Do you want to get yourself a great photo?Learn how to look good and natural in your photo with these simple tips.
Keep it real.The human eye is very good at spotting the difference between a "social smile",where just the mouth muscles are working,and a "real smile",which reaches the eyes.If you force a smile for the photo,it risks making you look not genuine.
Get the eyeballing right.A straight gaze looks aggressive,while gazing down at the camera seems commanding and gazing up small and weak. Whichever option you choose,it's best to avoid extremes.
Design your body language.The wider your body stretches,the more relaxed you look. Think of a king looking down thoughtfully from his throne.If you're making a gesture,or the wind is blowing your hair,you look lively and playful—that's great as long as it's real.Again,people are good at detecting insincerity.
Avoid using selfies,which often come out looking either vain or self-conscious.There are lots of studios offering shots—and videos—that look attractive and natural.Talk to the photographer to make sure he/she puts you at ease,because that's how you want to look on the site. Make the trip as fun and loving as possible—when there's someone you love behind the camera,you'll show an affectionate look unconsciously,and people are more likely to think,"I want that person to look at me like that!"
A. Find your photographer.B. Be creative in your photography.
C. Looking slightly at an angle is often the friendliest.
D. You will discover a lot about yourself through your photo.
E. Have your photo taken when you are really enjoying yourself.
F. Similarly,the stiller you are,the more formal and confident you seem.
G. For a cheaper option,ask a close friend to go somewhere nice with you and snap away.

As digital devices have taken over society,"keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for early handwriting," a new study notes.The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
"Some schools in Norway have become completely digital," notes Audrey Vander Meer,the new study's leader,who measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors.She works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible,she notes.She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully,and,at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.
Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard,her new findings show.This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain."The increased brain activity,gives the brain more ‘hooks' to hang your memories on," she explains.
Think about it.The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard.By comparison,when we write,our brain needs to think about and recover memories of the shape of each letter.We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes we're writing.And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters.All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.
Along the way,these processes appear to "open the brain up for learning," says Vander Meer.So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful,she worries.
Vander Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates "visual notetaking". Rather than typing blindly,the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down.Then,key words can be "interlinked by boxes,and arrows,and supplemented by small drawings".
(1)、What should young kids do according to Vander Meer?A、Communicate with the world. B、Rely on keyboard activity. C、Learn to write by hand. D、Master basic drawing skills.(2)、How does the author draw the conclusion?A、By studying how the brain develops. B、By comparing ways of taking notes. C、By assessing functions of senses. D、By observing social phenomena.(3)、What is the main idea of the text?A、Digital devices are popular with students. B、Handwriting beats typing in taking notes. C、The process of taking notes changes thinking. D、The new study makes contributions to science.(4)、In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A、Relationship. B、Fashion. C、Culture. D、Science. -

With over 4.1 billion people,or around 55 percent of the world's population,living in urban areas,cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly congested.In addition to spending many hours stuck in traffic,residents are also exposed to high air pollution levels caused by transportation emissions.Now,Saudi Arabia hopes to revolutionize urban living with "The Line"—a city designed around nature,without cars and roads!
"The Line" is designed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman(MBS). Located in NEOM—a 10,000-square-mile high-tech planned development on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi Province of Tabu—"The Line" will be the cornerstone of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030.The plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia's oil-dependent economy into other sectors,like tourism,and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens.
The 105-mile-long city,expected to cost between $100 billion and $200 billion,will be built along a straight line and is made up of several self-sustaining communities.To ensure all services are within a short,five-minute walk,each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure(基础设施).
The top "pedestrian layer" will be void(没有……的) of cars and roads,allowing residents to freely walk and bike in the surrounding green spaces.The second "service layer",will include all essential daily services,such as schools,leisure facilities and grocery stores.The third "spine layer" will house high-speed subway and autonomous vehicles capable of transporting residents across communities in less than 20 minutes.The entire city will be powered with renewable clean energy sources such as solar and wind,and possibly even hydrogen.
If all goes according to plan,the construction of this complex project will provide up to a million residents with a clean and stress-free living environment,and "The Line" is expected to create 380,000 new jobs,start economic diversification,and contribute an astounding $ 48 billion to Saudi Arabia's Gross Domestic Product(GDP) by 2030.More importantly,MBS believes it will provide governments worldwide a "blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony."
(1)、We can infer that "The Line" will be ____.A、temporary B、primitive C、eco-friendly D、conventional(2)、What is "The Line" meant to result in?A、Low crime rates. B、High unemployment. C、Super communities. D、Diverse economic sectors.(3)、What can be found on the second layer?A、Medical clinics. B、Bus stops. C、Underground trains. D、Cycling lanes.(4)、Which of the following is the best title?A、Saudi Arabia Has Created a Green City with No Cars or Streets B、"The Line" Will Be the Cornerstone of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030 C、"The Line"—Blueprint of People and Animals Co-existing in Harmony D、Saudi Arabia Announces "The Line"—a Low Carbon City Without Cars -

Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space.You listen to your favorite songs,play loud computer games or watch a movie—all without other people hearing the sound.That is the possibility presented by "sound beaming",a new technology from Noveto Systems,an Israeli company.
On Friday,the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press(AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut.The AP's Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie.The sound seems so close that it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front,above and behind them.
Noveto expects the device will have many uses.Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others' hearing.People could play a game,a movie or music without waking up others in the same room.Because the device does not use headphones,it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.
The device uses a 3D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener.It sends ultrasonic waves(超声波) to create sound pockets by the user's ears.Sound can be heard in stereo or 3D.The 3D method creates sound on all sides of the listener.By changing a setting,the sound can follow a listener around when he moves his head.It is also possible to move out of the sound beam's path and hear nothing at all.
While the idea of sound beaming is not new,Noveto was the first to launch the technology.Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein says a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.
(1)、What does the underlined word "debut" in paragraph 2 mean?A、New version. B、First appearance. C、Another failure. D、Some doubt.(2)、What does the fourth paragraph tell us?A、How the device works. B、How to use the device. C、The device's advantage. D、Why the device is invented.(3)、What do we know about Sound Beamer?A、It's a device appearing in the science fiction movie. B、Listeners got its sound through a receiver. C、It can prevent other sound being heard. D、The smaller one will be on market next year.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The introduction to a new device—Sound Beamer. B、The usage of 3D technology. C、The influence brought by Sound Beamer. D、3D technology and listening experience. -

On a sunny but bitterly cold February day,a line of small children snaked their way from Dale to Dale Fort on the Haverfordwest estuary(河口). They were the last of more than 2,000 volunteers who over the last year have collected,stored and put seagrass seeds into little bags,ready for planting.These seagrass seeds were soon to join others on the seafloor a few hundred metres off-shore from Dale to recover two hectares of seagrass meadow(草甸). This recovery is the latest attempt to change a century of destruction.
In the UK,we can only estimate the loss but in Denmark,seagrass records dating back to the 1880s give a very serious and accurate picture.At the turn of the last century,fishing was vital to the Danish economy.It was known then that seagrass meadows were a vital habitat for young sea fish and so in 1908 botanist Carl Ostenfeld was asked to study the seagrasses,then found in all the estuaries and entrance of Denmark.That study provided a clear standard against which to measure the loss of seagrass in Denmark,a loss that currently stands at 95 percent.
Why does this matter?Seagrass not only provides a nurturing habitat for fish but also stabilises the shore and absorbs energy,reducing the impact of storms.Boat anchors(船锚) are one cause of damage to seagrass;seashore development another.But the main cause is river water pollution,particularly nutrients from fertilizer and dirty water.These excess nutrients cause algal(藻类) growth that blankets the seagrass,cutting out light,and then later,when it dies off and rots,removes all oxygen.
One of the important messages is,if you stop killing sea life and protect it,then it does come back.We can turn the oceans around and we know it makes sense economically,for human health and,of course,for the environment.
(1)、What did the kids do in Dale over the last year?A、Have an interesting trip. B、Gather seagrass seeds. C、Protect seagrass from snakes. D、Make an important study.(2)、What can we know about Carl Ostenfeld's study?A、It was carried out in the UK and Denmark. B、It contributed to Danish economy greatly. C、It showed the loss of seagrass in Denmark. D、It made some practical measures for Denmark.(3)、Which of the following affects seagrass most seriously?A、Algal growth. B、Seashore development. C、Air pollution. D、Boats anchors.(4)、What is the purpose of the text?A、To show recovering seagrass is beneficial. B、To ask people to plant much seagrass. C、To present the dangers to seagrass. D、To persuade people to catch fewer sea fish. -

Michele Gentile,an Italian bookseller,is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.
Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla,a small town in southern Italy.He said he thought of the recycling program,because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
"My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative(倡议) came after Gentile collaborated(合作) with a nearby middle school on an aluminum(铝) recycling project.Working together,the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom.His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy:Gentile hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a "suspended" book.The idea comes from a World War Ⅱ practice in which customers would buy two coffees:one for themselves and another for the next person in line.Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative.
While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read,it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste.Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world,only 14 percent of which are recycled.Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose(分解),which is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations,and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
(1)、What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?A、To sell more coffee and books. B、To attract more customers. C、To collect money for a new project. D、To inspire reading and recycling.(2)、How did Gentile come up with the idea?A、Working with a school to recycle cans. B、Seeing school kids don't like reading. C、Donating books for a local school. D、Buying a "suspended" book for a child.(3)、Who pay for the books of the project?A、The local government. B、Gentile himself. C、Some publishers. D、His customers.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、An Italian's Reading Initiative B、Recycling Can Get Kids Free Books C、Michele's Way of Doing Business D、A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste -

Most people know how to manage,express,and cope with emotions in a healthy way. In fact,knowing how to regulate emotions is important for everyone.But what is emotion regulation,and how can you improve your emotion regulation skills?
Many researchers view emotion regulation as the ability to enhance or reduce your emotions as needed.Others define it as a set of skills that help keep your emotional system healthy and functioning.We can learn to adjust what emotion we have,how intense it is,when we have it,and how we react to it.The defining aspect of emotion regulation is that it occurs when a goal is activated.
Goals are highly individual.They're what we picture in our heads.Your goals can be activated by your environment.You may regulate your emotions to influence a change in someone else. For instance,when your boss treats you poorly at work,you act as if it doesn't bother you because you're hoping for a job promotion.
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment.Mindful people learn to be aware of the breaths they take,the tension in their muscles,and even their pulse rates.They can objectively observe themselves in difficult moments,confident that even these times will pass.
In and of themselves,emotions are not good or bad,though they may be scary,especially when they're intense. But the more you do it,the more natural it becomes.Mindfulness skills can help with this too.
A. Learning how to accept your emotions takes practice.
B. Being mindful can help you to deal with your emotions.
C. There is no one agreed-upon definition of emotion regulation.
D. Emotion regulation goals vary strongly from situation to situation.
E. For some people,though,emotion regulation is much more difficult.
F. Emotion regulation refers to the ability to control one's own emotions.
G. Sometimes you may regulate your emotions to achieve another end goal.

Chances are that you've seen a movie or played a video game that contains a cyborg(半人半机器的生物). These half-man-half-machine beings have been a vision of many creative writers.But it seems that some people can't wait for the future to arrive.
At the Body Hacking Conference in 2017,held in Texas,US,hundreds of science fiction fans from all over the world gathered to show off their body hacks.Rob Spence,45,had his right eye removed after an accident.Soon after,he decided to replace it with something more interesting."The minute I learned that I was losing my eye,I began researching how I could turn it into a camera," he told Wired.
This is an extreme example,and body hacking doesn't always take things so far.For example,around the world,many people are choosing to get NFC chips implanted in their hands.This is the same technology as used in smartphones,and it allows users to pay for things or even unlock their cars just by using their fingertips.The chip is the same size as a grain of rice and can be fixed and removed easily without much pain.
Hannes Sjoblad,founder of a Swedish body hacking group,believes that these implants are just the natural next step for smart technology that is already in wide use,such as smartwatches.
"We are updating our bodies with technology on a large scale already with wearable devices.But all of the wearable devices we wear today will be implantable in 5 to 10 years," he told Business Insider.
Sjoblad believes that such implants will become a regular part of our lives.Indeed,his group was asked to put chips in the hands of employees at a company in Sweden,allowing them to do things like opening doors,paying for lunch,and using the copy machine in the office.
"Who wants to carry a clumsy smartphone or smartwatch when people can have it in the fingernail?" he said.
(1)、What can we infer from paragraph 2?A、Rob Spence had his right eye replaced by a camera. B、Rob Spence thought it lucky to lose his right eye. C、Body Hacking Conference is just an attraction for the disabled. D、Body Hacking Conference is intended for science fiction writers.(2)、What is Hannes Sjoblad's attitude towards body hacking?A、Critical. B、Positive. C、Negative. D、Indifferent.(3)、What does Hannes Sjoblad probably agree with?A、Body hacking is taking things too far. B、There will be no wearables in 5 to 10 years. C、Compared with smartphones,implants are more convenient. D、Implants are totally necessary for everyone in their daily life.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Life Made Easier Through Technology B、Implants Accepted Worldwide C、New Choices Are on the Way D、Body Hacking Brings a Bright Future -

Organic farms use no man-made chemicals to increase crops or control insects and disease and organic fields produce fewer crops,on average,than other fields.However,agricultural scientists in Switzerland have displayed the long-term effect of organic farming methods,that is,the organic methods improved the health of the soil and used half as much energy.
The Swiss scientists compared the effects of organic and traditional farming methods over a period of more than twenty years.They grew crops on four fields of land in Switzerland.Two fields were grown using traditional farming methods.The others were grown using organic farming methods.The crops and soils were similar in all the fields studied.
The study found that the organic fields produced about 20% fewer crops than the other fields.However,the farmers used less fertilizer(化肥) and energy on the organic fields.They found the organic fields were healthier.
The scientists say the organic fields have more nutrients in the soils.The soils in the organic fields also have more biological activity than the other fields.The organic fields have more helpful organisms and a larger number of different organisms.The organic fields have almost two times as many insects,including helpful insects.In traditional farming,chemicals designed to kill harmful insects also kill helpful ones.
The researchers say the findings show that organic crop production rates change little over time,and that soil fertility increases.They say the findings suggest that organic farms can help the environment by increasing soil fertility.
Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular in some countries.Many people believe that eating organic food is more healthful than eating food grown with chemicals.Some people are willing to pay more money to buy organic food.
(1)、In what way do the researchers carry out the experiment?A、By selecting the best seeds. B、By applying different methods. C、By using the latest technology. D、By planting crops in special soils.(2)、What does the study show about the organic methods?A、They have more output than other fields. B、They use more energy than traditional ones. C、They benefit human health and nature. D、They can control diseases without using chemicals.(3)、What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning organic fields?A、Its shortage. B、Its products. C、Its application. D、Its strengths.(4)、What can we infer from the text?A、Organic farming is environment-friendly. B、No insects exist in organic fields. C、People can't afford organic food at present. D、Organic crop production rates increase rapidly. -

When I was a little girl,a couple in our community went through a tragedy.They lost a young child and were in deep despair.Shortly afterward,my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket.He turned to my mother and said,"Your husband saved our life.He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss."
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair.So back at home,she asked my father about their conversation numerous times,but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home.After sitting down for a few minutes,my mother gently said,"You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness.What did he say?"
"Rebbetzin,your husband did not say one word.He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything.And then he reached over to me,took my hands into his and hugged me.I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes.You cannot imagine what that felt like.Your husband felt my pain.I was not sitting alone with my suffering."
My mother was quiet,absorbing the message this man was giving.
"No,your husband did not speak.I didn't need him to give me words.I needed his heart and soul."
When I recall this story,I realize the truth.
When having someone in our lives who is going through difficulty,we are often at a loss.What do we say? How do we make it all better? What is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones?
We tend to think that we must fill space with words.But when you want to give of yourself,give a listening heart.Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent.Just now that you are there for them.Perhaps you can't fix anything or take away the pain,but you can feel it.With the silence comes sympathy,understanding and empathy.And you share the load.

The UK government has a plan to reduce waste that shifts the responsibility for disposal(处置) from the state to the companies that make it.
The legislation requires waste producers to pay into the system themselves or through their suppliers that is what the government termed, a "polluter pays" principal. Businesses will have to change their waste processing before the tax comes into play. This is similar to the anti-waste legislation passed in France in February 2020 that prohibits the destruction(销毁) of unsold clothing, cosmetics, hygiene products and electrical products. Companies will have to reuse, or recycle the items.
Dealing with waste is a global problem and we must deal with the over 2 billion metric tons of solid waste generated every year. The World Bank estimates that overall waste will increase to 3. 4 billion tons if nothing is done to change the situation.
The demand for legislation like the tough attitude the UK is taking has been increasing according to Positive News. And it is not just environmental groups calling for the changes. This is a consumer driven movement and people are willing to pay more for sustainable brands. Josh Bowden, co-founder of Noissue told Positive News.
What is absolutely certain is that local governments will save a lot of money as the responsibility shifts to the polluters. That could be better invested in things like social care or parks or libraries. Other countries have made great progress in reducing waste. Sweden's recycling program is so efficient that the country is running out of trash. The recycling rate is almost 99 percent and they are rapidly approaching zero waste. Today, large companies are greening their brands and moving to sustainable packaging including Colgate, Waitrose, Nestle, and Unilever which now has recyclable black packaging. The government of the UK hopes that other companies will follow their example. A partnership between government legislation and private companies will go a long way to reducing the tons of waste going into our environment every year.

18、 阅读下而短文,根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Before ending up on a supermarket shelf, an avocado (牛油果) has produced 1. 3 kilograms of carbon into the atmosphere. Its production alone uses 60 gallons of water. Despite this, the fruit will often be thrown away as household waste.
Household food waste is the result of mismanagement. If the food is better managed much of the waste is avoidable. To reduce household food waste, a growing number of food sellers decide to remove date labeling, such as the "use by" or "best before" date, from some fresh food.

Past studies have confirmed the importance of date labelling. Almost 60% of western European consumers surveyed said they "always" check date labels while purchasing. But date labelling can cause problems. People's failure to truly understand date labellling often leads to unreasonable decision making. Indeed, consumers commonly don't accept eatable, but date-expired (过期的) food.
To get rid of date labelling is therefore a promising start. Without date labels, information that may affect consumers' understanding of what is safe to eat is removed. Instead, consumers are encouraged to sense check fresh food items.
In the case of an avocado, the advice given to consumers is that when ripe (成熟的) it should have a "pleasant and slightly sweet smell" while the skin should be "dark green or brown".
Information is also provided on how an avocado should look, taste, and feel when "overripe". It is hoped that a better informed consumer will be less likely to blindly throw away food due to an expiration date.
(1)、What causes household food waste according to the passage?(2)、What do food sellers decide to do to reduce household food waste?(3)、Why can date labelling cause problems?(4)、How can consumers know what is safe to eat without date labels?(5)、Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to reduce food waste in daily life? (In about 40 words) -

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be the easy subject at school insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art brings money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert they are paying for the art product—music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development: encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
(1)、Art products differ from most other commercial products because ____.A、they have both commercial and cultural values B、they are more expensive and difficult to understand C、they provide the chance to escape from material life D、they are created only to meet people's emotional needs(2)、What can we learn about arts from this passage?A、Arts strengthen social connections. B、Arts have always been highly valued. C、Arts promise kids a successful life.
