How are you feeling today? Often when we ask people that question, they reply "not bad", or "could be worse". But what would make us feel "perfect"? Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed and more motivated. But how? Of course there are many ways to improve our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to help improve our well being. It's something the BBC TV program Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It suggested several "health packs" which the program presenters tried and gave their "seal of approval". And maybe they could help us too. Firstly, to avoid putting on weight and to cut the calories, the program found sniffing(嗅)peppermint stops our desire for a snack. Presenter, chef and writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says "a scientific theory called mutual competition shows that a strong smell can distract our brain from the food we're thinking about." If your addiction to your smart-phone is getting you down, it's suggested that turning your phone screen gray helps you reduce screen time because a black and white screen becomes less attractive to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and increase our stress, it seems like a no-brainer to try this "dim(暗)" idea. Fancy a swim in ice-cold water? Well, the BBC program found a daily dip in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to "chill out" is to leave your smart-phone at home, immerse yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect medicine for the stresses of urban life. Other life-improving ideas included things such as singing to reduce pain and moving your body more to get away from our inactive lives. But whatever therapy we choose to adopt, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind. 【1】Peppermint can prevent us from a desire for food because . A.it has high calories B.it has a strong smell C.it can make us gain weight D.it causes damage to our brain 【2】A gray phone screen can make us ________. A.more stressful B.addicted to phones C.use phones less D.less attractive 【3】What's the passage mainly about? A.Focus of a TV program. B.Ways to live a better life. C.Importance of a healthy life. D.Reasons for changing our lifestyle.

Choice of seating in the lecture hall can affect a college student's performance, a study suggests. Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined students’ reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall and investigated how seating positions are connected with student performance. Many students preferred being able to sit with their friends, while others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention. Some students chose seats that allowed them to see and hear clearly, while others picked seats that made them feel less anxious, researchers said. Friendship groups who sat together tended to achieve similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges tended to do worse than average. Some professors have observed that the front row remains prime sitting position typically held by outgoing scholarly students and the more prepared and personable students sit in front rows. Students in the front almost always score higher on exams. According to a study published in 2013, GPAs decreased by 0.1 point on a four-point scale for every row further back students sit. Still, some students prefer the middle rows, which may be one of the worst decisions a student can make. In a classroom setting, a speaker's eyes tend to go to the front of the room and the back. They don't look at the centre of a room as often or with the same amount of attention. If neither the front nor middle is suitable for a student, there can only be one other solution: the back, where many distractions occur without teachers knowing about it. Row placement is not the only critical decision students face when choosing a seat. The position of the seat within the row is equally important. Like being on an airplane or at church, the aisle(过道) usually gets taken first as it provides the most legroom and easiest escape route when students decide to duck out of class. Students who are late the first day usually end up with middle seats, so punctuality is a good strategy for those seeking the aisle. 【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Students' seat preferences vary. B.Most seats make students anxious. C.Average students choose to sit alone. D.Friendship contributes to bad grades. 【2】Which position of the following is the favorite of students active in study? A. B. C. D. 【3】What does the underlined phrase "duck out of" in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Apply for. B.Put off. C.Keep up with. D.Drop out of.

All over the globe and in some of the world's most prestigious art galleries and museums there is always one form of artwork that you'll find gracing the walls-watercolors. Creating artwork using watercolors is one of the most popular ways of capturing beautiful scenery, painting life-like portraits and studying still-life objects. However, an unfortunate side effect of using watercolors is that they begin to fade over time, and as the years go by there is a risk of these masterpieces being lost to us forever. But just how do we prevent these wonderful paintings from disappearing? Well, thanks to the advances of modern technology, we now have the ability to scan watercolors, capturing every detail of them in the process and then saving them in a digital form. Not only does this help to preserve the artwork in a very modern way, but when these digital captures are uploaded to a website, it offers the public more chances to appreciate them. One such website is Water colour World, which is one of the many organizations supported by Javad Marandi, one of the Joint Chairs of the Marendi Foundation which helps to provide opportunities in education, and supports some of the most vulnerable communities in the United Kingdom, as well as art and cultural initiatives. Scanning watercolors is certainly a lot more advanced than the usual scanning you might be more familiar with. Keeping the liveliness of the painting, the depths of the colors requires the correct equipment, software and a great eye for detail. If you're an artist and you'd like to digitize (数字化) your watercolors through scanning, or if you're generally interested in how it's achieved, we've broken down the process below to give you a better idea of how art is transformed from paint to pixels (像素)! 【1】What is the disadvantage of watercolor paintings? A.They are easy to be stolen. B.They can't last a long term. C.They make people unfortunate. D.They are only about natural scenery. 【2】How can we make digital scanned water colors more available to people? A.By capturing every detail. B.By educating community citizens. C.By moving them to a website. D.By supporting more organizations. 【3】What can he inferred about scanning watercolors according to Paragraph 3? A.It is quite demanding. B.It helps to preserve the artwork. C.It is simpler than usual scanning. D.It is invented by Watercolor World. 【4】What will be probably mentioned in the following paragraph? A.How watercolors are digitized. B.Why paints need to be transformed. C.How the idea of scanning came into being. D.What watercolors will become through scanning.

From talking robots and video phones to rovers(探测器) on Mars, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis.【1】 Why can't we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh University in the UK, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that are produced by the rhino-viruses (鼻病毒).【2】A single cure isn't likely to work on every type of cold. However, researches from Stanford University and the University of California have found a possible answer. 【3】Without it, they can't spread inside your body. Researchers used a gene-editing technique to test human genes and found that all the viruses were unable to replicate(复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein. Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein.【4】"Lacking that gene protected the mice complete from viral infection." associate professor Jan Carette from Standford told the BBC. Carette said the plan is to find a drug that can temporarily stop the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans. "We have identified a fantastic target that all rhino-viruses require and depend on.【5】This is a really good first step - the second step is to have a chemical that copies this genetic deletion," he added. A.Everything seems to be possible. B.There are at least 160 types of them. C.But we still have no cure for the common cold. D.They discovered a protein that the viruses need. E.Take that away and viruses really have no chance. F.The mice were able to live a healthy life without it. G.The result was unexpected and made them frustrated.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有运动家品格的人)respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games. On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect. They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees. Kids usually learn sportsmanship-good and bad-from the adults in their lives. Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow. If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field. Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways. Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team. Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life! If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom. Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace. So be a good sport in whatever you do! The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others. When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.
