Meatball is our cat. He was once a homeless cat. He came to our home by chance. Jordan loved him, so we kept him.

One night in January, the temperature was unusually low. Meatball stood at the door,meowing to go out. It was too cold outside, so I didn't let him out. But the next morning, I couldn't find him. I asked Jordan if he had seen him. Jordan said, "He was meowing by the door last night, so I let him out."
I was angry, but I had no time to argue with Jordan. I rushed out and finally found Meatball under my car. He was weak. I drove him to the vet's (兽医诊所) with Jordan.Luckily, the vet said he just had some frostbite (冻伤) and would get better soon. Both Jordan and I relaxed.

We have seen lots of science fiction movies about aliens. People travel to other stars and even fight with aliens in the movies. But are there real aliens in the universe? Most of us think that is impossible, but the answer of some scientists is yes. They have been searching for aliens in outer space for many years.
Some scientists use radio telescopes(射电望远镜) to search for aliens in space. In order to find aliens, they have worked hard for over half a century, but so far they have found nothing. Then some scientists guessed aliens might not want to connect with us, but aliens would answer our messages. So they sent radio signals into the universe. They hope one day they will be picked up by alien technology. These scientists want to prove (证明) that we are not alone in the universe.
But what should we do if the"alien phone" rings one day? Should we answer it? StephenHawking, the famous physicist, thought it could be dangerous to connect aliens. He said that the main purpose of aliens' visiting the Earth could be to compete for our resources. But other scientists think we have no need to worry. David Morrison, a NASA scientist, said, "If an alien radio signal reaches the Earth from a planet thousands of light years away, then they almost surely have solved all the problems including the shortage of resources. Maybe they are much smarter than us, and would like to help us? I think we can try to connect them."
(1)、What does the underlined word"they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A、Radio telescopes. B、Phone calls. C、Radio signals. D、Fiction movies.(2)、Why do scientists work hard to find aliens?A、Because they believe aliens can answer our messages. B、Because they think aliens want to connect with us.

C、They can't be found. D、They have been on the Earth.(4)、What's David Morrison's attitude(态度) towards connecting with aliens?A、Uninterested. B、Worried. C、Unclear. D、Supportive.(5)、What is the best title for this passage?A、Ideas About Aliens B、Protect Our Earth C、Stephen Hawking's Ideas D、How to Find Aliens -

Today, around half of the world's population lives in cities. In the future, cities may become more crowded. By 2050,68 per cent of the world's population may live there. What might your life in cities look like in the future?
Scientists said there will be some possible changes in the ways we travel, live, wear and have fun. Some of them are under study. Others are just ideas. Now let's take a look at some cool future transportation.
Supersonic airplanes(超音速飞机)
Supersonic airplanes came out in the 1960s. But they were too noisy to use. Now, US Company Boom is working on making better airplanes of this kind. They can fly higher than usual airplanes. This makes the flight more stable(平稳的). Also, they will be quieter and faster. Now it takes you more than 11 hours to fly from Beijing to Seattle. In the future, it will be just 5 hours!
Flying cars
Many companies are working on flying cars. Japan's SkyDrive is one of them. Its car has only two seats for the driver and the passenger. It runs on electricity and can fly about 10kilometres per charge(充电). It helps to cut traffic jams.
Underwater highways
Besides"flying" in the air, we might also move around underwater. These highways are underwater tubes(管道). People sit in pods(吊舱) and travel between the UK and countries in Northern Europe in less than an hour. Usually, it takes around two hours.

According to research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact,especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. Over the past three years, the project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share information about the food.And then a truck driver is sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
(1)、What do the numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us?A、Some people are poor. B、Laura's country has a large population. C、Food waste is serious. D、The research is interesting.(2)、What is Feed & Find?A、It's an app that helps find restaurants. B、It's a project that helps deal with waste food. C、It's a house for homeless people. D、It's a company which tries to find out food waste.(3)、Where did Laura's project get food in the beginning?A、From her school dining hall. B、From her family. C、From a fast food restaurant. D、From a homeless shelter.(4)、What does the underlined word"concerns" in the last paragraph mean?A、Feelings B、Secrets. C、Worries. D、Decisions.(5)、What can be the best title for this passage?A、A Dining Guide App B、A Food Safety Project C、A Driving Service APP D、A Food Sharing Project -

E. With some tips, you can remember words more easily.

Keep a word notebook
Whenever you read English, write down new words in your notebook.Start with just five new words each time, and try to include example sentences. Soon, your notebook will be a useful and personal learning tool.
Link words with images
So, to remember a word, you can imagine a picture of it in your mind. For example, to remember the word"whisper(低声说)", picture someone telling you a secret quietly in the school library. This visual association (视觉联想) can greatly improve your memory.
Use flash cards
Making flash cards is a useful and easy way to remember words. Write a new word on one side of a card and its meaning or an example sentence on the other. Then, review the cards regularly.
By following these practical tips, you can learn and remember more English words effectively over time.

When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX designer, they both went silent. "In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about," said Anne, his mother. "I don't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or bikes."
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about"behind the scenes(幕后)" online design, his mother was still a bit lost. "I felt like I had totally failed as a parent," she said. "My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential(潜力), but how can I do that when I don't even understand what their dreams are?"
Anne is not alone. Recent research has found that more than two thirds of parents in England are now facing the problem. When their children express interests in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England.She found that many parents are afraid their children hardly follow them. "We all know that parents' opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children's career dreams," she said. "But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school."
Bryon Mathew, the writer of Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so fast that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
(1)、What did Leon Martin's parents do with his future job choice?A、They could not agree with him more. B、They offered Leon good advice. C、They failed to understand it. D、They had a clear understanding of it.(2)、What should successful parents be able to do according to Anne?A、Understand their children's interests and dreams.
