A big ship's engine(引擎) didn't work and no one could repair it.The ship's owner turned to an old man-an engineer who had 40 years of experience.He checked the engine very carefully.Then he took a small hammer (锤子) from his tool bag and gently knocked on the engine.Soon,the engine started to work again.

The engineer told the ship owner that the total cost was $10，000.

"What?!" the owner said. "You did almost nothing.Tell me why it costs so much."

"The answer is simple.Knock with a hammer：$2.Know where to knock and how to knock：$ 9，998，" the engineer answered,"If I can finish a job in 30 minutes,it's because I spent 10 years,not the 30 minutes."

Hard practice for a long time can bring a success.Something that looks simple to you or me might actually take years of hard work.Actors,musicians and sports stars make their work look easy,but that's because they have been doing it for so long that it's easy for them.That's the price of knowledge.

In the USA，many teachers keep fish,rabbits and other animals in their classrooms as class pets.They say the animals help students with their lessons.According to the American Humane organization,more than 70 percent of teachers who have classroom pets say the animals help students learn responsibility.Research also shows that classroom pets can reduce stress since they are fun to be with.

But others think pets should be expelled(排除) from classrooms.In January,2018，the Durango School District (学区)in Colorado put a ban (禁令)on class pets.Now animals can be brought into Durango schools for certain lessons,but they can't stay.Officials were worried that animals might create problems for kids with allergies (过敏反应).They also worried about whether the animals would get proper care.Here's what two students think.

Schools should ban pets because students might have a hard time paying attention to the teacher when there are animals in the classroom.Besides,being in a noisy classroom can be stressful for animals.Students might not know how to deal with them properly.They could drop them or feed them the wrong food.

--Patrick Having classroom pets gives students a fun way to learn about animals.In my class last year,we had a bearded dragon (鬃狮蜥)named Eliot as our class pet subjects.Pets also help kids learn how to work as a team.My classmates and I took turns feeding Eliot and cleaning his home.

--Katie

To stay safe, we have to sacrifice (牺牲) many things we enjoy because of COVID-19， including physical touch. Research has shown that humans need physical touch to stay healthy. Without it, many become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close： a tree!

Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy (疗法) for years. The Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku is an example. Shinrin means forest in Japanese, and Yoku is the Japanese word for bath. But no soap or water is needed for Shinrin Yoku. All that nature bathing requires is spending time in nature： listening to its sounds, breathing in its air and connecting to its life force.

Recently, Israel has been encouraging tree hugging. The country's nature and parks agency agrees on the public health campaign. Orit Steinfeld is director of Israel's Apollonia National Park. She says, "In this special period, we encourage people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express love and get love." Inside the park, some visitors have followed the advice and hugged trees. Barbara Grant is one of them. She says, "The most basic human need is for connection, for touching, and for hugging."

65. What does the underlined sentence mainly tell us?

A. Sick people feel lonely from time to time.

B. People may get sick when they feel lonely.

C. Physical touch is very important to humans.

D. It's necessary for us to stay away from others.

66. The Japanese Shinrin -Yoku is mentioned to show that ______ .

A. nature therapy isn't a new idea

B. it's better to wash hands with soap

C. Japanese people are good with nature

D. tree hugging enjoys widespread popularity

67. In Orit Steinfeld's opinion, it's ______ for people to hug trees.

A. impossible B. helpful C. dangerous D. meaningless

68. What's the BEST title for the passage?

A. Different forms of physical touch.

B. The importance of physical touch.

C. The Japanese practice of Shinrin- Yoku.

D. Tree hugging—a form of physical touch.

Dealing with a nosebleed may seem simple. But recently, the British Red Cross asked parents with young children how to help a child with a nosebleed. About 65% of the parents did not choose the right way.

Learning to deal with a nosebleed is necessary. Here is the story of how Claire helped her daughter.

On a very hot and sunny day, Claire took her daughter Bella to the park. On the way home, Bella was tired and slept in the air. When they got home, Claire found that something was wrong. "As I was putting her down, blood started to pour from her nose. It was all over her face and that made me scared," Claire said. Having already learned first aid(急救), Claire knew what to do. "Bella was getting upset because of the blood, I sat her up, let her forward and pressed the side of her nose," Claire said."But my mom said I should tilt (使倾斜) Bella's head back. I knew that wasn't right, as leaning forward would stop the blood from going into her stomach."

Luckily, Bella's nosebleed stopped after a few minutes. Claire was glad that she remembered what she had learned. In fact, every parent should learn first aid. Then he or she can save his or her child in a right way. That's important to the child when something dangerous happens.

69. What can we learn about British parents from the first paragraph?

B. Most of them are too busy to look after their children.

C. Most of them think it's easy to deal with a nosebleed.

70. Why did Claire feel scared?

A. Because nobody was at home giving her a hand.

B. Because Bella was badly hurt and was going to die.

C. Because too much blood came out from Bella's nose.

D. Because she didn't know how to stop the nosebleed.

71. What does the underlined word "lean" mean in Chinese?

A. 倾斜 B. 倒塌 C. 直立 D. 倒下

72. How did Bella feel when she saw the blood?

A. Angry. B. Surprised. C. Unhappy. D. Unlucky.
