2. For Derek Veal, it all started when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. He found an old suitcase filled with photographs, some more than 100 years old.

The suitcase belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next change d Veal’s life.

“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents… It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”

The experience made Veal realize the power of old photographs to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store (旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.

Veal is not alone in this hobby. Photo and genealogy (家谱学) enthusiasts worldwide regularly use the internet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos. David, 26, lives in New York and started his project, Museum of lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” David said. The motivation behind this hobby seems to be a combination of enjoying the detective work it takes to solve the puzzle, and the memories these lost pictures can bring back to the families they belong to. “I feel like this is my calling,” said David. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”

3. Italy has recently been selling hundreds of old homes incredibly cheap, thanks to plans that have led to the rebuilding of local communities.

Scottish businessman Cesidio Di Ciacca bought a whole village. He has just finished renewing Borgo I Ciacca, a rural village dating back to the 1500s and historically named after his family.

“At the turn of the 20th century my grandparents left the village in search of a better future,” Di Ciacca said. “They moved to Scotland, leaving behind their home.” Inspired by nostalgia (怀旧) for his ancestors’ land, Di Ciacca decided to return to breathe new life into the village and rebuild the local economy.

Di Ciacca needed to acquire the entire village to begin repair work. So the first step was to track down all 140 owners of the 30-hectare village property —a long and complicated process made more difficult by the fact that emigration (移民) had spread them across the world.

“It all started off as a hobby. Then I realized I needed to make this dream of mine into a sustainable business,”said Di Ciacca. “When my daughter Sofia decided to leave her corporate job and take care of the vineyards, I turned the village into a rural farm producing honey, jams, wine, and extra virgin olive oil, and launching eco-conscious activities.”

The 2, 500-square-meter village now hosts a small cultural center and conference room for meetings. There’s also a canteen with wine-tasting spots and a kitchen for cooking lessons. Bucolic marathons are held in spring, with people running up and down the vineyards and then relaxing at the little square where villagers once met to chat in the evenings after working in the fields.

“I want this village to be an important center for all Italian-Scottish people abroad who want to return and reconnect with their origins, and maybe even help their native country by launching activities and opportunities for growth,” Di Ciacca said.

1. What drove Di Ciacca to rebuild the village of Borgo I Ciacca?

A．The potential for profit.

B．His grandparents’ wishes.

C．Curiosity about local lands.

D．Love for his ancestors’ origins.

2. Why was it hard to find the village’s original owners?

A．They had moved to different places.

B．Many had passed away years ago.

C．They were unwilling to sell their shares.

D．They had refused to return to the village.

3. What activities can people do in Borgo I Ciacca now?

A．Barbecue in the fields. B．Host agricultural meetings.

C．Feed animals on the farm. D．Pick grapes in the vineyards.

4. What can be inferred from Di Ciacca’s words in the last paragraph?

A．He needs fund for further repair work.

B．He thinks the village is a profitable cause.

C．He wants to help others of Italian origins.

D．He plans to make his village a famous resort.

4. As simple as it sounds, smiling can be the first step toward cheering yourself up. Re-search shows not only that you can bring joy to others even if you’re unhappy, but also that doing so is a reliable way to improve your own health and happiness, too. The key is to act like a happy person even if you don’t fe el like it.

Last year, researchers at the University of California asked people to behave either outwardly or inwardly for one week. Those who purposely acted outwardly saw a significant in-crease in health and happiness. Similarly, paying for someone else and volunteering have been shown to raise one’s own happiness levels.

One reasonable explanation is that positive behaviors lead to cognitive change. Try to tell yourself, “I feel unhappy, but I am acting happy!” That makes you feel happier. Psychologist Richard calls this the “As If Principle”: If you want to feel a certain way,act as if you have already done, and your brain will give you that feeling,at least for a while. The famous painter Rockwell was in formal treatment most of his adult life. But his happy paintings were clearly part of his treatment. He was painting his hope.

So you can learn from Rockwell to bring joy to yourself and the people around you when you are down. First, ask what happy people will do to make terrible things better for them-selves and others, Next, make a plan to follow through on everything you’ve just imagined.Write three ideas for extra-kind greetings in a notebook and remind yourself in daily life. Listen to the sound of a happy person and use it as a model. By preparing yourself to cheer up your friends around you the way a happy person will, you’ll create the conditions through which you can produce your own happiness naturally and give the gift of happiness to others as well.

1. How can we be happier according to paragraph 2?

A．By saving much money.

B．By cheating ourselves.

C．By keeping our secrets.

D．By assisting others.

2. Why is Rockwell mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To list the application of “As If Principle”.

B．To introduce some polite behaviors.

C．To introduce his paintings.

D．To show his artistic gift.

3. What does the author suggest doing when you feel unhappy?

A．Listening to blue music.

B．Asking friends for gifts.

C．Learning from happy people.

D．Writing the sad things in a notebook.

4. What is the main idea of the text?

A．The secret to health.

B．The reason for happiness.

C．Keep smiling, even if you fail.

D．Act happy, even when you’re not.

5. If you use “123456”, “password’’ or “qwerty” as a password, you’re probably aware that you’re

at the risk of being attacked by hackers (黑客). But you’re not alone. 1 Recently, password management service NordPass has carried out a study to determine the 200 most commonly used passwords around the world. They analysed the data across 50 countries.

The findings show password choices are often attached to cultural references. 2 In the UK, “liverpool” was the third most popular password, with 224,160 hits, while the name of Chilean football club “colocolo” was used by 15,748 people in Chile, making it the fifth most common choice.

3 Women tend to use more positive and affectionate (深情的) words and phrases such as “sunshine” or “I loveyou”, while men often use sports-related passwords. In some countries, men use more swear words than women.

Choosing long and complex passwords remains the main authentication mechanism (身份验证机制) for computers and network-based products and services. But we know people continue to choose weak passwords and often don’t manage them securely. 4

To overcome the security issues linked with password-based authentication systems, researchers and developers are now concentrating on creating authentication systems which don’t depend on passwords at all. 5 For example, two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods are good ways to secure your accounts. These methods combine a password with biometric information (for example, a face scan or fingerprint) or something distinguishable, like a

captcha (验证码). All in all, a secure password is the first line of defense against cyber attacks. Don’t give up security for convenience.

6. One day last summer, my 9-year-old son Ben and I were riding the waves at a popular ocean beach on outer Cape Cod. As we were playing happily with our surfboard, I suddenly noticed an astonishing _________—some whales were spouting (喷水) well within view of where we

_________.

广东省广州市八区2022-2023学年高一下学期开学联考英语试题

广东省广州市八区2022-2023学年高一下学期开学联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 A hydropower station employee named Gan Yu, who had been missing after a magnitude-6. 8 earthquake, on September 5 in Sichuan province, had been found alive on September 21 Wednesday. Two days ago, Ni Taigao returned to the village to feed his sheep and saw rescue workers who were looking for Gan pass his damaged house. As he was familiar with the mountain, he decided to live in a relative’s home in the village with the purpose of looking for Gan during the daytime. At 7 am on Wednesday, Ni took two bottles of milk and some candies before setting out from the relative’s home. After walking for more than two hours, he heard somebody yelling for help on a mountain slope and found Gan lying in the forests. Gan’s clothes were torn and he had injuries on his legs. Ni immediately called the local government and took out a bottle of milk for Gan to drink it slowly. His mental state was good, but he was extremely weak and needed to rest. “He cried heartedly and said he was lucky to have met me,” Ni said. Gan had survived by eating wild fruits and drinking spring water. Gan was on duty with his co-worker Luo Yong on September 5 when the quake hit, and the pair stayed behind to give first aid to injured colleagues and prevent flooding by releasing water from the dam. They attempted to leave the remote power station, walking for around 20 kilometers. But Gan, who is severely short-sighted, had lost his glasses during the quake and struggled to navigate the mountainous terrain (地形). What’s worse, the communications were interrupted. Later, the two agreed to let Gan stay in place, while Luo turned to the outside world for help. Luo made Gan a bed of bamboo leaves and left him some wild fruits before they separated. Luckily, Luo was rescued on the afternoon of September 8. Gan was reunited with his parents after being rushed to hospital. At the hospital, his parents stroked his face with tears in their eyes and said, “Son, you did a good job!”1．Why did Ni Taigao walk into the forest?
