How to Plan Your Routes to Avoid Busy Places
Whether you are a beginner or already a regular runner，these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.
Strava
Just put in whether you’re running or cycling，how far you’d like to go and whether you’re keen to avoid hills，and the app will then suggest a number of routes near you，based on where other runners have been.It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.
Komoot
As you plan the route，it’ll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input your running speed，allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.
Map my run
Map my run gives runners the option to plan their own route，or the ability to search through popular running routes near you，which is even more helpful for beginners.The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you get lost mid-run.
OS Maps
Another hugely popular map-building platform，OS Maps，is pretty high-tech when it comes to planning a running route.You’ll need a subscription to get some of the features，but using the free app you can find local running routes.There are almost two million routes stored in the routes database，and many of them are free.

It was 312 a．m.when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the crackling of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin，Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory，Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother，his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There，his sister and brother，taking short and quick breaths and coughing，collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs Kreamer，a victim of the smoke，was unconscious，and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and，as a fireman said later，“acted with all the self-control of a trained adult”．
On the bedroom telephone，luckily still working，Glenn called his father and，leaving Mr Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service，got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then，with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up，but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor Grasping firmly a ball of string(线绳) from the garage，Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room.Tying one end of the string to her hand，he ran back，laying out the string as he went，through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan，“The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.

Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize，but the smartphone.
At parties，more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent International Data Corporation study，well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up，keeping it in hand all day.In addition，too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving，and they confirm that text messaging is their number-one driving interruption.People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road，many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends，some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend，which sends a message to that friend：the person I am texting is more important than you.In addition，relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friends in the real world.Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact face to face，but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.
8．The purpose of this text is to .
A．call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C．express concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
9．The second paragraph is developed by .
A．giving examples
B．listing figures
C．comparing facts
D．analyzing the effects
10．The author advocates us to make new friends .
A．by using smartphones
B．in a face-to-face way
C．in different ways
D．under a free circumstance
11．Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that .
A．parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B．people are more and more narrow-minded
C．people’s communication skills are weakened
D．face-to-face communication becomes less important
D
The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones.Our brains have developed in this way because threats，like dangerous animals，have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.As a result，you clearly know what makes you unhappy，but do you know what makes you happy
Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make.If you’ve been chasing wealth，fame，power and some material things，you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places.Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.
People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of our friends is not important.What matters is the quality of our relationships.Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings，acceptance，mutual(双方的) respect and trust.
People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being.Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.
If we are so interested in an activity，we may lose track of time，and we can be in a state of flow.The activity could be playing the piano，surfing the Internet or playing a game...People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.
People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly.People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.
People，who think positively by being grateful，mindful and optimistic，are more likely to be happy.Being grateful means being thankful.Being mindful means considering，focusing on，and enjoying the experiences of the present moment.Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.
12．Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things .
A．tend to affect human survival immediately
B．are much more important than other things
C．can make people live much happier
D．are easy to remember
13．According to this passage，people may find happiness in .
A．being famous B．chasing power
C．setting life goals D．earning money
14．In the last paragraph，the author tries to tell us to .
A．think more about our future
B．be positive in our life and work
C．focus on everything in our life
D．only enjoy the present moment
15．What does the passage mainly want to tell us
A．Why people remember positive things easily.
B．Why people remember negative things easily.
C．What makes people happy.
D．What makes people sad.

Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize，but the smartphone.
At parties，more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent International Data Corporation study，well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up，keeping it in hand all day.In addition，too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving，and they confirm that text messaging is their number-one driving interruption.People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road，many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends，some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend，which sends a message to that friend：the person I am texting is more important than you.In addition，relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friends in the real world.Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact face to face，but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.
8．The purpose of this text is to .
A．call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C．express concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
9．The second paragraph is developed by .
A．giving examples
B．listing figures
C．comparing facts
D．analyzing the effects
10．The author advocates us to make new friends .
A．by using smartphones
B．in a face-to-face way
C．in different ways
D．under a free circumstance
11．Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that .
A．parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B．people are more and more narrow-minded
C．people’s communication skills are weakened
D．face-to-face communication becomes less important
D
The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones.Our brains have developed in this way because threats，like dangerous animals，have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.As a result，you clearly know what makes you unhappy，but do you know what makes you happy
Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make.If you’ve been chasing wealth，fame，power and some material things，you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places.Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.
People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of our friends is not important.What matters is the quality of our relationships.Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings，acceptance，mutual(双方的) respect and trust.
People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being.Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.
If we are so interested in an activity，we may lose track of time，and we can be in a state of flow.The activity could be playing the piano，surfing the Internet or playing a game...People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.
People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly.People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.
People，who think positively by being grateful，mindful and optimistic，are more likely to be happy.Being grateful means being thankful.Being mindful means considering，focusing on，and enjoying the experiences of the present moment.Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.
12．Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things .
A．tend to affect human survival immediately
B．are much more important than other things
C．can make people live much happier
D．are easy to remember
13．According to this passage，people may find happiness in .
A．being famous B．chasing power
C．setting life goals D．earning money
14．In the last paragraph，the author tries to tell us to .
A．think more about our future
B．be positive in our life and work
C．focus on everything in our life

15．What does the passage mainly want to tell us

How to Plan Your Routes to Avoid Busy Places
Whether you are a beginner or already a regular runner，these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.
Strava
Just put in whether you’re running or cycling，how far you’d like to go and whether you’re keen to avoid hills，and the app will then suggest a number of routes near you，based on where other runners have been.It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.
Komoot
As you plan the route，it’ll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input your running speed，allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.
Map my run
Map my run gives runners the option to plan their own route，or the ability to search through popular running routes near you，which is even more helpful for beginners.The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you get lost mid-run.
OS Maps
Another hugely popular map-building platform，OS Maps，is pretty high-tech when it comes to planning a running route.You’ll need a subscription to get some of the features，but using the free app you can find local running routes.There are almost two million routes stored in the routes database，and many of them are free.

It was 312 a．m.when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the crackling of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin，Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory，Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother，his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There，his sister and brother，taking short and quick breaths and coughing，collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs Kreamer，a victim of the smoke，was unconscious，and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and，as a fireman said later，“acted with all the self-control of a trained adult”．
On the bedroom telephone，luckily still working，Glenn called his father and，leaving Mr Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service，got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then，with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up，but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor Grasping firmly a ball of string(线绳) from the garage，Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room.Tying one end of the string to her hand，he ran back，laying out the string as he went，through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan，“The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
