If you hear the word“Castle” or the word“palace”，you may picture the same kind of building for both：large，made of stones，probably with a tower. And，of course，you're not entirely wrong，as those are features of both palaces and castles.

can find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings.

The Case for Castles

Castles were residences for royalty.But they were also intend as defensive seats. Say you're a king who has taken a particular area over.Now you have to hold it. castle and staff it with soldiers to defend your conquered territory and ensure it remains part of your kingdom.

Castles were built throughout Europe and the Middle East primarily for protection of the king and his people.Some common features of castles include：

●thick walls and heavy gates to keep invaders out

●protective low walls for archers to shoot with cover

●high towers for keeping a lookout over the surrounding

●gate houses for admitting allies instead of allowing enemies into

the castle

The Place for Palaces

Palaces， on the contrary， had no defensive purposes.They were first meant for showing off the great victory of the war.Palaces were where the spoils(战利品) of war might be displayed,along with grand architecture,massive banquet halls,golden table settings and maybe even hundreds of luxuriously decorated rooms.

While kings certainly took up residence in palaces as well as castles,nonmilitary royals might also have lived in (or still live in)palaces. Ministers could live in castles to show the power of their riches rather than their nonexistent military power. The term comes from Palatine Hill in Rome.

On the last Monday in May,people in the United States celebrate Memorial Day. This federal holiday honors members of the American military who died at war. Schools and government offices close. Most people in the US have this day off from work. People celebrate Memorial Day with outdoor parades.

Most Americans consider it the start of summer though the season really begins in June.With so many people off work, Memorial Day has also become a popular shopping day. However, on most occasions Memorial Day is a serious and even sorrowful holiday. Those who have lost family members at war visit burial sites to decorate the graves. They place flowers,

wreaths and US flags on the graves.

Memorial Day comes from a tradition that began after the US Civil War called Decoration Day. The Civil War was a very dark time in the US history.

Historians have long thought that about 620,000 soldiers died in the fighting. However, new research suggests that the dead numbered about 750,000.

In 1868, about 5,000 people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery on the edge of Washington, D. C. They decorated more than 10,000 graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. They called it Decoration Day. bone

The tradition spread to other areas of the country. In 1873,New York State called it Memorial Day and was the first to make it a legal-holiday. Other States allowed, but not all.Some southern states had (and-still have) separate celebrations that honor only dead Confederate soldiers.

After World War I ended in 1918, Memorial Day became a day to honor all American soldiers killed at war. In 1971,Congress passed a law making it an official federal holiday all over America.

The other day,I bought an expensive anti-aging cream that promised to make my face look several years younger that other women by fighting free radicals(自由基).It made me curious about what free radicals ares.Is the anti-aging cream the only way I need to protect myself?

“As a scientific term,free radicals are essentially unstable atoms,”says Arizona--based doctor, Natasha Bhuyan，M. D.“In medicine, they cause cells to break down over time and are linked to aging.”

A super simple chemistry review for you: Atoms from different elements are the building blocks that make up water, nitrogen and more. Electrons (电子) are the negatively charged atoms, and they like to be in pairs. When an electron loses its partner, it creates a free radical, which is usually unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals typically go through the body to seek out a replacement for their missing electron, and that can result in damage to cells,proteins and DNA.

So how do free radicals form and why do they happen? Bhuyan says,“Scientifically, free radicals are unpaired electrons that are seeking a mate to bond with. The theory behind free radicals is that they can lead to the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants (抗氧化剂).”

Another mini- science lesson for you: Antioxidants are natural or man made matters that can help delay or prevent some types of cell damage.They' re often found in fruits and vegetables.

A lot of the aspects of modern life —our diet, lifestyle and environmental factors like pollution, can cause oxidative stress. Over time, oxidative stress weakens cell and tissues and can leave you more easily to certain health issues including cancer.And,as beauty marketers are keenly aware,oxidative stress can also speed up the aging process. Now that your know free radicals can weak on your health,you're probably wondering if there are any ways to prevent them from forming or at least to minimize their negative effects.

12.What does the author intend to do in paragraph?

A. Explain the process of aging.

B. State the formation of free radicals,

C. Introduce the topic of free radicals.

D. Describe the harm of anti aging cream.

13. Which of the following do free radicals refer to?

A. Unpaired electrons.

B. Steady atoms.

C. Replacements of atoms.

D. Functions of electrons.

14. What can we learn about antioxidants from the text?

A. They have never been found in nature.

B. They do harm to cells, proteins and DNA.

C. They can slow down the damage of some cells.

D. They always keep balance with free radical.

15. What will the author probably tell us next?

A. What exactly oxidative stress is.

B. How beauty marketers promote sales.

C. Where a variety of diseases come from.

D. Whether free radicals can be prevented.

Keep positive. 16 Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, are more likely to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, have stronger immune systems and even live longer.

Once rainy spring day,Mom became a single mother. My little brother was two,my sister was eight，and I was fourteen.Those first weeks were especially hard before our small monthly support payments began.Mom found work in a potato-chip factory,but didn't get paid right away.

That first Saturday morning as she left for work,Mom said ,“I didn't get“I don't know what you'll cook for supper.I won't get paid until Monday ,but I'm out of money, and our shelves are bare.”She laughed,but tears filled her eyes.

“Don't that fairy tale have a happy ending?No,but we'll do better,”I said. “I'll ask Jesus to get us food today.”My words sounded brave even to myself.She shook her head and went to work.

I had planted a garden in our backyard.The lettuce(莴苣) and peas were up， but nothing was ready to eat.I looked through the kitchen and discovered Mom was right.We only had cereal(麦片) for our breakfast.

While my sister and brother played,I prayed and tidied the house.I was washing our front-room window when a cheery man in a blue shirt came over and rang the doorbell.Although I'd never seen him before， his big smile made me trust him.

When I opened the door，he asked“Have you heard about the new grocery

store a mile from here?Today is its grand opening.”

I nodded.I'd seen their signs as I rode past on the school bus.

“They're giving away gift coupon s(礼券) to celebrate.”He pulled three white cards from his shirt pocket and handed them to me.“The first is for a huge loaf of bread， the second is for a gallon of milk,and the third lets you choose a half-gallon of your favorite flavor of ice cream.”

Dear classmates,

I'm sorry to learn that many of us have spent too much time learning English on the Internet, which can obviously do ham to our bodies, especially eyesight. Thus, as the representative of English class, I want to offer some suggestions.

First, we can limit online studly time. Second, we should combine various forms of English learning. Online English learning should be combined with offline English learning. In fact, we have a lot of things to do, such as doing some written assignments and practising spoken English once in a while.

In short. let's study together healthily and effectively.

Yours, .

Paragraph 1:

I stared. “Really? There 's no purchase required?”“None at all. These are free. Go and see. ”I thanked him and went to the store with my brother and sister, where colorful balloons still announced the grand opening.We walked inside and showed our cards to the nearest clerk. “It says these are gift cards.”she said.“ These items are absolutely free. ”We could hardly believe it. We thanked God for caring and picked up the goods and left the store with broad smiles.

Paragraph 2:

When Mom returned, we had food on the table.“Where did you get this?”Mom asked.“I prayed,” said. And then I showed her the ice cream in the fridge. She had her eyes wide open.“ Where did all this come from?” I told her about the man who gave me the cards and the new grocery store as we had our meal. She shook her head again, this time with a sense of wonder. I could see tears of relief welled up her eyes.
