Never have I experienced such a special time. It is three months since I begin to study at home. I’ve become accustomed to have classes online. Between classes, I can discuss which I don’t understand in class with my classmates. I can also turn my teachers for help at any time. I take exercise every day at home to stay health. My parents and I usually watch news over dinner to get the latest informations on the disease. We feel sorry for the people who are affected by them both at home or abroad. Leaves turn green and flowers become fragrantly in the school yard. I hope everything returns to the normal. And I’m expecting to go back to school soon.

If you’re a grandparent, shaking a leg with your grandchild might benefit both of you. That’s the conclusion of a new study from Israel, where researchers examined how dancing together 1. (positive) affected 16 grandmas and granddaughters. They’ve discovered it can encourage exercise and can also 2. (deep) ties between the two generations. Dancing “promoted physical activity even when the body was tired and weak,” said the study author. “This emphasizes the significance of the close and familiar relationship as 3. means to promote new experiences, 4. can occasionally seem impossible for the older person.”

The granddaughters teamed 5. their grandmas for three free-form dance sessions. They danced once a week for 10 to 15 minutes in their grandmother’s home. Granddaughters 6. (tell) to mirror their grandmas’ movements, encourage their abilities and let them rest when 7. (need). Videos of the dance sessions, 8. (person) diaries and interviews showed that the sessions led to positive feelings and better mood for the grandmothers. The granddaughters, meanwhile, got a new view on 9. (age).

Both groups were grateful and said the dance sessions strengthened10. (they) bonds, according to the study published recently in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

    My carpenter is a competent, even gifted craftsman. But my old house still makes him feel ________. It was ________ well over a century ago, probably by very poor people, and it ________. My carpenter’s ________ to me: “Move out.” What he doesn’t ________ is that I like it here. It’s my home’s imperfections that make it interesting.

This very thought ________ me just the other day while I was sitting at the counter in a bar. The bar opened in 1931, and little about its ________ has changed over the years. The long countertop has been bent and worn down to its bedrock so ________. Once a visitor asked the owner ________ why he hadn’t ________ it. Not missing a beat and being a man after my own heart, the ________ remarked, “Do you know how many elbows it took to get it this way?” That’s it, then. An imperfect product, like a perfect one, is also the________ of our labor, and as such it needs to be ________ for what it is, rather than what it isn’t.

I’m ________ that, at root, my carpenter________realizes this. Recently, while making a new skylight (天窗) in my home, he ________ wood and had to take a piece from my scrap (废料) pile. The “________” was that my son, when he was little, had burned his name into the board with a magnifying glass. “I’m sorry I had to use scrap,” said the carpenter as we looked up at the burnt ________, “but I didn’t think you’d ________.

    When we use the term “disability,” many people think about those obvious disabilities like blindness. However, disabilities also include a number of other conditions that typically are invisible (无形) to others such as hearing problems and sleep disorders. 1. For example, someone with sclerosis (硬化症) looks “normal” but has to use a parking space for people with disabilities.

No one really knows for sure whether someone has an invisible disability unless it is disclosed (公开). The decision about whether to disclose an invisible disability can weigh heavily on an individual, making social and work situations especially challenging. The burden of hiding a disability creates stress in social and work situations that might affect health and well-being badly.

2. It also increases the possibility that the person will find and develop a social support network with others who might have similar conditions or experiences.

Despite the benefits of disclosing, research reports that individuals with invisible disabilities often do not disclose their conditions. 3. Reasons might be as follows. First, even if protected by law from discrimination, they still face potential prejudice from others. Second, when someone who “looks normal” says he has a disability and requests special services, people might question whether the disability really exists. 4. Sometimes, people might experience the symptoms without realizing.

5. They must carefully weigh the potential benefits of not disclosing against the cost to health and well-being. We should be aware of the unique challenges facing people with invisible disabilities and put ourselves in their shoes.

A.Invisible disabilities are more difficult to cure.

B.These conditions can make everyday activities difficult.

C.Individuals with invisible disabilities should make wise decisions.

D.On the contrary, disclosure relieves the stress of hiding the condition.

E.They might assume the person is only trying to gain special privileges.

F.Otherwise, people with invisible disabilities should disclose their conditions.

G.This is especially true if they are young and have recently acquired the disability.

    Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion (侵蚀).

Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms. They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors-like coastal building developments, all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be.

It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year.

Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action. Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.

However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world’s beaches. If the world’s governments are able to stick to modest cuts to heat-trapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 22%of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, a number that grows to 40%by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited.

1.Which is the biggest contributor to severe beach erosion?

A.Damaging storms. B.Wave erosion.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A.It is hard to protect coastal beaches.

3.What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A.Popularizing the beaches.

B.Holding sand in place.

C.Reducing the project costs.

D.Stopping global warming.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Half beaches could disappear by 2100.

B.Climate change is doing harm to our lives.

C.The beach is more than a vacation destination.

D.Governments are taking action to fight wave erosion.
