Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.

Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.

But number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜)- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.

In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.

    Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名)for an Academy Award ,or Oscar.

Labaki directed the film Capernaum ,a film about a Syrian refugee (难民)boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. It was nominated for best foreign language film.

Labaki wil1 be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told the Associated press "I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented, nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore."

Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.

Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation (热烈欢迎)at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the third-highest award given at Cannes.

The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said.

Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.

The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.

Labaki called making the movie a life-changing experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.

We can't help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear that keeps growing," Labaki said.

Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.

1.Where does Labaki come from?

A. Syria. B. Kenya

C. Roma. D. Best picture.

    If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.

1.Kilimanjaro

Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.

You don't have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment

2.Atlas mountains

The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.

3.Mount Kenya

A long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.

Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.

The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.

4.Mount Meru

Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, but Tanzania's second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.

It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.

Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.

1.What do we know about Kilimanjaro?

A. It's comparatively easy to climb.

B. It's Africa's second highest mountain.

C. Its six routes are equally difficult.

D. It lies to the east of Tanzania.

2.Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro?

A. To avoid big crowds of climbers.                      B. To hike with the local Massai.

C. To get used to the situation. D. To experience what most people do.

3.Which is the lowest of the four?

A. Kilimanjaro                 B. Atlas mountains

C. Mount Kenya                 D. Mount Meru

My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCA. My wife and I were traveling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.

We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida.

Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn’t right but just couldn't find out what was happening.Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time.

As I came around, I quickly realized a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me. Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.

My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive, checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurses, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.

Paragraph 1：

Upon landing, I remained in my seat, allowing other people to go first.

Hearing that, the captain left and returned a couple minutes later with a pair of his own blue jeans. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), also named COVID -19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing – the NCP’s symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu, but it’s potentially more dangerous.

Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola. 1. How can they cause so much trouble?

Viruses are non-living organisms approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.

Viruses can infect every living thing – from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. 2. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections bring about no noticeable reaction.

Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. 3. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the T-cells of the immune system.

But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? 4. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”

However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.

5. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.

A.But what are viruses?

B.For the time being, these are only theories.

C.Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.

D.The answer may be even less satisfactory than it now appears.

E.Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.

F.Experts are concerned about the bad effect that it had on people’s health.

G.For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life.

    On the summer of 1995, a second-year graduate student named Sergey Brin was giving a tour of Stanford University to prospective students. Larry Page, an engineering graduate from the University of Michigan, was one of those being shown around the campus.

“We both found each other obnoxious and annoying with strong opinions about things,” said Brin. “But we said it a little bit jokingly. Obviously, we spent a lot of time talking to each other, so there was something there.”

The technology of the web at the time meant that people could tell where a webpage linked to just by reading its code. However, to get a complete list of every page to which it linked, they needed to check every other website on the Internet.

Page’s “BackRub” project aimed to qualify these backlinks (反向链接). It was a complex task that not only demanded vast computing resources, but also required extremely complex mathematics, which was where the math genius Brin came in.

Later, Page and Brin came up with the PageRank algorithm - a ranking system which would prove to be a breakthrough idea. And then, BackRub became Google, a play on the term “googol,” meaning “10100.” The system successfully enabled users to search all 24 million pages stored in its database.

On September 15, 1997, Google.com was registered. In August 1998, it got its first funding in the form of a check for $100,000 written by Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, to “Google Inc.” But still there were troubles. Later that month, Page and Brin moved into the garage (车库) of friend Susan Wojcicki (now the CEO of YouTube), and received further investment from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, among others.

Early in 1999, Page and Brin attempted to sell Google to Excite, at the time the No. 2 search engine behind Yahoo, for one million dollars. However, even after the pair had been talked down to $750,000, Excite CEO George Bell rejected them. With no buyer in sight, Google started hiring engineers and moved to an office in California in March 1999. In 2001, Eric Schmidt was hired first as chairman and then CEO, leaving Page and Brin to continue developing Google’s products and technologies respectively. By the end of its first decade, Google had effectively won the search engine wars.

1.According to the article, what can we learn about Larry Page and Sergey Brin?

A.They first met each other when studying at Stanford.

B.They found their first encounter rather unpleasant.

C.They had no intention of running a business initially.

D.They got financial support from Stanford to work on the ranking system.

2.Paragraphs 4 to 5 mainly talk about ______.

A.what motivated Page to launch the “BackRub” project

B.how the “BackRub” project led to the founding of Google

C.how the PageRank algorithm worked

D.how Brin joined Page in carrying out the “BackRub” project

3.According to the article, who did NOT make an investment in Google?

①Andy Bechtolsheim.     

②Susan Wojcicki.

③Jeff Bezos.               

④George Bell.

A.①② B.①③

C.③④ D.②④

4.What may be the best title for the passage?

A.The Internet: how it changed the world

B.Giant Google: how it beat Excite and Yahoo

C.Excite: CEO regretted for refusing the best offer

D.Google at 20: how two students changed the Internet

    We say that technology is a double-edged sword -while it brings convenience, it also brings new problems. The sword of “social media” even has a gender preference in its damage: It cuts deeper into girls than boys.

Earlier studies have shown that spending too much time on social media is bad for teenagers’ mental health. Constantly watching their friends show off “perfect” lives can hurt their own self-esteem (自尊). That’s not to mention the problems caused by online shaming and bullying (霸凌).

Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University in the US, recently discovered an alarming trend: Since 2010, the number of teenage girls who suffer from major depression – showing signs like self-harm and suicide (自杀) - has increased much faster than that of boys. In an article she wrote at The Conversation, Twenge said social media, again, was to blame.

For starters, girls use social media more than boys. Boys tend to spend their screen time on games, where they talk to their teammates through headphones. This counts as real human contact. Girls, however, simply type and browse through posts, which is a much more isolated (孤立的) experience. “They’re not having a real-time conversation with someone,” Mary Fristad, psychologist at The Ohio State University, told NPR.

And when it comes to online shaming, girls are also more vulnerable than boys. “Girls face more pressure about their appearance, which could be exacerbated (加重) by social media,” wrote Twenge.

Shannon McLaughlin, for example, is an 18-year-old from Blackburn College in the US. She shared with the Guardian how social media made her feel depressed. “I was constantly confronted (面对) by women with skinny bodies who were praised for the way they looked. This was only made worse by the diet fixes and skinny culture,” she said. But McLaughlin found a solution. She started volunteering with the National Citizen Service, where she made face-to-face contact with people. “It’s so easy to forget the importance of real connections when we have hundreds of people that we’re trying to impress at our fingertips,” she told the Guardian. And she hopes that others “look up from their phones and focus more on the world around them”.

1.What did Twenge find in her recent study?

A.Overuse of social media harms teenagers’ mental health.

B.Social media does more harm to girls than boys.

C.Girls suffered more from bullying than boys.

D.Online shaming and bullying are to blame for teenagers’ depression.

2.Why do girls tend to feel more isolated than boys online, according to Mary Fristad?

A.Girls have less real-time interaction with people.

B.Playing games allows boys to have more fun than girls.

C.Girls suffer more pressure on social media.

D.Girls usually desire more contact with others.

3.The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“         ”.

A.adjusting oneself well B.fighting back bravely

C.being unconcerned about something D.being likely to be at risk of something

4.What does McLaughlin advise teenage girls to do?

A.Ignore social media and stop following a diet.

B.Connect more with the real world.

C.Constantly take part in volunteer work.

D.Make better use of phones for socializing.

    I still remember I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退). She said a polite “no”.

That didn’t stop me. I Googled the measurements for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one - keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.

I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.

One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.

My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions involved an estimation (评价) of the composer or when it was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement I was offered a place.

At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.

When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.

The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano: what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped spark my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces.

1.Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last?

A.She suddenly made a fortune. B.She had no doubt of his talent for piano.

C.She realized he meant what he said. D.She was shocked by his first performance.

2.Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.honest and practical. B.determined and hardworking.

C.humorous and reliable. D.rebellious and pessimistic.

3.The word “irony” in the last paragraph shows that the author was _______.

A.surprised B.absurd

C.satisfied D.curious

4.What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article?

A.To introduce the method of mental practice.

B.To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano.

C.To encourage people to stick to their dreams.

D.To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.

    Six years ago, Sam Shapiro’s family adopted a 15-year-old boy from Cite Soleil, Haiti. A few years later, in June 2015, Shapiro wanted to learn more about where his brother grew up, so he visited his brother’s hometown.

What Shapiro saw was a small city where 100 percent of the population lived in poverty. He saw homeless children with no access to education, activities or safe spaces to play. He also saw a run-down, abandoned basketball court.

Shapiro couldn’t fix everything. But he could do something.

“I thought athletics could be used to give kids opportunities for organized activities that could keep them off the streets,” said Shapiro.

A year after his first visit, Shapiro returned to Cite Soleil with his friend Jack Moe. The next month, Shapiro and Moe- then 16-year-old sophomores (大二学生) at the Blake School – formed a nonprofit, called “Sprint to Cite Soleil”, to benefit the city’s youth.

The core program of Sprint to Cite Soleil is basketball, but it also consists of nutrition and community-building to benefit children aged 5 to 18.

“Our mission originally was to provide a new basketball court,” said Moe. “But we soon realized that a lot of kids wanted to play basketball, and more than just a court was needed. We sent jerseys, basketballs, basketball pumps and shoes. Hundreds of kids showed up for a clinic.”

They soon hired 10 coaches and four cooks to prepare nutritious meals for the 160 boys and girls who train every Saturday and Sunday.

And they hired director Joseph Sadrack, a local native, whom Shapiro calls “trustworthy and right for the leadership position ...”

From the start, Shapiro, Moe and Sadrack agreed on how the program should develop.

“We are very much a partnership,” said Shapiro. “Personally, I’ve seen a lot of organizations trying to help in foreign countries. They have their own mindset and want to do things their way.”

“I’m not living there,” he continued. “I don’t know what they need. Before any decision is made, we ask Joseph, ‘What can we do?’ and, ‘What do they need?’”

Now sophomores in college - Shapiro at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Moe at Stanford in California - they continue their work as co-presidents of the nonprofit.

Shapiro said it’s been a rewarding experience.

“I’m proud that, despite the somewhat of a language and cultural barrier, we’re able to communicate,” said Shapiro. “I’m proud that others believe in us and trust us. That’s what we’re most proud of. Being able to create it and maintain it.”

1.Why did Shapiro go to Haiti?

A.To visit his brother.

B.To do a part-time job.

C.To help his family adopt a kid.

D.To learn about his brother’s hometown.

2.What do we know about Sprint to Cite Soleil?

A.It is only run by two American boys.

B.It makes profits from the local government.

C.It stopped after Shapiro became a sophomore.

D.It provides resources for children and teens.

3.What does Shapiro learn from the program?

A.The language barrier is a big problem.

B.It will be great for his future career.

C.It is difficult but gives him a good feeling.

D.It is too expensive but he will continue.

Peer（同龄人）PressurePeer pressure is just part of the challenges in life.1.If you need further guidance, this article might help you. It provides three effective tips to deal with it: Be with friends who respect your beliefsYou can go out with people who accept and respect the things you believe in and those who you know you can share your interests with. It is all right to be choosy with friends because you just want what is best for them and you.2.You are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides. Your friends will understand you for that. They can drag you away from discrimination and you can be confident that they will not leave you for your stand in life.3.When you are driven by so many peer pressures, you can always stay away from it. You can actually decide not to be one of them. When you have decided on it, learn to be firm with your decision.4.They should know that you cannot be forced to do certain things because you are strong and firm with what you believe in. Learn how to say noLearning to say no is one big factor to deal with some pressures from all of your friends. When you are convinced to do something you know that can only destroy you or ruin you, learn to say no.5.You cannot just say yes to anything. You have a functional mind and you know what is best for you. So learn to say no even if saying no means losing your friends.

A.Don’t blame others.

B.Have a firm decision.

C.You should know how to deal with it.

D.You can always deal with it positively.

E.Just be straightforward and say it without hesitation.

F.This does not mean you are being selfish or you are being self-centered.

G.This can make them believe that you cannot just be driven by any other thing.

    Not long ago I saw the following headline: “An anti-homework trend（趋势）goes global”. The reasoning: It stresses children out and it steals “precious family time”.

Hmm… I wonder. As a teacher, one of the problems I often come across is that students attach far too little importance to their studies, resulting in bad or incomplete work. I also wonder about the “precious family time”. If homework were abolished（废除）, would the time freed up be used for reading poetry aloud at the dinner table or having heart-to-heart discussion about the social and political landscape（局面）? In the age of the Internet and games such as Candy Crush Saga, which have absorbed the time and interest of otherwise intelligent adults, I am doubtful.

When I was a kid, homework actually created precious family time. I still remember, after supper, clearing the table and replacing the dishes with my schoolbooks. And then, in swing shifts, my working-class parents would sit down with me and, to the best of their abilities, help me when and where they could.

I have often thought that the homework question could be dealt with if one thought of homework in terms of learning to play a musical instrument. For me, this was the clarinet（单簧管）, which I began learning to play at age 9. Every week I took a 30-minute lesson from an old Polish man, Mr. Markiewicz. “Practice an hour a day, and you’ll be playing the clarinet before you know it.” Because my motivation was strong, I did practice an hour a day, and I did learn it in a reasonable amount of time.

Let’s get rid of homework, but only the word “homework”, and replace it with “practice”. As a teacher, it’s all I ask: that my students listen up in the class and then go home to practice, so that when they return to me to show how much they understand, I—and their parents—can be proud of them.

1.What might happen in the house with no homework according to the author?

A.Students will play games.

B.Students will develop new interest.

C.There will be more precious family time.

D.There will be more arguments among the family.

2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A.Mourn his precious family time’s passing.

B.Show the powerful parental forces.

C.Prove the advantage of homework.

D.Describe his uneasy life as a student.

3.What does the author suggest students do about the homework?

A.Get rid of it. B.Don’t see it as a load（负担）.

C.Take great pride in it. D.Improve their motivation（动机）for it.

4.Which is a suitable title for the text?

A.Why to value the family time.

B.An anti-homework trend begins.

C.How to solve the homework problem.

D.Developing hobbies can replace homework.

Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker（高压锅）and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.

1.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?

A.To earn some money for the family.

B.To collect manure for his crops.

C.To get rid of the terrible smell.

D.To set a good example to us.

2.What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A.It is popular among the neighbors.

B.It contains honey and vegetables.

C.It looks very wonderful.

D.It tastes quite delicious.

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

A.To attract B.To upset

C.To air D.To shut

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。

Look inside any family home in the evening, and you might see a typical enough scene: Mom and Dad, each on their own laptop or tablet, streaming movies, catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones. Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.

According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with their electronic gadgets(电子产品) than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents’ attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology.

However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view, suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.

Look back at our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books? Or is it driving families apart? Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.

    Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a way to strengthen relationships, bring up difficult topics, and just have fun. 1. Carol Bishop says, “You need to recognize if they are enjoying it,” There are also rules about what is okay and not okay to tease your child about. 2. Instead, tease kids about safe topics, like a messy room, or things that can be easily changed.

Teasing should also be a two-way street. 3. If they go too far making fun of you, be sure not to blow up. Instead, help them to learn boundaries and what may hurt others.

Teasing about a disappointing grade should only be used as a gentle reminder to study or do homework. It shouldn't be focused on the ability because that could make the situation worse. It’s not wrong to say to your child, “I'm disappointed that you got a C.”4. You need to examine if there is a learning disability or maybe they are depressed or being bullied.

From monsters under the bed to darkness and noises, fears that may seem silly to an adult may be very real to a child. 5. In fact, it could make them worse. Teasing a child who is frightened about something is not a way for them to expand their horizon—you need to make them feel secure.

A.Kids often feel hurt when teased by others.

B.Topics like appearance and weight are prohibited.

C.You have to be willing to let your child tease you about things.

D.But then you must work with them to figure out the cause.

E.But parents need to recognize when teasing becomes hurtful.

F.Laughing or teasing won't help them overcome their fears.

G.Teasing a child about sports performance can cause a child to quit the sport.

    When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes.

Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式) .It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV (简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.

Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?

1.What can we conclude from Para 2?

A.Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.

B.Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.

C.Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.

D.Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.

2.The underlined word “deleterious” in Para 3 means _________.

A.important B.harmful

C.threatening D.beneficial

3.Which of the following might Geoff Barton agree with?

A.Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.

B.Students should put all their energies into their studies.

C.The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.

D.It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.

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

A.Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?

B.What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?

C.What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?

D.Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?

    Sleep is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that sleep loss increases a person’s risk of developing serious medical conditions. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.

Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the correlation (相关性) between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the students in his class. Instead, the professor hoped the popular wrist-worn electronic device (装置), which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.

As part of the research, a quarter of the participants chose a fitness class specially created for the study. After the school term ended, the researchers carefully analysed the data. Much to Grossman’s surprise, they found no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not.

However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going through the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend (走向) from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep and his/her grade on the exams.

Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Grossman says: “We’ve heard the phrase ‘Get a good night’s sleep, you’ve got a big day tomorrow.’ It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”

The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.

The research does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the results are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?

1.What’s Grossman’s original purpose by using Fitbits in the research?

A.To improve students sleep patterns.

B.To regulate students’ daily behavior.

C.To monitor students’ physical condition.

D.To find effects of physical exercise on grades.

2.What did Grossman think of the research result?

A.It was unexpected. B.It was changeable

C.It was unreliable. D.It was fruitless.

3.What plays a more important part in test performance?

A.Sleep in the learning stage. B.Average amount of sleep during tests.

C.Sleep quality the night before the test. D.A regular bedtime.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Be Physically Active and Sleep More

B.Enough Sleep Benefits Our Wellbeing

C.Catch ZZZ’s for Good Test Performance

D.The More Exercise, the Better Schoolwork

    Japans biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot -called an Avatar -that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc. it looks like a cleaner with an iPad attached But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move slowly about the house as though she's really there.

"Virtual travel"is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have stimulating(刺激)the sense of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.

Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are signs of a post-travel society coming into being. Concerns about sustainability(可持续发展)are having an negative influence on carbon-intensive airlines. And the aging of wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual (虚拟的)reality offers an attractive response to these trend.

Of course, far- out technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to achieve: according to one investigation, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year .

But if the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to soy expand.ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ' ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future.

1.“Avatar” is mentioned in paragraph 1 to_________.

A.display how people travel with the robot “Avatar”.

B.introduce a new service offered by Japan's biggest airline.

C.lead in the topic of virtual travel by providing a vivid scene.

D.describe what the robot"Avatar" looks like and how it works.

2.It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that people's choice of virtual travel may be the result of________.

A.the demand for safe travel

B.wealthy people's growing old

C.worries about low-carbon airlines

D.the support of advanced technologies

3.By saying “far-out technologies encourage far-out claims”, the writer means_______.

A.traditional travel business is not profitable

B.global market for virtual travels is hard to predict

C.the time is ripe for selling Avatars in term of technology

D.virtual travels will take the place of traditional ones very soon

4.What's the writer's attitude to virtual technology?

A.Uncertain. B.Cautious.

C.Enthusiastic. D.Optimistic.

The other day, I was as usually walking Toby when suddenly the dog ran up to the little boy. It kept jump up, trying to get a bite of the hamburger the boy holding. It happens so fast that all I could do was shout, “Stop, Toby!” But it was too later, Toby had taken a bite from the boy’s hamburger. I felt very guilty. It was my fault which Toby wasn’t under control. So I apologized sincerely to the frightening boy and his angry mother. Through this incident I realized that I had to train his dog to behave in itself.
