Sometimes, it is fun being tall.Sometimes, it is not.
I always stand out as the tallest one in my class.But sometimes I would rather be short.I hope people didn't notice me my height.John, the shortest kid in our class, shared with me that he wished people wouldn't always notice him either.Surprisingly, this strange similarity brought us together and we good friends.When we play basketball, people say, "it's so to watch a game with the school's tallest and shortest boys on the same team."
It's true, you know.You can't be too tall or too short.It's just the you are.

①Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be.It's much better than I ever thought.
② The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me.The public transport system, especially in its big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is great.The subway networks cover every part of the big cities.People can avoid the traffic jams and get to where they want to go much faster.High-speed trains that connect cities like Beijing and Shanghai in less than five hours are another example of China's wonderful transportation system.
③ Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability(可用性) of services.If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to have daily needs, electronics or even medicine, I just need to make a phone call or click on my phone a few times.Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket or the store. It is one of the key reasons I've stayed in China for so long—something I've never experienced in any other country.
④ What's more, China's convenience doesn't only lie in the speed of services, but also in their user-friendliness.The whole system is designed with user experience in mind.For example, the apps I use for transportation or deliveries are user-friendly, even for people who are not good at technology.Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct.It means you don't need to spend time learning how to use the systems.This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties.

We all know the words"early bird"and"night owl".People have used these words for years to categorize(分类)people according to their sleeping habits.More recently, however, sleep researcher Dr Michael Breus introduced a more detailed system based on sleep types.According to Dr.Breus, everyone falls into one of four sleep types:lion, bear, wolf and dolphin.
Most humans are the bear type because they usually sleep from around 11 p.m.to 7 a.m.and work best between 10 a.m.and 2 p.m.The typical structures of modern society, such as the standard nine-to-five workday, suit bears well.
Lions are the ones who get up earliest.They go to bed at about 9 p.m.and wake up as early as 5 a.m.They do their best work in the morning.Lions are often socially confident and charming, which, combined with their ability, makes them natural leaders.
Wolves are like night owls.They don't like waking up before 8 a.m.and reach their best mental state in the afternoon.It's hard for them to start work at 9 a.m.But if they can make their own work hours, they can get a lot done.
Dolphins have random(随意的)sleep habits, mainly because they often feel worried and think a lot.Having a bedtime routine is important for them to calm down before sleep.Dolphins are very creative and good at solving problems.
Why is this information useful to us?Knowing your sleep type helps you recognize when you're most likely to feel most energetic and can do your best work.By planning your work and free time according to your sleep patterns, you can work better and sleep better.It can also guide you on how to best structure your life.
(1)、According to the passage, what time do bears usually sleep?A、From around 9 p.m.to 5 a.m. B、From around 11 p.m.to 7 a.m. C、From around 8 p.m.to 4 a .m. D、From around 10 p.m.to 6 a.m.(2)、People who feel sleepy in the morning but energetic in the afternoon are most likely to be ____ .A、lions B、bears C、wolves D、dolphins(3)、How does the writer develop the passage?A、By listing numbers. B、By telling stories. C、By asking questions. D、By giving explanations.(4)、What's the purpose of this passage? .A、To guide people on how to change their sleep habits. B、To introduce sleep types and their effects on daily life. C、To tell differences between"early bird"and"night owl". D、To explain the importance of high quality sleep for people. -

Talk to your parents about this.You could also do what you can to help everyone get out of the door on time.Get yourself ready and then see if there is anything you can do to help someone else.For example, grab a jacket for someone or turn off the TV and lights before leaving.
I work very hard for tests, but after I finish taking one, I feel I haven't done well.
Before a test, take some deep breaths and relax.Remind yourself that you have studied hard and that your most important responsibility as a student is to try your best.It may also help to share your feelings with your parents or teachers.

Good Book,Bad Movie?
People often say" a picture is worth a thousand words. "But when you compare books and the movies made from them,you might wonder if that's really (符合事实的;真实的) . Great books often become bad movies.
Good movies need good stories. So why have the great works never become great movies?There are some key (原因;理由) . One is time. A book usually takes a few days to read,but a movie only (持续) for about two hours. This means great books can (丢失) some parts of the story and characters when they move to the big screen. Even the (成功的) Harry Potter movies can't avoid this,making some fans of the book don't like them.
(另一;又一) one is that movies sometimes look different from how we imagined. For example,the movie Alice in Wonderland got mixed reviews. One of the bad reviews was about the (女演员) who played Alice. People thought she didn't act (好) .
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Books and movies are two different forms of media and there are different rules (在……之间) them. With this in mind. perhaps,we should judge movies on their own,not just compare them to books. So, (无论何时) you watch a movie based on a book,try to see it as a new story. Maybe you'll find the movies are good,too.

"Beep! Happy Mars-iversary(火星纪念日) to me! "I landed here and became a Mars rover(漫游者,探测器) on August 5,2012. To celebrate,I used all 17 of my cameras to take photos of my whole body—it took 2 hours!
As usual,my team on Earth planned some activities for me:watching the clouds,examining some rocks and looking for frost(霜冻) . Why frost?Finding it can prove Mars has water.
At 5:30 a. m. Mars time,I set off to an area called "Kiato" to look for the frost. Winter here is really really cold. It was about-70℃ this morning. Perfect for frost. Cold temperatures allow frost to form. But it also meant I needed much more power to keep warm. I had to finish the work before the sunrise. I've searched for the first twice before but found nothing. Today,I made a third attempt. I did my best. Sadly,still no luck today. . .
BUT!Earth just sent surprising news!Scientists noticed some mud cracks(泥浆裂缝) on the photo I took two years ago at"Pontours". These cracks showed Mars had wet-and-dry cycles. These cycles are thought to create conditions where life might have formed. It is my best gift ever. At that moment,I realized what I did today would make a big difference to the future.
Actually,before I came to Mars,my team thought I'd work here for only two years. Eleven years have passed. Now I'm still working here. I'm more tired than before because my power source is becoming weaker and weaker. I'm too old!My body is not as strong as before. Maybe I can't do something which is highly challenging. But my job remains as important as ever. For me,every day counts.
Tomorrow,I will keep climbing Mount Sharp (It's taller than Mount Qomolangma!). Maybe I'll find frost then. . .
Bye for now!

Eric Baden,a coffee expert from Germany,runs a café called Coffee Commune in Shanghai. For over 10 years,he's been working hard to make Yunnan coffee better. Here's his interview.
Host:Eric,what made you want to do something for Yunnan coffee?
Eric:Thirteen years ago,I went to Yunnan to look for coffee beans for my business. When I first tried Yunnan coffee,its special taste surprised me. I believed it could be world-famous. But farmers there told me their coffee beans were sold cheap. They didn't know how to grow coffee right or process(加工) it properly. Few people knew Yunnan produced coffee. Also,most farmers grew only one kind of coffee bean. Seeing that,I just knew I had to help.
Host:____
Eric:Local farmers have learned new growing and processing skills. Companies have also developed their own processing system. For example,our company's"P86+"method produces high-quality beans. In 2019,our beans won a silver medal at an international competition. And some farmers use the method of making Pu'er tea in coffee processing. It helps give Yunnan coffee a flavor of Pu'er tea—a taste you won't find anywhere else! These changes have attracted more buyers worldwide,and helped farmers make more money. Of course,Yunnan coffee has become an important part of the local culture.
Host:Then what makes Yunnan a good place to grow coffee?
Eric:Yunnan gets much sunshine,rain and rich soil. The temperature changes a lot from day to night. It's quite warm during the day but cold at night. All these work together to make its coffee special. Compared with coffee from other places,Yunnan coffee has a richer flavor.
Host:What's your biggest dream for Yunnan coffee?
Eric:My dream is to help 10,000 Yunnan coffee farmers and bring Yunnan coffee to the world.
(1)、What was Yunnan coffee like thirteen years ago according to Eric?A、The coffee tasted terrible. B、The coffee beans were cheap. C、Lots of people knew the coffee.

②much rain
③cold weather
④strong wind
⑤enough sunshine

A、①③④⑤ B、①②⑤⑥ C、②③④⑥ D、②④⑤⑥(4)、What is the purpose of this text?A、To share the future of Yunnan coffee. B、To invite people to grow coffee in Yunnan. C、To encourage farmers to sell more Yunnan coffee. D、To make more people know about Yunnan coffee. -

Have you heard of a place that keeps growing?That's the Yellow River Delta,the youngest land in China.
The delta is shaped by the Yellow River,the second-longest river in China. The river carries a large amount of sediment(沉淀物) to the sea. Over time,the sediment builds up and creates the delta. As the river keeps adding more sediment,the delta gets bigger every year. Now it covers an area of over 5,400 square kilometres—about 7. 5 times the size of Singapore! When you look down at it from the sky,the Yellow River Delta is like a large fan spreading towards the sea.
The estuary(河口) of the Yellow River is a key part of the delta. It has a fantastic view. Here,the Yellow River rushes into the Bohai Sea. When they meet,a magical line appears. That's because the river water doesn't mix with the seawater. The line divides the water into two parts:on one side is the river's brown water and on the other side is the seawater as blue as the sky.
The delta includes a big wetland. It's a paradise for about 400 kinds of birds. Every year,millions of birds migrate (迁徙) here,so it's called the" International Airport for Birds". Some birds even make their homes in the delta. For example,the Oriental white storks,often called the "panda of migratory birds",produce and raise their babies here. The Black-headed gulls which are in danger,also thrive in this special area.
The Yellow River Delta is really a wonder of nature,inviting more people to discover its beauty.
(1)、Why does the Yellow River Delta grow bigger?A、The sea continues to cover it. B、The warmer weather creates it. C、Chinese people keep building it. D、The river brings more sediment to it.(2)、Which picture shows the Yellow River Delta?A、B、
C、
D、
(3)、How does the writer show the value of the delta in Paragraph 4?A、By asking questions. B、By listing steps. C、By giving examples. D、By telling stories.(4)、What's the best title of the passage?A、The Yellow River Delta:A Lively and Young Land. B、The Yellow River Delta:A Place Calling for Help. C、The Yellow River Delta:A Huge Man-made Wonder. D、The Yellow River Delta:An International Airport for Birds. -

●Compare the prices! A l ways check the prices of the same product online first. Then you can find the best price. If you don't need it right away,wait for sales.
