The season of ice cream treats is in full swing. Nothing captures pure joy and innocence like an ice cream cone (蛋筒) dripping down your hand.
But hove you ever wondered why some ice cream just stands apart from all the others What really makes good ice cream Well, here’s how to tell high-quality ice cream without even Lasting it.
Let the ingredients speak
High-quality ice cream is always made with real vanilla (香草) nuts, chocolate or fruit. On the other hand, if you’ve ever looked closely at the ingredients of ice cream from less fancy brands, you may have noticed that they only say “vanilla flavored”, or “chocolate flavored”. This is because they don’t contain real vanilla or chocolate.
Check the butterfat (乳脂) content
What differences do butterfat make Besides making ice cream taste less like frozen milk, butterfat gives the product a creamy texture and a good flavor. In order to even be called ice cream in the United States, the product must contain at least 10 percent butterfat, according to the Food and Drug Administration’s regulations. High-quality brands of ice cream usually contain anywhere from 13 to 17 percent butterfat.
Take home the heavier one
Ice cream mixlure8 have air pumped into them as they freeze. Air is essential, or ice cream would be as hard as rock. The legal limit for the amount of air in the US is 100 percent. A more dense (浓的) ice cream will be creamier and will melt more slowly in the mouth.
But how can we tell which ice cream has less air in it Well, one tiling you should know about ice cream is that it’s usually sold by volume, not by weight. The containers may be equal in size, but one ice cream may be denser than another and therefore weighs more.

I can’t prove this, but I’m sure it’s true: nobody on their deathbed ever wished they’d spent more time watching television. Life is short and there are too many activities dial are more important and fulfilling than sitting in front of a television for hours on end. That’s not to suggest you should remove television from your life completely. But I’ve come to see it as something best placed at the edge of life, rather than the center.
I didn’t always feel that way. In fact, there was a period in my life when I wasted nearly six hours of my day matching television and watch till I fell asleep near midnight. Eight hours later, I’d wake up with the TV still on, feeling no more rested than when I went to sleep. When you do the math, it’s rather shocking. Six hours per day adds up to 2,190 hours over the course of a year, which equates to about 91 days.
Although I failed to recognize it at the time, it’s clear now that watching TV had become a full-blown (全部) addiction for me. It was a way that I used to distract myself from the problems, fears and challenges I was refusing to deal with in my life, I used television to distract from the shame, embarrassment and stress I felt about some irresponsible financial decisions and their resulting fallout. I used it to avoid facing my fear of stepping out into the world more fully, connecting with others and pursuing the higher purpose to which my soul was being called. I used it to cope (处理) with boredom and fill the space of an otherwise empty life.
In short, my life was a mess and my self-esteem (自尊) was short, and while TV may have provided a short-term escape from that reality, it kept me locked within it.
Luckily, now I no longer live such a life. So how did I make it

It’s safe to say Yellowstone National Park is still looking good at the ripe old age of 150. The park, which stretches into Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is known for its unique natural scenery, bountiful wildlife, and deep history. It also helped usher (引领) in the broader national park movement in the U.S., according to Chuck Sams, the director of the National Park Service.
“We now celebrate something much bigger than the park itself —the beginning of the national park idea, an idea that spread through the country and around the world, inspiring governments to protect natural and cultural treasures ‘for the benefit and enjoyment of the people,’” he said in a statement.
Yellowstone is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states. Bears, wolves, coyotes, moose, and a large population of small animals can be found in the park. It’s also the only place in the U.S. where bison (野牛) have lived continuously since prehistoric limes. It was looking risky for a period in the 1900s, when die animal was hunted down from a previous high of tens of thousands to less than two dozen. This bison conservation effort continues to this day.
Yellowstone shut its gates in March 2020 due to coronavirus concerns and remained closed for nearly two months. But the park broke attendance records after it reopened. The park reported 4.9 million recreation visits in 2021 — up 28% from 2020 and making it the busiest year on record, July 2021 was die most-visited month in Yellowstone’s history and the first lime visitation exceeded l million visits in a single month. It’s Yellowstone’s natural beauty and deep history that brings millions of visitors each year.
“Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary will be an important moment in time for the world,” said Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly. “It’s an opportunity for us to reflect on the lessons of the old days while focusing our efforts to strengthen Yellowstone and our many partnerships for the future.”
8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Yellowstone National Park
A. Its vast area. B. Its long history.
C. Its significant role. D. Its fantastic views.

A. An increase in the park’s income. B. A growth in bison population.
C. Damage to local ecology. D. Improvement of species richness.

B. It leads people to rethink the idea of the park.
C. Its celebration mil take place as scheduled.
D. Its past shows long-term conservation efforts count.

Adults are often embarrassed about asking for help. Its an act that can make people feel sensitive. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal (泄露) that you may be lost. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about seeking help, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.
Children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. They could still conceive of (想象) situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less smart in front of fellow kids, such as admitting to failure or modestly downplaying successes. Children are therefore acutely aware of several ways in which a person’s actions might make them appear less clever in the eyes of others.
However, a number of solutions can be found to help children. Our Gist instinct may be to motivate seeking help by emphasizing its educational benefits. But reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of die material. If seeking help is understood as a commonplace classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicative (表明) of one’s ability.
Seeking help could even be framed as socially desirable. After all, asking for help often benefits not just die help seeker but also others listening in who have similar questions or struggles.
12. What feature do the adults and young children share
A. They seldom ask for directions.
B They are afraid of being laughed at.
C. They hesitate to seek assistance.
D. They regard themselves as incompetence.
13. What conclusion can be drawn from the research
A. Teachers should praise kids for seeking assistance.
B. Assistance only works when sought privately,
C. It seems possible that children themselves are not struggling.
D. Children care deeply about the way others think about them.
14. How does the author explain the solution in Paragraph 5
A. By making a comparison. B. By referring to an example.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By telling a school story.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why Kids Are Afraid to Ask for Help.
B. Seeking Help Makes Kids Feel Uncomfortable.
C. Unwillingness to Seek Help Stop Academic Progress.
D. How Can We Help Children Overcome the Barrier,

One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn't going anywhere as well. Was she waiting for the bus Did mall(商场)buses come this early when the stores wouldn't be open for hours I felt puzzled. As I drove by, I heard a voice say, "Give her a bottle of water."
"She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her What is wrong with me What is so hard about doing the right thing It's just a bottle of water!"
So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself I was once torn between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.
There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

Emerging (新兴的) economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism clouds them now. People wonder how they will pay debts piling up during the pandemic and how they can grow rapidly. The freshest answer to this problem is the fast-spreading digital revolution. The world’s largest emerging market has already demonstrated the enormous effects of digital technology. As China’s old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.
Now China’s emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. Since 2014, more than 10,000 tech firms have been launched in emerging markets—nearly half of them outside China. From Bangladesh to Egypt, it is easy to find entrepreneurs who worked for Facebook or other US giants before coming home to start their own companies.
How can it be that the emerging market countries are adopting common digital technologies faster than the richer countries One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with stores and services, customers are often comfortable with the providers they have and slow to abandon them. In countries where people have difficulty even finding public facilities, a bank or a hospital, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.
The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground. Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.
The era of rapid digitization has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.
28. Which is a result of digital technology for China
A. Stabilizing its economy. B. Accumulating its debts.
C. Keeping its old industries booming. D. Letting its new industries slow sharply.
29. Why does the author mention Kenyans in paragraph 3
A. To show mature markets’ digital technologies.
B. To show rich nations unwillingly abandon what they own.
C. To show emerging markets accept digital options warmly.
D. To show poor nations have difficulty building public facilities.
30. What plays a key role in the boom of digital businesses in emerging markets
A. The steady annual income.
B. The low cost of launching businesses.
C. The simplified procedure of setting up a business.
D. The thorough removal of the most feared obstacle.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Emerging Economies Are Seeking Their Fortune
B. The Digital Impact Is Huge on Global Productivity
C. Digital Technology Will Save Slow Emerging Markets
D. The Time of Rapid Digitization Is Around the Corner

A study led by Plana-Ripoll, a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark, tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century—what exactly causes mental illness
In the hope of finding the answer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brain's decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.
The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety” has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, recently they’ve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines.
The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions (维度) of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores on each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.
The details are still unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments. The researchers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology (精神病理学), and target them with treatments. Although it might take a while to get there, they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.
32. What aspect of mental illness has been puzzling researchers according to the text
A. Its theories. B. Its symptoms. C. Its categories. D. Its roots.
33. What have the researchers found from the recent study
A. There exist links between mental disorders.
B. Brain function has little to do with mental illness.
C. Mental illness is classified into different categories.
D. Genes are completely different in distinct mental disorders.
34. Which one is more widely accepted by the researchers according to paragraph 4
A. The theory of genetic influences. B. The belief of brain abnormalities.
C. The concept of multiple dimensions. D. The idea of the determined risk factor.
35. What can we learn about mental illness from the text
A. Its genes are too complex to study.
B. Its new drugs can be available soon.
C. Researchers are clear about its details.
D. Seeking for its physiology might help.

The moment they are picked up from kindergarten each day, Tan Xinyan and her schoolmates would run excitedly into a playground with newly installed swings, climbing frames-and slides. Even the winter cold and early nightfall in Beijing cannot change their daily routine. "I'm surprised that such a small change can bring the children so much joy, "says Tan's mother Hu Yufeng, referring to the new facilities in her community.
In 2015, China began to allow all couples to have a second child. In 2021, this was expanded to three children for each family. "Policy design and lawmaking at the top aim to address public concerns over the heavy burdens of bearing, raising and educating children, "says Zhang Guilong, a senior official with the SCNPC.
Having grown up as the only child in her family, the 35-year-old mother always envied those who had sisters or brothers to play with and offer support. However, she hesitated to have a second child, given that her parents and parents-in-law are already in their late 60s, and she and her husband both have busy careers. "We would be irresponsible parents if we could not offer the children the attention and care they need for a happy and healthy childhood, "Hu says.
Now the country is on the move to develop child care services and improve the affordability and availability of preschool education. With a series of policies put into effect and supportive measures being followed, the paid parental leave for mothers and fathers will amount to 10 days, and new dads will enjoy 20 days of paternity leave. Consequently, mothers-to-be aiming for two or three children are expected to feel the same way and more regions throughout China are following suit.
For Hu Yufeng, the creation of a birth-friendly society requires more changes like new swings and slides. As her daughter Xinyan is to attend elementary school next September, Hu is expecting policies that extend further through her daughter's entire journey to adulthood. "Children are the creators of our future, and it's the job of us grown-ups to create an environment to enable this, "she says.
24. Why did Hu Yufeng hesitate to have a second child
A. Because she is too old to give birth to a child.
B. Because she has nobody suitable to look after her new child.
C. Because she can't have any more children by law.
D. Because she and her husband are irresponsible parents.
25. What does the underlined phrase "following suit" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Looking for a proper suit to wear.
B. Following someone to a certain place.
C. Doing something in a similar or the same way.
D. Asking for permission to do something.
26. What's Hu Yufeng's idea about a more birth-friendly society
A. There should be more changes and lasting policies.
B. It is really an impossible task to fulfill.
C. No more work is to be done to achieve this goal.

Millions of youngsters across Europe could suffer permanent hearing loss if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume for more than five hours a week, EU scientists warned Monday.
The scientists' study, requested by the European Commission, attacked the concept of "leisure noise, " saying children and teenagers should be protected from increasingly high sound levels. "There has been increasing concern about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very high volumes without loss of quality, "the Commission, the EU's executive arm, said in a statement.
Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and exposure time. However, more and more young people have been exposed to the significant threat that leisure noise posed to hearing in the past mission experts estimate that between 50 and 100 million people listen to portable music players on a daily basis. If they listened for only five hours a week at more than 89 decibels(分贝), they would already exceed(领先)EU limits for noise allowed in the workplace, they said. But if they listened for longer periods, they would risk permanent hearing loss after five years.
The scientists calculated the number of people in that risk category at between 5 and 10 percent of listeners, meaning up to 10 million people in the European Union. Sales of personal music players have in-creased in EU countries in recent years, particularly of MP3 mission experts estimate unit sales between 184 and 246 million for all portable audio devices just over the last four years, of which MP3 players range between 124 and 165 million.
Loud mobile phones also came under fire. "I am concerned that so many young people. …. . who are frequent users of personal music players and mobile phones at high acoustic(声音的)levels, may be un-knowingly damaging their hearing irrevocably(不可挽回地). "said Meglena Kuneva, the EU's consumer affairs commissioner in her statement.

D. The use of mobile phones of poor quality.
29. What is the writer's attitude towards the frequent use of MP3 players
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
30. What is the safe way to use music players according to the experts
A. Ban the use of portable music players.

Recently, the management of Sina Weibo announced the fine given to the owners of 74 accounts that range from credit points deductions(扣除)to suspension(剥夺)for a month. The decision was made on the basis of the content of 542 micro blogs, which attempted to arouse hate among people with different o-pinions on the Ukraine crisis.
On the same day, another social media platform WeChat called for its users to stay rational(理性的)while commenting on hot issues both at home and abroad. It specifically listed examples such as the rumors of young Ukrainian women fleeing to China or that college students could gain points by fighting in the war in Ukraine.
Concerning international issues or hot social topics, it is natural for people to have different opinions and the right to voice their views, but they should stick to the bottom line that war is not something to joke about, it costs lives.
On social networks, war might be nothing but a few video clips that show the night sky lighted by gunfire and rockets, but in reality war means bloody, homeless and messy. That's why politicians are al-ways highly cautious before starting a war. Concerning the Ukraine crisis, even the sides involved in the war have expressed their willingness to minimize its possible negative effects upon their peoples and avoiding any kinds of disasters as much as possible.
If people cannot be of any help to those who are suffering, they should at least not make jokes or even make up stories at the expense of those caught up in the conflict.
As a spokeswoman of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, the Ukraine question is rather complicated and has deep historical roots. China calls for all sides to prevent the conflict from worsening, so as to contribute to the building of a balanced, effective, sustainable European security mechanism via talks.
Those are rational words that everyone should bear in mind.
32. What's the author's purpose of writing the article
A. To share his experience of commenting on hot issues.
B. To tell the readers how terrible a war is.
C. To remind the readers of the importance of the Internet.

33. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Wars on social networks are the same as those in reality.
B. Wars usually lead to heavy loss of lives and property.
C. Politicians are usually more willing to start wars.
D. All negative effects in a war can be avoided.
34. What's the main idea of the text
A. People should stay off social media.
B. Wars have bad effects in many ways.
C. Social media should be accessible to more people.
D. People should be cautious about commenting publicly.
35. How does the author introduce his subject
A. By stating facts and make suggestions.
B. By showing research results.

The war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin, one of the most expensive films ever made in China, shot to the top of the week-long National Day holiday box office, promoting the domestic market to recover after an unsatisfying box office for more than two months.
Set in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) and headlined by Wu Jing and Jackson Yee, the film tells the story of the Chinese People’s Volunteers soldiers fighting bravely under freezing temperatures in a key campaign at Lake Changjin, or Chosin Reservoir.
With the number of cast and crew reaching an unprecedented scale of more than 12,000, the movie re-creates the serious conflict on the Korean Peninsula amid the extremely cold winter of 1950, when temperatures decreased to the lowest level in 50 years. The movie’s production involved more than 80 visual-effects companies domestically and abroad, with the script revised 37 times.
Breaking over 10 records, including single-day income for a film, the blockbuster has earned around 2 billion yuan ($310 million) since its opening on Sept 30. It accounted for percent of total holiday receipts, which had reached 2.67 billion yuan as of Monday, according to the movie information tracker Beacon.
The film has also gained millions of reviews and clicks on several of the country’s most popular social media platforms, including Sina Weibo and Douyin, with most commenters praising the heart-breaking tale and saying it stirred their national pride, making them want to pay tribute to the CPV heroes who sacrificed their lives. Some netizens said the film reminds them, amid the current China-US tension, to cherish today’s peaceful life.

Wedding Traditions
From asking “Will you marry me ” to saying “l do”, there are a number of traditions around British weddings.
Traditionally, it is the man’s job to propose. He should get down on one knee and offer a ring. However today it’s becoming more common for women to also ask.
Weddings are famous for being stressful. One of the best parts of the preparation is having a “stag” or “hen party” to celebrate the end of your single life. These men-only or women-only parties often take a whole weekend and are lots of fun.
To give them help and support on their big day, the bride and groom usually choose some close friends as their “best man” and “bridesmaids”. These people are also involved in the wedding ceremony. Churches are still a popular wedding location, but today many people prefer non-religious ceremonies in town halls, hotels or even in unusual places such as railway stations.
Traditionally, the bride wears a long, white dress, and the groom a dark suit. During the ceremony, the bride and groom make promises to each other and agree to be husband and wife by saying “I do” and exchanging rings. They are then married and kiss each other while the guests clap and cheer!
Following the ceremony there is the party or wedding reception. After dinner the groom, best man and father of the bride usually give a speech. Then there is the couple’s first dance, followed by everyone dancing until late at night. At some point during the party, the bride should throw her flowers and all the single women try to catch them. The lady who catches the flowers will be the next one to get married!
At the end of the party, the bride and groom leave to go on their honeymoon to enjoy their first holiday as a married couple.

One fall morning a farmer waved good-bye to his family and walked to town to sell their old donkey.
“Be sure to bring back a young, frisky donkey,” his wife called after him.
“And pots of gold!” called his greedy daughter.
When he reached the market, the farmer cried out,“Hee-haw, donkey for sale! Hee-haw, donkey for sale!”
Now, the pumpkin seller wanted a donkey, but he didn’t want to pay much. “I’ll give you one silver coin!” he shouted. Oh, I will need more than that to buy a young, frisky donkey,” said the farmer.
“You're in luck!” said the pumpkin seller. “I have just what you need. This pumpkin is really a donkey egg. Take it home and keep it warm until it hatches, and you will have a new donkey.”
“A new donkey!” exclaimed the farmer. He slipped the coin into his pocket, put the pumpkin under his arm, and plodded home.
“Only one silver coin,” sobbed his greedy daughter.
“Where’s the new donkey ” wailed his wife.
“Here is our new donkey,” cried the farmer, holding up the pumpkin. “All we have to do is keep this donkey egg warm until it hatches.” At night they wrapped the pumpkin in a blanket. In the daytime they sat on the donkey egg to keep it warm.
The first week the farmer’s wife perched on the pumpkin. She sewed new dresses from cloth bought with the silver coin.
Every evening they put their ears against the pumpkin.
“Do you hear any long ears flapping ” they asked one another.
“Not yet,” they answered.
The second week his daughter sat on the pumpkin. She spread her skirt wide to keep the pumpkin warm and read tales about handsome princes.
Every evening they put their ears against the pumpkin.
“Do you hear any hooves tapping ” they asked one another.
“Not yet,” they answered.
The third week the farmer sat on the pumpkin. He drew pictures of a cart hitched to his new donkey.
Every evening they put their ears against the pumpkin.
“Do you hear a faraway hee-haw ” They asked one another.
But they heard no hooves tapping, no long ears flapping, and no faraway “hee-haw.”
Suddenly, the farmer grabbed the pumpkin. “This donkey egg is no good!” he cried.
The farmer ran from the house and threw the pumpkin down a hill. The pumpkin crashed into bushes at the bottom.
The crash woke a long-eared rabbit. The frightened rabbit jumped out of the bushes and hopped away.
The farmer watched the rabbit and wailed, “Oh no! If only we had sat on the donkey egg longer! That little animal would have grown into a beautiful big donkey with giant ears and a long tail!”
Then the farmer went down the hill and picked pumpkin seeds out of the broken pumpkin and carried them home.
“I’ll plant these seeds and grow more donkey eggs,” he told his wife and daughter.
Hee-haw!

What object has the mystical ability to provide you with access to a whole new world, where you can read books, send messages or go online chatting, post pictures on social media platforms or watch TV Dramas anytime What can entertain you day and night Yes, you know the answer-your handphone.
Clearly, the handphone satisfies all our wants and needs, leaving us craving more. And over time as our days with this amazing pearl from technology melt into months and years, we become so intimate with our phones that the nature of our relationship morphs from one of functional to that of parasitic. According to a survey report by ConnectedLife, Singaporean youths spend an average of 3.4 hours a day on their phones. This may not seem like a big number to you, but think: what could you do in three hours Cycling at the park with your family; revising your work; helping a friend with his work. Time wasted is life wasted.
Our phones now take on the antagonist’s role. When we try to engage in other activities, they blink their neon flashing lights non-stop, tempting us to give them one more click. We then watch our grades at school sink, our social skills plummet, our concern for others around us drop, sliced away from the real world, sliding into the digital one. Is the sacrifice worth it No, phone addiction must come to a full stop today. How
One way to stop addiction is to install applications to monitor the time you spend on your phone daily. You will find many mobile applications that help track the exact length of time you spend on your phone, notifying you if you exceed your targeted timing. A wake-up call, these alert you to become more self-aware of how long the daily phone usage is, and if you have already exceeded the limit. Each day you can start afresh with a new target, with a new sense of what you need to do (and what you do not).
Another method is to keep your phone switched off and to place it out of sight. Just as the common saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind,” when you do not see that black screen, you will be less inclined to twitch and itch and check what is on the screen. Why shut it down Well, when your phone is switched off, you would be unable to check it for updates so frequently, and hence less likely to keep pressing the ‘on’ button to read the message your friend just sent you, or the update on who just liked your post on social media. When switched off and kept away, the chances of you succeeding in what you need to focus on are higher. Although there may be a yearning for your phone, keep in mind the many different tasks you need to do instead and work on them. Procrastinate only on using your handphone; when you feel like turning it on and pulling down the notifications bar, smack your hand and tell yourself firmly, “Later!” These seeds of discipline, if grown into habits, will mature into a tree bearing much fruit.
There is one takeaway from the above two methods that effectively cuts the Gordian knot-busy yourself with other activities and push the complaints of the loss of bonding time with Mr. Smartphone out of your mind. After all, these joys are only short-term, and will be your regret in the long run. Now is the time to live your life like a human being. Be alive in this world, full of hopes and dreams, beauty and wonders. Taste the sweetness and bitterness of being human, and watch yourself grow into that tree. Cherish your youth while you can. You do not want to regret.
Oscar Wilde once said, “To live, is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist, that’s all.”
12. What does the word underlined in paragraph 2 mean
A. Develop. B. Transfer. C. Enlarge. D. Decrease.
13. According to the writer what’s our phones to us now
A. Helper. B. Tempter. C. Guidance. D. Enemy.
14. Which method isn’t mentioned in the reading passage
A. Monitor the time you spend on your phone daily. B. Turn off your phone and place it out of sight.
C. Install applications. D. Busy yourself with other activities.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the reading passage
A. What subject can provide you with access to a whole new world Your handphone.
B. How to make a full stop to phone addiction.

Unlike many other exchange students, my school focused on arts such as singing, acting, dancing, and many other talents, so there wasn’t much room for sports. Honestly, in the beginning, I was a little sad because I wanted to participate in basketball. However, I did not let that disappoint me. After a while, I took a pause for some self-reflection. I remembered how much I like to sing even though I don’t think I’m good at it. I then thought to myself, “why not be the one to try acting ”
After my first week, I loved the school! My art classes feel like a break from reality and the scenery at my school makes me feel as though I am in some talent-based American high school movie. Every morning, we are welcomed with the beautiful voices from my teachers. At lunch, we are entertained with musical performances by any student who wishes to sing.
During my second week of school, I was required to perform my first five-minute play with my class partner. I was a bit nervous, but I gathered courage and did it. By chance, a staff person from the school office saw my performance. After school, on my way to the bus, she called me and informed me she had recommended me and some other students to participate in an upcoming two-day workshop. I first thought she was teasing me. When I got home, I found out she’d also sent an email to my host mom.
My host mom is very busy, but she planned her schedule around the activity. My mom picked me up from school and drove me to the workshop which was an hour from my school. After the workshop, we were presented with tickets to watch the play the following day. After the show, I met with the actors, thanked and congratulated them. On our way home, I was smiling so much that my cheeks hurt. I appreciate my host family and school for giving me this experience.

In the United States, people often use large amounts of salt to remove dangerous ice from roads and walkways in the winter. But when the spring arrives, all that salt can really damage plants in the garden. Salt is the chemical sodium chloride.
Salt pulls water from living cells, like plant roots and the healthy ground soil around them. So, spring growth may show up lighter in color than normal, or, in the worst cases, plants may simply die. Rain can wash away much of the salt, permitting some older plants to live. Salt can also be removed by pouring a large amount of water on the ground where plants are growing. But the best action is to simply use less salt.
There are, of course, other things that can be used to cover for sodium chloride. One is the chemical calcium chloride, which does less damage to plants and melts ice faster than salt. It also works when the temperature is below negative 17 degrees Celsius. Salt loses some of its effectiveness at temperatures below negative 12 degrees.
Still, calcium chloride does put chloride ion (氯离子), which plants don’t like, into the soil. It is also more expensive and can do more damage to cars. Calcium magnesium acetate, also called CMA, has become a popular alternative. It is made by combining limestone, a type of rock, and vinegar. It breaks down naturally so it does not damage plants or soil. It stays on roads and does not hurt cars.
CMA does have problems, however. It is most effective at around negative 9 Celsius, just like salt. And it is better at stopping ice from forming rather than removing it. So, it is best placed on a road before the temperature gets very cold. Some materials other than salt—such as sand or very small pieces of wood—can also work against ice. But they can be very messy.
8. What is the poor result by using salt to remove ice
A. All the plants are likely to disappear overnight.
B. The plants may well look much weaker than ever.
C. Some older plants can’t resist being washed away.
D. A large amount of water is trapped on the roads.
9. What does the underlined part mean in the 3rd paragraph
A. Remove. B. Wrap. C. Collect. D. Replace.
10. What is the advantage of calcium chloride
A. It functions well at cold temperatures.
B. It provides chloride ion to the soil.
C. It can melt ice just above minus 17℃.
D. It brings no damage to plants or soil.
11. The author wants to show
A. many materials can be used to remove ice.
B. using less salt is beneficial to your plants.
C. sand and pieces of wood are eco-friendly.
D. too much salt is used on the roads in the USA.
D
Have you been exercising and eating clean, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective,” says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent.” So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts—by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat—your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body Lhs composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
12. What can we know from Dolgan’s words
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
13. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A. You will weigh less.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
14. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds. C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Why do we gain weight
B. How to work out effectively
C. What is the composition of our body
D. Why does my workout cause weight gain
