Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen． The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar， salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．
Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor， texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分） although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated．
（1）The material doesn't change when we ．
A． melt ice cream
B． burn paper
C． bake apple pies
D． cook beef
（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？
a． Carrots， oil and eggs are added．
b． The dry ingredients are mixed．
c． The mixture is baked in an oven．
d． Baking powder and soda make the cake rise．
e． Preparing some dry ingredients．
f． The heat from the oven causes chemical changes．
g． The ingredients cannot be separated．
h． The mixture is poured into a pan
A． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣g
B． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣f
C． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣g
D． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d
（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．
A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components
C． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time
（4）The passage mainly helps us to ．
A． look at the steps of baking cakes closely
B． learn how to make carrot cakes at home
C． have a healthy diet with natural chemicals
D． understand physical and chemical changes
American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English．
（1） Often， Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddya say？" instead of "What did you say？" However， the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．（2） Americans drive trucks， but in England people drive lorries．
（3） In England， if you are going to telephone your friends， you "phone them up"．In America， you "give them a call"．
There are also some differences in grammar．For example， Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．（4）
Most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．（5） Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．
A． English is widely used in China．
B． It can also happen to other languages， such as French．
C． For example， the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．
D． They say "Have you a storybook？"
E． English in these two counties is different only in sound．
F． First of all， they sound very different．
G． Many expressions are also different in the two countries．
With schools closed and restrictions（限制） on public activities it can be as time with their friends difficult time for young people who suddenly can't spend and family in person．
However ，the situation has already to some creative ways of using technology to keep in touch with those people， from video calls and group chats（聊天） to online games． Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful， which is why technology can be helpful，
"Keeping relationships is very important for health，" says Dr Amanda Gummer． creator of Dr Gumer's Good Pliy Cuide．She adds that this is more important the older you get． "Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school when the time comes，" she says．Chezzy Kennedy， from a raining program called Confident Kids， agrees． "Staying connected to those we care about is even more important now than ever before，" she says．"We can suddenly feel quite lonely．"
Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends， or organizing group chats to keep in touch．"Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider friendship group，" says Gummer． Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends．Gummer suggests，"A virtual（虚拟的） film and pizza night can work well． "
Sharna Jackson， an expert on young people and technology， has lots of ideas too．She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at﹣such as painting and drawing， perhaps． She also thinks that online games， including Fortnite and Minecraft， can play a really good role．
"It's good to play together． It's social， there's problem solving and turn． taking， and it helps you develop different skills，" she says．

When Justin Tong was a child， other kids felt sorry for him． His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers． But when he grew up， he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life．
These are the finding of a 40﹣year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London． It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future． "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力） and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，" said Daniel Brown， the psychologist（心理学家） who made the discovery． "And because they felt good about themselves， others felt good about them．"
Brown's study followed these children in great detail． Interviews were repeated at ages 25， 31 and 47． Under Brown， the researchers compared the children's mental﹣health scores with their childhood﹣activity scores． Points were awarded for part﹣time jobs， housework， effort in school， and ability to deal with problems．
Working at any age is important． Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility， independence， confidence and competence ﹣ the underpinnings （基础） of emotional health． They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals． The most competent adults are those who know how to do this．Yet work isn't everything． As Tolstoy once said， "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love， to work for the person one loves and to love one's work．"
（1）What do we know about Justin Tong？
A．He enjoyed a happy life．
B．He felt sorry for the other kids．
C．He always sold newspapers．
D．He seldom collected rubbish．
（2）Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2？

B．Children who work in the home or community．
C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study．
D．Children who feel good about people around them．
（3）How did Brown follow the children in his study？
A．By giving housework and praise．
B．By interviewing and giving scores．

C．To tell us about childhood activities．
D．To encourage children to work hard．
On a June afternoon in 1752， the sky began to get dark over the city． As the storm broke， most people surely hurried inside， but not Benjamin． Franklin． He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite． Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this． He wanted to show the connection between lightning（闪电） and electricity，and to do so， he needed a storm．
He walked into field， and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it． A key was tied to the rope． The lightning hit the kite， and electricity passed through the rope to the key． Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock（电击）． This， he said， proved（证明） the electrical nature of lightning．
For many years， schools have taught the story of Franklin's experiment． Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth． However， new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact． Although Franklin's experiment took place， more than one scientist has questioned what really happened．It's true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key． But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key， he would certainly have died from the electric shock．
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts． Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head． Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas，there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head，
In fact， fiction is often more interesting than the truth．People have been more encouraged by Franklin's spirit than by the facts themselves． But in science， facts should be tested by experiments and research， and we should not always believe everything we read or hear even if it is a great story．
（1）Franklin did the experiment in order to prove ．
A． he was an excellent scientist
B． flying a kite in the storm was safe
C． he was not afraid of lightning
D． lightning was a form of electricity
（2）The underlined word "fiction" probably means something ．
A． not true
B． quite different
C． not safe
D． quite necessary
（3）Some scientists questioned whether Franklin in the experiment．
A． flew a kite
B． touched the key
C． was present
D． discovered electricity
（4）The purpose of the passage is to tell us ．
A． Franklin's spirit is encouraging
B． fiction is more interesting than the truth
C． Franklin's experiment is not real
D． we shouldn't always believe accepted ideas
It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.
（1）The second paragraph mainly talks about .
| A． |
why The Kid was made |
| B． |
when The Kid was on |

how The Kid got successful |
| D． |
what The Kid is about |
（2）We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan .
| A． |
always visited the theatre alone |
| B． |
was possibly talented in acting |
| C． |
knew much about Chaplin before |
| D． |
played every role in Chaplin's films |
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin？
| A． |
He had a poor childhood experience. |
| B． |
He was brought up by his father. |
| C． |
He looked after his mother very well. |
| D． |
He produced films with his brother. |
（4）What's the best title for the passage？

A film about a dancer. |

A family in London. |

You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.
（1）Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to .
A.discuss two different study habits
B.compare the differences in their hobbies
C.show the importance of a good study habit
D.express the writer's worry about their friendship
（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A.and they have difficulty in study
B.and it can be true for most of them
C.but that doesn't seem necessarily true
D.but nobody does research on this question
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage？
A.Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
B.Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C.Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D.Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A.Are you studying the "right" way？
B.How can you improve your study habits？
C.Is it possible for friends to study well together？
D.What are the advantages of different study settings？
Think I Can：How to Push Yourself to Success
"Because I can"is magic.It pushes us past our comfort zones （舒适区域）.It gives us a reason to do the things that we think we can't.Here are a few ways to use this positive thinking in your own life.
Be More Active
Whether it is to go home or go to work，climb the stairs instead of taking the lift.Whether it is to go shopping or watch a film，ride a bike instead of driving a car.Break the"I'm tired" or "It is too hard" or "It is too far cycle.Increasing your activity level will be good for you.
Try Something New
It is easy for us to make excuses for why we shouldn't try something new.Maybe you think it is out of your comfort zone.Maybe it seems too difficult.Or maybe，it is just inconvenient （不方便的）.Remember that you can try something new.It will help you to move past something bad and discover something new about yourself and possible new interests.
Increase Your Willpower （意志力）
Saying"No" to our favorites can be challenging.However，developing strong willpower，whether it is in response （反应） to our favorite chocolate cake or to overshopping，is something that we can all benefit from.Next time you want to do something you might regret，you have the willpower to say"No".
Speak Up
Often，we meet something that troubles us or makes us unhappy.We have a voice "because I can" in our minds.Talking with your loved ones，such as your parents and friends about how you feel，what you need and what you are thinking about can help you get on well with them and form deeper relationships.

| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |
