6．Since being introduced to chess at age six，Tanitoluwa "Tani" Adewumi has had one goal.He wants to become the world's youngest-ever Grandmaster — the highest title a chess player can achieve.The record was then held by a Ukrainian chess player，who qualified for the title in 2002 at the age of 12 years and seven months.
On May 1，2021，the now 10-year-old Tani came one step closer to achieving his dream by becoming America's newest national chess master.The chess genius，who practices for up to 11 hours every day after school，says the secret to his success is thinking of his plays ahead of time.Tani said， "On a normal position，I can do up to 20 moves ahead of schedule."
The now fifth-grader fell in love with chess in 2017 after being exposed to the basics by a part-time teacher at his elementary school in New York.However，his mother，Oluwatoyin，was reluctant to allow him to join the school's chess club.The family of four，who came from Nigeria，were living in a homeless shelter and did not have extra funds to spare.
When Oluwatoyin explained the family's situation to the chess club's instructor，Russell Makofsky，he immediately decided to teach the young boy for free.Less than a year after joining the club，he had gained seven trophies （奖杯） and was ranked 27 in his age category.In 2019，the then eight-year-old，who was still living in a homeless shelter，made the national headlines when he defeated 73 competitors to win the New York State Chess K-3 Championship.His achievement went viral （传播开来） and a GoFundMe campaign，set up by Makofsky，helped raise enough funds for Tani and his family to move into their own home.
Tani's path was documented in a book.The book is currently being adapted for the big screen.We wonder if Tani will get to play himself in the movie!
（1）What is Tani's secret to success？
A．Practicing step by step.
B．Keeping his goal in mind.
C．Preparing for the competition early.
D．Playing with moves planned in advance.
（2）What does the underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Sad.
B．Unsatisfied.
C．Afraid.
D．Unwilling.
（3）What can be inferred about Tani？
A．He will star in a movie.
B．His story will be made into a movie.
C．He will publish a book about his experiences.
D．His achievements will be recognized internationally.组卷：4引用：1难度：0.5 -
7．As Valentine's Day approaches，many people with dogs will not care one bit whether they get a card.
A survey by the Kennel Club in the UK has found almost one in five would rather have a dog than be in a relationship.Almost half said they were so attached to their pet because their dogs don't let you down in the same way that other people might.Although a dog might not buy you roses or take you out for dinner，it seems unconditional love and a wagging tail can make being single less lonely.The research，which asked 2，612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance，found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.
Perhaps the findings are unsurprising，as celebrities （名人） have long used dogs as their plus ones.Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year，describing her pet as "the best date a girl can have".Bill Lambert，a spokesman for the Kennel Club，said， "There certainly seems to be a growing number of dog lovers who would rather share their lives with a four-legged friend instead of a human partner.This could be due to the numerous benefits that come with dog ownership."
Dogs help their owners relaxed，whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air，or with a hug on a sofa.They can also be great listeners，help their owners reduce stress，and can play a part in improving the health and fitness of their owners.Nonetheless （尽管如此），for those dog owners who are still looking for love，the research suggests their pet might help.Mr.Lambert said， "This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great icebreaker，when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other，and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs."
（1）How does the author show people's love for dogs in Paragraph 2？
A．By listing concrete figures.
B．By giving many examples.
C．By giving scientific reasons.
D．By quoting famous people's words.
（2）What can we know about Glenn Close and Bill Lambert？
A．They both are famous people in Hollywood.
B．They both take their dogs everywhere.
C．They both have more than one dog.
D．They both are pet supporters.
（3）How can a pet help you in your daily life according to the text？
A．It helps save your lost friendship.
B．It makes you become a sports lover.
C．It entirely replaces your best friend.
D．It comforts you when you feel uneasy.
（4）What might be suggested according to the text？
A．Trying to donate more to pet shelters.
B．Loving your pets more than anyone else.
C．Raising a dog to be your reliable company.
D．Stopping developing relationship with others.组卷：2引用：1难度：0.4

9．You know that eating healthily，staying active，and solving a few brain games can help keep your memory.But the following lesser-known habits work wonders too.
1. （1）
When we sit with our shoulders bent forward，this defeated position actually causes us to feel anxious or depressed--- which makes it harder to think clearly and remember things.Conversely（反过来），straight upright posture apparently improves memory because it boosts blood oxygen flow to the brain.
2.Exercise---Once
Having trouble remembering faces？（2）In a study，pictures of faces were shown to older folks after they ride a stationary（静止的） bike at a fast pace or simply sit on a self-riding bike.On average，people remembered the faces better after the intense exercise.What's more，the memory gains after a single workout were similar to the gains after 3 months of regular exercise.
3.Limit TV
Every parent and grandparent has heard that too much screen time can hurt a child's cognitive development.（3）According to a study，people（aged 50 or older）who watched more than 3.5 hours of TV a day for 6 years experienced a greater drop in verbal memory test scores than those who watched less.
4.Draw aimlessly
A research shows those who drew the words remembered the most when recalling words.That's because while some parts of the brain about getting memory back become worse as people grow older，the picture processing regions usually don't. （4）
5.Walk Backward
（5）Walk back!Backward motion---whether real，imagined，or watched---helps people remember the information better than sitting still and，in most cases，better than forward motion.It may be that moving backward in space mentally helps us move back in time to the moment we learned something.
A.Sit Tall.
B.Stand Straight.
C.Start more workouts.
D.Sweat for physical training.
E.Thus painting can help adults keep their memory sharp.
F.But what about those elderly people？
G.Next time you're trying to recall something，don't just think back.组卷：11引用：2难度：0.5
