We all want our skin(皮肤) to look good. If your skin is clear and healthy, it makes you feel better about yourself. How can you get great skin Here are some suggestions.
Protect your skin against the sun. If you are going to be outside, especially in the sun, you should put on suncream in summer. Wear a hat to protect your face. A wide hat is the best, as it will protect your ears and neck as well. Stay in the shade whenever you can. Do not stay in the sun for hours, it may burn your skin. Use suncream about half an hour before going outside.
How to wash your skin Wash your body all over once a day. Use mild soap(肥皂) and warm water to wash your body. Wash the soap off, as it may be bad for your skin. Wash your face by using a facecloth and soap or cleaning cream, and then wash with cool water. Hot water can rob the skin of its natural oils and cause it to dry out. Twice a day is enough for your face, as too much cleaning can hurt your skin.
What else should you do Remember to drink lots of water because your skin loves it. Regular exercise is good for your skin. Eat some fruit and vegetables so that your skin can get things it needs to do all the jobs it has to do.

There was a big tree more than a hundred years old living in the middle of a dry land. It gave cover and shade to thousands of travelers. However, except the big old tree, there were no other trees.
One day, two travelers were traveling from far away. They were walking for several miles on a hot day. They started their journey from early morning and it was almost mid noon. The sun was too hot and they were completely exhausted! Luckily, they reached the tree. They were very happy to see such a big tree and decided to take a rest under the tree. They slept for some time happily, enjoying the cool wind.
They felt hungry and one of the travelers decided to climb the branches to see if the tree had any fruit. Since it was not a fruit-bearing tree, he became angry because of hunger and shouted at the tree, “Oh, this is just a useless tree and it has nothing to feed us, not even a fruit or even nuts! It is of no use!”
When the other traveler heard his words, he asked him to stay cool, “You should be grateful to the tree and thank the tree. Just look back at the condition when you reach here in the hot and dry sun! The tree offers you a cool and comfortable place to rest. If it is not here, you may die now! The tree saves your life from the hot sun, but what you say makes me feel sorry for you!”
The first traveler realized his mistake and said sorry to the tree.
1. What did the tree provide the two travelers with

C
An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish " The child replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod ”
“It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
1.Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her
A. Because she didn’t like fish. B. Because she wanted his fishing rod
C. Because the old man had few fish. D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills
2.The writer thought the child was _______ after she explained why she didn’t want the fish.
A. smart B. hardworking C. silly(傻的) D. creative(有创造力的)
3.The article mainly tell us _________
A. if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you won’t be afraid of anything.
B. if you have a fishing rod, you’ll have a lot of fish to eat
C. “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life.
D. “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch
4.What is the best title for the article
A. The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing Man
C. The Fishing Girl D. The fishing Experience

六、任务型阅读 请根据材料内容，完成表格，每空一词。
The QR code(二维码）is of great importance to our lives. But have you ever wondered who invented（发明） the QR code
In the 1960s, supermarkets began to appear in Japan. Cashiers(收银员) had to put the price of each product in the computer by hand. It was really hard work.
Later, the barcode(条形码) came out and worked out the problem. Users can do their work much more easily, but there was a new problem: the barcode could just hold a little information.
So, many developers started to improve the barcode. Masahiro Hara was one of them. He thought, “With the barcode, information is coded(为……编码) in one direction only. With 2D codes, information can be coded in two directions: across and up/ down.” So Hara set out to develop a new 2D code holding a large amount of information. To make it be read as fast as possible, he made the code
black and white, and square.
In 1994, Haras QR code came out. The QR means quick response(反应). It was soon used by a car company and later in the food industry. It was such a success that Hara could use it to get enough money, but he didn’t. He made it public so that everyone could use it for free. “The more people use it, the more new ways of using it there will be. I think this is why the QR code was born.” Haras says.
The QR code
