A
Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know How do we know, for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun
The key to these questions is "evidence", which means the facts, signs or objects that make you believe something is true.
Sometimes evidence means actually(实际地) seeing(or hearing, feelings, smelling ...) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help. The "evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope(望远镜) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling ...) is called an observation.
Often evidence isn't just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!) actually observed it. But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect. If a person's fingerprints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.
Prediction(预测) helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.
People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.
What can we do about all this When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: "Is there any evidence for that " And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: "What kind of evidence is there for that " Remember, always think carefully before you believe a word.
( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A: What you see directly is real evidence.
B: Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.
C: People should always believe their inside feelings.
D: Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.
( )2. Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 4
A: To explain what prediction is. B: To tell what observation is called.
C: To introduce how detectives work. D: To prove evidence is not just observation.
( )3. The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 5 means _______.
A: finally B: probably C: completely D: luckily
( )4. What's the best title of the passage
A: Evidence speaks B: Scientists make predictions
C: Inside feelings help get ideas D: Observation offers the facts
B
One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube( underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day , repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails--trying to draw her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
It broke my heart and got me wondering--what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl
Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.
This is not an isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves", that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.
( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The girl failed to attract her mother's attention.
B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.
C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.
D. Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.
( )2. The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means .
A. spreading fast B. happening once
C. increasing quickly D. appearing suddenly
( )3. In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express .
A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C. the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D. the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
( )4. What's the best title of the passage
A. Middle-aged parents B. A scene on the tube
C. Technology slaves D. Mindless phone games

Square dancing has been popular for quite a few years. Its lovers believe it is good for elderly people's health But in recent years, it has many haters as well. They think too loud music or dancing too late into night influences people's life. Should square dancing be supported or limited Here are opinions from two groups of people.
For Square dancing is a helpful way for elderly people to stay fit. Square dancing has become an important socializing opportunity(社交机会) for those parents whose grown children have left to start their own families. If governments provide large places where people can dance a bit far from living blocks, most of the complaints will go away.
Against Square dancing in public may not be acceptable to all elderly people. Some of them hate the noise caused by such kind of dancing. Square dancing is something that elderly people themselves invented. They just want to be left by themselves to do what they like. There are some other healthier ways to exercise for people from different age groups and with different health .situations. Square dancing is not a good idea for everyone.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。
Square dancing has been a hot topic in daily life. People have been discussing it should be supported or limited. Lovers believe it can help elderly people stay healthy. Those parents who live can communicate with others while dancing.
If people are with large places by governments and they can dance a bit far away from living blocks, few neighbours will complain. Haters say the noise caused by square dancing is the main why they are against it. They think square dancers just do what they like to do without others' feelings. And square dancing is not the only good way for all people to exercise.

Everyone wants to find happiness. But sometimes looking for happiness can be as hard as looking for lost treasure. Just when you think you nearly reach it, something unexpected happens. This may puzzle(使困惑) you a lot. Here are some tips for helping you find happiness.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you depend, on one thing or one person to make you happy, it may be impossible. You need to enlarge your circle
of friends and activities.
Follow your heart. When we go against our own thoughts, we usually feel sad. Follow your strong feeling and let it guide you toward people and things that will improve your life. Day by day, you will be happier than before.
Organize your ideas. Many people push away happiness when they think too much. Don't keep everything in head. Try making a list of the things that seem too big to manage on your own. You may find the list isn't as long as you thought. You can do most of the things by yourself.
Look at your life as a whole. Most of the things that prevent us from feeling happy .are just some little things. Remember life is always going on, and whatever the little thing is, it will end.
Remember your values(价值观). We all have a value system, a way we have decided to go through life, which makes us feel like a good person. The important thing is to remember your values when life becomes hard. Keeping your values strong will help create happiness.
Happiness can be hard to feel at times, so don't think there is something wrong with you if you don't feel it. The ways above will help you to feel more of it.

Red Ribbon（丝带）Week is held every year, usually during the last week of October. It started with a police officer named “Kiki” Camarena. He was sent to Mexico in order to investigate(调查) a Mexican drug company and stayed there for four and a half years. His efforts helped put a stop to several major drug making companies. So the bosses wanted to murder the men who brought them down. When Camarena left his office for a lunch date with his wife on February 7, 1985, a car drove up and kidnapped(绑架) him, and a month later he was killed. At that time he was only 37 years old.
Shortly after his death, people in Camarena’s town began wearing red ribbons in his honor. Then Camarena’s high school friend, Henry Lozano, started Camarena Club. Hundreds of people joined the club and promised to be drug-free（远离） in order to honor the death of Camarena. And then schools in several states began to join in. Now, at the end of every October, millions of Americans wear red ribbons in memory of “Kiki” Camarena. So, in 1988, the first national Red Ribbon Week was founded in America.
Red Ribbon Week has become the largest drug education and prevention organization in the United States. It encourages communities to stand up against drugs and it encourages children to make a promise not to take drugs in their life.
