    Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night, unusually awake and excited. 1. . That's really frustrating. However, there is no need to worry. Here are some effective ways to help you fall asleep again.

Remain in bed. For you to fall asleep, your heart rate needs to slow down. When you get up, your heart rate goes up. So, avoid going to the bathroom during the night if you can. Do not eat too little or too much for dinner. Do not drink and fill your bladder （膀胱）before bed. 2. . It may make you fall asleep faster, but it may also disrupt

your sleep later in the night.

Stay in the dark. When you cannot sleep, LED lights on printers and cable boxes may be the reason. The same is true for light streaming in through cracks in curtains. 3.. You should cover lights with tape and wear a sleep mask. A popular choice has deep eye cups so your eyes can open and shut while you wear them.

Quiet your mind. Try ways to relax, such as deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness exercises. 4. . The point is to keep your brain busy with something that is not demanding and is relaxing.

5. . If your wake-up time is 6:30 a.m. and your clock reads 3:00 a.m., do not think Oh no! I have only three hours left! Instead, say to yourself Oh great! I have three more hours to sleep!

You have a problem if you wake three times a week for more than three months. It may affect your quality of life. You need to find a sleep expert who can help identify the cause and fix it.

A.Think in a positive way.

B.Maintain a calm attitude.

C.They may keep you awake.

D.Most importantly, avoid alcohol in the evening.

E.You can do simple math problems in your head.

F.Getting up to do some mild exercise is also helpful.

G.Tossing and turning in bed, they are unable to fall asleep.

    Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. It's hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in humans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.

Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human health.

Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation （吸入）using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency's reported respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.

The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. "This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact." Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate "the accumulative human exposure" to microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the food and drink that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans' caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.

For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But to the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.

1.What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?

A.The quality. B.The quantity.

C.The shape. D.The size.

2.How did Kieran Cox's team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?

A.By studying papers. B.By comparing the impacts.

C.By analyzing the data. D.By conducting experiments.

3.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A.Drinking less plastic bottled water helps to take in fewer microplastics.

B.The study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplastics.

C.Cox's team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.

D.People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.The Potential Problems of Microplastics

B.Microplastics Coming From Various Sources

C.Microplastics Found Within Human Bodies

D.The Impact of Microplastics on Human Health

    Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing （冲洗）off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.

The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.

But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.

The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli （大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.

To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.

1.People don't accept USDA's advice because____.

A.the advice is relatively new

B.cleaning seems more trustworthy

C.cooks clean the turkey before cooking it

D.heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food

2.What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?

A.Food packages carry germs.

B.Hands and surfaces are easy to get E. coli.

C.Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.

D.Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.

3.Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?

A.Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.

B.Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.

C.Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.

D.Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.

4.From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?

A.Culture. B.Science.

C.Education. D.Medicine.

    Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers. The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. That's right― during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.

But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. "Running at an amazing pace," Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, “Help! He took my phone and laptop!"

At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot （赃物）in a backyard.

No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.

The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. ''Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat," Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities."

1.Why do the group members gather together?

A.To do some stretching. B.To have a regular run.

C.To deliver a lecture. D.To cover some topics.

2.What does the underlined word "sprinted" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Dashed. B.Pushed.

C.Jumped. D.Escaped.

3.We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to____ .

A.the assistance of the runners B.the owner of the row house

C.the campus police on patrol D.the joint efforts of the people

4.Which of the following best describes Cassidy?

A.Athletic and generous. B.Courageous and ambitious.

C.Helpful and humorous. D.Thoughtful and demanding.

    The first year of college is vital for setting students up for success, laying a strong foundation for the rest of college and beyond. Research shows that if you finish your first year and sign up for the second, you're far more likely to get that degree. 1. Here's what the experts recommend.

Go to college on purpose. 2. It means spending as long as four years and taking up

a large amount of your family's income. Simply going because everyone told you so puts you more at risk of having Just some college and no degree."Don't just go to college because your school counselor or your parents told you to go," says Yolanda Watson Spiva, who runs the non-profit organization Complete College America." 3."

Make a connection with a staff member. You can lean on any college staff member connected with the college to learn the ropes of the institution. 4.. Research has shown that having one strong connection with staff members can make you feel engagednand supported throughout college. They can also result in strategic career advice and networking opportunities.

5.Start with your classes work on assignments together or form a study group. Join clubs and organizations-let the organizational framework of those meetings ease the awkwardness of scheduling the first friend date. Don’t beat yourself up if it doesn,'t happen right away. Keep reaching out. If someone else says hi, respond!

A.So how do you get through the first year ?

B.Pick your classes wisely and map out your path.

C.Going to college takes time and money.

D.Find a group of friends who support you.

    A robot designed to carry things moves quickly across a field to gather equipment at a sports event. Such equipment, like javelins and discuses (铁饼), has been thrown by competitors. Another robot moves a human-sized screen on wheels. It is designed to permit virtual attendance at the event. And then there are the robots designed to look like the smiling, friendly creatures or mascots that act as the Olympic Games’representatives.

All these robots are part of preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corporation presented the machines to reporters earlier this week. Toyota is a major supporter of the 2020 Olympic Games.

The mascot robots have moving arms and legs, and their eyes change to the image of stars and hearts. They cannot speak at all or walk very well. But Tomohisa Moridaira, lead engineer, suggested several possibilities, such as getting the robot to hold the Olympic torch using magnets.

The field support robot" is a small bus-shaped machine based on a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle that is still in development. The field support robot can travel as fast as 20 kilometers per hour. It holds three cameras and one special sensor that lets it surroundings. Around the top of its body are special lights that brighten when the vehicle is active. Its artificial intelligence helps it avoid barriers. It is also able to vary its path in order to protect areas of grass.

However, it cannot find the objects, which can weigh up to eight kilograms, or pick them up on its own. A person has to travel with the device, pick up the objects and put them in it. Then, with a press of a button, the vehicle transports the equipment to where it needs to go.

Takeshi Kuwabara took charge of the robots’ development. He said it was designed to team robots and humans. "Our aim was to leverage the strengths of both humans and robots," he said.

The carmaker plans to use the games to present its new vehicle technologies. These include buses fueled by a special kind of battery, and self-driving taxis. Toyota is competing with other carmakers and technology companies to develop low cost , robot-controlled cars and electric vehicles.

    The official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds---as well as customer-service robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.

Called "starfish”by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses(大厅) connected to a main hall, Daxing Airport aims to reduce the walking distance for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters (about eight minutes of walking) between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gate.

This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big C-shaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore, it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.

To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards with the themes" Silk Garden", "Tea Garden"," Porcelain Garden", "Countryside Garden" and "Chinese garden" feature at the end of the five departure lounges(等候室) for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to capture face photos and relay them in each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.

China is projected to overtake the United States as the world's biggest air travel market by 2022. The "modest"initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025. The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year through the airport.

1.Why is the airport in a starfish-shaped design?

A.To hold as many passengers as possible.

B.To make the main hall easier to be found.

C.To keep security checkpoints effective.

D.To make boarding gates within easy reach.

2.What can the airport’s lighting system be described as?

A.High-end. B.Strangely-formed.

C.Passenger-friendly. D.Energy-saving.

3.What can be inferred about the five outdoor courtyards?

A.They reflect the Chinese tradition

B.They use popular technique.

C.They promote Chinese goods to people.

D.They follow the latest world trend.

4.What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate ?

A.The airport's market. B.The airport’s project.

C.The airport's potential. D.The airport’s facilities.

    The two giant pandas living at Ouwehands Dierenpark in the Dutch city of Rhenen staged a charming debut(初次登台) for hundreds of long- awaited admirers on Tuesday afternoon.

After six weeks since their arrival on April 12, Wu Wen, the female giant panda made tentative steps into her outdoor enclosure(围场). She threw herself at the first bamboo plant. she saw and started to chew. Xing Ya, the male, sat on a rock to enjoy the early summer sunshine. Wu Wen and Xing Ya, both three-and-a-half-year old, will stay at Ouwehands for 15 years. Native to south central China, they belong to a species which counts only 1,864 individuals.

" Both are in perfect health and adapt well to their new home, " said Zhang Hongwen, chief economist of China’s National Forestry and Grassland Administration."I am glad to see that Wu Wen and Xing Ya are so popular in the Netherlands. Their stay will surely promote Sino-Dutch cooperation relating to the protection of forest and biodiversity.

Martijn van Dam, Dutch State Secretary for Economic Affairs, Sad, "From today on, Dutch children will get to know Wu Wen and Xing Ya.They can get inspired by all the beautiful and powerful things nature has offered.

China has succeeded in stopping the decline of the number of pandas. China also makes efforts to maintain the natural habitat of the giant pandas. We would also like to contribute to that."

He stressed, "Wu Wen and Xing Ya underline these good developments. Let this be a sign of hope that with joint forces we can protect our nature worldwide, and let this be the beginning of a wave of inspiration for the new generation."

Tyra Winters was a high school student in Texas. One day, she was marching towards her home after the school day. As she slowly made her way down the street, the 17-year-old was enthusiastically planning the coming weekend party with her best friends, thinking of all the music, laughter, and excitement.

All of a sudden, a horrific scream was heard in the street. Turning back, Winters saw a boy about two years old lying on the sidewalk. And his wild mother was begging for help. “Someone help me, someone help me”. The little boy, Clarke Hornback, as his mother told, had been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth. It was stuck in his throat and blocked his windpipe (气管). Clarke’s face was bright red. “There was no coughing; there was no breathing!” Clarke’s mother, Nicole Hornback cried in great panic.

The crowds soon gathered around the poor boy and the mother. The boy was just gasping (喘气) for air. No one seemed to know how to help.

Except for Winters, who had always had dreams of becoming a surgeon for children! She had learned the first aid knowledge for treating choking. It was time for her to save the boy’s life. Knowing that the clock was ticking, she ran to the child.

Paragraph 1:

By the time Winters got to Clarke, the boy’s face had tuned purple.

Paragraph 2:

It all happened so fast that Nicole even had no time to thank the girl.

    When you felt thankful, you can consider writing a thank - you note. It’s a good way to show and share your gratitude. The person you are writing will be happy to know that their actions made a difference. 1.

Use a greeting.

2. It addresses the person who is being written to. “Dear…” is a popular greeting. You might want to use this if you’re writing to a teacher, a caregiver or another grown - up. If you’re writing a note to a friend or classmate, you can use a casual greeting, such as “ Hello …” “ Hi …”.

3.

In a thank you note, it’s a good idea to get right to your point! Begin your letter with a sentence that states that you are thankful and what you are thankful for. Here are a few ideas for how to begin this first sentence: “Thank you so much for…” “I am grateful for. . .” “I want to express my gratitude for... ”

Be specific.

After you’ve explained what you are grateful for, use details. Specific examples will help explain why you are grateful. The details here will depend on your own experience. The most important part is sharing how the person’s behavior made you feel. It’s okay to be brief! You don’t have to write pages and pages. 4.

Use a complimentary close.

Sign off with a complimentary close. That’s the word or phrase that appears right before your signature at the bottom of a letter. Popular closings include “Sincerely,” “Warm Wishes” and “With Gratitude. ”

Finally, double - check that there are no errors. 5. Once your note is on its way to the reader, you can just enjoy the good feelings that follow when you practice gratitude.

A.Write a draft on paper first.

B.Open with a thankful statement.

C.When you’re done, it’s time to send it off!

D.Receiving the note will brighten their day.

E.The greeting of a letter goes at the very top.

F.A short note can still be specific and heartfelt.

G.Here are a few tips for writing a thoughtful thank you note.

    Australia’s bush fires are threatening the country’s unique wildlife —from koalas to native birds to bees —and researchers fear that some species are being pushed to the brink of extinction. The fires have killed at least 26 people, burned thousands of homes and could shave as much as 0. 4% of economic growth, according to some experts.

More than 13,000 head of livestock have been killed by the fires in New South Wales state, where more than 20,000 square miles of land has been burned. The fires threaten to rage on into February—summer - time in Australia —or longer.

Scientists say at least six species are in danger. “There’s great concern that these fires may have pushed species closer to extinction or potentially over,” said Deakin University wildlife ecologist Euan Ritchie. “We won’ t know until we get into the areas,” he said.

Some scientists are concerned about a metallic - green bee that lives exclusively in areas that have been ravaged by fire, along Australia’s east coast and on Kangaroo Island in the south. Researchers suspect the green carpenter bee has been wiped out on Kangaroo Island.

“The species is likely to be in terrible conditions, as all of its habitat has now either burnt or is threatened by fire,” said Katja Hogendoorn, a bee expert at the University of Adelaide, who has been working for half a decade to preserve the population of green carpenter bees on Kangaroo Island.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph One?

A.The wildlife is well protected in Australia.

B.The fires also damage Australian economy.

C.The bush fires have lasted for a long time.

D.The bush fires are frequent in Australia.

2.How might Euan Ritchie feel about ecological losses?

A.Curious. B.Concerned.

C.Unexpected. D.Surprised.

3.Why are scientists worried about the metallic - green bee?

A.It will all be burnt to death. B.It is gradually dying out.

C.It might lose its natural home. D.It will move to other places.

4.Where might you find this text?

A.In a story book. B.In a textbook.

C.In a newspaper. D.In a traveling guide.

    In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business, but he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. He was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.

In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy films ready - made in rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. The invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshot”.

Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.

Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

1.What was special about Daguerre’s pictures?

A.They were used for his business.

B.They were clearer than Niepce’s.

C.They were the first colored pictures.

D.They were for an artistic purpose.

2.What can we learn about Mathew Brady?

A.He took pictures of American Civil War.

B.He was the first to photograph people.

C.He invented a new type of camera.

D.He was a hero during the Civil War.

3.What made photography accessible to common people?

A.The handheld camera.

B.The ready - made films in rolls.

C.Newspapers and magazines.

D.Popularity of travelling.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.The history the film industry.

B.The invention of camera.

C.The development of photography.

D.The role of photographs.

    We know it’s good to learn another language，and it’s fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure 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 earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available.

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 tasks. But they’re not perfect — you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.

So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He thought that apps should be used alongside traditional classroom methods. And he adds: “The apps are not formal. . . they’re 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 devoted. Motivation can be a problem when using an app. But if you have a genuine and practical reason to learn another language, you will no doubt stick with it.

1.What is the benefit of language learning apps?

A.You can learn with a partner.

B.You needn’t pay any money.

C.They provide grammar lessons.

D.They meet your personal demands.

2.What do the underlined words refer to in Paragraph 3?

A.Languages. B.Learning apps.

C.Universities. D.Teachers.

3.What is Guy Baron’s opinion about the learning apps?

A.They are of no help to learners.

B.They will replace traditional teaching.

C.They provide the most effective resources.

D.They should be combined with classroom methods.

4.Which does the author think is important in using the learning apps?

A.The instructor. B.Confidence.

C.The classroom. D.Motivation.

Teenage summer camps

We helped on a nature reserve (保护区) for a week. We did different things every day, including cutting the reeds (芦苇) by the lake. Every day, we took turns to cook, in teams of five. When it was our team’s turn, we made a simple dinner of pasta and salad for everyone. Judging by the fact that there was none left, we didn’t do too badly!

—Adam

We stayed with families who had kids of our own age, and because they were on a mid - term break, they came with us on all the trips. So except when we were actually in a language class, we were spending time with our new friends. It was a great way to practice English we had been working on in the classroom.

—Oliver

Every morning we had the same breakfast, and then cleaned up the camp. When it was all completely tidy, we could head off for the day. The first time we went into the city, we were put into teams and given lists of things to spot, like statues, squares and other landmarks. With some help from the locals, my team found almost all of the things on our list and came second. We went to different museums and galleries in and around the city every day. It was a great chance to learn about another country and its history.

—Sarah

A.It didn’t taste good. B.It was very popular.

C.It was healthy. D.No one liked it.

2.What did Oliver find great?

A.Staying with the local families. B.Helping the kids learn English.

C.Making friends with the locals. D.Practising English with the native.

 The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment. So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

In 2007 organizers over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches(游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood. The World Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

*Don't leave the tap running.

*Turn off lights when you leave a room.

*Turn off your computer every night.

*Wash your clothes, and yourself, in warm or cold water, not hot water.

*Dishwashers use as little water as possible. If we all do at least 20 of these all the time, we can make a big difference.

1.What is the purpose for people to set up Earth Day?

2.When is Earth Day?

3.What should people do when the water keeps running from a tap?

4.Does the word “dishwashers” mean “machines for washing dishes”?

5.Besides the five, what else can you do to save our environment? (One example is OK.)

    How can you tell when Valentine’s Day (情人节) is coming? All those heart-shaped chocolate boxes in the store are a good clue (线索). So are those boxes actually shaped like the heart inside your body?

In fact, your heart is not shaped like a heart. It looks more like a peach. It is about the size of your fist (拳头). In most cases, it is in the left of your chest (胸口). The human heart weighs about 250 grams. When a man is in a quiet state, his heart beats about 70 times a minute. When a person does very hard exercise, his heart beats can reach 150 to 180 times each minute.

The heart is one of the most important organs(器官) in the human body. It is made up of four “rooms”. When your heart contracts, the “rooms” get smaller. The main function (功能) of the heart is to provide pressure for blood flow and run blood to all parts of the body. When your heart relaxes, blood will come back into your heart and “rooms” get bigger.

Your heart keeps pumping blood throughout your body. It transports important nutrients to all the areas of your body. The health of the heart is very important to us. Please take care of your heart. Do you agree with my opinion?

1.When _______________is coming, many heart-shaped chocolate boxes will be put in the store.

A.the Mid-Autumn Day B.National Day C.the Tomb-Sweeping Day D.Valentine’s Day

2.The human heart is shaped like _______________.

A.a heart-shaped chocolate box B.a room C.a peach D.a fist

3.In most cases, your heart is in the _______________of your chest.

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Your heart is about as big as your fist.

B.The heart is an important organ in the human body.

A.tell us the shape of our heart B.show us the function of our heart

C.explain how big our heart is D.ask us to look after our heart

    Computers can help us in many ways, but they cannot think or do things on their own. Humans have to feed them with information and tell them what to do. They cannot come up with any new information, but they can save much time and work. For example, all the information and the office files (文件) can be stored in a computer’s “memory”.

The first computers were huge and expensive. They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices. Later, scientists found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers. They invented chips (芯片) which made it possible to store more information in less space.

Today, computers are not only cheaper, but also more compact. They can just be placed on top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place to place easily. Computers are not only used in offices by companies, but are used at home by families who can afford them.

Robots are only moving parts controlled by computers. A robot can do the same work as a person for 24 hours without complaining or getting tired.

In Japan and some places in America, robots are used in factories to assemble (装配) cars. As computers become more and more common in businesses and factories, people fear that one day computers and computer-controlled robots will put human workers out of work.

1.What were the first computers like?

A.Small and cheap B.Huge and expensive

C.Small and expensive D.Huge but cheap

2.The underlined phrase “more compact” can be replaced by “_______________”.
