Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain.It begins with guitar music and clapping（击掌）and then dancers join the performance.Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man.The woman always wears a long，colorful dress.She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps.The man often wears black.Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine.They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing!Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down.They often jump over swords（剑）.The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities，for example，sword fighting and getting on and off horses.
Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean.Young people have to dance under a pole（杆）.The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it!After a successful "limbo"，they put the pole lower and do it again.Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!
Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali.Each village makes different masks.They are often huge and colorful.There are masks of people，monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys.Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village.Today，Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.

Artificial intelligence （AI） （人工智能） is growing rapidly． We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI． AI is a group of technologies that help machines get， understand and use information to do tasks．
AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention． Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible． For example， AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering． But this attention has also produced a lot of fear． Especially， many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs．
According to a recent study， nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI． In some industries， AI is already doing the work that people used to do， such as assembling （装配） cars， digging the coal and lifting goods． Self﹣driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future．
On the other hand， AI will also create many new jobs for people． More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems （系统） and they will set up and work on them， too． Meanwhile， jobs that require feelings， excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced （取代） by AI． These includes jobs in fields like teaching， nursing and personal training．
AI is here． It is changing how people live and work in many ways． That makes AI important to watch， not to fear．

Everybody has a brain，but not many people know how the brain works.Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer.We use it to store files 一 pictures，language （words，texts，sounds） and so on.Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it.We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk，and it isn't a cupboard.Look at the picture here.It looks a hit like weeds（杂草）in a garden，doesn't it？The picture actually shows a child's neocortex— a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing.You can guess what happens 一 more "weeds" grow as the child gets older.Scientists call these neuronal（神经元的）networks.The networks grow around our neurons.What makes them grow？"Learning!Learning is brain change， "says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland，Ohio，USA. "Without learning，nothing changes in the brain.For every new word you learn in your English lesson，every problem you solve in maths，every new song you learn to sing，a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes."
The more neuronal networks we grow，the better we can think and the better we remember.You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better.Professor Zull says yes，there is.He says that brain change is strongest when a） you are interested in and like what you are learning，b） you are in control of what you learn and c） you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain.
（1）What's the main idea of the first paragraph？
A.The brain — a fantastic computer.
B.What people believe about the brain.
C.How to make your brain stronger.
D.Our brain 一 a growing system.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Learning makes our neuronal networks grow.
B.Seeing a challenging task develops our brain.
C We remember better when things are easy.
D.There's nothing we can do to make us smarter.
（3）What's the best title for the passage？
A.Interest is the best teacher.
B.Meeting life's challenges.
C.Never too late to learn.
D.Learning is brain change.
In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．They're not really bad guests，but because the guest﹣host relationship（关系） in China is much different than in some western countries．It seems that they are not nice guests．And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests．
In China，guests are almost like gods（上帝）．Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west，generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to（根据） the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest．
My wife's mother，a very kind elderly Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually I want to stop them directly（直接地），but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that．In most North America homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you could ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't besurprised if the hosts say，"No，you can't smoke．"In our culture，if you smoke in their home，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not a rude host．
Guests in China also have special habits．Some western people may not adapt tothese habits very soon．Thankfully my wife is Chinese，so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift．However，giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country．So，if you invite international guests to your home，don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift．
In China，you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host，and Chinese are naturally very good hosts．If western hosts invite you to their house，try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected．

Have you ever wondered how a book is made？It takes a lot of people to make a book.It can take months，or even years，for a book to go from an idea to a finished product.
A book begins when an author comes up with an idea for a book.Authors get ideas in different ways.They may get ideas from their own lives，from watching the world around them，or from reading.
Next，an author may plan the book by making an outline （提纲）.Sometimes authors do research to gather information.They may read books or articles.They may interview people or visit places.
Then，the author begins to write.Authors may write for months or years to finish a manuscript.A manuscript is the text an author produces for publication.
Finally，the author sends the completed manuscript to a publisher.If the publisher decides to publish the book，the author works with an editor.An editor reads the manuscript.Then he or she recommends changes to improve the book.A copy editor reads the manuscript to correct any grammatical mistake.
After an author makes the suggested changes，a designer may decide how the book will look.The designer may choose the size，shape，and type styles for the book.Some picture book authors create their own illustrations（插图）.If not，an illustrator is chosen to create pictures for the book.
The illustrator makes sketches of pictures that will go on each page.The sketches are sent to the publishing company.The editor makes sure the pictures clearly tell the story.The designer checks how the words and pictures will fit together on the pages.
After the design changes are made，the illustrator begins creating the final pictures.He or she may change the colours，the perspective，or the composition of pictures.It may take months to create all the pictures.
The finished art is then sent to the publisher.The designer adjusts（调整） how the pictures and words fit together on the pages.The completed pages are sent to the printer.Many books are still made into books with paper pages.
The printer uses huge printing presses to make the pages.The pages are fixed together.The book cover is added.The finished books are then sent to the publisher's warehouse.They are stored there until they are bought by libraries and bookstores.
E﹣readers have changed how some books are made.Some authors do not use a publisher at all.Instead of sending a manuscript to a publisher，some authors turn their manuscripts into e﹣Books themselves.Finally，an author's eBook is uploaded（上传） to virtual bookstores on the Internet.Customers can buy and download e﹣Books from these websites.

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day，but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon （马拉松）in Baiyin，Gansu Province，in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49﹣year﹣old shepherd ，who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside.But soon the weather was terrible，with rainfall and hail.The rain got so heavy that he couldn't see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest.Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．
So next time，when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them．
42．Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network？
A．Because it can provide useful information．

The Youth Climate Summit（气候峰会） a week﹣long festival of climate action for primary and middle schools in the UK，starts on 9 November.It aims to create a fairer，more environmental world and make promises that will help the planet.Climate change is the long﹣term changes in the world's weather patterns that are mostly caused by human activity. "Unlike world leaders， "say the summit's organizers. "young people are refusing to let it drop off the plan. "
Each day has a topic，which includes food and fashion，looking at how humans harm the environment and how to save the planet.Organizations are leading some on line activities.For example，the Marine Conservation Society is hosting meetings on protecting sea fish.Separately，the environmental organization Greenpeace is running a workshop on how to turn worn﹣out clothing into something new and wearable.
The summit will finish on 13 November，when youth ambassadors（大使）wants schools to stop paper waste.Max，another 16﹣year﹣old ambassador wants schools to organize more trips and activities that get students outside to experience the beauty of nature.As part of the summit，hundreds of schools across the country are signing up to the Let's Go Zero activity，aiming to become carbon﹣zero（零碳的）by 2030.
Carbon﹣zero schools are ones that promise to stop emitting carbon in seven areas，including where they get their food and how they use water and recycle their waste.The activity is run by Ashden，a charity working towards climate solutions.Ashden hopes that schools will be able to help each other by sharing ideas and methods.It is also calling on the Government to back the promise.Head over to transform﹣our﹣world.org where you can find out more.

The first emperor of China，Qin Shihuang，completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.，he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）.These，he hoped，would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown，but they weren't always.They began as an army of red，blue，yellow，green，white，and purple.Sadly，most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging，the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg，taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features，including black hair，pink faces，and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece，archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt，so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece， "says Rong Bo，the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge，says Rong Bo，is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens，artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full，bright colors.

B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.
C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.
D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
According to the finding of a new UN report，the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year.That's about 1，030，000，000 tons，or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking.Food services，such as restaurants，produce 26% and groceries （食品杂货店）and other stores 13% "We thought waste was a problem in rich countries，" says Martina Otto，who works for the UN Environment Program.
"However，the new report finds，food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor."
Each year，some 690，000，000 people go hungry.At the same time，about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste.Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution.It is helpful to both people and the planet.By avoiding wasting food，we can save money and time.More importantly，we can help protect the Earth's most valuable resources （资源）.
Then what can we do to stop food waste？Small actions make a difference.Each of us can play a part.Next time，before you throw，think twice!

"That's what the vet said，too.We haven't been letting her exercise as much，and we've been feeding her a lot.She would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked her more. ② We have to start walking her more often.And then she'll stay healthy for a long time.Will you help？"
"Sure!" said Sam.He decided that he could play fetch with her every day in the yard，because then she could run and run and run until she was tired.
The first day，they only played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired.But Sam kept playing with her every day.Soon，they could play for an entire half an hour!Hally looked stronger every day，just like her mom.Sam felt great about helping Hally get strong again.
