You Can Fly More Frequently When traveling, airfare can take up a large part of your travel budget. What if you could fly practically for free? If it were possible, then you would probably travel more, right? 1.. While it may seem like a lot of work to accumulate miles, it’s pretty easy when you know how. Sign up for mileage (里程) programs. You can’t gain miles if you don’t sign up. 2.. Pick one or two airlines that you use most often and try to bring all your points into those programs by flying with them. Buy gifts and have dinner out. Most mileage programs have a business list where you can register several credit or debit cards and then earn miles for each purchase you make through their participating shops or meal you have at restaurant partners. 3., so why not make it count toward future travel? Use your credit card. Look for a card that gives you rewards. There are a ton of credit card companies that offer mileage cards that give you miles for each dollar you spend. Use it for bills, groceries, gas and anything else you would normally use your bank account for and then pay it off at the end of the month. 4.. Rent a car. Whenever you rent a car, you have the choice to include your frequent flyer member number. 5., but it can be more beneficial to pay less than a dollar a day to earn one or more miles per dollar spent on your rental. A. Some will charge a fee B. With frequent flyer programs, you can C. You’re probably doing these things anyway D. It’s an easy way to accumulate miles and can add up really fast E. In fact, you can get a free plane ticket just focusing on certain ones F. Join frequent flyer programs, so you can start accumulating those miles G. There are plenty of ways to earn money just by doing things you’re already doing
There is a breakthrough in building aircrafts. Bendable wings covered with overlapping(部分重叠) pieces resembling fish sizes could be used to build swifter, fuel-efficient aircraft, a new study finds. Nowadays, conventional aircrafts typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tip as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires and pulleys that twisted the wood-and-canvas wings, to control the plane, Scientists have long sought to develop aircrafts that can alter their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable, said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong, lightweight modules. The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered in “skins” of overlapping strips of flexible material resembling fish sizes. These strips move across each other as the wings alter, providing a smooth outer surface, the researchers explained. Wind-tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic properties of conventional wings, at about one-tenth the weight. Initial tests using remotely piloted aircrafts made with these wings have shown great promise, said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate student at the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT. The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler. “Still, the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet, ”Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned aircraft, leading to drones (无人机) that can fly for a long time, to help deliver internet access or medicine to remote villages and do some rescue works.” 1.Why did most previous aircrafts fail to fly like birds? A. The previous wings were complicated and weighed a lot. B. The previous aircraft relied on ailerons to control directions. C. There were few scientists to do research on the lighter wings. D. There was little fuel in the aircrafts to make them fly in the air. 2.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The shape of the new wings. B. The result of the tested wings. C. The function of the small motors. D. The working principle of the new wings. 3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“disassembled”in Paragraph 6? A. put away B. taken apart C. invented D. analyzed 4.What will the drones made by the new wings be firstly used to do? A. Carry passengers. B. Save people in danger. C. Test planes. D. Monitor the villages.
Could the device, smartphone or PC, which you re using affect the moral decisions you make when using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at random. One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley(有轨电车) problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a-set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33. 5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users. “What we round in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma, “Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.” As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily. “it’s clear that we need more research on how our devices affect our moral decision making because we’re using screens at an ever increasing rate. 1.Why did the author mention the trolley problem? A.To introduce a difficult problem to readers. B.To introduce the aim of carrying out the study. C.To show an example of the questions in the study D.To show the difficulty in dealing with dilemmas. 2.How do the smartphone users of the study behave in dealing with emotional dilemmas? A.Calmly. B.Cruelly. C.Hesitantly. D.Enthusiastically. 3.Dr Albert believes that compared with PCs, smartphones . A.help people bear more pressure B.help people make decisions quick C.make people feel more mentally distant D.make people stay happier to solve problems 4.What can we infer from the text? A.Shopping online has a great effect on making moral decisions. B.The people using smartphones are more than those using PCs. C.People who often use smartphones or PCs always meet with dilemmas, D.It is common for people to be involved in making moral decisions in daily life.

Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it?1.I'm here to try and convince you that porridge can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day. Porridge is a type of food served for breakfast, usually a type of grain with either milk or water. It is thicker than liquid, but not solid.2., so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day. Porridge preparation, such as the amount of materials and cooking time depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base.3., I put a very big handful of oats (麦片) in a pot, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. It takes about five minutes to cook. Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors (味道). Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. 4., I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper-you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Seeds, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then sugar and chocolate are also very tasty options. 5.. Either oats or corn or both are "staple foods" for most people on the earth. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local materials to make your porridge interesting-whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. Hopefully porridge sounds a lot tastier now! A．If you've never eaten it B．If I'm cooking for myself C．The porridge base is very easy to digest D．It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either E．It is often heated up but lacks all kinds of nutrition F．You can make porridge almost anywhere in the world G．Although some people think this makes porridge boring
The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman. Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences. University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmighamˈs wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. " Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements. Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birminghamˈs China Institute said: "The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham. " 1.What do Chinese students have to do to enter the University of Birmingham before 2019? A. Score over 80% of the universityˈs qualification examination. B. Prepare Birmingham degree programmes. C. Acquire the right to permanent residency. D. Go through a foundation year. 2.Who is the announcement intended for? A. Chinese students. B. All people living in the UK. C. The students of the UK. D. The foreign students in China. 3.Which of the following best explains "integral" underlined in paragraph 3? A. complete. B. indifferent. C. necessary. D. unimportant. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. The introduction to the "Gaokao" of China. B. The University of Birminghamˈs admission to Gaokao. C. The high quality students accepted by top universities. D. The history of the University of Birmingham.
Ten minutes of gentle exercise can immediately change how certain parts of the brain communicate and coordinate (协调) with one another and improve memory function, according to an encouraging new study. The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or, on a separate visit, pedal the bicycle at a pace so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates. It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people completed a computerized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this process--riding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then completing memory testing--but the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine(磁共振成像仪)that scanned the people's brains while they responded to the images. Then the researchers compared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each people's brain lit up at the same time with parts of the brain associated with learning, indicating that these physically separate parts of the brain were better connected now than when the people had not first exercised. 1.How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By filling up questionnaires. B. By interviewing many people. C. By comparing experiment data. D. By referring to historical reports. 2.Who might benefit most from the study result? A. The marketers promoting fixed bicycles. B. The young people crazy about body building. C. The white collars doing long-term mental work. D. The blue-collars doing heavy physical labor work. 3.Which of the following statements agrees with the study result? A. The light exercise is only good for young people. B. The more the exercise is, the better the brain works. C. The exercise can coordinate different parts of the body. D. The exercise has more positive effect when the brain works harder. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. Even ten minutes' exercise may be good for the brain B. There is no need for humans doing exercise every day C. Only ten minutes' light exercise benefits the young most D. Exercise can change people's brains and minds in a long time
As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air. "As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking. Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving. In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year. During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot. Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.
