32、, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom.One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, she received a call from Cynthia Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughters tools for online learning.Koch immediate
33、ly knew something was wrong with Phillips.The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Koch had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were so jumbled that Koch could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Phillips had fallen four times that day.Koch
34、 called her principal, Charlie Lovelady, who assured her that he would call and check on Phillips himself.Just like Koch, Lovelady could barely understand Phillips. He suspected she might be having a strokehe recognized the signs from when his own father had suffered one. Lovelady was able to make o
35、ut the word “kids” and immediately became concerned that Phillipss two grandchildren, aged six and eight, were probably home alone with hershe is their primary guardianand scared. Lovelady asked his office manager to send an ambulance to the grandmothers home. Then Lovelady called two deans in the s
36、chool district, to tell them what was going on, both of whom dropped everything and drove to the familys home.When they pulled up less than ten minutes later, the EMTs(急救人员)were treating Phillips while the two girls, looking visibly shaken, were outside with a neighbor.The quick response from Koch a
37、nd Lovelady saved Phillipss life. She arrived at the hospital in time to get treatment and beforechronicdamage occurred.“If it werent for them, I wouldnt be here,” said Phillips from her hospital bed about a month after her stroke.Thanks to an extended stay in the hospital, she has regained most of
38、the movement throughout her body except for one hand and a portion of her mouth, which affects her speech.56 .When did the story happen?A. When Koch was in her first grade.B.

41、ects the stroke left on Phillips?A. She could not move about properly.B. She could not speak clearly.C. She could not have meals properly.D. She could not use her hands as before.CSometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that
42、you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics,
43、 but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time that you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the w
44、ay you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your sel
45、f-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are having a neg
46、ative self-image because you cant move past one weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves(卷起你的袖子) and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to th
47、e track and practice. If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yo
48、urself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. Good luck!61. You need to build a positive self-image when you
49、_. A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself62. According to the passage, our self-image _.

What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success. B. How to face challenges in your life.C. H
51、ow to build a positive self-image. D. How to develop your good qualities.65. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A. Adolescents. B. Parents. C. Educators. D. GrandparentsD It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any adverse effect but skip using your WeChat for
52、an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People
53、 use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying billsactivities that are part and parcel of our everyday life. When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, pictu
54、re and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous. In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and t
55、he official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by enterprises. Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion f
56、ollowers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has immensely reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs, and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease, made operations faster, contactless and safe. However, there are concerns about the downsi
57、des of WeChat, such as addiction among primary school children. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for fraud or instigating crimes. However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messa
58、ging apps with prudence and pragmatism, we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly.66.
