    People may have some unclear memories of their childhood， but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in "Snow White"， the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood"．1. For example， "True love can overcome anything"， and "Even a frog can turn into a prince"． However， at a certain age， we start to learn new things about life， particularly that love doesn't always win， and that a frog is just a frog．

2. Just look at animated films like "The Lion King" and "Frozen"， which have millions of fans young and old． And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland - a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of "Childhood" and "Fairy tales"．

"Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form，" wrote US author Laura Packer． "They are stories of love and loss， desire and death， riches and ruin．" 3. But if children only see just one side of reality， adults usually see the other． For example， in the movie "Maleficent"， we′re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen． 4. Instead， she suffers great losses growing up， leading to the creation of her "evil'' side． And in US author James Finn Gamer's book "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories "，he tells the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood"， but with a modem touch．

5. They may usually start with "Once upon a time but as we grow older， we learn that every story doesn't always need a "happily ever after" to be a good one．

A．Fairy tales are all about reality．

B．But somehow， our love for fairy tales never dies．

C．Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales．

D．The theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness．

E．Fairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children．

F．It looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read us at bedtime．

G．Unlike the children's version of the story， we see that the queen wasn't born evil．

    Astronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation that are uncommon on Earth. Some of this radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health. It is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study suggests the radiation does not shorten astronauts' lives.

Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data about male astronauts from the United States. They then compared this data with information about a group of men who are in good health, richer than most Americans and receive good health care-professional athletes. The study found that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than other Americans.

Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition than the average American. Some earlier research has linked being an astronaut to a lower risk of early death, the researchers noted. The findings were reported in the publication Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

Much of the existing research on mortality rates in astronauts has not yet explored the mental and physical demands of this job. There also has not been a lot of research on whether astronauts show what is known as the "healthy worker effect". This effect leads people with employment of any kind to have fewer medical problems than people who are unable to work, said Robert Reynolds.

Reynolds said, "The challenge has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be had they been otherwise comparably employed but had never gone to space at all. To do this, we need to find a group that is comparable on several important factors."

1.How did researchers carry out their study?

A.By doing interviews. B.By analyzing some factors.

C.By comparing different data. D.By doing experiments in the lab.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A.All radiation is harmful to human health.

B.Athletes tend to be poorer than most Americans.

C.Healthy worker effect makes working people healthier.

D.Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being astronauts.

3.What can he inferred from Reynolds' words?

A.They are determined to face the challenge.

B.The research is almost impossible to conduct.

C.Several important factors hold back the research.

D.Astronauts are as healthy even they haven't been Astronaut.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Astronauts----Healthy or Otherwise

B.Astronauts Are as Healthy as Athletes

C.Radiation Affects Astronauts' Health

D.Astronauts---- Well-Educated and Earn More

    Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.

The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?

A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.

While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.

This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.

So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.

1.Robert F.Kennedy is cited（引用）because he _______.

A.praised the UK for its GDP. B.identified GDP with happiness.

C.misinterpreted the role of GDP. D.had a low opinion of GDP.

2.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?

A.Its results are inspiring. B.It is sponsored by 163 countries.

C.Its criteria are questionable. D.It removes GDP as an indicator.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a country’s success?

A.Favorable. B.Indifferent.

C.Critical. D.Defensive.

    By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 4 best books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.

Disappearing Earth

By Julia Phillips

In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.

No Visible Bruises

By Rachel Louise Snyder

Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.

Midnight in Chernobyl

By Adam Higginbotham

Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing disaster.

Exhalation

By Ted Chiang

Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.

1.Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?

A.Disappearing Earth B.No Visible Bruises

C.Midnight in Chernobyl D.Exhalation

2.How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?

A.Delighted. B.Awkward.

C.Tense. D.Calm.

3.What kind of book is Exhalation?

A.A folk tale. B.A biography.

C.A love story. D.A sci-fi story.

Everyone has an ideal. Some want to become soldiers to protect their motherland; other want to be teachers, scientists, or doctors to rescue the sick and the wounding. But I want to be shoe designer. I will invent a specially kind of shoes. They are very strong, because people can wear them to protect their feet wherever they go. They keep cold away, so people can keep them warm even in snowy weather. In either side of each shoe, there is a solar-powered lamp, which give off light. Therefore, when people walk in darkness, they will no longer fear being trapped by something or stepped on something that may hurt them. To realize my ideal, I will study much more harder than ever.

Everyday Habits of People with Impressive Memory

People blessed with an impressive memory generally admit that they use various strategies to improve their ability. But even if you're not a memory genius, there are things you can try,1.

Establish routines

2. For example, always hang your car keys on a hook or put them in the same place by the front door. By following established routines, you are decreasing the chance of having to struggle in the morning rush, which is believed to contribute to forgetfulness.

Use Post-it notes

Keep some in every room and stick a reminder where you are most likely to see it. If you need to remember to phone a friend later in the day, put a note on the phone so that you will notice it during the day.

3.Embrace this technology!

Your cell phone comes with a built-in calendar you can set to remind you of what you need to do during the day. Use it!4. Having access to them wherever you go with a smartphone only makes them even more effective. There is a saying that what gets scheduled gets done.

5.

Research indicates that most people need six to eight hours of sleep (that’s at least two cycles of deep sleep)per night, for their brain to go through the chemical changes needed for long-term memory. A good sleep can make all the difference in your brain power and therefore gives you a sharpened mind.

A. Sleep on it.

B. Sharpen the mind.

C. To-do lists are also keys to living an organized life.

D. This simple activity can boost memory by 20 percent.

E. These common-sense strategies can help you forget less often.

F. It really is easier to find things if you always put them in the same.

G. If not, write it down and put it where you can see it. so you don’t forget about it.

    If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.

Those underutilized(未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy.

These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children’s old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.

Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.

This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment.

1.Why can people now sell things more easily?

A. People nowadays buy more things.

B. Businesses want to buy the things they don t use.

C. There are now more market stalls.

D. There are now online platforms to do business.

2.Which of these is something that we might underutilize?

A. Thick coat in a cold country.

B. Clothes our babies don' t or can't wear any more.

C. The latest smartphone.

D. The storeroom in our house.

3.It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because _____.

A. what they sell might be of a lower quality.

B. they have to follow certain regulations.

C. they don't have a business license.

D. they like to criticize their buyers.

4.What might be a good title for this article?

A. The consumerist society B. Parents who need money

C. The rise of the sharing economy D. Why we buy things we don't need

    Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get a picture of the moon that doesn't look blurry! In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a high­quality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera, you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.

Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase except the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phases provide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper. What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it's best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon.

Learn when the moon rises and sets. When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer. This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac(年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area.

Pick a clear night. Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs. Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing. A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography.

Choose a location away from direct light sources. The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures. It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source.

1.Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”？

A. Unclear. B. Transparent.

C. Confusing. D. Ugly.

2.Why is the new moon not a perfect choice when taking a photo of the moon?

A. Because the new moon is not enjoyed by most people.

B. Because the new moon is visibly seen from the earth.

C. Because it appears at the earliest time of a month.

D. Because the new moon can't be photographed on Earth.

3.Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon?

A. A high­quality camera. B. The skills to set up the camera.

C. A weather app. D. A suitable location.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo.

B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo.

C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo.

D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo.
