Are you nervous？ Maybe you should sit in a blue room． Are you always cold？ Maybe you should sit in a room painted in a "warm colour" such as soft orange． Are you often sad？ Maybe you should sit in a yellow room． Some researchers believe that colour has the power to influence our feelings． They believe that colours affect（影响）everyone in the same way．
One study was in a workplace．The researchers painted heavy boxes white and light boxes black．They want to see how colour affected the workers' feelings．Which boxes do you think were more difficult to lift？ The heavy white ones？ No． The white boxes were heavier but they looked light．The researchers think that this is because light colours seem light．
Another study was at school． Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton， Canada， studied children with behaviour problems in their classroom．When the walls were brown and yellow，the children's heart rate went up and they were over﹣active．However，when the walls were dark blue，the children's heart rate was slower and the children were much calmer． If this is true， we can think carefully about the colours around them﹣﹣not just in our homes， but also in offices， in schools， in hospitals， in gyms， in museums， in restaurants and even in prisons．

My father was a cemetery（公墓）keeper．When I was a child，he often took me there．Before we left each time，he would lay some stones on some graves（坟墓）．I never asked why．I just thought that was his work．
Yesterday， I visited my sick father． He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones． For some reason， it had to be done that day． I agreed． I hadn't been there for a long time．
When I got there， I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on．As I went to lay it， I heard her whisper" Thank you"． It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day． The grave was that of a child， only five when he died fifteen years ago．
" He's my son， "she said． " But， where's your father？ He was always the one to leave the stone．"
I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this． It seemed important to him．"Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else． When my child died， I came often to see him． It is our custom to leave a stone． It tells the one who is here that he is thought of． But， then we moved away from here.. so many painful memories.. I was so afraid that he would be alone． But your father marked the grave every time he came． Each time I returned here， I saw that stone and it always comforted me． Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers． Just tell him you saw me today， won't you？" She said．
It took me a minute to find my voice． That small stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother．

Most children are taught the virtue （美德） of honesty from stories.The well﹣known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth.Every time Pinocchio lies，his nose grows longer and longer.Another story is about the boy who"cried wolf." In the end，he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times.These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still，if thisis the case，then why do so many people lie？The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to minimize （减少） a mistake.While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time，some people do not have the courage to admit their errors （错误） because they are afraid they will be blamed.For example，students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework.They might say that they left the work at home when，in fact，they did not do the work at all.These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible，so they make up an excuse﹣ a lie﹣ to save face.
Another reason for lying has to do with self﹣protection.Parents，particularly those with young children，may teach their children to use this type of"protective" lie in certain circumstances （状况）.What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out？Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time.In this situation，protective lying can mean greater safety.
People lie for many reasons，both good and bad.Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results.However，lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end.Understanding the motives behind the impulse （冲动） to lie might minimize this habit of lying.
（1）What does the underlined word"this" refer to in the passage？
| A． |
Honesty is the best policy. |
| B． |
The well﹣known story of Pinocchio. |
| C． |
The story of the boy who"cried wolf". |

Because they like making up an excuse. |
| B． |
Because they have left the homework at home. |
| C． |
Because they are afraid to be blamed at school. |
（3）How does the writer explain why people tell lies？
| A． |
By asking questions. |
| B． |
By giving examples. |
| C． |
By showing the results. |

The face﹣down generation（一代）
If you were born in the 2000s， you are called the oh﹣ohs． The 21st century． That would make you young， creative， connected， world﹣wide， and no doubt smart． Maybe good﹣looking， too． Right？ But what do other people think about your generation？
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you． They think of you as the "face﹣down generation" because you use your phone so much． They wonder how you will deal with school， friends， and family．
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt（溺爱）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life． Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents"． They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after﹣school activities such as dancing， drawing， or sports． With parents who do everything for them， today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s．
Does the face﹣down generation need a heads﹣up？ Well， probably not． The fact．is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations． They seem to be willing to become leaders． More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities． There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai， the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school．
So if you're one of the oh﹣ohs， there's reason to be hopeful about the future． Things are looking up for the face﹣down generation． Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud．
（1）If Alice was born in 2004， is she an oh﹣oh？
（2）Why do some adults think of the oh﹣ohs as the "face﹣down generation"？
（3）What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children？
（4）How does the writer organize Paragraph 4？
A． Time order．

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done．All you need is a 3﹣D printer．
The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless （无穷尽的）．All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in．The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses （按）﹣print，the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer （层） by layer and like magic the object is produced．
The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American，Charles Hull．But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．
And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．
In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers （提款机盗刷器）．These were placed on an ATM and stole over ＄400，000from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3﹣D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

The journey to and from school is a major reason for stress throughout the world．And the journey can even make you sick．Yet one city has found a way to make its train journeys more comfortable while offering enjoyable reading at the same time，just like in a library．
On two train lines in Beijing，the underground cars（车厢）have been turned into libraries，but they're not traditional libraries．Instead of real copies of books，the underground cars provide e﹣books．
When passengers get into the cars，they can see pictures of different book covers on the walls and even doors．Passengers can browse（浏览）the books just like in any other library．Once they've made their choice，they can use a mobile phone to scan the QR code（扫二维码）on the cover of their chosen book．The QR code leads to an e﹣book app，on which the passengers can read the e﹣book for free．And they can still enjoy the book on the app even after leaving the train．
Thanks to the underground's idea，passengers can discover new stories every time they take a ride．In this way，the journey will not be boring any longer，and passengers will not complain about the journey either．Instead，they can benefit（受益）a lot from it．

Each year on Feb 21， UNESCO （ 联合国教科文组织） holds an International Mother Language Day （IMLD ）． The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages； many of them are disappearing each year． UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact．
What happens when a language dies out？ Something great is lost﹣not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other． We keep different cultures and traditions through languages． Kill a language and all these are killed too．
Through IMLD， more and more people come to realize he terrible situation and try to stop it．
Google's 2018 Endangered （濒临灭绝的） Languages Project is a good example． Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload （上传） texts， audios and videos to the project website． They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world．
The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes （部落） of the United States． Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language ， which died out in the 1960s．
These activities give life to those endangered languages． People who work to keep Languages
alive are not limited to the past． Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities． They "spread the word " to save the world．
So， while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one， there is hope． We all have a special feeling of our mother language． This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa， Nelson Mandela： "If you talk to a man in a language he understands， that goes to his head． If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart．"

Sun bears（马来熊）are the smallest of the world's eight bears species（物种）． They have a black coat and a white or golden colour on their bodies． Their homes are in the tropical（热带雨林）of Southeast Asia． They live in trees and eat both plants and animals． They can grow to be 1.4 metres in height and 65 kilograms in weight． They usually live alone and are happy to spend most of their time by themselves．
Scientists studied sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center． They found that although sun bears live alone， they have developed a surprising social skill． They can copy （模仿） other sun bear's facial expression （面部表情） as a form of communication． They can even copy exact muscular （肌肉的） movements that other sun bears make﹣ such as making a face．
The ability to copy facial expressions is found in humans， gorilla's （大猩猩）， some monkeys and some other animals． But until now， only humans and gorillas have the ability to exactly copy facial expressions． However， scientists found that sun bears can copy facial expression as well as humans and gorillas． This surprised them because sun bears are alone and they have no close relationship with human beings．
Although they live alone in the wild， the sun bears in the study often played gently with each other． Sometimes they played with faster actions as hitting and biting． Scientists are still not sure what messages the sun bears were sending to one another．
