Little Etiquette(礼貌）Rules for Flying on an Airplane

Being a polite passenger on an airplane starts with just a few easy steps.

Don’t hold up the security line

1..Have your boarding pass and ID ready as you approach airport security. If you’re waiting in line, start thinking ahead； you can speed up the process by removing your watch and belt, pulling out your laptop，and separating your liquids before you reach the conveyor. This will get you and everyone behind you to the gates faster.

2.

As airlines squeeze in more and more people per flight, passengers fight for the same compartment(隔层）.3.，place your bag vertically (垂直地）rather than horizontally on the shelf. And only put one carry-on bag in the bin； the other one can fit in the open space under the seat in front of you.

Help your fellow traveler

While you’re loading your carry-on bags into the overhead compartment, offer to lift a fellow passenger’s up there，too.4. .

Be willing to swap seats with a family

Airlines sometimes block out certain seats or charge extra fees for adjacent (毗连的） ones，making it tough for family members to buy seats together. If you’re traveling alone, offer to switch seats so that a family can sit beside each other.5.. But be sure to delay  swapping until the plane has reached cruising altitude, as switching seats while everyone is boarding can be an inconvenience for those standing in the walkways.

A. Board and pack politely

B. Fill your limited space

C. If you do，strike up a conversation

D. It’s a kind gesture that they won’t forget

E. Proper flying etiquette begins before you even board the plane F.To maximize room in the overhead compartment for other travelers

G. Not only is it kind, but it could make the boarding process more efficient for everyone else

    Gold is one of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource. It's very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world's biggest buyers of gold jewellery. It's even in our smartphones - they contain parts made from this expensive material.

But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer: outer space.

This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves（引力波）caused by the collision of neutron (中子）stars, reported Xinhua News Agency.

The sight was witnessed at China's Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.

Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided. It's believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.

“The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin Zhiping，a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua.

According to an article published by space.com, scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn't until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.

“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans-Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.”

Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist

Don’t expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking all that time for the event's light to reach Earth.

But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to look at the ring on your mom's finger - or the smartphone in your pocket.

1.What's the author's purpose of writing the first two paragraphs?

A. To emphasize the rareness of gold.

B. To list some uses of gold in daily life.

C. To explain the reasons for the popularity of gold.

D. To interest readers about the source of gold.

2.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to Xinhua?

A. The creation of black holes.

B. The death of the stars.

C. The disappearance of gravitational waves.

D. The creation of gold.

3.What’s the text mainly about?

A. China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station does research into gold.

B. Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold

C. Collisions contribute to the discovery.

D. Gold is considered a valuable and precious rescource.

4.What can we learn from the article?

A. The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small.

B. The collision was the largest reported in history.

C. China played a big role in the new discovery.

D. The collision took place 130 years ago.

    To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you

are—always!

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的）art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said，"Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans. " When we are busy making " other plans" ，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life were dress rehearsal for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future—we won’t have enough money，our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

To combat fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life，some of which actually happened.” I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off.

    I was attending a party onenight given in Sir Ross’s honor; and during the dinner, the man sitting next to me told ahumorous story based on the quotation(引语): “There’s a divinity that shapes ourends, rough-hew them how we will.”

The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. He was wrong. I knewthat, and I knew it positively. There couldn’t be the slightest doubt about it. And so, to get afeeling of importance and display my superiority, I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee of one to correct him. He stuck to his guns. “What? FromShakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! That quotation was from the Bible.” And he knew it.

The storyteller was sitting on my right; and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine,was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare. Sothe storyteller and I agreed to submit the question to Mr. Gammond. Mr. Gammondlistened, kicked me under the table, and then said: “Dale, you are wrong. Thegentleman is right. It is from the Bible.”

On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond: “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.” “Yes, of course,” he replied, “Hamlet, Act Five, Scene Two. But we were guests at a happy time, my dear Dale. Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save his face? He didn’t ask for your advice. He didn’t want it. Why argue with him? Always avoid your sharp angle.” The man who said that taught me a lesson I’ll never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but also had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been had I not become argumentative.

Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right.You can’t win an argument. You can’t because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.

1.What did the author do to get a feeling of importance at the party?

A. Tell a humorous story. B. Show off his rich knowledge.

C. Teach the storyteller a lesson. D. Correct the storyteller’s mistake.

2.Why did Frank Gammond kick the author under the table?

A. Because he was humorous and played tricks on the author.

B. Because he was thoughtful and wanted to stop the author.

C. Because he didn’t know much about the Bible.

D. Because he thought the author was really wrong.

3.How did the author feel about the event that happened at the party?

A. Regretful. B. Thankful.

C. Satisfied. D. Confused.

4.What can be the suitable title for the passage?

A. You Can’t Win an Argument B. You Can’t Make Mistakes in Public

C. Do Have an Open Mind D. Mind Your Manners at a Party

Last weekend, my British friend, Jim, spotted paper-cutting stand when we were wandering on the street. Had never seen paper-cuts, he immediately bought one. Therefore, the seller shook her head at the moment she saw the 100-yuan note Jim handed over to her. She had no changes! How disappointed Jim was! He was about to quit while I took out my cellphone, scan the QR code on the stand and paid five yuan. Jim was very surprising. I explained to her that nowadays we could pay with a cellphone for almost everything. “Wow! ” Jim said, “The paper-cut looks great, and the payment method seems even great!”

    Imagine an area 34 times the size of Manhattan. Now imagine it covered ankle-deep in plastic waste---- a total of about 19 billion pounds of garbage.  1..

“We're being overwhelmed(淹没)by our waste，”said Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer who led the 2015 study that determined this astonishing number. 2., unless something is done to stop the tide of garbage.

Plastic----a widely-used material----has in many ways been a benefit to humans but it has also caused a growing problem. Today, plastics are the No.1 type of garbage found in the sea. Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit that organizes an annual coastal cleanup event worldwide, said plastic waste makes up around 85 percent of the garbage collected from beaches and oceans.

Ocean Conservancy says plastics are believed to threaten(威胁)at least 600 different wildlife species(物种). 3. ; a growing body of evidence suggests humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. A research suggests some plastics could be poisonous to humans, and could potentially increase the risk of health problems.

4.. At the Economist World Ocean Summit this week, ten nations announced to reduce plastic sea liter as part of UN Environment's CleanSeas campaign. 5.Corporations also have a role, as do individuals. We can start by thinking twice before using single-use plastic products----and when we do use them, we should take care to properly throw them off or recycle.

A. The following is what we should do

B. And it's not just wildlife that's threatened

C. And this figure is likely to double by 2025

D. But it's not just countries that need to do their part

E. By 2050,that figure is expected to rise to 1000 pieces

F. That's how much plastic waste ends up in our oceans every year

G. All of us have an important role to play in dealing with the problems

    Skyscrapers are the symbol of Urban life.City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms，on the other hand,are associated with rural(农村的)life.However，there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.

By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest，almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition，the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of  land available for farming will be the same.If current farming practices don't change，we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.

Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.

Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally，vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.

Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day，it wouldn't be enough. For this reason，vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.

Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的)farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer,but the best ideas could be yet to come.

1.What primary problem could vertical farming settle？

A. Poor state of rural life.

B. Shortage of food supply.

C. High cost for transporting crops.

D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings

2.What is the advantage of vertical farming?

A. It can produce organic food.

B. It requires little care.

C. It can benefit transport industry.

D. It needs very low cost.

3.What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?

A. Farmable land. B. Crop diseases

C. Light sources. D. Climate conditions.

4.What can be the best title of the test?

A. Future Food Needs

B. Symbol of Urban Life

C. Farming on Rooftops

D. Farms of the Future

    When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.

Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.

In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.

Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.

Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.

Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.

1.What do we know about quilting？

A. It is a lost traditional craft.

B. It is a major means of making a living in the USA.

C. It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.

D. It was a way to carry on the American history.

2.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

B. Summarize the previous paragraphs

C. Add some background information.

D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.

3.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？

A. Working on the land.

B. Participating in“quilting bees”.

C. Designing a quilting project.

D. Clothing the family.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

A. To instruct how to sew together fabric.

B. To show the author's skills of quilting.

C. To tell about the struggle of women.

D. To appeal for preservation of quilting.

    Ashley Power's mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldn't find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, "If I had my own website, I'd make it a really interesting site for teenagers."

Consequently, when Ashley was sixteen, she started her own website called GooseHead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.

After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The GooseHead Guide to Life.

In her book, Ashley talks about the problems that teenagers have today plus the importance of friendship. She also focuses on being independent. "Learn to love your friends but not rely on them. I did that by creating GooseHead on my own."

Ashley says that The GooseHead Guide to Life is not a book of teenage advice."It isn't a book that's going to tell you what to do. I hope you can work that out yourself," she says."I just want to provide a little inspiration to teenagers. Maybe after reading my story, you' ll start your own website! But perhaps you' ve got a better idea? Well, if I were you, I'd just do it, whatever it is. Maybe it won't work---but maybe it will."
