The greatest gift

Kerrie and I had always been close friends through elementary school and middle school. But when high school started, everything seemed to 13 between us. I was more independent and did whatever suited me. However, Kerrie wanted to be liked. She was willing to do anything to become 14 , which was the only thing she wanted.

At the end of our first year, she finally got invited to the biggest party of the year. As her best friend, I helped her get ready for the party. After I watched her leave, I headed into the house with a big sigh (叹气) and 15 that everything could go back the way it used to be between us.

At about 2:00 a.m., my phone rang. It was Kerrie’s mother. I could hear the 16 in her voice. “Kerrie’s been in an accident,” she said. My mind began racing in fear.

“She was hit by a tr uck,” her mother continued to say. “ 17 , it wasn’t too bad. She has got a fracture (骨折). The doctor said she’d be OK in a mont h.”

In the following weeks, I visited Kerrie every day. However, no one at the party ever came to see her, even the girls that she had tried to get a taxi for.

Tough Man: a race to the limit

Every January, more than 3,000 people take part in one of the most difficult races on Earth: the Tough Man competition in the UK. Competitors run, swim and climb around the 15-km course. But this is no normal race. These competitors have to crawl (爬) through tunnels (隧道), run across a field of nettles (荨麻) and jump over fire. What’s more, the competition takes places in January, so the temperatures are low – sometimes as low as -6℃. People travel from all over the world to take part, with competitors from South Africa, Australia and China.

The following shows what the Tough Man course is like. First, competitors run for 1 km along a muddy road. Next, they crawl under low nets on the ground. After the nets, the runners jump into a lake and swim for 1 km. Then, they reach the field of fire. Here, the runners run across a field and jump over small bonfires. Next, competitors must crawl through a long tunnel. The tunnel is partly under water. Finally, the runners run 2 km through nettles before they reach the finish line.

The competition is quite dangerous and every year there are accidents. Injuries like broken bones and cuts are quite common. The race is very hard: one-third of the competitors don’t finish it. Runners have to be very fit and healthy and most people train all year to prepare for the event. It is also the only race like it in the world. There are similar events, but this was the

first one in the world. Many people do the competition because it is so famous. Every year the organizers change the event and add new things. This means that the competition stays exciting and challenging, so people go back year after year.

24. Where does the Tough Man competition take place?

A. In the UK.

B. In China.

C. In Australia.

D. In South Africa.

25. What do competitors do after crawling under nets?

A. Run across a field with fire.

B. Jump into water and swim.

C. Crawl through a tunnel.

D. Run through nettles.

26. Why do people go back to the competition every year?

A. It changes and stays exciting every year.

B. It is the first competition in the world.

C. It helps people to stay fit and healthy.

D. There are no similar events like it.

FOMO

Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good nigh t’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities at school unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the best number of sleeping hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that –and in some cases it will be influencing your schoolwork.

I read an interesting article in a teacher s’magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number of them are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have something to eat but because of FOMO – fear of missing out, which brings worrying influence on their sleep and schoolwork.

According to the article, schoolchildren are having problems because more and more of them wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or an opportunity to take part in a conversation, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep.

Experts are worried and the report shows some facts from the study that I’d like to share with you:

●23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media.

●One in three students are always tired.

●Students who use social media during the night are more likely to be anxious (焦虑).

Are you experiencing FOMO? If yes, I’d like to ask you to be responsible for your sleep when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your devices (设备) at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important just because of a good nigh t’s sleep.

27. We can learn from the passage that FOMO is .

A. an unreasonable need to go out all the time

B. a result of using social media in a wise way

C. a fear of missing communication on social media

D. a study on the ways of teenagers using social media

28. What did the study in Wales show?

A. Teenagers are tired because they often stay up late.

B. More and more teenagers are tired of schoolwork.

C. Half of the teenagers wake up nearly every night.

D.

Using social media at night may cause anxiety.

29. What is the write r’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To explain the relationship between FOMO and sleep.

B. To encourage teenagers to deal with FOMO properly.

C. To describe why teenagers don’t get enough sleep.

D. To show why FOMO happens a lot to teenagers.
