5、Tips on buying outdoor solar lights

As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets. Here are some helpful tips for customers.

Does your area receive enough direct lighting?

①So you shouldn’t even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn’t get much sunlight. These lig hts need direct sunlight, or they just won’t work very well.

②

The expensive one usually means good quality. Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems. For once, it’s best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. ③ At least you should know the difference between a $ 10 light and a $ 45 light.

Buy lights that require less installation(安装) .

Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground. Therefore, you shouldn’t deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that. ④You don’t need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that’s just a waste of time.

Make sure the lights can store enough energy.

Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy. ⑤ Therefore, you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more, at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.

A. Without sunlight, solar lighting is useless.

B. Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two.

C. It means some will stay lit longer than the others.

D. Choose something a bit more expensive for once.

E. Solar lights are becoming more and more popular.

F. That doesn’t mea n you have to spend all your money.

G. They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground.

6 、For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from

school. Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

The disease, known as " March Madness" , refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament (联赛). Teams compete againsteach other in a single-elimination (单局均汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.

Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners of every game. Friends compete against friends. Colleagues gainst bosses.

Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from litde-known universities.

This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.

College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌博) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the

post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.

A.The players will go all out for the games.

B.Husbands against wives.

C.But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.

D.College students will ignore piles of homework.

E.It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.

F.People are willing to spend more money on watching it.

G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

7、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. ① Read on for some tips worth trying.

1. ②

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease(早老性痴呆症),according to a recent study. ③ Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk

Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. ④

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation(刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. ⑤ or go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

8、Why you shouldn’t punish your kids for lying

Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. ①__________ The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. ②__________ Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.

PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: ③__________ and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”

MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. ④__________ Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.

⑤__________ Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.

A. It is not what that is, but about practice.

B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.

C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.

D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”

E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.

F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what I’d like to know!”

G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
