When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying. As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.

He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.
Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.

Maryland is expected to become the first state of the USA to ban foam (泡沫橡胶)food packaging, takeout containers and cups The new proposed law passed both of the state's legislative bodies (立法机关)this week with enough votes to override a potential rejection signed by Gov. Larry Hogan, who has not publicly signaled whether he supported the law or not. The law would become the latest in a growing effort worldwide to ban kinds of single-use plastic products, due to their impacts on the environment.
With the statewide previous ban effort, Maryland's two counties, Prince George and Montgomery, had already banned foam packaging. Del. Brooke Lierman, who introduced similar legislation last year and in 2017, says changing public opinion helped her third attempt succeed.
“I think we have reached a danger point,” she says. “People are seeing how common single-use plastics are, and that they are not recyclable and never going away. People are beginning to understand the importance of living more sustainably. "
The new law would ban foam food packaging for products packaged in-state, including restaurants, cafes, food trucks, and grocery stores. The final version of the bill includes exceptions, such as meat. The ban would go into force on July 1, 2020 and would carry fines of $ 250.
The legislation was opposed by the Maryland Retailers Association, which warned that outlawing foam packaging could hurt small businesses by higher costs. Foam packaging remains popular among restaurants and the food industry because it is lightweight, inexpensive, and keeps food and drinks hot.
Foam food containers have been banned in cities or counties in 11 states, including Seattle, Portland, Washington D. C. , San Francisco, and numerous other cities in California. A ban in New York City took effect at the beginning of this year after a long legal battle ended last summer.
【1】How did Maryland carry out the ban of foam food packaging?
A. By passing a new law.
B. By fining foam packaging users.
C. By closing some local companies.
D. By teaching people to focus on the environment.
【2】What does the underlined word “override" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Explain. B. Prove. C. Reject. D. Tolerate.
【3】What is the key to the third success according to Del. Brooke Lierman?
A. Learning from other cities. B. Getting medium's support.
C. Changing public opinion. D. Hurting small businesses.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A. Foam food packages will disappear in the world.
B. People in Maryland support the law absolutely.
C. Foam food packages haven't any advantage at all.
D. Meat will be allowed to be sold in foam food packages in America.

Taking at least twenty minutes out of your day to walk or sit in a place that makes you feel in contact with nature will significantly lower your stress hormone levels. That's the finding of a study that has established for the first time the most effective amount of an urban nature experience. Healthcare professionals can use this discovery to prescribe (开药) “nature-pills" in the knowledge that they have a real measurable effect
"We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says Dr. Hunter, a lead author of this research. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone, you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature.
To assist healthcare professionals looking for evidence-based guidelines on what exactly to distribute, Hunter and her colleagues designed an experiment that would give a realistic estimate of an effective amount.
Over an 8-week period, participants were asked to take a nature pill with a duration of 10 minutes or more, at least 3 times a week. Levels of stress hormone, were measured from saliva (唾液)samples taken before and after a nature pill, once every two weeks. The data revealed that just a twenty-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce stress levels.
Healthcare professionals can use our results as an evidence-based rule of thumb on what to put in a nature-pill prescription," said Hunter. "It provides the first estimates of how na- ture experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount."
【1】What's the great significance of the study?
A. It finds out a new way to release stress.
B. It can help doctors prescribe various pills
C. It makes it clear that exercise can help release stress.
D. It finds out the accurate amount of nature experience.
【2】How did Hunter get the finding?
A. By working with some doctors. B. By asking participants questions.
C. By carrying out an experiment. D. By comparing the previous data.
【3】What did Hunter think of the result of the study?
A. It has drawbacks. B. It's meaningful.
C. It's worth researching further. D. It needs more discussions.
【4】What's the main idea of the text?
A. Nature has close relationship with stress.
B. We should stay in nature to keep healthy.
C. We cannot get close to nature frequently.
D. Staying in nature for proper time will lower stress level.

Today, more and more English words find its way into the Chinese language. Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese included many English words. Some people support it and others do not.
Generally, I'm in the favor of the inclusion. As the number of English learners are increasing ,it's not difficult to understand these borrowing words in Chinese contexts. Beside, on some occasions, it is more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use "IT" instead its translation "xinxi jishu". In our globe village, we can see that it's uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. So I support the inclusion.
