Have you ever thrown a camel?Camels are large and heavy animals,so it would be hard to throw.But in the French-speaking Democratic Republic of the Congo, "to throw a camel" is a way of saying "to make a spelling mistake".
In the past,a phrase like that was not accepted by the French government as an official French term.But recently,the French Ministry of Culture has worked on a new kind of dictionary that accepts the idea that many people outside of France speak the language.The language has changed over time and is different in places like Ivory Coast in West Africa or Quebec in Canada,compared to how it is in Paris.
A new online dictionary,called the French speakers' dictionary,includes new French words from around the world.It was released on March 18一just in time for International French Speaker's Day on March 20.
Supporters say the new Internet dictionary is more democratic than earlier French dictionaries that only showed the way highly educated French people spoke.The new dictionary includes unofficial words like "pourriel",which means an unwanted email if you are in Canada.It is a word based on "courriel",which just means an email.
French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea of the dictionary in 2018.It now contains about 600,000 terms.Roselyne Bachelot is the French Culture Minister.She said the dictionary is not just for France's 67 million citizens,but for the 300 million French speakers worldwide.
The aim,supporters say,is to recognize the way language changes.Words and expressions included in the dictionary come from over 50 countries—even from the United States.Some people in the southern U.S.state of Louisiana speak French.
People can see the dictionary on a website or with an app.Users can also send in new words they think should be included,Official dictionaries produced by the French Academy in Paris were first published hundreds of years ago and are regularly updated.
4. What do we mean if we say a man "throws a camel" in French? ______
A. He talks big. B. He makes n joke.
C. He misspells a word. D. He is very strong.
5. What is the purpose of the publication date of the new online dictionary? ______
A. To celebrate an event. B. To honor foreign users.
C. To draw more attention. D. To meet an urgent need.
6. Where does the word "pourriel" come from? ______
A. France. B. An email. C. A holiday. D. Canada.
7. What can users do with the new dictionary? ______
A. Recommend new words to it.
B. Update it regularly.
C. Change the meaning of its words.
D. Regard it as an official dictionary.

A new report links eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease.The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy.The new report combines data from six other earlier studies.It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the average number of eggs a person eats each day increased by half an egg.
In the United States,eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇)in a person's diet.Individuals with higher levels of cholesterol in their diets are at increased risk for the development of heart disease later in life.The team examined data gathered from six studies that involved a total of 29,615 people.Earlier researchers had followed these people for an average of 17.5 years.At the start,the participants answered questions about the foods they ate.But they were not asked about their diets at any time after that.
Over time,there were 5,400 heart-related incidents among the group.This included 2,088 deadly and non-deadly heart disease events and 1,302 deadly and non-deadly stroke events.It also included 1,897 deadly and non-deadly heart failure events and 113 other deaths from cardiovascular(心血管的)disease.
After examining the data,Allen's team found a link between egg consumption as reported at the start of the study and people's risk of developing heart disease.As their egg consumption rose,so did their risk.
Eggs contain a lot of cholesterol一about 200 milligrams.That is the highest daily amount recommended under current guidelines.Less than one egg a day on average is acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.The study is observational,meaning it can only show there is a link between egg consumption and heart disease.But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease.It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also consuming a lot of bacon.
8. What were the participants asked about at the start of the study? ______
A. Their birthplaces. B. Their diets.
C. Their physical conditions. D. Their ages.
9. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about? ______
A. The number of deaths from heart disease.
B. The number of treatments for heart disease.
C. The number of different causes of heart disease.
D. The number of heart disease cases among the participants.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ______
A. Eggs are good for everyone.
B. Eggs are the cause of heart disease.
C. Eating eggs with limits is beneficial.
D. Eating eggs has nothing to do with heart disease.
11. What is the best title for the text? ______
A. Eggs Have Great Nutritional Value
B. Eggs Will Disappear from People's Diet
C. It Is Much Better to Increase Egg Consumption
D. Diet Containing Eggs May Be Linked to Heart Disease
D
Thermoelectric generators(热力发电机)turn waste heat into electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions,like a free lunch.But the high cost of these devices has prevented their widespread use.Now,researchers have found a way to make cheap thermoelectrics that work just as well.The work could pave the way for greener car engines,and other energy-generating devices.
"This looks like a very smart way to realize high performance," says Li-Dong Zhao,a materials scientist.He notes there are still a few more steps before these materials can become high-performing.However,he says, "This will be used in the not too far future."
Thermoelectrics are semiconductor devices placed on a hot surface.That gives them a hot side and a cool side.If a device allows the hot side to warm up the cool side,the electricity stops flowing.A device's success at preventing this,as well as its ability to conduct electrons,feeds into a score known as the figure of merit(优值系数),or ZT.
Researchers have produced thermoelectric materials with increasing ZTs.The record came in 2014 when Mercouri Kanatzidis came up with a tin selenide(硒化物)with a ZT of 3.1.Yet the material was too fragile to work with. "For practical applications,it's a non-starter," Kanatzidis says.
Getting through that door will still take some time.The tin selenide the team makes is mixed with Na,creating a "p-type" material that conducts positive charges.To make working devices,researchers also need an "n-type" version to conduct negative charges.
Zhao's team is now working on making an n-type version.Once successful,researchers should have a clear path to making a new generation of super-efficient thermoelectric generators.Those could be installed everywhere from automobile exhaust pipes to water heaters and industrial smelters to scavenge some of the 65% of fossil fuel energy that winds up as waste heat.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? ______
A. The wide use of thermoelectric generators.
B. The inventors of current thermoelectric generators.
C. The reason why researchers make cheap thermoelectrics.
D. The greener ear engines that contribute to environmental protection.
13. How does Li-Dong Zhao feel about cheap thermoelectric generators? ______
A. Indifferent. B. Worried. C. Critical. D. Positive.
14. What do you know about the research in 2014 from paragraph 4 and 5? ______
A. It was far from a success for practical applications.
B. A tin selenide with a ZT of 3.1 can be easy to work with.
C. Researchers made an "n-type" version to make working devices.
D. A "p-type" material made from the tin selenide conducts negative charges.
15. What does the underlined word "scavenge" in the last paragraph mean? ______
A. Produce. B. Recycle. C. Spot. D. Increase.
Whether you want to impress a new teacher,or just chat with a new acquaintance,knowing how to start a conversation can help you feel more comfortable and confident.
(1) .To take an example,when you go into a room full of strangers,most people there are just like you in their hopes and fears.So when you approach someone to start a conversation,you're helping him,because he wants someone to talk to as much as you do. (2) ,you can acknowledge and accept them,which will be to your advantage.
No matter what the situation is,you can find something positive to say.Comment on the weather,the food,or the event itself.Saying something as simple as you hope your conversation partner has a good time also is a good way to get a conversation rolling.People tend to respond better to a positive subject rather than a negative one.Staying positive also helps put others at ease. (3)
It can be difficult to try to talk to someone when it feels that you have little in common.In these situations,getting the other person to talk about his or her own interests,work,or expertise can be a useful way. (4) ,so expressing a genuine interest in the things that other people enjoy can be excellent fuel for a great conversation.
Learning how to start a conversation is an important skill that can help you build social connections.It can be difficult initially,particularly if you struggle with shyness or social anxiety. (5) .The more often you start to interact with others,the stronger your conversational skills will become.
A.If you put the skills into practice
B.Instead of pushing your fears away
C.Everyone feels some level of fear in social situations
D.Eye contact will make your partner feel embarrassed

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Price of a Miracle Tess was a five-year-old girl when she heard Dad and Mom talking about her little brother,Andrew.All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly surgery could save him and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money.She heard her father say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar from its hiding place.She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.Placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap,she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall's Drug Store.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist(药剂师)to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment.Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter.It worked. "And what do you want?" the pharmacist said,"I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages." Tess replied,"My little brother,Andrew,has something bad growing inside his head and my father says only a miracle can save him now.So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here,little girl.I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said.
The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man.He came up and asked her,"What kind of miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he is really sick and my mother says he needs an operation.But she can't pay for it,so I want to use my money." The man from Chicago asked, "How much do you have?" "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered.
