In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum(课程). Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.

The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations, and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license.

Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours.The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.

After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old),they can go to a designated(指定的) state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person does well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test ____ and get a driver's license.

Organic farming（OF）is a farming system  uses environmentally friendly methods of weed, pest, and disease control. The principles and practices of OF  （express）in the standards of International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements（IFOAM）as the principle of health, ecology, fairness, and care. The organic movement began after 1920, as  reaction by individual agricultural scientists and farmers against industrialized agriculture. Three important movements have been received within first half of the twentieth century: biodynamic, organic,  biological agriculture. In 1998, IFOAM  （adopt）basic standards for OF and processing. Organic production  （method）are those where at least 95% of the ingredients of  （agriculture）origin are organic. Organic content less than 70% in products may not refer  organic production methods.

"Just think positively!"

"It could be worse."

"You should look at the bright side!"

We've all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic (有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron (矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic? Isn't it supposed to be helpful, or "positive", as the name suggests?

"Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not," explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform. Whitney Goodman, another licensed psychotherapist, describes toxic positivity as the "endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are."It's also something we can cause other people to experience.

Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. "Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges," Dowd says, "not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety." "If I feel like you're going to set me aside, I'm going to stop sharing how I'm feeling," Goodman adds.

If you're using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it's OK if you're upset about something. It's valid if something annoys you. "Allow ourselves and other people to share when they're going through a difficult time," she says. Dowd adds that it's essential that "we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel" as life's stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying "Just think positively," we'd better say "Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help?"

A. Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity?

B. Toxic positivity also interrupts connection.

C. It can harm people who are going through difficult times.

D. Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution.

E. They become more intense and can also cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.

F. Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.

G. This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.

As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they'd seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.

The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn't help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.

Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. "This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, " said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.

Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.

After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.
