Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区)rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities.
In Qingdao, a coastal(海岸的) city in Shangdong, up to 10, 000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of "Airparking", an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou
Through a special app, users can either share or order a parking place. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit(限制) on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average(平均的) parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6, 500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers
6.In the first paragraph, the writer points out that ________.
A.we should find a good way to use parking spaces in big cities
B.prices of parking spaces are rising quickly in China
C.many people want to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays
D.it’s difficult to find parking space in central business districts
7.The underlined word idle probably mean ________ in Chinese in this passage.
A.无所事事的 B.停顿的 C.懒惰的 D.闲置的
8.If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.

C.use a special app D.share your personal information
9.How much should you pay if you use a shared parking space for 5 hours in Qingdao
A.15 yuan. B.20yuan. C.25yuan. D.30yuan.
10.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
A.shared parking will probably become more and more popular
B.Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai
C.it’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays
D.shared parking is more expensive than traditional parking service

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.
Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!
If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
11.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon
A.Because it’s very hot in summer.
B.Because you eat too much for lunch.
C.Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
D.Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
12.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap
A.If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.
B.Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
C.You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
D.You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.
13.What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph
A.Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
B.Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer.
C.If you take naps every day, you’ll have less risk of heart disease.
D.All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
14.What can we infer(推断) from the passage
A.You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
B.Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C.If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:30 pm.
D.Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later.
15.What would be the best title for the text
A.Just For a Rest. B.All For a Nap.
C.A Special Sleep Pattern. D.Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space For many kids, staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an astronaut. Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet!
Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space, it would be a lot of work, too. Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation.
Once you are in space, nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out. You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself alive. Let's call these things "inputs", including food, water and oxygen. Every input creates an output. If you open a box of cookies for breakfast, what will you do with the box when it's empty Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you. ________ Your body will also output food and water. Since nothing can leave the spaceship, you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes.
Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)! It's true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe. However, plants have other input needs. If you take a banana tree with you, you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive. You must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks-the banana peel.
See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and your future Not only do you have to think about all the things you'll need, you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they may create.
16.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.It's difficult to be an astronaut. B.It's boring to live on the moon.
C.It's relaxing to stare at the stars. D.It's challenging to travel in space.
17.What do we know about the input in space
A.It will make astronauts sleepy. B.It is quite important to astronauts.
C.It only means things to eat and drink. D.It can help astronauts deal with rubbish.
18.Which of the following can be put in ________
A.Isn't it possible to cook cookies in space
B.Would you like to have cookies for breakfast
C.Can you think of a way to cut down on the waste output
D.Would you like to cook your favorite dishes in space
19.What can be the best title for the passage

Stepping into a bookstore, you might notice shelves labelled (标注着) “self-help”. You may not know what these books are about. In fact, more people are turning to self-help books for advice these days. You can’t imagine (想象) that sales of these books in the UK reached about three million last year.
Self-help books are usually written by some famous writers, psychologists (心理学家) or successful businessmen. They teach you what to do when you have problems in your life—for example, how to get along with your classmates or coworkers, how to manage your time well or how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK, said the social environment might be one reason why more people are reading self-help books. Recently, the social environment has become more and more stressful (有压力的) . “Some people come into the bookstore because they’re really tired of things. They’re looking for something relaxing to calm themselves, “Paul said. Besides, younger readers—such as people born after 2000—seem to understand their own problems better, according to British psychologist Caroline Beaton. This means they’re more willing to improve themselves by reading self-help books.
Self-help books were something people laughed at in the past. Many people didn’t take chicken soup stories or “success theory” books seriously. But now they’re becoming increasingly attractive (有吸引力的) to people.
From my point of view, whatever the reason for the growing interest in self-help books is, it’s good to know that help is at hand if we need it. But do these books truly help us Read one and find out.
