新疆伊犁州特克斯县2024年中考一模英语试题
At times, some teenagers love their idols (偶像) blindly and try to copy the hair or clothing style of the stars. This reflects their lack of (缺乏) self-confidence. The key to standing out is to build your body confidence. That's really necessary for teenagers.
It's about accepting and being kind to yourself. Research has shown that feeling good about your body can make you do much better in working and learning. But you don't need to fix on the outside of your body. After all, the look is only a small part. An expert on development of teenagers named Jade said, "If you spend much time on the so-called ‘perfect look', you will have less time to do something more meaningful."
To improve body confidence, Jade gives the teenagers some advice.
● Don't talk anything bad about yourself or others.
● Focus on the things you do well in.
● People like you for many reasons. And always tell yourself you are becoming better.
● Learn more knowledge to make you open-minded and believe in yourself.
A. What is body confidence? B. Write down the reasons you hear. C. The cost of achieving "perfect look" is high. D. They can help to bring out the best in yourself. E. Actually, everyone can be different from others. |
Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell(干旱期)for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country's longest river, the Po, is drying up!
This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing. What's more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power(水力发电)for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas(天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没)in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!
