    Lots of students are unsure about a variety of factors when they consider which college might represent a good fit for them, but they believe they know exactly what they want when it comes to college size.

1.. Here are a few of the less-obvious reasons a smaller school might be a good fit:

1. The professors actually do the teaching. Most small colleges only teach undergraduate degrees.2., and more importantly, graduate students won’t be teaching any of your classes.

2. More focused and direct feedback (反馈). You’ve heard the expression “You’re just a number.” Think about the homework and tests that need to be graded in a class with 450 students. 3.. But at small schools, class sizes are smaller, and professors will have more time to read a student’s work.

3. Research chances. Students at small schools are able to develop relationships with professors more easily, since there is a smaller number of students. 4..

4. Less red tape. It’s just easier to get things done at a small school. 5., and there are fewer regulations. One of the biggest frustrations (令人沮丧的事物) at large schools is that important classes become full quickly, forcing students to either take them over the summer or stay an extra term.

A.Small colleges may offer more sports activities

B.Professors and administrators have more flexibility

C.That means there aren’t graduate students on campus

D.The size of a school really can change your experience

E.It’s great to see students make a 180-degree turn after they visit some small colleges

F.Teachers there don’t have much time to offer advice on every student’s piece of work

G.Most professors know their students’ names and count on them to take part in their research

    Researchers have long known that lack of sleep can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of sleep, they always hope that turning off the alarm on weekends will repay the weekly sleep debt and change any ill effects around completely.

New research published in Current Biology destroys those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks. They also experienced metabolic disruption (新陈代谢紊乱). Weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of lack of sleep. However, those gains were wiped out when people went back into their old schedule the next Monday.

“These health effects are long-term,” said Kenneth Wright at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. “It’s kind of like smoking once was. People would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but now they will say that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think “catch-up” sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”

Michael Grandner, at the University of Arizona, said the study highlights that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet (资产负债表). Considerably cutting calories all week and then bingeing on (无节制地吃) a giant pizza on Saturday would not restore balance. That is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea that they can make up for it on the weekend.

The study suggests people should put sleep first — cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people do not have a choice about losing sleep due to tight schedules, they should think about sleep first in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.

1.Why do people hope to sleep longer on weekends?

A.To avoid some debt concerns. B.To cure some illness.

C.To get some health benefits. D.To get complete freedom.

2.What can we infer about weekend recovery sleep from Kenneth Wright?

A.It has the long-term benefits. B.It hides some potential harm.

C.It causes smoking problems. D.It contributes to losing weight.

3.What does the text suggest people do about sleep?

A.Sleep well every day. B.Guarantee weekly sleeping hours.

C.Make up for missing sleep. D.Stop watching TV shows before bed.

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

A.Weekend “Catch-Up Sleep” Is a Lie.

B.Watch out for "Sleep Stealers".

C.Sleep and Smoking are alike.

D.Lack of Sleep Does No Good.

    I have been reading about Leonardo da Vinci for decades, and in 1994 I bought one of the notebooks, in which Leonardo recorded his thoughts and outlined ideas.

What does a Renaissance(文艺复兴) artist have to do with optimism? For me, the connection is innovation. I feel optimistic about the future because I know that advances in human knowledge have improved life for billions of people, and I am confident they will keep doing so. Although I am no art expert, everything I have learned about Leonardo leads me to believe he was one of the most innovative thinkers ever.

Today of course Leonardo is most famous for paintings like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. But in his mind, Leonardo was not primarily a painter. He thought of himself as an engineer first. In a letter to the ruler of Milan listing his strengths, sent in the early 1480s, Leonardo mentioned ten different skills — designing bridges, tunnels, for example — before adding at the end that he could also paint.

Leonardo was a never-ending learner. He studied everything he could see: the flow of water, the way smoke rises through the air, how a bird uses its tongue. And he had insights that were ahead of his time. He was the first person to correctly explain why you can see light between the two points of a crescent moon, the phenomenon we now call earthshine.

Scientific inquiries like these were essential to Leonardo’s art. He was able to give the Mona Lisa that mysterious look on her face because he had studied all the muscles involved in smiling. In The Last Supper, he could make the perspective lines (透视线) work perfectly because he had spent countless hours understanding how our eyes see objects at a distance. By examining his surroundings so closely, Leonardo was able to develop new techniques that advanced his field and described the world in a way no one had ever seen before. In other words, he was an innovator.

1.In what way does Leonardo da Vinci make the author feel optimistic about future?

A.The creativity he represents. B.His famous paintings.

C.The outline of his notebook. D.His engineering achievements.

2.What can we learn about Leonardo da Vinci according to the text?

A.He desires to know more at all times.

B.He is able to raise difficult questions.

C.He has a strong desire for achievement.

D.He is able to learn and understand things fast.

3.What does the last paragraph focus on?

A.Which fields Leonardo was expert in.

B.Why Leonardo is regarded as an innovator.

C.What made the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper stand out.

D.How Leonardo applied scientific theories to his paintings.

4.Which of the following can best summarize Leonardo da Vinci according to the text?

A.Curious about arts. B.Talented in many fields.

C.Determined in science. D.Skilled in paintings.

    When I first catch sight of Greta Thunberg, it is eight in the morning, and a small crowd has already gathered. It is a Friday, her day of protest, and the 16-year-old is standing outside the parliament(议会) building, next to a sign saying “School strike for climate” in Swedish.

This is the 26th week of her protest, which has taken place every Friday since school started last August. Her goal is to bring Sweden in line with the 2016 Paris Agreement, which promises to limit global warming to below 2, compared with pre-industrial levels.

Over the past six months, Greta has rocketed to a level of fame and influence that pretty much nobody, including herself, expected. Her protest was quickly highlighted by the media. Then came a TED talk and an invitation to address last December’s U.N. climate talks in Poland.

While Greta may seem an unlikely climate activist, it was not entirely accidental that she became one. Like many children, Greta watched educational films about the melting Arctic and the fate of the polar bears and the marine mammals bloated (肿胀) with plastic. But unlike other children, she couldn’t let them go. “I became very affected. I began thinking about it all the time.” said Greta.

Greta began researching climate change and has been staying on the topic for six years. She has stopped eating meat and buying anything that isn’t necessary. In 2015, Greta stopped flying on airplanes, and a year later, her mother followed her example, giving up an international performing career. The family has started growing their own vegetables on his own garden outside the city. To meet me in central Stockholm, Greta and her father rode their bikes for about half an hour, although the family has an electric car that they use only when necessary.

1.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A.Industry in Sweden is developing too fast.

B.School climate education remains to be improved.

C.The climate around the world has increased by 2.

D.Sweden should do more to meet the Paris Agreement.

2.Why did Greta become the focus of media attention?

A.She was expected to be famous.

B.She was invited to the TED talk.

C.She skipped school for the protest.

D.She was active in the protest as a child.

3.What makes Greta devoted to climate activities?

A.The educational programs.

B.Her speech at U.N. climate talks.

C.Her great concern about climate change.

D.The protest of “School strike for climate”

4.What happened after Greta became a climate activist?

A.She moved to the countryside.

B.She had an eco-friendly life.

C.She followed her mother’s example.

D.She gave up her work for her research.

The sound of music

The Calgary Folk Music Festival (25-28 July) was born 40 years ago, and has grown from a grassroots event to a celebration that brings together thousands of musicians, artists and fans. The festival is held in Princes Island Park and its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot in the sun while enjoying some quality folk music.

Want to keep the music playing? Head to Studio Bell, where the new National Music Centre hosts regular exhibitions and concerts.

Green city

Though it’s a relatively short drive to the legendary Rocky Mountains, Calgary itself is also filled in greenery.

A comprehensive network of urban pathways offers walkers and cyclists an urban oasis and an eco-friendly way to get around the city’s neighborhoods. Take a slow walk or cycle downtown along the riverside or walk across the futuristic Peace Bridge to explore the urban villageof Kensington. Alternatively, take in the scenic views and sunshine by rafting(乘筏) down the mighty Bow River instead.

From farm to patio

Calgary is home to a farm-to-table scene. Discover the whitewashed brick walls and nose-to-tail philosophy in the Model Milk, while plant-lined ceilings and a vegetable menu await in bright and airy Ten Foot Henry.

Calgarians take their beer as seriously as their steak and it wouldn’t be summer in Calgary without a good patio-hopping session. Start off at 17th Avenue institution The Ship & Anchor, then make your way to Cold Garden. Don't fancy walking? Explore the city’s craft-beer scene by bike with Urban Pedal Tours.

1.What can we learn about the Calgary Folk Music Festival?

A.It lasts three days in July every year.

B.It is a celebration for grassroots musicians.

C.It has a history of less than 40 years

D.It draws more and more folk music lovers.
