One day, Kelly's father invited her to visit a marine park with him. When they entered the ocean, the beauty of the underwater world surprised Kelly. Hundreds of kinds of colourful fishes were swimming around her.

Have you ever heard Auld Lang Syne “Auld Lang Syne”means, in English,“old days gone by”. People in Britain usually sing this song at parties and most famously on New Year's Eve.
Auld Lang Syne was actually a poem written by Robert Burns in Scottish in 1788. Robert Burns was born in Scotland in 1759 to a poor family on the farm. His family often had nothing to eat. He had little education and taught himself through self-study. Even from an early age, Burns began to show his writing talent.
His first collection of poems came out when he was 27 , which earned him four hundred dollars, a large sum of money at that time. When the French Revolution (革命)broke out, he supported the revolution and in 1792 he sent four small guns to Paris. He further expressed his support by writing a number of poems. In these poems Burns called on people to fight for a happy life in the future. During the last 9 years of his life, Burns did a great deal of work in collecting and editing traditional Scottish songs. He refused to accept any pay, although he was in bad need of money. He continued the work until he died on 21 July 1796.
He wrote poems in the tradition of Scottish folk songs. Many Burns’ works are of love and friendship. Much of the effect for Burns’ works of art was gathered from his surroundings - the places he travelled to, the culture and the people he loved at that time. His poems speak straight from the heart of a farmer to express the common feelings of millions of working people in simplest words, One of his world-famous works is A Red Red, Rose (1794).
He is still remembered as Scotland's national poet, more than 250 years after his death. A national Burns Night is held in Scotland and in other places throughout the world every year on his birthday, 25 January.

Every day, one in five parents in the UK share a photo of their children on social media (社交媒体). It is a great way for friends and family to keep up to date with each other's lives, especially if they do not live in the same town or country. However, some people think that children should have a say in whether pictures of themselves are posted online. So who can decide whether photos should be posted online or not
Some people think parents should always ask first. Parents may do this for good, but anything posted online may remain there forever. These may be seen by people who the children don't want to share their childhood with. Children should have control of their own photos. Even if the parent thinks it is a nice picture, the children may not agree. Also, they may not want their friends to know what they have been doing in the holidays or who they are spending time with.
For those who hold an opposite opinion, parents are able to decide what is best for their children. They share photos with people they know and trust. Social media is a great way to keep in touch with people and find out what family and friends are up to. Parents know how to set the right privacy settings to make sure the photos are only seen by friends and family. Besides, it is important that children's real names and the location are hidden. Parents also select photos that won't be awkward to the children because almost every child prefers to leave a good impression on others. It's a great way to make memories, too. Since most people don't keep printed photos in albums, social media is the perfect place to store them instead.
37. Why don't children want their photos to be shared by parents online
A. Children disagree to share the photos with all the friends.
B. Children dislike to share their holidays with their friends.
C. Parents don't show the real names of their children online.
D. Parents don't know how to print the online photos in albums.
38. What does the underlined “awkward”probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. Embarrassing. B. Amazing. C. Boring. D. Pleasing
39. When may students allow parents to post the photos of them according to the passage
A. When their personal information is protected.
B. When all the family members are in the photos.
C. When the photos are easy to draw others’ attention.
D. When every friend of the parents’ can see the photos.
40. What is this passage about
A. Teaching parents how to post photos online.
B. Making the children understand their parents.
C. Discussing who has the final say about photos posting online.
D. Talking about the problems between parents and their children.

Why do we love sugar so much
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be hard to stop. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and makes us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a very strong effect. 41 Doctors recommend we all cut down on it.
“Every time I study an illness and try to find out the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diseases. 42
Our bodies are suitable to live on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so their bodies learned to be very good at storing sugar as fat. 43 But today, most people have more than enough. So the thing we needed before may now be killing us.
44 We need to at less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's difficult to avoid. From breakfast to dinner, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
45 Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or encourage students to take more exercise.
So what is the good way to solve it
It is believed that sugar is one of the causes.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar.
D. In this way, it is in fact something harmful to our health.
E. In this way, they had energy stored for when there was no food.
