It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity（慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣you and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play， …
While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating（欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．
In the following months， I wrote to my friends， doctors， teachers and parenting role models． In July， my "food" month， I wrote to Julie，who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this：
Dear Julie，
I've been finding myself missing you lately． Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food． Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary（周年纪念日）．We talk about it every year．
Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"
On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．

Thang﹣ga（唐卡） is a special kind of painting，It was found only in Tibet．China It started from the dynasty （唐朝）．Thang﹣ga paintings show Tibetan people's lives．In recent years，Thang﹣ga paintings have caught the public's attention．At the same time，the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art．
The colors of Thang﹣ga paintings look wonderful and special Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists，the paints （颜料）used in Thang﹣ga paintings are different from other paints．They were made from minerals like gold and silver，as well as some plants．The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last （持续）for hundreds of years
However，with the development of technology，people now use cheaper and easily﹣made chemicals to make Thang﹣ga paints．The traditional paints used in Thang﹣ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways．Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them．So the skills needed to make them were almost lost．The traditional Thang﹣ga paintings are difficult to find now．
根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）误（F）
（1）Thang﹣ga is a special and unusual kind of art．
（2）Thang﹣ga was found only in Tibet in the Tang dynasty．
（3）The special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists make Thang﹣ga paints different from other paints．
（4）The colors of Thang﹣ga paintings can last for hundreds of years with modern technology．
（5）The skills of artists have been already lost，so it is difficult to find the traditional Thang﹣ga paintings． ．
Tide is the regular rise and fall of the ocean level caused by the movement of the sun， the earth and the moon． It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas．
To make use of tidal energy， we need to build tidal power stations． The bays and the river mouths where the tide is high（the tidal range is more than 10 metres） are usually perfect sites to build tidal power stations． There are many such places in the world． According to the IRENA （ the International Renewable Energy Agency）， by just using 2% of our coastlines， we can produce 4，383TWh of ocean power each year， enough to meet 16.4% of the world's electricity needs．
To build a tidal power station， we need to build a dam． In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator'． When the tide rises，water comes through the dam，the turbines turn and the electric generators work， producing electricity．When the tide falls，water goes out through the dam， the turbines turn again．The electric generators continue to work．
Tidal energy has its advantages．Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy， like coal or gas． For example， the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years， producing around 5.000.000TWh of electricity each year． The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh．
Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day． As long as the sun， the earth and the moon exist，we can use it to produce electricity． But without sunshine， there is no solar energy． When there is no wind，electric generators will not work． In addition， with the development of modern technology， tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously．
However， we still have some problems to solve． It is difficult to build a dam in the sea， and the cost is very high．Moreover it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in its best condition．Scientists are working on them．
（1）A tidal power station is best built ．
A．at a river mouth with wind
B． along the coast with waves
C． In a bay with tide high enough
D．in coastal areas with sunshine
（2）The underlined word "turbine" in Paragraph Three is a machine to ．
A． make the tide rise and fall
B． make an electric generator work
C． let water go through the dam
D．keep the dam in good condition
（3）What advantage does tidal energy have？
A． We can use it to get useful tide．
B． It can improve the ocean environment．
C． We can use it nearly all the time．
D． It meets 16． 4% of the electricity needs．
（4）How can we make better use of tidal energy？
A． By digging more bays and river mouths．
B． By building cheaper tidal power stations．
C． By closing traditional electric power plants．
D． By using tidal energy to replace other energy．

Since NASA's Viking Task tested Martian soil back in the 1970s，we've known that Mars （火星） is covered with a desert—harmful to life as we know it.But since tasks to Mars paid attention to what lies under the desert，a different picture has started to appear.
This discovery of water under the Mars' South Pole is the result of radar echoes （雷达回波） that were picked up by an instrument on a spaceship that's been moving around Mars for 15 years.To stay liquid （液体） under the long﹣frozen desert of Mars，the researchers say this lake must have a lot of salts mixed in it.
It is very cold and saltiness would make it a very hard environment for any living thing.But the lead researcher，Professor Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics，said it was not impossible for things to live there.
To search for life in this newly discovered lake，scientists will need to send a robot that's able to make a hole through the mile of ice covering it.But at least the teams looking for life on Mars will now know where to start their search.
