Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, I suppose you would run away; but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry

Emma Morano, the oldest living person, celebrated her 117th birthday on Tuesday. Friends, neighbors and her doctor joined Morano in her small apartment home in the northern Italian mountain town of Verbania. She blew out three candles on her Birthday cake. Each candle represented a number in her age. She received a greeting from Italy’s president, Sergio Mattarella. He wished her peace and continued good health. Emma Morano is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s. She outlived all her brothers and sisters, including one who died at age 102. Her doctor noted that when Morano was young, people used to say she was weak and often sick. While she is lucky to have lived so long, parts of her life were “not so nice”. She worked in a factory until she retired at age 65.The first man Morano planned to many died in World War One. Then, at age 26, she married another man. She had a son, hut died after the birth, which was a great shock to her. However, she thought she didn’t lose everything. She looked after herself well and was involved in different social activities. Emma Morano says one of her secrets to living long is eating at least two uncooked eggs every day. Her doctor owes Morano’s long life to her unusual diet, her genes and positive outlook on life.

Social media has become a part of our lives. It is the communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal（违法的）for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page.
This is a shame when you consider the learning opportunities that social media offers. At our school, Vernon Christian Elementary school in Vernon, B. C., I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate properly and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet（转发）their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style, attach（粘贴）pictures, and ask questions to invite a response. Students will learn a lot from the process.
Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.
So is it necessary to restrict（限制）students in the social media age Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10, and 43 percent have messaged people they didn’t know by the age of 12.
Of course, primary schools should care about the dangers of social media. Measures（措施）should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school, we have a social media platform with a teacher’s dashboard（信息窗）where all activities can be managed. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments（评论）about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the girl.
Over the past 23 years teaching in British Columbia, I have focused on computing. I therefore take notice of the bad effects of social media on primary students. However, social media offers learning and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we cannot ignore（忽视）the fact elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grow-ups in the future.
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer has made students learn a lot by using social media as a teacher.
B. All the students can’t be allowed to use social media in British Columbia.
C. In Canada, children under 13 have rights to use social media pages freely.
D. The writer has paid less attention to primary students in using social media.
29.The phrase “sharpen up” in the third paragraph means “_________”.
A. Achieve B. improve C. form D. practise
30.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage
A. More schools will encourage students to use social media skillfully.
B. It is necessary to stop the students from using social media at school.
C. Social media at school will make great influence on students’ future.
D. It is so important to keep school websites safe in Information Age.
31.In the writer’s opinion, social media _________ at school.
A. will take the place of other learning styles slowly
B. can help students make a good habit of learning
C. will make students take less interest in learning
D. should be developed more widely among students
D
In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes (性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical (数学的) ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain area.
32.Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article
A. Research on the Brain B. Differences between Men and Women
C. Who are Better, Boys or Girls D. People’s different brains
33.________ men and women think differently.
A. The different brains make B. The different experiences make
C. The influences of society make D. Sex makes
34.According to the article, girls are generally better than boys at _______ in your school.
A. Mathematics B. physics C. English D. Chemistry
35.Which of the following is true
A. The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.
B. The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.
C. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.
D. The right side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls

During last year’s Spring Festival, I organized a badminton match for my large family. I came up this idea because we tended to overeating and failed to do enough exercise during this period these years. "My proposal won support from my uncles , aunts, several cousins or especially my grandparents." When asking by my father why I chose this sport, said almost everyone could play the badminton.
