A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test.The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take.There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes.Then I saw something interesting.She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn't have bigger problems,and finally made a plan for how to make improvement.

She was never the same as she was one year ago.That one was unwilling to take responsibility.That one stayed in anger and blamed others.We expect our kids to learn and grow.We hope for it.However,most of us grow through adversity(逆境),even trauma(精神创伤).It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly.She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing day by day.Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.

Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, an attack,a natural disaster,or other life-changing happenings.The growth after trauma doesn't mean we get through challenges uninjured.It's been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another.We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial.As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems.Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.

However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic.88 percent of the people surveyed said they also experienced some positive outcomes.They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.

B.It produces little negative feelings.

C.It is one of the fastest ways to make improvement.

D.It does both good and harm.

It was Jennifer Williams' mother who got her hooked on books.As a librarian, she read to her three children every day.

When Williams became an elementary school teacher in Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she.But early on, she realized that some kids had few chances to read.To Williams,the solution was simple:give kids books.In 2017,as part of an event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children's books over three days.Most people would be satisfied with that.

“Anybody could do that,”she said.“I wanted to do something that's going to stretch my faith, my work ethic and my everything.”So she continued setting a new goal for herself: give away one million books.It sounded like an impossible number, but as Williams posted on her blog,“Don't complain in the bleachers if you aren't willing to work hard out on the field.”

So she got to work, first by persuading friends to donate books or money to buy books.Before long,as news of Williams'project spread,strangers started leaving bundles of books at her front door.As quickly as the books come in,Williams gives them to local schools for free and also supplies books to little free libraries around the city.She also hosts a book club in the neighbourhood.In the several years, she's been doing all this and has given away more than 78,000 books.And she's not slowing down.It's too important for kids with few choices.

12.What got Williams interested in books?

A.Her friends'help.B.The courses in college.

C.Her mother's influence.D.The life in the kindergarten.

13.What did Williams try to express through her blog in paragraph 3?

A.Well begun is half done.B.Learn to walk before you run.

C.Strike while the iron is hot.D.Action makes the way to success.

14.How did Williams realize her goal?

A.By hosting a book club at school.

B.By giving kids new books directly.

C.By donating books to schools and libraries.

D.By getting friends to lend books to kids.

15.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The book lady B.The patient teacher

C.A non-profit club D.A responsible librarian

Are the walls of your teenage bedroom decorated with countless posters? When it comes to home decoration, one of the first opportunities we get to express ourselves is by choosing which posters to stick on our teenage bedroom walls.__16___

The simplest argument is that they allow children and teens to match their bedrooms to their personalities.Youth is a time when we are eager for independence and a voice.__17__The bedroom is a sacred space away from the pressures of our school and parents.We all want the spaces we spend time in to be comfortable and personalized.

__18___Buying magazines with posters of your favourite celebrities is cheaper and less time-consuming to decorate a bedroom and, once a trend passes, posters can easily be taken down.

Posters also allow you to welcome different aspects (方面)of your personality.__19___But with posters you can choose to place a sports legend next to a Hollywood actor or a cute puppy next to a pop star.They can be switched around and changing one or all of them can change the style of the room.

Research showed just 7 per cent of teens have posters on their walls now compared to 78 per cent in the 1990s.It's sad to think young people are missing something.__20___But time has moved on.Perhaps the poster will regain its popularity several years later.

A.And posters allow that freedom.

B.Paints and wallpaper can be limiting.

C.Posters are a unique art form for teenagers.

D.Here are what we can express through posters.

E.So why are ordinary posters so popular?

F.They once played such a big part in youth culture.

G.Another advantage of posters as a first choice is their being changed easily.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Daniel and Lucas are twins.They are teenagers, studying in the same class.Their teenage life is rich and colorful.Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year.The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures.

In the summer of last year, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa.They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa, seeing the various beautiful sights and attractions.One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain.Stone Mountain isn't a very high mountain and fortunately, there were some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa,it was a difficult task.

Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa,and they viewed it as an exciting adventure.But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony,who was old and thin.He decided to start a slow walk up to the mountain.

It seemed that Tony was taking him forever to climb just a short distance,but considering his personal safety, he had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons' one step.When he walked closer to his grandsons, he had to stop for a while to regain energy,and then tried to catch up with them,over and over again.

Tony was very tired.He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top.But the twin grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain.On the contrary, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk.They enjoyed all that they had seen and all that they had heard along the way up to the top of the mountain.They stopped now and then to look at every large rock and observe the unusual plant formations.Suddenly, they found a strange plant.Daniel called out,“Grandpa,here is a special plant.Come and have a look.”

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down.______________________
