9、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The library was typically so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing.
Mrs Cane, the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. "And what is it you two are supposed to be working on?"
Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, "We're working on a paper for our history class."
"I see," Mrs Cane said harshly. "Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly."
The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly(不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged(耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand.
Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian's eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. "It's 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!"
Paragraph 1:
Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone.
Paragraph 2:
They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing.

Many people must have read The Art Of Warbut how many have (true) understood it? What does it have to teach us? This is too big question to explore.
(appreciate) The Art Of War fully, we must first understand who Sun Tzu was. The thing about Sun Tzu is that his whole existence remains (hide) in mystery. Where did he live? Where was he born? How did he become so successful? How did he die? No one knows the exact answers these questions.
Some people actually believe Sun Tzu did not live and that he (be) just a myth, to begin with. This claim is strongly supported by many people Sun Tzu does not appear in many important historical records, but then again, there could be an error.
But it could be possible that Sun Tzu was born under the name of Sun Wu around 544 BCE. Sun Tzu made the major(appear) of his life as a military strategist for King Ho-Lu, in the state of Wu, also known for (win) many great battles in history. According to researchers, he supposedly wrote the texts during the Warring States period. This was the time China was divided into seven states that waged war against each other for supremacy(霸权).

How to Grow Taller
As we all know, your height is mostly determined by your genetics. Once your growth plates (生长板)are joined together, you will stop growing taller, which usually happens between 14 and 20. Of course, there are many ways you can find on the Internet to help, such as, good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and exercise. But today, we're just going to focus on nutrition.
Add more protein into your diet.
Protein helps your body build healthy body mass, like muscles. Not only eat protein at every meal, but also include it in your snacks. For instance, you might eat yogurt at breakfast, tuna fish for lunch, chicken at dinner, and string cheese as a snack.
Eat an egg every day if you're not allergic to them.
Kindergarten teachers have observed something typical and interesting. Young children who eat a whole egg daily may grow taller than kids who don't. And this has been proved clinically. Eggs contain protein and vitamins that support healthy growth and they're also quite affordable. Eat an egg for one meal every day to potentially help you get taller. But here is a tip for you.
Take calcium and vitamin supplements.
However, your daily meals can't supply enough for your growth. Supplements may help you grow taller by meeting your nutritional needs. Calcium and vitamins A and D are especially important because they support strong bones. Talk to your doctor to find out if supplements are right for you. Keep in mind that vitamins won't make you grow taller than your genetics allow.
Dairy contains protein, calcium, and vitamins to nourish your body. While milk is a great choice, yogurt and cheese are also great sources of dairy. Include 1 serving of your favorite dairy product into your daily diet.
A. Keep a balanced diet.
B. This can help you be your tallest.
C. Consume a serving of dairy each day.
D. Please ask your doctor if it's safe for you to do so.
E. Minerals and nutrients play a key role in growing higher.
F. Luckily, taking good care of your body may still help you grow taller.
G. You might increase your height by about1.3 to 5.1 cm by stretching out your spine daily.

A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five would rather have a dog than be in a relationship.
The research, which asked 2,612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance, found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.
Perhaps the findings are unsurprising, as celebrities have long used dogs as their plus-ones. Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year, describing her pet as "the best date a girl can have". Jennifer Aniston has credited her dogs and female friends with making her happy, stating: "I've had more fun post-40 than I can remember."
Bill Lambert, a spokesman for the Kennel Club, said: "There certainly seems to be a growing number of dog-lovers who would rather share their lives with a four-legged friend instead of a human partner. This could be due to the many benefits that come with dog ownership—from the psychological to the physical. Dogs help their owners relax, whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air, or with a cuddle(依偎) on a sofa. They can also be great listeners, help their owners fight stress, and can play a part in improving the health and fitness of their two-legged owners."
Nevertheless, for those dog owners who are still looking for love, the research suggests their pet might help.
More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date or found love while out with their dog, with beagles, springer spaniels and German Shepherds appearing best for attracting a potential partner. People who owned golden retrievers and corgis were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.
Mr Lambert said: "This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker, when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other, and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs."
Among those responding to the survey, 21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
(1)、How would a single with a dog react when asked for their opinion of love?A、Behave like a cat on hot bricks. B、Stay calm or even a little carefree. C、Feel quite worried about being single. D、Still be hopeful about love and marriage.(2)、Why does the author mention the celebrities in Paragraph 3?A、To tell us some romantic stories about them. B、To show that the result of the research is true. C、To persuade us to follow these people's example. D、To give us some tips on how to be in a relationship.(3)、According to Bill Lambert, why do many people tend to live with dogs?A、Because of the advice given by their doctors. B、Because the dogs can remind them of somebody. C、Because they can't find their true love in reality. D、Because of the good their dogs bring to their life.(4)、What can you do if you are to find your likely partner?A、Learn some basic knowledge about dogs. B、Set up a homeless dog shelter on your own. C、Bring some dog food with you in the street. D、Walk your beagle in the park after supper. -

"Our temperature's not what people think it is," said Julie Parsonnet, MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy in Stanford. "or our common sense that our normal temperature is 37℃or 98.6 F, is wrong."
That standard of 37℃was made famous by German doctor Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in a book in 1868. Modern studies, however, have called that number into question, suggesting that it's too high.
In a latest study published in eLife, Parsonnet and her colleagues explore body temperature trends and conclude that temperature changes since the time of Wunderlich reflect a true historical pattern, rather than measurement errors or biases(偏见). The researchers propose that the decrease in body temperature is the result of changes in our environment over the past 200 years, which have in turn driven physiological changes.
The researchers analyzed temperatures from three officially-recorded datasets covering different historical periods, using the 677,423 temperature measurements from these datasets to develop a linear model(线性模型) containing the temperatures over time. They determined that the body temperature of men born in the early to mid-1990s is on average 1.06 F lower than that of men born in the early 1800s. Similarly, they determined that the body temperature of women born in the early to mid-1990s is on average 0.58 F lower than that of women born in the 1890s. These calculations match a decrease in body temperature of 0.05 F every 10 years.
The decrease in average body temperature in the US could be explained by a reduction in the amount of energy being used. The authors believe this trend may be due to a population-wide decrease in inflammation(炎症): "Inflammation produces all sorts of proteins and cytokines that speed up your metabolism(新陈代谢)and raise your temperature," Parsonnet said. Public health has improved sharply in the past 200 years due to advances in medical treatments, more convenient environment, greater availability of food and improved living standards. The authors also argue that comfortable lives at constant surrounding temperature contribute to a lower metabolic rate. Homes in the 19th century had irregular heating and no cooling; today, central heating and air conditioning are commonplace. A more constant environment removes a need to expend energy to keep a constant body temperature.
(1)、What does the underlined phrase "call ... into question" in Paragraph 2 mean?A、Find evidence for something. B、Show support for something. C、Regard something as nothing. D、Express doubt about something.(2)、Compared to her body temperature at birth, how could it change when a woman was 55?A、0.58 F lower. B、0.53 F lower. C、0.28 F lower. D、0.25 F lower.(3)、What is the main idea of the last paragraph of the text?A、Introduction of the latest findings of a Standford professor. B、Appeal to the public to care about the temperature changes. C、Possible reasons for the changes of average body temperature. D、Explanation of a rather difficult academic term in plain English.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、37℃, Still Normal Body Temperature? B、Same Body Temperature between Men and Women? C、The Effects Environment Has on Body Temperature D、Inflammation: Key Factor to Decrease of Body Temperature -

When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found out her father had stage four thyroid(甲状腺) cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer.
"It was very much an overnight idea," she explains. "I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor asking my neighbours for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible, and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my grief rather than letting it consume me.
"It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose combined with an even greater sense of compassion(同情)to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They've always held a soft spot in my heart."
Using tips she earns from working at her parents' bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wish list, which can be found in the bio of the book drive's Instagram account.
Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. "It was such an honour knowing people have carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift it to my cause."
The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President's Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.
(1)、Why did Emily decide to start a book drive?A、To show respect for her sick father. B、To raise money for kids with cancer. C、To recycle used books from neighbours. D、To draw more attention from the media.(2)、What can we learn about Emily from Paragraph 3?A、Emily didn't give up in the face of difficulties. B、Helping kids brought Emily great joy and pride.
