Released on 6 Aug． 2010，Flipped is arguably my favorite US film． It told the heartwarming story of a boy named Bryce or a girl named Juli． It's hard to imagine that two teenagers， who in others' eye might not know about love， actually have so a pure and beautiful love． Besides， the film is not only about puppy love． It also tells us about dreams， respect， self﹣esteem and the important of working hard． Julies attitude towards the life is also worth appreciating． She has characteristics many of us gradually lose with we grow up． The film successful creates a warm atmosphere for audiences longing love and happiness． I hope you will enjoy the movie as many as I do．

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took out full﹣page ads in British and American newspapers on 21 March 2018 to apologize for a "breach of trust" in the Cambridge Analytical scandal， admitting the quiz app built by a university researcher that leaked Facebook data of millions of people in 2014 was a "breach of trust"．

Since the scandal of Big Data broke， the public has become more aware and concerned about that their online behavior may be used for purposes to which they have not agreed． It contributes to the urgent need for better protection of personal information．

In China， apps enabling users to steal private information from Wi﹣Fi providers are generating serious privacy concerns．

An app can break home Wi﹣Fi， cryptographic Wi﹣Fi at commercial locations and even the Wi﹣Fi being used in China's foreign ministry building， according to a CCTV report． With the help of the app， the CCTV reporter entered the ministry's network．

Almost 100，000 Chinese users ranked Wi﹣Fi Master Key app 4.5 out of 5 at the Apple store for convenience． But the app secretly stores Wi﹣Fi information and serves like a mobile spy between users， a show reported． It lets users access everything that links with the Wi﹣Fi such as a provider，s Wechat contact information and phone numbers．

At the China Development Forum， Li Yanhong， CEO of domestic Internet services giant Baidu Inc．，said that many Chinese users are willing to trade privacy for convenience． Li′s remarks aroused heated debates on social networks， as there is too much convenience and too little privacy．

It's an age of Big Data． It′s an age when privacy is under threat． The users are in an inferior position compared with the companies， but the law should not allow an unlimited trade of privacy for convenience． A simple click on "I agree，' should not be considered an excuse for the service providers to collect， use， and store users' data， which must be better protected by the law．

A. Risk of trust

B. Report of trust．

We humans are a curious species． As NASA says on its website，"Humans are driven to explore the unknown， discover new worlds， push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits，and then push further． "

And space exploration is where we\e been "pushing" our furthest curiosity．

The year 2019 began with two pieces of exciting space exploration news． On Jan． 3， China landed a spacecraft，Chang′e 4，on the moon's far side﹣the side we can′t see from Earth﹣for the first time in human history． And according to a report published on Jan． 9 in Nature， scientists from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment （CHIME） detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away， possibly sent by intelligent aliens．

However， what，s even more exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking of space exploration， we forget our political and cultural differences﹣the things that so obsess us．

"When you go into space， you become part of this overall collective （集体）called ‘humanity， Ken Liu， Chinese﹣American sci﹣fi writer and translator，told Quartz website． "You′re no longer Chinese， American， Russian …Your culture is left behind． You're now just ‘humanity' with a capital ‘H'． "

This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space． When US astronaut Neil Armstrong （1930﹣2012）became the first human to set foot on the moon in 1969， for example，he told the world： "That's one small step for man， one giant leap for mankind， "Now， with Chang'e 4 touching down on new moon territory， China′s aim is to help scientists from around the world find out more about Earth's only satellite． And with the discovery of the CHIME astronomers， we ' re one step closer to answering a common question in science： "Are humans alone in the universe？"

It's true that we are a curious species． But instead of being curious about the "unknown"， perhaps we're really more eager to "push further" our own human "boundaries" and "limits"．

1.Which of the following is the discovery of the CHIME scientists？

A. A galaxy with intelligent aliens．

B. Repeated radio signals sent by intelligent aliens．

C. Repeated radio signals from a distant galaxy．

D. Radio signals from a galaxy several years ago．

2.Why does the author quote Ken Liu's words ？

A. To introduce the famous writer， Ken Liu．

B. To show that in space we are just humanity．

C. To emphasize that culture is not important．

D. To introduce the things that obsess us very much．

3.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 6？

A. Further confirm his opinion．

B. Add some background information．

C. Summarize the previous paragraphs．

D. Introduce a new topic for discussion．

4.What's the main idea of the text？

A. China takes the lead in space exploration．

B. Humans are not alone in the universe．

C. Space exploration is a common cause of mankind，

D. Humans desire to push the boundaries of scientific limits．

A tsunami （海啸）was coming when we landed in Tokyo． Not a natural tsunami， but a family one． My husband， my two stepkids and I arrived tired by our lack of sleep on the flight， and my stepdaughter and I were still not speaking after an argument from the day before． To add to our troubles， a public holiday meant there was nowhere open for breakfast． There we were， together 24/7 for the next two weeks．

My stepson， 11 years old and always attached to his iPhone is shy． Meanwhile， my 14﹣year﹣old stepdaughter never says thank you．

Yet， over the course of the holiday， the kids found their rhythm．

On our last night in Tokyo， we found our way to a local restaurant． Sitting at a small corner table， surrounded by locals after a hard day？s work》 we enjoyed some beautiful Japanese food． Finally， after 10 long days of trying to find a rhythm that suited us all， we talked．

For once， bonding replaced eye﹣rolling and， instead of the usual one﹣word reports after a day at school， our conversation was filled with warmth and love as we shared our favorite vacation experiences．

There was the moment when my stepson joined locals as they washed their hands and faces at a well，to cleanse themselves before burning incense （焚香）at a temple．Or the time when my stepdaughter chased deer in a park so she could feed them． And the time when we walked through a maze of market stalls and laneways to find what we thought was a simple noodle restaurant， only to be greeted by a charming garden filled with locals sharing a meal．

As we walked away from our dinner， darkness fell． The stone lanterns gradually came to life，and I whispered，for the first time in a long time，"Thank you， "

Winter is often bitterly cold, which often makes us stay indoors more instead of heading out to exercise. Worse still, there are many viruses doing their best to make you sick. And sneezing, coughing and nose blowing make the rooms a habitat for viruses. 1.. Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick. Although it may sound terrible, there are still some things you can do to avoid viruses. Here are several simple tips to stay healthy in winters.

Wash your hands

You pick up viruses everywhere and they live on your hands, so wash your hands and do it often. 2. But if that’s not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (消毒杀菌剂).

3.. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands. That’s one way viruses can get into your body.

Get the flu shot (疫苗)

4., but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu. For example, getting the flu shot last year resulted in a 34% lower risk of coming down with the flu.

Avoid sick people

5.. Viruses spread very easily through the air, so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing, sniffling and coughing person.

A. It’s no guarantee

B. Take care of your face

C. Keep your hands away from your face

D. The best way is to use regular soap and water

E. It is easy for viruses to spread from person to person

F. If someone around you is sick, then keep your distance

G. Because there are always some unexpected things in life

A scientist locked himself in a small air-tight plastic tent with 200 plants to see if they could change CO2 into oxygen (氧气) fast enough to keep him alive.

Kurtis Baute locked himself in a 3m by 3m tent in his brother’s backyard in British Columbia, Canada. He hoped to find out if by surrounding himself with plants, the CO2 he breathed out could be changed into oxygen to allow him to survive in the locked tent for at least three days. Unfortunately, he had to give up the experiment after only 15 hours, as CO2 levels reached a dangerous point where he risked suffering brain damage.

“I could probably survive in the tent for three days,” Baute wrote on his website. “But my goal is not to just ‘not die’. My goal is to end this project without developing brain damage or just generally causing lasting harm to my body. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what he risked as the 200 plants he took with him into the tent couldn’t meet his needs. Clearly, a cloudy sky prevented them from receiving all the sunlight they needed to perform photosynthesis (光合作用), so they couldn’t recycle CO2 fast enough.

“Plants are great at taking in CO2 and they love it. Since it wasn’t a bright and sunny day, they weren’t getting the light they needed, which meant CO2 just kept rising. I had to give up the experiment as that continued.” the young experimenter said.

15 hours into the experiment, Baute reached the set danger point and then ended this experiment. Still, he called the experiment a “huge success” as his main goal was actually the terrible effects of climate change and CO2 emissions. “The conclusion about my experiment is that if CO2 is too high, I’ll escape, which is just everyday experiences for many people on this planet. Everyone deserves clean air, but not everyone has it,” he wrote.

1.Why did Kurtis Baute stay in the tent for only 15 hours?

A. The tent is too small for him to stay too long.

B. The environment in the tent is dangerous for him.

C. CO2 in the tent couldn’t be changed into oxygen.

D. He couldn’t survive in the locked tent any longer.

2.What made it hard for the 200 plants to satisfy Kurtis Baute’s needs?

A. His health condition. B. His wrong decision.

C. Too much CO2. D. The cloudy weather.

3.What does Kurtis think of the result of the experiment?

A. Disappointing. B. Surprising.

C. Satisfying. D. Interesting.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. A test to show the importance of clean air

B. Surviving in the tent

C. The set danger point

D. Making people know the use of plants

After a five-year pause, the Billboard Music Awards officially returned to the United States. Two of the big winners at this year’s awards were Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But a major symbol of the show’s popularity came from others such as Beyonce, U2, the Black Eyed Peas, and First Lady Michelle Obama.

This year marks the Billboard Awards’ rebirth. The Billboard Awards had been a big event since 1989, but the award in 2006 seemed to be its last award.

This year the show was brought back in Las Vegas, broadcast live on ABC, and hosted by “The Hangover 2” star Ken Jeong. However, like many other awards shows, the three-hour awarding ceremony served more as a marketing tool for today’s pop stars than an award presentation.

The show was packed with fans. Cee-Lo Green floated in the air with his piano. Surprising duets (二重唱) between Rihanna and Britney Spears, and this year’s Billboard Icon Award winner, Neil Diamond made the fans sing along to “Sweet Caroline” and “America”.

Rihanna’s two wins were Radio Artist of the Year and Top Female Artist. Taylor Swift won the evening’s first award, as Top Album Artist, as well as Top Country Artist

Beyonce received a special “Millennium” Award for her career achievements: The 29-year-old star was praised in a video by a series of other stars, including Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama. She also performed her new song, “Run the World”.

The Billboard Music Awards are given to the most popular artists in the mainstream music scene. The finalists and winners are determined by their rank on the Billboard charts.

1.When was The Billboard Music Awards first held?

A. In 1989. B. In 2006.

Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe production for over half a century.

Since 1928, they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup football heroes, Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world. But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany.

Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport hut complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in. So they started making their own. In 1920, Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes (钉状物), produced on the Dasslers’s kitchen table.

On 1st July 1924, they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years. The company became successful, but in 1948, the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened. The result was that Adolph left the company. His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas. Rudolph also founded and relocated his own company across the River Aurach. At first he wanted to call it Ruda, but finally he called it Puma.

After the big split of 1948, Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years. Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called My Adidas and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company.

The terrible family argument should really be forgotten. Ever since it happened, over sixty years ago, the town has been divided into two. Even now, some Adidas employees and Puma employees don’t talk to each other.
