7、cher introduced me to micro-habit in the form of weight lifting. He said, “Imagine weightlifting as stacking up pieces of paper. Every day you lift weights, just pretend like you're adding a piece of paper to a pile. On the first day, you start with one single piece of paper. After a month of we

8、ight lifting, you could have as many as 30 sheets of paper stacked up. After several years of keeping up with weight lifting, you are going to have a serious pile of paper!”The idea has stuck with me ever since, and I have tried to develop a number of micro-habits. These micro-habits have shaped the

9、 way I live and have helped me do things I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.The first habit I started with was reading. I have never been a big reader but decided I wanted to start reading more to learn new things. At first, I began reading one page a night before bed. Just one page, that

10、s it! Anyone can read a single page of a book. No matter what, I would read before bed every single night. What I found was reading the page of the book wasnt what was important, but rather forming the habit. Its nearly impossible to make an excuse not to take a minute for reading a page of a book.

11、Thus, the habit begins to form. Sometimes it is a struggle, but rememberits only one page. Finally, by adding only five minutes at a time, I am able to increase the total amount of reading from five minutes to forty-five minutes per night. The beauty of micro-habits is that theyre so simple, you can

12、t say no to them or make any excuse not to follow through with them. As humans, we often overvalue what we think we can complete, but then we give up the moment reality. Micro-habits are all about preventing you from giving up due to something being too hard. When practicing consistently, you can do

13、 something without even having to think about it. Micro-habits you probably already fixed into your daily life include brushing your teeth, taking a shower, making a morning cup of coffee, etc.Pick something you want to do and improve on. Then find out the micro-habits you can start today to help yo

18、uez, asked us to remove our shoes first. So I put my sneakers carefully in my red backpack and zipped it up before joining the group.After rehearsal, I unzipped my backpack and found my sneakers were gone! I dashed across the stage.“Mrs. Rodriguez!” I shouted. “Someone stole my sneakers! I put them

19、right in my backpack when you told us to take off our shoes, and now theyre gone!”Mrs. Rodriguez raised her voice so everyone could hear. She asked the students to look around for my missing sneakers.Everyone searched for the sneakers, but they werent anywhere. Then, I noticed Sasha James opening up

20、 her backpack and looking inside. There, right on the top, were my sneakers!“Those are my sneakers, Sasha! Why did you steal them?” I said angrily.“I didnt! I promise! I dont know how they got in my backpack,” said Sasha.All of a sudden, my face turned red as I realized what had happened. Sashas bac

25、et of Our Height?Have you ever wanted to be taller? Perhaps we all have wished for this, whether were trying to see over a crowd of people or dreaming of becoming a basketball player. Height is mainly a result of genetics (遗传), though other factors like nutrition and healthcare can also influence ou

26、r height.According to World Data, the average height for Chinese men is 1.71 meters, while for women its 1.59 meters. But what stops us from growing to three meters or even taller? The answer is evolution (进化), according to a study from Harvard University.“Height is not just about height. Its about

27、the biological growth of an organism,” biologist Terence DCapellini from Harvard University told Popular Science. Over millions of years, natural selection has influenced the way our organs (器官) grow and therefore the way our bodies grow too. In general, the genes that are responsible for organ grow

28、th are quite active in infants (婴儿), causing them to grow rapidly. But as children get older, the genes slacken. Eventually, as they enter late adolescence, the genes turn off and teenagers reach their adult height.According to the study, about 70 to 80 percent of our height is mainly determined by

29、the growth genes. The other factors are some environmental factors like proper nutrition and modern healthcare. An example of an environmental factor is when a child doesnt get the nutrition he or she needs, the child is less likely to reach the average height.Many people would like to be taller tha

30、n they are, but is that necessarily good for them?Robert Wadlow from the US was the tallest man in history. He was 2.71 meters tall. But he suffered from several related health problems. For example, he needed leg braces (支架) to help him walk. He died at the age of 22 from an infection that was caus

31、ed by a brace that didnt fit him properly. Being very tall can cause high blood pressure in the legs. It can also put too much stress on the heart, according to The Guardian.It seems that beyond having tall parents, the only way to increase your height is to eat a healthy and balanced diet, accordin

34、d with them, say researchers in a new study in Heliyon. For the first time, the study proves stuffed animal sleepovers are an effective way to get children to read. Stuffed animal sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in picture books. Children take their toys to a library for t

35、he night, where the animals search for books they want to read. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the animals traveling around the library to learn about it and reading together. The next day, the children collect their stuffed animals and the photos of what they did during the ni

36、ght. They're also given the books their animals chose to read.The team organized a stuffed animal sleepover program for 42 preschool children. “We wanted to know if there really was an effect, and if so, how long it lasts,” said lead author Dr. Yoshihiro Okazaki of Okayama University. They found

37、 before the sleepover, the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool. Immediately after the sleepover, the number of children who read to the stuffed animals was significantly (明显地) higher than the number who did not.“Surprisingly, not only did the children sho

38、w interest in the picture books, but they also began to read to their stuffed animals. This means that a new behavior appeared that the children had not shown before; we did not expect anything like this. “When parents read to their children, it isnt an active form of reading for the child. But when

39、 children read to their stuffed animals, it is a more spontaneous (自发的), self-directed form of reading, helping them develop into more active readers.”However, the effect had worn off after three days. The researchers also tested a method for continuing the effect: they reminded the children of the

40、sleepover a month later, by hiding the stuffed animals and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method led to a significant increase in the number of children reading to their stuffed animals.14What did the children do in the sleepover program?AThey hid the stuffed animals in the

41、library.BThey took the pictures of the stuffed animals.CThey slept with stuffed animals in the library.DThey took their stuffed animals to the library.15What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?APlaces of the reading research.BCharacters of sleepover program.CChanges of the childrens reading behavior.DNumbe

42、rs of the children in sleepover program.16What is the purpose of the sleepover program?ATo show the findings of the program.BTo help children learn to read actively.CTo lead children to read to stuffed animals.DTo introduce the importance of the program.（2022·北京房山·一模）If we compare active l

43、istening with passive listening, is one better than the other? As we will find one is better than the other for many situations but not necessarily all. Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard wor

44、k. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires people pay all their attention to someone else. A necessary part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the te

45、mporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices (偏见) and strong wishes, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. That means if you want to listen well you should have a short acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptanc

46、e, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be completed only by the will to improve oneself for the growth of each other.Most of the time, we l

47、ack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain expected results to get the conversatio

48、n over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being

49、 truly listened to is always therapeutic (有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy (心理疗法), before any of the causes of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this experience, but th

50、e most important among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.17Why do many people listen passively?ABecause listening passively is better than listening actively.BBecause th

51、ey like to pay attention to what they are talking.CBecause they are not willing to speak to others patiently.DBecause they dont want to care what they are listening.18The word “temporary” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Ahappening immediatelyBlasting for a short timeChaving no reasonsDtrying your

53、octor realized that patients needed to be truly listened.BThe patients could be better soon if they were taken good care of.CTrue communication needs speakers to accept other persons ideas.DMost people do not listen well because listening is a passive process.（2022·北京房山·一模）Shake off the Sh

54、ynessShyness once took over my life. When I was 13, in my French lesson, my teacher told us to record ourselves speaking about our families. I recorded myself with confidence. When I pressed “play” to listen back, I heard my strange voice just like a little kid. That made me very shy and I avoided a

55、ttending events from then on.Years after that, I became a teacher in a primary school. On the first day, my hands could not help but sweat (出汗). The weight of my arms was trying to prevent me from opening the door. Though a little nervous, I opened the door slowly. Suddenly, a wave of laughter flew

56、through the air. Then I walked in, and felt it was a bad choice to be a teacher. They did not seem to mind me at all. After class, a little girl walked up to me and asked, “Could you help me to read the passage?” with the most excited face I have ever seen as if she had just gotten a cookie. “I like

57、 your voice.” she said. I shook my shyness off and my body felt as light as a feather (羽毛). Perhaps to be a teacher was not such a bad idea after all. I read the passage for her and told some interesting stories with all the kids. All of them listened to me carefully, and we had a wonderful story ti

58、me.Besides, there was one simple thing that surprised me most. Every day when the students left, they would clean after themselves and leave their areas tidy without ever being told to do so. Actually they behaved very well. I would have to say these students gave me one of the greatest experiences of my life. These helped me shake off my shyness. From then on, I tried to be a good teacher.In the future, I want to create a space for shy peo
