I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I found Chaffey College. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I havehad great rewards. My daughter had written a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why. She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to college. I will never forget this.4．According to the passage, the author probably is a ________.A．teacher B．doctor C．father D．mother5．What made the author make up her mind to study English?A．What her son said.B．What her daughter said.C．Thinking about herself.D．Thinking about her daughter.6．How did they find Chaffey College?A．On the way to the movies.B．They took a new route and got lost.C．Ask a stranger for information.D．According to the banner.7．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The author came to the United States from another country.B．The author had two children including one daughter.C．What really changed the author’s life was that she believed in herself. D．The author wrote that she was the person her son most admired.Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people? Most people know what blue is when they see it. They call it "blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else s red?The ability to perceive (感知) different colours is up to receptors (接受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving.Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. The inability of thereceptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours.Those with more developed receptors can see more colours. We sometimes hear people having an argument about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to feel the light than another.In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red. Their brains automatically (自动地) got used to new colours. This suggests that our brains may adapt depending on our stimulus (刺激) and find new colors of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone.So, the next time you talk about your favourite colour, just remember if yours is blue and your friend says red, you two might actually be thinking about the same colour. What if everyone in the world has the same favourite colour, but just calls it different names?8．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How we perceive colours.B．The inability to see colours.C．What the brain does with signals.D．The connection between receptors and light waves.9．Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Some people cannot feel colours with their developed receptors.B．The more light people feel, the weaker receptors they have.C．People with poor receptors usually have colour weakness.D．People who have strong receptors can see dark blue.10．What’s the purpose of conducting the research on monkeys?A．To test the monkeys with colours.B．To develop the receptors of humans.C．To enable monkeys to find more colors.D．To prove everyone sees colours in a different way.11．Where does the text probably come from?A．A film review. B．A science magazine.C．An art magazine. D．A business newspaper.As teenagers grow up, it can be easy for some to form bad habits. To prevent harmful habits from dominating a teenager’s life is necessary. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make proper changes. To change bad habits isn’t easy, even with many tries.According to modern psychology(心理学)，we must first learn about the “habit cycle”， which works like this:Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to the cue. Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine. For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine) which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of depending on unhealthy snacks is formed.To help a positive change in our bad habits, we must first check our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by applying habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed(reward).Besides changing bad habits,we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits.For example,when we come to a lift (cue), our normal routine is to ride it,but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.Although changing bad habits takes time, yet by showing some self-control and taking many small steps repeatedly we will build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!12．Which word can best replace the underlined word “dominating” in paragraph 1? A．Benefiting.B．Controlling.C．Valuing.D．Recollecting.13．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．How “habit cycle” works.B．Why “habit cycle” should be carried out.C．What benefits “habit cycle” can bring to us.D．When and where “habit cycle” should be used.14．How can we changing our bad habits?A．By putting our own positive ideas into habit cycles.B．By checking our bad habit cycles and getting used to them.C．By listening to some favourite music and relaxing ourselves.D．By replacing a positive routine with something more negatives.15．Which is the right routine in the habit cycle when you feel stressed and want to get energetic?A．Eating much junk food.B．Staying up to watch football matches.C．Playing basketball with friends.D．Playing computer games for a long time.二、五选五Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV. 16 We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.17We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at leastthree or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.18 Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, 19 It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“Old habits die hard.”20A．So start exercising before it’s too late!B．And twenty percent do not exercise at all.C．but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.D．Here are the results.E．The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.三、单项选择21．—Tom, did you ever see _____ book that I bought with you last week?—No, but Dad saw____ book under the bed this morning.

Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.In her bestseller Thrive, Arianna wrote about our need to redefine success through wellbeing, wisdom, wonder, and giving.

She explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She decides the dangerous sleeping pill industry, and all the ways of our addiction to technology disturb our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep.In today’s fast-paced, always-connected and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important than ever.

Sustainability(可持续性), one of the biggest topics of the last decade, has become the ray of hope to protect the planet. It's a topic we can't ignore and we must act now in a more sustainable way.What does that mean for the world of technology? E-waste is one of the planet's biggest contributing waste problems.Not only e-waste, but the materials that go into tech products are part of the problem. Take the smartphone industry for example, dozens of metals, minerals which have to be taken from theearth(including 16 of 17 rare metals) go into making phones. And with demand for mobile phones bigger than ever, it's a problem that needs to be solved.With a challenge comes an opportunity, and there's already some progress happening - great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our tech. People used to turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand product, but there's been a huge increase in demand for refurbished tech(翻新技术). For example, refurbished smartphone sales in the US have risen by 28% in the last 12 months while brand new sales have fallen by 21%.Many communities are making an effort to deal with e-waste as well. Cities, schools, or churches will sometimes hold events to collect e-waste and send it to recycling centers. Some companies even offer buy-back programs where people will be given cash if they turn in old devices.So the next time you want to deal with your e-waste, whether a smartphone, a laptop, an MP4 player or other, consider the more environmentally-friendly choices.

So it might come as a surprise that one thing most people think should be kept away from art is what is bringing it back to life: bacteria.According to Popular Science, specialized microorganisms have been set loose on everything from centuries -old mural to oil paintings to massive cathedral walls, all in an effort to clean and restore the original glory of these pieces of cultural heritage.Recently, a team from the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development ( ENEA) and restoration cooperators were tasked with resolving the issueof human remains that were staining (弄脏) the Michelangelo- carved marble (大理石) in the Medici Chapel in Florence, Italy. Several members of the Medici family were buried there.Anna Rosa Sprocati, a biologist at the ENEA, chose eight of the most promising kinds of bacteria from a collection of about 1, 000 and tested them on the marble. The bacteria successfully removed the pollutants while leaving the marble unharmed.“Biocleaning”- using microorganisms to clean debris (残骸) from stonework and artwork- -was first used in the 1990s by Italian microbiologist Giancarlo Ranalli.A team was attempting to restore murals in Pisa, Italy. When the tomb was bombed in World War II, the remains of the artwork were removed using animal glue to keep the pieces together. According to Popular Science, after traditional methods of restoration failed, Ranalli said that the project lea der turned to him and asked: “But you, Dr Ranalli, can’t you do anything with your bugs? ”It turns out bacteria are perfect for this sort of task-but it’s important to select the right one. For Ranalli, it was Pseudomonas. It ate through the animal glue while leaving the original paints. In fact, Pseudomonas is used for more than just cleaning up artworks. Their favorite food sources happen to be the same kind of materials that are often found as pollutants, and scientists have grown different kinds of the bacteria to consume specific types of pollutants, Forbes reported.It is indeed the famous artists who create masterpieces, but it’s the bugs that keep them good for future generations to appreciate.1. What’s the aim of the team from the ENEA?A．To save the Michelangelo- -carved marble.B．To explore the history of the Medici family.C．To speed up the decay (腐烂) of human remains.D．To study the effects of bacteria on the human body.2. How do bacteria contribute to art restoration?A．By making colors brighter. B．By keeping the pieces together.C．By getting rid of pollutants. D．By producing a protective material.3. What are paragraphs. 5- -8 mainly about?A．The way the first artwork was restored. B．The benefits of “biocleaning”.C．The functions of Pseudomonas. D．The origin of “biocleaning”4. Which is the best title for the text?A．The history of art restoration B．A surprising approach to art restoration.C．Different methods of art preservation D．The importance of microorganisms5. Important Things to Know When Dining OutCultural dining manners might surprise you with some of its important rules. 1 Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family- -no matter where you are in the world.Chopstick Rules2 When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you. Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them.Hands or Utensils (餐具)In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. 3 preferring to use their hands instead. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons.Making RequestsIt may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal. In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don’t like their seasoning skills. 4Some of these cultural dining manners may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. 5 the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices.6.
