A lot of people drink bottled water in the world． A water bottle offers great convenience． It can be bought almost anywhere， carried around for a while， and then thrown away．

The influence of bottled water on the environment， however， is very big． About 2.7million tons of plastic is turned into bottles which are only used once each year． This requires a lot of oil and water． It also produces greenhouse gases． Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it． This uses even more fossil fuels（化石燃料） and creates more pollution． Although the bottles can be recycled， only small parts of themare． The United States only recycles about 23percent． The rest are part of a growing waste problem．

Convenience isn't the only reason for bottled water to become popular． Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems． But this is not true． In developed countries such as the United States and some countries in Europe， laws about safe water are often stricter for tap water than for bottled water．

It may come as a surprise that nearly 40percent of the water bottled in the United States starts from tap water． Before bottling， some companies filter（过滤）it， and they might add some things for taste． What's more， bottled water can cost from 240to 10， 000times more than tap water．

"Back to the tap" activities start around the world， In order to save money， use fewer resources， and create less waste， they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water． San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy Many bottled water companies are trying to improve， too． They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles．

Nowadays， with the development of the Internet， emoji（表情符号）are more and more popular among netizens（网民）． Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emoji． Emoji help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly（生动地）． Yet， not all emoji are properly used on social media． So we are going to introduce some common but confusing（令人困惑的）emoji to help you have a better understanding of these small signs．

1． A recent survey shows， over 53% people use the emoji when they are chatting online． Some people think it means "I'm shy，" but others only use it when they are surprised or shocked． But what does it really mean？ It is still an unsolved question．

Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters．

Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organslike the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily．

"Being thin doesn' t surely mean you are not fat，"said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have tested nearly 800people with MRI to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat．

According to the result，people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （堆积物） of inside fat，even if they are thin．

Even people with normal Body Mass Index （体重指数） scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45percent of those with normal BMI scores （20to 25）actually had too high levels of inside fat．Men were nearly 60percent．

According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes （糖尿病）．They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body' s communication systems．

The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits．"If you want to be healthy，there is no other way．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，"Bell said．

（1）What is this piece of news mainly about？

D．	Thin people also have troubles．

（2）What does the underlined word " organs"in the second paragraph mean？

A．	Exercise can help to reduce the inside fat．
B．	People can reduce inside fat by improving their eating habits．
C．	Women have more chances to have too much inside fat．
D．	Not all the people who look thin are really thin inside．

（5）From the last paragraph，we can find that 　　．

I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they' d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal﹣black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave （原谅） the crows．

To be honest，I' ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They' re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they' d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can' t do any gardening out there．But I' m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It' s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests．Then it reached a desert，"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，" she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many tries，she still failed．"Maybe I can' t reach the ocean，" she said sadly to herself．

At this time，a deep voice said，"If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert，so can a river．"

No!" The little stream could not accept this idea．"The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，" said the desert．"And whether you are a river or vapor，your nature never changes．" Hearing this，the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．

Possible Earth﹣Like Planet Next Door？

Scientists say they discovered an earth﹣like planet outside our solar system （太阳系）． It is a planet that could support life．

This planet is just 4.2light years away from us． It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor． They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century ﹣﹣ in time for people alive today to see it．

An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called "Proxima Centauri"． The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature．

Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life． And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold． The newly﹣discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B． It moves around its sun， Proxima Centauri， once every 11days．

American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth﹣like planets． In 2013， scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion （1，000million） "earths" in space．

Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research． He said that Proxima B not only confirms （确认） the discovery of a planet， but also increases the number of other possible"earths" greatly．

Boss said it is possible， even likely， that most stars have at least one earth﹣like planet， which he considers surprising．

So from the early number of a billion， this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth﹣like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy （银河系）． That is， anywhere from 250billion to 500billion "earths"．

This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime． "I am 65，" he said， "but I expect to still be alive when it happens．"

（1）When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B？____

A．	In about eighty years．
B．	In about 4． 2years．
C．	In about eleven days．
D．	In about one billion years．

（2）In the fourth paragraph， the writer thinks that ____ is necessary for life．

A．	water
B．	light
C．	air
D．	wind

（3）What does the underlined word "This" stand for in the last paragraph？____

A．	Scientists have discovered an earth﹣like planet last month．
B．	There are far more earth﹣like planets than people thought．
C．	Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor．
D．	The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in．

（4）What does Alan Boss mean by saying "but I expect to still be alive when it happens"？　____

A．	His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life．
B．	Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years．
C．	Scientists may soon find fact that there's life on other planets．
D．	America is far ahead of other countries in space research．

Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories"． We will research into some commonly used words and expressions． As with other languages， American English is rich in expressions that come from animals． Today we will talk about the wolf．

Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America． Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s， to native （土著的） Americans， wolves often meant being brave．

However， in English， wolves are not to be trusted． Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals． Whatever the reason， wolves were killed in many places． So many died that they almost became endangered． They also became known as bad animals．

To begin with， there is an expression lone wolf． If we call somebody a lone wolf， he isn't a bad person， but he may like to do things by himself． In fact， he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them．

Now， let's move on to the home． Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food． In other words， the child eats too quickly and without care． And if someone says a child was raised by wolves， that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal．

A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks． But a wolf call is not a nice thing． These men sound rude． And trust me， most women really hate wolf calls． So， they don't help a man in the game of love．

By the way， there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story： a wolf in sheep's clothing． A wolf in sheep's clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside． It tells us not to be fooled by appearances．

（1）What can we know after reading the passage？____

A．	Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals．
B．	B Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves．
C．	C In different areas and times， wolves make people think of different things．
D．	Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s．

（2）If a person is called a lone wolf， which of the following things is he most likely to do？　____

A．	Helping classmates to finish homework．
B．	Stealing money if nobody is watching．
C．	Making many friends with people around．
D．	Going to see a movie on his own after school．

（3）Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules？____

A．	A lone wolf．
B．	Raised by wolves．
C．	Wolf call．
D．	A wolf in sheep's clothing．

（4）Where is it possible for us to find the passage above？____

A．	A book for travel guide．
B．	A magazine on trade and business．
C．	A science report．
D．	A program for English learning．

One day， as two little boys were walking along the road， they passed a woman carrying a large basket of apples．

The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired， so they said， "Are you going to town？ If you are， we will carry your basket．" "Thank you，" replied the woman， Then she told them that she had a disabled son． She lived in a small house three miles away， and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden． She needed the money for their living．

"We are going the same way you are，" said the boys and they took hold of the basket， one on each side， and trudged along with merry hearts． The poor woman looked glad， and said that she hoped their mother would not be angry with them． "Oh， no，" they replied， "our mother has taught us to be kind to others， and to be useful in any way that we can．"

The woman then offered to give them a few apples for their help． "No， thank you． We want nothing for what we have done，" said the boys． When the woman got home， she told her son what had happened on the road， and they were both made happier that day by the kindness of the two boys．

Another day， the woman saw his son stop and pick up a piece of orange peel， which he threw into the dustbin． "I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk，" said the son． "Someone may walk upon it， and fall．" "That is right， my dear，" she said． "It is a little thing for you to do what you have done， but it shows that you're thoughtful and considerate．"

Tears came into this mothers eyes when she talked about waking up her son． Every morning， her ten﹣year﹣old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed， begging for one more minute to sleep．

Why is he so sleepy？ Because， like thousands of student "early birds"in China， he has to get up before 6：00a．m． every morning．

School students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep a night． But in China， it's reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep And studies show that without a good nights sleep， students seem to be weaker than they should be． They can't pay attention to their lessons or the traffic around them， and become upset as a result．

Li Ming， a student of a middle school in Linhe， said， "I usually go to bed after 11： 00 p．m But when I have exams coming up， I have to stay up as late as midnight． "This"night bird lifestyle has made many students nod off（打瞌睡） in class． Li Ming said， "It is during afternoon classes that I feel most sleepy． My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late． They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee．

So far， the officials of the Educational Bureau of Bayannao'er City have aken many measures to reduce the students'pressure． One is known as putting off （推迟） the time for going to school． It has worked well in increasing the students'sleeping time． Thanks to the policy， the students have enough time to sleep now． However， some people doubt the correctness of it．The problem of the students' pressure is still serious in our area， We still have a long way to go．
