【題目】 Name-calling, teasing, pushing and fighting—whether you have experienced it or not, the chances are that these are the things that appear in your mind when you hear the word “bullying”. Yet, many of us know little about the serious, lasting harms bullying could cause.

If you’ve watched 13 Reasons Why, you’ll understand the impacts that bullying can have. The second season of the popular US teenage drama was released on May 18. It tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school student who takes her own life after she’s picked on by fellow students, while others stand by and do nothing to help her.

One of the important messages audiences could get from the show is to treat people with kindness and respect. “It teaches us that every single thing we say and do has an impact on others,” news platform Odyssey noted.

Some may think 13 Reasons Why exaggerates (夸大) the seriousness of school bullying, but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2016, and only 36% of this group reported it.

NBA player Gerald Green opened up about being called “alien hands” during his teenage years due to his big hands. “Being bullied was embarrassing,” he said. “I still remember shying away from crowds and walking around with my hands in my pockets to evade the attention from my peers.” To get away with the teasing, he found his motivation by playing basketball and making a career out of it. But not everyone is so lucky to discover a release.

According to statistics released by the US government, if someone prevents a bully, there’s a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds. So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim. As US actor Brandon Flynn, who stars in 13 Reasons Why, said, “Just because you’re not the one getting bullied, it doesn’t mean it’s not your problem.”

【1】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To add some background information.

B.To encourage eyewitnesses to take action.

C.To introduce a new topic of the discussion.

D.To give people advice about dealing with bullying.

【2】What does the US National Center for Educational Statistics indicate?

A.Bullying isn’t a problem in many schools.

B.School bullying can’t cause too much pain.

C.Only a few people are concerned about bullying.

D.Many people who’re bullied choose not to seek help.

【3】What does the underlined word in Para. 5 mean?

A.Attract.B.Focus.

C.Avoid.D.Keep.

【4】What does the text tell us about 13 Reasons Why?

A.It overstates school bullying.

B.It was first shown on May 18.

C.It is mainly about school bullying.

D.It shows few people can report bullying.

【題目】In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

【1】The author feels sad sometimes because .

A. he has a soft heart B. some people fail to see the kindness in others

C. some people pretend to be kind D. he relies much on others

【2】What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?

A. They waited with patience. B. They speeded up to pass.

C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.

【3】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. A Driving Experience

C. Weakness and Strength D. Weakness and Kindness.

【題目】 The negative (負(fù)面的) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can’t be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (代謝紊亂) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.

“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your routine. It’s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who led the research. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”

Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep — cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic equipment. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.

【1】What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?

A.The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.

B.Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.

C.People’s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.

D.The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.

【2】Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.

A.call on smokers to completely abandon smoking

B.advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke

C.show people have known the harm brought by smoking

D.show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation

【3】What does the underlined word “prioritize” probably mean?

A.Have a low opinion of something.

B.Increase the amount of something.

C.Cut down something that isn’t necessary any more.

D.Treat something as being more important than others.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Weekend Catch-up Sleep Is a Lie

B.Bad Sleep Habits Are Harmful to Health

C.A New Study Has an Unexpected Discovery

D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Catch-up Sleep

【題目】Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regret. Instead, we desire to experience satisfaction with the life we’ve been given. 【1】. To live a life without regret in the future, you should try to stay away from the following four common unhealthy habits.

【2】It is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end. Too often, we live our lives from destination to destination. But life is not lived merely in these destinations. In fact, it is far more often lived in the pathways between them. We should appreciate the joy in the journey rather than always hurry to the next destination.

Be defined by your negative circumstances. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. This is an important truth and an important promise. Our lives should not be defined by the negative circumstances that happened in our past. They may have affected our lives, but they do not write the final chapter. 【3】

Focus entirely on yourself. The size of our universe becomes smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center. 【4】On the contrary, those who see their life as an opportunity to bring joy to others quickly find it themselves.

【5】Every excess (過量) adds burden to our lives. And yet we continue to pursue and accumulate more than we need—more houses, more cars, more clothes, and more dishes. Owning less means less cleaning, less burden, less anxiety, and less stress each day. It provides the space and opportunity to pursue the things in life that bring lasting satisfaction to our lives.

A. Blame everybody else.

B. Carry more than you need.

C. It is we ourselves who hold the pen.

D. Miss the joy of the journey for the destination.

E. Only a fool believes the wide road is necessarily the right road.

F. The fact is that too many people experience regret at the lives they chose to live.

G. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.
