As a professor of architecture aiming at helping his students understand 3D geometry （几何）, Ern？ Rubik created a puzzle that would capture （激发）the imagination of generations to come- the Rubik's cube. The Rubik's cube became one of the most popular toys in history, with more than 350 million sold to date.
In the first three years that the cube was licensed to an American company, it sold 100 million copies around the world. Rubik never imagined it would have that kind of appeal. “People tended not to buy difficult puzzles, " he explains.

The key is starting early, from elementary school, and continuing on and on, ” he said. “ This small blue planet and its entire interdependent population depends on future generations learning these subjects. I and my company have tried to help. We've introduced the 'You CAN Do the Rubik's Cube' course to hundreds of schools across the United States and are expanding it elsewhere to help students to learn in an engaging, interactive, practical way. ”

Back-to-back typhoons that attacked reefs （礁） and turned corals upside down hit in 2014 and 2015 in Australia sea, which ruined the coral ecosystem.
Feeling “absolutely shocked, ” Stephen Simpson, a biologist at the University of Bristol, decided to channel his sorrow into action. In 2017, he piled up coral remains to build dozens of new small reefs. He placed speakers nearby to play recordings made when the reefs were healthy. “As I wish, twice as many young fish settled on the reefs near these speakers", he says.
In a new paper, Brittany Williams, a graduate student at the University of Adelaide, reviewed projects that used sound to help restore marine （海洋的） ecosystems. “We wanted to prove that sound has great potential”, she says. That potential arises from the fact that a healthy ocean is noisy: fish whistle, dolphins scream, and spiny lobsters play their feeler like violins. Like the noise of a big city, the familiar sound of a healthy habitat attracts young creatures that are seeking a permanent home.
The experiments showed that sound is one of the signals baby fish use to find and settle on a coral reef after spending their first weeks swimming in the open ocean. “We realized that the fish might be hearing their way home, " says Williams.
In experiments begun during her postgraduate degree, Williams put oysters （牡蛎） into jars and played some of them a recording from a wasteland where an oyster reef used to be. Other oysters were played nothing, while a third group heard the sound of a restored reef. The oysters that heard the restored reef were about twice as likely as the others to settle and attach themselves at the bottom of the jar.
28. What would Simpson want to achieve when taking action on the reefs
A. Playing recordings for fishes.
B. Making the sea peaceful again.
C. Creating larger and newer reefs.
D. Rebuilding the reef community.
29. What is a healthy marine ecosystem like in Williams's opinion
A. Sea animals hear their way home.
B. Reefs are strong and large enough.
C. The ocean is noisy with various sounds.
D. Sea animals have their permanent habitats.
30. What may be vital for ensuring the future of the ocean according to the research
A. Sound. B. Reefs. C. Climate. D. Humans.
31. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage
A. To urge people to protect sea life right away.
B. To show the magic use of sea animals' sound.
C. To introduce a way to restore marine ecosystem.
D. To remove the worries of ecosystem getting worse.
D
Today, about 10% of the world's population are left-handed. Archeological evidence shows that it's been that way for as long as 500, 000 years, with about 10% of human remains showing the associated differences in arm length and bone density （密度）, and some ancient tools and artifacts showing evidence of left-hand use.
A recent mathematical model suggests that the actual rate of handedness reflects a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.
The benefits of being left-handed are clearest in activities involving an opponent, like combat （格斗） or competitive sports. For example, about 50％ of top hitters in baseball have been left- handed. Why Because lefties are a minority to begin with, both right-handed and left-handed competitors will spend most of their time encountering and practicing against righties. So when the two face each other, the left-hander will more probably win this right-handed opponent.
The imbalance in the population results in an advantage for left-handed fighters or athletes, but according to the principles of evolution, groups that have a relative advantage disappears. If people were only fighting and competing throughout human evolution, natural selection would lead to more lefties being the ones that survived until there were so many of them that they were no longer rare.
So in a purely competitive world, 50% of the population would be left-handed. But human evolution has been shaped by cooperation, as well as competition. In golf, where performance doesn't depend on the opponent, only 4% of top players are left-handed. And many of the important instruments （器械） that have shaped society were designed for the right-handed majority. Because lefties are worse at using these tools, and suffer from higher accident rates, they would be less successful in a purely cooperative world, eventually disappearing from the population.
32. What influences the actual rate of handedness according to the text
A. The total population in the area.
B. The instruments in human's life.
C. Human's arm length and bone density.
D. Competitive and cooperative pressures.
33. Why do lefties benefit more in competitive sports
A. Because they practise harder.
B. Because they are better prepared.
C. Because their opponents are righties.
D. Because half of the athletes are lefties.
34. What can we infer about lefties from the text
A. Left-hand use is natural.
B. Lefties win more in sports.
C. Handedness changes easily.
D. Lefties don't like cooperation.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Are the Left-handed More Popular
B. How the Left-handed Benefit More
C. Will Lefties Disappear in the Future
D. Why Are Some People Left-handed

It took Chen Jinying aged 90 ten years to finally pay of her 20.77 million yuan debt, and now she feels completely relieved and carefree.
Chen used to be a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Lishui, Zhejiang. She discovered there was a gap in the market for down coats for elderly people in the 1980s, so after she retired in the early 1990s, she launched her own company to make such coats.
Things went well for a while. At the peak of her business, the annual output value surpassed 10 million yuan and she had more than 100 workers. Chen was active in public welfare, donating 570 ,000 yuan and down coats worth several hundred thousand yuan. But in 2011, the company encountered poor sales. She was forced to sell her factories for 9 million yuan and had more than 2 million yuan in debt. In 2012, Chen rented a factory to produce the coats, hoping sales would rise so she could pay her debts. Instead, her stock (库存) grew, and soon she was no longer able to pay her workers. She halted production in 2016.
Chen sold her two apartments to help repay her loans, but she still owed money to banks and other private lenders. Some people suggested she apply for bankruptcy (破产) to avoid paying the debt, but she refused to do so. “If so, I wouldn't feel at ease,” Chen said.
She began taking her coats to parks and downtown areas to sell them. Chen' s story soon gained media attention. People moved by her perseverance and honesty came to her aid. In 2017, volunteers and livestreaming hosts came to her house to help her promote sales. And hundreds of retailers (零售商) on e—commerce platform Taobao donated the prime positions of their online stores for one day to products.

I know a lot of people have the urge to stick their head in the sand and pretend this could never happen to them. “But all that does is leave us open to not being prepared,” Dr. Abigail Hardin, a rehabilitation (复原) psychologist said. And that is exactly the last thing Dr. Abigail Hardin wants to see during this epidemic.
“Our brains do not function well under great stress. And when it's time to go to the hospital, you're going to be under immense stress. So it's much smarter to prepare in advance,” Hardin said, which is why Hardin says she was motivated to write “The COVID—19 Survival Guide: How to Prepare for, Manage, and Overcome a Coronavirus Infection.”
Hardin's first steps for accomplishing this Taking continuous health precautions and creating a COVID—19 preparedness kit. "The preparedness kit is an equal to the medical kit that you put in the trunk of your car as an emergency kit," Hardin said. “Women who are pregnant often pack a kit to go to the hospital to give birth. This is the same.”
Hardin says most items in the kit are things we already know to pack in case of emergency. But it also includes important documents such as powers of attorney (授权书) and wills—documents that the National Institute on Aging recommend preparing in advance of a medical emergency. It includes things like an advanced directive or living will. Those will really help the care team provide care for us in a way that will improve the recovery process.
Hardin's book also goes over the list of care providers you could meet if hospitalized with the virus, including lead physicians, specialists, nurses and therapists. “I think there're larger problems here that we as a health care system need to address and one of them is making sure that in the future, when something like this happens, we do have psychologists available everywhere because no one deserves to go through this alone," Hardin said.
8. What's Hardin's attitude towards many people's view on COVID—19
A. Worried. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
9. What motivated Hardin to write the book
A. To share how to reduce stress.
B. To reduce people's chance of being infected.
C. To encourage people to fight against COVID—19.
D. To help patients avoid panic when hospitalized.
10. What can we learn about a COVID — 19 preparedness kit
A. It is an aid to the care team.
B. It is designed for the pregnant.
C. It is an emergency kit in people's cars.
D. It is a pack of medical folders.
11. What does Hardin suggest the care system do
A. Provide free preparedness kits.
B. Prevent infection from happening.
C. Make psychological help easily accessible.
D. Offer a list of care providers to the patients.
D
It may seem clear to you that the image in which Barack Obama and David Cameron are kissing their spouses has been doctored (篡改) and cut together. But out on the Internet not everyone will see it that way.
After the 2016 election, Facebook created a program to fact — check posts. They started paying organizations like Reuters and Politifact to mark content like this. Another agency looked through thousands of marked posts and saw all sorts of misinformation. Much of it was manipulated (操纵的) content—something that started off real but was later changed in some way to convey incorrect information. Some of those were doctored photos that were presented as real.
But many more were photos that weren't doctored. They were just not what the poster claimed. Like this photo: Dr. Anthony Fauci and Obama supposedly visiting “the Wuhan lab” in 2015 with Melinda Cates. The photo is “real”—it comes from the NIH. But that' s not Wuhan, it's Maryland. And that's not even Melinda Gates. We saw a lot of examples like this. And don' t think a post isn't manipulated just because it has numbers in it. The person who posted this map said it showed the number of missing children by county in Ohio last year. This is real data that really comes from the Ohio Attorney General' s office. Although it actually shows missing children reports, that's misleading. There were 20 ,000 reports in 2018, but less than 2% of those children were still missing when the report was published. Nearly all of them were safely recovered that year.
Unfortunately, we can't rely on just Facebook's fact—checking partners to prevent misinformation. Only a small part of the millions of posts circulating every day on the platform can be checked. According to the News Literacy Project, consumers should keep an eye on where a piece of information is coming from. Is it a reliable news agency Are other news organizations reporting similar information Where did an image or video first appear
Misinformation often plays upon emotional responses. So if a questionable bit of information leaves you in anger, it may be manipulated content trying to manipulate you.
12. Why did Facebook create the program
A. To delete misleading posts B. To correct misinformation.
C. To analyze misinformation. D. To check misleading posts.
13. What can be concluded according to Paragraph 3
A. Misinformation is originally unreal.
B. A post containing real data is reliable.
C. A post having numbers is easily believed.
D. Ohio is not a safe place for children.
14. Misinformation may be a tool to ________ according to the passage.
A. manipulate readers. B. avoid checking.
C. earn more money. D. amuse readers.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. All Sorts of Misinformation
B. Unavoidable Misinformation
C. Doctored Photos on Facebook
D. Manipulated Misinformation on the Internet

Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Frankly in Love by David Yoon
There are some books I would never pick up if it weren' t for review purposes and Frankly in Love is one of therm. I bad heard of this book and seen it all over Goodreads.
Within the first few pages of this book, I was all in. I think part of what was so engaging is that it's from he viewpoint of Frank Li, a teen of high school.
Game of Stars by Sayantani Dasgupta
Just like any 12-year-old girl, Kiran is just tying to figure out who she is. Unlike other 12-year-old girls, however, she has to0 deal with titles like "princess and "demon slayer (魔鬼杀手)”. She happens to be a princess from the Kingdom Beyond, a world where gods and demons existed. Now it is up to her to save the kingdom and be the hero.
Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
This is a remarkable book. The depth of the story went far beyond my expectations. The author paints a picture of Lincoln, a portrait (肖像) of strength, determination, and sacrifice in the face of personal and national disaster.

In a world facing increasing conflict and instability, a Chinese Canadian is sending messages of love and peace through his artwork.
William Ho, 60, who arrived in Canada from Hong Kong 42 years ago, teaches Chinese brush-painting near Toronto. The United Nations invited Ho to exhibit his art and his masterpiece at its headquarters in New York in 2006, and he then became a UN global partner. Ho has been doing Chinese art and Chinese brush-painting for more than 50 years and teaching for over 30. He has more than 3, 000 students from around the world.
“I actually started in Western art when I was younger, working in pencil drawing, oil painting, water color, etc. However, after I met Chinese brush-painting a couple of years later, my eyes and mind were enlightened,”Ho recalled. Chinese and Western artists should respect, appreciate and learn from each other. Ho said one of his missions (使命) is to bring Chinese culture“back to”the centre stage of the world, as it had been for thousands of years.
So one of the themes in Ho' s speeches delivered at UN Headquarters was“position well China, and position well the world". Ho said that some countries demand special treatment from the world or the international court in the name of democracy (民主) and freedom.“This mentality is sick, selfish and bad. The people of the world and Mother Nature are saying no to the greedy. In fact, the whole world cannot afford these types of demands. We as a global family wouldn' t allow this to happen."Ho said. Contrary to greed, Chinese culture believes that“less is more'”.
“Chinese culture has been enlightening the world through our art, literature, philosophy, medicine, technologies in astronomy, navigation and four great inventions,”Ho said.

One of the most critical roles forests play is relieving climate change. Trees suck enormous amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air and fix the carbon in their wood and the soil. A recent study found that planting new trees over an area the size of the US could suck away two thirds of all the carbon dioxide discharge that humans have pumped into the atmosphere.
“Without animals, it is harder for forests to absorb carbon, as tree species (种类) important for protecting the climate could be lost without animals", Susanne Winter, a program director said at the WWF.
In Africa many of the tree species that absorb the most carbon rely on large birds and primates (灵长类动物) to eat their fruits and spread their large seeds, according to the report. Without them, those trees would have difficulty reproducing and forests would lose their best carbon-storing trees.
“Forests are our greatest natural ally in the fight against global warming, ”Winter said.“If we want to hold back the worldwide decline in biodiversity and prevent the climate crisis,s we need to protect the forests and the species living there.
Forests also filter (过滤) water-- as water makes its way to lakes or groundwater reserves, the roots and soil separate it from deposits and pollution that it collects along the way. What' s more, forests regulate the global water cycle, since trees' leaves, branches, and roots store or send out water vapor.
Climate models show that forest-cutting down in Central Africa could lead to a 15% drop in rainfall in the US Midwest, and Amazon deforestation (森林滥伐) could cut Texas rainfall by 25%.
Humans also get food, wood, and medicine from the abundance of plants and animals in forests. Worldwide, 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livings, according to the United Nations. About 300 million people live in forests, according to WWF.
8. What's the purpose of Paragraph 3
A. To tell where the large seeds go.
B. To show the tree species in Africa.
C To draw reader' s attention to Africa.

B. By feeding birds and animals.
C. By providing life necessities.
D. By increasing the variety of trees.
11. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Water should be filtered.
B. The more forests, the more rain.
C. Forests should be globally protected.
D. Half the carbon dioxide is sucked away by trees.
D
If our bodies actually suffer from eating too much sugar, then why do we like it And why don 't we have such a strong eager for food like, say, broccoli (西兰花)，which is a great source of Vitamin C,Vitamin K iron, all things our body actually needs If it's so bad for us, then why does sugar taste so good There are hundreds of journal articles trying to answer that very question. Let' s take a look at what they' ve come up with.
Studies have shown that the love children have for sugar may be born with. In other words, kids may have a built-in love of all things sweet. The preference for sweet foods is found to be already evident in newborns, who prefer sweeter formulas (配方). It also seems to be shared by children globally across cultures and climates. There’s further evidence that kids’ taste buds (味蕾) are more sensitive to bitter-tasting foods, further pushing them to reach for the sweets. One study showed that adults tend to maximize their sugar preference at about the level of sugar in a can of soda, but older children still liked drinks that were twice as sweet. The scientists couldn't find a limit to the concentration of sugar younger children preferred. It turms out that the kids still liked the sugary drink even past the point where there was too much sugar to be dissolved (溶解) in water anymore.
Sugar gets a bad fame, but it isn't all bad. Sugar provides our bodies with calories, which we can then change into energy. Children, in particular, need this energy to fuel their rapid growth. Sugar also helps us store fat, which can be drawn on later if needed. Our body knows to pursue the things it needs as two way of signaling our brain to start eating what we’re missing.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者)，I know that when I start thinking about stealing the peanut butter sandwich that's been floating around in my kid' s backpack, it' s probably not because the sandwich is so delicious. It' s more likely that I haven't gotten enough protein for the day.
12. What makes so many people study sugar
A. High sugar intake.
B. Curiosity about Sugar.
C. The love for sugar.
D. The magic effect of sugar.
13. What do the studies show about eating the sweets
A. Loving sugar is human's nature.
B. A vegetarian doesn't like sugar so much.
C. The older one is, the more sugar one needs.
D. The love for sugar depends on living habits.
14. How does sugar impress us according to the text
A. Deadly but irresistible.
B. Beneficial but harmful.
C. Necessary but not welcome.
D. Useful but not nutritious.
15. Why does the author steal his kid's food
A. To store more protein,
B. To treat his illness.
C. To avoid his kid eating more.
D. To meet body' s needs.

As a professor of architecture aiming at helping his students understand 3D geometry （几何）, Ern？ Rubik created a puzzle that would capture （激发）the imagination of generations to come- the Rubik's cube.

Back-to-back typhoons that attacked reefs （礁） and turned corals upside down hit in 2014 and 2015 in Australia sea, which ruined the coral ecosystem.
Feeling “absolutely shocked, ” Stephen Simpson, a biologist at the University of Bristol, decided to channel his sorrow into action. In 2017, he piled up coral remains to build dozens of new small reefs. He placed speakers nearby to play recordings made when the reefs were healthy. “As I wish, twice as many young fish settled on the reefs near these speakers", he says.
In a new paper, Brittany Williams, a graduate student at the University of Adelaide, reviewed projects that used sound to help restore marine （海洋的） ecosystems. “We wanted to prove that sound has great potential”, she says. That potential arises from the fact that a healthy ocean is noisy: fish whistle, dolphins scream, and spiny lobsters play their feeler like violins. Like the noise of a big city, the familiar sound of a healthy habitat attracts young creatures that are seeking a permanent home.
The experiments showed that sound is one of the signals baby fish use to find and settle on a coral reef after spending their first weeks swimming in the open ocean. “We realized that the fish might be hearing their way home, " says Williams.
In experiments begun during her postgraduate degree, Williams put oysters （牡蛎） into jars and played some of them a recording from a wasteland where an oyster reef used to be. Other oysters were played nothing, while a third group heard the sound of a restored reef. The oysters that heard the restored reef were about twice as likely as the others to settle and attach themselves at the bottom of the jar.
28. What would Simpson want to achieve when taking action on the reefs
A. Playing recordings for fishes.
B. Making the sea peaceful again.
C. Creating larger and newer reefs.
D. Rebuilding the reef community.
29. What is a healthy marine ecosystem like in Williams's opinion
A. Sea animals hear their way home.
B. Reefs are strong and large enough.
C. The ocean is noisy with various sounds.
D. Sea animals have their permanent habitats.
30. What may be vital for ensuring the future of the ocean according to the research
A. Sound. B. Reefs. C. Climate. D. Humans.
31. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage
A. To urge people to protect sea life right away.
B. To show the magic use of sea animals' sound.
C. To introduce a way to restore marine ecosystem.
D. To remove the worries of ecosystem getting worse.
D
Today, about 10% of the world's population are left-handed. Archeological evidence shows that it's been that way for as long as 500, 000 years, with about 10% of human remains showing the associated differences in arm length and bone density （密度）, and some ancient tools and artifacts showing evidence of left-hand use.
A recent mathematical model suggests that the actual rate of handedness reflects a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.
The benefits of being left-handed are clearest in activities involving an opponent, like combat （格斗） or competitive sports. For example, about 50％ of top hitters in baseball have been left- handed. Why Because lefties are a minority to begin with, both right-handed and left-handed competitors will spend most of their time encountering and practicing against righties. So when the two face each other, the left-hander will more probably win this right-handed opponent.
The imbalance in the population results in an advantage for left-handed fighters or athletes, but according to the principles of evolution, groups that have a relative advantage disappears. If people were only fighting and competing throughout human evolution, natural selection would lead to more lefties being the ones that survived until there were so many of them that they were no longer rare.
So in a purely competitive world, 50% of the population would be left-handed. But human evolution has been shaped by cooperation, as well as competition. In golf, where performance doesn't depend on the opponent, only 4% of top players are left-handed. And many of the important instruments （器械） that have shaped society were designed for the right-handed majority. Because lefties are worse at using these tools, and suffer from higher accident rates, they would be less successful in a purely cooperative world, eventually disappearing from the population.
32. What influences the actual rate of handedness according to the text
A. The total population in the area.
B. The instruments in human's life.
C. Human's arm length and bone density.
D. Competitive and cooperative pressures.
33. Why do lefties benefit more in competitive sports
A. Because they practise harder.
B. Because they are better prepared.
C. Because their opponents are righties.
D. Because half of the athletes are lefties.
34. What can we infer about lefties from the text
A. Left-hand use is natural.
B. Lefties win more in sports.
C. Handedness changes easily.
D. Lefties don't like cooperation.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Are the Left-handed More Popular
B. How the Left-handed Benefit More
C. Will Lefties Disappear in the Future
D. Why Are Some People Left-handed

It took Chen Jinying aged 90 ten years to finally pay of her 20.77 million yuan debt, and now she feels completely relieved and carefree.
Chen used to be a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Lishui, Zhejiang. She discovered there was a gap in the market for down coats for elderly people in the 1980s, so after she retired in the early 1990s, she launched her own company to make such coats.
Things went well for a while. At the peak of her business, the annual output value surpassed 10 million yuan and she had more than 100 workers. Chen was active in public welfare, donating 570 ,000 yuan and down coats worth several hundred thousand yuan. But in 2011, the company encountered poor sales. She was forced to sell her factories for 9 million yuan and had more than 2 million yuan in debt. In 2012, Chen rented a factory to produce the coats, hoping sales would rise so she could pay her debts. Instead, her stock (库存) grew, and soon she was no longer able to pay her workers.

I know a lot of people have the urge to stick their head in the sand and pretend this could never happen to them. “But all that does is leave us open to not being prepared,” Dr. Abigail Hardin, a rehabilitation (复原) psychologist said. And that is exactly the last thing Dr. Abigail Hardin wants to see during this epidemic.
“Our brains do not function well under great stress. And when it's time to go to the hospital, you're going to be under immense stress. So it's much smarter to prepare in advance,” Hardin said, which is why Hardin says she was motivated to write “The COVID—19 Survival Guide: How to Prepare for, Manage, and Overcome a Coronavirus Infection.”
Hardin's first steps for accomplishing this Taking continuous health precautions and creating a COVID—19 preparedness kit. "The preparedness kit is an equal to the medical kit that you put in the trunk of your car as an emergency kit," Hardin said. “Women who are pregnant often pack a kit to go to the hospital to give birth. This is the same.”
Hardin says most items in the kit are things we already know to pack in case of emergency. But it also includes important documents such as powers of attorney (授权书) and wills—documents that the National Institute on Aging recommend preparing in advance of a medical emergency. It includes things like an advanced directive or living will. Those will really help the care team provide care for us in a way that will improve the recovery process.
Hardin's book also goes over the list of care providers you could meet if hospitalized with the virus, including lead physicians, specialists, nurses and therapists. “I think there're larger problems here that we as a health care system need to address and one of them is making sure that in the future, when something like this happens, we do have psychologists available everywhere because no one deserves to go through this alone," Hardin said.
8. What's Hardin's attitude towards many people's view on COVID—19
A. Worried. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
9. What motivated Hardin to write the book
A. To share how to reduce stress.
B. To reduce people's chance of being infected.
C. To encourage people to fight against COVID—19.
D. To help patients avoid panic when hospitalized.
10. What can we learn about a COVID — 19 preparedness kit
A. It is an aid to the care team.
B. It is designed for the pregnant.
C. It is an emergency kit in people's cars.
D. It is a pack of medical folders.

C. Make psychological help easily accessible.

It may seem clear to you that the image in which Barack Obama and David Cameron are kissing their spouses has been doctored (篡改) and cut together. But out on the Internet not everyone will see it that way.
After the 2016 election, Facebook created a program to fact — check posts. They started paying organizations like Reuters and Politifact to mark content like this. Another agency looked through thousands of marked posts and saw all sorts of misinformation. Much of it was manipulated (操纵的) content—something that started off real but was later changed in some way to convey incorrect information. Some of those were doctored photos that were presented as real.
But many more were photos that weren't doctored. They were just not what the poster claimed. Like this photo: Dr. Anthony Fauci and Obama supposedly visiting “the Wuhan lab” in 2015 with Melinda Cates. The photo is “real”—it comes from the NIH. But that' s not Wuhan, it's Maryland. And that's not even Melinda Gates. We saw a lot of examples like this. And don' t think a post isn't manipulated just because it has numbers in it. The person who posted this map said it showed the number of missing children by county in Ohio last year. This is real data that really comes from the Ohio Attorney General' s office. Although it actually shows missing children reports, that's misleading. There were 20 ,000 reports in 2018, but less than 2% of those children were still missing when the report was published. Nearly all of them were safely recovered that year.
Unfortunately, we can't rely on just Facebook's fact—checking partners to prevent misinformation. Only a small part of the millions of posts circulating every day on the platform can be checked. According to the News Literacy Project, consumers should keep an eye on where a piece of information is coming from. Is it a reliable news agency Are other news organizations reporting similar information Where did an image or video first appear
Misinformation often plays upon emotional responses. So if a questionable bit of information leaves you in anger, it may be manipulated content trying to manipulate you.
12. Why did Facebook create the program
A. To delete misleading posts B. To correct misinformation.
C. To analyze misinformation. D. To check misleading posts.
13. What can be concluded according to Paragraph 3
A. Misinformation is originally unreal.
B. A post containing real data is reliable.
C. A post having numbers is easily believed.
D. Ohio is not a safe place for children.
14. Misinformation may be a tool to ________ according to the passage.
A. manipulate readers. B. avoid checking.
C. earn more money. D. amuse readers.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. All Sorts of Misinformation
B. Unavoidable Misinformation
C. Doctored Photos on Facebook
D. Manipulated Misinformation on the Internet

In a world facing increasing conflict and instability, a Chinese Canadian is sending messages of love and peace through his artwork.

The people of the world and Mother Nature are saying no to the greedy. In fact, the whole world cannot afford these types of demands. We as a global family wouldn' t allow this to happen."Ho said. Contrary to greed, Chinese culture believes that“less is more'”.

One of the most critical roles forests play is relieving climate change. Trees suck enormous amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air and fix the carbon in their wood and the soil. A recent study found that planting new trees over an area the size of the US could suck away two thirds of all the carbon dioxide discharge that humans have pumped into the atmosphere.
“Without animals, it is harder for forests to absorb carbon, as tree species (种类) important for protecting the climate could be lost without animals", Susanne Winter, a program director said at the WWF.
In Africa many of the tree species that absorb the most carbon rely on large birds and primates (灵长类动物) to eat their fruits and spread their large seeds, according to the report. Without them, those trees would have difficulty reproducing and forests would lose their best carbon-storing trees.
“Forests are our greatest natural ally in the fight against global warming, ”Winter said.“If we want to hold back the worldwide decline in biodiversity and prevent the climate crisis,s we need to protect the forests and the species living there.
Forests also filter (过滤) water-- as water makes its way to lakes or groundwater reserves, the roots and soil separate it from deposits and pollution that it collects along the way. What' s more, forests regulate the global water cycle, since trees' leaves, branches, and roots store or send out water vapor.
Climate models show that forest-cutting down in Central Africa could lead to a 15% drop in rainfall in the US Midwest, and Amazon deforestation (森林滥伐) could cut Texas rainfall by 25%.
Humans also get food, wood, and medicine from the abundance of plants and animals in forests. Worldwide, 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livings, according to the United Nations. About 300 million people live in forests, according to WWF.

If our bodies actually suffer from eating too much sugar, then why do we like it And why don 't we have such a strong eager for food like, say, broccoli (西兰花)，which is a great source of Vitamin C,Vitamin K iron, all things our body actually needs If it's so bad for us, then why does sugar taste so good There are hundreds of journal articles trying to answer that very question. Let' s take a look at what they' ve come up with.
Studies have shown that the love children have for sugar may be born with. In other words, kids may have a built-in love of all things sweet. The preference for sweet foods is found to be already evident in newborns, who prefer sweeter formulas (配方). It also seems to be shared by children globally across cultures and climates. There’s further evidence that kids’ taste buds (味蕾) are more sensitive to bitter-tasting foods, further pushing them to reach for the sweets. One study showed that adults tend to maximize their sugar preference at about the level of sugar in a can of soda, but older children still liked drinks that were twice as sweet. The scientists couldn't find a limit to the concentration of sugar younger children preferred. It turms out that the kids still liked the sugary drink even past the point where there was too much sugar to be dissolved (溶解) in water anymore.
Sugar gets a bad fame, but it isn't all bad. Sugar provides our bodies with calories, which we can then change into energy. Children, in particular, need this energy to fuel their rapid growth. Sugar also helps us store fat, which can be drawn on later if needed. Our body knows to pursue the things it needs as two way of signaling our brain to start eating what we’re missing.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者)，I know that when I start thinking about stealing the peanut butter sandwich that's been floating around in my kid' s backpack, it' s probably not because the sandwich is so delicious. It' s more likely that I haven't gotten enough protein for the day.
12. What makes so many people study sugar
A. High sugar intake.
B. Curiosity about Sugar.
C. The love for sugar.
D. The magic effect of sugar.
13. What do the studies show about eating the sweets
A. Loving sugar is human's nature.
B. A vegetarian doesn't like sugar so much.
C. The older one is, the more sugar one needs.
D. The love for sugar depends on living habits.
14. How does sugar impress us according to the text
A. Deadly but irresistible.
B. Beneficial but harmful.
C. Necessary but not welcome.
D. Useful but not nutritious.
15. Why does the author steal his kid's food
A. To store more protein,
B. To treat his illness.
C. To avoid his kid eating more.
D. To meet body' s needs.
