Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we’re alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there’ s life out there has been something humankind ’s been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.

The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter（周长）of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST’s designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. “Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel （关联的） robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1 mm,” Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope’s panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.

FAST’s engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. “There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST’ s construction, told Xinhua.

And although it wasn’t yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars （脉冲星） have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.

1.What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the new giant telescope.

B.To explain why there is life in universe.

C.To remind readers to think about the life in space.

D.To emphasize the question that should be answered.

2.What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A.The telescope is made up of many panels.

B.The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.

C.The engineer can handle FAST’s position accurately.

D.The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.

3.Why was FAST built in Guizhou?

A.Because Guizhou is a remote province.

B.Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.

C.Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.

D.Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.

4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.FAST’s timeline. B.FAST’s future.

C.FAST’s operation. D.FAST’s discoveries.

    I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!

I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.

Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.

The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!

I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.

But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!

I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.

1.“Loserville” is a section for ________.

A. failures B. good students

C. class secrets D. newcomers

2.The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.

A. Ana didn’t text back to her B. her friends hurt her feelings

C. she was unfairly treated D. she was a good student

3.What made a difference in changing the situation?

A. She went back to Illinois.

B. She ended friendship with Ana.

C. She fought back with her classmates.

D. She began to make friends with others.

4.The best title for the passage can be ________.

A. Lasting Friendship B. An Incidence at School

C. Say Goodbye to “Loserville” D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”

    Yellowstone National Park is the flagship of the National Park Service and a favorite to millions of visitors each year. The park is a major destination for all members of the family.

Simple ways to improve your written English

Many people think it is really difficult to improve (提高) their writing in English. Don’t worry, though. Here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English.

● Increase your vocabulary.

To express yourself clearly, you need a good active vocabulary. That’s not just being able to know lots of words — it means actually being able to use them correctly. 1.

Tip: When you learn a new word, try to learn all the forms of that word.

● 2.

People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly.

Tip: 3. Learning shouldn’t be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.

● Improve your grammar.

Grammar is very important because it improves the quality (质量) of your writing.

Tip: 4. The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.

● Just do it!

The best way to improve your writing is to get a pen and paper and write. Be prepared to write several versions (版本) of each text. 5.

A. Know your readers.

B. Read widely and often.

C. Always check your writing twice.

D. Remember, practice makes perfect!

E. Choose books or articles that interest you.

F. Use simpler language and shorter sentences to show your ideas.

G. Do this by learning new words with example sentences, not just word lists.

    There is an English saying: “Laughter is best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的) effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.

1.The main idea of the passage is ________.

A.laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.

B.smile can produce the same effects as laughter

C.pain can be reduced by laughter

D.laughter is best medicine

2.The underlined word “diminish” is similar to ________.

A.test B.stop C.reduce D.increase

3.Doctors hold laughter clinics ________.

A.to give better condition to their patients

B.in order to improve patients’ health

C.to make patients smile all the time

D.to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

    My challenge for you is this： to read a book for 15minutes every single day for a month.

Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn't one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can't read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He's busy, so I think sitting down to read for just 15minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading.

My dad is not the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen﹣based activities don't have.

Firstly, it's better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night's sleep．

One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world﹣I often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better．

I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's point of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling﹣you really can be inside someone else's head!

So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!

    There are a number of reasons that can be given as to why children should be taught swimming at a young age. If your child knows the basic swimming skills, you can be at peace when your child is near the water. If you are in the process of teaching your child how to swim, then here are some points that you should keep in mind.

♦ Help your child pick a bathing suit. If you child wants to wear bathing suit and get wet then it is certain that your child will be able to handle the water.

♦ If the pool has steps, then it is great. Start from these to help your child gain some confidence. You should make sure that there is one place in the pool where your child can be left safely.

♦ The best way to teach your children to swim is to make them join swimming classes. In this way, you will be at peace because there is a professional trainer around your children who can teach them all the tricks of swimming. You can join in the parent-child lessons to make your child feel comfortable. If your child is a bit older, then get permission and sit by the pool to watch him/her learn. When you get your child admitted to swimming classes, make sure that the lessons go according to the swimming goals that you have set for your child.

Swimming is a fun activity and you can make it easy for your children to understand and coordinate(协调)the movements of their arms and legs will take some time. But, with regular practice and training this can be overcome. So, start with the basics and be around your children when they are learning how to swim. Once they know how to swim, then you can be at peace when they play around the water.

In 1961, Mrs Stoudt and her sister were walking with their children along a strait in Washington D．C．when they saw something like a tree branch in the water．As the object moved closer to them, they saw a creature, which had a snake -like head and 3 humps（峰）．They said it looked like some sort of dinosaur．Then it moved even closer to them．Its frightening look made one of Mrs Stoudt’s children cry．

On December 12, 1964, French photographer Robert Serrec was having a holiday in Queensland, Australia．He was out off the coast in small boats with his family and friends．Suddenly, they noticed a creature, about 75-80 feet long．They described it as a tadpole-like（像蝌蚪的）creature with a snake-like head．They took pictures of the creature before it swam off．

    China's bike-sharing has exploded from nothing about a year ago into a transport phenomenon in major cities. Just by scanning the QR code（二维码）that appears behind the seat,one can unlock a shared bicycle.Once the service has finished,the user blocks the bike and the total is charged to his mobile account.The process lasts less than 30 seconds and costs no more than one penny.By the way,there are still no fixed places to find or leave a bike,although areas such as university campus,and metro or bus station are preferred.

Many young people believe shared bicycles have many advantages.They are not expensive to rent,they do not have to be protected from thieves,and there is no need to repair them.You just have to change them for another one. They are also environment friendly and lower the use of cars,which also helps to relieve traffic.In fact,it is considered an awesome combination of technology and tradition.

Since they appeared,shared bicycles have raised a lot of dust.There is no doubt of the benefits but the disadvantages cannot be ignored.Many problems related to shared bicycles have emerged.It is due to bad behavior from some users who always want to seize the bicycles,but also because of the mess that has been created since one can leave the bicycle anywhere,which is against public urban order management.There are so many poorly parked bikes that sometimes they end up blocking streets.

In Xi Luoyuan,Beijing,the "Civilized Use of Bicycles" campaign has been launched.In addition to having 40 officially permitted stops,there are also clear signals to lead users to these stops.A team of supervisors keep order in the area.This is the first area that is part of an official system to manage bicycles.The purpose of this campaign is to solve the mess that the popularity of shared bicycles is causing in Beijing,both with the participation of companies and the users.If the pilot plan works out well in Xi Luoyuan,it will be extended to all of the cities in China.

    A mother in Northern Ireland was surprised when her son managed to greet her with a tiny "hello" at just 7 weeks old. Toni McCann said her son Cillian, now 9 weeks, has said "hello" twice. The infant（婴儿） appeared to try and unsuccessfully imitate his mother before finally managing a quick "hello" for the first time.

"He was making a lot of eye contact and that's why I started filming him, "she said. " I realized he was trying to copy what I was saying and then it just came out. "McCann said she first noticed Cillian trying to mimic（模仿）sounds at just 5 weeks old when her husband was holding him.

"This is a perfect example of modeling behaviour, Mum is coaching him to do what she's doing, "said Murray. " It's an important example of what we want all mothers to do with their baby. "

Murray said Cillian's first word is likely not the same as a l to 2-year-old's first word, where they have attached the word to some meaning.

"They don't have muscle coordination（协调, 配合）of the mouth, "Murray said of newborn infants. "It's usually a process of both learning what words mean by hearing them and by seeing mum and by trying to imitate mum over and over again. "

Murray said new mums should talk to their babies, even if the infants can't say full words yet. She also recommended letting babies "talk back" in the conversation, even if they don't have full words yet. While the video of Cillian saying hello has gone popular, McCann said she has already moved on to a new phrase for the baby. "Now I'm saying to him' I love you'. " she added.
