20.More than 80 percent of Chinese students returned to the country after completing their studies abroad,and the country sent 544,500 students in 2016 (61)to study(study) abroad.
China's Ministry of Education (MOE)(教育部)said at(62)anews conference that most of the world's foreign students who study abroad are from China.Over 90 percent of them attend schools in English-speaking countries,such (63)as the US and Australia,and over 70 percent pursue at least a bachelor's degree.
It also said 98 percent of government-sponsored(公费的) students returned to China.So far,government-sponsored students who study abroad (64)have chosen(choose)to pursue disciplines most needed in China,(65)including(include) engineering,agriculture and medical science.
The government-sponsored students have signed an agreement that says they(66)are required(require) to reimburse (偿还) the government if they do not return home after completing their studies.
China is trying to attract more students with an international background because of the country's involvement in (67)global(globe) cooperation.
"Moreover,most Chinese (68)families(family) only have one child,so many of us return to China (69)willingly(willing) because we want to stay close to our family and friends,"said a student surnamed Su,(70)who gave up his job in the UK and returned to take care of his mother in China.

18.Ways To Manage Stress Creatively
Stress is a huge problem for us all.Here's what I've learned and apply to manage stress using my creativity.
1.(36)D
Putting my creativity and my work first,I often neglected to eat,exercise,even stand up from my desk.I now realize that how I feel physically (and mentally) is more important than the work I create.Taking care of myself includes all natural remedies(疗法).I'm learning how to say no to social pressures,in favor of my own well being.
2.Don't worry about what other people think of you.
This is easier said than done,but I promise it does come with age.(37)GA lot of people do offer unsolicited(自发的) advice.It is human nature to want to help other people.But if that advice is coming from a place of control or judgment,RUN in the opposite direction.
3.Don't compare.
(38)EMost people are not as happy as they describe themselves to be.The best advice I ever heard was this:Don't compare your inside to other people's outside.Be open to new experiences,be kind to yourself and accepting of the journey which is life.Being present means not thinking into the future,or harping(唠叨) on the past.The coolest thing about being present is that CREATIVITY LIVES IN THE MOMENT.(39)B
4.Your intentions matter.
(40)F What was your intention?I remind myself to enjoy the process of my creative fun stuff,it's for me.If others like it,great,but it's the enjoyment of my creative intention,in the moment,that I treasure.

A.Stop judging.
B.Each moment is UNIQUE.
C.We have to work in order to live.
D.Take care of yourself-Mind AND Body.
E.Stress is often caused by comparison to others.
F.It's important to remember why you started doing something.
G.No one cares about what you're doing unless what you're doing affects them.
17.Elizabeth Freem an was born at about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired,along with her sister,by John Ashley,a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders.She became known as"Mumbet"or"Mum Bett".
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day,Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade(铁锹).Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead.Furious,she left the house and refused to come back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return,Mumbet consulted a lawyer,Theodore Sedgewick.With his help,Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys,Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people were free and equal,then she thought it should apply to her.Eventually,Mumbet won her freedom-the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough,after the trial,the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick.Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy(传家宝)lived on in her many descendants(后裔).One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois,one of the founders of the NAACP,and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tomb stone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.It reads,in part:"She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write,yet in her own area she had no superior or equal."

32.What can we know from the first three paragraphs?B
A.Mumbet was a slaveholder.
B.She was hit by Ashley's wife.
C.Mumbet won her freedom after others.
D.Mumbet ran away from the Ashleys because she wanted to be a lawyer.
33.In the second paragraph,the underlined word"Furious"probably meansC.
A.calm       
B.outstanding
C.angry      
D.satisfied
34.From the passage,we can infer thatA.
A.Mumbet affected her younger generation in a way
B.Mumbet had only one grandchild-an important writer
C.Mumbet left the house and refused to come back
D.Mumbet founded the new Massachusetts constitution
35.What does the passage mainly talk about?B
A.The difference between men and women.
B.The life of a brave African American woman.
C.The friendship between a lawyer and a slave.
D.Mumbet's struggle for fame and fortune.
16.About a century ago,the average life-span (寿命) for Americans was about 50 years.Today,the typical American lives for around seventy-eight years.
According to a German aging study,the maximum life span in industrialized countries has increased by two years every decade since the mid 19th century.What accounts for such increased longevity?Between 1900 and 1950,inventions such as refrigeration(制冷技术)and sewage treatment(污水处理) meant  that  young  people  were  able  to  survive  longer.Moreover,medical breakthroughs helped contain diseases such as polio(小儿麻痹症),which killed many children.These advances helped increase the average life span.
Medical discoveries after World War II tended to benefit older people.Treatments for heart disease,for example,have allowed the elderly to live longer on average.So does this mean that future medical breakthroughs will result in even longer average life spans,or have we reached our limit?Scientists disagree.
Some argue that if science is one day able to remove disease and old-age infirmity,there will be virtually no limit on how long humans can live.Some even predict that by the year 2150,the average life span will have increased to around 120 years.
Other life-expectancy researchers find that scenario(假设) highly unlikely.Our bodies'cells can keep reproducing for only so long before they peter out(分裂).Only when science finds a way to keep our cells dividing longer will we see another significant leap in life expectancy.
Still,with plenty of exercise and a healthy diet,those who hold the view can always hope that they'll live long enough to break the record held by Jeanne Louise Calment of France,who lived to be 122.

D.concerning.
13.There are about 100 million middle-aged women dancing in parks and on squares in China,and Deborah Roundy,(61)a U.S retired school teacher,is one of them.
Mrs.Roundy is the only foreigner on the Shanghai dance team at Tongji University,where she is (62)currently (current) teaching English.
Mrs.Roundy ran upon a dozen or so middle-aged women dancing (63)to the tunes of Chinese songs in 2012.At the time,she didn't feel used to the new environment and wanted to have some fun in her life.She (64)was invited(invite) to join the dancing team.
At first,Mrs.Roundy communicated with her teammates by (65)exchanging(exchange) notes to help translate for her.Now she uses a translation app.On her iPad.(66)While/Though/Althoughthe Chinese language is not the most difficult thing for her,mastering Chinese dance is.Mrs.Roundy used to do ballet.She said (67)dancers(dance) in the U.S.always dance facing the audience.But in China,they change directions all the time,and (68)it was very confusing for her at first.
They have developed good personal relations.Mrs.Roundy says they also go out to eat and on field trips together,which are (69)unforgettable(forget ) experiences for her.
Square dancing opens a window for her (70)to understand(understand) China,Mrs.Roundy said:Besides dancing,she and he husband have been active in community life,teaching English,and helping elderly neighbors.
11.Some people never master the art of being patient,and at times,all of us struggle with being patient.Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our button,making it much more difficult for us to remain patient.(31)DIt becomes harder to concentrate,and it becomes harder to be polite to other people.
(32)CNo one is born to be patient.As you learn and grow and experience things in life,you become wiser and learn how to interact with different kinds of people.
(33)BThis is normal,as you have never had the experience of working in an office before.At first,it might be difficult to understand your job.You might even lose patience,but over time you'll be able to interact with other people with more confidence and patience.Someone at work disagrees with you,and it might make you become anxious.(34)EYou'll be less likely to become bothered when presented with different situations.Though it might be difficult,you should try to be patient in life.This will help you in nearly all situations.(35)A Age doesn't always mean that someone is wise,and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient,though the two often go hand in hand.

A.You must keep in mind that patience comes with experience and wisdom.
B.Once you lose patience,things tend to go wrong.
C.Learning to be patient takes time and it takes patience to learn to be patient.
D.Patience is acquired as you acquire wisdom,and wisdom is the child of experience.
E.However,with experience,you'll learn how to present your opinions clearly.
F.The more patience you have,the better you'll cope in various situations.
G.For example,you start your first job in a big office,and you don't really know how to work with lots of people.
