3.
I quickly gave him a ＄50 note and requested the balance amount.When he searched his pocket and said that he had none，I went inside and started hunting for the exact change.All the time，at the back of my head I was scared that he might get his hands on something from the house.You see，there were expensive gadgets and jewels on the earrings stand hanging out there in the living room where he was waiting.And last time when I was getting my air conditioner fixed，I found my ring was lost.And the ring was from my grandma.The only guy that might take it was the service man，for we hadn't had any visitors.I even called him later but he said he did not see anything like a ring.I could feel from his voice that he was hiding something but I had no evidence of his stealing my ring.
My jewels were only a few steps from him and he could easily grab one without being noticed.I even kind of heard his steps in the hall.
In a hurry，I somehow fished out a ＄20 note，two separate ＄10 notes and the remaining tens.I rushed to the living room and immediately handed him the service charge.I wanted him to thank and leave but he stood there still.

1.续写词数应为150左右；
