    People may have some unclear memories of their childhood but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in "Snow White" the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood"1. For example "True love can overcome anything" and "Even a frog can turn into a prince" However at a certain age we start to learn new things about life particularly that love doesn't always win and that a frog is just a frog

2. Just look at animated films like "The Lion King" and "Frozen" which have millions of fans young and old And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland - a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of "Childhood" and "Fairy tales"

"Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form" wrote US author Laura Packer "They are stories of love and loss desire and death riches and ruin" 3. But if children only see just one side of reality adults usually see the other For example in the movie "Maleficent" we′re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen 4. Instead she suffers great losses growing up leading to the creation of her "evil'' side And in US author James Finn Gamer's book "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories "he tells the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood" but with a modem touch

5. They may usually start with "Once upon a time but as we grow older we learn that every story doesn't always need a "happily ever after" to be a good one

AFairy tales are all about reality

BBut somehow our love for fairy tales never dies

CMost of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales

DThe theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness

EFairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children

FIt looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read us at bedtime

GUnlike the children's version of the story we see that the queen wasn't born evil

    Astronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation that are uncommon on Earth. Some of this radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health. It is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study suggests the radiation does not shorten astronauts' lives.

Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data about male astronauts from the United States. They then compared this data with information about a group of men who are in good health, richer than most Americans and receive good health care-professional athletes. The study found that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than other Americans.

Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition than the average American. Some earlier research has linked being an astronaut to a lower risk of early death, the researchers noted. The findings were reported in the publication Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

Much of the existing research on mortality rates in astronauts has not yet explored the mental and physical demands of this job. There also has not been a lot of research on whether astronauts show what is known as the "healthy worker effect". This effect leads people with employment of any kind to have fewer medical problems than people who are unable to work, said Robert Reynolds.

Reynolds said, "The challenge has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be had they been otherwise comparably employed but had never gone to space at all. To do this, we need to find a group that is comparable on several important factors."

1.How did researchers carry out their study?

A.By doing interviews. B.By analyzing some factors.

C.By comparing different data. D.By doing experiments in the lab.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A.All radiation is harmful to human health.

B.Athletes tend to be poorer than most Americans.

C.Healthy worker effect makes working people healthier.

D.Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being astronauts.

3.What can he inferred from Reynolds' words?

A.They are determined to face the challenge.

B.The research is almost impossible to conduct.

C.Several important factors hold back the research.

D.Astronauts are as healthy even they haven't been Astronaut.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Astronauts----Healthy or Otherwise

B.Astronauts Are as Healthy as Athletes

C.Radiation Affects Astronauts' Health

D.Astronauts---- Well-Educated and Earn More

    Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.

The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?

A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.

While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.

This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.

So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.

1.Robert F.Kennedy is cited(引用)because he _______.

A.praised the UK for its GDP. B.identified GDP with happiness.

C.misinterpreted the role of GDP. D.had a low opinion of GDP.

2.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?

A.Its results are inspiring. B.It is sponsored by 163 countries.

C.Its criteria are questionable. D.It removes GDP as an indicator.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a country’s success?

A.Favorable. B.Indifferent.

C.Critical. D.Defensive.

    By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 4 best books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.

Disappearing Earth

By Julia Phillips

In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.

No Visible Bruises

By Rachel Louise Snyder

Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.

Midnight in Chernobyl

By Adam Higginbotham

Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing disaster.

Exhalation

By Ted Chiang

Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.

1.Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?

A.Disappearing Earth B.No Visible Bruises

C.Midnight in Chernobyl D.Exhalation

2.How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?

A.Delighted. B.Awkward.

C.Tense. D.Calm.

3.What kind of book is Exhalation?

A.A folk tale. B.A biography.

C.A love story. D.A sci-fi story.
