Flowers bloom (开花) only if they are planted in rich soil (土壤). We are similarly influenced by our environment. When our environment is bad, we may get sick physically or mentally. When our environment is supportive, we are more likely to thrive. Which factor (因素) of the environment influences us most? The answer is surprising. It's not the air we breathe every minute, nor the water we drink every hour; it's the people who we relate to every day. Every day we have connections with a lot of people in different situations. Some bring us happiness and provide us with loving support. Others bring us down and make us feel worthless. I have no doubt that one of the main keys to success is the people we know. It's nice to have people in your life who encourage you to better yourself, and who support you in your effort to make yourself a better person. People whose hearts are big enough to be happy for your success, rather than those who are so proud that they always want to compete with you for success. People who see the potential (潜力) in you, even when you can't see it in yourself. These are the people who you should have on your team and in your life. So if you really long for success, look back at the people who come in and out of your life. Are most of the people you know supportive or unsupportive? When people around you aren't supportive, what kind of person do you become? Do you become shy, fearful, hateful and unhappy? When you connect with those who are supportive, what happens to you? Do you become open, lively, happy, strong and brave? Taylor loves music, and her dream is to become a singer one day. Whenever she talks about her big dream, none of her friends ever give her a fist bump (碰拳) to encourage her. Taylor always complains that her friends are not supportive enough but walking away from them leaves her in loneliness. She has no better choice but to keep hanging out with them. However, the more time she spends with them, the worse she feels about herself. We can all make a mindful decision about the environment around us. Relate more to those who make you happy being "you", or who support you in being "you". If you have to be around those who aren't supportive, then simply accept them as they are, without going after them for more than what they can provide to you. After all, each person has a seed (种子) in them to be the beautiful and awesome person they want to be. All they're waiting for is that supportive soil to allow them to fully bloom. 【1】The word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”. A.develop and grow B.judge and warn C.mind and care D.fail and fear 【2】The writer mentions the five questions in Paragraph 4 to show that _______. A.some people always support what we do, some don't B.we are included in a certain circle of friends C.some people give us a sense of success D.we are influenced by people around us 【3】According to the passage, what could probably help make Taylor's dream come true? A.She needs to get a fist bump from her friends. B.She needs to keep hanging out with her friends. C.She needs to walk away from her unsupportive friends. D.She needs to continue talking about her dream with her friends. 【4】What does the passage mainly talk about? A.Saying no to unsupportive people. B.Letting the seed in you bloom. C.People around you could shape you. D.Influence of natural environment.

Since 2005, office workers in Japan have been allowed to wear T-shirts and shorts to work, instead of business suits and ties. Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to reduce the use of air conditioners. Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great deal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming. But it is a vicious (恶性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be more need for air conditioning. Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge problem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. It’s very dangerous.” We can’t live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we can’t live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffer from certain health problems and have a lower productivity. For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 28 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy. They couldn’t give all their attention to work and their productivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, it’s not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler. “The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summer —21C— feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europeans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer. Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable. 【1】What did the Japanese government do to reduce the use of air conditioners? A. To allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work. B. To stop the workers from using air conditioners. C. To let people accept a bit more heat in summer. D. To ask people to open windows to let air in. 【2】The writer probably agrees that ______. A. most people will be sick without air conditioners B. global warming is mainly caused by air conditioners C. people have to be used to living without air conditioners D. we should change our expectations to protect environment 【3】We can learn from the passage that ______. A. Japanese office workers are less productive in summer B. Americans care less about environment than Europeans C. People in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerous D. Europeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer 【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Protect Environment: Is it time to change business suits? B. Protect Environment: Is it time to focus on temperature? C. Protect Environment: Shall we change our expectations? D. Protect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?

During this age of technology, life moves fast and people only focus on what comes next, rather than living in the present. Often their daydreaming is centered on the "next" rather than the "now." Technology is all about what's next-the next innovation (创新）,the next platform or the next device. This is most obvious with the iPhone. The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone. I am already counting the days until I can upgrade my iPhone. Throughout my adolescence (青春期), almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with the next "great" thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy. Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends. Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year (高二), I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen. By concentrating on what's next, I seem to be missing what's great about high school. Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step. Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates (候选人) for college. What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life. Most colleges have specialized schools, such as business, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools. Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what's next. When I go to college, all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of college. Everyone around seems to be like me. Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the "now" as important, if not more important, than the "next" in life. Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained (根深蒂固的) into important things of life, such as technology and education. If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry; no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur (模糊). 【1】The writer mentions the iPhone in Paragraph 2 to show that . A. the newest iPhone is always the best B. young customers like new technology C. the iPhone X attracts the most attention D. technology is all about what comes next 【2】What can we learn from the passage? A. High schoolers are forced to have clear ideas about their future jobs. B. Few students pay close attention to the teacher to score high on tests. C. Thinking too much about the present gives students too much pressure. D. Different activities make the students stronger candidates for the college. 【3】The writer probably agrees that . A. students now care too much about unimportant things in life B. future achievements depend on your plan in your high school C. college education usually makes a great difference to most of the people D. people should live in the "now" rather than only look ahead to the "next" 【4】Which of the following would he the best title for the passage? A. Future, in Our Eyes B. Now, in a World of Next C. Past, Now and Future D. Technology, a Key to Future

Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t【1】? It’s a question that more people are asking. In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m【2】 it’s the language of government business and the media（媒体）. And it’s also the language that is used in schools. Shanghai is a special city. It is modern fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. “I love riding on the b【3】 and listening to people speaking Shanghaihua.”Miss Evans, an American reporter said.“I don’t understand a word they are saying but I like the s【4】 of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things “ renao ”（热闹）so even a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a【5】 interesting.” Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under more and more pressure（压力）to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l【6】 often in everyday life. Some people want to keep the language from d【7】 completely by building museums and having cultural festivals to save it. But a language isn’t a painting or a book. It’s a living thing and you e【8】 use it or lose it. If people stop using it in their d【9】 lives, a museum or a festival will not h【10】. It will be lost forever like the Yangtze River dolphin.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no." or “we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings(人：生物). Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth. In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited Earth? "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. 【1】How many galaxies are there in the universe? _________________________________________________________________________ 【2】Which galaxy is Earth in? _________________________________________________________________________ 【3】What allows scientists to discover smaller planets? _________________________________________________________________________ 【4】Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? _________________________________________________________________________ 【5】What do you think of intelligent life on other planets in our universe? _________________________________________________________________________
