Dear Wu Fei,
I am a student from England. My name is Kate and I’m twelve years old. My parents are teachers and they work in the same school. I have a brother, Kevin, and a sister, Kitty. We like different food. I like vegetables and Kitty likes chicken. Kevin doesn’t like vegetables at all. His favorite food is hamburgers. But we all like to eat healthy(健康的) food.

Jiaozi， also known as Chinese dumplings， is a must﹣have during holidays in Northern China．It dates back to ancient times．
Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year．Since jiaozi is in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots（银锭）， it symbolizes wealth （象征着财富）． Traditionally， the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year's Eve．They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings．The person who finds the coin will be likely to have good luck． As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year，people choose to eat jiaozi in the hope of having a good future in the coming new year．
Based on your taste， you can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different fillings．There is no set rule as to what makes dumpling fillings． They can be anything from vegetables，meat or seafood． Whatever the fillings are， the wrapping （包） skill needs to be exquisite （精美的） to make jiaozi good﹣looking．
As China is a country with a vast territory（幅员辽阔），there are differences in different areas in ways of making jiaozi or even serving it． For example， dumpling wrappers are made with a rolling stick in Beijing and Hebei province， while in some parts of Inner Mongolia， wrappers are hand﹣pressed．
（1）When did Chinese people probably begin to have jiaozi？
（2）What does jiaozi symbolize？
（3）Why do people choose to cat jiaozi on New Year's Eve？
（4）Do people need to follow set rules to make dumpling fillings？
（5）How are dumpling wrappers made in some parts of Inner Mongolia？
Mark Twain once said，"Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today．" The famous writer talked about a problem many of us have． The problem is procrastination （拖延症）． When procrastination becomes a habit， it can make our lives terrible． However， everyone can avoid it by taking a few simple steps today!
✧Make daily "to do" lists．
Before your day ends， make a plan for tomorrow．List upcoming tasks in order of importance．You'll begin each new day with a head start， already knowing what needs to be done．As you complete each task， check it off．（1） ．
Always keep your daily schedule（计划）with you． Use it to remind yourself what you need to do next． You'll then have a much better chance of carrying out your plans．
✧Break large tasks up into small ones．
If a project looks too big，（2） ．The task at hand may seem too great．You may feel defeated （挫败） before beginning． But every project is doable if it's done in small steps．
Begin by breaking up your task into smaller parts． This helps remove the unnecessary fear of having to do a large project all at one time．
✧（3） ．
If your workplace is full of distractions（使人分心的事），you'll need to make some changes．You may need to remove your phone or TV from your workplace．If people often stop by for a talk， you may need to move to a different place．
✧Follow the five﹣minute rule．
The hardest part about any task is getting started． That's why so many people avoid their work until the last minute． Doing so usually leads to added stress． One solution to this problem is to schedule a time daily to work on your big project． Work on it for only five minutes． Then decide whether or not to continue． Surprisingly， once you've begun， （4） ．
A． you will certainly succeed at once B． Change your working environment C． This will give you a sense of success D． it can discourage you from getting started E． you may be able to keep going and finish the task |
Have you ever seen a solar panel （太阳能电池板）in your neighborhood？ Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity．Over the past ten years， the price of solar panels has gone down greatly．In many parts of the world，solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity． More and more people have started using solar energy to power （给……供电）their homes．
However， solar panels also have their problems．They stop working at night and on rainy days． Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time？
Scientists at Suzhou University， China， have invented a new solar panel now． It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain． When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls （滚动） down， it creates friction （摩擦力） on the surface of the panel， which can then be turned into electricity．
Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors．"Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day，" he says．"It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain．"
The solar panel， however， does not make much electricity from falling rain．So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it． The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible， which are as soft as clothing．
The field of solar energy is developing fast． Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels． Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together． Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels （ 液体和气体燃料）．
（1）Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world？
A． Solar energy．
B． Water energy．
C． Wind energy．
（2）What is one of the problems of common solar panels？
A． The price of them is rising．
B． They can't work all of the time．
C． They can hardly power people's homes．
（3）Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful？
A． It has a larger size than a common one．
B． It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy．
C． It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions．
（4）What does the underlined word "flexible" mean in Paragraph 5？
A．柔软的
B．光滑的
C．坚硬的
（5）We can infer （推断） from this text that ．
A． there is no room for developing solar energy
B． there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy
C． solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy
