Why Is 2020 Called a Leap Year?
February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years. A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.【1】.
American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.
In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.【2】.
The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth’s orbit around the sun exactly.【3】. So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra day — or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day.
“Leap” is also an important word for two other common American expressions.【4】. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, “Look before you leap.” The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to “take a leap of faith” means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.【5】. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.
A.One is a kind of warning.
B.That’s why we called it a Leap Year
C.It just leaped right over Wednesday.
D.Each year, we have a little time left over.
E.You have to wait three years in between birthdays!
F.As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly.
G.Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however.

Good news for awkward teenagers around the world.As time goes by,you could __ up like a completely different person.
This comes from the longest running personality study ever __ by scientists.According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the U.K,our personality changes so much from youth to old age that most people's personalities in older age are barely __ compared to their younger selves.
The researchers analyzed results from a study in 1947,which gathered 1,208 teenagers in Scotland aged 14 and asked their teachers to __.Their personalities based on six traits(特征)
Now more than six decades later,the University of Edinburgh team has managed to contact 635 of the __ students,and 174 agreed to have their personalities tested once more.
At an average age of 76.7 years old,the group were asked to __ themselves on the same six personality traits,then pick a close friend or family member to do the same.
By __ the then-and-now test results,the researchers found that there is hardly a relationship between traits people had as teenagers and those in their older years.
It was"as if the second tests had been given to __ people,"the study's researchers wrote in their report,which was published in journal Psychology and Aging.
The results were a surprise because research in the past found personality __ in people tested from childhood to middle-age,and from middle-age to older age.
As the team explained,our personality appears stable over short intervals-__ so throughout adulthood.__,the longer the intervals between two tests of personality,the __ the relationship between the two tends to be.
It is clear that more studies are needed to find out what is going on here.but it could be the first___ that is not just our cells that are being __ throughout life--the way we think,feel and behave might not be as___ as we once thought.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed(辗转)and turned in bed.
Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung(附 着)to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach.
Sami watched dumbstruck(呆若木鸡).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging(汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1:
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.

Paragraph 2:
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.”
