One of his few possessions, thesleeping bag he used in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen.Remembering how angered he’d been by his own loss, he resolved toreturn the purse to its owner.Hebegan right away, starting with the address on the bill found in thehandbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching theaddress on the bill, he was stopped by a woman, who asked whether shecould buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for itsowner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “That’s mypurse.”Amonth earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for amedical device company, had woken up to find her apartment brokeninto and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-lookingman holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasn’t in goodshape.AtSmith’s urging, McCoy told her his story. He’d been in charge ofa landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left himaddicted to drugs.Smith,amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return herbag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “I’ma drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I don’t want to intrude on yourlife; I’m probably gonna let you down.”Unafraid,Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go torehab(戒毒所),call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left,thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call.Smithrealized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug intoher savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. Whilethere, he would call her to let her know how he was doing. “We weregetting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared, desperatevoice turned into a healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehabprogram at Johns Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at aresidential recovery center in Baltimore, and a GoFundMepage set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, andincidentals.

Unfortunately, this seems to place severelimitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.Onelimitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits.Art museums are often called “treasure houses”. We are remindedof this even before we view a collection by the presence of securityguards who keep us away from the exhibits. In addition, a majorcollection like that of London’s National Gallery is housed innumerous rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worthmore than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judgesthesingle piece of work is likely to be worthmore than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judgesthe personal status of the individual so much by their materialworth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one’s ownrelative “worthlessness” in such an environment.Furthermore,consideration of the “value” of the original work in its treasurehouse setting impresses upon the viewer that since these works wereoriginally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms ofmoney by some person or institution more powerful than themselves.Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alterthat value, and so today’s viewer is discouraged from trying toextend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind ofinterpretation which would originally have met the work.Thevisitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such avariety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in anenvironment for which they were not originally created. This“displacement effect” is further heightened by the huge volume ofexhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably moreworks on display than we could realistically view in weeks or evenmonths.Thisis particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factorin the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental differencebetween paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribedtime over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems areread in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clearplace at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus artworks themselves encourage us to view them superficially, withoutappreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved.Consequently,the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, aspecialized academic approach devoted to “discovering the meaning”of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmonywith the museum’s function, since the approach is dedicated toseeking out and conserving “authentic”, “original” readingsof the exhibits.63.The writer mentions London’s National Gallery to illustrate ______.A.the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection ofartB.the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artisticvaluesC.the negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinion ofthemselvesD.the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artisticschemes64.The writer says that today viewers may be unwilling to criticize awork because they ______.ck the knowledge neededB.fear it may have financial implicationsC.have no real concept of the work’s valueD.feel their personal reaction is of no significance65.The writer says that unlike other forms of art, the appreciation of apainting does not ______.A.involve direct contact with an audienceB.require a specific location for performanceC.need the involvement of other professionalsD.call for a specific beginning or ending66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Original work: killer of artistic appreciationB.Original work: reduction to value of art worksC.Original work: substitute for reproductionD.Original work: art historians’ bread and butterSectionCDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two moresentences than you need.A.Heart failure can by all means be cured by Vitamin D3.B.Changes in heart function were measured by ultrasound.C.In the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiacfunction.D.Participants were asked to take vitamin D3 or a placebo tablet forone year.E.Sunscreen will prevent people from absorbing more Vitamin D3 to agreat extent.F.The finding could make a significant difference to the care ofheart failure patients.VitaminD3 Improve Heart FunctionAdaily dose of vitamin D3 improves heart function in people with heartfailure, a five-year University of Leeds research project has found.Dr.Klaus Witte, from the School of Medicine and Consultant Cardiologistat Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, led the study. He said: “Thisis a significant breakthrough for patients. It is the first evidencethat vitamin D3 can improve heart function of people with heartmuscle weakness –known as heart failure.” __67__VitaminD3 can be boosted by exposure to sunlight, but heart failure patientsare often deficient in it even during the summer because older peoplemake less vitamin D3 in response to sunlight than younger people.Vitamin D3 production in the skin is also reduced by sunscreen.Thestudy, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, involvedmore than 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated fortheir heart failure using proven treatments including beta —blockers, ACE-inhibitors and pacemakers. __68__ Those patients whotook vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function whichwas not seen in those who took a placebo.__69__Heart specialists measure heart function by taking an ultrasound scanof the heart and measuring how much blood pumps from the heart witheach heartbeat, known as ejection fraction. The ejection fraction ofa healthy person is usually between 60% and 70%. In heart failurepatients, the ejection fraction is often significantly impaired —in the patients enrolled into the study the average ejection fractionwas 26%.Inthe 80 patients who took Vitamin D3, the heart’s pumping functionimproved from 26% to 34%. __70__ This means that for some heartdisease patients, taking vitamin D3 regularly may lessen the need forthem to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD), a device which detects dangerous irregular heart rhythms andcan shock the heart to restore a normal rhythm.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own wordsas far as possible.SocialMedia and Teens’ AnxietyFromcyber-bullying to cruel comments, social media can be a land mine forkids. Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for manyteens. With kids’ digital well-being a concern, researchers areexploring potential links between social media and the rise in teensuicide rates, tech addiction, and loss of real-life social skills.Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to haveanxiety?It’sa question that worried parents. Some research has observed arelationship between social media use and anxiety in kids, but it’sdifficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whetherkids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support.How kids use social media matters, too. Social comparison andfeedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressivesymptoms, which often co-occur with anxiety.Howcan parents keep social media a positive for kids?1.Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t invite youto can really be upsetting. If your kid is tired of digital drama,suggest they take a break from social media for a while. In fact, ifthey post a status update that they’re taking a break, theirfriends might be very accepting because they’ve had similarfeelings.2.People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect — not thehomework struggles, or the fight they had with their dad. Remind kidsthat social media leaves the messy stuff out — and that everyonehas ups and downs.3.In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking atWechat, it’s doubly important for them to feel as though they’recultivating their inner lives. Prompt them to balance social mediawith soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies, exercise, reading,and helping others. Otherwise, what are they going to show off abouton social media?V.TranslationDirections:Translatethe following sentences into English, using the words given in thebrackets.72．艺术节开幕式上学⽣的演出真是太棒了！（performance）73．图书管理员提醒新⽣，杂志阅毕要放回原处。

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the samemessage were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifullydesigned – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanationon the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said:“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shoppingit was awebsite like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly youwanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytimehad become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was muchcheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but itwas registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find someinteresting facts, though.

By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information andlooking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleepat his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stotrouble.” Chris smiled.

Tasks that oncerequired a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on yourscreen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violatingcertain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office managerfrom White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terribleone-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few where. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to expresstheir distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friendshave their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings thathave their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguousclues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easilyunderstand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness ofly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up athe body language,” Ivory said, “People immediatefeeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32.

Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C.

Everyone is supposed to put books back to the shelves when the closing bell is sounded.Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?5.M: Wasn’t the show any good?W: The show is good, but I could hardly see the stage from my seat.Q: What does the woman mean?6.M: Do you have your break, lunch and dinner at the cafeteria?W: I have lunch and dinner there, but I always skip breakfast.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?7.M: Are you going to put the seeds of tomatoes into the soil, too?W: I think there is plenty of space to the right of the cucumbers.Q: What are the speakers most probably doing?8.M: The Morson C ompany turned down my application.

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question youhave heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more.Questions:11.According to the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3?12.What does the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income?13.What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:14.For the local family in need of help, what did they get?15.According to the speaker, what should the school do?16.What does the speaker think of the town of Tivaton?Section CDirections:In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.M: Shirley, I am working on a class diary for next week. Would you please give me the information?W: Sure. First it’s the dead line for after class activity application. The dead line is next Monday, June 14th.M: Monday, June 14th.W: Yes. Then on Wednesday, that’s the 16th, all classmates have to hand in three student photos.M: Three student photos.W: OK. Next is the basketball club meeting.

And where will they meet?W: At the stadium.M: And what time?W: From 12:45 to 1:30 p.m.M: Right.W: Then the last thing is about filling in a form with up-to-date personal data. Our class needs to go to the computer room during the morning break on the 18th.M: OK. The morning break on the 18th.W: Oh, wait a minute! I made a mistake.

AWhy don’t quiet carriages work, and how might they be make to? Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one silly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.Microeconomics suggests another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surelydissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengers－in effect, creating a market for silence. A simple idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who don’t value a peaceful ride.Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, as attitudes to noise canchange during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silent－a rating system among fellow passengers, for example－could help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”－feelings about how everyone should behave－also play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.1. According to the passage, what does microeconomics suggest?A. Finding the source of noise.B. Putting a price on noise.C. Avoid using a phone in the carriage.D. Investing more money in monitoring and enforcement.2. By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means ________.A. one can make his own choiceB. one should respect others’ privacyC. one can create his own personal spaceD. one should stick to his personal budget3. This passage is mainly about ________.A. people’s favoured transportationB. effective methods of monitoring noise levelsC. possible solutions to noise in train carriagesD. common forms of misbehavior of passengersBThe great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91.awa was one of the more She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizthan 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. n Italked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a da Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word toso often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawaher grandmother’s phone every day. They alwill need for the Olympics. “Welcome t o Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that shewanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. Itjoy now.”The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japanranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing asyounger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unlessJapanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the gamesbegin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.4. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A. Because English was useless.B. Because she was too young to learn English.C. Because English was forbidden to learn.D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.5. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.B. Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.ish teacher.C.

The early bird catches the worm.D. Two heads are better than one.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to doless well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide programcalled “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children intopre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the resultshave been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three werealready behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. Atthe end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as thechild,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the mosteffective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age andfamily structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parentsand the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children inthe program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skillsthan their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or familystructure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality ofparent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a sim focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates thatit will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8. What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A. The large number of poor families.B. The disapproval from children.C. The late start of the program.D. The long period of time.9. What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A. It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B. It helped the children return to the same home.C. It made the children improved in many aspects.D. It gave the parents advice on their development.10. According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A. The number of family members.B. The parent-child communication.C. The intelligence of their parents.D. The teacher-student relationship.11. How does the author develop the passage ?A. By listing figures.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By drawing conclusions.DWe’ve all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you knowdisagrees with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, theFacebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your writtenwords will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new researchsuggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California,Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder’s study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch,listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge thecharacter of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder’s team found that the part who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when theyread that communicator’s same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech thatwas printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard theexact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward thepolitician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, thepolitician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a fewvince that boss ordoors down to their office. And that’s exactly what you should do if you need to concolleague of why your blueprint for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over socialshort attention make arguing your point anmedia. Twitter’s limited text allowance and social media users’ uphill battle.12. What’s the result of the research?A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.B. People prefer to communicate with key board.C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D. Oral, not written, communication works better.13. Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph3?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D. To introduce the politician’s speech.14. What does the underlined word “idiotic’’in paragraph 3 mean?A. Wise.B. Practical.C. Silly.D. Special.15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B. It’s difficult to fully explain your points due to social media’s limitation.C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)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。

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Every year in the U.S. about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste. A lot of it is fruits and vegetables, like three legged carrots, and fought strawberries. They are deserted simply because they are not pretty enough to bed is played on store shelves. If you look at the big picture, about a third of the planet's food goes to waste for the same reason.That's enough to feed 2 billion people. Now, a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change that situation. The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and sells them to local residents at a deep discount. It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price. Similar campaigns are underway in places like Boston, as well as Portugal and the UK.For now, most chain supermarkets don't carry ugly fruits and vegetables. But Steve Clark's of Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food. He says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the same kind of taste and health.Now listen again.Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.A city in England has started an ambitious plan to plant as many as 1 million trees every year for the next decade. The project is called the City of Trees. Project director Tony Brown explained that the green venture has three main aims. He said, One is to plant a tree for every man, woman, and child over the next decade. Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because it doesn't make any sense to plant new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already.Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting trees in managing areas. And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society, Mr. Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched environmental project. He said our city wants to be a world class region. We have a lot of fantastic economic development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that.He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world, provide benefits to health and reduce stress. He said “woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns reduce the urban heat island effec t and flooding”.

Endless homework and exams seem to be a heavy burden and take away the happiness during puberty. However, if they are able to manage their time well, things will be different. Time management is a skill that few teenagers have. But it is the one that most teenagers need. Although time can’t be slowed down or sped up or manufactured, teenagers can manage it by themselves. Here are some basic ways oftime management, first, teenagers can find out the “Best Time” for study. A person usually has different power of concentration at different times. Someone might find himself a “morning person” while others might be “ night owls”. So it will be more efficient for a teenager to use his “ best time” for study and other time for routines such as baths or chores. Second, teenagers can study difficult subjects first. The more difficult a subject is , the more effort and energy it will require. When difficult subjects are finished it will be much easier to finish the simple ones. Third, teenagers can make time for entertainment, entertainment helps teenagers reduce their anxiety and stress, which will in turn improve their study. 1, What are two of the ways of time management for teenagers?First, to find out the best time for study. Second ,to study difficult subjects first. / They can study difficult subjects first and make time for entertainment. / Teenagers can find out the best time for study and make time for entertainment.2, What do you often do for entertainment?on weekdays, I often do some reading for entertainment.
