Where they may have walked then, there is ocean today. Most likely, they didn't set out to discover anything. They were just following their next meal as their great-grandfather, grandfather, father had done for centuries.
It probably all began innocently enough. Slowly, people started moving east across what is now Asia, traveling in groups of several families. The weather was cold, but thick furs(毛皮) of wolf, tiger, and bear kept them warm. Their tools were of bone or wood or stone, whose points were long and sharp. Food was heated by placing it into skin bags with hot stones. Around the fire, they told jokes, sang, and made tools or cleaned animal skins(皮). The children played games and helped the little dogs too young to stand guard. The big dogs kept watching nearby.
They were a people of the seasons. When winter came, they made camp. In some sunny places, they built "houses" of brush and skins. They ate dried meat, berries and some plants stored up from the summer. Hopefully, there also would be fresh meat.
Come spring, flowers came out, and bears, too. There were fresh greens to eat and birds' eggs to collect. It was time to move on.
Years passed. The people probably followed a large group of animals farther and farther east. One day, they may have crossed over to the land we call Alaska. Most likely, it was not a great event. The people probably just went on walking.
Today, scientists try to re-create their journey. It's not easy. The scientists have different ideas about whether the first people in the Americas crossed over a land bridge from Asia or came there another way. As we study the small pieces of tools, houses and other things these people left behind, we can only imagine their world and the lives they led.
(1)、The first paragraph is probably written to ____.A、provide some facts B、present an opinion C、describe a certain situation D、introduce the background(2)、According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE to the ancient people?A、They heated food on hot stones above the fire. B、They kept dogs for carrying food and other things. C、They traveled in order to discover something new. D、They got different things to eat as seasons changed.(3)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、The ancient people kept walking followed by a group of animals. B、The ancient people moved on the land from Asia to the Americas. C、Scientists clearly know what the ancient people's world was like. D、Scientists don't agree on how the ancient people traveled to the Americas.(4)、The reason why the writer doesn't call the people by name is probably ____.A、the writer forgot how to call them B、no one knows what they called themselves C、their names are too difficult to spell D、no one is allowed to speak out their names(5)、What is the best title of this passage?A、An Unknown Adventure B、A Long Difficult Journey C、A Road to a New World D、A Step from Old to Now -

We moved to a new small town when I was six years old. From another country to the United States, I was not1 by children as I was new to them.

Something changed when one day I met an old man named Charlie, who lived six houses away. I stood on the street side of the fences and watched as he 4 himself in the garden. He always wore gold-colored glasses. Fashions came and went, but Charlie 5 the same.
I did not speak to him for a long time but instead watched as he did his thing. He did not speak to me, but waited patiently for me to break the 6 when ready. I would watch him smile or complain. He would sometimes 7 and show me the cause of his joy or pains; it might be a carrot, or a handful of weeds (野草). After several months I found a biscuit placed on a small blue plate and later, a cup of cool drink. Charlie started to speak to me and share stories 8 I was his closest friend in the world. I 9 very little in return but remembered what he said.
We moved away when I was 11. At our last 10 , he went inside his house and came out with an old watch.

A big test makes students feel fear and anxiety(焦虑的). But taking tests is something faced by all students at all levels of schools. How do you prepare for the tests as well as reducing fear? Maybe they will be of use to you.
Calm down. Don't panic. You will be focusing on the fear, and not the coming test. Many times, fear can even prevent you doing well. If you panic, take deep breaths, and think that you can do this.
People who make a detailed study plan often have an easier time of their studies. When making a study plan, calculate(计算) the amount of time you have left before the exam date. Is the exam in a month? Did the teacher spring the test on you suddenly? Is it a mid-year exam that has been waiting since the start of the year? Depending on the time, make your study plan long or short.
Take notes and ask questions. If you come across what you can't understand, write it down. And don't worry—you aren't stupid if you ask questions. Questions mean that you're actively learning. Besides, a question ahead of time could mean a better grade on the exam. Good study skills help to achieve better results with less effort. So use the ones that work for you.
A. Make a study plan.
B. Here are some good study skills.
C. Making a study plan can help you save time.
D. Panic will only make your situation even worse.
E. Ask your teacher either during class or during office hours

If we want to grow as people, we can't just depend on our own evaluation(评 价) of how we're doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback(反馈) from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal with this?
First things first—if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind. they might not understand what you're trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal(相等的) amount of good feedback to balance out(平衡) anything bad. Like the saying goes, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt. Feedback should also look toward to the future. You can't change what's already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally, don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don't take it personally—it can only help you give better advice next time.
(1)、What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph I probably mean?A、Seeing the picture. B、Giving feedback. C、Receiving feedback. D、Showing a way to success.(2)、Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2?A、You might forget to tell the person later on. B、Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away. C、Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice. D、If you wait too long, the person might forget what's happened.(3)、What can we infer from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?A、It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback. B、It's difficult to do a good job all the time. C、It's better to balance good and bad feedback. D、It's important to think twice before giving feedback.(4)、The passage is mainly about ____.A、what characters good feedback includes B、how people should give feedback properly C、the differences between good and bad feedback D、the importance of giving and receiving feedback -

On February 12, 2019, Brendon Fontaine blew out five candles on a birthday cake."He loved the cake so much," says his mother, who lives in Winnipeg with Brendon."I had to hide it in the back of the fridge."
Brendon's surprise came from Cakes for Kids, a group of home bakers(烘焙 师) who know that a simple birthday cake can be uncommon for poor families like the Fontaines.
The group was set up three years ago by Christy Rogowski, a 40-year-old who works in health care software, and her partner, Wendy Singleton. "Imagining a child who wasn't going to have a birthday cake was really upsetting," Rogowski says.
A call-out on the Internet for volunteers finally added 150 bakers to their name list. When volunteers first apply(申请), they're asked why they want to do so. "Some people have said that they didn't have a cake on their birthday growing up, and they know how important it is," says Singleton. More commonly, though, they say they want families in need to know that their neighbors care about them.
The names of the cake receivers are provided by community organizations and Winnipeg Child and Family Services. A child might receive a cake because the family is poor. Sometimes a child is sick, leaving the family too busy to make the treat themselves. Cakes also go to children living in foster care(寄养). Jodi Korolyk, a worker with Winnipeg Child and Family Services, has so far ordered birthday cakes for five of the almost 800 kids in their system. "It shows the child they have a lot of people there to support them," she says.
By the end of last year, Cakes for Kids had baked over 575 cakes to mark kids' birthdays, and the baking continues. Rogowski and Singleton are even considering developing the program nationally and also providing cakes for old people who live alone. After all, there's no age difference when it comes to the positive role of a well-timed cake.
(1)、The example of Brendon is given to help explain why ____.A、cakes should be put in the fridge B、children like cakes so much C、Cakes for Kids was set up D、some families became poor(2)、We can see from the passage that the group Cakes for Kids ____.A、pays its workers much money B、has a history of three years C、cares about volunteers' health D、gives away cakes online(3)、Paragraph 5 mainly tells us ____.A、where kids can celebrate birthdays B、how cakes are sent to kids C、who can probably receive cakes D、when cakes need to be ordered(4)、The last paragraph shows that Rogowski and Singleton plan to ____.A、offer cakes to the old living alone B、make another 575 birthday cakes C、improve their skills in making cakes D、create new kinds of birthday cakes -

Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals. Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.
The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks(轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".
However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go". So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.
During these times, people traveled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.
Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
(1)、Why was the color red used to mean "stop"?A、It reminded people of traffic rules. B、It helped trains run smoothly. C、It gave people a warning of danger. D、It was the first color people thought of.(2)、What does the underlined word "swapped" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Designed. B、Exchanged. C、Suggested. D、Compared.(3)、In which order did the "take care" light develop?a. A white light. b. A green light. c. A yellow light.
A、a—b—c B、b—c—a C、a—c—b D、b—a—c(4)、What is the passage mainly about?A、The advantages of traffic lights. B、The history of traffic lights. C、The importance of traffic lights. D、The meanings of traffic lights. -

WELCOME TO YOUR FUTURE LIFE!
You wake up in the morning. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The water is the perfect temperature. After your shower, your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Your mother has done everything for you? No! Actually, you live alone.
Appliances that talk
Technology will make appliances smart in the future. Your fridge, for example, will suggest what to cook based on the food you already have. With the help of RFID chips (无线射频识别芯片), which will record the date that you bought each kind of food and even "read"this information, your fridge will be able to tell you what to cook or to buy.
Houses that think
In the future, you will not have to repaint them. The walls can learn about your likes and dislikes through the technology called OLED. A computer network will connect these walls with everything else in your house so that your house will then use that knowledge to control the environment for you.
Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, smarter robots that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house. Friendly robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. These robots will do housework and they will even take care of children and the elderly.
You can't wait to live a life like this. It is possible that it will be a part of your life in the next 10 years. Perhaps sooner. Much of the technology is already here.
A. How soon will these come true?
B. Then how is all this possible?

Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing "people food", you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, says this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either.
The scientists discovered that the foods a dog might find in an owner's home─ such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables─may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food leads to more variety(多样性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest(消化) food.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what foods they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms(慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, "Dog foods on sale are described as providing a complete diet...But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child ———why should a dog be different?"
(1)、According to the new study, dog owners ____.A、can feed dogs on "people food" B、must offer dry food to their dogs C、shouldn't make food by themselves D、had better buy more processed food(2)、Paragraph 3 mainly explains why ____.A、people should keep dogs at home B、dogs need different kinds of foods C、scientists study dry processed food D、little living things stay in human bodies(3)、How does the writer describe the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable?A、By using pictures.

My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I'm going to talk to you, about my understanding of learning history.
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.
In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events(事件) of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors' lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.
To be honest, . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.
Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.
History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.

For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the "time out".
It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect(反思) on what he has done. Then, when the time is up, he will apologize and learn from the mistake.
However, just because it's something that's been done for years, that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don't sit nicely and think about what they've done. Instead, they need to be told a few (or many) times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They're not reflecting on why they are in the "time out" at all. More likely than not, they're probably just really angry, and so are the parents. In the end, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation? You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting(育儿) and gentle parenting. These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love. So, instead of starting a "time out", try something called "time in". A "time in" needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm. After that, the parent and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.
As we all know, punishment and violence(暴力) seldom work and will never teach the children what the right way to act is. A "time in" can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes. Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.
A "time in" may take more time, but it does work.
