Can a bowl of chicken soup help fight a cold? Maybe. But will going outside with wet hair make you sick? No. 1. Here are some more. Feed a cold, starve a fever. Being sick often makes you eat less. But force-feeding won't help. What will help is drinking more water and getting enough calories. A 2008 study found that mice having flu took longer to recover and were more likely to suffer ill effects if they were dieting. 2. Vicks VapoRub(薄荷膏) in your socks treats coughs. A widely spread post on line once suggested putting Vicks VapoRub on feet at night and covering them with socks to treat coughs. 3.VapoRub is usually used on a child's chest or throat to reduce cough. So it would not work in your socks. Still, some fans stand by this treatment. 4. Colds and flu are caused by viruses. They do spread during cold-weather seasons, but you're more likely to pick them up inside than out. In fact, going outside and getting more physical activities-and not just during cold and flu season-may help prevent sickness. A wet head can make you sick. You'll probably feel cold if you don't blow your hair dry on a cold day, but not much else will happen. 5. Unless you are so cold that you get a low temperature, which could make you sensitive to flu, wet hair or clothes won't increase your possibility of catching a cold. A.It became an internet popularity. B.You'll get sick if going out without a coat. C.Again, colds are caused by a virus. D.That's just an incorrect traditional belief in cold. E.But you have to actually wear it for the health benefits. F.Experts suggest adding medicines three times a day to your meal. G.The researchers' suggestion is to stop dieting until after flu season.
Earlier research had suggested we're best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It's supposed to be much harder for older kids. The time when people can learn the rules and structure of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18. “But that's not so, ”says psychologist（心理学家）Joshua Hartshorne. Hartshorne asked friends to take an online English grammar test. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived, the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. Hartshorne also asked how long they had lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped, people shared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne's group study the answers from 669, 498 native and non-native speakers of English. The researchers used statistics to find out when people with different English-speaking experiences reached their top grammar ability. If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learned both English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a little worse than people who spoke English only, the researchers found. The test results showed that around age 17, people's ability to learn grammar took a sharp drop. And those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger. Why？The researchers think it's because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at surprise：Language learning did not end at 17. People's English skills kept improving a little until around age 30, the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language. Still, most language learning happened by age 20, the new study decided. 1.What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research？ A.From 17 to 20. B.From 5 to 12. C.Before age 5. D.From 20 to 30. 2.How did Hartshorne get his study statistics？ A.By experimenting in the lab. B.By making an online survey. C.By studying historical records. D.By collecting earlier study results. 3.Which of the following agrees with Hartshorne's study results？ A.Language learning needs much practice. B.Language learning ends at the age of 17. C.The more languages you learn, the better. D.It is best to learn language after 20 years old. 4.What is the best title for the text？ A.How native speakers learn English？ B.What's the best age to learn a language？ C.What's the best way to learn a foreign language？ D.Why non-native speakers can never master a second language？
Churchill, Manitoba is a small town. The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay. It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers. It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight. The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619. That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area. “It was of good taste and did not disagree with us. ”That's what Munk wrote in his journal. Over the years, the animals' coming has earned the town the name of“Polar Bear Capital of the World. ”Today, Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population. There used to be about 7, 000 residents but now only 813 living there. There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980. The town might have been in terrible financial hardships. But the growing bear tourism industry helped. Today, some 10, 000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year. But the reasons why they come are different from before. Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears. Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears, Churchill Bears, are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out. So when the tourists come up, they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear, but they're also looking at a dying-out bear, which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different. Unfortunately, that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well. Come and see the bears before it's too late. 1.What can we learn about Churchill polar bears from the text？ A.They have eaten up the seals in the Hudson Bay. B.They come to Churchill at the same time every year. C.They move to Churchill to escape the northern winds. D.They are so dangerous that most natives left their home. 2.What did Munk report in his journal？ A.They fed many polar bears. B.Polar bears were dangerous. C.They hunted a bear for food. D.They found some seals in the bay. 3.How do polar bears benefit Churchill？ A.They make many people settle down. B.They attract many hunters to come here. C.They bring much tourist income. D.They supply food to locals. 4.What is the main reason why tourists go to Churchill now？ A.To say good-bye to Churchill Bears. B.To help polar bears become happier. C.To take photos with Churchill Bears. D.To stop polar bears going to the town.
“What's your ‘Thing of the Day’？”I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch. ”And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends. But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation. The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone. I thought about the situation all night. I vacillated between meeting the teachers, meeting the parents of the classmates, and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly. I waited until the next day after school. On the car ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation. My son was surprised that I brought it up again. “What？No, it's over, Mom. They're my friends. They were just being stupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you know？We're all good. ” I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life？ 1.How are children's usual answers to the author's daily question？ A.Serious. B.Worrisome. C.Meaningless. D.Detailed. 2.Why was the author sleepless that night？ A.Her son was made fun of unkindly. B.Her son invited his friends to dinner. C.Her son was punished by his teacher. D.Her son lied to her about his mistake. 3.What does the underlined word “vacillate” in paragraph 3 probably mean？ A.Give suggestions. B.Make sense. C.Persuade oneself. D.Be undecided. 4.What did the author learn from the whole story？ A.It is good to forgive and forget. B.It is necessary to watch her son. C.It is difficult to understand children. D.It is surprising for her son to apologize.
World Earth Day is on April 22. It's a day when people around the world work to help the planet, including kids. Here are what four kids have done for the planet. Speaking Out Jaysa Hunter-Mellers, 14, spoke at the City Hall to ask leaders to shut the last coal power station nearby which brought her an asthma（哮喘）attack. She didn't think that people would listen to her, a kid. But the coal power station later said it would close. Jaysa learned to speak to her local government at a young age and now she wants to teach others to speak up too. Helping Butterflies When Aiden Wang was 6, he learned that local butterflies were in trouble because they needed a kind of grass, milkweed, to survive. But milkweed was disappearing. So Aiden started growing milkweed in his house, on which the butterflies lay eggs. Aiden is now 13 and he cares for eggs and lets them go when they turn into butterflies. Doing Good for Gorillas When Addy Barrett was in the first grade, she learnt that the mountain gorillas were in danger. She wanted to protect them and set up a program called Gorilla Heroes. So far, Gorilla Heroes has raised more than $11, 000 to help mountain gorillas. Addy says, “The feeling of having a fine effect on the world is like no other. It feels so good to know that I am making a difference. ” Educating the Youth In the fourth grade, Jeremy Clark and Charlie Abrams saw a picture of the Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）up to her waist in water. It was meant to show what the statue would look like if all the ice in the world is turned into water. In 2019, they started a team called Affected Generation to urge young people to become climate activists. The two also want schools to teach about climate change. 1.Why did Jaysa call on the government to close the coal power station？ A.It made too much noise. B.It caused health problems to her. C.She wanted to set an example for others. D.She wanted to warn government leaders. 2.How does Aiden Wang help butterflies？ A.By collecting their eggs. B.By feeding them on milk. C.By turning eggs into butterflies. D.By planting grass they lay eggs on. 3.Who set up a team to protect the environment？ A.Aiden Wang. B.Addy Barrett. C.Jaysa Hunter-Mellers.

Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions. Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. 1. When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling. Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head 2. If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed. Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser, you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 a.m. and keep on it. 3. Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. 4. Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do to make a better decision next time. 5. For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end. A.Maintain a flexible approach. B.Enjoy the process of making decisions. C.That’s the same as not making a decision at all. D.It always takes a lot of time to make a decision. E.Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen. F.So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it. G.You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.
Kar-go is the invention of the United Kingdom-based Academy of Robotics, which describes it as”Europe's first road-worthy autonomous delivery vehicle".Using AI, this autonomous delivery vehicle offers customers an app---similar to one used when ordering a taxi- allowing them to choose when and where their packages are delivered. Cormpanies like Tesla and Amazon have invested heavily in autonomous vehicles, which have the potential to create a sea of changes in business and society. Resembling something like a green egg on wheels, Kar-go's aim is to reduce the cost of what's known as the "last mile delivery challenge" . This is the final stage of your online package's journey ,from a local warehouse to your front door. Labor costs, paying drivers, the cost of fuel and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicles all contribute to making this the most expensive part of the delivery process. The first part of the package's journey is far cheaper, with high volumes of packages being transported to and from the same location. However, at the other end, drivers deliver smaller shipments to several different locations where the recipient may not even be available to collect. With the latest AI technology, Kar-go will deliver goods safely ,sustainably and in style. The AI vehicle uses special technology to become an expert on its own individual route, learning from past experiences in order to help itself deal with new future obstacles(障碍物)on the road. Kar-go also has its very own internal sorting system, allowing the vehicle transport packages in the correct order for delivery. By 2030，the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders predicts the autonomous market could add $ 62 billion in economic growth in the UK, creating more than 420,000 new jobs. Eletric, self-driving, economic and capable of working 24/7，Kar-go promises to reduce the last mile delivery cost by up to 90%，providing an efficient solution to the rapidly-expanding online retail(零售) market. 1.From the first paragraph we know Kar-go__________. A.is an app used to order a taxi B.is Europe's first autonomous vehicle C.has created great changes in business and society D.transports goods at customers' convenience 2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A.How Kar-go delivers the goods. B.What challenges Kar-go may face. C.How the drivers reduce delivery cost. D.Why the last mile delivery is expensive. 3.What is the advantage of the AI technology used by Kar-go? A.It has an advanced internal sorting system. B.It enables vehicles to work more efficiently. C.It makes a driver become an expert in traffic. D.It helps people clean new obstacle on the road. 4.What influence does Kar-go have on the UK? A.It will create over 420 0000 jobs for drivers. B.It will reduce the delivery cost by up to 90%” C.It may contribute to the growth of online business. D.It may make the UK lead in the autonomous market.
We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours-about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day-at our computers, smartphones,tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light. Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why blue-light-blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work? “Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology,told Business Insider. Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, blue-light-blocking glasses are probably of little use. 1.What do we know about blue light? A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation. B.It has the shortest wavelength. C.It may come from electronic devices. D.It consumes a great deal of energy. 2.What causes the popularity of blue-light-blocking glasses? A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes. B.Belief in blue light's harmful effect. C.Widespread use of smart devices. D.Scientific understanding of blue light. 3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable. B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with. C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes. D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained. 4.According to the text, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses may be________. A.tiring B.harmful C.useless D.beneficial
On the night of August 24, 2001, my last night of freedom before my freshman of high school started, everything changed when my friend's car hit a guardrail(护栏) with me inside. I lost most of my right leg. At the hospital, I just kept telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I made a deal with the hospital staff that once I could roll onto my side, I could be discharged. I am proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest. In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant Organization's Behind Every Leader event. During the conference, a sweet lady by the name of Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not wear a prosthesis(假肢). My short and simple answer was, "I don't have sixty thousand dollars." The next morning I was in tears as I learned that Alisson, Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline, and a dozen other people, had bought a prosthesis for me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me. For a year I adjusted to the leg and settled into everyday life, until one day I realized I was making a life but not living one. After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I was empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have them experience this unbelievable feeling for themselves. In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a poster at her favourite clothing store and say, "Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability." 1.What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2? A.She was humorous and outgoing. B.She was determined and optimistic. C.She was intelligent and hardworking. D.She was generous and kind-hearted. 2.Why was the author's life changed forever in 2013? A.She attended an important conference. B.She met some famous people. C.She joined an organization. D.She got a precious gift. 3.How will the author help those around her? A.By inspiring them. B.By entertaining them. C.By doing voluntary work. D.By offering financial support. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A.An Expensive Gift from Strangers B.How I Survived A Terrible Accident C.I Lost a Leg but Gained a Purpose D.Stay Strong in the Face of Disability
