China is an open country now and the cultural exchange has been quite frequent over the last 30 years. Such cultural shocks are less and less shocking.

    One thing that most of us probably can agree on: just about every parent thinks that his or her kid is special. 1.. Good intentions, however, do not often lead to good outcomes: people who particularly dislike their name-and also if other people think it's an odd (怪异的） and unlikeable name-tend not to be as well-adjusted.

2., maybe even something fairly significant, about your parents' religious or ethnic (种族的） background, their level of income or education, maybe even their politics. From what we can tell, your name is not your destiny (命运）. The story goes that two brothers in New York were named Loser and Winner by their parents. Loser turned out to have a great life as an upstanding citizen. He was a police detective. 3. .

Just think about it for a minute. 4. -your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making-to say nothing of luck.

Now, considering all of those heavyweight forces, how much could something as surface as a name really affect your life's outcome? 5. , it isn't that hard to change it.

A.Your life is determined by yourself

B.And Winner had been a career criminal

C.A name contains a rich set of information

D.Think about all the things that make you

E.It is true that your name may tell the world something

F.Plus which: if you really think your name is holding you back

G.And part of what makes each of our kids special is the names we give them

    The stomach is an extremely strong organ, full of acid to break down each meal. In order to prevent this acid from burning a hole in our stomachs and damaging other organs, our stomach lining is specially adapted to contain the acid safely.

H. pylori are able to live in the stomach by living in the lining, safe from harsh stomach acid. These bacteria are actually pretty common in people, approximately a third of Australians have H. pylori in their bodies, but not all have symptoms.

The bacteria can eventually create infection in stomach lining, a condition known as gastritis (胃炎）, by wearing away the lining and allowing stomach acid to burn away stomach tissue, causing painful ulcers (溃疡）。

Up until the 1980s, it was thought that bacteria could not survive in stomach acid. The cause of stomach ulcers was due to lifestyle choices: stress, smoking, spicy foods; the stomach acid was breaking through the lining on its own.

This belief was first questioned in 1979 by Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist, who found bacteria on a microscope slide containing the stomach lining of a patient with gastritis. In the years that followed Warren continued his research.

Warren then teamed up with Barry Marshall in 1981 and the two continued with the research, trying to separate the mystery bacteria and find a cure. Over the next three years, they tested their theories with some positive results, however the idea that bacteria could be the cause of gastritis was not widely accepted or even acknowledged.

Finally, fed up with being ignored and confident in his findings, Barry Marshall decided to test on himself. He infected himself with H. pylori and soon developed gastritis and terrible stomach ulcers. Marshall then began to cure himself by taking a dose of antibiotics (抗生素）. This once and for all proved not only that bacteria could grow in stomach acid, but it could also cause gastritis and stomach ulcers.

Eventually, the world fully acknowledged Warren and Marshall's huge contribution to science and medicine and the two were awarded the Nobel prize in Medicine in 2005. Twenty-six years after Robin Warren first began his research.

1.Why did the academics initially refuse to accept that H. pylori caused gastritis?

A.Lifestyle choices caused stomach ulcers.

B.Stomach acid could break through the lining on its own.

C.They thought that bacteria couldn't survive in the stomach.

D.The Australian pathologist Robin Warren provided no evidence.

2.How did Barry Marshall prove that H. pylori caused gastritis?

A.Choosing unhealthy lifestyles. B.Introducing H. pylori to his own stomach.

C.Finding the bacteria on stomach lining. D.Growing H. pylori in the lab.

3.What can we infer from the text?

A.Scientific progress takes time. B.Science guides medical practices.

C.Warren is not a productive scientist. D.Only Marshall deserves the prize.

4.The text is most likely written to          .

A.Chemists B.Patients C.Researchers D.The general public

    You feel especially smart and funny when talking to a particular person, only to feel hopelessly unintelligent and tongue-tied in the presence of another.

Experiments show when people report feeling comfortable with a conversational partner, they are judged by those partners and by observers as actually being more witty (机智的）。

It's just one example of the powerful influence that social factors can have on intelligence. As parents, teachers and students settle into the school year, this work should encourage us to think about intelligence not as a “lump of something that's in our heads,” as the psychologist Joshua Aronson puts it, but as “a transaction among people.”

Mr. Aronson, an associate professor at New York University, has been a leader in investigating the effects of social forces on academic achievement. Along with the psychologist Claude Steele, he identified the phenomenon known as “stereotype (刻板印象） threat.” Members of groups believed not to be academically good score much lower on tests when reminded in advance of their race or gender.

The pair's experiments in the 1990s concluded that the performance of these students suffered because they were worried about confirming negative stereotypes about their group.

Minorities aren't the only ones easily hurt by stereotype threat. We all are. A group of people especially confident about their mathematical abilities did worse on a math test when told that the experiment was intended to investigate “why Asians appear to perform better than other students on tests of math ability.”

And in a study published earlier this year in the journal Learning and Individual Differences, high school students did worse on a test of spatial (空间的） skills when told that males are better at solving spatial problems because of genetic differences between males and females. The girls were anxious about confirming assumptions about their gender, while the boys were anxious about living up to them.

The evolving literature on stereotype threat shows that performance is always social in nature. Even alone in an exam room, we hear a chorus of voices assessing, evaluating, passing judgment. And as social creatures, humans are strongly affected by what these voices say.

1.What does the underlined word “transaction” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Spatial reasoning skills. B.The ability to remember information.

C.Interaction between us and the environment. D.Passing on knowledge from teachers to students.

2.After being told males typically perform better than females in math, males are most likely to perform      .

A.better than females B.the same as females

C.worse than usual D.worse than females

3.Which of the following “voices” in our head may influence performance on an exam?

A.“I am as prepared as I can be.”

B.“I am supposed to do well on this.”

C.“The testing room is different from my classroom.”

D.“I am solving the problems faster than the one sitting in front of me.”

4.How do stereotypes threaten our academic achievement?

A.Making us unintelligent. B.Reminding us of our weaknesses.

C.Limiting our spatial reasoning skills. D.Raising our anxiety level.

    He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his tote bag.

The portly man sat on the terrace, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a glossy cruise brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes.

As I brought him his clam chowder (蛤肉菜汤）, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.

I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him.Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious (神秘的） stranger who helped me out of my smashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.

I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply indebted to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in perspective (观点） . I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.

I trembled. The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in a shady dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and brought faith back into my life.

I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand with a pen mark underlining “In God We Trust.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.

1.Why did the man come to this restaurant?

A.To get travel tips from the brochures. B.To have delicious clam chowder.

C.To spy on the waitress. D.To say thanks.

2.What can best describe the man?

A.Brave. B.Honest. C.Generous. D.Transformed.

3.What does the waitress probably want the man to know the most?

A.He is grateful to her. B.He changed her perspective on life.

C.She could have died in a car accident. D.She remembers who he is.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.A Happy Accident B.Two Sorrowful People

C.A Mysterious Stranger D.Never Too Late to Say “Thank You”

How to Survive Anything

Stay calm. We're going to get through this together. Here, our experts' guide for dealing with life's everyday frustration and scariest danger.

How to Survive an Awkward Conversation

Somehow, you're sitting next to the only person at the party you've never met, and the mood is definitely uneasy. How do you draw him or her out?

♦ 1.. The other person will fell a wave of positive feelings, and you will be more likely to remember him or her later as the person with the ''nice hat''. Win-win.

♦ Have an escape plan. The phrases ''I won't keep you'' and ''Give my regards to mutual acquaintance'' are your friends. 2.

How to Survive a Plane Crash

The smallest bump (颠簸) feels like an earthquake at 35,000 feet. 3.-----and with a few simple precautions, you can make it a little lower.

♦ Forget first class. Passengers seated behind the wings had a 69 percent chance of survival,4. That’s the finding of a recent study of 20 commercial jet crashes. If you truly fear flying, it's worth giving up the legroom for some peace of mind in the back.

♦ Don't take masks lightly. During a loss of cabin pressure, 5. Listen to your flight attendants: Always secure your oxygen mask before helping others. You can't help if you can't breathe.

A.Open with praise

B.Try to like the other person

C.But the plane crash death rate is at an all-time low

D.compared with just 49 percent for those in first class

E.When the conversation reaches a dead end, employ them

F.you ought to pull yourself together and stay calm under such situation

G.the drop in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds

    Role models are powerful. No matter what stage of life you’re at, it’s good to have someone who encourages you to be the best version of yourself. Recent winners of national commendations mean we have a wider range of possible role models.

As part of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) on Sept 17 to award 42 people the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles, China Daily reported. Recipients come from various backgrounds, including scientists, lawmakers, educators, artists, model workers and six non-Chinese individuals. All have made big contributions to the nation’s construction and development.

Chinese scientist Tu Youyou is one of the eight who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. Tu, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize for her discovery of the malaria drug artemisinin (抗疟药物青蒿素), is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She has saved millions of lives worldwide. She has also made important scientific innovation in traditional Chinese medicine.

“It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits,” Tu once wrote in the science journal Nature Medicine.

Tu is not the only one who has given her life to the country’s development. Nan Rendong, before his death in 2017, led the research and development of China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, the world’s largest radio telescope. He worked on the project for more than 20 years. The facility he designed helps humans search for extraterrestrial civilizations (外星文明) and marked a Chinese technological milestone. His contributions to Chinese astronomy earned him the title, “the people’s Scientist.”

Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China’s prosperity. Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, an honoree of the Friendship Medal, is an advocate of the Belt and Road Initiative. Having worked to strengthen the friendship between French and Chinese people in the past decades, he told Xinhua that he is “sincerely pleased” with the honor. “To work for this friendship is to work for peace,” Raffarin said.

Thanks to the great efforts made by these heroic figures, we can live in a prosperous and peaceful country. Hopefully these role models can also light the way for future nation buildings.

1.What’s the main purpose of the article?

A.To express thanks to national heroes.

B.To tell readers what makes a good role model.

    The fact that your hair turns grey because of stress is nothing more than an old wives' tale. It's true that stress isn't good for you, but it's not going to turn you into a silver fox just yet. In fact, the answer comes from the cells in your hair. These are what decide the color and, eventually, the fade to grey.

Most of us start to notice our first grey hairs by the time we hit our thirties. A general rule to go by is that by the age of 50, half of the population will have lost the color in 50 percent of their hair.

But why does it happen? Firstly, we need to understand how hair gets its color.

Your hair is made up of cells called melanocytes (黑色素细胞) which produce pigments (色素) as they grow into the hair fiber. There are two different types of melanins: eumelanins and pheomelanins. The former produces black and brown pigments, while the latter produces red and yellow pigments. The exact amount of these pigments decide whether a person has black, brown, blonde or red hair.

As we age, the ability of the melanocytes to produce more pigments weakens. That's because our hair grows in different periods.

The growing period lasts between three and five years, after which our follicles (毛囊) turn off for about three months to rest and get ready to grow more hairs. This goes round and round and, after a time, our bodies aren't as good at producing new hairs.

Scientists are continuing to try and find ways to prevent greying hair. A team of scientists in France is working to try and stop the melanocytes from being damaged at the end of each hair cycle. They are trying to use a special enzyme (酶) to protect the cells from damage. If successful, it could lead the way for new products that keep our hair full of color for years to come.

1.What does the phrase ''an old wives' tale'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.A wrong belief B.A useful talk

C.A scientific rule D.A helpful experience

2.What do we know about red hair?

A.It doesn’t turn grey as people get older.

B.It contains more pheomelanins than eumelanins.

C.The amount of pigments in it doesn't change over time.

D.People with red hair have weaker ability to produce pigments.

3.What do the French scientists aim to do?

A.To repair damaged hair follicles.

B.To protect hair cells against damage.

C.To shorten the hair cycle to protect the hair.

D.To study the relationship between health and hair color.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Grey Hair: a Symbol of Huge Pressure.

B.Grey Hair: a Symbol of Declining Health.

C.Cells: the Cause of New Hair Growth.

D.Cells:the Cause of Color Change of Hair.

    Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食)---on the roof of their house.

Now a seven-grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for traveling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse launched a passion in her that has yet to run out of fuel.

So, when her teacher, Andrea Smeeton, received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her research,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density of astronauts and how to have sustenance on Mars.”

“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” said Dobek. Dobck’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to accommodate the need for abundant supplies. She explains how her spacecraft—the Adventurer—will get into a space station before flying to the MSS to get supplies. Her design includes the SGF or SelfGrowing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.

Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobck’s design. A. simulator (模拟器) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings, she says, so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes. Chief among her immediate goals, she said, is to inspire with this project. want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should kind of just push for it. They should always try their best.”

1.What launched Dobek’s passion for space and the universe?

A.Winning the national challenge.

B.Observing the lunar eclipse with her father.

C.Studying with her teacher Andrea Smeeton.

D.Designing a space station for traveling to Mars.

2.How can astronauts entertain themselves in Dobek’s design?

A.By exercising in outer space. B.By playing virtual reality games.

C.By appreciating places on Earth. D.By enjoying shows of their homes.

3.What is Dobek’s major aim with her project?

A.To realize her immediate goals.

B.To create a leisure design for astronauts.

C.To get inspired by the national challenge.

D.To encourage others to pursue their interest.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A.New Space Station Design

B.Leisure Activities for Astronauts

C.7th-grader Won National Prize

D.Patient Teacher Motivated Innovation.

    Knowing what not to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we compiled a list of things you should remember at hotel checkout.

1. Don’t be late to checkout

Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.

2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe

Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.

3. Don’t freak out

Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.

4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借记卡)

Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.

5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab

If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.

1.What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?

A.Negotiate a potential price.

B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation.

C.Charge extra money.

D.Give the room to other customers.

2.What should you do when the receptionist meets angry customers?

A.Spit at the assistant manager. B.Argue with the front desk.

C.Show understanding to the situation. D.Go much further away from it.

3.Why is it a good idea to use a ride-sharing service to get to the airport?

A.It helps the cab save dollars.

B.It reduces the burden of the hotel.

C.It is easy to get a charge back.

D.It costs the customers less money.

Dear Editor,

I'm writing to tell you about a shocked incident that happened in Beijing Zoo in the afternoon of Feb 23rd. I was visiting the zoo that afternoon while I heard bears roaring terribly. I hurried to the place where the bears lived at. I saw the black bear badly injured and one of them rolling on the ground painfully. It was hurt too serious to move a foot.

The people around are shocked, angry and blaming the wrongdoer. I learned that was a student from a famous university in Beijing who caused the trouble. He poured sulphuric acid(硫酸) onto the bears, or pretending to feed them.

What an shame! Animals are our friends and something must be done to prevent them from being injured.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
