Where do you find beauty? Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of \"who\" is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashi on Photographer to turn his lens 镜头） to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chanee encounter with an albino白 化病）girl.
\"1 was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial intention - that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.\" Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. \"I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I
remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there* s somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.H said Waithera.
The documentary is the brainchild of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick' s photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Rick are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. They say their tour is not about money, it' s about the messagMeA: s I travel from community to community, V m taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change - how you see, see how you change.\"

For much of the past hun dred years, classrooms have bee n desig ned with the teacher seated in front of desks for stude nts. But many educators now say childre n can do better in a less structured en vir onment.
Bob Pearlma n works as an educati on con sulta nt in the Un ited States. He toTche Associate Pressthat traditi onal classrooms are a thi ng of the past. Now stude nts work in \"exte nded lear ning areas\" that in clude project-pla nning rooms, workrooms, and laboratories, as well as lear ning spaces for groups and in dividuals. Pearlma n points to Albemarle County Public Schools, in Charlottesville, Virgi nia. The school system in vited teams from all its schools to develop learning spaces that would help students deal with complex ideas and work on creative build ing
projects. Now, its eleme ntary school classes have excha nged traditi onal desks for thi ngs like soft seati ng and conn ectable tables.
Another change to the design of classrooms is the ability to connect to the Internet.\" Classrooms, libraries, and laboratories used to be the only spaces where stude nts spe nt their school hours. Wireless, laptops and project lear ning have cha ngedJbat：' Pearlma n said. He no ted that this has made all school spaces into possible exte nded lear ning areas.
David Thorn burg, who wrote the book From the Campfire to the Holodeck, said Pearlma n* s con cept catered to the stude nts' n eed. He said schools should provide spaces basedo n how huma ns learn. That could mean one room is used in differe nt ways at different times, or in different ways at the same time.
Earp is with Teacher magaz ine, a publicati on of the non profit Australia n Coun cil for Educatio nal Research. She no ted that in the 1970s, America n Robert Sommer, a psychologist, was urging a critical look at traditional classroom designs. Earp said that in addition to newer \"freeform\" classroom designs, some teachers could find good results with
designs that combine new and old ideas. They could try lining up desks at the start of the year and then placing them in groups as the classroom relationships become clearer and project work begins.
46. What change happened to Albemarle County Public Schools? A. Classroom furniture. B. Learning materials. C. Teaching Strategy. D. Studying time.
47. What does the underlined word \"that\" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The new design. B. The existing classroom.
C. The application of the Internet. D. The limitation on learning spaces. 48. What' s David' s attitude towards Pearl mazn s classroom design? A. Objective. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D.

Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you' II likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they' re talking about a person they know.
In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn' t. After examining, researchers found the readers' brains showed heightened connectivity in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this
heightened connectivity. We call that a \"shadow activity\" , almost like a muscle memory. So even after you' ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.
It has bee n suggested that people who read a lot of fictio n become more empathic
寸青的）， because fiction is a simulation （模仿） of social experiences, in which people
practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt
a high level of \"emoti on al tran sportati on\" while readi ng — as compared to people who wereH t take n by the story or who read non-fiction— displayed higher levels of empathy whe n tested. In crease of empathy is importa nt for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performa nee at work and cooperative behaviors.
Besides, reading improves \"Theory of Mind\" . It is \"the ability to understand that others have men tal states that are differe nt from on e own.\" Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has bee n found to do just the oppos— a reduced un dersta nding of others and weaker cognitive （认矢口的） development overall.
Maybe we should put more of a priority on no vel-readi ng. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, \"Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experie nee; it is a social experie nee.
51. Which of the statements is true according to Paragraph 2? A. When they finish a book, the brain connectivity disappears. B. The participants in the study all read the novel Pompeii. C. Read ing no vels in creases conn ectivity in our brai n. D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly. 52. What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3? A. They tend to be emotional in social experiences. B. They are more likely to be innovative and cooperative. C. They have poor interpersonal skills. D. They are more sensitive to others' views. 53. What' s the effect of watching TV or movies? A. It distinguishes your views from those of others. B. It con tributes to your cog nitive developme nt. C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot. D. It changes your overall mental states.
54. What does the underlined word \"priority\" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Preference. B. Authority. C. Exposure. D. Evaluation. 55. What do you think is the best title for the passage? A. Reading fiction VS Watching movie B. Reading fiction makes a full man C. Novel-reading is a \"shadow activity,, D. Nove I-readers share emotions

r ve had plenty of friends throughout my life, but I always felt like I was missing that one big friendship that so many other women seemed to have. As an only child, I had always longed for a sister. As an adult, all I wanted was a true best friend to fill that vacancy.
When I was thirty-two, I was living my dream as a stay-at-home mom and then my world came crashing down. On a Tuesday afternoon in May of 2018 I was diagnosed with a stage-two cancer. My days of dates, trips to the zoo, and lazy mornings at home with my twenty-one-month-old son turned into appointments with doctors, terrifying body scans and a whole lot of uncertainty.
Over the course of eight months I got cycles of treatment. While the pain and side effects were almost unbearable, the fear and anxiety that developed were even worse. My husband and parents were an amazing support system. However, I still felt depressed because it was impossible for them to figure out what I was going through both physically and emotionally. But I couldn' t expect them to. Plus , I wanted to be strong for them so that they could in turn be strong for my son. I never missed having a sister more than I did during that time.
Eventually I found myself wishing for a \"cancer friend\" so that I could relate to someone who knew what I was going through. I would sit in the ward and look around the
room, trying to find some one to befrie nd. I met some won derful people, but somehow I never connected with them. Later, I continued to try to find a \"cancer friend So gradually I became desp ondent about the pote ntial for finding such a frie nd. Un expectedly, I found what I n eeded in the most un likely places. In my son's preschool, I met with a young mum called Leah, who also had a can cer. We had much in com mon and became the closest frie nds. We sometimes compared our situati on to hav ing bee n to war. We went to battle for our lives and found it became easier for us to do it together.

V. 书面表达 (25%) Dear Peter,
I* m Li Jin, Chairman of the Student Union of Yucai Middle School. Thank you so much for inviting us to have a one-week exchange activity at your school and I am writing to enquire about further details.
I am planning to take 10 members to go to your school at the end of September, hoping to make good use of this opportunity to communicate and learn from you. First of all, I wonder if you could possibly send me a daily schedule of the activity in advance so that I can prepare better for it? Since this is our first visit to America, would you be kind enough to offer some suggestions on what we need to take with us? Additionally, we have prepared a display of Chinese culture, involving painting, calligraphy, pa per-cutting and pipa performance, which will expose you to traditional Chinese art and music.
We are really looking forward to the activity. I would appreciate it if you could reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours Li Jin
