Here are some of the must-reads of this year.
Giraffe Problems by Jory John

Hanging stocking(长袜) by the chimney(烟囱) with care is one of the most popular Christmas traditions, but many families wonder why.
A popular origin(起源) tale starts with none other than St. Nicholas, who was thought to be the original Father Christmas. In the third and fourth centuries, St. Nicholas was a Christian bishop in modern-day Turkey who made helping others his life purpose, and he caught wind of a family in need.
As the story goes, a single father was raising three daughters but realized he didn’t have enough money to pay for their dowries(嫁妆), without which they couldn’t get married. As a poor man, the father wouldn’t be able to support his daughters for long.
St. Nicholas heard of the family’s trouble but knew they were too proud to accept handouts. To make sure they didn’t refuse his generosity(慷慨), he anonymously sent them gold at night. Some people say he dropped gold down the chimney, and the gifts landed in the stockings that were laid by the fire to dry, while others say St. Nicholas himself climbed down from the chimney. Someone --- either the father or the daughters, depending on the tale--- caught St. Nicholas in the act and thanked him for his help. The gifts were enough for the daughters to marry and live happily ever after.
St. Nicholas’ feast day was on December 6, and finally, the tradition of leaving gifts in stockings was paired up with Christmas celebrations.
Some other scientists say the stocking tradition might have started even before Christianity in Scandinavian cultures. The Norse god Odin was said to come during Yule, riding on an eight-legged horse. Children would leave sugar and carrots in their shoes to feed the horse, and Odin would leave them gifts in return.
We’ll never know for sure the true origin of the stocking tradition, but stockings have a strong foothold in Christmas tradition. The gift-giving origins show generosity and kindness as long as you’re on St. Nicholas’ nice list, of course.
【1】Why did St. Nicholas decide to help the family?
A.The father raised three daughters. B.The family had no money to support themselves.
C.The daughters couldn’t get married. D.The father wasn’t willing to pay for the dowries.
【2】What does the underlined word “anonymously” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Honestly. B.Simply. C.Secretly. D.Immediately.
【3】What do the two stories about St. Nicholas have in common?
A.St. Nicholas met the family on purpose.
B.St. Nicholas hid the gold in the stockings.
C.St. Nicholas placed the girls’ stockings beside the fire.
D.St. Nicholas wanted to help the family through the chimney.
【4】What can be learnt from the last paragraph?
A.Children were rewarded for their kindness.
B.Children hung up their shoes to beg for gifts.
C.People hung up stockings in memory of Odin.
D.Scandinavian cultures valued the stocking tradition.

Some caterpillars’ warning signals (信号) may have evolved (进化) from walking. A team, writing in the journal Nature Communications, reported that the hair-like structures the living things use to make sounds evolved from legs.

The team studied caterpillars which use these structures to communicate their ownership of leaves. This means the caterpillars are able to “tell” strangers to go away without risking injury in fighting. “These are really interesting caterpillars,” said Dr. Jayne Yack from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, who led the research. “They make signals using hair-like structures which are on their back ends.”
The caterpillars drag these structures across the leaf to make scraping (刺耳的) sounds when strangers enter the area of their leaves. “When they make this signal, the strangers leave,” explained Dr. Yack. “It’s like saying ‘I’m here, get out of here — I already own this leaf’.”
The scientists looked at other species (物种) within the same group of caterpillars and created their “family tree”. They used chemical markers (标记物) to work out the relationship between the animals, showing which in the group were the more ancient species and which species evolved more recently. “Those more ancient species actually don’t have these sound-producing structures. They have legs that they use to walk towards strangers,” said Dr. Yack. These more ancient species, she explained, walk towards strangers and try to fight against them. “They can kill each other in the fighting,” Dr. Yack added. She said that the evolution of the scraping show had allowed the caterpillars to solve their fighting without injury. “So our idea is that these signals actually avoid harm to both sides — they solve fighting in a more ‘friendly’ way.”
The study also provides a map of an evolutionary process that many other biologists are researching.
【1】What can we learn about caterpillars’ warning structures from the text?
A.They have the same use as hair.
B.They are found in caterpillars’ heads.
C.They are used to fight against strangers.
D.They may have evolved from caterpillars’ legs.
【2】According to the text, Dr. Yack’s team did NOT ________.
A.draw a family tree of caterpillars
B.create a map to show how caterpillars evolve
C.study species within the same group of caterpillars
D.make clear the relationship between different species of caterpillars
【3】What does the underlined word “They” in the fifth paragraph refer to?
A.The ancient species. B.The chemical markers.
C.The sound-producing structures. D.The more recently evolved species.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.How caterpillars evolved.
B.How caterpillars warn strangers.
C.Communication between caterpillars.
D.Caterpillars’ warning signals evolved from walking.

We know it’s good to learn another language. It opens doors, makes you more employable, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun, too. But to improve our linguistic(语言)skills, many of us have to stand hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.
There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to cash in on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available— including our own, free, BBC Learning English app!
Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon— lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom.
Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments. But they’re not perfect— you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the peer support you get in a classroom environment.
So, does technology take the place of the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He told the BBC that apps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to remove traditional teaching. And he adds: “The apps are not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”
Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more involved.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Smart phones must be used in language classes.
B.Everyone has to bear to stay in classrooms all day.
C.Learning another language helps improve technology.
D.Language learners have more chances to be employed.
【2】What can you do by learning on apps?
A.Studying on your own schedule.
B.Learning all the popular languages.
C.Becoming a master of grammar easily.
D.Having many classmates to study together.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Technology will replace teachers.
B.We use technology to teach better.
C.Real teachers and lessons get us more involved.
D.Apps should be popularized in all different classes.
【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.The Way to Learn with Apps.
B.The Advantages of Learning with Apps
C.The Choice of Apps or Classroom Learning.
D.The Importance of Learning another language.

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.
【1】In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? “ 【2】“ says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. 【3】
So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. 【4】From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. 【5】Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
A.We take in more energy and fat.
B.Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.
C.Our ancestors were used to poor food, clothing and shelter.
D.So the very thing that once saved us, may now be killing us.
E.Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the major one.
F.The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid.
G.Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit.
