What are friends? We often talk about the topic for others. I think friends are those people whom can help you when you are in the trouble. Don’t forget the saying, “A friend in need was a friend indeed.” Your friend can tell you your mistake, though what they say is hard for you to listen. You can share happiness, trouble and worry with our friends. Someone also says, “You can’t walk some steps without a friend.” So I think friends are absolute important to us. I would like to make as much friends as possible.

Chinese restaurants, which almost never close on Christmas, have managed 1.(become) as culturally American as milk and cookies for Santa.

But before Americans were crowding into Chinese restaurants 2. Christmas dinner, they were more interested in crowding these restaurants out. Labor unions once organized boycotts against Chinese restaurants, but these boycotts 3.(rare) succeeded in their aim of driving the restaurants out of business. As is known, early Chinese 4.(immigrant) were not Christian, and losing an entire day of sales for a holiday they didn’t understand did not make economic sense to them. And Chinese restaurants boomed during the 5.(construct) of the Transcontinental Railroad, 6.(cater) to Chinese miners and railroad workers. Chinese restaurants used to be one of the few public places 7. welcomed African-American diners. Besides, Jewish customers were also welcomed because Chinese owners and waiters had no history of prejudice toward them. Therefore, 8. makes sense that Chinese restaurants were a destination for Jewish families on Christmas.

Over the past years Google 9.(find) that more people search for “Chinese restaurant open” during the week of Christmas, and Chinese food on Christmas has become an 10.(accept) alternative for anyone looking outside the usual holiday celebrations. It seems like proof that Chinese food and culture is finally part of mainstream America.

    There are thousands of international students who enroll (注册) in private high schools in the U.S. each year. 1.

Cape Cod Academy is located in one of the least diverse parts of Massachusetts. Tony Zhang comes from Guiyang, a city in southern China. When asked about his first day there, Tony said he had no friends for the first couple of weeks. 2. Not because of the clothes, but because he chose a high school nearly 8,000 miles from home. Tony wants to experience a new culture and go to college in the U.S. He says the move forced him to grow up.

When another teenager Catherine Zhao got here from Beijing, it took her quite a while to get used to small-town Cape Cod. There are no skyscrapers and everybody drives. 3. “In China, we learn English in class, we know how to write, how to read, but there are not too many opportunities to talk there,” she said.

4. Some students chat with their parents via the Internet every day. Tony also talked about the difficulties he and other Chinese students faced there. “I will say they, the American students, in general, think we’re math geniuses or science geniuses. But, you know, to be honest, we are human beings as well, so we play sports, too,” he said. Another thing was, when they saw him writing Chinese, they would be like, “Oh my God, how can you even do that, to communicate in such a complicated language?”

Realizing that is part of life here for Tony and his Chinese classmates, Catherine is taking the long view, and hopes to study piano at Boston’s Berkley School of Music. Tony wants to major in economics and education at Brown University. After, he says, he wants to go back to China and work on the education system there. 5.

A.There’s homesickness, too.

B.As we can see, he’s matured a lot.

C.Actually, he isn’t like many teenagers.

D.That can bring on some serious culture shock.

E.She said the biggest challenge for her was talking.

F.Above all, they have to overcome the culture shock first.

G.She admitted that she hated communicating with other peers.

    Some of the most famous scientific discoveries happened by accident. From the microwave oven to penicillin, scientists trying to solve a problem have sometimes found unexpected things. This is exactly how we created phosphorene nanoribbons (磷烯纳米带) — a material made from one of the universe’s basic building blocks, which has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of technologies.

We'd been trying to separate layers of phosphorus crystals (晶体) into two-dimensional sheets. Instead, our technique created tiny ribbons one single atom thick and only 100 or so atoms across, but up to 100,000 atoms long. We spent three years improving the production process, before announcing our findings. The two-dimensional ribbons have a number of remarkable properties (属性). Their unbelievable width allows their properties, such as whether and how they conduct electricity, to be controllable. They are also very flexible, which means that they can follow any surfaces they’re put on perfectly, and can even be twisted.

More than 100 scientific papers predicted the transformative potential of these ribbons, should it be possible to create them, across a range of technologies — some as many as five years before the publishing of our discovery in Nature. Perhaps the most important of these is in the area of battery technology. The structure of phosphorene nanoribbons means that the charged ions (带电离子) that power batteries could soon move up to 1000 times faster than they currently possible do. This would mean a significant decrease in charging time, alongside an increase in capacity of approximately 50%. Such performance gains would provide massive boosts to the electric car and aircraft industries, and allow us to use renewable energy more readily, even on grey, calm days.

1.What does “we” in the text refer to?

A.Scientists. B.Doctors.

C.Publishers. D.Technicians.

2.What can we know about phosphorene nanoribbons in Paragraph 2?

A.Its shape. B.Its origin.

C.Its structure. D.Its characteristic.

3.What would reduce charging time according to the scientific papers?

A.The cleaner source of energy.

B.The bigger batteries of tiny ribbons.

C.The increasing capacity of batteries.

D.The faster moving speed of charged ions.

4.What does the text mainly introduce to us?

A.The amazing development of battery technology.

B.Significant changes brought by wonderful discoveries.

C.A “Wonder material” created accidentally by scientists.

D.Unexpected inventions made in human’s history.
