The guide stopped, looked at me and said, "They make the world a more beautiful place.""Wow,I never (think) about butterflies like that before. Thank you," I said.
After we said goodbye, I couldn't stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something (offer) the world with the time we have.When we focus our gifts(才能) on taking care each other every day, we can make a difference.

4、 请阅读全文,并从下面方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
A. They say rap fans are usually outgoing.
B. Here are the results they found.
C. They all like to listen to Hip-hop music.
D. Those who are quiet may prefer to enjoy classical music.
E. Fans of pop music are possible to be outgoing and honest.
F. However, researchers found that fans of these kinds of music are usually quite gentle.
One study by Heriot-Watt University researched how music influences people's lives all over the world. The researchers did a survey before. They looked for more than 36,000volunteers and asked them to experience over 104 different musical styles and then offer information about their personalities.
Pop Music
Although pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem(自尊), researchers suggest that they may be easy to get worried.
Rap or Hip-hop Music
People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive (好斗的), but researchers found that there is no such relationship between them.
Rock or Heavy Metal Music
When it comes to these kinds of music, sometimes aggressive images may show up in our minds. They can be creative, but are often shy.
Classical Music
Classical music lovers are shyer. They feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them.
In my opinion, this study helps you know yourself and others better.

How long does a year last? Children might say that a year lasts forever. But your parents might say that a whole year can pass in the blink of an eye. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
According to scientists, our brains degrade (退化) and change over time. This physical change causes the speed of taking in and dealing with new information to decline(下降).
Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than grown-ups because they' re dealing with images at a faster speed. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time.
However, as people's brains degrade over time, fewer images are dealt with in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as if they are happening more quickly.
What's more, people may also"feel" time differently due to psychological (心理的) reasons. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period.
Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school, first family vacation, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion(慢动作)? That's because when something is a"first", there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they take forever, according to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in theUS.
For many grown-ups, life is routine(常规的). When they look back, they might feel like there are not many interesting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
(1)、What does the underlined part"in the blink of an eye" in the first paragraph mean?A、Quickly. B、Slowly. C、Quietly. D、Directly.(2)、Why do babies move their eyes more often according to the passage?A、Because they are dealing with images at a faster speed. B、Because their time passes faster than grown-ups. C、Because they have great interest in the new world. D、Because their brains are developing quickly.(3)、What can we know according to David Eagleman?A、Babies move their eyes much more often than grown-ups. B、Psychological factors can affect how a person feels about time. C、Recalling memories makes people feel like time is going faster. D、Memorable events can slow down the pace of brain degradation.(4)、What is the structure of this passage?(①= Para.1)A、

During my teen years, I wasn't an outgoing person at all. I was never interested in volunteering. I just thought it was something people who had a lot of free time did. My view of volunteering changed when I started university. I heard new friends talk about all the ways they had helped others and, in return, had improved themselves.
I started volunteering when I was 19 years old. As an English major(专业) student,I volunteered in kindergartens to teach children English. Later, I realized I wasn't getting anything new out of my volunteer service. I decided to move out of my comfort zone.I volunteered at different art festivals. These chances helped me greatly improve my organization and communication skills.
The most important and life-changing volunteering experience for me came in the summer of 2019. It became clear to me that volunteering locally was not enough. It was time for me to try volunteering abroad. I spent a month and a half in Romania teaching English to children from poor families. That experience helped me improve my teaching skills. Ialso completely changed myself. I met people from all over the world and learnt to work together with them. Since then, I have made many international friends. These days, I am always able to do better than my colleagues (同事) whenever my job requires cross-cultural communication.

Think about how much time you spent outside last week. I mean"really outside".Walking from the car into the mall(购物中心) doesn't count. Now think about how much time you spent inside: surfing the internet or playing video games or watching TV.
"I play inside more than outside," said Casey M. of South Bend, Indiana. "I like to play games on the computer because I think it's very exciting."
If you' re like Casey, it's likely that you spend more time inside than outside. Kids spent two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities in the early 2010s than kids did in the early 1990s.
Are you staying inside because you don't have a place to go to? People fill open places with buildings. Rhonada Clements said, "Students still need some special places. There they are free to go and meet friends. And they can make them relax there. What's more, parents should spend more time staying with their kids."
Even when there is a place to go to, personal safety is a problem. "I wish I could play outside more," said Angela P. of New Haven, Connecticut. "There is a park down the street,but my mum worries about my safety when I go there by myself." Many kids are home alone in the afternoons because their parents tell them not to leave the house. Most parents always think it's dangerous for their children to stay outside.
(1)、What can we know from the first three paragraphs?A、A lot of people like playing outside. B、A lot of people like playing computer games. C、More and more people like watching TV with their family. D、More and more people like spending time inside.(2)、What does the underlined word"they" refer to?A、Special places. B、Parents. C、Students. D、Friends.(3)、Which of the following may Rhonada Clements agree with?A、Students need to make more friends. B、Parents should spend more time with their children. C、There should be fewer special places for students. D、There should be more love and fun at home.(4)、Why do parents tell their children not to leave their houses?A、Because they want their children to spend more time with them. B、Because they think it's dangerous for their children to go outside alone. C、Because they are afraid their children won't finish their homework. D、Because they need their children to do some housework at home.(5)、How did the writer write the passage?A、By firstly writing about himself and then about other people.

In Asia, a quilt dates back to the first century BC. In the 11th century,
Europeans brought quilting(衲缝) technologies from the Middle East. Since then, Europeans have worn quilted clothing under their heavy coats to keep warm.
Bed quilts were related to women in American history. At that time,women cut up old clothes and used them to make new clothes or blankets. During the 1700s and 1800s, women made quilts. Quilting played a role in women's lives.
Every quilt is an expression of the artist. Each one uses different patterns and colours. Each one also uses different technologies for sewing (缝) the pieces together. Later people added some pictures, such as birds or flowers.
So the next time you climb into bed with a nice warm quilt, you can take a moment to appreciate the art on it.

Have you ever dreamt of travelling all the way over the rainbow? Well, it's easier than you think. All you need to do is book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru.
Rainbow Mountain, also known as the Mountain of Seven Colours, is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes(安第斯山脉) in Cusco. As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours.
But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt, the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes climbing more difficult and the colours will look duller(更暗淡). The best time starts in March and lasts for nine months, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it either right after sunrise or right before sunset.
To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very challenging. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude about 5,200 metres above sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By listing a fact. B、By telling a story. C、By asking a question. D、By giving an example.(2)、What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain?A、It has seven different colours. B、It was covered by ice in the past. C、It's a man-made wonder. D、It's the most visited place in Peru.(3)、Which of the following is the best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain?A、At noon on a cold day in December. B、On the evening of a rainy day in August. C、On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D、On the morning of a sunny day in September.(4)、What's the structure of the passage?(①= Para.1)A、①/②③④/⑤ B、①/②③/④/⑤ C、①②/③④/⑤ D、①②③/④/⑤(5)、What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A、To explain the reason why it's called Rainbow Mountain. B、To tell us the best time to travel to Rainbow Mountain. C、To attract people to Rainbow Mountain for a trip. D、To say how to get to Rainbow Mountain in Cusco. -

They grow on trees. Apple trees are a member of the rose family. There are hundreds of different kinds of apples in the world. Apples are round and about 85 per cent of an apple is water. Apples usually have red skin but may be a shade of(少许) red, green, or yellow.
