3、 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When it comes to helping students learn and mature, there are several ways to increase their well-being. Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom, there are a few things that you still can do.
Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do. More and more children do not participate in sports after school. It's important for you to encourage mobility with sports that are played after class. You should find sporting equipment, basketball courts and play areas where kids can increase their well-being.
Secondly, you can provide proper nutrition for your children. It's important for your children to receive proper nutrition both inside and outside of the home. You'd better make it a point to provide enough nutrition for their proper development and growth.
Many parents fail to stop children from using smart phones and computers. There are some institutions that even encourage too much screen time as a way to teach children or keep them entertained. You should help the children remain excited without sitting in front of a screen throughout the day.
Last but not the least, monitoring bullying (欺凌)is also an essential part. Bullying continues to remain a common problem in some schools, making it important that the environment that your children grow in holds a high standard.
It's important to examine the school life as a whole to determine what factors are missing. . You may determine how well they adjust to the world around them and succeed in life.
A.You should provide kids with fresh food.
B.Besides, you'd better limit their screen time.
C.It will encourage children to focus on their study.
D.In addition, try your best to give them more freedom.
E.This will reduce the risk of health conditions that include obesity.
F.You can advise teachers to keep a practice of looking for bullying.
G.Parents play a significant role in children's growth and well-being.

There is no doubt that when you receive a compliment, you feel good and when you receive a criticism, you feel upset and want to refuse it.
You shouldn't be surprised by your reaction to the negative comment, as it's human's survival mechanism to avoid being criticized. Clearly, we don't want to be seen as failures, so we'd rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
Imagine you're learning to play the guitar, and you have just done your first public performance. Your teacher says, "You did well," which may not be as useful in helping you improve your performance skills as "Your timing needs some work." So I believe that criticisms are better than compliments.
No one would argue that healthy nutrition is a bad thing. However, too much food or drink — no matter how healthy they may be — can make us ill. Too many compliments take us away from our original enthusiasm of enjoying an activity. We start doing the activity only for the sake of receiving self-satisfying praise. Without the expectation of praise, our enthusiasm to complete things begins to be lost.
Launched in 2010, Microsoft KIN only lasted on the market for 48 days. It was very obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iPhones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and feedback from the target group had been received while the phone was in development, Microsoft KIN could have avoided the huge embarrassment and its final failure.
Just to be clear, I'm talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as "healthy criticism". The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.
(1)、What can we learn about compliment and criticism in Paragraph 1?A、People's response to them. B、People's ways to express them. C、People's understanding of them. D、People's different opinions on them.(2)、How would people be when receiving too many compliments?A、More annoyed. B、More satisfied. C、Less worried. D、Less interested.(3)、How can healthy criticism be helpful according to the last paragraph?A、To encourage growth. B、To develop intelligence. C、To avoid embarrassment. D、To reduce enthusiasm.(4)、What is a suitable title for the passage?A、Criticisms are better than compliments. B、Constructive criticism contributes to better future. C、Honest feedback comes from healthy criticism. D、Enough enthusiasm is vital for further development. -

Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty.
Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if their leaves touch.
They then exposed tobacco plant — the plant biologist's version of the laboratory mouse — to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect.
"Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread," says Dr. Cocroft. "Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals."
(1)、What can we learn about plants from the first paragraph?A、They may enjoy Western music. B、They can't stand Buddhist music. C、They can react to different sounds. D、They can make different sounds.(2)、What's the basis for Appel and Cocroft's research?A、Plants can make a cry for help. B、Plants evolve alongside insects. C、Plants are sensitive to the sounds. D、Plants have been studied for years.(3)、What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3?A、They can recognize harmful vibrations. B、They look like laboratory mice. C、They can threaten the caterpillars. D、They can release poisonous chemicals.(4)、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A、Disadvantages of chemical pesticides. B、Application of the experimental results. C、Interaction between plants and insects. D、Warning system of widespread insects. -

20、 七选五
Many people travel to enrich and enjoy themselves. Lonely Planet and Forbes listed their top trends of 2019. Here, TEENS has picked out three of them. Let's take a look.
Augmented attractions
World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality (VR and AR), are giving more possibilities to "travel" for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smartphones and WiFi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel.
In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to "walk" its surface with just a headset. Paris' famous museums, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology, which gives visitors more context and information about exhibits.
Which style do you prefer, travel on your own or with family and friends? Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that has changed. This year, solo travel has become popular, especially among young people.
Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go, whatever you're eager to tuck into and whenever you go out. For some people, it also releases a better person, ready to deal with anything. It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.
Getting off the common path
There are always some "must-see" spots anywhere you travel. Paris' iconic Louvre Museum is an example. However, with crowds blocking your view of Mona Lisa to take pictures with their phones, you may not be able to enjoy this masterpiece.
In order to avoid the crowds, many like to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting up small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Do you know better ways to enjoy the scenery?
A. Solo Travel
B. Package Tour
C. Travel brings power and love back into your life.
D. However, their travel methods may be different each year.
E. Traveling in a totally foreign land on your own can be challenging.
F. Take a walk, ride a bike, sip coffee a little slower, take a deep breath and explore.
G. It brings the 360-degree experience of museums, and historical sites to our homes.
