A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.
At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things.“All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,”Jeff Okrepkie said. He
escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园)and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.

A．High-speed wind and dry air.
B．12 fires happened at the same time

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.
For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists (骑行者) between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. This group was called the“ cyclists”
Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. This group was called the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol (酒精) and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems (免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find the exercise that we like in our lives.
28．How did the researchers carry out the study
A．With imagination. B．Through discussion.
C．By comparison D．By reasoning
29．Which of the following is a result of the research
A．The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.
B．The non-exercisers gained weight easily.
C. The cyclists kept thin.
D．The non-exercisers usually had health problems.
30．Which is an unexpected result for the researchers
A．The cyclists had the normal aging process
B．The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.
C．The cyclists lost nearly all their fat
D．Everyone needed exercise in their lives,
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Healthy People Need More Exercise.
B．Take Exercise, the Harder, the Better
C．Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging.
D．A Lifetime of Exercise Slows the Aging Process.

Plastic is used for food packaging(包装) and water bottles as well as many other things you use every day. Look around, plastic is all over! Sadly, much of plastic waste is thrown into waste lands or washed into the sea, breaking down into particles. Particles are often taken in by animals or fish. Unless you are the one who only eats vegetables, it is highly likely that you are also eating this plastic. Besides, when you drink soft drinks from a plastic bottle, you also have the danger of drinking a dangerous chemical. It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.
A plastic bottle can break down into enough small pieces on each seaside in the whole world. They have also been discovered to collect in large amount in sea locations where winds and currents(洋流) are weak.
How do you help to solve the problem Use a stainless steel(不锈钢) bottle. It is an obvious way to deal with the problem that has been ignored for many years. Many countries become increasingly more familiar with the pollution that is damaging the environment. It’s easy to understand why steps are being taken to discover things to replace the plastic.
If you use a stainless steel water bottle, you can help cut the number of using plastic bottles, which are thrown away and break down gradually. It may even take 1000 years to fade away. In a word, even by doing something as small as changing your water bottle to a stainless steel one, you could make the world a better place to live for future generations.
What does the underlined word “particles” mean in paragraph 1
Tiny pieces of plastic.
Healthy drinks to humans
New bottles.
Useful materials.
What bad influence do plastic products have on people according to the text
They change people’s eating habits.
They affect people’s ways of choosing food.
They change people’s attitudes to soft drinks.
They may make people suffer from some kinds of diseases.
Which of the following does the author want to express
Winds in the sea are often weak in some seasons.
Chemicals of animals in the sea are easy to collect.
Many countries are suffering the pollution of plastic.
Plastic will completely be replaced by other things in the future.
What is the text mainly about
A major use of plastic bottles.
A large amount of plastic on the seaside.
The future development of plastic bottles.
The bad influence of plastic bottles and its solution.

Laughter is the best medicine. It helps solve problems, improve relationships, and support both physical and emotional health. 36 Read the following suggestions and learn to make laughter part of your life.
Laugh at yourself. Laughing at yourself is one of the biggest differences between happy people and unhappy people. It communicates to both you and the people around you that it’s no big deal. So be brave enough to share your embarrassing moments. 37 When something negative happens, try to make it a humorous story that will make you and others laugh.
38 Keep a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a funny poster in your office. Choose a computer screensaver that makes you laugh. Frame photos of you and your family or friends having fun. All of these are good resources of laughter.
Spend time with funny people. Even if you don’t consider yourself a humorous person, you can still seek out new friends who are ready to laugh and who can make you laugh.
These are people who find humor in everyday events. Their playful points of view and laughter are contagious (传染的). 39
Don’t go a day without laughing. Set aside 10 minutes each day to do something that amuses you. You can watch some humorous videos or look at some funny photos online. 40 Try thinking back to a joke you heard or read, or a comedy you watched.
As long as you have a joyful heart and purposely make time to laugh, you’ll be amazed at how differently you will begin to view your job, your family, your relationships and yourself.
A. Surround yourself with amusing reminders to lighten up.
B. If you can’t find any humor at hand, recall something funny.
C. When you are around them, you’ll be more likely to laugh too.
D. But not everyone is good at laughing genuinely and accurately.
E. Try to schedule this right after the most stressful part of your day.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
