I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after meals. I also water the flowers in the yard and tidying up my own bedroom whatever necessary. In my opinion, students can benefit a lot doing somehousework.Firstly,doing housework was helpful for us tobe a responsible person. Also, it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and it improves the family relationship.What's most,doing housework can be a form of mentally relaxation from study. That's our view on housework. And hopes this can inspire more thinking on the topic!

Ecotourism is commonly regarded as low impact ( 影响)travel to undisturbed places .It is different from traditional tourism because it allows the traveler to become 4 1 (educate )about the areas -both in terms of geographical conditions and cultural characteristics, and often provides money for conservation and benefits the 4 2 (develop)of the local areas.

Ecotourism has 4 3 (it) origin with the environmental movement of the 1970s. It was not widely accepted as a travel concept 4 4 the late 1980s. During that time,increasing environmental awareness made it desirable.

Due to 4 5 growing popularity of environmentally-related and adventure travel,various types 4 6 trips are now being classified as ecotourism. Actually, a true eco-friendlytrip must meet thefollowing principles:

Minimize the impact of 4 7 (visit) the place.

 Build respect for and awareness of the environment and cultural practices.

 Provide 4 8 (finance)aid and other benefits for local peoples.

 Make sure that the tourism provides positive experiences for both the visitors and the hosts.

Komodo National Park,officially recognized in 1980,is popular for ecotourism because of its unique biodiversity. 4 9 (activity)there range from whale watching to

hiking ( 远足 )and accommodations aim 5 0 (have )a low impact on the natural environment.

Simplysayingthankyoudoesn'tseem enough in certain situations.I was considering this while working as a 21 Just a few weeks ago.And it came to me then how

much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 22 ofgratitude (感谢).

My thoughts were soon 23 .Wehad a woman patient who was 24 froma knee replacement operation. One afternoon,while 25 to get into bed she collapsed(倒下) from what was 26 discoveredto be a heart attack.The collapse was disastrous, 27 the emergency medical team and good teamwork. But she recovered,though 28 ,and was ready for discharge (出院)after four weeks.

She was 29 for everything that the medical and nursing team had done for her.On her day of discharge,we shared in her 30 at her recovery.As she was

31 she was eager to say 32 to each of us in the nursing team.When she 33 one nurse, she tried to press a five-pound note into her hand. My colleague 34 to accept it, saying that we were all just 35 our job. The patient looked puzzled, and then 36 : "Oh this isn't for the 37_ I had. Itake that as a 38_ .No,this is for setting my hair yesterday.''

And there you have it. To many people, 39 lives is part of the job but styling hair is an 40_ and should be rewarded.

According to Jessica Hagy,author of How to Be Interesting,it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.

16 ，if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.

People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with aquestion other than "What do you do for a living?", you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. 17 . it can bring in "I have this old, broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.

1 8 ? Ifyoucan'ttaketheirwineaway , youshould certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 19 .

And what about that other dinner-party killer :awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking againistogivethehostacompliment (赞扬). 20 .Just quickly turn around and say,"This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it."

So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.

A.How do you know the host

B.The first step is to go exploring

C.If you ask the question" How did you get here?"

D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers

E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say

F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking

G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

During an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think aboutoften.Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said,"That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street-so I can focus. "His comment struckme as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an openofficelayout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.

The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking .They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group-those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.

But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise-not too loud and not total silence-may actually improve one's creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus.This kind of"distracted focus"appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.

So why do so many of us hate our open offices?The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselvesfrom getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

12.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?

A．	It helps him concentrate.
B．	It blocks out background noise.
C．	It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D．	It encourages face-to-face interactions.

13.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?

A．	Total silence.
B．	50 decibels.
C．	70 decibels.
D．	85 decibels.

14.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?

A．	Personal privacy unprotected.
B．	Limited working space.
C．	Restrictions on group discussion.
D．	Constant interruptions.

15.What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．	He's a news reporter.	B．	He's an office manager.
C．	He's a professional designer.	D．	He's a published writer.

You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans-between4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, foreing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.

At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called"Strawpocalypse,"a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, " Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic ,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

8.What are Von Wong's artworks in tended for?

A．	Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．	Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．	Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．	Reducing garbage on the beach.

9.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

A．	To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．	To explain why they are useful.
C．	To voice his views on modern art.
D．	To find a substitute for them.

10.What effect would "Truckload of Plastic"have on viewers?

A．	Calming.
B．	Disturbing
C．	Refreshing
D．	Challenging.

11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．	Artists'Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．	MediaInterest in Contemporary Art
C．	Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．	Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)?

These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn'town a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.

Still,55percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%） rely only on their smartphones ,according to a survey（调查）.Of thoseAustralianswhostillhave a landline,a third concedethat it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket - 19 percent say they never use it while afurther 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.

More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone .Age is naturally a factor （因素）-only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same homenumber for 50years.Age isn't the only factor;I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone （using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.

How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?

4.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?

A．	Their target users.
B．	Their wide popularity.
C．	Their major functions.
D．	Their complex design.

5.What does the underlined word "concede"in paragraph 3 mean?

A．	Admit.
B．	Argue.
C．	Remember.
D．	Remark.

6.What can we say about Baby Boomers?

A．	They like smartphone games.
B．	Theyenjoyguessingcallers'identity.
C．	They keep using landline phones.
D．	They are attached to their family.

7.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?

A．	It remains a family necessity.
B．	It will fall out of use someday.
C．	It may increase daily expenses.
D．	It is as important as the gas light.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World

People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D. , the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.

These days,safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfo rt able sea t -tend to k eep stad ium cap acitie s（容量 ） slight ly lo w e r. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble? Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they're of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own. Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion, where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.

The Xi'an City Wall is the most complete city wall that has survived China's long history. It 41 (build) originally to protect the city 42 the Tang dynasty and has now been completely restored (修复). It is possible 43 (walk) or bike the entire 14 kilometers.

We accessed the wall through the South Gate. The wall is 12 meters high and from here you can see streams of people moving inside and outside the City Wall.

After 44 (spend) some time looking at all the defensive equipment at the wall, we decided it was time for some action and what 45 (good) than to ride on a piece of history!

We 46 (hire) our bikes from the rental place at the South Gate. My bike was old and shaky 47 did the job. It took us about 3 hours to go all 48 way around the Xi'an City Wall. Supposedly you can do it in two hours, but we stopped at the different gates and 49 (watchtower) to fake pictures or just to watch the local people going about their 50 (day) routines.

It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.

Burchill was 21 at the hotel on business and planning to 22 some friends in the area. They had asked him to 23 some pepperoni (辣香肠) from back east. So he 24 a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was 25 that it would be too warm, he 26 it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was 27 and well chilled (冷却) and he 28 .

That's when things went 29 ."I remember walking down the long 30 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of 31 to the 4-star hotel. "The seagulls immediately went 32 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 33 at the same time, and pepperoni-everywhere. The curtains were falling down, the lamps were falling down, It was a real 34 .

Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).

"I have 35 and I admit responsibility of my 36 ," he said in the letter. "I come to you, 37 , to apologize for the-damage I had 38 caused and to ask you to 39 my lifetime ban from the hotel."

His letter 40 . Banned from the hotel since 2001.Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.

Swap, Don't shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.

●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them-things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go," or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!

A．	Less people than that
B．	Hold a clothing swap
C．	If two people are competing
D．	Just keep music playing throughout
E．	Donate whatever clothes are left over
F．	Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．	Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
