We live in a world where there are nearly 6,000 different languages, so it is very easy for you to get 16 when you are translating. In general, the 17 away from home you get, the stranger the languages around you become. But, have you ever noticed anything 18 among different languages?
Language studies have shown that the 19 for “mama” and “papa” around the world are surprisingly like each other. It was once believed that different languages shared something in common 20 several languages started to develop from one language. That was the origin（起源）of many languages spoken around Europe.
21 , this cannot explain why there are similarities too outside Europe, such as “nanay” and “tatay” in the Philippines which also 22 in some places in Guangdong, China. So what could 23 this similarity around the world?
Russian-American linguist（语言学家）Roman Jakobson shares 24 he has found out. Maybe he is 25 .
“If you’re a(n) 26 making your first sounds, the easi est will be ‘ah’ because you can make it 27 doing anything with your tongue（舌头）or lips（嘴唇）,” he said.
“M” and “n” are also created 28 by opening and closing the mouth, so these sounds often develop next. In a similar 29 , the sounds that are c losely related to “father”, like “p”, “d” and “t”, develop next. This could be the reason why, around the world, a child’s first words are often “ma” or “pa”, leading parents to be 30 “mama” and “papa”.

You don' t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change﹣and he's inviting bikers to join him.
Daan Roosgaarde，38，is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog （雾霾）Free Project，he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland，he designed a shining bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike﹣sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather，the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face.
It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter，it's common for thick clouds of haze （霾），caused largely by factory production，burning of coal and car emissions （排放物），to cover areas of China.
In 2016，only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards，according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
"Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem，" Daan said，"But smog﹣free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities. "

Housework is an endless argument between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women are warned not to expect men to share housework any time soon.
A study from Oxford University has found it seems impossible for men to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers will continue to shoulder the burden(负担) of childcare and housework for the next forty years, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still thought of to be “women’s work”.
The gap(鸿沟) has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. Women expect true equality(平等). But what makes them down is that it will take another forty years before it is achieved.
The research found that in the northern Europe, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, a woman spends around four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically(典型地) spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader, said, “we’ve looked at what is influencin g the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’. ”
Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes(态度) taught at school may decide the views of housework. “At sc hool it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy cooking and dancing,” she said.
42. The underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. the research
B. true housework
C. true equality
D. the gap
43. From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK _______.
A. men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average
B. women now are too busy with their work to do housework
C. women now spend less time on housework than before
D. housework is shared equally between men and women
44. _____________ is mentioned in the last two paragraphs(段) of the article.
A. What men think of housework
B. How much housework women spend on housework
C. What influences people’s view of housework
D. Why men should share housework
45. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Argument about housework between husbands and wives will end.
B. Women will be doing more housework than men until 2050.
C. Men are unable to help their wives with housework.
D. Women spend less time on housework while men spend more than before.

书面表达：
Poor eyesight is a serious problem among the youth of our country. It’s amazing that the situation is going from bad to worse. It is time that we take the problem seriously.
At present, more and more students wear glasses, over 70 % of the middle school students have
poor eyesight. Both parents and teachers are worried about it.
Here are some main causes. First, some students spend too much time reading or doing their homework without a rest. Second, some students even like to watch TV or use computers for a long time. Third, some students may not have enough sleep.
In order to have good eyesight, we should do eye exercises at least twice a day. We can also try to do more sports in our spare time. We had better eat healthy food. Of course, it is important to have a good habit of using our eyes. For example, we shouldn’t read in the sun or in bed.
I think all of us should understand the importance of protecting eyes and try our best to protect them.
