Are rice cookers only for cooking rice? And are microwave ovens(微波炉)just for heating milk and leftovers(剩菜)?
For years, I thought so. My daughters, however, have other1 . Since my wife left for a three-month training program in Hong Kong last month, I' ve had to2 home after work every day to cook dinner. Whenever I get caught in3 , I feel like tearing my hair out. "Oh, no! It's already six!" I complained one recent Thursday, thinking of my4 girls. "We won't eat until 8:30 tonight. "
When I finally stepped into my apartment building forty minutes later, I wondered if we should just5 instead. But when I opened the door, I was6 : The table had been set with three bowls of rice, a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup and a plate of shredded chicken(手撕鸡)。 Had my daughters ordered food delivery?
"Hi, Dad! Welcome back!" my younger daughter called from the kitchen. "Look, dinner is7 !"
"Did you cook all of this?" I asked in8 .
"Yes, with my sister. "
"But I' ve never9 you how to cook. . . "
"There's no need. Cooking is very easy!"
"Easy?"
As we ate, my daughters explained.10 an online video, they had used the rice cooker to make not only the rice but also the soup.11 , they put six chicken legs in a dish. After a few minutes in the microwave with a little seasoning, the shredded chicken was done. Yes, my daughters hadn't touched the gas stove at all, and the whole meal took12 half an hour to cook. How did it taste? Honestly, it was just as good as my usual, 13 cooking.
This, as I later realized, was the so-called"xiexiu-style cooking, "a trend in China. From a parent's point of view, it might seem"14 "or"unacceptable"— simply because it's something we've never imagined. But if a good 15 is what really counts, does it really matter if it isn't done the"right"way?
Maybe I should just let my daughters be creative and mix things up sometimes.

5、阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项(其中一项是多余选项),并回答问题。
"Keep calm and carry on"-You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs(纪念品) in London and the rest of the UK. Some examples include:"Keep calm and drink tea";"Keep calm and love dogs";"Keep calm and learn English". As you can see, you can substitute(替换) the"carry on" part for anything you want, really!
Well, it comes from World War II. It was a message used for a poster created by the British government to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked(攻击). The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.
Staying calm when you' re in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a"stiff upper lip". You stay calm and don't show people how you are really feeling.
Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a"stiff upper lip"? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago. But if"Keep calm and carry on" is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep calm and carry on!
A. This means your lips don't shake when you are excited or frightened.
B. Many people see this phrase as a symbol of British spirit.
C. It has become so famous that there are many versions(版本)of it.
D. British people probably show their feelings more than they used to.
E. But where does the original phrase come from?
Do you agree with the idea of"keep calm and carry on"?
What else will you say to encourage people in trouble? (Less than 15 words)

6、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Imagine taking a long space trip with your pet. How do you both stay healthy in such conditions like microgravity (微重力) and space radiation (辐射)?
②That's where space-based animal research comes in. On Oct 31, China's Shenzhou XXI mission (任务) carried out with four mice aboard. This is the first time China has sent mice into space for experiments, following earlier missions with fish and flies. After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space affects their bodies.
③Mice are good for space research because they share genetic (基因) similarities with humans, need little room and reproduce quickly. Also, given their short life, six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human. This allows scientists to predict what long-term space influences on humans in just months, rather than years.
④But not just any mouse can become an"astronaut". These mice are chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training. They pass physical tests, like riding an"exercise bike", and some other tests, such as solving mazes(迷宫).
⑤"The animal work is helping us understand how to live a better life in space, making it a healthier reality, as well as helping us study a few illnesses that affect us down on Earth, " Julie Keeble from King's College London told Understanding Animal Research. For example, space is perfect for studying osteoporosis(骨质疏松), as microgravity causes bone loss 12 times faster than on Earth. In 2017, a study with mice on the International Space Station found a treatment that slowed bone loss and helped new bones grow, offering hope for keeping humans healthy both on Earth and in space.
⑥In the world, sending animals to space began in the late 1940s to see if any life could live the high rocket speeds or the microgravity and radiation in space. Today, studies go further.
(1)、What does the underlined word"their" refer to in Paragraph Two?A、The mice's. B、The fish's. C、The scientists'. D、The flies'.(2)、What's the main idea of Paragraph Three?A、Which mice are allowed to help humans. B、How mice are trained to be"astronauts". C、Why mice are chosen for space research. D、How long mice can live in space and on earth.(3)、Why is the example of osteoporosis given in the fifth paragraph?A、To memorize the scientist, Julie Keeble. B、To express the doubt of the research. C、To explain the meaning of"osteoporosis". D、To make Keeble's opinion believable.(4)、How does the writer organize the passage?A、①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B、①/②③④⑤/⑥ C、①②/③④/⑤⑥ D、①②/③④⑤/⑥ -

That was true. Within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
After telling the story, Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. "If I am valued, more talent will be willing to serve the state, " he said. The king built houses for Guo and took him as a respected teacher. Soon, more talented people such as Yueyi, Zouyan came to help the king and made the state strong.

Lightning is a hot flash of electricity produced during storms. It can reach temperatures between 30,000 to 50,000 degrees, which is hotter than the sun. Lightning is very dangerous and can kill people if it hits them, causing tens of deaths or bad hurts each year.
Thunderstorms can move fast and can last for a few minutes or several hours. The best way to protect yourself during a lightning storm is to know what to do as soon as you can.
The first thing to do is to find a safe shelter(庇护所). A safe shelter is a closed place that is not too small. If you are in a car, be sure to keep your windows closed and stay inside. If you are at home, stay away from windows, do not get in water, stay off phones, stay out of the kitchen, and away from electrical outlets(电源插座). Rooms like the kitchen have many electrical appliances(家用电器)in them. Lightning can hit the appliance and then jump to you if you are nearby.
If you happen to be outside and get caught in a lightning storm, try your best to get to a safe shelter. If you feel your hair starting to stand up or if your skin begins to hurt, you are feeling the effects of electricity and a lightning hit is about to happen. Get to a safe shelter at once or squat down(蹲下)and put your hands and head on your knees.
If you are outside and cannot reach a safe shelter, find a low place away from metal objects. Such objects should be avoided because they attract lightning. If you get caught in a storm and you are in a wooded area, squat down but stay away from trees because lightning often hits trees.
If you are swimming, fishing, or on a boat and a storm comes up, you should get to land and take shelter immediately. If for some reason you are on a boat and cannot get to bank quickly, you should squat down as low as possible in the middle of the boat.

Listening to music can make you feel less sick when in a moving car, according to new research--but it depends on the type of song you play.
Motion sickness(晕运病)is feeling uncomfortable or like you want to vomit(呕吐), often when you're travelling by car, boat, plane or train. Other movement can cause it too. About one in three people are likely to get motion sickness if the movement is strong enough. Children between the age of 2 and 12 are more likely to feel ill than adults, but no one knows why some people fight with it their whole lives and others don't.
People get motion sickness because their senses are sending different messages to their brains. In a moving car, for example, your eyes see movement, but your inner ears(内耳)which control balance feels you are sitting still. This can make you feel ill.
To test music's effects, a brain specialist in China showed a study with 30 volunteers who easily get motion sickness. The volunteers were set up with instruments that made them feel like they were in a car, while sensors(传感器)on their heads recorded their brain activity. After a drive that made them feel sick, researchers played different types of music.
The result showed that joyful music was the best at reducing sickness. Soft music came next, followed by energetic music. However, sad music actually made people feel better more slowly. In fact, people who listened to no music at all felt better than those who listened to sad songs.
Based on this, the researchers believe that creating a personalized playlist of happy songs could be a simple and effective way to help you beat motion sickness on your next trip
(1)、What is the main cause of motion sickness?A、The eyes can't send proper messages to the brain quickly. B、The inner ear can't receive right messages in a moving car. C、The eyes stare at moving objects outside the window for too long. D、The brain gets different messages from the eyes and the inner ear.(2)、Why was the sensors used in the study?A、To play different types of music. B、To check the volunteers' eye movement. C、To record the volunteers' brain activity. D、To make the volunteers feel uncomfortable.(3)、What music was the second effective at reducing motion sickness?A、Soft music. B、Energetic music. C、Sad music. D、Joyful music.(4)、What's the best title of the passage?A、Music Beats Motion Sickness B、The Reason of Motion Sickness C、A Test on Motion Sickness D、How Motion Sickness Influence Us -

An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants
Thingsprepared:a potato with sprouts(芽):a flower po t with soil; a camera to record progress
Observation:
Day 3 The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the centre of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grow n from the potato under the soil. I' ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.
Day 6Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It's exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
Day 11Buddy is getting larger! Two more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grow n yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
Day 13Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I'm also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
Day 15 The leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They' re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
