We are living in a consumer society. What's great about shopping is that it relaxes us. If you are curious about what we buy the most, then take a look at our list of some best-selling consumer products in the world.
Coconut oil
Have you already started using coconut oil? If you haven't, you will probably find a way that suits you because the beauty of coconut oil is that it is very useful. You can use it for your skin, as a lip-balm (润唇膏), makeup remover, body cream, etc. You can use it for cooking, too. This natural organic product is certainly one of the most popular products this year.
Bluetooth speakers
Bluetooth speakers are quite popular lately, and this is due to the fact that they are easy to carry and allow you to enjoy songs from your phone or another device. You can take them anywhere you go, and that’s why they are one of the hottest selling products this year.
Phone power banks
What can we do when there's so much to see on the Internet and so many people to talk to? In fact, we use our smartphones so much that we hardly have the time to charge them at home. That’s why we need phone power banks, which have proven to be one of the hottest selling items. This trending product will charge your phone anywhere anytime.
E-cigarettes
E-cigarettes are the best replacement for regular cigarettes because they are supposed to be less dangerous than old-fashioned smoking. They are sometimes referred to as vaporizers(蒸发器),and they are getting more popular among people who wish to lessen the damaging effects of tobacco.

Fire Capt. Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.
While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish(指甲油), and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.
Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.
The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.
The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.
Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.
After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to: the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.
4.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightened?

Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart(虚拟购物车). When you’ve done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.
Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To encourage people to shop online. B. To tell people of a new concept store.
C. To advise people to work for Amazon. D. To share a happy shopping experience.
9. How can customers take away the products in Amazon Go?
A. Ordering in advance. B. Paying by their credit card.
C. Using the Amazon Go app. D. Opening their own account.
10. In which field are the technologies similar to the one used in Amazon Go?
A. Smartphones. B. Automatic door.
C. Electric bikes. D. Self-driving cars.
11. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?
A. When Amazon Go opens. B. Where Amazon Go lies.

Dry Ice is a unique substance which has many uses. Essentially, dry ice is frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1924, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as "Dry Ice", which is what it is popularly called today.
At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase(阶段)which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.
Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isn't available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.
If you've ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated (挥发的)CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.
Another interesting use for this substance is to bait(诱杀)insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.
Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 1960s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.
12.Frozen CO2 gets its name of "Dry Ice" mainly because____
A. we can't melt it and it doesn't get wet
B. it is very easy to make it dry
C. it looks like ice at a low temperature
D. it is solid like ice at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit
13.The underlined word "frostbite" in the second paragraph probably means___
A. the shakes caused by cold B. damage caused by freezing
C. a fever caused by being cold D. a sharp pain caused by bums
14.According to the passage, dry ice can be used to _____.
A. freeze most of food in the next century B. increase the production of farming
C. make a vivid fog effect on stages D. help to improve the environment
15.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Dry ice on Mars is near the polar.
B. Not much dry ice has been found on Mars.
C. The polar ice cap of Mars is unique.
D. No frozen CO2 on Mars can be melt.

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
●Try physical activity.
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 16.
●Take care of yourself.
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress. 17.
●Make time for yourself.
18. Don’t forget, play can be just as important as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
●19 .
Stress can result from disorganization (杂乱无章) and a feeling that “there’s so much to do ,and not enough time.” Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and, as a result , you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time. 20. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
A. Bear in mind the most important task.
B. Schedule time for both work and play.
C. Check off each task as it is completed.
D. Make a list of the things you need to do.
E. For example, you could take your job as your hobby.
F. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
G. Running, walking, or playing tennis are just some of the activities you might try.

It is good to see that today more people have realized the importance exercising and are playing sports regular. But the problem is that there are not enough sports facilities to meet the public growing demand. I love playing basketball and often play with my friends on weekends. Therefore, it is difficult to rent a basketball field and possible to find a free one. It seems that all courts in the city were always full. Weather permitted, we can play in outdoors. But on rainy days or in winter we have to turn to indoor courts. There are not much in my city, and the charge is high. The government should build more public sports facilities, so easier access will encourage more people participate in sports.

Dear Julie,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t perform well in the Ancient Chinese Poetry Recitation Contest and that you’re feeling discouraged.
To be honest, as a foreigner, you did well enough, which surprised the judges present. Though the result doesn’t live up to your expectation, you shouldn’t lose heart. Instead, you are supposed to analyze the cause of your failure to your expectation, you shouldn’t lose heart. As far as I am concerned, you didn’t get well prepared for it and you need more time to practice. With some adjustments and improvements, you are sure to perform excellently next time.
I hope you can cheer up and get more practice. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to turn to me.
Yours,
Li Hua
