There were three big fish in the lake.One of them,Demo,was wise;another one,Jimmy,was half﹣wise;Martin,the third one,was stupid.
Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets.The three fish saw them.
Demo decided at once to leave,to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean.He thought,"I won't discuss with these two about this.They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on.How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now.Their ignorance will cost them their lives."
Seeing the wise fish had left,Jimmy thought,"My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape."He felt sorry for it and then thought,"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets?Perhaps I should pretend (假装)to be already dead,giving myself totally to the water."So he did that.He went up and down with the water,helpless,within arm's reach of the fishermen.
"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead."One of the men lifted him by the tail,and threw him up on the ground.He rolled (滚动)over and over and moved secretly toward the water,and then,back in.
The third fish was aimlessly jumping about,trying to escape with his speed and cleverness.The net,of course,finally closed around him,and as he lay in the hot frying﹣pan bed,he thought,"If I get out of this,I'll never live again in the limits of the lake.Next time,the ocean!I'll make it my home."

Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything.Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands, However,when it comes to technology and health care,opportunities and challenges come together.
Let's start with the ways to get health care.Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.
In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team.Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future.But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno﹣health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole.A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) ,who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds﹣and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine.It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to ﹣and care about﹣their journey story, which will never be realized through a human﹣less technology.Technology should be a tool,but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
(1)According to the passage, how does technology help health care?
A. It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.
B. It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.
C. It improves relations between doctors and patients.
D. It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.
(2)The word "intuition" in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. an ability to understand
B. an interesting experience
C. a chance to win
D. a fair decision
(3)What do you know about techno﹣health care from the passage?
A. Patient websites require trust from doctors.
B. Talented companies can give medical advice.
C. Flagged results may cause worry for patients.
D. Medical equipment collects patients' stories.
(4)The writer probably agrees that .
A. technology can deal with unexpected effects.
B. telemedicine can take the place of usual health care.
C, it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age.
D. techno﹣health care should take humanity into consideration.
Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功能). This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain.Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中)were graded with computers.
"This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to green space and brain structure." Says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study. "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain."
The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.
Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly, green space is thought to promptimportant exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.
Dr. Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development. It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.
(1)The second paragraph is mainly about .
A. how the study was performed
B. what was recorded in the study
C. how long the study lasted
D. who took part in the study
(2)The word "prompt" in paragraph 6 probably means " ".
A. control
B. encourage
C. balance
D. change
(3)What can we learn from the passage?
A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.
B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.
C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain.
D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.
Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites."Oh,that game's easy.So not worth the time,"one of your friends says.The others agree.Although you enjoy the game quite a lot,not wanting to argue with them,you go along with the crowd.
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力),also called peer
influence.You will adopt a certain type of behavior,dress,or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your"peers".As a teen,you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age.For teens,as school and other activities take you away
from home,you may spend more time with your friends than with your family.As you become more
independent,your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
According to Dr.Casey from Cornell University,teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions
on their own and in situations where they have time to think.However,when they make decisions in the
heat of the momentor in social situations,their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers.In a
recent study,teen volunteers played a video driving game,either alone or with friends watching.The
researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were
watching,compared with when they played alone.This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around,or in situations where they are extremely angry.
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices,they can also influence us to make good ones.A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it,or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important.In fact,friends often encourage each other to study,or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us,the decision to act or not is up to us.So when it
comes to decision making,the choice is up to you.
52.According to the passage,Dr.Casey probably agrees that teens .
A.like to play driving games with their friends
B.prefer situations where they have time to think
C.may take more risks when their friends are around
D.are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
53.The words" in the heat of the moment"in Paragraph 4 probably mean" ".
A.when teens avoid possible risks
B.when teens trust their judgment
C.when teens lose control over their anger
D.when teens give consideration to situations
54.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Teens are eager to be different from their peers.
B.Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.
C.Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.
D.Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.
55.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Peer Pressure:Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B.Peer Pressure:Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C.Peer Pressure:Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making

In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as math, French and science. Although I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class.I wanted to find out who I was,what I liked and how I could do it better.So, that winter,I took a notebook and kept my diary. When I filled that notebook,I started another one, and then another.
Keeping a diary helps a lot. Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better. It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams, friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on. Personally, I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary.For example,when I am fighting with my dad, I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates.I'll write something like,"I might not have clear skin, but I like my eyes."
Right about now, you might be thinking: it sounds great, but I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible. Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules, so do whatever feels best.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalinationbusinesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process(加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing﹣an energetic form of dance that includes six﹣step and eight﹣step rhythms(节奏) ﹣ has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop ﹣ a style of dance that is best known for a break away or 'swing out' move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh﹣ the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)﹣which was titled, 'Lindy Hops the Atlantic'. Then the watcher announced that the 'Lindy Hop' was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的)backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world's most fun dances.

C. The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same.
D. The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history.
After coming to America, the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korean (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, "Haven't you had dinner yet?" and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say "Yes, I haven't." But in English, I have to say, "No, I haven't."
Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day ,I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. "Oh, you told me that. Don't you remember?" he said, "When I asked you ,'You are not from North Korea,are you?'you clearly answered, 'Yes, of course.' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea?"
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I did not mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, "Didn't my children make noise last night? Didn't it make you uncomfortable?" Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face, and he said, "I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later." I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, "OK. Bye!" After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.
Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five﹣second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no", Second, use "pardon me", so the person may explain to me in a direct way.
(1)From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from .
A. North Korea
B. America
C. South Korea
D. China
(2)In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered "Yes",Mark might think the writer was .

(4)If the writer is not sure of "yes" or "no" next time, he will say .
A. " pardon me"
B. "yes"
C. "no"
D. "I don't know"
(5)The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us .
A. to work hard on English

Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her "Little Picasso". This was a great honour, but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full﹣time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.

Just like a car engine needs petrol(汽油),your body needs fuel(燃料;养料).It needs food!
The things you eat and drink are turned into energy.
You need energy for everything﹣playing,walking,running,thinking﹣even sleeping.
Feeling hungry may mean you are running low on energy.If it is not mealtime,you may need a snack to re﹣fuel.
But what sort of snack should you eat?This is like choosing the right fuel for a car.Some cars,such as racing cars,need the best fuel to go fast and keep their engines running smoothly.
So,if you want to be at your most lively,choose the best fuel.This means eating healthy snacks.There is no better way to keep your engine running smoothly!
