    The time-out (暂停)is a method to punish your children's misbehavior (不当行为).Children are taken away from their present situation for a few minutes. During the time-out they are put in a place and not allowed to do anything. It's a great way to help your children calm down and realize their shortcomings. 1..

Decide what is worth a time-out

Find a quiet moment to discuss a time-out principle for your family, determining where you'll give time-outs, for what reasons, and for how long. 2.. And you can make your first time-out feel prepared and calm.

Give a warning

Instead of suddenly giving a time-out to your children, warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty. 3.. At this age children are often angry without realizing it.

Giving them a time-out can make them calm. Some kids dislike time-outs very much, so that finally the warning itself does the job. However, warnings are not enough. When your children hit, kick, or bite someone, use a time-out right away.

4.

It's a good idea to choose a time-out place, such as a chair or the end of a hallway. But remember that the place you choose needs to be safe and shouldn't be frightening.

Decide how long time-outs will last

5.. Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down. If it is too short or too long, your children may forget the punishment or become upset. Many experts advise one minute per year of your children's age. You can watch the clock yourself or set an alarm clock and tell them that the punishment is over when it rings.

A. Select a place

B. Use time-out regularly

C. A time-out needs enough time

D. You needn't make decisions in a hurry

E. Here are a few ways to make it work for you

F. Give your children hugs and kisses after the time-out

G. This gives them a chance to control their own behavior first

    Millions of people suffer from motion sickness (晕动症). They have a lot of activities they fear. They often avoid doing these activities which include long-distance airplane travel, sea-trips, road-trips, even certain movies and video games. However, the French company Boarding Ring promises that it has its way to solve the problem, as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses!

Why do many people suffer from motion sickness? It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts. For example, when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus, your inner ear realizes the move but your eyes, focused on the screen, think you don't move.

Boarding Glasses tries to ease (减轻)motion sickness by making the user's eyes and ears transmit the same message. After the brain receives the same message, it will think you are in a moving environment Though that sounds difficult, the science behind the glasses is surprisingly simple.

The plastic frames (框架)，made up of two round frames on the front and two on the side, are filled with some blue liquid. Any movement can cause the liquid to flow around the eyes. This allows the eyes to sense the move and send the correct signal to the brain.

According to Antoine Jeannin, CEO of Boarding Ring, Boarding Glasses has been tested. The CEO said that over 95 percent of the users felt better after wearing the glasses. The best part is that Boarding Glasses only has a frame, so a single pair can be worn among a group of friends, or even an entire family!

1.Why do some people suffer from motion sickness according to the passage?

A.Their eyes can't see the move.

B.Their bodies are in a bad condition.

C.Their ears can't hear in a moving environment.

D.Their brains can't deal with mixed signals from body parts.

2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The shortcomings of Boarding Glasses.

B.The design for Boarding Glasses' future.

C.The working principle of Boarding Glasses.

D.The response of people wearing Boarding Glasses.

3.Which word can best replace the underlined word “transmit” in paragraph 3?

A.calm B.send C.destroy D.attack

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

A.Boarding Glasses Promises to Ease Motion Sickness

B.Why Do People Dislike Motion Sickness

C.Why Do People Suffer from Motion Sickness

D.Boarding Glasses Can Make You See the World Clearly

    It's not possible to stay together with loved ones all the time. Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. During that time, they might face something terrible. Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort (安慰)loved ones. There is no use worrying a lot about them. Instead, keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. I think it is what I can do to help my loved ones.

My daughter has been working full-time during summer about 10 hours a day. She has to study hard for a big entrance exam. At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and analyse (分析)the situation. Was there a better way of time management? Was there a better way of studying for this test? However, that was not always helpful. Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to improve. However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation? It was hard to read someone's mind. I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情符号)this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness.

It is a fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. I've realized it and I'm grateful for this chance to share online. Give it a try too and you'll enjoy sweetness.

Nobody would like to experience failure. We all want to succeed. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. 1.

•Set a time for success.

Set a date for success. Know when you hope to realize your goal. 4.By setting a time limit, you are making the process realistic.

• 5.

Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and go on.

A. Make the right decision.

C. I have made a list of four habits to help you set goals and realize them.

    Global warming is the process of earth's atmosphere heating up. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of earth's atmosphere has gone up 1 Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already affecting the earth, s climate.

Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, and polluting the environment are some of the that the temperature has gone up. Many scientists believe that the biggest causes of global warming are new human technologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, prevent heat energy from escaping back into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it.

Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising temperature can,, t be blamed on nature. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human activities is throwing nature off balance.

The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.

Over the past last 100 years, the sea level has risen 6-8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.

1.What is mainly talked about in this passage?

A.The melting of glaciers. B.Global warming.

C.The world's weather. D.The earth's temperature.

2.What causes global warming according to scientists?

A.Human activities B.The nature itself

C.The earth's atmosphere D.New discoveries

3.From passage we can see that global warming will bring about________.

A.the pollution in the atmosphere. B.the rise of glaciers.

C.noisy pollution. D.natural disasters.

    Primary school students in China started using new editions of their textbooks last September, with new illustrations(插图)to go with classic Chinese poems.

With the 110 classic poems for primary school students from Grade One to Six come one hundred illustrations painted by artist Huang Guoxiang of Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. The old version of Chinese was in use for more than 10 years. “Our aesthetic(美学的)tastes have changed. The illustrations in textbooks should keep up with that,” said Huang.

“An editor from People’s Education Press called me last September and asked whether I was interested –to create illustrations for three poems: Ode to Goose, Min Nong and Spring Dawn. I made it. After about 20 days, the publisher called me again and asked me to do all of them,” Huang said.

Huang also said he referred to the Chinese textbooks his son used previously before working on a new painting.

But he did not just create any ink paintings; Huang changed his style of painting a little bit for his young readers. Primary school students may not necessarily be attracted to traditional Chinese ink painting, as the stokes(笔画)tend to be thick and the colors dark. So he mixed ink painting with watercolor to make the pictures visually appealing to the young readers while fully expressing the meanings of classic poems.

“It’s not that difficult to illustrate a single poem. The hard part is: sometimes there are three poems on one page and the contents of these poems may change greatly, so it was difficult for me to express the feelings of all of them with one illustration. Sometimes I had to think with a bigger picture and create something that fits it all,” added Huang.

1.The new illustrations in primary school textbooks were created to        .

A.make more money

B.keep up with the times

C.cut the cost

D.attract high school students

2.What does the underlined word “appealing” probably mean in the fifth paragraph?

A.Attractive.

B.Active.

C.Entertaining.

D.Influential.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Huang found it easy to complete the creation.

B.Huang created no more than three paintings.

C.Huang changed his painting style to suit school students.

D.The Chinese textbooks Huang’s son had used before were useless.

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A.A Great Painter

B.Chinese Ink Paintings

C.Chinese Classic Poems

D.New Textbook, New Illustration

    I agree with the view that stars in the entertainment business are usually overpaid.1.They reach the very top of their profession. So the size of salary that stars expect is closely linked to the competition they have to overcome in order to reach success.They are, in effect, rare talents.

2.Sport stars and pop stars, for example, are soon replaced by the next younger, more energetic generation, while the good looks of most film stars quickly fade.3.

Unfortunately, professionals from other fields are paid so much less that it is hard to disagree with the statement. Teachers, nurses, laboratory researchers etc. are never listed among the best-paid professionals.4.They are more important to our well-being and our future than the stars who can earn their fortunes so quickly.

In conclusion, I think there may be some reasons why entertainment stars earn high salaries.5.The gaps between their earnings and their contributions to the society cannot be reasonable. Such professionals should be much better appreciated and better paid.

A. Things should be changed now.

B. But overall 1 agree that they are overpaid.

C. There are many people living on very limited incomes.

D. Yet they make a much greater contribution to human society.

E. So this short working life may be reasonable for the very high pay.

F. Furthermore, the majority of stars do not hold their top position long.

G. However, it is also true that only a few people can get these huge salaries.

    The Disneyland parks are full of amusements, but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries, rubbish, and groups of visitors. People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well-equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.

None of this happened by accident. Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937. He first imagined the park's buildings in a small size. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages. He visited Colonial Williamsburg, where employees dressed up and walked around.. Then he organized a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland. Walt Disney had blueprints（蓝图）drawn up, and tried to get the permission to break ground（破土动工）.

In 1953, he bought some land in Anaheim. Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed. Railway track had to be laid around. Disney chose the hub-and-spoke（轴辐式）street pattern that many cities have. “I want Disneyland to be a place where you can't get lost,” he said, Designers and architects also diagrammed（图解）the rides and made models, while artists painted the background.

Finally in July 1955, the visitors came. If they picked up maps, they could see the results of years’ planning: the shops and restaurants, the square, and the streets. The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.

1.What does the author want to show about Disneyland parks in the first paragraph?

A.The convenient environment. B.The amusing tourist attractions.

C.The differences between the parks. D.The visitors' common requirements.

2.Why did Walt Disney travel to different places including Beverly Park?

A.To choose a place for construction. B.To advertise his Disneyland Park.

C.To experience American culture. D.To get inspiration for his park.

3.What kind of person is Walt Disney according to the passage?

A.Confident but selfish. B.Stubborn but kind-hearted.

C.Considerate and determined. D.Careful and hard-working,

4.What’s the best title of the text?

A.It is worthwhile to build large parks

B.Disneyland has been built like a brand- new city

C.How a theme park was built in a big city of USA

D.Disneyland--a famous park around the world

    Many people believe eating healthily is expensive and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Pubic Health ,shows this isn’t the truth.

Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. Most of the Australian family food budget is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt. As a result, two-thirds of adults （63%）and one-quarter of children are overweight.

We used the Australian Health Survey 2016-2017 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high and low-socioeconomic（社会经济地位低的）areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.

In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods（14%）, and sugary drinks（4%）. In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $5560.93 every two weeks. In the high socioeconomic area, these numbers are S661.92 and $580.01.

Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so it is surely not the price that helps to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.

1.What did the researchers find?

A.Most Australians eat unhealthily.

B.Half Australians live on junk foods.

C.Most Australian kids have fat problems.

D.Australians have a preference for sweet foods.

2.How did the researchers get the result?

A.By doing the study online. B.By making a comparison.

C.By carrying out interviews. D.By asking personal questions.

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A.A healthy diet is actually cheaper.

B.Australian foods are becoming healthier.

C.People choose junk foods for their low prices.

D.Healthy foods are becoming more expensive.

4.What might the following paragraph be about?

A.The harm of junk foods. B.How we can eat healthily.

C.Why people choose junk foods. D.The advantages of a healthy diet.
