Mostly， inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem． Kids are natural inventors．They often create amazing thing from simple ideas．Here are a few examples that might make you wonder，"Why didn't think of that？"

   Popsicles

   Popsicles were invented by 11﹣year ﹣old Frank Epperson in 1905． He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir（搅拌） stick in it outside on a cold night． The next day it was ice． Because of this he couldn't drink it any more， but he could eat it． It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool．

   More than a hundred years later， popsicles are sill one of the best summer treats!

   Crayon Holdans

   When 11﹣ year﹣ old Cssidss Coldstein needed crayons for a school project，she had a hard time because，there were so many small or broken ones．She found some small clear plastic tubes（管子）at home．Although the tiny tube were usually filled with water to keep flowers fresh， she found that they fit tightly （紧紧地） around the crayons． She was now able to hold them easily．This is how she invented Caryon Holders．

   Wristies

   When snow gets in kids' gloves and their hands get wet， they feel uncomfortable.10﹣year﹣old Kathryn Gregoary decided to do something about it．She created the wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists（手腕）warm and dry． Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your coat． They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers． With her parents' help， Kathryn also opened a small shop where she sold her wristie． And she still runsit today．

"Life's a long，long journey." so we are told，and most of us would not set off on a journey，even a short one，without some ideas of where we wanted to go.Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.

To help make the process more manageable，divide your goals into smaller tasks.For example，if you want to reach a main goal in five years，set a three﹣year goal，a one﹣year goal，a three﹣month goal and a one﹣month goal.Then create a daily To﹣Do List of things that you should do today.When a goal is achieved，take the time to enjoy your success.This helps you build the self﹣confidence.

Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D.C.was offering a free course，specially designed for blind people，This was an important chance for me.

But how would I map my way？I knew that the American singer Ray Charles，also blind，got around on his own without a cane （手杖）.His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout （布局）of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.

At first，I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind，The next time I visited that place，I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it，But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help，not thinking what others think or say about me.

Sometimes I'd be down and I'd consider giving up.Perhaps my uncle was right.Maybe I'd stay home and wait until someone came to help.On those days when I lost my way，I'd go to bed with a bad feeling.▲.I had e strong wish 10 bear blindness and be successful，and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.

Today，I'm a reporter and broadcaster.I've achieved my dream.

Yes，I've lost my way many times and found it again.Yes，I've come close to being hit by a car but never bee hit by one.When people ask， "Aren't you afraid to be out alone？" the answer to me is clear；I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

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

D．Peer Pressure：Its Influence on Teens and Decision 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．

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.

In 2010，he went on a diving （潜水）vacation in Greece and was shocked."I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water，" he said.

From then on，Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution.He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup，a non﹣government organization.Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish.He has set up the world's first ocean cleanup system （ 系统）with his team.

Every year，over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans，and it can take up to 500 years to break down.In 2018，the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050.Sea animals easily get caught in plastic.They can't move.They can even die if they eat it.Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain （链）and end up in our bodies.

Slat's plan was to create an environmentally﹣friendly，large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.

After seven years of tests，on October 2nd，2019，a machine called System 001/B came out.It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.

Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B.Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？

Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.

（1）The coronavirus can 　 　.

A．	not be killed
B．	not be found
C．	cause deaths
D．	stop pandemic

（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination can provide us with B cells.
B．	Vaccines are made from different viruses.
C．	Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.
D．	Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine 　 　.

A．	needs taking more than once
B．	is equally safe
C．	contains viruses that are killed
D．	is more effective

（4）What can we learn from the passage？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.
B．	The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.
C．	The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.
D．	180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

Marianne Carus，who started Cricket（蟋蟀）magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief（总主编）until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.

   "The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one， " said Joe Newbum，a director of Duplin County Animal Services.

   "It's a nice dog，" Newbum added. "He likes to play and he is very smart.He sits，stays and shakes hands.He is very polite."

When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers （尿布）. A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.

Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers' market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested（收获）with no man-made additions.

There are several ways in which farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers' markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit（信用）cards or checks （支票）as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers' markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.

Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers' markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food. Those who value convenience and（多样）will probably choose to shop at a grocery store. People who value freshness and enjoy supporting local farmers will probably prefer the farmers' markets. Luckily, most communities provide choices for both kinds of shoppers.

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette （长棍面包） is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower，" said Dominigue Anract，president of the Confederation of French Bakers.

    So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.

    UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list，it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.

    The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things：water，wheat flour，yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented （发酵） for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.

    Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However，as supermarkets continue to take over，tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette，" Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."
