I’m writing to tell you something about the discussion on if it is necessary for senior one student to take the one-week military training. Students’ views on it varies from person to person.
Some held that it is necessary. On one hand, it can improve students’ teamwork spirit, who will play an important part in their life and study. On the other hand, it is no doubt that they become stronger physically and mentally through the training.
Besides, the others have opposite views. They think it is waste of time. Meanwhile, students get burnt easy without any protection in the sun.
As far as I’m concerned about, though we may feel tired during the training, it goes without saying that the one-week military training is meaningful.

Remarkable Ways to Push Yourself Harder
Deep inside us, we know that hard work is the key to success. 1. Here are the rules that you can also apply to make yourself work really hard.
Practice working hard.
2. Therefore, if you want to be a hard worker, you must practice working hard. Practice waking up early, practice doing a lot of work, and practice working more hours. One day you will wake up and realize that you are a hard worker.
3.
Many hard workers always have a large purpose that forces them to work. Don’t just think of buying a car or a big house because this is not a purpose strong enough to push you forward. An example of a big purpose is deciding that you are working hard so that you bring change in the lives of your friends, family, and neighborhood. A strong purpose always involves bringing a large positive change in any particular setting.
Surround yourself with hard workers.
4. But if you surround yourself with hardworking people, you will find yourself working hard towards your goal. Avoid friends who just want to have fun all the time. This type of friends will always discourage you when you attempt to work hard. Therefore, always surround yourself with go-getters.
Read and watch inspirational materials.
You can also push yourself harder through reading and watching inspirational material.
5. These materials make you work hard because they remove discouragement and assure you that you will never fail if you push yourself to the limit.
A.Have a strong purpose.
B.Find a great goal to overcome your laziness.
C.Like other skills, one has to practice it to perfect it.
D.Inspirational material makes you believe in yourself.
E.However, we always find it difficult to push ourselves harder.
F.Motivational books and videos encourage you to work harder.
G.If you surround yourself with lazy people, you will also be lazy.
Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you've been there without even knowing it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas： the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago.
This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover piece, which was covered in lava (岩 浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely won’t be the last discovery.
1.How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A.They found it accidentally.
B.They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C.They discovered it after years of seaching.
D.They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
2.What do we know about Greater Adria?
A.It is hidden under the sea level.
B.It is much smaller than Greenland.
C.It has existed for about 240 million years.
D.It has been known to many tourists before.
3.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B.To show some other lost continents have been found.
C.To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D.To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Atlantis Discovered Finally
B.Undersea World Explored
C.A Hidden Mountain Undiscovered
D.A Lost Continent Found Under Europe
Would you give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if you’re like most people, you wouldn’t hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.
Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.
Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal information—from contact lists to bank card numbers, all information that hackers (黑客) would love to get their hands on.
A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed in an experiment what he could obtain using only a person’s cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieu’s location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.
Still think it’s a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?
It’s safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, but even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检码) via your cellphone. Let’s say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. You’ve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.
1.What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Why people need to take care of their cellphone numbers.
B.Why people seldom change their cellphone numbers.
C.How to protect our personal information.
D.How to get rid of spammers.
3.What did Karsten Nohl’s experiment intend to prove?
A.Nohl is a real expert in hacking.
B.It’s necessary to fight against hackers.
C.Lieu’s new cellphone has powerful functions.
D.Hacking information via cellphone numbers is not hard.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.It’s a good idea to sell something online.
B.It’s risky to post your cellphone numbers online.
C.It’s necessary to register several accounts online.
D.It’s common for people to forget their passwords.
