Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition．Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture．
It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong．People say that he lived 5，000 years ago．One summer day，while he was visiting a faraway part of his country，he felt very thirsty．The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink．Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water．The king drank some，and found it could make him feel less tried．Also as a scientist，Shen Nong was interested in the new drink．And so，tea was created in 2737 BC．
Drinking tea has many advantages．It makes people feel less tired，clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight．As you add a cup of tea to your daily life，please check the following helpful advice．
l Drink it hot．Tea oxidizes（氧化） quickly，so it is suggested that you drink it hot．
l Do not drink too much strong tea．It will probably be harmful to your stomach and make you feel sick if you make the tea too strong．
l The best time to drink tea is between meals．It may not make you have a strong wish to eat when your stomach is full．
l Do not drink with medicine．It may change the medical result．You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine．
l Green tea is the best choice for office workers．Why？Because green tea helps stop the bad result of the computer．

China has ended its long﹣lasted one﹣child policy，all Chinese couples now are allowed to have two children，which means that many Chinese children，including you，may have siblings （兄弟姐妹） in the future．
Like many only children in China，Pan is happy and confident，except when she feels lonely every now and then．"It's not fun，especially when I travel with my parents．How I wish I could have a brother or a sister，"she said．Now it could be time for Pan to realize her dream．But what would it be like growing up with a sibling？
Having a sibling can prevent children from bad feelings such as loneliness and fear，according to Laura Walker from Brigham Young University，US．"Siblings give kids something that parents can't，"she said．
You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with．You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other．
But children with siblings also have to control their feelings and learn to compromise，said Laura．You need to share things with your siblings，including attention from parents，toys，the bathroom and even the TV．There is also unpleasant competition which you have to deal with．
It's also said that the birth order decides how parents treat their children．Parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child．So firstborns （including only children） have more sense of responsibility because parents set high goals for them．When the couple has a second child，they are more relaxed，less strict and have fewer rules．So late﹣born kids are usually funny and creative．

Pappadavada，a popular restaurant in Kochi，India，is encouraging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take．
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time for any reason．Minu Pauline，who runs Pappadavada，has nicknamed the fridge，which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree，tree of goodness"．
The fridge is open 24 hours a day，seven days a week and stays unlocked．Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food，so those who take know how long it's been there．But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long．In spite of a huge response （回应）from the community and plenty of donations，the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time．Pauline herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge．
The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching in a trashcan （垃圾箱）for food．She was especially saddened because that particular night，her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman，instead of her searching for it．She felt like she contributed to waste，and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to．
"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge．But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the trashcan，"she said．

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves？Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner，or a car full of passengers who are reading，listening to music or even sleeping．But none of them are worried about the road ahead．
Well，all of this could be the future of driving．There are several companies，including Google，working on driverless cars．So far，no Google self﹣driven car has gotten a traffic ticket，but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them．
These cars are now still in the testing stages．But，if the tests are successful，these electric self﹣driven cars could be put into use very soon．
The cars already have many features （特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations．Some features include cars being able to park themselves，or slow down when they notice objects close by．They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions．
Scientists and engineers believe，with the help of wireless （无线电的）signals，cameras and GPS，we are now at a stage where creating a safe self﹣driven car might be possible．
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions．The self﹣driven car may be able to prevent these．However，some people do not like the idea．American lawyer Whit Drake，for example，doesn't believe these cars are safe．He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes．
61．The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ．
A．make readers wonder about self﹣driven cars
B．get readers to pay attention to road safety
C．tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic
62．The testing self﹣driven cars need energy to run．
A．solar
B．nuclear
C．electric
63．From the passage，we know that the testing self﹣driven cars can already
A．avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads
B．control the speed in dangerous situations
C．turn around when getting near objects
64．What might make the self﹣driven cars run safely according to the passage？
a．e﹣reading
b．wireless signals
c．cameras
d．GPS
A．a，b，c
B．a，b，d
C．b，c，d
65．What is Whit Drake's attitude （态度）toward the safety of the self﹣driven cars？
A．He has doubt about it．
B．He believes it completely．
C．He doesn't care about it．
The cold wind blew strongly outside． Amaya was warm in her house， thinking about an article she'd read at school． The article was about kids who helped out their communities， and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town， Harvard．
The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help． In the article， the kids had grown food for people who needed food， but it was winter． She couldn't start a garden． Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping．

Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．
"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．
For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．
"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．
It gave us a new understanding of language，said Andies．That is，not only do humans understand the meaning in words，other species（物种） do too．

What's a spacewalk？ Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft（航天器） while in space， it is called a spacewalk． Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons． For example， experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft． This lets scientists learn how being in space affects（ 影响） different things． By going on spacewalks， astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix．
When astronauts go on spacewalks， they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe． Inside spacesuits， astronauts have the oxygen（氧气） they need to breathe and the water they need to drink． To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe， the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door． When on a spacewalk， astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft． Tethers are like ropes， connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft． They keep astronauts from floating（ 漂 浮 ） away into space． Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER． SAFER is worn like a backpack． It helps an astronaut move around in space．
How do astronauts train for spacewalks？ One way is by going for a swim． Floating in space is a lot like floating in water． Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool． For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk， astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool． Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality（虚拟现实）． It looks and feels just like a spacewalk．
Today， only three countries have finished spacewalks independently． They are Russia， the United States and China． The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia． Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk． The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev． He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space．

A． some things can be fixed by astronauts during spacewalks
B． all experiments must be placed on the outside of a spacecraft
C． an astronaut can get out of a spacecraft any time while in space
D． a spacewalk lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things

A． Two．
B． Three．
C． Four．
D． Five．

When Reginald Johnston， a British scholar（学者）， first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919， most palaces weren't allowed to visit． But a century later， when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary（周年纪念） in October，the 599 year﹣ old palace complex（宫殿群） becomes the world' s busiest museum．
Open to the public
In the old days， ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside． When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925． the public could go into the palaces． Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025．
Embracing（拥抱） the world
"It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history．"Christopher Allen from Britain said， "I beginto love its history and culture．"
The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors． It attracted about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas（海外的） exhibitions were held in 2018 The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon（文化现象） everywhere it goes．
Attracting the youth
On the Palace Museums online store on Taodao， you can find more than 10， 000 cultural products． The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular．
Some favourite products also go offline． For example， the Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate"， the most popular drink always has people lining up（排队） to get a taste．
As a child， Xu Jing often rode a bike in front of the Meridian Gate（午门）．"I had little memory of the museum then， but now I am more willing to visit it after watching several popular TV shows about the museum， "she said．

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.

We spent holidays with our uncle．He loved to go on walks to collect stones．One day，he bought us backpacks（背包） and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones．
The whole day we walked around．Every now and then he put stones in our bags．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from our bags．But we thought he had just found better stones．
When we returned to the house，we were very tired．The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down．But uncle's backpack was half empty．
"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks？"we asked．
"I didn't．You did．"He said．"You didn't know it，but I gave you a test today．I listened to every word you said．Whenever you were complaining（抱怨），I added a stone to your bags．Whenever you talked about something with positive（积极的） thinking，I took out a stone．And now look at your backpacks．"Our backpacks were full of stones．
Your negative（消极的） thoughts are like stones．You carry themin your mind just like those stones in a backpack．The more negative thoughts，the heavier your mind．
With great love，our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life．

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall．
For me， height was my trouble． I was much taller than other girls， so I often bent（ 弯曲） my body at the back of the line． I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd． And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade．
My grandfather didn't laugh at me． Instead， whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter， he would tell me "Stand straight and tall， Alisa． "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood． And whenever I was afraid of something， he always told me stories of his life．
My grandfather grew up in war﹣torn（战乱的） Europe．" Stand straight， stand tall "meant something else then． After the war， he went to America． He lived a hard life， "If they could do it， why couldn't I？""Stand straight， stand tall，"he often reminded（提醒） himself． Thanks to the help of a friend， my grandfather got a job． He once told me that he was very nervous at first． He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language．
"Stand straight， stand tall，" he would always tell himself． I am so proud of my grandfather． After listening to my grandfather 's unusual experiences， I have changed the way I look at my own life．
"Stand straight， stand tall"has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture（身姿）． It also tells me to be proud of who I am．
