At midnight on New Year's Eve, every door and window in the house is opened to let the old year leaving. We eat dumplings and set off fireworks. Children were given little red envelopes with luckily money inside. In the last day we have the Lantern Festival, that we go out at night carrying paper lanterns. During the festival, they drop in at relatives' and friends' houses bringing gifts or red envelopes, and greeting one another with "Happy New Year". This is special way for us to express good wish to each other.

How to Avoid the Worst Cold-Weather Packing Mistakes Yes, you can definitely blame winter clothes for your overstuffed(塞得过满的)suitcase. After all, warm clothing takes up a lot more room than summer T-shirts and shorts. To make matters worse, you’ve got to pack for overheated restaurants and freezing outdoor conditions. 1. . Here are some winter-packing mistakes we learned the hard way, and tips you need. 2. Your shoes face a big challenge in the winter. They need to be: insulated, waterproof, and warm; provide great traction in case of ice; be able to withstand salt; and be comfortable to walk in. So, your sneakers aren't going to cut it. Just remember to wear your heavier snow boots on the plane; otherwise, they'll take up half your suitcase space. Packing the wrong materials 3., It absorbs moisture and sweat, which will make you cold and keep you freezing. You can replace cotton with wool, as wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. Leaving behind sunglasses Since you're not headed to the beach, you might forget to pack your sunglasses. The sun can shine brightly on freezing days too tough, so be able to pack yours. 4.. Not bringing medicine Cold and flu cases rise during the winter, and while you definitely don't plan on getting sick while traveling, you should be prepared in case it does happen. Make sure you've packed medication for upset stomach, fever relief, body aches, and congestion, 5.. Just get travel-sized versions of you go-to drugs. A. But we're here to help B. Choosing the right shoes C. Wearing the wrong shoes D. Cotton is a terrible choice for the winter E. Better be a pair which is easy to pack and hard to break F. You don't have to travel with the whole medicine chest though G. Also throw some sunscreen in there as you can get sunburned in winter
Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. “It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial,” said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message “sit less and move more and more often”. However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. “This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits,” he said. 1.Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. 2.What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity 3.What is the author’s attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful B.Critical C.Supportive D.Neutral 4.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reinforces” in the last paragraph? A.Highlights B.Conveys C.Excludes D.Denies
When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs — two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the "head" of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and the trees. It was the holy(神圣的）and protected place that was his, and ours through him. After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When thy came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that "head" place in my Dad's presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child's first birthday. Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, "Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side." He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, "My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit, ” But I didn't. When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don't know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with. It wasn't easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that "honoring one's father” is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose. 1.Why did Dad always sit in the big chair at the end of the table before he retired? A.Because the chair was large enough for him. B.Because sitting there he could see the trees and grass in the yard. C.Because it was the holy seat for the head of the family. D.Because the chair was comfortable with arm rests. 2.What do we know from the second paragraph? A.The writer's parents moved out because the house was too old. B.The writer didn't want to hurt his father’s feelings. C.The writer's wife was rude to his parents. D.The writer didn't dare to refuse his wife's request. 3.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Dad felt upset after being removed from his usual place. B.The writer was satisfied with the new seating arrangement. C.Dad continued to tell stories to cover his embarrassment. D.Dad didn't appear to mind where he sat. 4.What does the writer intend to tell us? A.Respecting Dad is more than the question of dining seat. B.It is not easy to go against parents' wishes. C.Think twice before you act. D.Every coin has two sides.
Nothing good generally comes of a conversation that start with the words, "I think you should probably sit down before I tell you this.” And so it came to pass. Away for Christmas, we got a call from kind friends at home, our neighbour's house had caught fire while they were out. The fire didn't spread to our house but the smoke very much did. It's weeks of either throwing out, or sending away for specialist cleaning, every single thing into which smoke could have permeated(渗透)because the particles(微粒) are an ongoing health risk and washing isn't enough. Anything soft—sofas and carpets and children’s teddy bears, clothes—is suspected. We will be seeing in the New Year in a decidedly minimalist fashion. What I didn't expect to feel, however, is this lucky. Friends and neighbours have come together with incredible generosity. We will never again underestimate the closeness of the village community in which we live, or the innate kindness that is most people's natural reaction to trouble, and are grateful to be reminded of so much that is good. But that's not the only thing I've learned. For in a sense, we have a chance to start again. The surprise on being forced to think about what might urgently need replacing is how short the list of essentials seems; how much we must have been hanging on to out of habit, and how much we have been conditioned to think was important. It's all too easily assumed that family history lives in tangible(有形的)things— old photographs, a dress bought decades ago for a night heavy with memories — but that's not quite right. These things were only reminders of what we already carry with us in head and heart. Walking through the house, sweeping up the broken glass, I realised that the answer to the old question of “What would you save in a fire? ” is actually that nothing really matters but each other. 1.What happened to the author's house? A.It caught a fire. B.It was affected by a fire. C.It was broken into by friends. D.Its windows were broken. 2.What does the underlined word "suspected" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.something that may be damaged. B.something that may not be genuine. C.something that may not be so good. D.something that may be dangerous. 3.What did the author expect to feel? A.People around him were cold to others' trouble. B.His friends and neighbours were so generous. C.People in his community were close to each other. D.He was so lucky to find much that was good. 4.How will the author probably feel when the New Year finally comes? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Excited. D.Contented.

Smartphones store a lot of personal data. These devices know our names,the names of our friends，our addresses and where we are right now.1. A weather app needs to know where a person is to report the local forecast，for example. Many smartphone apps don't cost anything to download and use.But don't be fooled. There's still a price. 2. Those same apps may often send data on to advertisers as well.Those advertisers will pay well to know how people behave and live.Once your data leave a device，you can't get them back. And that data theft may not be harmless. Moreover，those data may tell when someone leaves home and when he gets back. 3. Social media sites often have access to a user's images and posts. Recently a new online tool has been developed to track the misuse of private data.4. It tells people when their apps are sending data，which can help spot the misuse. SPEProxy identifies the misuse of data using an approach that has already been used to diagnose illnesses. In the clinical field，a kind of medical software is used to collect data from a patient. Then it compares them to those symptoms of many possible illnesses to make a diagnosis. Right now，people can only track data with the new tool by going to a website.5. It's also a bit awkward to use.People may not want to go to the trouble of getting online to track their data. A more convenient version that people could install on their phones is in urgent need. A．It is called SPEProxy. B．That means it's limited. C. It is more than convenient to use in computers. D．Your privacy is what's paying for it. E．Some apps use those data to do their job. F．Some apps may charge you much money to operate. G．They can show how and where people spend their days.
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of "time" and "destination"（目的地）are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感觉）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life. 1.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? A.To avoid jumping to conclusions. B.To stop complaining all the time. C.To follow the teacher's advice. D.To admit mistakes honestly. 2.The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________. A.are very patient in their observation B.are really fascinated by nature C.care only about the names of birds D.question the accuracy of the field guides 3.Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them. B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time. C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them. D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination. 4.In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________. A.use our senses to feel the wonders of the world B.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life C.open our mind to new things and ideas D.try our best to protect nature
A qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.”Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright(剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story. When Clekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879,he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast,often producing a short story in an hour or less. Checkhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic(悲剧的) events. In 1892,he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays.He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist. Some of Chekhov’s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.One of his famous stories,“The Man in a Shell ”，about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life was selected as a text for Chinese senior students. 1.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ________ . A.had a lawful lover B.wrote only short stories C.used to be a lawyer D.was a capable doctor 2.In 1880, Chekhov . A.became a full-time writer B.studied medicine in Moscow University C.practiced medicine in his hometown D.published his most memorable stories 3.According to the passage,which of the following words can’t be used to describe Chekhov? A.Sensitive. B.Calm. C.Quick-minded. D.Warm-hearted. 4.Which of the following is the right order of the events? a. became a doctor b. became a full-time writer c. started to publish comic short stories d. wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper e. entered the Moscow University Medical School A.e c a d b B.d a b c e C.e c b a d D.a e c b d
The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.” There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not.

Food Parts You Should Never Throw Away in the Garbage Pineapple Core When you carve out the core of a pineapple, don't throw it in the garbage. You can use the pineapple core for all kinds of recipes, and there are tons of vitamins and minerals hiding within. To use the pineapple core: chop it and add it to fruit salad, blend it into smoothies, cut it into cubes and freeze for later use, or simply add it to water or even tea to improve flavor. Kiwi Skin If you never thought you could eat kiwi in the way you eat a peach, think again. That skin really is good for you and contains a lot of vitamin C, and in fact, it's also higher in fiber than the rest of the fruit. Of course, that rough, ugly skin isn't for everyone, so if you don't like it, try adding a whole kiwi to a smoothie to hide the taste of the skin. Banana Peel Most of us eat the banana without giving the soft peel a second thought. Here's why that's a mistake: banana peel contains tryptophan(色氨酸), which increases "the happiness hormone" to help with mood regulation and nerve system. There are a few creative ways to use the peel. Cook or boil for at least 10 minutes to soften. You can add it to smoothies, stir-fries, or soups. And, for a treat, simply slice and bake a banana with the skin on. Watermelon Skin and Seed The delicious, red inside makes for a refreshing snack or juice, but you're able to get some powerful nutrients in the skin and seeds as well. Cut out the white part under the green outside and use it in your cooking. It has vitamin C and B6, to keep you healthy. As for the seeds, you can roast them in the oven. Then add them to salads or to nut snacks. 1.Which of the following has a larger amount of fiber than its other parts? A.Pineapple cores. B.Kiwi skin. C.Banana peel.

C.Banana peel can help lift people's moods. D.The green part of watermelon has vitamin C and B6. 3.Where can we most probably read this text? A.In a botany instruction. B.In a medicine brochure.

Ways to Take Care of Your Books What do you do to take care of the books in your library? Some collectors refuse to read the books in their collection, so the books remain in good condition. Others buy two copies of a book: they read one and leave the other untouched. However, many readers must read their books but they still want to protect them. 1. Avoid writing. You may have been told to write in your books or even to underline words, phrases, and paragraphs. But if you plan to keep the book, add it to your library or even sell it - don't write in the book in ink. 2. Use a notebook to take notes or use pieces of paper. Avoid food and drinks. Food and drinks are things that may be dangerous to your books. 3. If you need to read while you eat, make sure your fingers are clean and dry as you hold the book or turn the pages. Take care. 4.Don't let it drop to the ground. Don't place your books with the book open, face down. You'd better use a book cover to keep your book in the best condition. 5. If you want to take care of your books, keep your book on a shelf when you are not reading them. But also take care that the books should be placed in an upright （竖立的）position. A.

A study of 3,884 students from primary schools to colleges found that examinations made 83.1 percent of primary students anxious, and more than 40 percent of high school children were out of sorts （身体不适）because of stress and anxiety. Moreover, 75 percent of the high school respondents admitted that they had problems talking to their parents and more than 55 percent of them found it hard to associate with other people, according to the study. It is not difficult to conclude that our children are not happy. Today's kids are coming home from school weighed down with backpacks full of books and worksheets. They are spending hours at desk at night, seldom going outside to play and getting to bed late. How can this be a good thing? Homework is eating away children's time to play freely with neighborhood kids - and more importantly, their time to sleep. Homework can enrich the education process. But like all things, too much of it may dampen （减 少）a student's enthusiasm for learning. To raise cheerful, contented and well-mannered children, parents need to put in a lot of time and effort. Their eyes should go beyond their children's preparations for tests. Children need a break too. So let them be in control of parts of the day. 1.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.High school students suffer more than primary school students. B.Most of the students have no problem talking to their parents. C.The teenagers suffer from heavy workload. D.The students are not happy at home. 2.According to the text, what do the children have to do with too much homework? A.They have to take their backpacks. B.They have to stay up late. C.They have to eat more. D.They have more time to play outdoors. 3.What does the author suggest the parents do? A.They should spend more time with their children. B.They need to ask their children to work hard. C.They should not care about their children's test results. D.They need to give children more free time. 4.What is the author's attitude toward giving children too much homework? A.Negative. B.Supportive. C.Unconcerned. D.Uncertain
For those concerned about wrinkles（皱纹）in the skin, it might be a solution: a newly-invented “second skin” that can make aged skin look more youthful. The wearable film（薄膜）developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (（MIT）) has shown promise in a series of experiments where it was used to wrinkles, under-eye- bags and dry skin. When used to the face or body, the thin film reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags, and helped keep moisture （水分）in dry skin, thus making the skin look like younger. It is designed to be applied in the morning and removed at night. The "second skin” remained unharmed against normal daily wear, and the stresses of exercise and swimming, without falling off. “You can rub it from the comer and remove it. But it doesn't do that under normal daily wear. We don't want something that falls off," an MIT researcher said. While normal make-up can cover imperfection on the skin, the new coating changes the way skin behaves by giving it the moisture of young skin. It was developed with help from two companies: Living Proof a make-up firm, and Olivo Labs, a medical company. With more work, they believe the “second skin"' will be used to cover birthmarks, to protect the face from UV rays, or to treat skin diseases or wounds. The most impressive results came when the researchers used the film to under-eye bags. By pressing the loose skin, the film improved the appearance of the under-eye bags to a level that had only been achieved before with operations. 1.How does the “second skin" make people look younger? A.By removing make-up on the skin. B.By helping the old skin fall off. C.By making the skin less dry. D.By protecting the face from the sun. 2.What is the most effective function of the “second skin”? A.To mask birthmarks. B.To treat skin diseases. C.To protect wounds. D.To better the under-eye bags. 3.We can learn from the passage that . A.people can wear the "second skin” on rainy days. B.the "second skin" has been used to treat wounds. C.the "second skin" is designed to fall off by itself at night. D.two medical companies helped develop the "second skin". 4.Where does this passage probably come from? A.A news report. B.A science magazine. C.A travel journal. D.A make-up advertisement.
While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who, and different relationships between their classmates, I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports. When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It's indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite gender（性别）.In my opinion, even though some high school relationships might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim（微小的）that there really is not a point to it. Firstly you have to think about such a question whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives. The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I do advise we should deal with it in a proper way and follow our teachers' advice if necessary. 1.Between boys and girls, the relationship of being good friends might be than that of being boy/girl friends. A.shorter B.weaker C.stronger D.slimmer 2.How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students? A.Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic. B.Studying is far more important than dating in school. C.In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage. D.Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family. 3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to . A.advice given by both teachers and parents. B.the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school. C.the pressure from school lessons and sports. D.the relationship between students of opposite genders.
