One day, during the long summer holiday, Mrs. Martins took Brendon and his younger brother and sister to the beach. As soon as they got there, the three children raced down to the sea to try out their new surfboards. They were soon swimming out to the waves and riding back on their boards.

After a while, Brendon noticed that Kim was floating away from him and his sister. “Come back, Kim, "he shouted. "Mum said we have to stick together(团结). "Kim put his arms over the side of his board and began paddling (划水), but instead of getting closer, he began moving further away.

“Brendon, help!” called Kim."I' m caught in a rip(离岸流)." Brendon quickly paddled over to his brother.

“Hold on to the back of my board and I’ll pull you in,” Brendon told the frightened boy. But the rip was too strong and soon both Brendon and Kim were moving further from the beach.

“Kylie, come and help,” Brendon yelled to his sister. Soon all three children were floating away from the beach.

" It's no use fighting, "said Kylie, "We’ll just tire ourselves out. We have to stick together and hope the current takes us onto the beach again. "For the next 20 minutes, the frightened children held onto each other’s boards and let the current pull them along.

How you open your car door matters to cyclists

Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it.1.Pull the handle, and the door is open. but if you do that at the wrong time, you may create a barrier for a passing cyclist. The cyclist will be knocked off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.

Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem: open your car door with your other hand, using the Dutch reach.2.This will force you to turn your body. At least, you'll look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic. This way, you can prevent harm to cyclists.3.

The Dutch reach is just what Dutch people do. They are used to opening their car doors this way. All Dutch are taught it.4. The technique dates back about 60 years in the Netherlands, but it didn’t really become known as the Dutch reach until a retired American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States and other countries. He was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

5. When people do it, it works. To make it a habit, Charney recommends attaching a ribbon to the door handle as a visual reminder to use your other hand.

A. It's part of regular driver education.

B. The Dutch reach is a simple behavioral solution.

C. Every child is taught about the danger of careless driving.

D. And you might also keep your car door safe in the process.

E. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way.

F. Cyclists usually don't pay much attention to the cars around them.

G. That is, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door with your right.

    Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paying professions are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day.

In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelors degree for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.

The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement.

But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don’t require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”

Here are the top-paying jobs that don’t require you to work at a desk in various kinds — none of which require a four-year college degree — and their hourly salary and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants : $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical technicians: $24.68, 8 percent.

While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.

1.What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A.Turn off a switch. B.Look for a job.

C.Keep on working. D.Give up working.

2.What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph?

A.A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.

B.The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.

C.The college degree is the ticket to a position.

D.A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.

3.What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work?

A.High salary. B.Medicine.

C.Information technology. D.Work environment.

4.The writer attempts to tell us that _________.

A.“office jobs” are appealing to the middle class

B.non-desk jobs are a good choice for us

C.office jobs” are secure and high-paying

D.non-desk professions are better than office jobs

    "Is this making us old or keeping us young? "my husband asked as he lifted the three heavy backpacks from the canoe.

"I don't know, I replied. The heat and mosquitoes were getting to me, and I was wondering whether we were crazy to have started a canoe trip during the hottest week of the summer. But even in fall, our canoe trips ---- while certainly cooler --- are no easier.

I've always loved getting away from civilization to enjoy the peace of nature, to be on a news blackout(中断)and to reflect on the past year and the year to come, which is why we've been doing this regularly for most of the 38 years we've been together.

Now as we’re getting older, it's getting harder-aching knees, aching feet, aching backs. So, we're changing our habits. Instead of extreme whitewater trips in the far north, we’re going on lake trips closer by. Instead of pulling on the heavy pack myself and rising from a sitting position, my husband lifts it up while I thread my arms through the belts. Along the way, I might stop to admire the green plants beside the path or feel the soft surfaces of the moss, and my husband is usually waiting at the other end, wondering why it's taken me so long. During the night, we no longer stay up late to see the stars. Instead, we now get into the tent by 9 p. m. ---exhausted after one day's hard work --- and drift to sleep listening to birds sorrowful call.

Over the years, my canoe-tripping experience has evolved to focus less on the physical and more on the abstract things. Like a solar battery, I store up the energy I absorb from the forest, rocks and waters to help me through the rest of the year. The rhythm of paddling becomes a process of deep thinking rather than an endurance test.

"How long can we continue doing this?” asked my husband at the end of the last trip.

“I don't know,” I answered, but inside, I thought: "As long as our bodies and minds hold out. I hope forever.”

1.According to the passage, the author and her husband's canoe trips ______.

A.were difficult to complete

B.had made the couple crazy

C.made the couple look younger than their age

D.became dangerous because of the summer heat

2.By writing “we no longer stay up late to see the stars”, the author wishes to show that ______.

A.the stars are not beautiful any more B.birds night call is more attractive now

C.their habits have changed over the years D.they are too tired to do the same things

3.What can be the best title for the text?

A.An Unforgettable Trip B.My Trip with My Husband

C.Life Is a Hard Trip D.Love for Canoe Trips

    Motivate yourself to be on time, and trick yourself into punctual(准时的) habits, with these tips.

Never explain why you're late. If you don't allow yourself to make excuses, you'll stop letting yourself off the hook. And you'll realize how often you've been handing out reasons as if everyone didn't already know them. There's a classic headline, "Woman Constantly Treating Herself for Once." Don't be "Person Constantly Delayed for This One Good Reason." 1. That's the decent thing to do.

2. If you're paid hourly, find out how much less you make when you clock in late. If you take more expensive modes of transportation, calculate the cost difference. See how much you spend each year on lateness.

Imagine being late to meet someone. 3. Think about the worst-case reaction they could have, whether that's frustration or a "not mad just disappointed" that makes you feel like a real dick. Now visualize being early. Think about the peace of mind as you wait for the other person. Think about standing from your seat and warmly greeting them, grandly forgiving their own lateness.

Think about your most chronically late friend or colleague. Gin up all the frustration you've ever felt with them, all the disdain. Wow, kind of harsh on your friend, but now think about other people feeling that way toward you. 4.

Plan exactly what you'll do on your phone while you wait for everyone else to show up. 5. Get excited, not for the thing you're heading to, but for those five minutes alone before it starts.

A. So, avoid being late.

B. Feel the shame and the panic.

C. Promise not to be late frequently.

D. Calculate the expense of your lateness.

E. You will never be forgiven if you are often late.

F. Instead of focusing on causes, apologize for the effect of your lateness.

G. That’s the free time, like playing a mobile game with zero guilt.

    Most squirrels don’t hibernate(冬眠). Instead, they store food for the cold season and spend the winter in their nests. But the 13-lined ground squirrel, one species of squirrel in the U.S. Midwest, is not the case. For up to 8 months, the tiny mammals won’t eat or drink anything at all and the heart rate, metabolism(新陈代谢), and body temperature dramatically drop during their long rest, which is similar to bears and other hibernating animals.

To find out how the hibernating squirrels hold back their thirst, a powerful force that could potentially wake them up, and researchers measured the blood fluid of dozens of squirrels. Generally, a high blood concentration(血液浓度) makes animals, including humans, feel thirty. The sleeping squirrels' blood concentration was low, preventing them from waking up for a drink. Even when researchers woke up the torpid squirrels, they wouldn’t drink a drop until the team artificially increased the concentration of their blood serum.

Next, the researchers wanted to know how the squirrels’ blood concentration dropped so low. Perhaps the squirrels drank a lot of water before hibernation to dilute(稀释) their blood, the researchers thought. But when they filmed squirrels preparing for their winter snooze, they found the animals actually drank less water than they normally did.

Instead, chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and other chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body (possibly in the bladder), the researchers reported last month in Current Biology. The finding could also explain how other hibernating animals stay containing water.

This new knowledge might one day help humans with conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病), or astronauts who have launched on long space flights. Unfortunately, even if people can figure out how to drop their blood concentration, it’s unlikely they’ll ever be as cute as sleeping squirrels.

1.What do we know about the 13-lined ground squirrels?

A.They don’t hibernate like many other squirrels.

B.They are endangered species in the U. S. Midwest.

C.They can live for months without water during hibernation.

D.Their heart rule and body temperature are extremely abnormal.

A.high blood concentration B.low blood concentration

C.low body temperature D.high heart rate

3.Hibernating squirrels adjust their blood concentrations by_____________.

A.Drinking much water before hibernation

B.Not eating anything during hibernation

C.Drinking less water than they normally do

D.Removing certain chemicals and storing them somewhere

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the new findings?

A.Objective B.Positive

C.Disappointing D.Uncaring
