    Self-study is cheap, convenient, and you can set your own pace. However, you have to figure out for yourself what to study, how to keep up motivation and how to meet your goals.

Make learning fun

1. To keep you interested, supplement(补充)your study with materials that fit your personality and interests.

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel

For learning, it’s easy to believe that the smart self-studying student can use videos, apps, books, games all in a magical combination. 2. Don’t put all your faith in a game, free videos, or your own ability to create a better program than teaching professionals.

Build study into your daily life

Whether you’re a high school student or a college student, finding a spare hour to study is tough. 3. That’s really important.

Set realistic but ambitious goals and stick to them

You must make sure you make steady, regular progress. 4.

We recommend studying for 3 to 5 hours a day. If you have less time to study, that’s OK.

5. So daily practice—even just 10 minutes a day—is better than taking long breaks and then studying for hours at a time.

A.The key is to study every day.

B.I know this seems really obvious.

C.It’s difficult to know where to start.

D.The problem is that there is no structure to your courses.

E.You must find smart ways to force extra study into your daily life.

F.So it’s really important to make a study plan you can actually stick to.

G.To keep motivated over the long term, learning needs to be something you want to do.

    One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.

One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour(气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.

The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria(细菌)on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores(毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”

Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes—but Knols notes there’s no scientific data backing these claims.

1.What do we learn from the second paragraph?

A.Mosquitoes can detect people with smell. B.Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.

C.A person breathes out over 300 chemicals. D.People naturally attract mosquitoes.

2.Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example?

A.To persuade readers to protect the environment.

B.To warn people against touching mosquitoes.

C.To show different mosquitoes react to mixtures.

D.To make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.

3.What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols?

A.Chemicals in the mouth. B.Mixtures people give off.

C.Smells from the pores. D.Bacteria on the skin.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.The Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito Attraction

B.Folk Stories about How Mosquitoes Attack People

C.Attitudes toward Mosquitoes Different People Have

D.Ways to Make People More and More Attractive

    Drivers who drive a little too close to cyclists on the road could soon be caught on the spot. A new technology adopted by legal departments in Ottawa could help carry out legal distance between bikers and cars on the road.

The device, which is fixed on a bicycle’s handlebars like a bike bell, uses sonar(声呐) technology to measure the distance between the bike and passing cars. The device will make a loud noise if the car is within one meter of the bike, the legal limit in the city of Ottawa, allowing the police rider to radio ahead to his colleagues so that the driver can be pulled over. “The safety of all road users is extremely vital, including cyclists. These cycling changes are directed at encouraging cycling, promoting road safety, and sharing the road,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program.

The authorities started the program last week with a single sonar device. One police officer rode the bike bearing the device around the city on Tuesday to prove the effectiveness(有效性) of the technology. Within a few minutes of riding, the device was beeping, registering that two drivers had violated the one-meter distance requirement. The drivers were pulled over and given brochures informing them that they had broken the safe distance law.

Wilkinson noted that the device is not currently being used to issue fines, which can go up to $110, and that there are no plans to use it for enforcement(执法)in the future. At this point, its main use is to spread awareness about the safe distance law, which was passed last September in an effort to encourage rider safety and reduce deadly crashes.

1.What will happen if the safe distance is beyond the legal limit?

A.The cyclist will soon be caught on the spot.

B.The police will make the driver stop by the road.

C.The driver will be arrested for driving too fast.

D.The device will at once call the police of itself.

2.What’s the main purpose of using the device?

A.To make the bicycle attractive. B.To encourage people to walk.

C.To guarantee road safety. D.To warn drivers of danger.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “beeping” in paragraph 3?

A.Making a loud noise. B.Receiving an urgent message.

C.Sending a stop signal. D.Radioing the police rider.

4.What does Wilkinson say about the device?

A.It is being developed at present. B.It still has room for improvement.

C.It may be used to fine drivers later. D.It helps reduce traffic accidents.

    In her 17 years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.

Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.

NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”

As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.

As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.

1.What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph?

A.Its main aim is to make money. B.It offers people cheap supplies.

C.It takes in all homeless people. D.It is a charity organization.

2.What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US?

A.Her parents’ constant suggestion. B.The memory of her hard childhood.

C.Her experience of helping a hungry man. D.Volunteers’ great influence on her.

3.Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter?

A.She held a grand party for many people.

B.She could receive many nice gifts there.

C.She got much personal satisfaction from it.

D.She saw helping others as part of her life.

4.Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat?

A.Caring. B.Ambitious.

C.Humorous. D.Demanding.

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 few years ago I worked in an international company that sold computer devices． I had to travel a lot over the country as a part of my work． I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money．

On one of my trips， I came to the airport to take a bus to downtown， as usual． It was the same routine： get into the city， take the bus to the hotel， visit the customer， work late， take the bus back to the airport and fly back…That day， for some reasons， I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit， where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before． I waited there， enjoying the scenery． Finally the bus came．

Usually I always took the seat behind the driver． That day I sat down somewhere in the middle． A boy was seated next to me， carrying a lot of suitcases． Suddenly， he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger． Warmly， he said， "hi， the perfect day in the perfect place， huh？"

I remember thinking to myself ﹣ this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy． Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride？ But out of politeness， I replied， "Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach？" "No， I'm not here for vacation， and I don't have parents，" He shook his head， "I'm here because I want to achieve my biggest dream． I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago．"

The effect of having no friends

A study has found that people who are lonely have more physical and mental health problems than those who feel connected with others. It affects your health in four ways.

You are more likely to be depressed (抑郁的).

1. Researchers have shown that when you’re lonely, brain hormones associated with stress such as cortisol (皮质醇) become active, which can cause depression. The previous research has found that the more positive social interactions (交流) people with depression have, the more improvement in symptoms they experience.

2.

Research has shown you’ll eat less healthily if you frequently dine alone. Researchers have pointed out that if you are cooking for other people, you are more likely to prepare a healthier meal that contains a range of foods—meat, starch (淀粉) and vegetables. 3. People who are lonely are also more likely to be physically inactive.

You are more likely to suffer from heart disease.

Research has repeatedly shown lonely people have a higher risk of heart disease, and it’s for many reasons. Since they don’t have social support, they’re more likely to be affected by stress. 4. If they’re lonely, they’re less likely to be physically active or eat properly. If they don’t feel well, they’re much less likely to go to see a doctor.

5.

Research has found that loneliness can affect the immune (免疫的) system. People who are lonely produce more inflammation (发炎)—related proteins in response to stress than folks who feel more socially connected. Inflammation is linked to numerous health conditions including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease.

A.You are likely to eat more food.

B.You had better get on well with others.

C.You are less likely to take care of yourself.

D.You could have a weaker system to fight off disease.

E.This increases the possibility of getting heart disease.

F.Otherwise, you’re just throwing something together for yourself.

G.The more lonely you feel, the more likely you are to be depressed.

    Imagine stepping out your front door and standing in the middle of a national park. Daniel hopes this might soon be possible for millions of London residents. Daniel is leading a campaign to make London a national park city.

Although London has much more concrete than a national park usually would, it is home to more than 13,000 kinds of wildlife. These species live in its 3,000 parks, along with 15,000 varieties of flowering plants, and more than 300 species of birds. In fact, 47 percent of the land in London is green space.

“We have 8 million trees in London; it’s the world’s largest urban forest,” Daniel says. That’s almost one tree for every person living in London! Yet, even though London has thousands of outdoor spaces, one in seven children living there hasn’t visited a green space in the past year.

Daniel believes that making London into a national park will protect the animal life and green spaces in London. He hopes it will also encourage people, especially young people, to spend more time outdoors. Daniel takes his own son out to explore in London, and he thinks that other parents should do the same. Daniel believes that people who spend a lot of time in nature live happier and healthier lives. What do you think?

1.The campaign led by Daniel is________.

A.to create a new beautiful village B.to attract more visitors to parks

C.to build a modern town in England D.to make London a national park city

2.We can learn from Paragraph 2 and 3 that ________.

A.London has 8 million trees B.London is a small urban forest

C.there are few parks in London D.more than 50% of London is green space

3.In Daniel’s opinion, other parents should________.

A.take care of themselves B.help their children with their schoolwork

C.spend a lot of time indoors D.take their children out to explore in London

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.A New Type of Park B.People’s Busy Life

    Bonnie often walks on two legs, like humans. And you can find the 32-year-old great ape copying her keepers by sweeping the floor of her zoo home. Sometimes she uses a piece of cloth to clean the window.

“Apes (猿) in general are very clever, but Bonnie is surely even more so,” said Erin Stromberg, a great ape keeper who works with Bonnie and recently wrote a research paper about her ability to whistle.

Bonnie is one of the six adult great apes at the National Zoo. Bonnie and other great apes are part of a research project. Scientists there are trying to learn more about the way the great apes think and act. One part of the project is to learn whether great apes can develop a way to remember long lists.

Stromberg helped with a project on Bonnie’s unusual ability to whistle. Years ago Bonnie started to whistle, probably after hearing a keeper do it. In the project, Stromberg made different whistling noises to see if Bonnie could repeat them. She did. Bonnie’s whistling shows some apes have the ability to learn a new sound from another species.

The finding is especially important because, Stromberg said, it can help scientists better understand how human speech developed. Great apes, after all, are the closest relatives to human beings in the animal kingdom.

Bonnie was born in 1976 at a zoo in New Mexico and arrived at the National Zoo in December 1980. Bonnie has physical features common to great apes, such as a large belly. Her dark red coat makes her easy to spot on a visit to the zoo.
