Bedtime stories play an important role in your child’s development. Not only do bedtime stories create an opportunity to increase the closeness between parents and their kids, but reading a little one at the same time night after night can help them form a healthy sleep routine. Child psychologists also point to the cognitive( 认知的) benefits for young people who are raised with bedtime stories, including the higher-than-average ability to read and write and an emotional connection to reading. Let's look at some of the most popular bedtime storybooks that are available in print.
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Considered one of the greatest bedtime stories of all time, this classic has a lovely narrative and lively illustrations(插图) by Clement Hurd. Goodnight Moon celebrated the 70th anniversary of its original publication in 2017; a three-dimensional version is also available on YouTube.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
First published in1969, this beloved tale features striking illustrations and finger-sized cutouts(剪成的图样)that allow children to physically participate in the story.

Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram

There’s no denying that learning a foreign language is difficult, and when it comes to speaking the language, it can be extremely tough. I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in multiple languages. It’s safe to say I felt out of my depth!
At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before. However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress. In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought. Here, I think I will share a few tips with you.
Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them. This sounds obvious, but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection and feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have "enough" words or grammatical knowledge. The truth is you will never feel ready, and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can.
This leads on to my next tip: don’t compare yourself to others. This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn at different speeds and through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident.
Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come! Instead of focusing on how far you have to go, focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements!
4.What does the underlined part suggest in the passage __
A. The author took great pride in his classmates.
B. The author wanted to leave university immediately.
C. The author failed to join in his classmates' conversation.
D. The author was unable to speak many languages.
5.What is the common barrier for language learners ______
A. They fail to have a good command of grammar.
B. They have a lack of courage to speak the language.
C. They can't use the language in right situations.
D. They can't help comparing themselves to others.
6.What’s the best way to learn Spanish in the author’s opinion _______
A. Find a partner whose Spanish is excellent.
B. Set long-term goals to improve enthusiasm.
C. Learn from an example and pick out weak points.
D. Choose a language exchange partner at the same level.
7.What does the author want to tell in the passage _______
A. Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million.
B. Learning new languages is not so hard.
C. Confidence is the key to speaking a language.
D. Don't ignore what you have achieved in learning.
C
Everywhere we look, we are surrounded by technology. We heavily rely on technology for our day-to-day lives. There are the social media apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, where we are able to see into the lives of everyone around us. There are other more useful apps like Google Maps where you can use a GPS to get from one place to another. It is no wonder that we are constantly looking down at our phones and other devices. And, that is a problem.
Pretty soon, I fear that people will no longer be able to communicate face to face. I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone sans cell phones and distractions. It shows that you care about who you are talking to and want to involve and listen to them. The cell phone can wait until later.
What I really dislike is that younger and younger children are using technology. Instead of playing outside with friends, they are playing on iPads, iPods, or video games. Instead of having little games or books, children now have electronic devices to use to distract them even if waiting at doctors' appointments etc. They want cell phones at young ages. They have texting. I overheard sixth graders one day talking about texting, and I was a little sad. At that age, I had to call my friends on the phone in order to talk to them.
We are a society based on technology. And, that isn't a completely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine. But we shouldn't be addicted to so many of these devices that we forget to look around and see what is happening in the world around us.
8.What can be concluded from the first paragraph
A. Some tech products leave us unable to focus.
B. Social media apps make people more visible.
C. Many people usually misuse social media apps.
D. Technology provides us with a convenient life.
9.Which can best replace the underlined word "sans"
A.in need of B. without C.in spite of D. with
10.What's the author's attitude towards using technology in medicine
A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Concerned. D. Supportive.
11.What does the author really want to show in the passage
A. We should take a step back from constantly using technology.
B. The electronic devices are closely connected with our life.
C. Society should no longer be based on technology.
D. We should say goodbye to electronic devices.
D
According to a new study from Cornell University, about one-fifth of the global population, or 2 billion people worldwide, will be forced to resettle or go deeper inland by 2100 due to the continuous rise in sea level.
The study, published in the journal Land Use Policy, showed that the booming global population could make the matter worse. The researchers expected that there are about 1.4 billion “climate change refugees(难民)” in the world by 2060 and by 2100 the number of the homeless people due to the rising sea level could reach up to two billion.
“We're going to have more people on less land and sooner than we think,” said lead author Charles Geisler, professor at Cornell. “The future rise in global average sea level probably won’t be gradual. Yet few policy makers are observing the significant barriers that coastal climate refugees, like other refugees, will run into when they move to higher ground.”
For the study, the researchers reviewed potential problems that climate change refugees may face if they go deeper inland. The researchers were able to provide primary estimates of their loss on inland resettlement space. The researchers found that some inland regions were unlikely to support new waves of climate change refugees due to the remains of war, road developments and rare natural resources.
Apart from the rising sea level, increasing storm weather and the booming global population are also having a huge influence on the numbers of climate change refugees. Storms can push seawater further inland. The increasing global population requires more land even as the ocean swallows up rich coastal zones and the river deltas. These force people to search for new places to move to higher ground.
12.What would happen if the sea level were to rise
A. 2 billion people would be “refugees” by 2060.
B. 50% of the population would lose their homes.
C. Inland regions would become more crowded.
D. Coastal regions would be polluted seriously.
13.What can be inferred from Charles Geisler’s words
A. The sea level will go up in a little-by-little way.
B. Moving to higher land isn’t the key solution.
C. Land and population vary according to climate change.
D. Policy makers should think more for climate change refugees.
14.Why do climate change refugees fail to move to some inland regions
A. Because they can’t live a normal life there.
B. Because they can’t adapt to the climate there.
C. Because they will go to war.
D. Because they will destroy the natural resources.
15.What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. In the future climate will become worse.
B. The earth will see more climate change refugees.
C. Global warming is a double-edged sword.
D. Sea will bring humans more disadvantages.

Protecting your eyesight is one of the most important things you can do to help maintain your quality of
life. 16 Consider these simple guidelines:
Protect your eyes from harmful UV(紫外线的) light. When you stay outdoors during daytime, always wear sunglasses that protect your eyes from 100 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays. 17
Look for warning signs of changes in your vision. 18 Some trouble signs to look for are double vision, hazy (模糊的) vision and having difficulty seeing in low light conditions. Other signs and symptoms of potentially serious eye problems that require immediate attention include red eyes, frequent flashes of light, eye pain and swelling.
19 A comprehensive eye exam, including enlarging your pupils (瞳孔), can determine your risk for major eye diseases that have no early warning signs or symptoms. An eye exam also can make sure that your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses (隐形眼镜) is up to date.
20 But keeping a healthy lifestyle and having regular eye exams will certainly decrease your risk of developing a sight-stealing eye problem that otherwise might have prevented.
A. This may help reduce your risk of cataracts(白内障) and other problems.
B. Test your eyesight for free in an online eye exam.
C. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.
D. With a little careful and loving care, you can keep your eyes healthy as you age.
E. Get your eyes checked at least every two years.
F. It’s true that following these steps is no guarantee of perfect vision through your lifetime.
G. If you start noticing changes in your vision, see your eye doctor immediately.

How are you doing these days Know that you’re interested in the picture I post online the day before yesterday, I’m very delighted. It is about serving chopsticks, as you can see it. They’re used to move food from a serving plate to the person’s bowl when people have dinner with others, whether friends and families. Chinese people often share their dishes to show kind. Now we advise that each diner on the table uses serving chopsticks. In this way, viruses and bacteria are stopped spreading. As far as I’m concerned, I’m strong for the idea of serving chopsticks, what can benefit us all.
