More than 3 years ago I travelled to Britain and stay there for 10 days, and it’s still one of the most wonderful trip I have ever taken. The moment when I arrived in London, I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The museum is modeled in the fictional house in that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived. And it also contains reproductions of any famous crime scenes from the stories. I walked around each room carefully as if we had been at a real crime scene and afraid of destroying valuable clues. As crazy fan of Sherlock, I felt extreme interested. Now I’m looking forward to take my next trip there.

When Mr. Keady asked what was wrong, I __why I thought that his class was dull, how I had expected more, and that his method of teaching was __. When I finished speaking, I __ Mr. Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher.

What do babies, puppies and cartoon characters have in common? 1.
Cute animals and babies attract our attention and make us want to take care of them, which gives them an evolutionary advantage, according to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz.
2.When we look at babies, we are attracted to certain facial features. These features make us want to take care of them so they can grow up healthily and pass their genes on to the next generation.
Looking at baby animals and cartoon characters also causes these feelings.
Childlike characteristics make babies sweet and lead us to build close ties with them. 3.
There are several features that can cause this feeling. 4.If a baby animal or human wobbles (摇摇摆摆) a bit when walking, that can make them seem even cuter.
Of course, we don’t raise baby animals the same way we raise human babies, and we don’t raise cartoon characters at all. 5.Cute cartoon characters become popular this way, and baby animals are more likely to be cared for properly.
Think about some of the things that you find cute, and you’re likely to see that they have some of the same characteristics as a human baby.
A. The science behind cuteness is still unclear.
B. The answer is that they all look cute.
C. This even works when we see things that remind us of a baby.
D. A large round head, large eyes, and soft skin are just some of these features.
E. However, babies get less cute as they get older.
F. Human babies are a good example.
G. But their cuteness does make us like them and want to take care of them.
Every year, millions of people make the same New Year’s resolution(决心): to lose weight. But there’s a problem that requires as much resolution to change as weight: the societal prejudice surrounding weight and obesity.
For decades, researchers have documented negative attitudes toward overweight people - a form of prejudice known as “weight bias (偏见).” People with obesity are commonly viewed as lazy, unintelligent, unattractive, and lacking willpower and self-control. Weight – based discrimination is found in educational, employment and health care settings, yet minimal legal protection exists for those who are targeted. In addition to experiencing weight bias from others, people with obesity tend to accept weight-biased beliefs, leading to lower self-worth.
Some people argue that bitter messages about weight are necessary to motivate those with obesity to take responsibility for their health and lose weight. After all, critics say, it’s their own fault that they are “fat,” and, if they really wanted to, they could control their weight. In this view, promoting body acceptance would only weaken behavior change and encourage obesity.
The problem with this argument is that it flies in the face of hundreds of scientific studies showing the negative health effects associated with experiencing and accepting weight-biased beliefs. The psychological effect of being undervalued due to one’s weight may not seem surprising: increased risk for depression, anxiety, and even self-harming thoughts and attempts in youth.
Also worth noting are the effects of weight bias on weight gain and obesity-related health. Studies show that weight bias is stressful, and when people are under stress, they tend to eat more. Further, when people worry about being judged due to their weight, they avoid fitness and health care setting.
In the coming year, whether or not weight loss is a goal, we can all make efforts to get rid of weight bias and be a little kinder to ourselves and others.

D.Eat your own way regardless of others’ thoughts
One cold December morning in 2017, I boarded a bus with my four large bags at Chandigarh, where I’d been working. I was headed home to Rampur Bushahr, Himachal Pradesh. A few hours into the journey a well-dressed young man got in at Shimla and took the seat next to mine. I was very cautious. I’d often come across men eager to chat up a girl traveling on her own. So I wasn’t surprised when he spoke up.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Rampur,” I replied and put on my earphones. He didn’t bother me after that.
It started to rain and water was dripping through the roof right on to my lap. Seeing that, the man emptied a plastic shopping bag full of clothes, which he pushed into his travel bag. He then handed me the plastic bag. I accepted it with a sheepish “thanks” before spreading it on my lap.
Minutes later, the bus broke down! The conductor announced we’d have to move to another bus that would reach us shortly, and that there’d be no more buses after that, since there had been heavy snowfall near Shimla. My co-passengers got off and stood on the road, ready to rush into the next bus. The conductor reluctantly helped me offload my luggage.
When the bus finally arrived, it had many passengers already. The crowd struggled to get in and I was pushed aside. As I stood there feeling very upset, I saw a hand waving out to me from the entrance to the bus. It was the same young man. He stood there blocking the doorway. I passed my bags to him and he placed them inside one by one, as if we were family traveling together. He then gently helped me in. I soon got pushed to the middle of the bus, where I stood for the next two hours. As we approached Rampur, I craned my neck to look for him – I knew he had been standing right in front. He was not there, and I badly wanted to talk to him. He must have got off at an earlier stop without letting me know. Why would he? He’d done what he had to. I was the one who couldn’t apologize for my attitude or thank him.
1.At first, the author assumed the young man was trying to ____.
A.steal her belongings
B.seek her help
C.make small talk with her
D.lend his hand
2.Why did the man empty one of his plastic shopping bags?
A.To find a coat for the author to get changed into.
B.To cover the window and prevent the rain from coming in.
C.To remove his clothes from inside it and put them into his travel bag.
D.To help the author to keep out of the rain.
3.How is the article mainly developed?
