A fifth grader walked by them and saw the poster in the library. He read the poster and asked,"Why? Why should you win?"and then walked away.
Tim had never thought about why before. He knew that he was popular in his grade and a lot of students would vote for him.
"I suppose you should have some changes in the poster",Zack suggested,"More break time? Hey, how about that new coffee machine in the boys' changing room you're always talking about?"

如何使用智能手机才能降低患癌症风险
Nowadays, cellphones are part of our lives. Many people have cellphones. They can help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cellphones too often may cause cancer(癌症). It's reported that people who use a cellphone for 10 years or more may get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce(减少) the risk of cancer:
When using your cellphone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don't put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep.
When you’re on the cellphone, use the speaker(扬声器). In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact(接触) with radiation_you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
Change ears when you're using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages, but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
Do not use your cellphone when the signal(信号) is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or on a train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.
( )1.According to the text, using cellphones too much may cause ________.
A.toothache B.cancer C.heart disease
( )2.The underlined word “radiation” in paragraph 4 probably means “______” in Chinese.

Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita,it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two,she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child,she loved coloring in her coloring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children,so they took away her coloring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and coloring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old,she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class,her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honor,but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was,but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She_just_cannot_imagine_doing_anything_else_that_would_bring_her_such_joy_and_satisfaction.
Today,Alexandra is a full?time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
( )1. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?
A. At the age of eight.

From Asia to America and everywhere in between,Swing—an energetic form of dance that includes six?step and eight?step rhythms(节奏)—has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback,Swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played,and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide,it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz,the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop—a style of dance that is best known for a break away or “swing out” move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called,the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh—the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋) —which was titled,“Lindy Hops the Atlantic”. Then the watcher announced that the “Lindy Hop” was the name of the dance,and it has stuck since then.
In 1926,the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor,the Savoy became a big success overnight,attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years,the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity,as young people of all racial(种族的) backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong.

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors(感应器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的)decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
1. When using a driverless car, you need only ????.
A. read the road signs carefully????????? ? B. check the cameras
C. put the address into the computer??? D. remember the directions
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the ????of driverless cars.
A. instructions????????? B. standards?????????? C. advantages ???????D. tests
3. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “??? “.
A. possibly????????? B. successfully???????? C. especially?????? D. naturally
4. What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?
A. They’ll cause more accidents.????????????B. They’ll be less expensive.
C. They’ll use less energy.???????????????????? D. They’ll run much faster.

(2019中考保健与健康类选练)
There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false(虚假的) ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting an weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles(肌肉) will turn into fat. Here are some more myths.
I’ll never lose weight--I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes(基因) for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume(消耗)? more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately(精确地).
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced and varied(各种的) program that's fun as well as progressive(不断进步的). If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga(瑜伽), try a tai chi class.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury(伤害). You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear quickly. If they don't, rest and ask for medical advice.
1. What does the writer think about being fat?
?? A. It is the family genes that make people fat.
?? B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
?? C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
?? D. It is the result of people's unbalanced lifestyle.
2. According to the writer, how can we make exercise more interesting?
?? A. By taking all kinds of exercise.????? ?????? B. By choosing simple exercise.
?? C. By doing regular exercise.????? ???????????? D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.
3. What is the writer's opinion about "No pain, no gain" in exercising?
?? A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.
?? B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
?? C. Pain in exercise is a precondition(前提) for reaching your goal.
?? D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.
4. The underlined words “adapting to” means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 适应???????????????? B.顺从???????????????????????? C. 摆脱??????????????? D. 陷入
5. What is the purpose of the passage?
?? A. To show the importance of keeping fit.
?? B. To clarify(澄清) some misconceptions(误解) about fatness and exercise.
?? C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.
D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.

That year,I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However,it was difficult to get back to normal(正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything,walking,talking,and yes,maths.
To help me with that task,Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by,I made progress.
I remember very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays,sat with me at the kitchen table,and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents,17 cents,63 cents. It was challenging,but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half,I had progressed a lot,both in body and mind,to return to school. Seven years later,I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As years went by,I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily,one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke(中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed,unable to speak or know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket,dropped them on her bed,and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress everyday and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.
One day,I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly,“Happy New Year to you and your family,Michael. Thank you for everything you've done for me.” I quickly said,“Thank you for everything you've done for me.”

(民族风情及节日文化) (2018·江苏南京)
Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years,it is developed from absorbing(吸收) many other dramatic forms,mostly from the local drama “Huiban”,which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的) art integrating music,performance,literature,aria,and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing,dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer,for example,neither dances nor speaks on stage;there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play;in a dance drama,the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama,including Beijing Opera,is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts,singing,dancing and acrobatics.
In addition to its presence in China,Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang,one of the most famous performers(表演者) of all time,was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled(困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time;but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.

The World’s Water Shortage
??? The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent(百分比)of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources(资源). And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers(冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
??? However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing(增加)rapidly-almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid(避免)a severe(严重的)worldwide water shortage later on.
??? We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.
??? Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying(净化)plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.
??? But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves(贮备)of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
??? If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
? 1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.
??? A. 3??????????? B. more than 3??????? C. less than 3??? ??? D. 97
? 2. Which of the following statements is Not true?
??? A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.
??? B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.
??? C. There will be no water shortage in the future.
??? D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.
? 3. To reuse water, we should __________.
??? A. treat it with chemicals
??? B. use it only once
??? C. send it out into a sewer system
??? D. make it flow into underground tanks
? 4. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.
??? A. icebergs and glaciers

In his opinion, many teenagers depend(依赖) too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "cleaning up your room or even dressing yourself properly.

These days the subject of safety on campus is talked about quite often. Some students’ mobile photos are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running motorbikes or cars.
These problems are common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students don’t take care of their own things. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fighting. And thirdly, the campus guards don’t carry on their duties well..

It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining(抱怨)about it, three people appeared at my desk — a tired woman and two children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
“Yes,” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.
But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装) to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
The family huddled(蜷缩)together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency(急诊)”.
We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angel(天使).”

The opening ceremony(开幕式) of the 31st Olympic Games was held at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on the evening of Friday, August 5th, 2016.
Following the tradition, the ceremony introduced each country that would compete in the Olympics. Brazil also did something different. They used this opportunity to call for more attention to climate change and the deforestation (砍伐森林) of the Amazon.
With part of the opening ceremony focused on our planet, organizers found a way for athletes to leave their marks. Each athlete was asked to plant seeds that would be planted in the Athletes Forest in Rio and eventually grow into trees in a few years.
As they entered the stadium, each received a seed to plant a native tree of Brazil. There were 207 kinds—one for each country in the Games. The children with each delegation (代表团) carried a tree as well.
The metal towers in which the athletes planted the seeds were moved to the middle of the stadium and formed the shape of the Olympic rings. The rings’ color—all green—was meant to serve as reminding that replanting forests should be important.
According to the official program, this was the first time in Olympic Opening Ceremony history the athletes joined in an action upon entering the stadium.

2. What did Brazil do that is different from the tradition during the opening ceremony?

Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements(测量) of the runners. “We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to recreate summer or winter and we’ve got them to run 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”
They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And it’s much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found their perception of heat was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface.
Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
1.According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that .?
A.people should run 10,000 meters in winter
B.running in winter is good for your heart
C.people who run in winter like to wear thick clothing
D.running in cold conditions is better than in warm conditions
2.The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 probably means .?
A.students that are being discussed
B.classes that you study at school
C.people that are being tested
D.runners that the artists paint
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Running can help us lose heat.
B.Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body.
C.The heat can’t damage our body.
D.The body does not have to work to pump blood.
4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce a research on running by Brewer.
B.To explain why running in winter is difficult for people.
C.To encourage people to run outside during winter months.
D.To advertise the new websites on running he created.

My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job,and live a quiet,pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
“I want to be a sailor and go to sea,” I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
“Please don't go,” my father said. “You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I love him,and he was unhappy,I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn't forget,and about a year later,I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me,“We are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?”
On September 1st,1651,I went to Hull,and the next day we sailed for London.
But a few days later,there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous,and the ship went up and down,up and down. I was very ill,and was very afraid.
“Oh,I don't want to die!” I cried. “I want to live! If I live,I will go home and never go to sea again!”
The next day the wind stopped,and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
“Well,Robinson,” my friend laughed,“How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad.”
“What?” I cried. “It was a terrible storm.”
“Oh,that wasn't a storm,” my friend answered,“just a little wind. Forget it,come and have a drink.”
After a few drinks with my friend,I felt better. I forgot about the danger,and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!
