Ancient Chinese had milder ways to encourage people to find a spouse, such as fairs and meetings during festivals.

Lantern Festival is one of the festivals that provided ancient Chinese single young men and women a chance5.(meet)and get to know each other. On the night of that day, 6.(marry)men and women would meet at the flower fair and lantern-decorated street.

Romance often happened, 7.not all of these stories ended happily.

Ouyang Xiu described a woman's longing for the man she met during Lantern Festival in his poem Yuan Xi. It8.(go)like this: "Last lantern festival, the flower fair9.(decorate)with lights was daylight bright. We met after dusk when the moon rose behind willow trees. This year the moon and lanterns are still10.same, yet you are not here anymore. I am sad, with tears shed on the sleeves of my spring coat.”

What Secrets Your Voice Reveals About You

So, have you ever stepped back and wondered what your voice sounds like to other people?1.. And it turns out, it says a lot about us.

·Your voice hints at how social you are

2.. Extroverts tend to talk loudly, quickly, and excitedly. Introverts tend to speak quietly and more slowly. So, if you're that loud person at a party, you'll probably find that all eyes are on you, whereas introverts won't likely be at that party at all.

·Your voice says something about your height

This may sound strange, but if people close their eyes and hear you speak, they can probably tell if you're tall or short.3., whereas shorter people tend to have a higher voice. This is true for both men and women.

·4.

If you've noticed a lot of changes in a person's voice—the pace at which they talk, the tone and pitch of their voice, or whether their voice has become quieter—they may have Parkinson's disease. These changes can happen in the voice due to the tremors(震颤)that a patient would be experiencing.

·Your voice can tell how successful you are

Successful people's voices tend to be of a lower, warmer tone. Their words come out evenly, and their vocal cords won't be tight.5., but not so loudly that they're unpleasant to listen to.

A.Taller people tend to have a deeper voice

B.Your voice can tell others about your health

C.Your voice reveals how professional you are

D.They'll speak loudly enough to make themselves heard

E.A confident person will have a smooth and steady tone

F.Specifically, people can tell whether you're an extrovert or introvert

G.Your friends and family can probably identify you just by the sound of your voice

    A book is made of wood. But it is not a tree. The dead cells have been repurposed to serve another need.

Now a team of scientists has repurposed living cells—scraped(刮落)from frog embryos—and assembled them into entirely new life forms. These millimeter-wide “xenobots” can move toward a target, perhaps pick up a payload(like a medicine that needs to be carried to a specific place inside a patient)—and heal themselves after being cut.

“These are novel living machines,” says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. “They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact：a living, programmable organism.” “We can imagine many useful applications of these living robots that other machines can't do,” says co-leader Michael Levin, “like searching out nasty compounds or radioactive contamination(污染物), gathering microplastic in the oceans, traveling in arteries(动脉)to scrape out plaque.”

People have been manipulating(操纵)organisms for human benefit since at least the dawn of agriculture, genetic editing is becoming widespread, and a few artificial organisms have been manually assembled in the past few years—copying the body forms of known animals. But this research, for the first time ever, “designs completely biological machines from the ground up," the team writes in their new study.

Many people worry about the implications of rapid technological change and complex biological manipulations. "That fear is not unreasonable,” Levin says. "When we start to deal with complex systems that we don't understand, we're going to get unintended consequences.” “If humanity is going to survive into the future, we need to better understand how complex properties, somehow, emerge from simple rules,” says Levin. Much of science is focused on "controlling the low-level rules. We also need to understand the high-level rules." In other words, “this study is a direct contribution to getting a handle on what people are afraid of, which is unintended consequences,” Levin says.

1.What do we know about the “xenobots” from Paragraph 2?

A.They need to be carried to a specific place.

B.They're capable of self-healing after injury.

C.They are scraped from some new life forms.

D.They can remove an object to another place.

2.Michael Levin thinks these living robots can __________.

A.recycle microplastic in the oceans

B.take in nasty compounds

C.programme other organisms

D.take away the plaque in arteries

3.What does the underlined sentence(in Paragraph 4)probably mean?

A.People never created these biological robots in history.

B.These machines were copied from the very beginning.

C.The research is completely carried out on the playground.

D.Organisms have been developed since agriculture.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.This study is bound to bring about panic in public.

B.People boycott employing rapid technological change.

C.Science is focused on controlling the low-level rules.

D.Some study is likely to contribute to unexpected results.

    There is beauty in each moment of our lives, but often we're too distracted to notice it. Instead, we spend much of our time worrying about the future or regretting the past, and this habit can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.

That's why many people today are turning to the practice of mindfulness(正念减压法). Simply put, mindfulness means focusing on the present moment. Let's say you're sitting in traffic after a long day's work. Rather than dwelling on(老是想着)an unpleasant incident that occurred earlier or worrying about your schedule for the next day, you might direct your attention to the sound of the rain drops battering the windshield or to a specific image before you. By directing your attention to the here and now, you automatically shift your focus away from self-image, success, and other stress-inducing concerns.

Such a shift in consciousness helps us form more meaningful connections with others and handle problems with greater ease. It also lets us appreciate life's many little pleasures. So, it's not surprising that mindfulness has been found to help in the treatment of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and even physical problems related to stress, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and upset stomachs.

How do you practice mindfulness? While it's often associated with meditation, you don't actually need to be in a particular place or position to cultivate it. In fact, it can be incorporated(使并入)into almost any daily activity, including eating, walking, showering, or doing the dishes. Let's take this last activity as an illustration:

Begin by bringing your attention to your breath. Inhale(吸入)through your nose allowing the air to expand your belly, and exhale through your mouth. Notice the sensations as each breath goes in and out.

As you engage in the task of washing the dishes, direct your awareness to the scent of the soap, the sound of the running water, and the feel of the suds(肥皂泡沫)between your fingers. Simply be aware of these and any other immediate sensations without forming any judgments about them.

At times, this process may not be relaxing, especially when what you're doing is boring or unpleasant. Nevertheless, by practicing mindfulness, we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and, over time develop greater happiness.

1.Why is the example of “sitting in traffic” mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A.To appreciate beauty at the present moment.

B.To explain the meaning of mindfulness.

C.To describe the traffic accident in the street.

D.To attract the reader's attention to the traffic.

2.Which of the following is the benefit of mindfulness?

A.Finding out problems in study more easily.

B.Helping cure diseases like high blood pressure.

C.Allowing us to enjoy small pleasures in life.

D.Making friends with other people in the traffic.

3.From the passage, mindfulness can be practised by_____________.

A.finding a particular place to cultivate it

B.bringing our attention to our breath

C.burying ourselves in washing the dishes

D.putting it to use in our everyday life

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The reasons why people begin to practise mindfulness.

B.The differences between mindfulness and meditation.

C.The benefits of mindfulness and the way to practice it.

D.The ways we should keep healthy mentally and physically.

    Five years ago, I took a career risk by leaving my job to work on a ship. My medical friends did their best to persuade me, saying that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after these years working as a junior, I was willing to take the risk.

Hungry for adventure, I boarded a ship in Singapore with 2,000 passengers and crew. To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer. That first voyage was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills. There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which uniform to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to set my clock when the ship crossed time zones.

As a doctor, I was responsible for 600 crew, and I was on call for the entire ship. Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, I had to deal with other diseases, for my patients were wide and varied. The ship's medical center was actually a floating emergency room, and we didn't have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.

As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly, heart attacks don't care about geography and emergency evacuating(疏散)was difficult to arrange. I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.

Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job, I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities and I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore. I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St. Petersburg.

Now, I understand being a ship doctor is not a job—it's a way of life. One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.

1.How did the writer feel working on the ship?

A.Regretful. B.Satisfied.

C.Scared. D.Nervous.

2.What was the writer's most difficult thing on the ship?

A.Wearing the same uniform each day.

B.Absorbing plenty of new information.

C.Having a tight timetable full of safety drills.

D.Forgetting to adjust time by time zones.

3.The patient taken off the ship halfway through the Panama Canal.

A.suffered from an unknown disease

B.was taken to a safe place immediately

C.got timely treatment in the hospital

D.died on the way to the nearest hospital

4.Why did the writer lose his career ambitions later on?

A.He had a new understanding of happiness.

B.He could enjoy the passenger facilities.

C.He was content to be a tour guide on trips.

D.He gave up the dream of being a doctor.

    These are the most popular and best travel destinations for next spring. Results are based on increases in interest and bookings compared with the same period last year.

Beirut, Lebanon

This may come as a surprise, but it's also plenty of people's dream of seeing the “Paris of the Middle East”, as Beirut is called. Beirut—one of the world's oldest living places-is a combination of history and culture. You can admire colonial French architecture and enjoy a diversity of culinary(烹饪的)delights. As for accommodation, Sofitel Beirut Le Gabriel and The Smallville Hotel are top picks.

Mazatlán, Mexico

Are you looking for an escape to a warm place? Mazatlán, on Mexico's Pacific coast, is a good choice. It combines blue skies, warm sunshine, sandy beaches and old-fashioned character.

Enjoy royal treatment at 11 Cadogan Gardens and Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, or book a flat through Airbnb.

Tel Aviv, Israel

Called the "new Dubai for enthusiastic travelers", Tel Aviv is the place to go right now. This international city has so much to offer. Take advantage of its seaside place with a surf lesson.

    Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true．1.If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents，don’t worry about it．Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟)．

2.Don’t get to your parents when you are angry．Your parents possibly won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off.

How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money，some ideas might be：

Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen.

Doing landscaping(绿化)is something that most adults do not like to do，and teens can usually find jobs around their neighbourhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.

Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.

Looking for jobs can seem hard at first ，but if you have a try ，it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.

    Sticking to a vegan diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in recent years, veganism (素食主义) has become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle trends in the world. According to HuffPost, more than 3 million people in the United States are vegans. In the UK, about 542,000 people have chosen veganism over the past decade.

What is driving this growth in veganism? One reason may be that people want to protect the environment. Producing meat and dairy products is known to be stressful for the environment. According to a 2013 study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, global meat manufacturing causes about 18 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is higher than all the world’s cars, trains and planes combined. According to BBC News, another reason is that many of today’s young people believe it’s wrong to kill animals for food.  Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said she chose to become vegan when she realized that eating animals is a choice people make, rather than something we must do to survive. “Becoming vegan was an ethical(伦理的) decision,” she told the Guardian.

For many people, veganism simply means eating no meat, cheese or eggs, but going animal-free also applies to fashion and manufacturing. For example, leather is used to make shoes and clothing. Every year more than a billion animals, from cows to horses to snakes, are killed to make leather products from their skins. Now, many brands are looking for other materials. The sports brand Puma, for example, has made shoes out of pineapple leaves. Tesla, the US car maker, is said to be removing animal-based leather from its seats. Earlier this year, US singer Lady Gaga created the vegan makeup brand Haus Laboratories. On the brand’s Instagram account, it says: “Cruelty-free and vegan, because we love animals and you.”  So, if you’re interested in protecting animals and saving the environment, you might want to give veganism a try.

1.Which can be the reason for people being vegetarians according to the text?

A.They want to survive on earth.

B.They pursue fashion in the world.

C.They try to adopt a green lifestyle.

D.They worry about their own health.

2.What can you infer from the last paragraph?

A.Going animal-free means letting go of the animals.

B.Veganism simply means boycotting goods from animal skins.

C.Lady Gaga created her makeup brand out of pineapple leaves.

D.Many brands are seeking substitutes for animal-based leather.

3.What’s the author’s attitude to veganism?

A.Supportive. B.Ambiguous.

C.Skeptical. D.Prejudiced.

4.From which part of a newspaper is the text probably taken?

A.Science. B.Fashion.

C.Entertainment. D.Life.

    Zhong Lin Wang started playing table tennis only four years ago. But last year, he and other researchers came up with a clever way to up their game: Build a smart table.

Now they’ve just introduced a new sample table to the public. It can measure where a ball lands, how fast the ball’s going and where it’s headed. The table can do that because its innovative wood surface forms the top layer of a novel self-powered sensor. The data it acquires could guide players to perform better, says Wang.

Wang is a materials scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta. He describes the invention as a machine that can learn to “analyze the behavior” of how someone plays. Importantly, the new smart table won’t need a battery to detect the ball. When a ball hits the wood, it sets off a chain of events that can both generate a small electric current and record measurements of the ball’s behavior.

Wang is an expert at inventing devices that provide their own power. In 2012, he invented a triboelectric(摩擦生电的) nano generator. He calls it TENG, for short. Even if you’ve never heard of “triboelectricity,” you know the phenomenon. Most of us call it static electricity(静电). The first TENG that Wang put together in 2012 looked like a sandwich. It had layers of charged materials separated by a small gap. When the sandwich bent or changed shape, its layered materials rubbed against each other. This caused electrons to start building up on one side.

What makes the new game table truly unique is its use of wood as one of the TENG’s layers. As it turns out, Wang explains, “wood is an excellent triboelectric material.” Building a full-size game table would require a large grid(网格) of wood TENGs. Wang says that’s on his drawing board as a project for the future.

1.Why is the new game table really unusual?

A.It can measure the size of the ball. B.It uses wood as a TENG’s layer.

C.It has a table surface made of steel. D.It needs a charged battery to function.

2.Which of the following can probably replace the underlined “detect” in Paragraph 3?

A.Stop. B.Start.

C.Observe. D.Release.

3.What can we learn about TENG?

A.A TENG had several charged materials connected tightly.

B.A TENG was controlled by rubbing its layered materials.

C.A large grid of TENG can build a full-size game table.

D.A TENG was a nano generator making static electricity.

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

A.A Unique Smart Game Table B.A Wise Table Tennis Lover

C.Ways to Win in Table Tennis D.New Rules for Table Tennis

    It is a dangerous time to be a child in Yemen. Besides facing war, hunger and poverty, more than 25 percent of children are not in school.

But eight-year-old singer Amr Muqbel, known as “The Water Seller,” is different. He attends school in the morning. In the afternoons, he used to sell water to help support his family. Now, he makes extra money singing for weddings, fans and several major Arabic news channels.

“I'm proud he has become a singer,” said Ahmed Muqbel, Amr's 70-year-old father, with tears in his eyes. One of their relatives is a soldier, he added, and Amr used to sing war songs. Now, he sings about love and peace in a country where other children can be forced to join military groups.

Amr first became well-known this year when a local hiker recorded him singing to a group of people. The hiker posted the recording on Facebook, where it received 20,000 likes, loves and sad faces. Since then, the boy appears on Arab media regularly.

Amr's family remains poor, however. He, his mother and his four siblings (兄弟姐妹) still struggle to survive in a small house. But as Amr gains the attention of music professionals, the family hopes his voice will help lift them further out of poverty.

His father wants to go to Lebanon so Amr can try to get into the professional music business. His mother wants Amr to continue to be mentored (指导) locally, so he can sing more often at weddings to increase the family's income. “His songs come out from his heart,” said Mohammed al-Adaimi, a 23-year-old who listens to Amr's songs on YouTube. “He should stay and sing for us and we will support him.” Other local people said they are proud that a young Yemeni is getting international attention. “He is a talented boy” said Mabrouk al-Baqash, who has been listening to Amr sing for eight months. “It's fine to travel to Lebanon.”

1.Why is Amr different from many other children?

A.He has been selling water locally. B.He can go to school all the time.

C.He can sing to support his family. D.He doesn’t suffer from poverty.

2.What can we know about Amr?

A.He can’t go to school and is in danger in Yemen.

B.He can’t help his family out of poverty at present.

C.He makes his father disappointed as a local singer.

D.He has to serve in army because of singing war songs.

3.Who supported Amr to go to Lebanon?

A.His parents. B.Ahmed and Mohammed.

C.Ahmed and Mabrouk. D.His mother and Mabrouk.

4.Which of the following can best describe Amr?

A.Gifted. B.Proud.

C.Far-sighted. D.Well-educated.

It was a Saturday afternoon. The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.

On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my five­year­old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys，” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all！”

Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother！” Mother shouted at the top of her voice.

“Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it！” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide­eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World.

I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.
