I packed my luggage and headed for the airport. (fortune), it was raining hard when I arrived in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn't care. A few hours before, I'd been at home in Hong Kong, its choking smog crowding the city. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.
I'd skipped nearby Guilin, tourists seek the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River which (picture) by artists in so many Chinese paintings. Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo which also appears in many (literature) works. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour away by car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.
Yangshuo is really beautiful, even (refer) to as one of the top 10 tourist (attraction) in the world in a research report conducted by the website Trip Advisor.

Ring! Ring! Ring! It was early in the morning. Though I knew who was 1 , I unwillingly reached for the telephone. I was a new supply instructor (代课老师) struggling to support my young family. Each morning I waited for a call that would take me to a different 2 that day. The last three of them had all been intended to 3 the teacher and see just how much bad4 he/she could deal with. I had responded by being 5 and angry with the students. I didn't really want to go to work that morning then, 6 since it was my birthday.
Still, I answered the phone and took the job. My family needed the money and I couldn't7 to be picky(挑剔的). As I was driving to work, however, I decided that I was going to8 again to be the best teacher I could be. 9 school started, the students treated me as their former teachers and once again were ready to see what they could 10 . This time, though, I was still firm (严格的)but 11 with them. I did my best to make the lessons fun. I shared smiles, 12 their hard work, and encouraged their efforts. The effect was amazing. My uncontrollable classroom was soon13 . Students were laughing and learning and I finally felt like I was doing my job14 . I went home happily and enjoyed the rest of my birthday with my family.
Every day we are given another 15 to get things right, to live our lives with love and joy, and to make this world a better place. Every morning arises and begins once again to be the best of you.

If making changes to your weekend routine could improve your productivity and mood through the coming week, would you do it? Research says that it can. Try a few of these additions to your routine and see how they work for you.
Get plenty of sleep
The importance of sleep to your brain's health just can't be overstated. Ideally, you shouldn't ever be short of sleep, which can affect everything from your mood to your cognitive function. You can do this by sleeping late, but you don't have to. Naps create big brain benefits, and the weekend can be a perfect time for napping .
Get outside
Spending time in nature benefits your brain and your general health. So unless the weather is really bad, plan for some time outdoors. A park where you are surrounded by trees and other plants works too.
.
When you're working during the week, it may be hard to spend as much time socializing with friends and family as you might like. So spend some time during the weekend with people you care about most.
Do something fun that's outside your normal routine
This change requires creativity, but it may be the most enjoyable small change you can make. . That's because, when you break out of normal routine, your brain is awake and active. You'll remember that part of your weekend better, and you'll face the week with greater energy and creativity.
A.The key is to plan ahead.
B.Spend time with people you like.
C.Think back to the last time you had a small outing.
D.You don't have to travel to forests to experience the benefits.
E.It will make your weekends more memorable and enjoyable.
F.The good news is that you don't have to make huge changes.
G.But if you've fallen behind on sleep during the week, use the weekend to catch up.

8、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.
Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇)in a person's daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. "I'm not saying that people should take them completely out of their food," she said. "I'm just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount."
Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. "Cholesterol's role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years," said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point," he added.
Bruemmer said, "Eggs in moderation are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint." "Moderation," he added, "is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread".
Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has "real shortcomings". One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. "If you're taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn't matter how many eggs you're eating," Andersen said.
Also, Andersen said, "The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon."
(1)、What does Norrina Allen agree with?A、Eggs are completely unhealthy. B、Eggs contain the most cholesterol. C、Eggs should be eaten in a right amount. D、Eggs have no connection with heart disease.(2)、What is Bruemmer's attitude towards the study?A、Interested. B、Doubtful. C、Concerned. D、Hopeful.(3)、What can we learn from Holly Andersen's words?A、Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together. B、Processed meat may cause heart disease. C、Processed meat should be avoided. D、The study is supported by evidence.(4)、What's the best title of the text?A、Do eggs cause heart disease? B、Are eggs the top source of cholesterol? C、What's the proper amount of eggs eaten? D、Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease? -

Chocolate could soon be a thing of the past after scientists' warning that the cacao (可可) plant, from which chocolate is made, could be extinct within 32 years.
Over half of the world's chocolate comes from just two countries in West Africa — Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana — where the temperature, rain, and humidity (湿度) provide the perfect conditions for cacao to grow. But rising temperatures over the next three decades caused by climate change are expected to result in a loss of water from the ground, which scientists say could upset this balance.
According to the related data, a temperature rise of just 2.1℃ could put an end to the chocolate industry worldwide by 2050. Farmers in the region are already considering moving cacao production areas thousands of feet uphill into mountainous areas — many of which are currently preserved for wildlife. But this move could destroy the ecosystems that are already under threat from illegal farming and deforestation.
One of the problems, according to Doug Hawkins, is that cacao farming methods have not changed for hundreds of years. "Unlike other tree crops that have benefited from the development of modern, high yielding strains and crop management techniques to realize their genetic potential, more than 90% of the global cacao crop is produced by small farms with unimproved planting materials," he said. "It means that we could be facing a chocolate decrease of 100,000 tons a year in the next few years."
Now scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have cooperated with American candy company Mars to keep chocolate on the menu. Using the controversial gene-editing technology known as CRISPR they are trying to develop a type of cacao plant capable of surviving in dryer, warmer climates. If the team's work on the cacao plant is successful, it could remove the need for farmers in West Africa to relocate to higher ground, and perhaps even allow cacao to be grown elsewhere in the world.
(1)、What do we know about chocolate from the text?A、Chocolate will disappear from the menu 30 years later. B、Chocolate is mainly produced by African countries. C、Chocolate will not be produced by 2050 because of climate change. D、A new type of chocolate will be produced with the help of CRISPR.(2)、What is the reason for the probable extinction of the cacao plant?A、The damaged ecosystems. B、Water shortage caused by climate change. C、The threat from illegal farming and deforestation. D、The changeable farming method.(3)、What is the writer's attitude to the application of CRISPR to develop a new type of cacao plant?A、Objective. B、Unconcerned. C、Supportive. D、Negative.(4)、Where does the passage probably come from?A、A poster. B、A leaflet. C、An advertisement. D、A magazine. -

On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷)called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
"This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design," Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital ( BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
"Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH," says Chris, Saucony's vice president. "Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world. "
Luna's design is fashion. "On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on bottom it's a really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset," she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind."
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to "find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.
"It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to," says Luna. "The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone."
(1)、What can we learn from Chris' words?A、It's unwise to raise money. B、It's optional to seek donations. C、It's wonderful to study art. D、It's necessary to show kids' talents.(2)、What does Luna mean by "It blows my mind" in paragraph 5?A、I'm overjoyed. B、I'm very serious. C、My mind goes blank. D、My mind is racing.(3)、Which of the following best describes Luna?A、Gifted and determined. B、Generous and serious. C、Grateful and helpful. D、Creative and sensitive.(4)、What is the text mainly intended to do?A、Tell us a story of a disabled girl. B、Set a good example to the disabled. C、Launch Saucony's new brand shoes. D、Introduce a campaign with kid patients. -

She was born with congenital cerebral palsy(先天性脑瘫). At four, she still 2 to tie her shoes. It was 3 for her. After three years of 4 , Kelsey made it. Her accomplishment taught me that pace wasn't going to be crucial—achieving goals according to her own 5matters most.
At age 5, she won a battle against cancer. Kelsey 6 through creative play. In the hospital, the game was always "restaurant" with her playing waitress and the rest of us 7 as customers.

How to Appreciate Art
Unlocking the meaning behind a work of art is one of the many joys of viewing and collecting. But how do you appreciate art and actually interpret it?.
Look at the art
, but it's more than quickly glancing at the art and drawing a conclusion. Before stepping back and taking the artwork in, take a moment to identify the artwork's basic qualities:
Is it a painting or sculpture?
Is the texture (质感) rough or smooth?
Does it appear chaotic (混乱的) or organized?
All of these are elements the artist chose when designing the artwork, so they need to be considered.
Identify the art and artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made reveals more information. Take for example the famous Guernica (1937) by Pablo Picasso, knowing Picasso composed the painting in response to the bombing of the town of Guernica during the Second World War leads to understanding its anti-war ideas. Even if the historical context of an artwork is not apparent, knowing the year of its creation offers an idea as to the broader events taking place at the time. .
.
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own understandings. In this way, there is no "right"answer that must be reached to unlock the painting's mysteries.
Discover your tastes
Just remember one important fact: You don't have to look at everything. For instance, if you dislike abstract art, skip the abstract. , so don't be afraid to stop and observe something outside of your tastes.
The next time you are admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
A. Think about the meaning
B. Maintain your own opinions
C. Viewing the art seems like an obvious first step
D. However, keeping an open mind is always encouraged
E. Applying these techniques to every work of art you come across may seem confusing
F. Looking at and understanding art is all about taking the time to view, identify and think
G. In all cases, learning something about the artist undeniably adds to the appreciation of art

It's breathtaking to watch the delicate spring wildflowers come out from their blanket of leaves, bloom, develop and disperse (传播) fruit, all in a matter of a few short days or weeks.
Although they look fragile, these are tough little plants, each focusing its efforts on spreading its species. They have evolved to have a wide range of flower structures and colors, some with fragrances, attracting many different insect species to assist them in pollination (授粉).
There is one strategy that a surprising number of spring blooming native plants have evolved in common: seed dispersal by ants. As many as thirty percent of the spring flowering plant species in the forests of eastern North America have evolved to take advantage of this situation to benefit themselves. These species have evolved to provide food attached to their seeds to encourage ants to disperse those seeds. This food, called an elaiosome(油质体), is a specialized fat body whose chemical composition more closely matches that of the insects that ants prefer than it does that of a seed.
When a fruit opens to disperse its seeds, the elaiosomes are an instant attraction for ants. They take the seed with its attached elaiosome back to their nests for consumption there, but they just eat the elaiosome, their preferred food, and dispose of the seed on their trash pile. This tends to be an environment that is rich in nutrients, and will benefit the growth of the new plant. Just to make sure the ants don't eat the seeds in addition to the elaiosome, some plant species have hard seed coatings that ants can't really bite through.
This evolutionary adaptation is somewhat similar to the strategy of plants that have evolved to surround their seeds with fleshy fruits to attract birds to assist them with seed dispersal. Given the fact that there are fewer birds available in early spring to help with seed dispersal, it makes sense that the early blooming plants evolved to partner instead with the ants for this service.
Did you ever wonder how your Spring Beauty managed to pop up in new locations in your lawn or garden? Thank an ant!
(1)、 What's the ultimate purpose of the evolution of wildflowers according to the text?A、To attract insects. B、To progress blooming. C、To produce elaiosome. D、To spread their species.(2)、 What can be inferred about elaiosome?A、It's hard to digest. B、It's impossible for ants to resist. C、It makes the earth rich in nutrients. D、It's often thrown into the trash pile.(3)、 Why do the early wildflowers prefer ants to birds to disperse according to the text?A、Ants are creative and hardworking. B、Ants are better at dispersing than birds. C、The birds in the early spring are not enough. D、The birds are not interested in their fleshy fruits.(4)、 What can the best title of the text?A、Thank Ants for Wildflowers B、Wildflowers Discover Their Treasures C、New Species of Wildflowers are Found D、Ants Are Superheroes Protecting Environment -

In recent years, labels have increasingly been used by the food industry. Whether "non-GMO(转基因)"or"zero trans fat","no added hormones" or"sugar-free", consumers are demanding more information about what's in their food.
A report by Nielsen found that 39 percent of consumers would switch from the brands they currently buy to others that provide clearer, more accurate product information. Food manufacturers are using the new labels to meet consumers' demand, with an eye towards giving their products a leg up over the competition, and their bottom lines a boost as well.
On its face, the new marketing strategy makes sense. But these so-called "absence claims" labels are harmful both to the consumers who purchase the products and the industry that supplies them. For example, Hunt's put a "non-GMO" label on its tomatoes a few years ago — despite the fact that, at the time, there was no such thing as a GMO tomato on the market. Over the long term, this strategy will have the opposite effect: by creating fear, we run the risk of damaging consumers' trust.
Eventually, it becomes a question in consumers' minds: Should I have ever been eating these foods in the first place? By purchasing and consuming these types of products, have I already done some kind of harm to me?
For food manufacturers, it will damage consumers' trust, which in turn would lower sales for the whole food industry. And this isn't just supposition. A recent study by a group of academics at the University of Delaware found that "absence claims" labels can stigmatize(污名化)food produced with conventional processes even when there is no scientific evidence that they cause harm.
In addition to the likely negative long-term impact on sales, it sends a message that innovations in farming and food processing are unwelcome, eventually leading to less efficiency, fewer choices for consumers, and, ultimately, more costly food products. Therefore, it's clear that food manufacturers must be careful when using "absence claims" as a marketing strategy. If we allow this kind of label fear-mongering to continue, the losers will be all of us.
(1)、 What is food manufacturers' new marketing strategy?A、Handing out free samples for consumers to taste. B、Using creative wrappers to catch customers' eyes. C、Attracting consumers by labelling "absence claims". D、Offering more detailed goods information to customers.(2)、 What does the author intend to indicate by mentioning Hunt's?A、The Hunt's takes a lead in the food-marketing strategy. B、Products without "non-GMO" labels are usually unhealthy. C、Consumers tend to purchase products with "absence claims" labels. D、The "absence claims" labels will have negative effects on consumers.(3)、What impact does the new marketing strategy have on food manufacturers?A、It will increase the cost of food processing. B、It will help remove the stigma of their brand. C、It will cut down the sales of their food products. D、It will damage the trust of their cooperative partners.(4)、What does the author advise food manufacturers to do?A、Increase food choices for consumers. B、Use "absence claims" labels cautiously. C、Improve the efficiency of food production. D、Innovate the processing methods of food products. -

If you ask 100 people what subjects they wish they had been taught in school, there is a chance that the vast majority of them will complain about the lack of personal finance education. In my case, I did learn a bit about financing while in school — just not in the classroom. One of my earliest lessons on the basics of budgeting came from an unlikely source: the cafeteria.
My lunch budget was a set amount each week. Without a plan, it would be all too easy to blow through the budget long before meeting all expenses. Therefore, my very first budgeting lesson was to make a budget well. A bit of simple arithmetic (算术) helped me determine exactly how much money I could spend each day if I wanted to actually have lunch all week.
Besides, my school had relatively diverse lunch offerings. You could not only get the common hot school lunch but also find many other foods of varying attractions. As far as I was concerned, what attracted me most was the ice cream. Unfortunately, I couldn't blow my daily lunch budget on ice cream. And I'd already figured out that splurging early in the week made for a rough time for the rest of the week. Hence, I learned my second important budgeting lesson: save for a goal. Because of this lesson, when Friday rolled around, I would have just enough left over for a wonderful lunch and the highly desirable ice cream.
Nowadays, my budget is a bit more complicated than the lunch budget in the past. Although I no longer have to save my pennies for a frozen treat, budgeting my money today uses the exact same skills I learned all those years ago. Actually, whether you're budgeting for school lunches or credit card bills, the basics remain the same. And it's never too early — or too late — to learn how to make a proper budget.
(1)、 What can we learn about the author while she was in school?A、She showed no interest in financial affairs. B、She often complained about her school subjects.
