As it is known to all, it is interesting to visit another country, but sometimes there are some problem when we don’t know the language very well. It may be difficult to talk about the people there. We may not know how to use the telephone in the country which are visiting. We may not know what to buy the things we need. In a strange country we may not know where to eat and what to order in a restaurant. It is not easy to decide how many money to tip waiters or taxi drivers. When we are helpless, we may not know how to ask help. After a short time later, however, we learn what to do and what to say. We learn to enjoy life in another country which we are used to living.

There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great. I think there is probably only one great person out of 10, 000 at best, and most probably much less than that. There’s no question that Walt Disney is one of the greatest people who changed the world. As the man behind Mickey Mouse and the entire Disney enterprise, his life’s work has __ children and adults for decades. And when he __ due to lung cancer in 1966, the world truly lost a great person.

__ , Disney made an impact in another way. Legend has it that he wrote one last __ before his death, said Disney historian Jim Korkis. Titled “TV Projects In Production: Ready for Production or Possible for Escalation and Story,” the note __ four names: Ron Miller, 2 Way Down Cellar, Kurt Russell, and CIA-Mobley.

Still, the note’s true __ remained a mystery for decades. What did Disney’s last message to the world intend to __ ?

According to former Disney archivist Dave Smith, who __ the note, Disney was listing possible __ projects for his company. And one name __ out: Kurt Russell.

Disney had expressed his __ of the then-15-year-old’s talent before, praising him on television and __ ensuring that the boy received a studio contract (合同). In October 1966, just months before his __ , Disney even predicted “a great __ future” for Russell. But in the end, it was Disney’s last __ that ended up launching Russell’s career as an actor.

Russell __ this during a 2013 episode of The View. “I assume, as [does] everybody else, that he was __ about some movie that he was thinking about having me in … I don’t know what to make of it __ that,” Russell said.

The young actor would go on to star in dozens of Disney __ , including The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. So in the end, we have Disney to __ for one of the most memorable talents on our screens.

Accidents happen more often than you think. Every year in China, 3.2 million people die in accidents – that’s an average of six people per minute. Experts say that the 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. 1..

The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day. It fell on Sept 8 this year. First aid refers to the first steps taken to help someone who’s injured. 2.. It also includes getting help, either by telling other people or calling 120.

3., do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, 心肺复苏), and treat things like burns, bleeding and broken bones. It takes as little as two hours to learn these skills.

4.. You can also read books or watch videos that can be found on free apps like First Aid(急救指南). 5.. The Peking Union Medical College Hospital offers these options.

“Learning first aid is good for everyone and it is better to start young,” Wang Jiangshan, a doctor in the hospital’s emergency room, told the China Youth Daily. “It can benefit oneself and others for the rest of one’s life.”

A. It includes keeping the person safe and staying calm

B. You can learn first aid by visiting the official website of China First Aid Training

C. This is why learning first aid is so important

D. Right now is a good time for us to learn more about first aid

E. Some hospitals also give courses or even hold first aid camps for kids

F. In the US, first aid is a basic skill that every student has to learn

G. Basic first aid training teaches you how to deal with emergencies

 

Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships? I think people refuse to be generous with others because they fear being used.

For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used. But when we give, we shouldn’t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude. Rather, we should be giving because it’s a good thing to do.

Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.

If you’re generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say “thank you” enough.

So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Just because a task is part of someone’s job description doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t thank them for it.

Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. It’s good for us to say “thank you” because we often need to tell ourselves how lucky we are.

If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.

1.The author mentions her family members in the article mainly to explain ______.

A. why we should give even if we feel we are being used

B. why people have trouble expressing gratitude

C. what makes people refuse to offer help

D. why it’s necessary to express gratitude

2.According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us?

A. It can bring us good luck.

B. Words of gratitude make people happy.

C. It’s not other people’s duty to help us.

D. All we normally get are gifts from the world.

3.The author wrote this article mainly to ______.

A. tell the importance of generosity

B. persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully

C. show how to express our gratitude to others

D. give tips on how to improve other people’s lives

 

Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.

But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.

In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.

“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”

But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.

In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.

1.What do we know about Liu Cixin?

A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.

B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.

C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.

D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.

2.Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.

A. his interest in mysteries of the universe

B. his love of reading science fiction

C. his confusion when he started writing

D. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work

3.Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?

A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.

B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.

C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.

D. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.

4.What’s the text mainly about?

A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.

B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.

C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.

D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.

 

A bright yellow “M” tells you that it’s a McDonald’s restaurant; we also associate the cheerful theme tune “I’m Lovin’ It” with the famous US fast food.

A brand’s music has a similar effect on its customers as its logo. “It appeals directly to the heart, where consumers’ decisions are really made,” wrote Marketing Week.

This is probably why companies from around the world have recently focused more on building a “sonic (声音的) identity”.

An example is the software company Tencent QQ. Since 2014, this Chinese company has been trying to trademark (申请商标权) its “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound. The trademark was finally approved on Nov 15, which means that Tencent’s “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound is now protected by law and can only be used by QQ.

Sound and music can also help tell stories. In Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) there are so many characters that it is difficult to memorize them all. So, they wrote melodies (旋律) specific to each family. The result is that characters do not only look familiar, but sound familiar too.

“I think a huge reason why sound inspires action is that, on an unconscious level, we are always listening,” Lauren Nagel, executive creative director at Pandora Media, told GeoMarketing. “You can close your eyes, but you can’t shut your ears.”

1.What is the influence of a brand’s music, according to Marketing Week?

A. It creates a relaxing environment.

B. It helps to get customers’ attention.

C. It makes the brand better known.

D. It encourages consumers to make quick decisions.

2.The example of Tencent QQ is mainly used to show ______.

A. how companies value their sounds and music

B. the importance of trademark protection

C. the lasting impact of a brand’s music

D. what makes a good notification sound

3.How does music help Game of Thrones?

A. It helps to create more impressive scenes.

B. It tells about the characters’ personalities.

C. It suggests that important things are coming.

D. It makes the characters easier to remember.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money,and time.1. Money is a topic I'll discuss another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

1.Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials already?2.

2.Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread?3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3.4. This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking is to try new things.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start.5. And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A.Try new things.

B.Ability is easily improved.

C.Make three or four instead.

D.Understand your food better.

E.Cooking is a burden for many people.

F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

 

Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant still faces special difficulties. While the elephant population  is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.

Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.

The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation—land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.

Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.

AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.

The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.

1.The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _____.

A. African elephants are endangered now

B. there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants

C. African elephants are popular animals

D. the number of African elephants has increased over the years

2.What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?

A. They are still being killed.    B. Their habitats are being destroyed.

C. They don’t have enough food.    D. They can’t live in peace with farmers.

3.To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT _____.

A. keeping elephants    B. protecting elephants’ habitats

C. doing research on elephants    D. helping farmers improve their life

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. African elephants conservation    B. Living with African elephants

C. African elephants’ situation    D. African elephants being endangered

 

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase(行李箱) packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.

My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.

“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.

“Some clothes and food,” I replied.

“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”

I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.

“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”

This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”

“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.

After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.

“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”

Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”

The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.

“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

Dear Dani,

My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her. What should I do?

Anna

Dani says:

Often people make things up because they’re worried that they are not interesting. So let your friend know that she doesn’t need stories to make friends or impress (……留下深刻印象) others. Point out that when others discover the truth, they won’t be impressed at all.

Dear Dani,

I have two best friends and they’re always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything. What can I do?

Tom

Dani says:

Groups of three can be very difficult because one person often gets left out. Your friends may not realize how you feel. Talk to them about this and agree to plan the next outing together. With a bit of effort, a group of three can be a wonderful friendship!

Dear Dani,

I told my friend a secret, but then I found out she told it to somebody else. What can I do?

Daisy

Dani says:

We all make mistakes so give your friend another chance. But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again. If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future.

Dear Dani,

I’m friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it. Can’t girls be friends with boys as well?

Mary

Dani says:

Most people think that good looks and being smart will give you advantage in life. The first is God-given. 1. In this article we explore some different ways to become smarter.

Go to college, and get an education. 2. It means that you will have been exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you will have learned how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.

Read books and educational magazines. 3. Educational magazines such as Discovery or National Geographic are a wealth of knowledge that you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something where you can learn such as the History Channel, Discovery etc.

Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It does not seem like much, but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter. Subscribing to vocabulary.com is a good start. 4. This way you are actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.

5. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. They hear an outrageous(骇人的) claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your quest for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.

A. That is my exact point.

B. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.

C. You will have a new word sent to your e-mail address daily.

D. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.

E. The programs actually provide you with information you can use.

F. College does not necessarily mean you will be smarter, just educated.

G. Do not repeat everything people tell you until you know that it is true.

 

It's time for those who are about to graduate to look for jobs since graduation season is drawing near. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (文身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey (传递) certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.

As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

1.Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to     Paragraph 2?

A. People's appearances carry messages about themselves.

B. Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.

C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.

D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.

2.What can be inferred from the text?

A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.

B. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.

C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.

D. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Employees Matter

B. Appearances Matter

C. Personal Choices Matter

D. Hiring Managers Matter

4.The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be     described as ______.

A. enthusiastic    B. positive

C. negative    D. sympathetic

 

Do you always agree to do things that you are unwilling to do? Are you the type of person who always says "yes"? I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO! It's okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I'm not saying to say "no" to someone who really needs your help. I'm talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don't want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don't want to do. If you're like I once was,you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you're saying to yourself,if you really wanted to go,you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.

So,why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting (by the way,it is not the one you must attend) your boss isn't going to like you or your co-workers won't respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom,dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them that they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends,family members,or a good boss,they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if you're someone who always says "yes", then that's what they're expecting.

You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill,but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

1.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

B. We should help others in need.

C. Always saying "no" means you are brave.

D. Always saying "yes" means you are dishonest.

2.What does the underlined word '' It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Saying "yes".

B. A friend's birthday party.

C. Something you're unwilling to do.

D. Something you think difficult to do.

3.The writer believes that if you say "no" to your family members,you'll ______.

A. upset them

B. disappoint them

C. have a loose relationship with them

D. have the same relationship with them as before

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Learn to Make a Right Choice

B. To Be Yourself

C. Learn to Say No

D. Do What You Want to Do

 

You can't imagine how terrible I felt at that time. A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

By mile17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

A. lost hope

C. was well trained

3.How was the author’s first marathon?

A. He made it.

B. He quit halfway.

C. He got the first prize.

D. He walked to the end.

4.What does the story mainly tell us?

A. One is never too old to learn.

B. . Failure is the mother of success.

C. A winner is one with a great effort of will.

D. A man owes his success to his family support.
