【题目】 For years, I fought with the “bird’s nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop (拖把)”.

When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.

“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.

“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.”

After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.

Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.

【题目】 Many people have been making fun of Paris Hilton online recently. The 36-year-old US actress and model said on social media that she “invented” the selfie (自拍) in 2006, posting a photo of her and Britney Spears as “proof”. Internet users immediately proved her wrong, posting evidence (证据)of selfies that appeared much earlier in history.

In one example, a user posted a selfie that Buzz Aldrin, the famous astronaut, took a picture of himself in space in 1966. But perhaps the funniest example was a black-and-white selfie that was taken by American photographer Robert Cornelius in 1839. It is quite possibly the first selfie ever taken in history.

Why do people love to take selfies so much? Is it because we’re naturally vain (虚荣的) and proud? Maybe it’s actually the opposite--perhaps we feel insecure (没有安全感的) or shy. So we take photos of ourselves, post them online and wait for people to give us compliments (称赞).

Taking selfies can be dangerous, though. For example, if you take one while you’re on holiday and post it online, some thieves might see it and know that you aren’t home. They then might break into your home and steal your things while you’re away.

There are even people who have died while taking selfies. According to Forbes magazine, 127 people around the world died while taking selfies from 2014 to 2016. It can be very dangerous to take selfies while standing near high places, like roofs and cliffs (悬崖). Taking selfies underwater or on train tracks is also quite dangerous. So be careful out there if you decide to take some.

1The underlined word “proof” in Paragraph 1 means ________.

A.消息B.证据C.例子D.历史

2Which may be the earliest selfie, according to the story?

A.Paris Hilton and Britney Spears’ selfie.B.Buzz Aldrin’s selfie in space.

C.A color photo taken by an American scientist.D.A black-and-white photo of Robert Cornelius.

3What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A.Paris Hilton is insecure and shy.B.Why people enjoy taking selfies.

C.Why people are naturally vain.D.Taking selfies is a good way to make friends.

4What can we learn from paragraphs 4 and 5?

A.Taking selfies can be dangerous.

B.There are no advantages to taking selfies.

C.Every year, 127 people die from taking selfies, on average.

D.Taking selfies near cliffs is more dangerous than underwater.

5If you are the writer, what will you write at the end of the passage?

A.Selfies have been around for longer than you think.

B.There is no need to take selfies near high places.

C.No selfie is worth risking your life for— no matter how good it might look.

D.People will lose their lives while taking selfies.

【题目】Have you ever tried to write a poem? It’s easier than you might think. Just pick up a pen and begin practicing. Here are the steps to write a poem.

Choose your topic.1 Some people can start writing poems without really deciding what to write about; when their pen or pencil hits the paper, the words just flow (畅流).

Free write for five minutes about your topic. Then go back and read it. Are any words or expressions especially good? 2 For example, if you are describing something (a bird), write down descriptive words about it (looks, colors), and the kind of story you would like to tell about (the bird fell out of a tree). If you are writing about an event in your life, write down your feelings and thoughts of that event.

Write your poem. Remember, a poem doesn’t have to rhyme(押韵).3 But it should show your feelings of the topic. And it should sound nice to you.Have a friend read your poem aloud to you.

4 If not, go back and rewrite the parts you don’t like.

5 Read it to others. Read it aloud to yourself. Put it somewhere if you want.

A. Do you like the way it sounds?

B. Mark(作记号) them and use them in your poem.

C. Enjoy your poem.

D. What would you like your poem to be about?

E. It doesn’t have to use sentences, either.
