Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is the most beautiful invention in public health'. Washing your hands with soap can have a huge impacton reducing (减少) the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy and in school.
However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren't enough resources (资源) in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood ﹣﹣ but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.
In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries.
Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people's lives and improves the health of millions around the world.

Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?
Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name". The name is a special whistle (哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They "talk" to each other about a lot of things﹣such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one "speaks dolphin" yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join othersfrom different pods to play games and have fun﹣﹣just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them :they get to eat some of the fish that escape (逃脱) from the net.

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. 'You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old.' This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.
This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three, Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen﹣year﹣old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.
Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning."

B. |

Because her family moved a lot. |
B. |
Because she was not a good dancer. |

Because she had no invitation letter. |
D. |
Because she had the wrong body type. |
(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Copeland became successful because of the advertisement. |

Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents. |

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of"the two﹣child policy(政策)"?
Everyone knows the one﹣child policy. It is a population control method. Chinese government aimed to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood thatand followed this policy for nearly 40 years. Everyone should be responsible for our country.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are many about:
● The number of the workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.
● China is now getting into aging(老龄化)society.There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctor and nurses to take care of them.
● The population of China will be become smaller and smaller if one﹣child policy continues. It's the basic reason that leads to the two problems above.
That's why Chinese government began the two﹣child policy on January 1 st,2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually. This policy will help offer enough workers in the future and prevent our country from entering the aging society. It is reported that will be around 2.5 million newly﹣born babies each years.

On the suburb (郊区) of a town in England,there lived an old man in a nice house with a large garden.(61) He watered and fertilized (施肥) them.
One day a young man went by the garden.He looked at the beautiful flowers,imaging how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place.(62) He was very surprised about this and asked,"You can't see these flowers,why are you busy taking good care of them every day?"
The old man smiled and said,"I can tell you four reasons.First,I was a gardener since I was young,and I really like this job.Second,(63) Third,I can smell the sweetness of them.As for the last one,that's you."
"Me?But you don't know me,"said the young man.
"Yeah,it's true that I don't know you.But I know that flowers are angels (天使) that everyone knows.(64) "
The blind man's work opened our eyes and pleased our hearts,which also made his life happier.It was just like Beethoven (贝多芬).(65) Beethoven himself couldn't hear his wonderful music,but his music has encouraged millions of people to face their difficulties bravely.Isn't it one kind of happiness?
A.He couldn't hear anything in his later life and wrote great musical works. B.He took care of his flowers all the time. C.I can touch then though I can't see these flowers. D.Then,suddenly he found the old gardeners was blind. E.We can enjoy the happiness which these flowers have brought us. |
China is a great country with the largest population in the world.In order to solve the population problem,our government carried outone-child policy (政策) before.When it is carried out for some time,many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016,two-child policy is put into effect.In my opinion,two-child policy is good.First of all,two-child policy is the gift for some only child (独生子).For some families,maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child.Besides the loneliness of their child,when their child grows up and they grow older,their child marry an only child girl,the burden (负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy.Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples.Usually,it is a little difficult for a young couple to look after an old couple.But if their parents have two children,they can share the burden of taking care of their parents.It would be much better.Secondly,two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all,one-child policy has been out of date.And tow-child policy is needed and necessary.It can solve the problem of nowadays and the future.

We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be "liked". Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get "liked" or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, . So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. "Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!" It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

Thang﹣ga (唐卡) is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. It started from the Tang 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 (矿物质) 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.

As an English,I can speak three languages-English,German and French,so do you think the British people are very good language learners?The fact is that they aren't.
Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会)showed that 62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more.Compared with the British people,56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language.Many European people can have a conversation in English.That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language.That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school.In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14.So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school?Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school.One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents,we visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds.Some are native (当地的) to Australia and can only be found there.There are over 600 animals there,including kangaroos,koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼).They are kept in their natural environment.I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).
We first spent some time with the kangaroos.We were allowed to touch and feed them.It was very exciting to be so close to them.There were koalas there too.They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的).Although we were not allowed to carry them,I got to take a photo with one.
It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of fresh water and saltwater crocodiles.Some of them are really big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth!I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show.The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had.I saw an old parrot which could"talk".It made a great impression on me.
I enjoyed the trip very much.There was so much to see.
