Record-breaking (freeze) temperatures and snowfall in Texas have left Texas' wildlife stunned (昏迷) by the cold. This week, thousands of sea turtles (海龟) were washed ashore on the Gulf Coast and couldn't move. (lucky), by Monday evening, nearly 2,000 cold-stunned turtles were rescued. Sea Turtle, Inc., is a non-profit turtle rescue organization, saw the numbers rise by Wednesday morning when they received 3,500 turtles in an unconscious state after volunteers raced to save them.
In typical year, Sea Turtle, Inc.'s facility will receive between 12 and 100 cold-stunned turtles in winter months, but nothing what they are currently experiencing.
When water temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the turtles fall unconscious. In this immobilized state, the turtles risk (lose) their lives. Therefore, when turtles are stunned, they need a place (warm) up.
When Sea Turtle, Inc.'s facility reached maximum capacity, they (start) to send the overflow of turtles to South Padre Island Convention Center. As the week went on, volunteers continued to drop off turtles with increasing (frequent).

The many benefits of sharing jokes as a family
A well-chosen joke can have a big impact when speaking to a crowd or attempting to redirect a tense meeting. Our family started regularly enjoying jokes when my son began sharing the "Joke of the Day" read on the morning announcements at his school with us at dinner. A burst of laughter prevents us from complaining about the menu. The benefits of sharing jokes definitely go beyond mealtime conversation matter, though. Here are some reasons to make joking around a regular family habit:
Knowing a good joke can help a kid connect with other kids at the cafeteria table or start a conversation on the school bus. Enjoying jokes and practicing the art of humorous delivery in the safety of their home can give kids tools for social situations.
Jokes improve language skills. Consider the learning potential in these samples from Funology.com: "What do you call a cow that eats your grass? A lawn (草坪) moo-er." "When is a door not a door? When it's ajar (半开着)."
Jokes encourage reading and learning. Many parents and teachers report that joke books help motivate their reluctant or struggling readers to read more. Since jokes, by design, are for sharing, reading them aloud is particularly good practice for kids who struggle with reading fluently. If your child needs help remembering a difficult concept, a joke might do it. For instance, try another joke from Funology.com: "Two atoms (原子) are playing together when one tells the other, 'I lost an electron (电子).' The second atom asks, 'Are you sure?' The first atom replies 'I'm positive!'"
A. Jokes help kids build social relationships.
B. Jokes aren't just for the public stage, though.
C. Humor can even help a person deal with mood disorders.
D. Studies show humor can make information more memorable, too.
E. Jokes arc quick lessons about sounds in words and word meanings.
F. But humor encourages family connection and helps ease kids' anxiety.
G. Also, it's been a good chance to explain jokes he didn't quite understand.

For eight months up to this April, a French bookstore chain had video in a Paris shop fed to software that examines shoppers' movements and facial expressions for surprise, dissatisfaction, confusion or hesitation. When a shopper walked to the end of an aisle (走廊) only to return with confusion to a bookshelf, the software immediately messaged clerks, who went to help. Sales rose by a tenth.
This could be a chance, some say, for physical retailers (零售商) to trim the advantage that data have long given online sellers. A race is on to work out how best to collect and use emotions data, be it to improve packaging, displays, music, or the content, says Rana June, chief executive of a firm in New York called Lightwave. It measures shoppers' emotions for consumer-goods firms.
Not everyone is impressed. Nielsen, a consumer research company, views using technology to work out shoppers' emotions unfavorably. "It is a little annoying," says Ricardo Gutierrez, head of shopper insights at Nielsen Colombia in Bogota.
But it is much cheaper. Nielsen charges roughly $10,000 to interview 25 shoppers about three products. Angus.ai, the Paris startup behind the technology, charges just £59 ($66) a month per camera. What's more, conventional market research can mislead. People typically "edit" responses to make themselves sound sensible, when purchases are often driven by subconscious (潜意识地) emotions. And surveys can also ask the wrong questions - such as how much people like a product when what really matters is whether, say, it makes them feel attractive.
The notion of "retail therapy (疗法)", consumers driven to spend when they are feeling blue, is an obvious example of shopping's emotional side. Whichever store is the first to work out how to spot mildly depressed customers could make big money.
(1)、What was the function of the video in the Paris bookstore?A、Checking its daily sales. B、Examining its clerks' work. C、Monitoring its book storage. D、Watching its shoppers' emotions.(2)、What does the underlined word "trim" in paragraph 2 mean?A、Weigh. B、Miss. C、Reduce. D、Introduce.(3)、What is the author's attitude to Angus.ai's technology?A、Skeptical. B、Supportive. C、Tolerant. D、Conservative.(4)、Why is retail therapy mentioned in the last paragraph?A、To prove shopping is mood-driven. B、To predict the future of physical retail. C、To introduce different types of shoppers. D、To explain the drawbacks of overconsumption. -

New York is among the slowest cities during rush hour in the world, according to a report published in January. Crossing midtown by car is soul-destroying. The average speed is 4.7 miles per hour, not much quicker than a quick walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to introduce road charges, making New York the first big American city to do so. By next year vehicles will have to pay to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.
The details of the new rule, including how much drivers will have to pay, how they will pay and how often they will pay, have yet to be decided. A "traffic mobility review board" will be set up to work all this out. New Yorkers living in the fee zone who make less than $60,000 a year will be exempt (豁免权). Other drivers, including motorcyclists, the city' s civil servants, disabled drivers and the trucking industry, all want discounts or exemptions, which might not be a good sign.
If done right, road pricing could be expanded beyond Manhattan. New York can learn from other cities. Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decades, adjusts prices regularly. It can also learn from mistakes. London, which rolled out its pricing in 2003, is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber. Stockholm exempted too many vehicles, which caused a drop in revenues (收入).
Other cities considering road charges, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle, are watching New York. "We really have to make a good example," says Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute, a New York think-tank.
(1)、What does the report find?A、New York has terrible road traffic. B、New York often introduces new laws. C、New Yorkers prefer walking to driving. D、New Yorkers face an increased cost of living.(2)、What can be inferred about the new rule from paragraph 2?A、It faces some potential problems. B、At has clear and detailed fee standards. C、It favors New Yorkers living in the fee zone. D、It fails to win a traffic mobility review board's approval.(3)、What do London and Stockholm have in common?A、They learn a lot from Singapore. B、They have greatly increased revenues. C、They charge on-demand car hires heavily. D、They are bad examples of placing road charges.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、How much does it cost to drive into Manhattan? B、New York approves road pricing for Manhattan C、Drivers fear crossing Manhattan south of 60th Street D、Who will be exempt from road charges in Manhattan? -

We use a huge amount of single-use plastic each year - we buy one million plastic bottles each minute around the world. Plastic waste, a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing irreparable damage to the planet. However, plastic waste generated in many countries typically ends up in open, uncontrolled landfills (垃圾填埋池) - most of which eventually enters the ocean either transported by wind or through waterways.
Now, Nzambi Matee, a 29-year-old woman from Nairobi, Kenya, is dealing with this global crisis by recycling bags, containers, and other waste products into bricks used for construction projects. Before launching her company, Gjenge Makers, Matee worked as an oil-industry engineer. After encountering plastic waste along Nairobi's streets, she decided to quit her job and created a small lab, testing sand and plastic combinations. Matee eventually received a scholarship to study in the materials lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she ultimately developed a prototype (原型) for the machine that now produces the new bricks.
Made from a combination of plastic and sand, the bricks have a melting point higher than 350℃ and are more durable than concrete bricks. Matee and her team source much of the raw product from factories and recyclers, and sometimes it's free, which allows the company to reduce the price point on the product and make it more affordable for schools and homeowners.
"There is that waste recyclers cannot process anymore. That is what we get," Matee said. Her factory produces 1,500 bricks each day, made from a mix of different kinds of plastic. These are high-density polyethylene, used in milk and shampoo bottles; low-density polyethylene, often used for sandwich bags; and polypropylene, often used for ropes. But she does not work with polyethylene terephthalate or PET, commonly used for plastic bottles, which can be made into the same form easily again and again.
The plastic waste is mixed with sand, heated and then pressed into bricks, which are sold at varying prices, depending on thickness and colour.
(1)、What does paragraph 1 mainly focus on?A、Our irresponsible plastic waste treatment. B、The damage caused by plastic production. C、Our dependence on single-use plastic. D、The examples of single-use plastic.(2)、What caused Matee to make the new bricks?A、Her job as an oil-industry engineer. B、Her determination to win a scholarship. C、Her awareness of Nairobi's plastic waste problem. D、Her lab project at the University of Colorado Boulder.(3)、What are Matee's bricks like compared to traditional bricks?A、They take less time to make. B、They are cheaper and stronger. C、They have a higher melting point. D、They are thicker and more colourful.(4)、Why do PET bottles fail to win Matee's favour?A、They are few in number. B、They are easy to recycle. C、They mix badly with sand. D、They take much energy to process. -

16、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。
Music has always been an essential part of my family. As a little girl, I often watched my mom singing with others. As I grew older, she and I would sing while we did the dishes or hung clothes. My brother Dean was also a musical soul. In good time or in bad, there was always music in our house. It shaped us, comforted us, and gave us a way to express feelings that might otherwise have gone unspoken.
After Dean became a father, we learned that his oldest son was on the autism spectrum. My nephew Carl did not handle social situations well, and sometimes even to speak aloud outside the family for him was a struggle. He worked very hard to overcome his fears, so much so that the year he was eight, he decided he wanted to be part of a music program with the other children in his Sunday school class. The part he had been offered was one that required him to sing a verse all on his own—a solo.
My brother carefully explained to him that this would mean singing in front of the audience. There would be no one singing with him. Carl considered this very carefully.After a couple of days, he decided that he would accept the part. He explained to us that he believed he could do it because it was a very special occasion. He said he knew his daddy would help him to be the best singer.
For over a month, he and his father practiced together. Every evening would find them locked away in the music room. My brother played the guitar, and my nephew's small voice came from somewhere deep down inside his little body. He gained confidence, and when the day of the concert arrived, he was certain all would go well. My brother waited backstage, giving Carl double thumbs-up, and he came out to sit with the rest of the family to watch and take photos.
Paragraph 1: When it was finally time for Carl to sing, the music played on, and he froze.
Paragraph 2: Everyone turned to see who was singing, while I knew it was my brother.

H.G. Wells, born in 1866, was trained as a scientist, a rarity among his literary contemporaries, and was perhaps the most important figure in the genre (类型) that would become science fiction. Writers in this tradition have a history not just of imagining the future as it might be, but of inspiring others to make it a reality.
Audiobook, Airplane, and Television
Wells imagined forms of future entertainment. In When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), residents use fantastic forms of technology like audiobooks, airplanes and television sets.
Visitors to The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896) meet odd creatures created by the madman doctor in human-animal hybrid experiments that may predict the age of genetic engineering. , though today human immune systems (免疫系统) still ultimately reject such efforts.
Lasers (激光)
Martians in The War of the Worlds (1898) give off what Wells called a Heat-Ray. . It would be more than six decades before Theodore Harold Maiman fired up the first operational laser in 1960, but military thinkers had been hoping to weaponize (使.......武器化) the conceptual laser before it was proven practical.
Atomic Bombs (原子弹)
. The atomic bombs he introduces in The World Set Free (1914) fuel a war so disastrous that its survivors are moved to create a unified world government to avoid future conflicts.
A. Genetic Engineering
B. Directed-energy Weapons
C. It can burn enemies with a noiseless flash of light
D. It is often a warning about the consequences of technology
E. Here are some of the incredible Wells predictions that have come true
F. Wells recognized the damaging power that might be created by this weapon
G. Scientists are working towards the possibility that animal organs could save human patients
