If you drop it, it will bounce (彈跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glas

13、s. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life.

20、en allowed to wear T-shirts and shorts to work, instead of business suits and ties. Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to reduce the use of air conditioners.Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great d

21、eal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming.But it is a vicious (惡性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be more need for air conditioning.Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge p

22、roblem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. Its very dangerous.”We cant live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we cant live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffe

23、r from certain health problems and have a lower productivity.For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 3 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.They couldnt give all their attention to work and their p

24、roductivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, it

25、s not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler.“The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summer 21C feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europ

26、eans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer.Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable.1What did the Japanese government do to

27、reduce the use of air conditioners?ATo allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work.BTo stop the workers from using air conditioners.CTo let people accept a bit more heat in summer.DTo ask people to open windows to let air in.2The writer probably agrees that _.Amost people will be sick without air con

28、ditionersBglobal warming is mainly caused by air conditionersCpeople have to be used to living without air conditionersDwe should change our expectations to protect environment3We can learn from the passage that _.AJapanese office workers are less productive in summerBAmericans care less about envir

29、onment than EuropeansCPeople in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerousDEuropeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AProtect Environment: Is it time to change business suits?BProtect Environment: Is it time to focus on

30、temperature?CProtect Environment: Shall we change our expectations?DProtect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?C15、Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp (黑猩猩) or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human b

31、eings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world. Scientists

32、 say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you t

33、ry hard to keep, because its meaningful to you (an example is data 數(shù)據(jù) about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory. Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different

34、ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One things for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. I

35、t may help when it comes to memorizing it.Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.1What can we learn from Paragraph 1?AHuman beings are less clever than chimps.BHuma

36、n memory is not as good as before.CChimps can memorize numbers better than teenagers.DChimps perform better than human beings in many aspects.2How many kinds of memory are mentioned in the article?A2 B3 C4 D53According to the article, which of the following is the best way to memorize words?ABy watc

37、hing TV.BBy listening to music.CBy writing them out many times.DBy listening and watching pictures.4According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?AMemory is the most important ability for human beings.BLong-term memory usually involves more important things.CScientists have made sure of t

His family owns a scuba company. For the past th

39、ree summers, Luca has added gardening to his underwater activities. He helps run Nemos Garden, a project to grow plants in the sea.From May through September, Luca and other divers are working on Nemos Garden in the Mediterranean Sea, 150 feet from the coast of Noli, Italy. Five large balloon-like o

40、bjects, called biosphere(生物圈), hold plants such as beans and strawberries. The biosphere is filled with air and placed 20 feet below the surface. “My father came up with the idea because he loves gardening very much,” Luca said.According to Luca, the sea is a good place to grow plants because underw

41、ater temperatures remain stable, changing little from day to night. The biosphere acts like greenhouses. Inside the air-filled biosphere, fresh water keeps evaporating(蒸發(fā)), providing the plants with a good environment to grow in. “We have already seen the plants, grow faster and better,” Luca says.

42、“And there are fewer storms that can knock down the biosphere during the summer.”Luca hopes Nemos Garden will provide a new way of growing crops. “There is not enough land on the Earth,” he says. “And in many developing countries, bad conditions make it difficult for crops to grow.”Though the projec

43、t has just started, Nemos Garden has achieved success and is moving to different areas. “Were going to try growing other plants,” Luca says. “We hope to set up biosphere in other countries. There are many possibilities.”1Nemos Garden is a project to _.Ado scuba-diving in the seaBstop storms in the s

One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her
