A

For over a month, Michelle Ding and her team members have been rehearsing (排练) every day for their upcoming performance - a schedule that is not abnormal (异常的). But it’s different —they rehearse via an online platform.

When Ding, 16, from Shanghai High School International Division, heard that her school was going to close due to the outbreak of COVID-19 her mind went to all the dance and song practices that would not be able to take place.

“It was already dif ficult enough to finish all the scenes with offline rehearsals —how were we supposed to do it online? How do we practice dancing through Zoom [an online platform]?” she asked herself.

However, nothing is impossible to a willing mind. Starting from early March, she and her fellow performers held online rehearsals for their production of Aladdin through Zoom.

Due to online lag (延时) they chose not to play the background music for the songs. Instead, everyone sang without the soundtrack (配乐) and practiced individually at home.

Meanwhile, Ding, as the president of their Live 2 Drama (L2D) club, recorded every rehearsal and sent the video to the group chat so everyone could review it.

Aladdin is not the first production Ding has attended. She joined L2D in the eighth grade as a member of the cast (演员) in Grease (《油脂》). Now as the president of L2D, Ding is in charge of coordinating (协调) plans for set design, tech, reception and costumes, as well as the rehearsal schedules and scripts (脚本) for the cast.

Even though having three years' experience in L2D, Ding felt nervous at first about

the special online rehearsals “because I did not know how people would respond to this new way of practicing,” said Ding.

To make sure it went smoothly, Ding sent a survey in the group chat to get every cast member's availability (可用时间) each week and organized the rehearsal schedule based on the survey.

Ding and the cast have run through all the lines and songs and they expect to have live, offline rehearsals when school resumes.

Ding feels that the success of these online re hearsals “is truly due to the tea m effort”. “Everyone works together with the same passion and devotion to drama. It is such unity and dedication (奉献) that makes me believe that we will get through this period and emerge (变得) stronger than ever,” she said.

26. What was Ding most worried about when she herd the news of her school closure?

A. The virus.

B. Her studies.

C. Her classmates.

D. Her group's drama rehearsals.

27. How did Ding and her fellow performers practice for their performance?

A. By practicing it online.

B. By practicing with the play' S soundtrack.

C. By meeting face to face

D. By learn ing from Ding’s performance in Grease.

28. What did Ding do in L2D except _________?

A. coordinated plans for set design and costumes and so on

B. recorded every rehearsal

C. wrote the schedules and scripts for the cast

D. sent the recorded video to the group chat

29 How did Ding feel at first about their special way of practicing?

A. Pleased.

B. Scared.

C. Confident.

D. Uncertain.

30. What did Ding learn from this experience, according to the article?

A. It is important to master computer skills

B. Teamwork makes things go well.

C. We should keep challenging ourselves.

D. We should learn to manage our time in isolation.

B

Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for. But then, as you're standing there, a nearly silent balloon floats over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tell it, and then it simply says “follow me” like a child's game, and begins to float off in the direction of your destination. It keeps going, as you follow, leading you to where you want to go.

The guide works itself, without any help from any human being. It says hello to people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then guides them to the destination.

The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift. Onboard is a wireless receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors that let it know where objects are around it.

The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years, and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future —because it is so much easier to follow!

31. The balloon is used to __________.

A. lead the way

B. bring people joy

C. catch the thief

D. welcome the visitors

32. The underlined word "processes" can best be replaced by __________.

A. asks for

B. refuses

C. repeats

D. deals with

33. The balloon gets to know its position with the help of __________.

A. sensors

B. two tiny fans

C. a wireless receiver

D. human beings

34. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. the idea of the balloon is new

B. the balloon is difficult to make

C. the balloon will replace the iPhone soon

D. the technology may become popular in the future

35. The text is most probably from a __________.

A. science news report

B. newspaper ad

C. book review

D. biography

C

Have you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit or being picked for a team? Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again. Everyone struggles to stay motivated and reach their goals. Here are some effective tips.

Check in with your goal.

It helps if you write down your small goals in the same way you write down your big goal. That way you can follow what you need to do, check off tasks as you finish them, and enjoy knowing that you' re moving toward your big goal. If you're feeling weak on willpower, you can look at your list to help you change!

Go on with your goal if you slip up (出差错).

If you slip up, don't give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on road. Pat yourself on the back for everything you did right. Don't beat yourself up, no matter how far of track you get. Most people slip up when trying to make a change —it's an unavoidable part of the process.

Share with a friend.

Another way is having supportive people around you. Having a goal partner can make all the difference in times when you don't feel motivated. If you're not getting support from someone when you really need it, you may need to take a break from that friendship and make fiends with people who want to help you succeed.

Don't give up!

Ending an unhealthy behavior or creating a new, exciting one is all about taking responsibility for our lives. Finding the motivation to do it isn't easy, but it is always possible. You can stay motivated by writing down your small goals, sticking to your plan, and reminding yourself of what led you to set your goal in the first place. Change is exciting —we'd all be very bored without it.

Good luck in reaching your goals!
