Challenges of life are of great importance in our grow. They remind me my days in senior high school which I joined in the military training. It was the first time I have lived away from my home so I found it difficult to fit in. And the training officer was strict in me. I once thought I couldn’t stick to the end, but anyway, I made them. The trials made it much easy for me to adapt to life, but the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life.

I'm sorry to know that you feel upset about having trouble in fit into the class in the new school. One of the reasons, I believe, is that you might be very shy to talk confidently with your classmates. Maybe you are afraid that your classmates will make fun your accent. However, it is natural for you to feel lonely occasionally. As far as I was concerned, with your effort, you can manage to overcome your difficulties. To start with, you may as well learn to speak Mandarin, which can be good understood by all the Chinese. Besides, comparing note with your classmates frequently is a good way for you to make new friends. Last but not least, you had better take the part in more school club activities, that you can express your ideas and know about others. I do hope we can adapt to the new school life as soon as possible. Best regards.

It was in our school hall where our school held a variety show last week. Filling with enthusiasm, all the teachers and students were attended the show, which proved lively and fantastic.

    Nowadays, there is a new kind of education called open education. This way of teaching permits the students to develop their own interests in many different subjects. Open education permits students to take responsibility for their own education.1. The open classroom, however, may allow them to enjoy reading. They may be happier in an open education school. There is no need to worry about grades or rules.

2.For some, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. There is great possibility that they won't take advantage of open education. Because open education is not the same as traditional education, these students may have difficulty getting used to it. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers are not into it.3. Thus those teachers who want to try open education may have many problems at their schools.

So now you know what open education is. And the advantages and disadvantages of open education have been fully explained. You may have your own views about open education. The writer considers it as a wonderful idea, but only in theory.4. The majority of the students, but of course not all students, may want some structure and rules in their classes, in which case they would be more likely to learn well.5.

A. To sum up, open education is like a coin which has two sides.

B. Many teachers don't believe in it.

C. But many students won't do well in an open classroom.

D. Open education is better than traditional education.

E. In fact, it may not work well in a real class or school.

F. Open education is a good idea in practice.

G. Some students do poorly in a traditional classroom.

    In 1987, a mountain on Mercury (水星) got a name--Li Qingzhao, the name of a Chinese female poet. According to the International Astronomical Union, all new mountains on Mercury must be named after a litterateur (文人) or an artist who was famous for more than fifty years, and dead for more than three years, before the date they are named. Of the total of 310 names, fifteen are named after famous Chinese writers and artists, and Li Qingzhao is one of them, together with Li Bai, Bai Juyi ,Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun.

What did Li Qingzhao do to deserve such an honour? Li is a poet of the Song Dynasty. Compared with other male poets in China, who have left hundreds or even thousands of poems, Li has only eighty-seven, like a drop in a bucket of water However, her talents and artistic creativity as shown in her eighty-seven works have earned her a lasting place in the Chinese literary circle.

Li was born into a scholar-official family in 1084. Like other young women in a rich family, she was well-read and trained in Chinese calligraphy (书法) and musical instrument. Most young women of rich families were taught to follow the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" at that time, while Li was free in both character building and artistic development.

When it was time for her to start another stage in life--marriage, Li married Zhao Mingcheng. a student at the supreme academy of the imperial court. The couple devoted their spare time to their common interests --literature and the collection of calligraphy and painting.

Unluckily, their happiness didn't last long. The power struggle at the very top of the government destroyed everything. Li first followed her husband to Qing Zhou, and spent the next ten years there. It turned out that the ten years in Qing Zhou was the most productive period for her artistic creativity. Then in 1127, when the North Song Dynasty ended, Li followed her husband to Lin'an. Soon her husband died. And the worst part was that not only did she lose her loved husband but she also lost most of her accumulated (积累的) works.

Later, Li remarried a government official, who turned out to be a total liar and treated her badly. She died in 1155 in loneliness and pain.

1.With the strict rules set by The International Astronomical Union in naming mountains on Mercury,_____________.

A.Li Qingzhao is the only female poet

    It is hard, it hurts —and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week.

Of course, some people run to lose weight, or to get fit, and these are great reasons. Running is also easy to do, it's cheap, and you can do it when you want. All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK.

But for many of those two million runners, the real reason we head out to beat the roads until our legs hurt is more intangible (无形的) than weight loss or fitness.

Many runners become interested in times. They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K, or run under four hours for the marathon. Yet, really, these times are almost meaningless. And as soon as they are achieved, another target is thrown out almost immediately.

The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves. But why do we put them there in the first place? Nobody ever gives a wise answer Deep down, we all know the answer.

Running brings us joy. Watch small children when they are excited, at play, and mostly they can't stop running. There's a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield, caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood, is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run. “I don't ever know what I was running for一I guess I just felt like it,” he says.

This will to run is born. In fact, humans may well have evolved (进化) the way we did because of our ability to run. As children, and even adolescents, we can respond to this natural call to run whenever the feeling takes us.

As we run, we begin to sense that childish joy, which is born to live a wilder existence. As we run, the layers of responsibility and identity we have gathered in our lives, father, mother, lawyer, teacher, all fall away, leaving us with the raw human being.

If we push on, running harder, deeper into the loneliness, further away from the world and the structure of our lives, we begin to feel strangely excited, separated yet at the same time connected, to ourselves. With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin to get a sense of who, or what, we really are. After a long run, everything seems right in the world. Everything is at peace. To experience this is a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us coming back, again and again, for more.

1.Why does the author think setting time goals is almost meaningless?

A.Because those time goals can' t be achieved.

B.Because those time goals can be achieved easily

C.Because people will be very proud once the time goals are achieved.

D.Because there will always be a new time goal once the former one is achieved.

2.The author mentions the reasons for running EXCEPT___________.

A.challenging ourselves B.running away from responsibility

C.losing weight and keeping fit D.bringing us joy and peace in mind

3.Which of the following words can best describe the author's attitude towards running?

A.Uncertain. B.Doubtful.

C.Supportive. D.Puzzled.

4.What does the underlined word "this “in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.breaking the 40 -minute barrier for the 10K.

B.running under four hours for the Marathon.

C.feeling separated from the world after running

D.feeling everything is right after a long run.

5.What may be the best tile of this passage ?

A.Running to Keep Fit B.Running to Break Records

C.Running to Be the Real You D.Running to Become an Adult

    Nearly each country in the world has its official honors reserved (保留) for outstanding people. For instance, in the United State, the highest civilian honor is the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In China, there are also such official honors given to people who have made outstanding contributions (贡献)to the nation's construction and development.

On Sept. 17, 2019, President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席法令) to award 42 individuals the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and various honorary titles.

Shen Jilan, an 89 year old farmer, is one of the eight people who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is the only person in China who has served at all 13 National People's Congresses (人民代表大会) since 1954. She is the very witness to the development of the People's Congress system. It was she who put forward the clause on “equal pay for equal work” between men and women, which was written into the first Constitution of PRC in 1954.

Tu Youyou, who had received the Nobel Medicine Prize in 2015，was also awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is famous for finding out Qinghaosu, which has helped to save millions of lives. Before the discovery, malaria is a deadly disease to people of tropical developing countries in South Asia, Africa and South America. Therefore, her discovery of Qinghaosu and its treatment of this disease is considered as an important breakthrough in the 20th century.

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻), received the Medal of the Republic as well. He is known for his great contributions to hybrid rice research and the wonderful work he has done to improve rice production in many developing countries. Judging from his appearance, he looks like a farmer rather than a scientist, with his sunburnt face and slim, strong body. That is because he always works under the sun for a long time and that is how he developed hybrid rice which produces 1/3 more than normal rice.

Ye Peijian who has been devoted to China's lunar program for twenty years, received the honorary title “the people's scientist”. He is well-known as a leading scientist in deep-space exploration at the China Academy of Space Technology.

1.Based on the presidential degree,__________________.

A.Shen Jilan was awarded the presidential medal for the clause on "equal pay for equal work"

B.Tu Youyou received the Friendship Medal for her contribution to find out Qinghaosu

C.Yuan Longping was awarded the highest Civilian Honor for his hybrid rice research

D.Ye Peijian received the honorary title “the people's scientist” in 2019

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Shen Jilan didn’t get equal pay for equal work as men.

B.Malaria helped Tu Youyou to discover Qinghaosu to treat disease

C.Yuan Longing has improved the word rice production by 30%

D.Ye Peijian has had rich experience in deep-space exploration

3.Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A.An advertisement. B.A science fiction.

C.A heath journal. D.A news report

4.What adjectives can be used to describe the four persons?

A.Devoted and hard-working B.Creative and easy going.

C.Polite and devoted. D.Honest and patient.

5.What is the writer going to talk about following the last paragraph?

A.Ye Peijian's work at the China Academy of Space Technology.

B.Tu youyou's devotion to the discovery of Qinghaosu.

C.Yuan Longping's great work in hybrid rice research.

    We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the important first step if we are to have good relationships with others. 1.

1. Forgive yourself.

You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. Maybe you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. 2. So do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.

2. Focus on your strengths.

3.You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.

3. Write your success stories.

One reason we may not like ourselves is we are so focused on what we don’t have that we forget about what we have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things. 4.For example, if you have some good friends, that’s already an achievement. If you have a good family, that is also an achievement.

4. Stop comparing yourself with others.

You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.

5. 5.

You don’t like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won’t like yourself if you know that you lie to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, that gives your mind a reason not to like yourself. That’s why it’s important to always be true to yourself. In whatever you do, be honest and follow your conscience.

    Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence software to recognize the faces of chimpanzees in the wild. The new software will allow researchers to significantly cut back on time and resources spent analyzing video footage.

“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, recording their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much.” says Dan Schofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Primate Models Lab. “By using the power of machine learning to unlock large video footage, it makes it feasible to measure behavior over the long term. Observing how the social lives of a group change over several generations become possible as well.”

The computer model was trained using over 10 million images from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) video footage of wild chimpanzees in West Africa. The new software is the first to recognize individuals in a wide range of poses, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting, poor image quality and movement blur (模糊).

“Access to this large video footage has allowed us to use cutting edge deep neural networks to train models at a scale that was previously not possible.” says Arsha Nagrani, co-author of the study and DPhil student in University of Oxford. “Additionally, our method differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to raw video footage with limited manual intervention (人工干预) or pre-processing, saving hours of time and resources.”

The technology has potential for many uses, such as monitoring species for protection. Although the current application focused on chimpanzees, the software provided could be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of artificial intelligence systems to solve a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.

“All our software is available open-source for the research community.” says Nagrani. “We hope that this will help researchers across other parts of the world apply the same cutting-edge techniques to their unique animal data sets. As a computer vision researcher, it is extremely satisfying to see these methods applied to solve real, challenging biodiversity (生物多样性) problems.”

“With an increasing biodiversity crisis and many of the world’s ecosystems under threat, the ability to closely monitor different species and populations using systems will be important for protection efforts, as well as animal behavior research.” adds Schofield. “Interdisciplinary cooperation like this have huge potential to make an impact, by finding solutions for old problems, and asking biological questions which were previously not available on a large scale.”

    A dozen international coffee experts moved around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping,smelling and tasting. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches attentively as the judges’ circle, awaiting a decision on her latest crop of beans.

In recent years, China is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu’er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados (酷爱者) from across the globe.

“Coffee has huge potential in China,” says Liu Ying, who is working in private investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu’er five years ago. “The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea.” Still, Pu’er remains synonymous with tea. In a region of China known for thousands of years of tea growing, a new crop is beginning to change the country’s landscape: coffee. This town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er. But the region’s mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China’s young people move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu’er’s farmers are catering to the demand. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu’er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world - rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.

In April, Seattle’s annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks’ launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.

With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke (定制的) ways to create distinct flavors -allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee. “At current coffee prices, I can’t even feed my family,” says the farmer Yang. “My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans.” That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor, or allowing them to “honey” in their sugary inner layer, which adds a slight sweetness.

“If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me,” says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu’er’s Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a laughter. “It’s a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.”

John Otway

John Otway has been playing music and making records in the UK for more than 40 years. Over the years he has released more than ten albums. He has played hundreds of concerts. He has written two autobiographies. He has worked with some of the country’s best musicians and he has even made a film about his life. But despite all of this, most people have never heard of him.

Otway released his first record in 1972, but it was the Punk Movement a few years later that really gave him his big chance. Otway wasn’t the greatest musician but his songs were always fun, and his performances on stage were always entertaining - there was a good chance he would fall off the stage at least once in each show. The punks liked him, and in 1977 he had a small hit when his single Really Free made it to No. 27 in the UK top 40 charts. Otway really enjoyed his success but unfortunately, no more came. Not one of his records over the next 30 years was a hit.

Although he never had much commercial success, Otway had a lot of very loyal fans. When someone asked him what he would like for his 50th birthday, his reply was: “A second hit.” His fans went out and bought as many copies of the new single Bunsen Burner as they could. And in October 2002, Otway finally saw his wish come true. In a chart that featured international superstars like Pink, Will Young and Oasis, Bunsen Burner made it to No. 9. Many high street shops refused to sell the record, saying that Otway was too old and unattractive for the teenage market. Otway didn’t care. He celebrated his success with an appearance on TV’s biggest music show Top of the Pops.

These days John Otway continues to play his music around the country, and there are always plenty of people who are happy to go and watch him perform. He’s a great example for anyone who loves making music. You don’t have to be young, good-looking (or even very talented) to enjoy a long career in the music business.
