I often studied late into the night and choose not to have breakfast. So, I could have a few extra minutes on bed. Felt hungry in class, I found it difficult to concentrate on my lessons. What's worse, I was even failed in one of the most important exam. Now, I have realized that breakfast, that can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy, plays key role. Therefore, it is necessary for we students to start a new day with a regularly breakfast.

To most Chinese people, the 2020 Lunar New Year has been quite different from any previous Spring Festival. Due to the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreaks, most people are staying at home, while some were infected. Although it's difficult for many of us to perform our normal duties, we should hold the belief that there are always more approaches that can be found to solve problems. 1. Read books If you choose a good book, it can help you enjoy a whole day at home. 2. And your vocabulary could be enlarged as well. Personally, paper copies are recommended. The touch and smell of real paper has no digital replacement. 3. Everyone can pick up a brush and write something, even if it may look very ugly at first. But the point of such practice is not to write beautiful characters. It's about enhancing your ability to calm down and focus, as you must breathe deeply to keep your hands from shaking. One good option to start with is copying classic texts. Listen to classic music Chopin, Mozart, Bach. Any of these great musicians could stun you with their rich legacy. Now, there are many online audio lessons that can help you appreciate classical music. 4. His humorous and informative lessons have attracted many music lovers. Another audio lesson about classical music is a violinist Peng Guanglin, who also teaches at Taiwan Soochow University. Cook good dishes 5. When you temporarily lose your outdoor options, make sure you eat well. There are many recipes in Chinese cuisine to try, and you can follow video blogger Li Ziqi to get more ideas. She posts videos from an idyllic life in the country, and will undoubtedly serve as excellent inspiration. A.Keep away from those who were infected. B.One is from Duan Zhaoxu, a male pianist and a teacher at Beijing Normal University. C.Once you have to go out, remember to wear face masks. D.The ability of your brain to process words could be greatly improved through reading. E.Practice calligraphy F.Here are four activities you could try to get away from the boredom. G.For most people, a happy day consists of at least two things: good food and sound sleep.
Street dances are dance styles that evolved (演变)outside of dance studios in any available open space.They are often improvisational (即兴的）and social in nature, encouraging interaction and contact with audiences and the other dancers.These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area.Some examples of street dances include b-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City. Street dances are dances that evolve between people in a social environment, although it cannot be always determined as to how they actually do evolve between people.In theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, the other person tries to copy that move.Similar to the game of Chinese whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancers creating their own style or entirely new moves. There is a small difference between entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance.While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if it’s based on someone else’s dance style) , a full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance.For example, when b-boying evolved out of the early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves，and other people improved them.Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are now and then practiced and regarded as the same dance.All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as b-boying. Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific (具体的）people.One example is locking, which is often regarded as being started by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance.Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people, since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record.Street dance pioneers also rarely have professional degrees in dance, thus distinguishing street dances from other modern dance forms. 1.Paragraph 1 is intended to tell us the _________of street dances. A. varieties B. changes C. characteristics D. distributions 2.What do we know about street dances? A. Dancers perform them in dance studios. B. They are developed by professional dancers. C. They are collected from different moves and styles. D. Dancers create moves based on other people’s moves. 3.Chinese Whispers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to_________. A. stress a street dancer's own style B. show the effect of Chinese Whispers C. introduce a popular Chinese game D. explain the characteristics of street dances 4.The passage is probably taken from__________. A. a travel journal B. a history textbook C. a popular magazine D. a museum brochure
Artificial intelligence (Al) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer(癌症)in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches Al at the University of Southern California's (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how Al and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn."…You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition. That's important to make decisions.” David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that "machines are not going to take the place of doctors." Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can't recognize these patterns by itself." Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue (动植物细胞的组织)，put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells . That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say Al can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. "A11 of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time... We couldn't have done this, we didn't have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it's all changed." Agus adds that the process could be done "for almost no cost in the developing world.” He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine . The University of Southern California researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict Al will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 1.Many diseases like breast cancer will soon be ______. A.cured with Al B.treated with Al C.prevented with Al D.removed with Al 2.What can we infer from Agus' s words in Paragraph 3? A.Al technology is to replace doctors. B.Computers can be an aid to the human brain. C.Computers can work well with little information. D.Al technology is not accessible to developing countries. 3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Helping to count cells. B.Recognizing complex patterns. C.Making a quick and right identification. D.Learning how the cells are organized. 4.What does this passage mainly talk about? A.Research in breast cancer. B.Potential of Al for doctors. C.Imagination about Al' s future. D.Achievements on medical care.
I always dreamed of studying abroad, to learn at a world-class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day. To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China. There were a number of reasons behind it﹣its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development. So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master’s degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family. This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship（实习） which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization（CCG）. It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made. 1.The writer writes the first paragraph mainly to ________. A.encourage people to pursue dreams B.summarize the main idea of the text C.explain the reason for writing the passage D.add some background information 2.What is the most important reason for the author coming to China？ A.China's rich culture. B.His curiosity. C.China's advanced education system. D.His family's support. 3.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A.He is most proud of studying in China. B.He wants to be a researcher in the future. C.He plans to work in China after graduation. D.He found a job upon arriving in Beijing. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text？ A.Learning and working in China B.Travel experiences in China C.Realization of dreams in China D.Importance of having dreams

For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. Corned beef (咸牛肉）, bacon, green beans, and hundreds of other foods were preserved with salt.1. Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria. What does salt have to do with bacteria? Two things: First, bacteria need moisture (水分）to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria die. 2. If you cover food with salt or very salty liquid, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt that goes inside. 3. For meat or fish,you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well, leaving a salt crust (盾）all over the outside. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to put food into very salty water, called brine (卤水）.4. The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a kind of brine that the food sits in. Today, in most parts of the world, salting, is no longer necessary. 5. But even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, corned beef or salted beans. A.So how do you preserve food with salt? B.Next, it can make food too salty to eat. C.Second, salt is poisonous to many bacteria. D.But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked. E.You can alternate layers of food and salt in a big jar. F.People buy food in cans, keep it in the refrigerator, or freeze it. G.They use salt to preserve meat, fish, vegetables, and even fruit.
Imagine you are floating in space on a huge NASA spacecraft. A satellite is on a collision course with your spaceship. You have just been told by your commanders on Earth to evacuate. You and your teammates have to make rapid decisions for your escape and survival. Engaging children in a NASA mission (任务) is a lesson that 23 pre-service teachers (职前教师)were taught to carry out at a recent Pre-Service Teacher Institute (PSTI) summer workshop (讲习班)at NASA’s Ames Research Center. At this two-week workshop, these college students were given hands-on activities designed to increase their skills in teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) . They were shown how to include NASA missions and research into their lesson plans. They met with NASA engineers and were given tours of NASA facilities (设施)by the latter to help them develop and teach a problem-based lesson to children. “NASA is pleased to support college students who want to teach STEM to young children,” said Lewis Braxton, director of the research center. “It was exciting to see PSII students fully engaged in developing new skills in STEM to meet the challenges of a space-related teaching task,” said Steve Price, the principal investigator of PSTI at California State University, Fresno. “PSTI has provided me with the necessary tools and techniques to fully develop my skills as a teacher. I’ll use what I’ve learned to help my students succeed in their studies,” said Elijah Carnillo, one of the pre-service teachers. 1.What does the underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Withdraw. B.Wait. C.Follow. D.Resist. 2.What is the purpose of the PSTI workshop? A.To invite students to engage in NASA missions. B.To encourage graduates to work at NASA. C.To introduce the latest space technology. D.To help with space-related STEM teaching. 3.What did NASA engineers do for the PSTI students? A.They graded their homework. B.They adjusted their work schedules. C.They built them a spacecraft model. D.They showed them some space equipment. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.PSTI: Getting You Ready for Your Class B.STEM: The Key to a Successful Career C.Space: The Final Homework Frontier D.NASA: The Home of Astronauts
Picture this: You’re playing soccer with friends. As you kick the ball, you realize the bottom of your foot feels cold and wet. You turn your sneaker up to look at the sole (鞋底). A big crack(裂缝) is letting water from the ground in. When you get home, you throw your ruined sneakers away. Now imagine another ending to the story. You don’t throw the sneakers away. Instead, you push the two sides of the cracked sole together so they’re touching. You leave the sneaker in a warm spot. A few hours later, the crack disappears. Thanks to Qiming Wang, a professor at the University of Southern California, a self-healing (自我修复的) sneaker sole could soon become reality. Wang and his team have invented 3D printable rubber that could fix itself. When it’s exposed to heat, it causes a chemical reaction that bonds its atoms back together. The material could be used to3D print not only sneaker soles, but also toys, bike tires, even satellites. To 3D print a self-healing object, the first step is to make a model of it on the computer. The model is “divided” into 100 smaller pictures. This first picture is projected onto a thin laver (层) of the rubber, which starts as a liquid. The rubber takes on the shape of the picture, and the light from the projection turns it from liquid to solid. The next picture is projected on another layer of liquid rubber on top of the first one. The final, complete shape is built up layer by layer like this. Many footwear companies want to buy this technology. First, though, Wang and his team have to try to make the material in different levels of hardness. Wang thinks it will take two or three years for their material to show up in shoes we buy in stores. One exciting thing about the special rubber is the amount of waste it can reduce, Plus, it can self-heal “more than 10 times”. When it can’t heal anymore, it can be recycled. 1.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By asking questions for readers to think about. B.By presenting a possible situation in our life. C.By telling an interesting story about himself. D.By comparing different research findings. 2.What is the key to the self-healing process? A.Proper temperature. B.Strong light. C.Enough water. D.Fresh air. 3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The process of 3D printing a self-healing object. B.The steps to make the self-healing rubber. C.The material of self-healing objects. D.The advantages of 3D printing. 4.What do we know about the special rubber? A.It has a high price. B.It is environment-friendly. C.It has a very short usage period. D.It is being tried by footwear companies.
As a children's author and former English teacher, Abi Elphinstone has spent almost all of her life surrounded by the written word. Now an ambassador for the charity Coram Beanstalk, Ms Elphinstone plays a key role in championing the importance of literacy (读写能力）and the role played by its volunteers. The charity has teamed up with the i (a British newspaper) to increase the number of its helpers, which it sends into schools to give children aged 3 to 13 who have fallen behind with their reading or are at risk of doing so support with their reading. “I think there is an absolute need to reach kids who don't have access to books,” she said. “Just reading for 10 minutes a day improves a child’s achievement at school. Books show children the world is big and varied and full of wonder.” And Ms Elphinstone knows first-hand how tricky reading is from her own experience. “In class when the teacher said 'could you read aloud', the words would jump all over the page and I’d stumble （结巴）and lose so much confidence,” she said. “That was difficult. Until way after leaving school, I just assumed I needed to put in a lot more work than other people to finish an essay or process information.” Nowadays she thinks one of the biggest challenges is the competition books face from screens, which are being used by children for everything from videos and games to social media. “There's so much demand on their time and it’s such an easy, quick-fix demand,” she said. “It's immediate satisfaction. Screens are loud and books whisper with quieter magic, but I think the effects are transformative and they are longer lasting than a Screen.” This is where she thinks Coram Beanstalk can help, both with reading and also making children Feel valued. 1.Why did Coram Beanstalk work with the i ? A.To advertise its ambassador. B.To find more book donators. C.To attract more people to volunteer. D.To help increase the newspaper's subscription. 2.What is the goal of Coram Beanstalk? A.To teach children English. B.To encourage reading in children. C.To inspire children to write books. D.To improve children's social skills. 3.Which of the following Ms Elphinstone's school experience? A.She had limited access to books. B.She could hardly finish reading a book. C.She was afraid of reading loudly in public. D.She seldom handed in her class essay on time. 4.What's Ms Elphinstone's opinion on screens? A.They affect children in a quict way.

What To Do When You Break Your Smartphone? As you pick the smartphone you just dropped from the pavement, your mind races. You can't afford a new one. How will you check your Wechat (微信)messages? Here are some of the things you can try if you break your phone. 1. Smartphones are held together with screws(螺丝) and pins, which means in many cases, if you're handy enough, you can easily fix them. 2. One site in particular, ifixit.com, offers guides for replacing and fixing nearly every part of a wide variety of smartphones, ranging from the very first iPhone all the way to the iPhone 7Plus. Bring it to a repair shop Smartphone repair shops are all over the place these days. 3.Depending on the damage to your phone, the price for repairs can range anywhere from﹩29 to more than﹩250. Try selling your damaged phone So your phone is damaged, and you don't want to spend the money to get it fixed. Why not try selling it? 4..Gazelle, for example, will pay you﹩40 for a 16GB iPhone 5s with a broken display, while Glyde will pay you﹩142 for an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen. Buy a refurbished(翻新的) phone So you've sold your broken smartphone and now you've got some extra spending cash, but it's still nowhere near enough to cover the full cost of a new smartphone, which can run more than $600. 5.. Well, if preowned(二手的)phones don't bother you, you can buy a refurbished handset from any number of carriers or stores at a modest discount. A.What can you do? B.Get insurance next time. C.Try repairing it yourself. D.So why not see if one of these stores can fix your busted(损坏的) handset? E.In fact，there are entire websites designed to help you repair your own phone. F.How much you get for your damaged phone depends on the model and what kind of issues it has. G.And if they don't want your phone and you want to make sure that it's at least recycled，they'll do that too.
From my earlier memory of Mother, it seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady. I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish. “Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.” Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born. “I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again. In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out. 1.How did Father impress the author? A.He liked writing stories. B.He talked a lot. C.He was a very young man.

A.looked quite young B.looked like an old lady C.looked younger than she was D.looked like a 40-year-old woman 3.What does the underlined word “inquisitive” (in Paragraph 2) probably mean? A.Certain B.Curious. C.Cautious. D.Confident. 4.What do we learn about Mother? A.She was lazy. B.She was strict. C.She was proud. D.She was special.
