Last Saturday, some of my friends and I went to a park for a walk. I saw a elderly woman collecting rubbish throw by people. She obviously had some difficulty collect some small things. Suddenly, I came up with an idea. Why not asked my friends to help her collect rubbish? Much to their surprise, all my friends agreed and were willing help. So we worked hard together with her and collected much rubbish. At the end of this activity, and we said goodbye to her. Felt tired, I was really happily. I really think we'll have a beautiful society if all people help each other. How a meaningful day!

Why do Chinese like drinking hot water?

In Western countries, drinking hot water isn't common. 1.

2..A British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years, visited  local cafe during his trip in England. He said to a friendly waitress in a classy British accent, “Can I have a glass of hot water, please?” The waitress' eyes widened. She was so confused. “To...to...to drink?” she replied. Eventually, the man received the steaming liquid but felt cold stares from every corner of the cafe. Westerners are as curious about why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are curious about why Westerners drink cold water.

This cultural difference is not a simple issue, but related to history, culture, and science. When did Chinese start to drink hot water?3.. Archaeologists found pottery dating to 20,000 years ago. They believe the pottery was used to cook food and heat water.

Drinking hot water is considered to be healthier among Chinese people.4. Bodies’ normal temperature is 37℃, which keeps the smooth flow of blood cycle and the regular operation of the body's organs. Cold water has the effect of slowing.

5.If the body is too weak to warm up, some syndromes（症状）may present themselves, like cold hands and feet, Raynaud's phenomenon(the fingers turning white after exposure to low temperature or emotional events),a weak desire to eat food, poor digestion or body pain.

A. The answer lies in history.

B. There is a story online.

C. It is easy to provide an accurate answer.

D. Westerners often drink with ice almost every day.

E. Drinking cold water leads to an imbalance of temperature inside a body.

F. Hot water was reserved for the pregnant women, the elderly and the sick.

G. When drinking cold water, you will consume more energy to warm up.

    Scientists have recently discovered a major habitat where live more than 1.5 million Adelie penguins(企鹅）near the Antarctic Peninsula. Based on direct ground counts and computer counts, the researchers found a total of 751,527 pairs of Adelie penguins on the Danger Islands in the Weddell Sea on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Adelie penguins discovered here is more than the rest in the other places of Antarctic Peninsula, which was published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Moreover, the number represents the first complete census of Adelie penguins in the Danger Islands, the researchers added. “Until recently, the Danger Islands wasn't known to be an important penguin habitat.” Heather Lynch, an ecologist from Stony Brook University who led the study, said, “These super habitats have gone undiscovered for decades partly because the islands themselves are distant and the dangerous waters that surround them.” The Danger Islands appears to have avoided recent loss in penguin population documented on other parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Another study published earlier suggested that more than 70 percent of king penguins may disappear by the end of the century as a result of global warming and overfishing. As the Danger Islands is likely to remain important islands for many penguins under climate change, scientists believe it deserves special consideration in the design of Marine Protected Areas in this area. “Now that we know how important this area is for penguin, we can better move forward designing Marine Protected Areas and managing the fishery,” said Lynch.

The idea of building the Marine Protected Areas, which covers 1.8 million square km of the Weddell Sea and around the Antarctic Peninsula, was first put forward by the European Union and supported by nongovernmental organization Greenpeace. In January, a global campaign has been started in the vast fishing-free zone to better protect wildlife.

1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A. Researchers knew the number of penguins only by computers.

B. There are 751,527 pairs of penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula.

C. Researcher may have never been to the Antarctic Peninsula.

D. The Danger Islands may be fit for penguins to live on.

2.What does the underlined word “census” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Population count. B. Living condition.

C. Birth. D. Desert.

3.Why are there many penguins on the Danger Islands?

A. The Danger Islands is unknown for humans.

B. There is little climate change there.

C. Many people are protecting penguins.

D. The Danger Islands is free from being disturbed by humans.

4.What can we know from what Lynch said?

A. Half of king penguins will die out in the future.

B. The Antarctic Peninsula needn't become Protected Areas.

C. Because the Danger Islands is dangerous, it becomes a super habitat.

D. The number of penguins discovered here is the largest in the Antarctic Peninsula.

    Something makes your throat strange. It night be a piece of dust or some food that went down your breathing tube by mistake or mucus(黏液）that dropped down from your nose. You cough.

Sometimes you cough on purpose because you want to clear your throat. Other times you don't have to cough. Cough are useful. They clear your main breathing tube, the same way you clear a straw when you blow through it.

If you have mucus or dust or food in your throat, a cough will help to clear it out. But if you have an infection, a cough won't make it go away. That's why, sometimes, you keep coughing. If you do a lot of coughing, your stomach and chest muscles might ache from extra exercise.

Every cough happens in the same way: Firstly, you take a breath so that you have air in your lungs. Secondly, you close your throat and tighten up some of the muscles in your chest, getting them ready for the big push.

Coughs make an exploding sound because of the air that is pushed out of your lungs through closed lips in the back of your throat. These vocal cords(声带)are forced open by the air causing the explosion that we call a cough. They are the same vocal cords that make the noise when you sing or talk; you sound like you because of your vocal cords.

You can tell who is talking by the sound of a person's voice, but it's hard to tell who is coughing by the sound of the cough. People with high voices sometimes have low coughs. People with low voices sometimes have high coughs. That's because the sound of a cough depends upon how much air is blown out and whether or not the vocal cords are swollen from an infection.

1.What is the first step of a cough?

A. Sending out air. B. Breathing in air.

C. Opening the mouth. D. Closing your throat.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A. Coughs are bad for one's health.

B. Coughs can cure an infection.

C. A lot of coughs can make your chest muscles ache.

D. People with high voices always have high coughs.

3.What is the main function of cough?

A. Clearing your throat. B. Cleaning your nose.

C. Preparing for singing a song. D. Making an exploding sound.

4.What makes the sound of a cough different?

A. Throat. B. Breathing tubes.

C. The amount of air blown out. D. The voices of people.

    I am Duncan Bannatyne. I am a successful businessman with a chain of health clubs and hotels.I also appears on the BBC series Dragons Den,where I judge new business ideas. The only thing I enjoyed at school was maths. I had the ability to add up, but my maths teacher didn't have much time for me because I couldn't write down how I got the answers. I hated things like English-I slightly had difficulty in reading. I was hopeless at sport, too. I could see that the kids who went to high school had better toys than me so I made up my mind to do as well as I could, so that I could pass the exam and get into the best school. I worked very hard, and then I made it. I was the only one in the family who did, so my parents were so proud of me.

I started delivering newspapers when my mother said I couldn't have an ice cream because we were too poor. When I went to the newsagent's (报纸杂志店)，the owner told me that there was no need for a delivery boy. I said that my mother would like her paper delivered. But he told me, “That's one person. I need 100.”At last, I knocked on 150 doors. When the ice cream van(箱式货车)came around again, I had enough money to buy ice creams for my whole family.

When I left school, I didn't use my business skills for fifteen years. I was in the Navy and then worked as a garage mechanic. It was always in my mind, though. When I was twenty nine, I was on a beach in the Channel Islands with my girlfriend and we decided to go back to the mainland and make money. Believe it or not, my first company was Duncan's Super Ices which expanded from a single ice cream van to a large group of ice cream vans.

1.What can we know about Duncan from paragraph 1?

A. He did well in reading.

B. He was good at maths and sport.

C. He was admitted to the best high school.

D. His parents were not satisfied with his performance.

A. To buy ice creams.

B. To set up his first company.

C. To get some working experience.

D. To improve his calculating skills.

3.What made Duncan try his best to study at school?

A. Wanting ice creams. B. Wanting better toys.

C. Helping his mother. D. Making money.

4.What can we learn from the text?

    Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, ______ I know a lot of history. So we thought we’d be good ______ for the team.

A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the ______ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). ______ , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a ______ among all the students present and the top ______ scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a ______ way to decide.

Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to _____ the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the ______. After a couple of hours, all the ______on the team were set except one. Carla and I ______ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition ______ the two of us.

    We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is one way to help. 1.

Use It Up.

You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze (挤) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. 2. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.

Wear It Out.

You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers (运动鞋) have broken laces (鞋带) , but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. 3.

Make It Do.

When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. 4.

5.

Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world’s resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

A. Do without it.

B. Throw it away.

C. What exactly does that mean?

D. Do you know what to consume?

E. Use the last little piece of soap.

F. With a little thought, you can make something do.

G. Think twice before replacing something that still works.

Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on the Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.

School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).

Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nurnberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”

Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.

However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they tell their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”

1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To give the main idea. B. To raise a question.

C. To compare an example. D. To lead in the topic.

2.Who can understand the Netspeak in England?

A. Middle school teachers. B. Parents.

C. Linguistics. D. Teenagers.

3.Who believes Netspeak users can help improve writing?

A. Cynthia McVey B. David Crystal

C. Geoffrey Nurnberg D. James Milroy

4.What’s James Milroy’s attitude toward Netspeak?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Worried.

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Netspeak: the Language on the Internet

B. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

C. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

    When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

1.The passage mainly tells us the ________ of doodling.

A. advantages B. disadvantages

C. effects D. problems

2.What does the underlined word “perspective” probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A. 体验 B. 观点

C. 困扰 D. 机会

3.How does Sunni Brown feel about doodling?

A. It helps remember better. B. It helps think creatively.

C. It involves four ways of learning. D. It needs drawing skills.

4.According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when ________.

A. you want to focus your attention. B. you have a conversation.

C. you wonder in the park. D. you watch a movie.

5.Where is the passage possibly taken from?

A. A book review. B. A message board.

C. A student textbook. D. A science magazine.

1.When you take Reading in the Digital Age, you will ________.

A. walk into different people’s life B. learn ways of understanding texts

C. get better at computer skills D. share opinions with literary scholars

2.Who will help students better understand the themes of Shakespeare’s plays?

A. Actors. B. Scholars.

    When we were kids, if our parents wanted us to stop the screen time, they would turn off the TV. 1. They grab the cell phone, the tablet or the laptop. Here we will talk about how to control their screen time.

First, limit the time they use screens. 2. Kids are smart. Once you go back to your daily routine, they will quickly be back on a screen. Because they just don’t understand that when you tell them to get off the tablet or computer, you mean for the rest of the day.

3. It can be going outside to play, reading a fun book or cleaning their room. Presenting them with an alternative helps the under-developed planning part of their little brains get past what they can’t do and see what else is possible.

And third, hide the screen device. That one may not seem very fair. 4. If they don’t see the device around the house, they can’t grab it. This way, works for us adult-types who may be a little too addicted to screens ourselves.

Ultimately, the best way to help kids recognize how much is too much screen time is to limit our own. Yeah, you may have to stare at one all day for your job, but do you really have to come home and immediately turn on the TV or answer that email on your phone? Don’t think your kids aren’t taking excuses from your actions. 5.

A. Second, give them an alternative.

B. So, it’s necessary to set a limited time.

C. It may seem easy, but it can be challenging.

D. Now, kids often have a choice of which screen they want.

E. They watch you just as closely as they watch those screens.

F. Now go to find a screen and turn it off, for you and for your kids.

G. But the phrase “out of sight, out of mind” actually works sometimes.

    Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.

Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted (植入) in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.

Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar, to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004，so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.

In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”
