"Why do I live？ Why do I wish for anything， or do anything？ Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death？" Like Leo Tolstoy， the famous Russian writer， many people ask these difficult questions． Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions．
As a young man， he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough． So he worked very hard to be the best in everything． He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success．
In 1850s． Tolstoy wrote his first stories． He wrote about his life in the army． He also told stories about his childhood． These works were published and Tolstoy became a well﹣known writer．
He earned the respect he always wanted． Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy． Some of them were writers like him． They talked a lot about faith （ 信仰） and the meaning of life． But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect． Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith．
So in the 1860s， Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life． He opened a school for the children of his serfs﹣the people who worked on his land． These workers were very poor． He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew．
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers． He understood how they worked hard to support their
families． He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning． So in 1862， Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs．
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life． It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books﹣War and Peace and Anna Karenina． Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written． In these books， Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families． Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness．
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today． His faith and writings have influenced many
people all over the world．

Can plants talk？Modern research has found something amazing：they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other.This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects.The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten.This is like a warning，or a call for help："I'm being attacked!"When another plant gets the chemicals，it starts to give out its own，different chemicals.Some of these chemicals drive insects away.Others attract the wasps （黄蜂；蜜蜂）!The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants.Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system，so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly，plants also use sound to communicate.People can't hear these sounds，but plants are making them.Some plants make noises with their roots.Corn and chili plants do this.Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all，plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest.Scientists call this system the "wood wide web".The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi （霉菌）.It links the roots of different plants to each other.It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.Using the wood wide web，plants can share information and even food with each other.However，it may lead to bad effects.Plants may use it to steal food from each other，or spread chemicals to attack other plants.Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other.Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.

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．

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．

When I was young，I lived in Scotland with my parents．I had a good time there．
One morning， I ran to the garden， and said to the old Scotsman who worked there． "Today I am going up the mountain for berries．"
"No， no， Missey， not today． "he said， "It will rain．"
"No， it will not rain． "I said， "The sun is up． The cook says it will be fine． The glass in the hall does not say rain．
"Tuts， tuts． "said the old man， "I care for no suns， or cooks， or glasses． The pimpernel （海绿）says it will rain， and so it will rain． Flowers， Missey， always tell the truth． When they say rain， go and get your umbrella．"
Sure enough， by noon the rain was pouring down． After that， I looked with great respect at the tiny flower， sometimes brickred， sometimes blue， which could tell about the weather． But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet．
If you go into the garden， and find the African marigolds shut after seven o' clock in the morning， you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day． There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded． It is called the "rainy﹣marigold"．
Most plants which we call"weather prophets"shut up for rain． But some plants open for rain． The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light． Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light．
But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade． You will find that most shade﹣ loving plants， as the verbenas， do not close for rain．
Lilies， tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain． Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain． The roses make no change． They seem not to fear wet．
On the whole， you may be pretty sure， if you go into your garden， and find many flowers﹣as tulips， marigolds and morning glories﹣﹣shut， it will be a stormy day， unfit for picnics or long walks．

（2）You can go out for a picnic when ．
A． the morning glories and lilies do not shut
B． the African marigolds shut after 7： 00 a．m．
C． the pimpernels open wide in the daytime
D． the roses and tulips shut in the sunshine
（3）What do we know from the passage？
A． The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather．
B． The glass in the hall has magic for the writer's family to know about weather．
C． We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden．
D． Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on．
（4）The passage is mainly about ．
A． watching flowers carefully before going out
B． learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman
C． the importance of growing flowers in the garden
D． the relationship between some flowers and weather

Prevailing（盛行的） digital（数字的） reading
The growth of digital reading has made reading more popular among the Chinese． According to a survey， about 76 percent said they had accessed （访问） content through digital channels． Chen Chengpei， an office worker in Xiamen City loves reading on his mobile phone app in his spare time． He thinks it's so easy to kill the spare minutes．Mobile phone reading has become the main channel for him to get information． He has downloaded seven news apps， through which he reads for one or two hours a day．
Listening to audiobooks has become a new growth point in terms of reading habits． ZhangJin from Beijing likes reading 40 minutes on his mobile while going to work on the bus in the morning， and listening to audiobooks on the way home． According to Ximalaya， 16.9 percent of its total users listen to its audiobooks． To attract more users， the mobile app allows users to vote for the book they hope to listen to most． The audio app tries to meet their needs．

Li Yang， a student in Beijing， used to be worried by piles of books as her house is too small． The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second﹣hand bookstore Deja Vu．"By selling them， most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again． "she said．
According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2018， the market for the second﹣hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online．
The rise of online second﹣hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling．

A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don't want to spend much time on their phones． This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system（安卓操作系统）． This new app includes functions（功能） that help users manage the time． For example， users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone， how many times they've checked their social media apps， and how much time they spend on each app every day．
Once the users see this information， they'll be able to make some changes． With the App Timer（计时） function， users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day． After they've hit the limit， they won't be able to use the app until the next day． And with another function， the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down．

Alice Lee is a high school student studying at a private school． She is doing some voluntary work at an after﹣school program to help students from poor families．
On the first day of her work， she noticed that many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruits． She was surprised． One of the organizers explains that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home． So a school lunch or an after﹣meal might be the most food they would get all the day． She has also been told that some hungry kids can receive free lunches， but others are only allowed reduced﹣price meals， and those students' families have to pay for the part of their food．
