Water skiing

Water skiing is an exciting water sport that can be a ton of fun. You will get to have a happy and joyful adventure every time you go out on the water. 1. However, once you start, water skiing is a sport you can enjoy whenever you have a boat and enough flat water.

You will need to find at least two people to go with you on your water skiing adventure. You and everyone you go with will have more fun if the friends you go with also want to water ski. You need a boat, naturally. 4.

For your first time water skiing, you may want to either take a lesson from an expert or find a friend that has experience and is willing to teach you. 5. The observer rides in the boat, but watches the water skier for any signals and helps the driver know when to start and stop.

A.It’s no hard task to learn.

B.It takes a little patience to learn.

C.Of course, no one can water ski alone.

D.Once prepared, a skier can start the game on his own.

At some point in elementary school, your science teacher may explained to you that there are 365 days in a year because that's how long it takes for Earth to complete one full journey around the sun. What they might not have explained, however, is that it's not exactly 365 days—it’s actually closer to 365. 2421 days.

So, if we want our calendar year to begin right when Earth begins a new turn around the sun, we have to account for roughly an extra quarter of a day each year, or one day every four years. History.com reports that the Egyptians had already been doing this for a while before Europe finally caught on in 46 BC, when Roman Emperor Julius Caesar and astronomer Sosigenes put their heads together to come up with what we now call the Julian calendar, which includes 12 months, 365 days, and an additional ''leap day'' every four years on February 29.

But rounding 0.2421 up to 0.25 each year created an issue, because it didn't quite add up to a full day every four years—and that tiny difference meant that after 128 years, the calendar year ended up starting a day before Earth had completed its journey around the sun. By the 14th century, the calendar year was starting 10 days before Earth finished its orbit.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII sought to correct the error by suggesting that we simply skip a leap day every so often. His Gregorian calendar, which we still use today, rules that we skip the leap day during years which can be evenly divided (被整除) by 100 but not by 400. For instance, the year 2000 included a leap day because it can be divided by 100 and 400; the year 2100, on the other hand, will not include a leap day, since it's evenly divided by 100, but not by 400.

Gregory XIII’s correction to Caesar's overcorrection is itself a bit of an under-correction, so we'll probably need to reevaluate our leap day design again in about 10,000 years.

1.What do the underlined words ''put their heads together'' in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Come across each other. B.Bump their heads together.

C.Compete against each other. D.Combine their efforts.

2.According to Gregorian calendar, which year may include a leap day?

A.2100. B.1600.

C.1800. D.2020.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Emperor Julius Caesar was also an astronomer.

B.Today's calendar exactly agrees with the sun's turning.

C.The 10-day early start in calendar will always exist.

D.The Gregorian calendar is not yet the most accurate.

4.What's the purpose of this passage?

A.To point out a mistake made by your science teacher.

B.To explain how long Earth makes a trip around the sun.

C.To explain in detail why the leap day is needed.

D.To explain the reason why we need a calendar.

Unconfident children can improve their performance in math tests simply by saying nice things to themselves, a study suggests.

A total of 212 fourth to sixth graders, aged between 9 to 13 years old, took part in the research. The children completed a math test in two parts. At the end of the first half, researchers asked the first group of kids to talk to themselves about the amount of effort they would put into the second half of the test before carrying on. The children quietly told themselves: ''I will do my very best. '' Another group was told to consider their ability, by repeating the phrase: ''I am very good at this. '' The children were instructed to write down their given phrase, and repeat it to themselves while working on the problems, particularly when they found the work challenging. The rest of the children acted as the control group, and weren't required to say anything. A few days before completing the test, all the kids completed a survey on how they viewed their own and others' abilities.

Compared with kids who didn't do what is known as self-talking, those with low self-confidence who spoke about the effort they'd make did better in the second half of the test. The data led the researchers to conclude children who struggle with negative thoughts about their competence could improve their achievements in school by telling themselves they will put effort into a task.

However, the team said they did not find the same result among children with low self-confidence who spoke to themselves about ability, for self-talk about effort is the key. Meanwhile, they pointed out the findings may not relate to children of other ages, and more research is needed to explore this.

1.How was the research conducted?

A.By telling students to talk about their effort. B.By comparing three groups of students.

C.By instructing students to repeat phrases. D.By telling students not to say anything.

2.What conclusion did the researchers draw?

A.Students may benefit from talking about effort.

B.Students should talk about effort in the tests.

C.Students can benefit from talking about ability.

D.Self-talking helps all students do better in tests.

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that the research team is _________.

A.careless B.cautious

C.stubborn D.competitive

4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Entertainment. B.Health.

C.Education. D.Sports.

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, has an ancient competition with Chongqing, a city to its south-east. Residents of Chongqing accused their Chengdu cousins of being pompous (自大的). The people of Chongqing were hotheads, Chengdu residents shot back. Both cities share a love of spice-laden Sichuan cuisine, which in recent decades has occupied Chinese dinner tables. But they are at war over which has the best Sichuan hotpot—a type of DIY-cooking that involves boiling vegetables and slices of meat with chillies and numbing peppercorns.

A private museum in Chongqing, opened several years ago, makes the case for the Chongqing-style hotpot. It describes how it developed from a method used to make cheap offcuts of meat taste delicious. But Chengdu is playing catch-up. In January the city sold a plot of land on condition that the developer build a hotpot museum on part of it.

The two cities are among many in China with their own styles of hotpot. Hotpot restaurants in China are more profitable than other kinds. Haidilao, a well-known Sichuan-based hotpot chain, raised nearly $1bn when it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (股票交易所) in September.

Not all Chinese warm to hotpot. Some older Sichuanese refuse to be connected with it. They complain that it is causing overuse of chilli in other dishes that cover up the original genuine flavours.

But Chengdu’s plans for a museum suggest that Sichuan hotpot is not only growing in popularity, but is also becoming symbolic. If it can set the West on fire, officials may hope it will become a delicious new source of Chinese soft power. There will be plenty of glory for both Chengdu and Chongqing to take pride in if that happens.

1.Why are Chengdu and Chongqing competing with each other?

A.Because Chengdu people think Chongqing people are pompous.

B.Because Chengdu residents like to shoot back in battles.

C.Because they both think they are better at eating spicy food.

D.Because they both believe they have the best Sichuan hotpot.

2.What is the purpose of building a hotpot museum in Chengdu?

A.To compete with Chongqing. B.To advertise Sichuan cuisine.

C.To show their love for hotpot. D.To keep the hotpot tradition.

3.What can we infer about hotpot from the last paragraph?

A.The two cities have competed only in recent decades.

B.More hotpot museums will be built in the future.

C.Hotpot is already a source of Chinese soft power.

D.People hold a high expectation for hotpot culture.

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

A.Growing Popularity of Hotpot in Two Cities

B.Two Cities’ War Over Tastiest Sichuan Hotpot

C.“No Hotpot, No Happiness” True in Food Business

D.Private Museum in Chongqing Opened First

Paris is a museum city. There are hundreds of them, big and small. But, most importantly, they are excellent, some of the best on the planet. From the Louvre to the Musée d’Orsay to the Centre Pompidou, you could spend a lifetime wandering the halls of the city’s great museums. Here are some of the best museums in Paris.

The Louvre

The world’s ultimate museum is also the biggest one and the most visited. The 35,000 art objects on display are all overshadowed by one single painting—Mona Lisa, in the Renaissance era.

Jeu de Paume

Set in the Tuileries Gardens next to the Louvre, Jeu de Paume’s past lives were of a tennis court and then a museum which housed Impressionist art. Today it is Paris’s main photography and video museum. It also occasionally shows art-house films.

Musée d’Orsay

Housed in a former railway station on the Left Bank of the Seine, the museum opened in 1986 and today houses the planet’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks. If you like 19th-century natural landscapes with rural lives and tastes, this is the place to take it all in.

Musée du Quai Branly

As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism. There are objects from Quebec and Louisiana from the time when the regions were under French control. There are also Indian sculptures, masks from West Africa and other aesthetic delights.

1.Which is the best and most admired exhibit in the Louvre?

A.Mona Lisa. B.Renaissance.

C.Lady Era. D.Unknown.

2.Which museum houses Impressionist art nowadays?

A.Jeu de Paume. B.The Louvre.

C.Musée d’Orsay. D.Musée du Quai Branly.

3.Musée du Quai Branly is different from the other three in that _________.

The Good and Bad of Online Communication

Our need to communicate with each other is a constant driving force for new inventions.Online services and products are where most development in communication is happening. Now there are increasing options for when, where and how to communicate, and perhaps most importantly, with whom.

1. Nobody can see who they are or what they look like. Many people who are shy feel confident online. One user noted that everyone is equal online and this cannot be found in face-to-face meetings. When you meet someone in person, you immediately make judgments based on appearance. 2. Online, however, appearance, age and status all become unimportant, and this encourages users to be open and honest, which makes it a lot easier for people to make friends.

Apart from making friends online, the Internet can bring together like-minded people who want to discuss favourite topics. There are forums and chat rooms for just about any hobby, interest, special abilities or unusual taste you can imagine.

Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it. Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people, they will forget how to get on with people face to face. Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet. 4. Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them without friends or family knowing about it is very dangerous behaviour. Even when the worst dangers do not happen, simple lies can leave people disappointed. Then there is the problem of information being stolen. The Internet has led to a new type of criminal, cyber-criminals, who could easily take your information and could even be using your identity and password.

5. Most users seem to think it is.

A.Whenever or however you use the Internet, hackers will be a constant threat.

B.With all these dangers, is going online to communicate really worthwhile?

C.People love the freedom of the Internet.

D.However, going online also has a dark side.

E.Even a person's accent or choice of shoes forms a certain impression.

F.Most users said that going online had improved their lives.

G.Not all people seeking relationships online have innocent intentions.

A Massive Open Online Course (大规模开放在线课程) — known as a MOOC — is a kind of online platform offering various lessons to the public, which brings opportunity and help to those who are eager to learn more. Many countries are active participants in developing online courses, and China is not an exception.

In the past few years, China has made great progress on online education and the country is in a leading position worldwide. The China Internet Network Information Center said that 144 million people had taken up online education up to June 2017.

According to the Ministry of Education, there are more than 10 MOOC platforms in China, providing 3,200 online courses — which make China the world’s largest online course provider. 490 of them are high quality and national-level courses, and another 3,000 will be added by 2020. High quality online courses have raised students’ enthusiasm for learning and given them more freedom to choose subjects.

However, the explosive increase in the number of lessons and users also brings problems in lesson quality and network security. In addition, online courses are not properly combined with on-campus courses. Therefore, the ministry intends to roll out a development plan for online education at Chinese colleges, along with regulations and standards.

The ministry will create policies encouraging professors to use MOOCs in their teaching, and set rules on how college students gain credits(学分) for taking such courses in an effort to promote the training of talented people in Chinese institutions of higher education and to bridge the country’s regional inequality in education. Besides, professors who use MOOCs in their teaching can enjoy the same sense of honor as those who innovate teaching in other ways. At the same time, strict supervision will be used to stop the spread of harmful information and users’ personal information will also be protected. China will do more to make its online courses go global and show the world the country’s achievements in this field.

1.What can we learn about MOOCs?

A.They are gaining more and more users and courses.

B.They are designed for college students.

C.Just a few countries are developing them.

D.They are just free for the poor students.

2.Why does the Ministry of Education make regulations?

A.Students have little freedom to choose courses.

B.Different problems arise in online courses.

C.Many professors don’t use online courses in their teaching.

D.Online courses are not practical for college students.

3.What does the underlined word “supervision” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Truth. B.Teaching.

C.Themes. D.Rules.

4.Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A magazine.

C.A novel. D.A bulletin board.

As the Forbidden City approaches its 600th anniversary next year, a great change has been taking place, with dark and dusty corners of the palace brought back to their former glory for all to see. As recently as 2012, only 30 percent of the vast palace was open to the public. Now, 80 percent is accessible ― quickly filling with exhibition spaces, stylish restaurants and cafes, bookstores and highly profitable gift stores, as well as quiet walkways. Besides, great walls around it are now mostly open, allowing an overhead view of the grounds.

But even all that new space is not nearly enough to showcase(陈列) the treasures collected over the centuries by emperors. Now the Forbidden City can display only about 30,000 objects at a time, or 2 percent of its total.

By 2022, a new campus in the university district of Haidian, about 18 miles to the northwest, is scheduled to open to the public, a 153-acre area that will have room to show imperial carriages, carpets and regalia (礼服).

The museum staff members have also become more creative in using the space. During a visit, there was a show on how the imperial family celebrated the Chinese New Year, including reproductions of New Year’s couplets written by the Emperor Kang Xi, whose six-decade rule ended in 1722.

The new gift stores, which earned $220 million in sales in 2017, have also lifted their offerings. They once featured little more than key chains and ugly dolls; now, they have reproductions of porcelain (瓷器), textiles (织物) and even furniture.

Lisa Tan, a 38-year-old editor at a Beijing publishing house, said the new shops were attractive because they offered traditional porcelain made by government-recognized masters using traditional methods.

“It’s good that the Forbidden City is taking a lead in keeping these traditional practices alive,” Ms Tan said. “The gift store has even become fashionable in some circles.” And some of the more commercial activities are being limited, including photo studios where people can dress up like an emperor or empress.

Most visitors are still part of package tours that make people travel quickly through the central part of the palace. But taking a slower, more winding path through the Forbidden City is a better way to soak up the history and discover some of its secrets.

1.What’s the great change in the Forbidden City?

A.The great walls around it are open to the public.

B.The gift stores are a new visiting spot there.

C.It welcomes visitors on a large scale.

D.The new space is mainly for displaying treasures.

2.What makes the new gift stores attractive?

A.They bring in huge profits.

B.They focus on key chains and dolls.

C.They sell reproductions of furniture.

D.They offer a good variety of traditional items.

3.Why does the author say the museum staff are creative?

A.They create some quiet walkways.

B.They use the space for holding shows.

C.They manage the new gift stores successfully.

D.They guide visitors to find out history and secrets.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The Emperor Kang Xi ruled the country for 60 years.

B.The district of Haidian covers an area of 153 acres.

C.One can explore the Forbidden City fully on package tours.

D.About 1,500,000 objects are on display now.

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It's a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.

Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.

Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.

Dear Sir,

How are you? I’m a exchange student. I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find it inconvenient to sharing a room with others. My roommate often held parties at night, that makes much noise.Besides, his friends are always visiting him, which disturb me a lot.So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is to get a room my own, one not in the same building but as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.

Yours sincerely,

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some exquisite and expensive — telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.”

God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!

“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything.”

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

1.Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?

A.To give his students many more choices.

B.To teach his students how to enjoy coffee.

C.To show the students his collection of cups.

D.To tell his students the right attitude to life.

2.According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____.

A.get the best type of coffee cups B.make the best of what they have

C.have a wide range of coffee cups D.care about social status and wealth

3.The best title for the passage would be _____.

A.God’s Coffee B.The Pressure of Life

C.The Happiest People D.Professor's Coffee Cups

I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P.E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”

I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War II and the flag had a very special meaning for him.

The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. After that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.

The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn’t see the flag and I had a sense of sorrow to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.

I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart. A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that? ” She looked confused.

“My grandpa fought in World War II and he died last year,” I said. “I’m doing it for him.”

She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh.” She said.

Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer. I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made their choice; I made mine. I was doing it for my Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for myself. Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and that pride didn’t stop.

1.How did other students behave during the pledge periods?

A.They gradually quit the pledge.

B.They continued to show curiosity.

C.They did the pledge with sincerity.

D.They made fun of those who did the pledge.

2.The author did the pledge every day because ________.

A.the flag had a special meaning for her

B.the headmaster required her to do so

C.all the teachers and students did that

D.it was a way to show love for her grandpa

3.The whole passage is mainly developed by ________.

When Chris moved in across the hall from Norma Cook four years ago in a Los Angeles-area apartment complex, the 31-year-old actor waved to his 85-year-old neighbor for a few weeks before finally knocking on her door and introducing himself. “The day I entered her apartment and spoke with her face to face was the day my life was changed forever,”Chris said.

He learned that Cook had no family living in California and that she suffered from a long list of illnesses, including leukemia (白血病). The pair quickly became close friends, as Chris took her to doctor’s appointments, cooked with her and they ran errands (差事) together. He shared their adventures on social media. But recently, Cook’s health declined and she was in and out of the hospital several times. She once spent weeks in the hospital fighting pneumonia and breathing issues. Eventually Cook was told by one of her doctors that she could no longer live at home unless she had 24-hour care. Because Cook had no money saved to pay her health care costs, Chris started a Go Fund Me account to help cover her bills.

But caretakers are expensive and Cook quickly ran out of the $34,445 they raised. Knowing her days at home were limited, Chris invited Cook to move in with him to save money.“She loves it! I do most of my work at home so I am here most of the time to care for her. It only made sense to both of us.” Chris wrote. “She is my adopted grandmother after all and I am her grandson she never had.”

“Cook still has weekly hospice health care visits and regular visits from caregivers, so any funds raised cover those expenses,”he wrote. Though doctors say Cook’s days are very limited, the pair are enjoying spending time together drinking champagne and snuggling with her cat, Hermes, who also made a move.

“She does not want to change,” Chris told Today. “My apartment was the only place she would have moved. She has strong opinions about where she wants to carry out the rest of her days, and she wants to stay here.” Chris says he feels like the relationship was fate. “Moving her in....it feels as though it was meant to be all along, ” he said. “It’s really fulfilling to be there for her.”

1.Which of the following statements is true about Cook?

A. She was an 85-year-old actress four years ago

B. She invited Chris to her apartment the day he moved here

C. She was in a poor state of health and wealth

D. She had a grandson of the same age as Chris

2.Chris invited Cook to live with him because she ______.

A. had no other family members B. was told not to live at home by the doctor

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.

Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever, by the education system. In spite of his reading skills, Steve had been failing since first grade, as he was passed on from grade to grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve-year-old, yet, Steve went unnoticed…until Miss White.

Miss White was a young and beautiful lady with a smile. For the first time in his young life, he couldn't take his eyes of his teacher. Yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. When he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.

In the middle of the first semester of school, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things. One day, Miss White's impatient voice broke into his daydreams.

“Steve! Pay attention!” Frightened, he turned to look at her.

Steve locked his gaze on Miss White, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You boys all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but…” She hesitated.

“…The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

She just stared at Steve, as the class spun around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You're smart enough! You'll see a change!” Nothing touched him.

“Give yourself a chance! Don't give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally unattainable and perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM??!!

That afternoon, Steve stayed at home, thoughtful. And then he quickly gathered up his camping gear, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks. Grim faced and determined, he headed for the woods.
