Battling another cough or cold? 1. You may feel better if you take a daily walk or follow a simple exercise routine a few times a week. Exercise helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease. It also helps keep your bones healthy and strong. We do not know exactly if or how exercise increases your immunity (免疫) to certain illnesses. There are several theories. 2. Some of these theories are as follows: Physical activity may help move bacteria (细菌) out of the lungs and airways. 3. The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing. This temperature rise may help the body fight against infection (传染) better. 4. Some stress increases the chance of illness. Lower stress hormones（荷尔蒙）may protect against illnesses. Exercise is good for you. 5. Studies have shown that people who follow a moderately (适度地) energetic lifestyle, benefit most from starting and sticking to an exercise program. So go ahead, take an aerobics class or go for a walk. You will feel better and healthier for it. A.Feeling tired all the time? B.Have you taken a walk today? C.However, you should not overdo it. D.However, none of them have been proven. E.Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones. F.People should not exercise more just to increase immunity. G.This may reduce your chance of getting a cold or other illnesses.
We know it’s good to learn another language. It opens doors, makes you more employable, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun, too. But to improve our linguistic（语言）skills, many of us have to stand hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning. There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to cash in on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available— including our own, free, BBC Learning English app! Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon— lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments. But they’re not perfect— you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the peer support you get in a classroom environment. So, does technology take the place of the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He told the BBC that apps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to remove traditional teaching. And he adds: “The apps are not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.” Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more involved. 1.Which of the following statements is true? A.Smart phones must be used in language classes. B.Everyone has to bear to stay in classrooms all day. C.Learning another language helps improve technology. D.Language learners have more chances to be employed. 2.What can you do by learning on apps? A.Studying on your own schedule. B.Learning all the popular languages. C.Becoming a master of grammar easily. D.Having many classmates to study together. 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Technology will replace teachers. B.We use technology to teach better. C.Real teachers and lessons get us more involved. D.Apps should be popularized in all different classes. 4.What is probably the best title for the passage? A.The Way to Learn with Apps. B.The Advantages of Learning with Apps C.The Choice of Apps or Classroom Learning. D.The Importance of Learning another language.
Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’s an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms, and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food. Li is a craftsperson in a rural area of Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grinding them into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it. Her works also include building a homemade oven to bake bread. Like the rest of us, Li was probably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, but she uses everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attended college, but she shows us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plenty of learning resources. Li lets the world see one of the most important aspects of the Chinese people, how they live their daily lives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts of her global audience. Moreover, Li’s charming videos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by using her head, heart and hands. While others become the product of their environment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problems and feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them. We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that “doing” life could offer. 1.What is special about Li’s videos? A.Baking bread in a modern way. B.Both on YouTube and Sina Weibo. C.Mixing Chinese with western food. D.Showing planting and cooking processes. 2.What has interested global audience in Paragraph 4? A.Traditional Chinese tofu. B.Turning daily life into art. C.Chinese people’s country life. D.The detailed cooking programme. 3.The author suggests that we should ________. A.enjoy watching Li’s videos B.fix the broken things by ourselves C.use surroundings to improve our lives D.have the simple joy of country living 4.What is the author’s attitude to Li’s videos? A.Favorable. B.Indifferent. C.Doubtful. D.Negative.
Today in the UK teenagers are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many do take up part-time jobs. It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on their CV(简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money. Some research has shown that not taking part-time job could be detrimental to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not taking part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers' organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment. However, recent studies have still shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Young people feel that going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results — and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that ''Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.'' In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. 1.Which is the advantage of having part-time jobs? A.Learning useful lessons. B.Spending money at will. C.Living independently. D.Making some money. 2.What does the underlined word ''detrimental'' probably mean? A.Careful. B.Helpful. C.Faithful. D.Harmful. 3.From the passage, in UK we know_______ . A.hard work is not fit for teenagers B.a girl aged 10 is not allowed to work C.a fifth children have taken part-time jobs D.working benefits teens' performance at school 4.What is Geoff Barton's opinion? A.Learning some necessary working skills. B.Keeping a balance between study and rest. C.Having as many part-time jobs as possible. D.Focusing on teenagers’ achievements at school.

Your children are watching you. 1. According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children. And when it comes to developing healthy habits, parents influence their children more than anyone else. 2. What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives. This includes some eating and exercise habits. Children are very careful, even at a young age. Children watch what others do carefully and imitate the behaviors of those closest to them. As parents, you should do the following: 3. If you do that, your children are more likely to be enthusiastic about developing theirs. Let your children see you taking care of your own physical health by eating fruit and vegetables. Talk to them about healthy habits in appropriate terms and at a proper time. 4. 5. Computers , televisions and other forms of technology are a major part of life in the 21st century. Unfortunately, as the use of technology in the home increases, so does the time spent watching TV or playing on the computer. So as parents, you should also arrange the time for your children wisely.

Ever called a movie theater to find out showtime? Or called a customer service center for help? Chances are you didn't speak to a human being. You probably gave commands to an Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) system. These types of systems are efficient money-saving tools that allow companies to address many customer concerns with minimum human intervention. The technology for such a system has advanced greatly since its appearance in the 1950s. One significant recent achievement is the launching of virtual personal assistants (VPAs) on mobile phones. The most well-known of these is Apple’s iPhone VPA, Siri. If you tell Siri that you want to schedule lunch with a friend, “she” can set the appointment on your phone in seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” with a sense of humor. However, it can only be set off when the human user speaks certain key phrases or words. While the potential for communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practicing those skills. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service. Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy. When people use certain speech recognition applications, they leave behind an audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is often sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital information may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data. For now, however, the continuing evolution of ASR software is thrilling to behold. Asking for and acquiring information from an automated source has never been easier. Leading companies in the speech recognition world will make human communication with machines as seamless as possible - in other words, just like communicating with another human. 1.What can we say about Apple’s Siri? A.It’s a helpful VPA. B.It first appeared in the 1950s. C.It’s the most advanced ASR system. D.It has the same sense of humor as humans. 2.What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A.The broad definition of ASR. B.Potential problems with ASR. C.The fast development of ASR. D.Movements against using ASR. 3.What is the author's attitude towards the future of ASR? A.Worried. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Indifferent. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Talking to Technology B.The Application of Siri C.The Art of Conversation D.VPAs on Mobile Phones
When you are sitting in the car, do you ever notice the drivers looking over their shoulders or side to side in the car? Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots take driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents. Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition. Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots---on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well. When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car! The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar（柱子）---the material on either side on the windshield（挡风玻璃）that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar. Alaina's design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield. She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the drivers' head. Then, she covered the inside of the pillar in reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar "see through" and removed the blind spot on that side of the car. Alnina's solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well. 1.What can be learned about blind spots during driving? A.They call for careful driving. B.They make driving thrilling. C.They are many in kinds. D.They can't be get rid of. 2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ingenious" in paragraph 2? A.interesting B.creative C.inspiring D.invisible 3.How did Alaina solve the problem? A.By improving the A-pillar. B.By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar. C.By relying on LCD displays. D.By using a camera to capture images. 4.What's the best title for the text? A.An Introduction to Blind Spots B.A Warning About the Road Safety C.A Teen's Creative Solution to Blind Spots D.Scientific Research on Blind Spots

Tips for Great Language Exchanges ● What to ask yourself The first step is to ask yourself some important questions. The most important question to ask yourself is why you want to learn the language. 1. ● Find the right partner There are hundreds of partners to choose from in the language you want to learn. 2. When reading profiles, look for some important signs. People who have been on the site and have been active are much more likely to be good partners than those who have been on the site for a week and don't really have their profile filled out and haven't been active. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is better to find at least two exchange partners. 3. ● State your expectations 4. Expressing expectations in advance will give the partnership a higher chance of going well. Avoid being too strict. For example, if you're hoping for Wednesday nights every week, you'll have better luck if you state other times that also could work for you. ● 5. Before each meeting, prepare some questions on a topic of your choice. That will give you the chance to look up related words as well as think about your own answers. Preparing topics ahead of time will also help you avoid having nothing to say at your meetings. Otherwise, you'll find that you keep talking about the same things at every meeting, which you want to avoid. A.Get fully prepared. B.Avoid having nothing to express. C.Some of them may give you a hand. D.So how can you find the right partner? E.People lead busy lives and one person may not be available every week. F.Another question to ask yourself is how much free time you really have. G.Once you find a person who seems like a good fit, be clear about what your expectations are.
As millions of people move indoors to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the World Health Organization suggested that governments should restrict access to alcohol during lockdowns. Drinking alcohol can affect peoples' immune systems and make them more vulnerable to the bad health effects of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to WHO. Alcohol use is also associated with diseases and mental health disorders that can make a person more likely to contract COVID-19. "At times of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol consumption can worsen the health vulnerability, risk-taking behaviours, mental health issues and violence," WHO noted in a press release. The organization encouraged governments to "enforce measures which limit alcohol consumption." In the US, alcohol sales increased 55% over a one-week span last month, according to market research firm Nielsen. Excessive drinking can cause alcohol poisoning and increase the risk of violence among intimate partners. WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned earlier this month that stay-at-home orders and self-quarantining will likely lead to more home violence. "Women in abusive relationships are more likely to be exposed to violence, as are their children, as family members spend more time in close contact, and families cope with additional stress and potential economic or job losses," Tedros said. The guidance issued last week came from WHO's European regional entity. The area has the highest alcohol intake in the world, and roughly 1 million deaths are caused by alcohol every year there. "Alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities in the European Region, and leaves too many victims. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we should really ask ourselves what risks we are taking in leaving people under lockdown in their homes with a substance that is harmful both in terms of their health and the effects of their behaviour on others, including violence," Carin Ferreira-Borges, the program manager for the region's alcohol and illicit drugs program, said in a statement. 1.What did WTO encourage the governments to do during the lockdowns? A.It encouraged the governments to prevent people from going out. B.It encouraged the governments to tell people to keep social distance. C.It encouraged the governments to close the schools. D.It encouraged the governments to limit the sale of alcohol. 2.Which is not the reason why people are not allowed to drink more alcohol? A.Drinking more alcohol will affect peoples' Immune systems. B.Drinking more alcohol will cause more violence at home. C.Drinking more alcohol will cause more traffic accidents. D.Drinking more alcohol can cause poisoning. 3.In what area did people like drinking most in the world? A.Asia B.America C.Europe D.Africa 4.From what Tedros said who is more likely to be affected by violence at home? A.Young people. B.Old people. C.Drunken man. D.Women and children.
If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), according to a recent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development. "We see the tree cover being changed, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said. "Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region." The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation. Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like sweeping leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt(沥青). "A lot of our native trees can't actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate," explains Greg Levine, co-executive director for Trees Atlanta. "That's why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren't natural anymore." Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property. "We think we pay for our house, and so we must maintain it. But because we don't pay for nature, we don't need to. And that's not necessarily true." 1.Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures” ? A.To tell the temperatures in summer are high. B.To introduce the topic. C.To tell trees are helpful. D.To explain the reason of tree loss. 2.How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak ? A.Improve climate to let trees grow. B.Prevent fires form damaging trees. C.Develop cities in reasonable ways. D.Decrease insects in citites. 3.Why forests in cities need our help ? A.Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally. B.Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more. C.Because trees don’t grow in a city environment. D.Because humans want to plant more trees. 4.What is the purpose of this passage ? A.Describe the importance of trees in cities. B.Show the number of trees in the US is declining. C.Ask people to plant trees with the author. D.Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.
A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend–a bear. The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey. Two days later, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some wild bush. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend." The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. "However," the police officer said, "he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him." Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped. Doctors at Carolina East Medical Center treated Casey for minor injuries. He was then released to his family on January 25. His mother Brittany Hathaway was on cloud nine and talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. "We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to come search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good," said his mother. "He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good." 1.What did Casey's family do on finding he went missing? A.They rang up the police at once. B.They got into a panic and at a loss as to what to do. C.They didn't call up the police until nearly an hour later. D.They gathered together and discussed what they should do next. 2.How was Casey when he was found? A.He was almost frozen to death. B.He simply got some slight injuries. C.He was badly injured by the bear. D.He was all right as he usually was. 3.Who helped a lot in the process of the rescue work according to the text? A.The reporters. B.Casey's friends. C.A bear staying with Casey. D.Some person passing by the woods. 4.What does the underlined phrase "on cloud nine" probably mean in the last paragraph? A.extremely excited B.terribly frightened C.mentally troubled D.unusually annoyed

Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus had arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem. Be impatient will probably waste all the effort what we have put in. Now whenever I am about to losing my patience, I will think of this experience.
A Game of Light and Shade It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and decided to _______ him. I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was _______ to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and _______ the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs _________ to the hallway. “That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to show some _______, but he didn’t answer. “Not the _______ certainly,” I said. “Perhaps he wants to _______.” I bought a ticket and _______ up the stairs. The man hadn’t gone as far as I _______. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his ________. I slowed down and followed him at a little ________. He stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was a dozen steps ________. As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower. At last, after ten minutes, I ________ him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could, “but I am curious to know ________ you came up.” He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun ________ into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the ________ —the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm—and how up here behind the wall there is ________, but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no ________ so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.” The blind man seemed quite ________ just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games.

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.1. So challenge the following limits: 1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously. If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.2. But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I’m not scared!” 2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.3.Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income. 3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. 4.A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself. 4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people. Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.5. A.You should do it continuously. B.Someone may hang up on you. C.You don’t need to go to the gym. D.Running in the gym may be a better choice. E.Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself. F.Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. G.You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.
Last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years,” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned.” In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites. Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technology—good old paper—that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media websites may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped (炒作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous. An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for students that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Web-linked, e-learning environment and while it's true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects. In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students' backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the shocking costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice. As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I can't help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper. 1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Multi-media websites and good old paper are kinds of digital-learning technologies. B.Digital learning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later. C.E-readers and multi-media websites are learning methods that are proved effective. D.A tried-and-true technology is paper textbooks, long used in educational system. 2.What is the drawback of paper textbooks according to the passage? A.Their weight. B.Their price. C.Their content. D.Their appearance. 3.What worries Maryanne Wolf is that ________. A.paper learning can provide more potential benefits B.students may not focus on learning by digital reading C.digital reading can't provide potential benefits for users D.the results of digital reading effects are understandable 4.What is the author's attitude towards digital-learning? A.Disapproving. B.Supportive. C.Positive. D.Objective.
