概要写作：阅读下文，根据其内容写一篇50-60词胡内容概要。

For decades, doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart. Heart attack has long beenconsidered a grown-up problem, but new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you’re young can lead to health problems later.

Salt is made up of two elements: sodium andchlorine. Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged 9-13 shouldn’t consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily. The average American eats twice this amount.This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure---a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.

A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity. British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, become obese and develop high bloodpressure.

Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in theUSaresuffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it.

Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments. You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2,000 mg in many frozen meals.

    In France, a bookstore chain has put a special camera in its shops. The system feeds a video stream to software which_______shoppers’ movements and facial expressions for surprise, dissatisfaction, confusion or hesitation. When a shopper walks to the end of an aisle（货架通道） only to_______with a frown to a particular bookshelf, the software messages_______, who then go to help. For the eight months leading up to this April, sales rose_______a tenth.

The bookseller wants to keep its name_______for now. Similarly，other French clients of the Paris startup behind the technology, Angus.ai, are_______it in stores which are not open to the public. They_______ airport owner Aéroports de Paris, the luxury-goods giant LVMH, and Carrefour, the supermarkets chain.

Simple video produces a lot of insights, but there are far more complicated ways of learning about shoppers’_______. Thermal-imaging (热成像的) cameras_______detect heart rates. Wirelessly collected data from smartphone accelerometers (加速度传感器) can suggest when shoppers become fascinated (movement stops) or are unhappy about________(a phone is raised to search for cheaper products online). For even more insights, shoppers are sometimes asked to put on special equipment, typically in exchange for a ________or reward of another kind.

All of this could be a(n)________, some say, for sellers to enjoy the advantage that big data has long given online sellers. A race is________to work out how best to________and use emotional data, thus improving packaging, displays, music, or the content and timing of persuading customers into buying goods.

Using technology is much less________than old-fashioned interviewing. Nielson, a consumer-research giant, charges around $10,000 to interview 25 shoppers about three products. Angus. ai’ s service costs just $66 a month per camera. Sometimes,________market surveys may ask the wrong questions. What’s more, they can give misleading________. People typically change their responses intentionally to make themselves sound sensible,________purchases are often driven by subconscious (潜意识的) emotions.

One obvious________of shopping’s emotional side is the idea of “retail therapy” — consumers driven to spend when they are feeling blue. Whichever store is the first to spot mildly________customers could make a fortune!

    Whenever I moved to a new city, the first thing I did was to hire a bicycle. Why? 1. You travel much faster than on foot and you notice so much more of your surroundings than when in a bus or a car. It's more appealing to wander down small streets if they seem interesting, as you can quickly get back to the main road. Besides, I soon discovered more benefits of cycling.

A bicycle means that fewer places, especially in a small city like the one where I live now, feel far away. For example, cycling to work takes me half the time that it would to walk, 2.

Of course, there are obvious health benefits of cycling — a bit of extra movement as part of your daily routine can help you keep fit and healthy. Cycling on my way to work also makes me feel more energetic in the mornings.

3. While cars pollute the environment，bicycles are carbon neutral (碳平衡的). Furthermore, thanks to being petrol-free, bicycles are cheaper to run, buy and fix than cars. Even if you don't own a car，a bicycle can pay for itself when compared to the price of bus tickets.

4. Always wear a helmet, pay attention to other traffic and don't forget your lights at night. Make sure you know the road rules, especially in a new place. Some cities are more bicycle-friendly than others. 5. Luckily, where I live now is quite easy to ride a bicycle around, thanks to having lots of cycle lanes and not too many hills!

A.However, be careful when you are cycling.

B.But sometimes city roads are difficult for cyclists.

C.I should learn to ride safely on the right of the road.

D.Importantly, cycling also helps to decrease your carbon footprint.

E.Cycling to work is fit for whoever wants to save their pocket money.

F.Riding a bicycle also means you aren't limited by the bus timetables.

G.Seeing a city by bicycle is perfect for settling in and learning your way around.

    My mom was a beauty who seldom spent time and money on her physical appearance—especially in terms of fancy clothes or hairstyles. She just kept beautiful in her way： rest, water, exercise, vegetables and laughter.

My mom would tell me her father had her run his little corner store from the age of ten. She saw poor people come in, looking for food and making hard choices, like meat or cheese. She took their coins with an eye on the bottom line. It was up to her to ensure the register balanced at the end of the day. So from a young age, my mom had her mind conditioned about money.

However, my mom had one weakness： diamonds. In 1958, my teenage dad gave her a diamond chip as an engagement（订婚）ring, which she proudly wore until she saved enough for an “upgrade". By then, she was in her thirties. Over the years, my mom also acquired other diamond pieces like earrings. Mom wore them proudly and she simply loved the way her diamonds sparkled（闪耀）.

On my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, I treated them to dinner at a restaurant. It made her happy, but Mom had her eye on a big diamond to mark the occasion. My dad found her a six-carat（克拉）one. Mom said each carat represented a decade that she loved my dad, plus one to grow on. For the next six years, she never took it off her finger.

Knowing how my mom loved that diamond made it more special when she left it to me. After wearing it on my hand for a year, I decided to set it into a necklace where it'd be closer to my heart. It reminds me of my mom every day, no matter what I'm doing, and it speaks to me in unique ways.

1.What can we know about Mom?

A.She spent much on her makeup. B.She was a vain beautiful woman.

C.She kept beautiful in a natural way. D.She was proud of her appearance.

2.What made Mom careful about spending money?

A.The words of neighbors.

B.Her life in a poor family.

C.The choice of the poor people.

D.Her experience in her father's store.

3.Mom most probably thinks of the diamonds as a sign of_____ .

A.luck B.love C.status D.wealth

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Mother's Love for Diamonds B.Love Between Mother and Daughter

    As people age, the body changes in all sorts of predictable ways. Brains can slow. Wounds take longer to recover. And sleep patterns (模式) shift, too. This can come as news to many, says Michael V. Vitiello, a psychologist at the University of Washington who is expert in sleep in aging.

The most noticeable—and often most annoying—changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter, often beginning in middle age. Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a.m. and the ability to sleep through a noisy garbage truck down the block. Older drivers take longer to fall asleep, and they wake up more often. They tend to stay in the deepest stages of sleep for less time than younger adults.

Studies have found that poor sleep can create a particular threat to older adults—Falls, depression and anxiety, problems with memory, and increased suicide (自杀) risk are among the effects of sleep issues in this population group that researchers have found. But scientists are still unsure why those risk connections exist.

What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychological well-being in older adults. A 2010 study showed us that connection when it came to sleep quality, but sleep quantity didn't show the same effects.

Experts say this may be the key to understanding sleep as you age. If you're sleeping less, but don't feel negative effects out of bed, the changes you notice may just be normal age-related. If you experience a sudden change in your sleep, or poor sleep is affecting your daily life, changing your personality, or your bedmate says you stop breathing when you snore, that could be a sign of something more serious and it's worth visiting your doctor.

1.What is one of the changes in sleep patterns with aging?

A.People tend to wake up later. B.People sleep more at weekends.

C.People take longer to fall asleep. D.People stay longer in deep sleep.

2.What will probably happen if the elderly have poor sleep?

A.They may threaten others. B.They may become anxious.

C.They may have better memory. D.They may be unaware of their risks.

3.What does the 2010 study imply?

A.Both sleep quality and quantity matter with aging.

B.Sleep quantity is the key to older people's mental health.

C.Sleeping well is good for older people's psychological health.

D.The relationship between quality and quantity is not yet clear.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Bedtime pattern changes as people age.

B.Poor sleep is more dangerous for older adults.

C.Bedtime pattern changes are not a sign of trouble.

D.People's body changes in different ways with aging.

    About six years ago, I was on a plane next to a talkative woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “Ignore mode”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself and I knew she was called Helga.

While talking with Helga, I mentioned that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E (Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she thought “there was nothing more important in the world than Kindness.” I was curious why she was so enthusiastic and, as the plane took off, she talked about her last fight to Arizona three years ago. Just as the plane was about to leave for Phoenix, her father’s doctor called to inform her that her dad had suddenly passed away. For the three hour plane ride, she sat in stunned silence around strangers. When she arrived the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried.

And here is the part I’ll never forget about Helga’s story. For two hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and from at the airport. Helga looked at me and said, “Houston, nobody stopped and asked if I was okay that day. Not a single person. It was that day that I realized Kindness Isn’t Normal.”

Kindness Isn’t Normal. That has stuck with me all these years — especially now that I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness and love. I’m reminded all the time that, we spend so much time worrying about our problems and our lives that we walk by or ignore people in need of kindness every day. I’m often so worried about ME that I’m really bad at taking care of YOU.

So, I’ve made it my duty to do my part in making Kindness Normal. I share stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and compassion. I provide young people with practical ways to exercise Kindness (they don’t always know what it looks like!).

1.If you go into “ignore mode” you ______.

A.pay no attention to others B.introduce yourself voluntarily

C.refuse to answer any questions D.start talking with other people

2.Why did Helga cry at the airport?

A.She knew that her father died. B.She felt sick after a long flight

C.She was surrounded by strangers. D.She arrived at a completely new city.

3.Helga’s story helps the author to_______.

A.teach more people in need B.set up the organization R.A.K.E.

C.pay more attention to his problem D.realize the present situation of kindness

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.A Kind Woman B.Ways to Be Kind

C.Welcome to R.A.K.E. D.Make Kindness Normal

    Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability, money, and time. 1.Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2.

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3. 4.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5.And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A.Try new things.

B.Ability is easily improved.

C.Make three or four instead.

D.Understand your food better.

E.Cooking is a burden for many people.

F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

    I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with praise, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (专心的) while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (纪律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特点) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (个人的) and unique (独一无二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

1.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____.

A.pay more attention to his study B.keep silent in the room

C.finish his homework on time D.get right answers

2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.

A.the importance of parents B.the old form of education

C.the relationship between kids and their parents D.the good grades of some kids

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?

A.We should help kids correct their wrong ways.

B.Parents should study their kids’ DNA.

C.Kids should be taught to behave themselves.

D.Parents should love and accept their kids.

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A.Study hard and you’ll be successful

B.Be friendly to your children

C.Children’s success in their own style

D.Parents’ help with their children’s study

    You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school. Even if you know other freshmen(新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?

Most high schools hold a freshman orientation(训练) before school actually starts. These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but you also get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.

When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.

The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.

High school also has more after-school activities than middle school did, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.

Middle school taught you the basics of academics, time management, and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.

1.According to the passage, when they come to the school on the first day freshmen usually feel ____.

A.proud B.nervous C.excited D.afraid

2.What are freshmen probably worried about?

A.The learning task. B.The chances to make friends.

C.The freshman orientation. D.The relationship with teachers.

3.After-school activities mainly help students ____.

A.build up healthy bodies B.develop friendships

C.develop their interests D.improve their learning ability

4.The last paragraph is mainly about ____.

A.what you’ll learn in high school

B.what you leaned in middle school

C.the difference between middle school and high school

D.the importance of being more independent and responsible

    The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.

When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.

There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

1.You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.

A.you will break the traffic rules B.you will cause much noise

C.you can’t enjoy the beautiful sights well D.you can’t drive into some parks

Rescue in a Bottle

Curtis Whitson had rafted (v.乘筏) down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, several times before.

This year, Curtis Whitson knew the water-fall was coming. He figured he would get out of his raft into the shallow water, get down the rocks along ropes on either side of the falls, and continue on his way, as he had on a previous trip.

But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitson’s companions were his girlfriend, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrowing canyon(峡谷) that they were in serious trouble. There was no way they’d be able to get down the rocks as planned.

“The water was just roaring through there with tremendous force,” recalls Whitson, 45.

They had no smart phone service, and they hadn’t seen a single person in the past three days. And Whitson knew that they’d be sharing the ground there with rattlesnakes and mountain lions.

As he was thinking what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck---he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.

“We have to get these people a message,” Whitson thought.

He grabbed a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve “Help” in it. Then he tied a rope to it so the people would know it wasn’t just any stick. He tried throwing it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction.

“We’ve got to do something!” Whitson yelled to his son. “Have we got anything else?”

Then he spotted his water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help!”on it. Ramirez also reminded him that he had a pen and paper in his backpack.

Whitson knew it was a slim hope. But he wrote “6-15 19:00 We are stuck here@ the waterfall. Get help please” and pushed the note into the bottle. This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect.

“All right, that’s all we can do,” Whitson told Hunter.

    Children love to have pets, and having these furry animals in your family does good to children. Many studies have shown that kids who have pets do better at school because they have higher scores of emotional intelligence(EI)(情商). Here are some of the ways pets can help children develop their EI.

Grow empathy(同情)

Children are naturally empathetic and having pets can develop this. Researchers Nienke Endenburg and Ben Baard wrote a book The Waltham Book of Human-Animal Interaction, which is an overview of scientific studies about raising pets. 1.. It also shows that even young children who have pets show more empathy towards other animals and people.

Reduce stress

Today, some doctors are writing social prescriptions(处方) to get a pet. Even just petting a dog has been shown to reduce stress in children. 2., because they are great listeners.

Raise self-esteem(自尊)

3. In fact, the authors said that research “found that children’s self-esteem scores increased greatly over a nine-month period of keeping pets in their school classroom. Besides, it was children with originally low self-esteem scores who showed the greatest improvements.”

4.

Many parents find it difficult to talk to their kids about sensitive topics like birth, illness, and death. Learning about these through the lives of their furry family members helps make it easier to understand the cycles of life. 5., but the authors say it can also be a very valuable learning experience. Children will learn how to deal with feelings of sadness and anger.

A.Help prevent loneliness

B.Teach about life cycle events

C.Animals can provide emotional support for kids

D.Of course, experiencing the death of a beloved pet is difficult for kids

E.Kids who take care of pets feel proud and have a sense of achievement

F.The book shows kids who take care of their pets are more caring than those who don’t

G.Having a pet around also helps children better socialize with other kids of the same age

    It’s said that every Irish “mammy” has her own way to cook Irish stew(炖菜). Simple but satisfying, it has fed the poor over centuries, which makes it a national dish.

The ingredients tell the story. First up, there’s the “spud”, as the Irish call the potato. First brought to Ireland in the 16th century, it was an unbelievable food, providing bumper crops that could be stored over the cold winter months. Soon, everyone was eating it — for breakfast, lunch and tea.

With the arrival of the spud, the population increased from one million to eight million in less than three centuries. But this dependence on the vegetable would prove disastrous when crops were struck by disease in the 1840s. The great famine(饥荒)that followed killed over a million people — and forced millions more to run to other countries. It’s hard to believe that during the years of famine, Ireland continued to export huge quantities of food to Great Britain, its colonial master at the time.

Today, Ireland is an independent nation. Nobody thinks about the potato famine as they enjoy their Irish stew but there’s a bone-deep awareness of the country’s long connection with the spud.

Potatoes are all well and good, but the stew gets its taste from the meat. It used to be made with mutton as it was the only meat available to the poor. However, the only way to make it good enough to eat was to stew it in the pot for hours.

Today, most people use lamb. However, this remains slightly traditional among purists, who also criticize(批评)the addition of ingredients like carrots, parsnips, thyme and supermarket-bought materials.

1.Why was the potato called an unbelievable food in the 16th century?

A.It could be accepted by both the poor and the rich. B.It could be cooked into many delicious dishes.

C.It could be kept for a long time. D.It could grow in winter in Ireland.

2.What did the dependence on the potato lead to in the 1840s?

A.The growing population. B.A very serious famine.

C.A war between Ireland and Britain. D.Millions of people rushing to Ireland.

3.What is the most important step when cooking Irish stew?

A.Stewing the dish for hours. B.Using enough potatoes.

C.Picking up the high-quality lamb. D.Adding different kinds of ingredients.

4.What is this text mainly about?

A.Ways to cook Irish stew. B.The present situation of Irish stew.

C.The importance of potatoes. D.An Irish national dish about potatoes.

    The Apollo Programme was set up by NASA, the US space agency, to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Once this had been achieved by Apollo 11in 1969, other Moon missions didn’t create the same level of public excitement. The Apollo 13 astronauts were Fred Haise, Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert. Lovell later told the BBC that people were getting bored of the Moon. When the astronauts filmed a message to Earth after 55 hours of space flight, none of the major TV channels in the US took time to show it live.

Nine minutes after filming the message to Earth, one of the ship’s two oxygen tanks exploded. Swigert got in touch with mission control, which was in the city of Houston in Texas, US, and said, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” The explosion meant that the astronauts would no longer be able to land on the Moon. Instead, the goal was simply to get back to Earth alive. The crew used the lunar module as a lifeboat.

By now, Apollo 13 had drawn the world’s attention, Millions of people watched television on17 April to see whether the astronauts would get back to Earth. There were fears that damage to the command module might mean that the parachutes needed for landing wouldn’t work. To make matters worse, for four minutes. Mission control lost connection with the astronauts. Luckily, the astronauts landed safely in the Pacific Ocean.

NASA referred to Apollo 13 as a “successful failure”. It didn’t complete its original mission, but the calm and quick thinking of the astronauts and mission control experts prevented a disaster. The tanks were redesigned and a third one added to future spacecraft as backup, to make sure that such an accident never happened again. In 1995, the events of Apollo /3 were made into a hit film starring Tom Hanks.

1.What was people’s attitude towards Apollo 13 at first?

A.They were interested in it. B.They were tired of it.

C.They were excited about it. D.They were uncertain about it.

2.What was wrong with Apollo 13?

A.One of its oxygen tanks blew up. B.It went in the wrong direction.

C.It lost its connection with Earth completely. D.One of its astronauts didn’t operate it properly.

3.Why was Apollo 13 called a “successful failure”?

A.It caused a lot of loss but created a lot of business value as well.

B.It didn’t attract much attention but landed on Earth safely.

C.It didn’t finish its task but a disaster was avoided.

D.It was ruined but speeded up space exploration.

4.What is this text mainly about?

A.The history of space exploration. B.A discussion about space exploration.

C.The big events of the Apollo programme. D.An introduction to a space survival incident.

    I teach online and have been doing so for years .I understand the value of traditional face-to-face course offerings for certain courses and certain subjects. I doubt an online course in chemistry can ever be as effective (有效的) as a face-to-face course held in a lab. Fortunately, I teach writing, and the Internet is an effective place for teaching subjects that call for careful reading and discussion.

It is true that there are things I cannot do in my classes on the Internet. It is also true, however, that there are things I cannot do in my classes held in traditional classrooms. So the question we should ask is: What works better or worse in face-to-face classes rather than in online courses, and vice versa(反之亦然)?

One of the things I value most in my online classes is the necessity for everyone to take part in order to show their presence. In my face-to-face classes, a student can sit quietly and appear to be engaged in(积极参与) the discussion without ever offering a thought or opinion. Online, I consider a student who sits quietly but who does not join in the discussion to be simply not present. Further, students in face-to-face classes who are too shy or who are talked over by quicker and louder voices have the chance to take part in an online discussion.

When I teach online, my students and I can be inside or outside and we can sit wherever and however we want. In Michigan, where a winter storm can make going to campus dangerous or even impossible, the ability to learn in class from the comfort of wherever you live is a big advantage. When the weather is not nice, I often teach while sitting in a local coffee shop. When the weather is nice, I often teach while sitting in my backyard.

I agree that online education is not a “recipe (秘诀)for personal success.” Then again, I’m not sure traditional face-to-face education is such a recipe, either.

1.What does the author think of online courses and traditional courses?

A.Chemistry courses can be done online.

B.Online courses are more popular.

C.Traditional courses are more helpful.

D.Both have their advantages.

2.How can shy students benefit from online discussion?

A.They can do a better job than louder students.

B.They can sit quietly to listen to others opinions.

C.They can think independently and take an active part.

D.They can appear to be engaged in online discussion.

3.Which advantage of online teaching is mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A.It is much safer. B.It is less affected by weather.

C.It is more comfortable. D.It happens anytime.

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

A.Why I teach online. B.I’ m online.

C.A recipe for success. D.A new teaching style.

When I was young, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was a astronaut going up into space, finding new planets but jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined that being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to being a famous footballer, using my skills score lots of goals for my favourite team. Growing up with siblings also helps, combining our ideas and putting our thought into action. I was even able to create entirely plots in my head, using nothing more than my brain.

Looked back, I realize the imagination is a wonderful thing in your life.

    It was the homecoming parade in Rockwall, Texas, and Tyra Winters was riding on top of one of the school's floats. As it slowly made its way down the street, the 17-year-old excitedly_______ at the crowd.

All of a sudden, there was a terrible_______. Looking down. Winters saw a two-year-old_______ on the sidewalk, his frightened mother crying for_______. The child had been sucking on a piece of candy_______ it slid down the back of his mouth, stuck in his_______. There was no coughing. He was_______ having difficulty breathing. No one seemed to_______ how to help.

Except for Winters. A senior with_______ of becoming a surgeon, she had learned________ in school. Knowing that the clock was________, she jumped off the moving float and ran to the child. By the time she got to the child, his________ had turned purple. She grabbed him from the mother. Then she________ him and gave three back pushes. Soon, the boy________ the piece of candy and began breathing again.

Without another word, Winters________ him back to the mother and went back to her float________ before it could leave her behind. It all ________ so fast that the mother never had time to________ the teen. “She didn't need to,” says Winters. “I knew what she was ________. I saw her tears. I saw her face.”

A good thing, because Winters's heroic actions________ the mother speechless. “I don't really have any words,” the mother says. “The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is 'thank you. ' But that doesn't seem good enough.”

Prevent Viruses From Infecting Your Computer

The number one way to prevent viruses from infecting your computer is to have an anti﹣virus software on your computer, which can detect and block viruses before they have a chance to cause any harm. 1. If it finds any viruses, it can separate them and delete them safely from your computer. Because there are new viruses that are created on an almost daily basis, your virus protection needs to be updated regularly.

2. This way if your computer should ever get hit by a virus, which corrupts some of your system. you will have a back up copy available. 3. This will allow you to restart your computer using an earlier configuration （配置）before you got infected by the virus. This method is not always reliable but it is something that you can try.

An important rule of thumb is do not open attachments in emails from people you do not know. You have no idea what those attachments might contain and no idea who sent them. You should also be careful about opening attachments from people you do know if you are not sure what the attachment is about. 4.

Downloading is a good way to catch a computer virus. It's like opening the door and saying "Come on in! " Yes, if your virus protection is updated, it will hopefully catch the virus. 5. When downloading, make sure the site you are downloading from is reliable with a lot of traffic. Stay away from unreliable sites that have few visitors.

A.Not all viruses act immediately.

B.But then again, it might not.

C.Operating without a firewall is risky anyway.

D.Attachments are a good way for viruses to sneak into your systems.

E.A good anti﹣virus program can scan any program, files, or documents.

F.Another good way is to make backup copies of important documents and files.

G.You can even set a system restore point anywhere from a week or a month earlier.

    After at least five years of transporting you around the country, car batteries will now spend their retirement making you tea and toast and running your washing machine.

Used electric car batteries are being changed into home energy storage units which can be linked to rooftop solar panels to keep lights on and devices running when the sun goes down. The plan between Honda and Snam, an Italian energy infrastructure company, will reuse or recycle thousands of batteries from electric and hybrid cars and trucks across Europe, with single batteries installed（安装）in homes and lines of them linked to wind farms to store electricity.

They will also be used by homes and businesses on "time of use" electricity rates—to be charged up when electricity is cheap and used when the rate increases at times of peak demand. The plan will help solve one of the biggest challenges for the rapidly growing electric car industry —how to deal with large batteries which contain valuable metals such as lithium and cobalt but are expensive to break down and recycle.

Most have a warranty（保证）lasting five to eight years depending on how well they are managed and how often recharged. Used batteries have 50 to 90 per cent of their original capacity, according to Aceleron, which makes batteries that are easier to reuse and recycle.

Amrit Chandan, its founder, said："Transport is the largest source of carbon emissions in the UK, and in order to reduce carbon emissions, million electric vehicles are sold each year. But we are currently solving one environmentally friendly issue while ignoring another. Waste is the elephant in the room. By designing batteries for the circular economy from the start, we can prevent mountains of battery waste from being created worldwide. "

1.What can be inferred about used batteries from paragraph 2？

A.They will be taken apart.

B.They will soon disappear.

C.They can be given a second life.

D.They are used to produce electricity.

2.What is the biggest problem facing electric car industry？

A.The solution to battery waste.

B.The production of electric vehicles.

C.The invention of cheap batteries.

D.The creation of fast electric cars.

3.What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 4 refer to？

A.Used batteries.

B.Cars and trucks.

C.Homes.

D.Hosts.

4.What is the main idea of the text？

A.Battery waste has become a big concern.

B.Transport is responsible for carbon emissions.

C.Used electric car batteries will soon power homes.

D.New reusable battery can get rid of battery waste.

    For over a century, native Asian honeybees have been steadily pushed aside by the European species, which were introduced to China by beekeepers because the female workers are more focused on their job and produce more honey, which is also sweeter.

However, the European species also carries a number of deadly diseases that can damage the natural habitat. Some researchers calculate that up to 80 per cent of China's native honeybee population has been lost since the first European bee farm in the country was established in the late 19th century.

The sweeping expansion of Asia's European honeybee population causes an ecological crisis. After more than 70 million years of evolution, native Asian honeybees could pollinate（对……授粉）a wide range of plant species in the region. However, many Asian bee species across the region are now close to extinction, and that's a cause for concern as the flowers of many Asian plants are not recognised by European honeybees, which will cause fundamental changes in the ecological balance.

A solution put forward by bee scientists was to draw a border between European and Asian honeybees. In some parts of China, bee farms are not allowed to use the European species, giving the native bees some breathing space.

After years of decline, the Eastern honeybees are gaining a foothold, especially in mountains and warm, tropical areas. It is because they can deal with the real hardship of life. The Western honeybees. on the contrary, rely very much on the protection and care of humans. Without caretakers, they have little chance to survive in Asia, where hornets（大黄蜂）alone could wipe them out.

The decline of Asian honeybees was alarming because of their important role in the food chain. Fewer bees mean fewer plants, fewer plants less food and less food fewer humans. We must take positive, sustainable steps towards protecting China's Asian honeybees.

1.What made China's native honeybees endangered？

A.Overdevelopment of the land.

B.Introduction of European bees.

C.Pollution from cars and factories.

D.Lack of a variety of plant species.

2.What can be inferred about many Asian plants from the third paragraph？

A.They will not flower.

B.They might grow slowly.

C.They might not be pollinated.

D.They will harm the environment.

3.What is basically typical of China's honeybees？

A.Sociable.

B.Aggressive.

C.Productive.

D.Adaptable.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？

A.To analyse influence of European bees.

B.To urge protection of native Asian bees.

C.To suggest ways of limiting European bees.

D.To introduce comeback of native Asian bees.
