A TV program"National Treasure"has become a huge hit since last December． It is another cultural TV program on CCTV that has ever had wonderful successes in China，after the"Chinese Character Dictation Competition"in 2013，the"Chinese Idiom Competition"in 2014，the"Chinese Riddle Competition"in 2016，and the"Chinese Poetry Competition"in 2017．
The TV program has ten episodes（集）． Across them，a total of 27 national treasures from nine major Chinese museums were presented．The program brings these relics （古物）to life and displays their unique beauty through different artistic methods． The opening episode showed three of China's finest cultural treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing．Famous actors Li Chen，Wang Kai and Tony Leung played the"national treasure guardians"of each item．They told not only the mysteries behind the treasures but also their own stories about them．
Li Chen plays Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty，and tells the history of a precious painting"A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains"by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty．
Wang Kai，acting as Emperor Qianlong（1711﹣1799）of the Qing Dynasty（1644﹣1911），presented the historical background of"Large Vase with Variegated Glazes"．The vase has 17 kinds of glaze（釉）and 12 paintings，and had to be re﹣fired several times in its production．During the rule of Qianlong，China's porcelain（制瓷的）techniques were the finest in the world．
Hong Kong actor Tony Leung is the national treasure guardian of the 23﹣hundred﹣year﹣old stone drum and plays Sima Guang（1019﹣1086）from the Northern Song Dynasty．Sima Guang and his father Sima Chi worked hard to find the real stone drums and protected them in the past．
"As a culture show，‘National Treasure'aims to bring history to life．We want our viewers to feel that the cultural relics are like people and that they have their own personalities and lives，"said Yu Lei，producer of the program，"people's interest in culture as well as the tradition and workmanship of the Chinese nation has become a trend（潮流）．This has encouraged us to better promote（弘扬）our fine culture．We hope through the program，more and more people will go into museums to enjoy the beauty of relics．"

One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone． "I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle， " the king said． Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses．" He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard "Make this line shorter without crasing（清除） any part of it，" the king challenged．
People came from far and wide． They looked at the line and squinted at it． They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads．
"How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it？" the people in the crowd asked each other． Some of them tried． The dressmaker kicked dirt（泥土）over the line to hide it． The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear． None of these efforts worked， and the people went home disappointed． Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle．
A week passed， and nobody had any new ideas． Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour（面粉）．
"Your Majesty， "the baker said to the king，" I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it． "Then the baker opened his bag of flour． He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line． The line the baker made was longer than the king's line．
"Now， good king， "the baker smiled， "your line is shorter．"

Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form． Having a history of about 200 years， it is developed from absorbing（吸收）many other dramatic forms， mostly from the local drama 'Huiban'， which was popular in South China during the 18th century． It is a scenic（戏剧的）art integrating music， performance， literature， aria， and face painting．
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing， dancing and spoken parts in one single drama． An opera singer， for example， neither dances nor speaks on stage； there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play； in a dance drama， the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either． Traditional Chinese drama， including Beijing Opera， is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts， singing， dancing and acrobatics．
In addition to its presence in China， Beijing Opera has spread to many other places． Mei Lanfang， one of the most famous performers（表演者）of all time， was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries．
"You will be puzzled（困惑）all the way through and a little bored from time to time； but you will be charmed and interested． You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background． "This is how one American traveller described his firs experience in watching Beijing Opera．

Bats are the only mammals that can fly a great distance， but they have another ability． Many bats live a very long time for an animal their size．
European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long． They hope to make discoveries to fight the aging process （过程） in human beings．
Last week， the group of scientists said they had found important biological qualities in some bat species． The group studied bat chromosomes （染 色 体）， a line of genes found in the nucleus（核） of cells． The scientists were most interested in parts connected to the ends of the chromosomes． They are called telomeres（端 粒）． Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes， which shorten each time a cell divides． Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down． ．
A report on bats was published this month in the journal Science Advances．
Among the leaders of the study was Emma Teeling， a biologist with University College Dublin in Ireland． Teeling said studying long﹣living mammals that have developed ways to fight aging "is another way to prove the molecular（分 子） basis of extended ‘health length．'" She added that studying bats made scientists able to learn more about the processes "that drive healthy aging．"
The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species． The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years． Of these animals， the greater mouse﹣eared bat generally lived the longest， an average of 37 years．
The scientists said this and a related species， which are grouped together under the name Myotis， had telomeres that did not shorten with age． Another Myotis bat holds the record for oldest age， reaching 41 years．
The scientists' findings suggest that these bats' cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres． This， they said， helps guard against the aging process． Based on its body size， a bat like the greater mouse﹣eared bat would be expected to live four years． But， these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that．
The scientists found that Eighteen of these are bats． The only exception is an unusual African rodent， the naked mole rat．
（1）Which sentence can be put at the end of Paragraph 3？
A．This makes scientists able to study bats．
B．That's why bats can fly a great distance．
C．They say this is what causes aging．
D．They discover the cells connected to humans．
（2）Why do some species of bats live a very long time？
A．Because they have a line of long﹣living genes out of the cells．
B．Because their cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres．
C．Because they have another ability to live longer without any food or water．
D．Because telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes to stop cells dividing．
（3）The underlined word "that" refers to ．
A．four years
B．body size
C．the aging process
D．the ability to repair
（4）What's the best title of the passage？
A．Differences Between Long﹣Living Animals
B．A Science Report on Chromosomes
C．Do Bats Hold the Secret to Long Life？
D．Are Humans and Bats Similar in Protecting Themselves？
Fresh off his MasterChef Junior run， Evan Robinson， who is only 12 years old， is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico． The TV show contestant wanted to offer help after hurricanes（飓风） hit the country last September．
"I've been seeing， all over the news， people struggling，" Evan said． "They can't get fresh water， electricity； they can't get really anything． I know I'm just a kid， but I think if a lot of people do something， a lot of things will get better．"
He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade empanadas（馅 饼）． He started cooking on a recent Friday night． By the next Sunday evening， he had filled orders for 420 empanadas ﹣ ﹣ roasted chicken， cheeseburger and vegetarian ﹣ ﹣ getting ￥18 for six empanadas and ￥30 for a dozen．
His mom， Veronica Robinson， helped him send the empanadas around the city． "We've never done anything like this before，" she said． "But it's a great idea， so I want to help him make it work．"
For Evan's out﹣of﹣town friends and supporters， he has set up a crowdfunding（众筹） page． Through it， he's hoping to raise ￥1， 500 in "virtual （虚 拟 的） empanadas"． This is because he heard on the news that it could take Puerto Rico years， maybe even 10 years， to recover（复 原） from the hurricanes． And he said， "Fruit pies are up next． And my baking will continue as well．"
It's a difficult job， especially for a kid with homework and Boy Scouts and friendships to tend to． But he doesn't seem worried．
"It's what we're supposed to do，" he said． "I'm a human． They're humans． Why shouldn't I help them？"

I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave． I found a big tree and chopped it down． This took three days． Then， I chopped off the branches． This took another two days． After that， I chopped the wood away from one side， and then from the other side． This took more than one month． Altogether it took forty﹣two days． In England， two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day．
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops． I had to protect them from wild animals and birds， so I made a fence around them． I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn． After that， all the other birds stayed away． I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready． I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops． A few years later， I would have enough corn to make bread． I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour， but the rocks on the island were not hard enough． I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do． I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks． Not having an oven， I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes． This baked the dough， and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to．
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island． I went to the ship's boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck． However， I could not get it to the water． It was too heavy． I tried many different ways of doing it， but none of them were successful．

Once upon a time， a young man wanted to go to a village on business．Halfway there was a mountain． Before he left home， his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts（野兽）． In this way， the beasts couldn't do anything to him．
The young man remembered these words and began his trip．
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there． He thought his family's worries were unnecessary． And he became relaxed as he walked． Just at that moment， he saw a fierce（凶猛的） tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once．
The tiger roared（咆哮） around the tree and even jumped to reach the man． The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger． Full of fear． he had to hold the tiger tightly． The tiger thought that must be a giant beast， So it was afraid and started running madly．
People on the road didn′t know what happened and said，" Look at the young man， He is riding a tiger! "Cool!" "Superman!"
Hearing these words，the young man was very angry． "Why can′t they see I′m suffering a lot？ Don't they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death？" He said to himself．

D．Bored．
（4）The tiger was afraid because ．

We wake up very early to go to school， maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher， complete our extracurricular（课程以外的） activities， come home to have a quick dinner， talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep． But then we remember． We have to look at the American College Test（ACT） exercises one more time． Half asleep， we run downstairs to get the ACT book， and start studying． After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep． And then six hours later， we do it all over again．
In my health class， my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night． The sad truth is， with so much to do every day， high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule（安排）．
Let me ask you all a question： Doesn't it seem more humane（人道的） to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night？ This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep． Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night？ It leaves us very little time to relax， therefore reducing the time that we can sleep．
In my opinion， the present structure（结构） of the junior year of high school doesn't work well． Junior year of high school is a time for growth． By this time many students have the ability to think creatively， and solve challenging problems． Homework is important for a student's growth． But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it？ Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability． I do think it is time to change the structure， so that we sleep at home， and learn at school．
（1）In the first paragraph the writer gives ．
A． a picture of the present daily life of high school students
B． an example of an ideal daily life of high school students
C． a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school life
D． a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT
（2）From the last paragraph we know that the writer thinks ．
A． Junior year of high school is the most important growth period
B． challenging problems are needed for a teenager's growth
C． the ability to think has nothing to do with homework
D． the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class
（3）Why does the writer write this article？
A． To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers' growth．
B． To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT．
C． To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep．
D． To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework．

Dogs are very sociable（合群的） animals．When owners go out and leave their dogs alone，the dogs get worried and upset．Dogs should be trained to be their own while still young instead of when they are older and set in their ways．When owners are not around，they should provide some toys for their dogs to play with．Leaving the radio or television turned on might also provide relaxing background noise．
Howling（嚎叫） is a form of communication．Dogs do it to tell one another where they are．Some dogs howl when they are lonely，while others do it when greeting strangers whom they are seeing for the first time．Some even howl to music and do this because it is fun．
When it comes to training dogs，giving rewards（奖赏） is a far better way than using punishment．Food makes an excellent reward，and if they do not respond（反应） to this，owners should try touching．Dogs like being touched by owners very much．Words of praise work well too，but not as well as food or touch．It helps if owners spend more time with their dogs．
