My brother Donald didn’t do well in math. When the day of the exam comes, Donald sat next to Brian, which was always good at math. Donald careful copied Brian’s answers. At end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded it. Then she decided to give a prize to the student who got the high grade. But it was a bit of difficult for her to make a decision, because Donald and Brian got the same grade. The teacher thought about that and made on her mind to give the prize to Brian. Donald said it was unfair. “That’s true,” the teacher said. “Therefore, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know’. Your was ‘Neither do I’.”

    Life can be so difficult these days. It is the time that you all should admit you need help in organizing your lives. Here are some tips that will help you.

Write everything down and do not rely on your memory. 1. If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when you have hit your head and forgotten your own name.

2. Try this experiment before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you do not use. Or, if you are a really pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you can not find any more items to throw.

Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you have not read, worn, or used whatever they are, then you are probably not going to use them at all. 3.

Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. 4. Distribute tasks evenly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily; while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly.

Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can not completely organize your life in one go. 5. Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.

A.Practice putting things away immediately.

B.Throw one thing before buying something.

C.It is a long and never-ending process, so be patient.

D.Give them to a charity or sell on the Internet.

E.It is extremely exhausting to clean everything all at once.

F.To keep up with tasks, you need to work with your family.

G.We all agree most of us have a tough time remembering things.

    Camels are well known for their ability to survive the hot and dry conditions of the desert，but a study suggests they once grew well in colder climates. Scientists have found fossilized（化石） parts of a leg bone belonging to a giant camel that lived in the forests of Canada's High Arctic about 3.5million years ago.

The research is published in the journal Nature Communication. Dr. Mike Buckley, an author of the paper from the university of Manchester, said, "What's special about this story is that this is the northernmost evidence of camels. "The area was warmer than today 3.5 million years ago, but the ancient giant camels would have had to face long and bitter winter, with temperatures below freezing. There would have been snowstorms and about six months of darkness.

While scientists have known for some time that camels existed in North America, with the earliest creatures dating to about 45 million years ago, they were astonished to find a species at such a latitude（纬度).

Over the course of three investigations, which began in 2006，researchers from the Canadian Museum of Nature collected 30 pieces of the leg bone from Ellesmere Island in Canada.

Their size suggested that the animal was about 30% larger than today's camels, measuring about 2.7m from foot to shoulder. Despite its size, the researchers believe it would have been similar in appearance, although it probably had a thicker coat to stay warm.

To investigate further, the team took the protein found in the bone from the fossils and modern animals. Dr. Buckley said, "The results tell us that it is a direct ancestor of modern camels. "

He said the findings provided a new insight into the evolution of this animal. "It suggests that many of the adaptations(适应) that we currently think of, in terms of camels being adapted to warm desert-like environments, could have actually originated through adaptation to quite the opposite cold, bitter environments. Camels 'humps（峰）which store fat could help get through an Arctic six-month winter. Their large eyes would have helped them to see in the low light，and their wide，flat feet would have been just as useful for walking on snow as they are on sand，"he explained.

1.What surprised the scientists when they found the giant camel fossils? ___

A.Their size. B.Their shape.

C.Their place. D.Their number.

2.According to the text, the ancient giant camels___.

A.could date to about 45million years ago

B.struggled to survive in severe conditions

C.were the first ancestors of modern camels

D.lived in an environment without light

3.Compared with modern camels, the ancient giant camels___.

A.were much taller

B.had more humps

C.were slightly stronger

D.had thinner coat

4.We can infer from what Dr. Buckley said that___.

A.giant camels had special adaptations for polar life

B.cold environments prevented giant camels developing

C.the cause of the extinction of giant camels remains unknown

D.the hard climates forced giant camels to adapt to warm environments

Each Indian（印第安人）was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself．But his playmates（游戏伙伴）would always give him a name of their own．No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen．Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy．But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off．If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.

The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy．His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle．When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief．If he had done well, he would get a good name．Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse．So an Indian’s name told his record or described the kind of man he was.

A man was given many chances to improve his name, however．If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name．Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names—all good and each better than the last.

An Indian’s names belonged to him for the rest of his life．No one else could use them．Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family．So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.

Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed．I know of only three of four times when this happened．It is the rarest honor for a person—the honor of assuming（承担） his father’s name.

1.An Indian could be given the second name by__________.

A.his father B.the enemy

C.the chief of the tribe D.his childhood friends

2.The greatest honor an Indian could earn was____________.

A.a victory in his first battle against the enemy

B.a name given by the chief

C.a ceremony to get his real name

D.the right to use his father’s name

3.If an Indian had more than ten names, it meant that____________.

A.many people in the tribe liked him B.he was a great fighter

C.he had a lot of friends D.he had fought in fewer than ten battles

4.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A.The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant

B.The life name of an Indian was earned in battle

C.An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself.

D.The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.

    Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.

But Jim’s one great shortcoming was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practise lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away.

One morning, however, he didn’t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn’t ended till the early hours of the morning. And so far the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. “I’m afraid Jim can’t come to work today. He isn’t feeling very well.”

Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn’t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling(发抖) and his face was bright red.

“Thank you for letting me know,” said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “just a moment, madam, who’s speaking.”

“Oh!” he stammered (口吃的说), and going all out for making a voice like a woman, he cried in a voice: “This is my landlady speaking!”

1.According to the passage we know that Jim was a ___.

A.skillful worker

B.skillful carpenter

C.researcher studying how to be a carpenter

D.being-trained carpenter

2.What does the underlined word “blush” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.stammer B.look away

C.go red D.feel hot

3.Why did Jim try to practise lying?

A.To avoid being laughed at by his workmates.

B.To overcome his shortcoming.

C.To get his boss pleased with him.

D.To get ready for asking for leave.

4.At the end of the story poor Jim let the cat ____.

A.out of the bag B.out of the house

C.into the bag D.into the house

The Little Girl Who Lost Her Name series is a perfect gift for children – a series like no other. Wonderfully written and illustrated, the series uses every name to create a different story.

The series follows girls who lose their names and head off on wonderful, magical adventures, to track down the missing letters. Along the way they meet lots of strange, wonderful and wise characters, who all help in the search. For example, if the child’s name is Emily, then she’d meet a forgetful elephant, a creative mermaid (美人鱼), a brave Inuit, a misunderstood lion and a friendly yeti (雪人). Each character gives the first letter of their names, and finally, her name is found!

The series is for names between 3 and 12 letters long. If the child has a very short name, don’t worry, as we will throw in an extra story, so every book has at least 24 pages. It is perfect for children between two and six years old, though happy customers have also bought it for newborns. The books are printed especially for you, in a large double-A4 landscape format (版本) on thick, uncoated, environmentally friendly (and quite attractive) paper.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen，Rose was already checking name tags on the trays（托盘）. “Hi，I'm Janet. ”I tried to sound cheerful，although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. "I'm scheduled to work with you this week."

Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do？Start the coffee？"I asked.

Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.

I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled，“That's not the way to make coffee. ”She stepped in and took over.

Nothing I did pleased her. All morning，her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.

Totally exhausted，I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school，I had never before met anyone like Rose.

Fighting back tears，I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "What shall I do？”The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.

Working with Rose the next morning，I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose's way as much as possible. As I worked，I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.

Over the next few days，an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.

Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time，she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman，I listened to her，something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.

The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.

    Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams, as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying, confusion, feeling stressed while looking problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying, confusion, feeling stressed while looking at difficult questions, feeling blank, sweating, sleepless, etc. 1.   Therefore, it’s extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear.

There are many students who take studies lightly, leaving everything to be studied at the last minute. As a result, when exams are around the corner, they feel scared, as they don’t know where to start, and what to study.2. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don’t make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding, the chances of forgetting are more. 3. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides, students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind.

Apart from the tips above, here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example, before the exam, avoid studying anything new. 4. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions, ignore them for the time being, and attempt those you find easier. 5.

A.So start studying much before the exam.

B.The first thing you should do is to set a goal.

C.It is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it.

D.Once you have completed them, go back to the difficult ones.

E.Facing such anxious problems makes students more negative.

F.Having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied.

G.Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have.

    Having your nose in a book might seem a little anti-social at times—but reading could actually make you a kinder, more considerate person, a study has found. Readers were more likely to act in a socially acceptable manner, while those who preferred watching television came across as less friendly and less understanding of others’ views, researchers said.

123 participants in the study were quizzed on their preferences for books, TV and plays at Kingston University, London. They were then tested on how much they considered people’s feelings and whether they acted to help others. Researchers told the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton yesterday that fiction fans showed more positive social behavior.

Readers of drama and romance novels were also empathetic, while lovers of experimental books showed the ability to see things from different directions. Comedy fans scored the highest for relating to others. The study suggested reading allows people to see different points of view enabling them to understand others better.

The researchers added, “Exposure to fiction relates to a range of empathetic abilities. Engaging with fictional prose and comedy in particular could be key to improving people’s empathetic abilities.”

However, the authors warned the study did not prove cause-and-effect. So it could be that reading causes positive behavior, or it could be that thoughtful, well-mannered people are more likely to prefer reading. So it is a good idea to pick up a book to begin your travel with the author. Each author will show how they would react to certain situations through their characters. Everyone can view the same situation differently, and from 1,001 different angles. The more you read, the much better you can understand other peoples’ opinions.

1.Why did the writer mention the result of watching television?

A.The writer is a anti-social reporter. B.The writer shows benefits of reading.

C.The writer is a considerate person. D.The writer becomes socially acceptable.

2.What were the participants tested on?

A.The skills of communicating. B.The time of reading books.

C.The places of getting new books. D.The ways of expressing feelings.

3.Who can observe differently?

A.Readers of drama. B.Writers of romance novels.

C.Readers of comedy. D.Readers of experiments.

    Inside a brightly-lit classroom, around 20 schoolchildren are singing the Chinese national anthem. That song is followed by another tune in Chinese—one typically sung during the Lunar New Year. But this scene is not taking place in a Chinese school but at Lakewood Premier school, thousands of kilometers away in Nairobi（内罗比）. Here, schoolchildren are learning Mandarin, a language spoken by nearly 1 billion people almost 8,000 kilometers away from their home. More will join their ranks in 2020 when Mandarin will be officially taught in all Kenyan schools alongside French, Arabic and German, which are already on the curriculum.

Sandra Wanjiru, 13, is one of hundreds of African schoolchildren who are increasingly skilled in the Chinese language. Lakewood Premier School, where Wanjiru studies, has begun the program a year early to give its pupils a head start. “I chose to learn Chinese first not only because it’s interesting to learn a foreign language but also because I would want to travel and do business in China,” said Wanjiru.

Julius Jwan, CEO of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), told Chinese state—owned Chinese news agency Xinhua: “The place of China in the world economy has also grown to be so strong that Kenya stands to benefit if its citizens can understand Mandarin.” China has become increasingly powerful across Africa over the past two decades. Through President Xi Jinping’s flagship Belt and Road Initiative, China has loaned money to African countries to build highways, dams, stadiums and airports.

Henry Adramunguni, a specialist at Uganda’s National Curriculum（课程）Development Centre, said Mandarin was included in the curriculum because it is one of the United Nations’ languages of work.” We want to give the opportunity for our young Ugandans to have access to jobs, education and business beyond our borders. That’s why we’ve given them this opportunity to learn Chinese,” he said.

1.What made Sandra Wanjiru learn Chinese language at last?

A.The school asked him to learn. B.He found it was interesting.

C.He believed it was very useful. D.The language was very easy.

2.How did China help African countries?

A.China built many schools for Africa. B.China lent money to begin building.

C.China shared the curriculum. D.China let Africans go to China.

3.What did Henry Adramunguni think of students’ learning Mandarin?

A.It was necessary. B.It was useless.

C.It was not beneficial. D.It was not profitable.

    An author who surveyed 600 millionaires has claimed that she found the secrets of getting rich. Sarah Stanley Fallaw, the author of The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth, got her findings after she surveyed American millionaires in 2015 and 2016. The book is a follow-up to her father’s research in the 1998 bestseller The Millionaire Next Door, which Thomas J. Stanley wrote with William D. Danko.

Stanley Fallaw argues that resilience（抗逆力）in the face of refusal and strict goal setting are important to building wealth. “To build wealth, to build one’s own business, to ignore critics and media and neighbors, you must have the ambition to keep pursuing your goals past refusal and pain,” wrote Stanley Fallaw in the new book, according to Business Insider. She added, “Millionaires and other economically successful Americans who decide to climb the corporate ladder（企业晋升制度）, or struggle to create a financial independence lifestyle early do so by pushing on without stop.”

Stanley Fallaw stresses the importance of setting goals and sticking to them, especially for budgeting. She says that living modestly even as your income grows will allow you to devote a greater percentage of your income towards savings and building wealth. “Most millionaires we interviewed stressed the great freedom that comes from spending below their means,” Stanley Fallaw writes.

The author says that the temptation（诱惑）to keep up with the spending habits of the people around can be highly harmful to building wealth. Particularly in the age of social media, when lavish（浪费的）vacations and new purchases are broadcast for the world to see, the perseverance（坚持）to live thriftily（节俭地）is important, Stanley Fallaw argues.

Last year, I went to Australia for a short-term study like an international student. One of my classmates suggested we shared our favorite recipes for foods from our own countries during New Year’s party. We all agreed to this wonderful idea and cooked my unique dishes for the party. Hariyati from Indonesia shared a kind of cookie what was shaped like elephant ears. Susan from South Africa prepared some sweet dumplings packed in several banana leaf. Chiemi from Japan cooked special rice balls mixing with fish. And I was served Daoxiao noodles, my hometown—Shanxi’s local food. These variously foods were all delicious. Therefore, my favorite was still Chinese food.

    Started in 1636 Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with（涉及）special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer in all.

    Hundreds of thousands of lives were saved in 2017 alone because of the improvement of the environment, according to a new research. Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of clean fuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientist.

PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.

In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization(WHO), and the government introduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “significant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of China’s recent clean air actions.”

These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and Air Visual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.

Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and Air Visual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollution was linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.

D.The reduction of the clean fuels.

2.Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?

A.It was called smog.

B.It made the air cleaner.

C.It went into the blood.

D.It had a bad reputation.

3.When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?

A.In 2008. B.In 2013.

C.In 2017. D.In 2018.

4.What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?

A.They built the thermal power plants.

B.They stopped using industrial boilers.

    A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China — riding their bikes the entire way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to ''do something a bit different''.

3th Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kinhood of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.
