The difference between substance abuse and addiction is very slight. Substance abuse means using an illegal substance or using a legal substance in the wrong way.1. You can abuse a drug or alcohol without having an addiction. For example, Sara smoked a few times doesn’t mean that she has an addiction, but it does mean the she’s abusing a drug—and that could lead to an addiction. 2. When we think of addiction, we usually think of alcohol or illegal drugs. But people become addicted to medications, cigarettes and so on! And some substances are more addictive than others. Drugs like heroin are so addictive that they might only be used once or twice before the user loses control. Addiction means a person has no control over whether he or she uses a drug or drinks. Someone who’s addicted to cocaine has grown so used to the drug that he or she has to have it. 3. Being physically addicted means a person’s body actually becomes dependent on a particular substance. Someone who is physically addicted and stops using a substance may experience withdrawal symptoms. 4. Psychological addiction happens when the desire for a drug are psychological or emotional. People psychologically addicted feel overcome by the desire to have a drug. They may lie or steal to get it. A person crosses the line between abuse and addiction when he or she is no longer trying the drug to have fun or get high, but has come to depend on it. 5. An addicted person—whether it’s a physical or psychological addiction or both — no longer feels like there is a choice in taking a substance. A. It’s better to avoid using medicine or wine in life. B. People can get addicted to all sorts of substances. C. Addiction can be physical, psychological, or both. D. Addiction begins by using a substance like cocaine. E. His or her whole life centers on the need for the drug. F. The addicted people often got into trouble by themselves. G. Common symptoms of withdrawal are generally feeling awful.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has called for a return to the classics of English literature in schools, but are they still appropriate for today’s children? A quick scan of any list of the most read children’s books will reveal(揭示) that today’s young people are growing up in a very different literary environment from their parents. Gone from bedroom bookshelves are the Famous Five and the Chronicles of Narnia. And in their places are the likes of Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And as for the 19th Century classics of English literature, such as Emily Bronte and Charles Dickens, many children simply have not heard of them. One south London mother, Geri Cox, explained how her daughter’s Year 5 class was to be named this year after the literary giant, Jane Austen. But the class teacher soon had second thoughts when the suggested name was met with blank stares. “My daughter came back and said they weren’t going to be called Austen class anymore, because not many people had heard of her. Instead, the class was to be named after Rowing, the Harry Potter author.” Ms. Morgan argues that children will miss out if they do not have access to “our rich heritage(遗产) of world-famous children’s literature”. But perhaps these more modern books are able to do the job of lighting the literary touch paper just as well. A spokesman for Penguin Random House Children’s books said: “Millions of children are readers because of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Jeff Kinney’s work is perfect for turning unwilling readers on to books.” According to Seni Glaister, children’s books expert, the mix of type-face and art is a big part of the attraction. “It means the text does not look frightening and that it will therefore appeal to unwilling readers.” 1.Who enjoys the greatest popularity among children? A. Jeff Kinney. B. Jane Austen. C. Emily Bronte. D. Charles Dickens 2.What does the story of Geri Cox’s daughter suggest? A. Teachers learn less about their students. B. Children often stare blankly at their teachers. C. Year 5 class should select their own literary giant. D. Children don’t like reading literary classics today. 3.What’s Ms. Morgan’s attitude towards literary classics? A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Confused. 4.What do we learn about Diary of a Wimpy Kid? A. It belongs to one of literary classics B. It was written by a writer in 19th century. C. It turns out to be a great success among children. D. It isn’t well-received by experts on children’s books.
Many people have heard bee populations are declining due to such threats as pesticides(杀虫剂). And many understand bees are important to plant pollination(授粉). Yet, according to a study led by Utah State University ecologist Joseph Wilson, few are aware of the wide diversity of bees and other pollinators beyond such species as honeybees. “The U.S. Postal Service recently put out its Protect Pollinator series, which features only the European honeybee and the monarch butterfly,” says Wilson, assistant professor of biology at USU’s Tooele campus. “A social media commenter observed that using these two species on a campaign to protect pollinators is similar to focusing on chickens to save birds. It’s a pretty good comparison, actually.” Wilson, with colleagues Matthew Forister of the University of Nevada-Reno, published findings in the Sept. 5, 2017, online edition of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. “In our recent survey, 99 percent of our respondents said bees are important, yet only 14 percent were able to guess within 1,000, the actual number of bee species in the United States,” he says. “Most people guessed around 50 species of bees, while the correct number is about 4,000 known species.” Further, when shown images of varied insects, many people were unable to distinguish bees from non-bees. “A challenge with lack of knowledge about bees is you can’t protect what you’re now aware of,” Wilson says. “We could be losing species or causing decline and not even know it.” Public education is key to encouraging conservation efforts, he says. “Because conservation efforts require substantial public support, it’s important that the public understand bees and what needs to be done to protect these species,” Wilson says. “Education is the key to understanding bee declines and protecting our pollinators.” 1.According to the text, bees function as __________. A. honey-makers B. pest-killers C. producers D. pollinators 2.What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Wilson is in support of the Protect Pollinator series. B. The commenter observed honeybees and butterflies. C. People neglect many other pollinators. D. Protecting chicken can help save birds. 3.What does the underlined word “substantial” in the last paragraph mean? A. legal. B. large. C. minimum. D. slim. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Not Only Honeybees B. Protection of Honeybees C. Growing Threats to Bees D. Newly Discovered Bee Species
The beloved and longtime host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred Rogers was born on march20, 1928, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Latrobe High school, Rogers was admitted to Dartmouth College, where he studied for a year before transferring(转学) to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. Rogers, who’d begun playing the piano at a young age, graduated with high honour in 1951 with a degree in music composition. During his senior year of college he visited his parents and was amazed by the family’s newest household addition: a television set. He could see a bright future for the medium and, as he’d later remembered, Rogers immediately decided he wanted to be a part of it. Rogers’ first job in television came in 1953 when he was employed to work in programming by WQED in Pittsburgh, a recently launched community TV station that was the first of its kind in the country. In the following year, he was co-producing a new program, The Children’s Corner. This allowed Rogers, who’d fallen in love with puppetry(木偶戏) as a child, to introduce some of his favourite puppets from his home to his young audience. As his experience grew, so did his aspirations(抱负). He earned his divinity(神学) degree in 1962. After that Presbyterian Church asked him to serve children and families through television. Rogers made his first appearance the following year as Mister Rogers on a Canadian Broadcast System show called Misterogers. The program helped lay the foundation in its look and approach for Rogers’ later show. Canada, however, was not where Rogers or his wife, Joanne, whom he’d met at Rollins, wanted to raise their two young sons. Soon, the Rogers family was back in Pittsburgh, where Rogers launched Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in 1996. 1.What inspired Fred Rogers’ decision to enter a career in television? A. His parents’ encouragement. B. His major at college. C. A television set in his home. D. His deep love in music. 2.Which one mainly influenced Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood? A. Misterogers in Canada. B. The Children’s Corner C. Rogers’ divinity degree. D. Rogers’ first job. 3.Why did the couple move back to Pittsburgh? A. Rogers planned to launch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood there. B. They thought Canada was unfit for bringing up their children. C. They wanted to look after their parents back in America. D. Presbyterian Church invited them back in America. 4.What does the whole text mainly talk about? A. Rogers’ interests in music and puppets. B. Early education Fred Rogers received. C. Fred Rogers’ family and his experiences. D. Fred Rogers’ early life and early career.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch(胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family. Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about. Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered(风化的) door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack（面粉袋改做的） shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding ,“But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time？” “I'll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.” Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags(装钉子的麻袋). People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin(汽水罐). 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 2. 应使用5个以上短文标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词。 Paragraph 1 Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Finally, the time came!______________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

The Best Ways to Lose Weight with Walking Walking regularly is the easiest and least expensive form of exercise. Except for a good pair of walking shoes, no special equipment is needed. It is not necessary to join a gym. 1.You can walk every day with no “rest days” in between. There is nothing to learn; people already know how to walk. There are, however, a few important things to keep in mind when walking to lose weight． ● Ways to lose weight by walking The first way to begin to lose weight by walking is to start walking. The initial goal should be 10,000 steps per day. Using a simple pedometer(计步器) attached to the waistband or on a belt will help you to count your daily steps. Consistency—even 10 minutes 3 times a day at first will produce the immediate results．2. ●3. It is very important to check with your medical professional before beginning any exercise program; especially if you are over age 65, have been required sitting or little activity for more than a year，or have been diagnosed with heart disease，pregnancy，high blood pressure，or any other medical conditions． ● How to walk to lose weight A good walking technique will help you achieve the physical or mental energy you need to walk consistently for the amount of time you have set for your goal. Making sure that you are using your large muscles correctly will also help to build your muscles．4. Walking regularly can aid in muscle growth and increase the amount of calories you burn throughout the day. Eating a healthy low-fat diet will raise your metabolism(新陈代谢)．5.If paired the calorie burn with the correct diet, it can lead to a better form of weight loss． A． Limit your "bad" fat intake． B． Begin a walking program with suitable physical qualities． C． For example, take the stairs rather than taking the elevator． D． It can be done anywhere and anytime, alone or with friends． E． These two methods will help lead to a safe 1 to 2 pound weight loss per week． F． Strong muscles burn more calories throughout the day, even when you are not walking． G． But slowly increasing the time and the distance will encourage your weight-loss efforts．
America's top education official says many schools are spending too much time teaching the “basics”—reading, math and writing. It might seem opposite to what educators have been promoting. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really deserve access to a well-rounded education that includes music and arts because it will help them go into being well-rounded, well-educated persons． King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math， reading and writing． King grew up in New York. Both his parents died when he was quite young. In his house, things were often crazy and frightening. It was his teacher, Mr. Osterwei, who helped him escape his difficult life. Quite often, the teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoo, the ballet and famous Museum of Natural History. “Those were powerful, life-changing experiences, ”King says. King graduated from Harvard University. He received his law degree from Yale University. He took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. The U.S. Senate approved him as Education secretary last month． Many schools spend almost all funding on the “basics” because they lack money for other subjects, King says. Or they want students to do better on tests used to compare student performance． Students need to connect their studies and things that matter to them personally, such as music if they are to become “sophisticated(水平高的) thinkers”. A 2013 report by UNESCO says today's world needs people able to solve new and unusual problems. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO said teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different． From that in many Western countries, the emphasis(重点) in those three countries is “on joyful experiences and children's interests. ” In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math. A 2014 report tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, Canada, Australia and Finland with the highest scores for 15-year-olds. Singapore led the way with a score of 562 out of a possible 1，000. The average score was 500. The United States had a score of 508． 1.According to paragraph 1, what have educators been encouraging? A. Teaching arts should never be put second to teaching the “basic”． B. More money and time ought to be set aside for teaching arts． C. Research should be done to ensure a well-rounded education． D. Enough time is supposed to be spent in teaching the “basics”． 2.King spoke about his own education experience to ________. A. share with us his extraordinary education background B. tell us his teacher attached great importance to teaching C. confirm access to arts contributes to good academic performances D. call on schools to give arts lessons as much attention as the "basics" ones 3.The author convinces us of the importance of teaching arts by different means except ________. A. by giving examples B. by making comparisons C. by analyzing figures D. by performing experiments 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Schools are supposed to be far-sighted B. Kids should be well-rounded persons C. Kids need more than “the basics” to learn D. Teachers must have advanced teaching methods
An article describing the attitude of post-1990s generations toward life has recently gone viral on Chinese social media, which resonates with(引起共鸣) millions of youngsters for reflecting their casualness and calmness under gradually increasing social pressure． The article was first published on WeChat with the title of “The first group of post-90s generation who have become monks”. By using the phrase “Buddha-like youngsters”(佛系青年), it claimed that some of the post-90s generations, who were born between 1990 and 1992, have “seen through the emptiness of life” and kept a casual and calm attitude toward career and life． “It's fine to have something or not and there is no need to pursue or win anything," said the article, while defining "Buddha-like" people and clarifying that the phrase has nothing to do with the religion of Buddhism. An easy example is that Buddha-like youngsters do not care about taking which way to return home or choosing what to eat for lunch, according to the article． The phrase has touched the nerves of the Chinese youngsters who are facing the fast-paced life, cut-throat world of career and great mental pressure in China, read a commentary by People's Daily on Wednesday. The phrase was well received by Chinese netizens; the original WeChat post has been viewed by more than 1 million times and then read more than 60 million times on SinaWeibo by Wednesday． “The phrase properly describes the mentalities and lifestyle of (some of) the post-90s generations in China, who have become less ambitious and more casual toward life due to the great pressure and fierce competition in today's China”, one SinaWeibo user commented． Are you a Buddha-like youngster? 1.The underlined phrase “gone viral” in Paragraph 1 means "__________"． A. spread quickly B. been clearly explained C. appeared secretly D. been completely confirmed 2.According to the text, "Buddha-like youngsters" may__________. A. get used to life stress B. struggle hard for their future C. attach much importance to fame D. take a casual attitude toward competition 3.The author shows that the phrase “Buddha-like youngsters” was well received __________.

The bus was full of the sounds of laughing and yelling fifth graders. They were on their way to the zoo for a class trip. Mario was excited to see the zoo, but there was one problem. It was ten o'clock in the morning, but his stomach was already grumbling(咕咕叫). He reached down and grabbed his lunch bag. Opening it, he saw that it contained a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. Mario sighed. He always had peanut butter and jell. “Trade you lunches,” he said to the boy seated next to him on the bus． “Okay,” said Mark as he handed his brown bag to Mario． Mario opened it and was hit with the smell of tuna(金枪鱼). Mario wrinkled his nose and quickly closed the bag. He leaned forward and tapped the shoulder of the girl in front of him.” Swap lunches, Toni?” he asked． “Hmm, okay,” said Toni． Mario smiled. This was fun. But when he looked into the bag, he frowned. What a disappointment! A ham sandwich, but no cookies! He had to have cookies． Mario turned in his seat. “Want to trade lunches?” he asked Juana． “Definitely!” said Juana. She grabbed his lunch and tossed hers onto his lap． He opened the lunch bag. Pizza! He reached into the bag to grab it. Oh, no! The pizza was hard. He could hit a home run with pizza that hard． Mario twisted in his seat. One last try, he told himself. “Hey, Mona! Trade lunches?” Three rows behind him, Mona seemed hesitant: Finally, she nodded. She passed her lunch forward, and he passed his back． Mario took a deep breath and opened the bag. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. The sandwich was a little squashed(挤压), and one of the cookies was broken. Mario ate it anyway.

Let’s face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet sodas. ＂What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,＂ said Sharon Fowler. The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years. While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations. Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don’t lose weight at all. "We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,＂ said Rogers. So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over-compensate(补偿) for the missing calories. A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. ＂Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,＂ said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine. ＂They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.＂ 1.People drink diet sodas to ____________. A. enjoy its taste B. achieve weight loss C. stay in fashion D. gain more energy 2.The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas ____________. A. causes people to become heavier B. helps people to be healthier C. makes people much thinner D. offers people more calories 3.We can learn from the passage that ____________. A. regular sodas make people lose more weight B. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food C. diet sodas do help reduce calories D. most blood diseases come from diet sodas 4.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to “_________”. A. sweeteners B. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers C. sodas D. diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
