Title: Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives.
When you couldn’t open your mouth till the first two years on the earth, inner voice helps you understand things. Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.
It justifies (判断) what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.
Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.
Inner voice is always right most of the time, because it knows us better than others and even ourselves. It’ s good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you don’t follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. It’ s our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.

阅读下面的短文，在思维导图中填入恰当的内容完成阅读摘记。
Tape-Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer (凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife’ s death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery (疑案) by noticing a tiny pin (别针) on a policeman’s uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.]

The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared.
Search results are filtered(过滤), so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.
Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too — with an extra robot picture.
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content written in a simple way. These results are also chosen and checked.
Results on the eighth and onwards pages are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.
Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures(缩略图)to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for ＂meow meow＂. Google produces pages for information about a drug(毒品)that has ＂meow meow＂ as its nickname(绰号), but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even with some cartoon pictures.
The company explained, ＂Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.＂

Passage 4(2019 ?湖北省鄂州市)
American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select (挑选) their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many subjects, or you’ll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30–50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand anywhere you like.

Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.

Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it.

Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.

When you go for a run outside, chances are that you’ll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you’re part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word ＂logging＂ is the Swedish phrase ＂plocka upp＂( pick up) and the English word ＂Jogging＂(running slowly)put together.

Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.

The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois, there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln’s stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.
At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him ＂Honest Abe＂.

Oct.16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It’s used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A big number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. Food shortage(匮乏)is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts(干旱)and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average(平均的)person throws away 50 kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.
That is over1, 300, 000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
So think twice next time you want to throw away food. By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant. If you can’t eat all you order, take the rest home. Don’t be too picky about food so that you don’t leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源)are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.

It’s said that both work and play are important for a developing mind. Though it may be important for everyone to work hard, it is also important to relax from time to time.
Last year, the average amount of leisure time(人平休闲时间) for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017’s average of 2.27 hours according to the China Media Group (CMG).
CMG’s surveys focus on the happiness of China’s population. The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 100,000 households (家庭) across the country, the Paper noted.
This year’s survey also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet, while 55 percent like to watch TV and 46 percent prefer shopping.
What’s more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things. For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.
In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income(收入) for Chinese people, CGTN noted.
However, it is still important to work as well. Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported.
CMG has also found that over the last 10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. In 2018, over half of Chinese people felt pleased with their living condition.
The Surveys about Working and Relaxing
1. The average amount of leisure time for Chinese people was _________ in 2018 than in 2017.

Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential(潜在的)dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were told to sleep in a lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms(节奏)of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in the daytime.
"At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze(分析)things, even though you don’t realize the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens — if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert(警惕的)"
More surprisingly, this situation is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake.
If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
Why can’t you get to sleep?

This kind of dancing is called Square Dancing. It seems that if you go around China, you can see these dancing everywhere in the public space. Also in foreign countries, Chinese Square Dancing is very famous. On January 14, 2015, Chinese seniors danced on the square out of the stadium(体育馆) where a soccer game between China and Uzbekistan(乌兹别克斯坦) was being held during the Asian Cup in Brisbane(布里斯班).
But in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’ t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.
Most people think that Square Dancing should be stopped. It disturbs people and makes people feel annoyed. But do you know why these women choose Square Dancing?
For seniors in China, to dance together is a way to keep healthy and be social. With most of them old-aged, they have lots of free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work and their kids have left. They will feel lonely and bored after retiring(退休). So the people who want to keep healthy and stay away from loneliness dance together. I like seeing these women enjoy themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

Title: Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives.
When you couldn’t open your mouth till the first two years on the earth, inner voice helps you understand things. Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.
It justifies (判断) what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.
Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.
Inner voice is always right most of the time, because it knows us better than others and even ourselves. It’ s good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you don’t follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. It’ s our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.

Tape-Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer (凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife’ s death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery (疑案) by noticing a tiny pin (别针) on a policeman’s uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.]

The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared.
Search results are filtered(过滤), so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.
Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too — with an extra robot picture.
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content written in a simple way. These results are also chosen and checked.
Results on the eighth and onwards pages are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.
Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures(缩略图)to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for ＂meow meow＂. Google produces pages for information about a drug(毒品)that has ＂meow meow＂ as its nickname(绰号), but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even with some cartoon pictures.
The company explained, ＂Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.＂

Passage 4(2019 ?湖北省鄂州市)
American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select (挑选) their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many subjects, or you’ll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30–50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand anywhere you like.

Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.

Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.

Doing "Clean "Exercise
When you go for a run outside, chances are that you’ll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you’re part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word ＂logging＂ is the Swedish phrase ＂plocka upp＂( pick up) and the English word ＂Jogging＂(running slowly)put together.
What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. While collecting rubbish, loggers learn to classify(分类) and deal with it correctly, too.
Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809. His mother died when he was ten years old. Later, his family moved to Illinois and his father remarried. The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois, there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln’s stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.
At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him ＂Honest Abe＂.
During the following years, he took a more active part in polities. Soon he was not only a highly respected lawyer but also a well-known politician. He was elected the sixteenth president of the United States in 1860, and in the next year the Civil War broke out.
The Civil War was between the southern states that wanted to leave the Union and form their own country, and northern states that wanted to keep all the states as one country. The southern states wanted to keep the laws that allowed them to own slaves. Both the northern states and President Lincoln wanted to get rid of those laws. On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended and all slaves were set free.

Oct.16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It’s used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A big number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. Food shortage(匮乏)is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts(干旱)and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average(平均的)person throws away 50 kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.
That is over1, 300, 000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
So think twice next time you want to throw away food. By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant. If you can’t eat all you order, take the rest home. Don’t be too picky about food so that you don’t leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源)are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.

It’s said that both work and play are important for a developing mind. Though it may be important for everyone to work hard, it is also important to relax from time to time.
Last year, the average amount of leisure time(人平休闲时间) for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017’s average of 2.27 hours according to the China Media Group (CMG).
CMG’s surveys focus on the happiness of China’s population. The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 100,000 households (家庭) across the country, the Paper noted.
This year’s survey also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet, while 55 percent like to watch TV and 46 percent prefer shopping.
What’s more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things. For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.
In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income(收入) for Chinese people, CGTN noted.
However, it is still important to work as well. Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported.
CMG has also found that over the last 10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. In 2018, over half of Chinese people felt pleased with their living condition.
The Surveys about Working and Relaxing
1. The average amount of leisure time for Chinese people was _________ in 2018 than in 2017.

Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential(潜在的)dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were told to sleep in a lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms(节奏)of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in the daytime.
"At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze(分析)things, even though you don’t realize the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens — if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert(警惕的)"
More surprisingly, this situation is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake.
If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
Why can’t you get to sleep?
Introduction

＂USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?＂ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered (考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.?
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed?in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused.

D(2016 ? 黄冈实验中学九年级月考)
Do you have the following experiences?
★When you talk through a park, a noise from the background is becoming louder and clearer. Then you can find that a group of women who are gathering at the side of path. In the cold breeze(微风) of winter, they’ re moving their arms and legs to rhythm(节奏).
★You want to sleep late into noon on weekend mornings, but find it impossible because the seniors(年长者) have been dancing since the early hours, make a lot of noise.
★Sometimes, you want to have a rest or take a walk with friends in a quiet park, only to be interrupted (被阻止/打断的) by music associated(联系/联盟/陪伴) with a group dancing. It is really an annoying problem.
This kind of dancing is called Square Dancing. It seems that if you go around China, you can see these dancing everywhere in the public space. Also in foreign countries, Chinese Square Dancing is very famous. On January 14, 2015, Chinese seniors danced on the square out of the stadium(体育馆) where a soccer game between China and Uzbekistan(乌兹别克斯坦) was being held during the Asian Cup in Brisbane(布里斯班).
But in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’ t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.
Most people think that Square Dancing should be stopped. It disturbs people and makes people feel annoyed. But do you know why these women choose Square Dancing?
For seniors in China, to dance together is a way to keep healthy and be social. With most of them old-aged, they have lots of free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work and their kids have left. They will feel lonely and bored after retiring(退休). So the people who want to keep healthy and stay away from loneliness dance together. I like seeing these women enjoy themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

10. Advice/ Suggestion(s)/ Tip(s) 【解析】句意：建议。根据表格右边内容“在新地方住时，要带个枕头或住在类似的房间里。”可知是对于如今解决初夜效应给出的建议。故答案是Advice/ Suggestion(s)/ Tip(s)。
