【推荐2】Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory(remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists(心理学家)doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers(祈祷文)that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.
According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.
Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!
However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: "Do people get it from water?", "What parts of the body does it influence?" and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent "passively" reading and re-reading notes.
1. Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage?A.It helps short-term memory for sure. |
B.It makes remembering things interesting. |
C.It helps to remember things for long. |
D.It makes remembering prayers effortless. |

【推荐3】Can you always find what you want to find on the Internet? These easy-to-remember ways will help you to become a safe and smart searcher!
Several keywords will help to find better results. Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for bird seagull and not just seagull because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.
Exact information can help you find what you are looking for. If you are looking for an exact sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type (打字) it between inverted commas (“”), and only exact matches will be shown. This is very useful when you want to find something that you’ve already seen but lost.
Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren’t always helpful and usually unnecessary.
Add a minus symbol (—) if you don’t want some of the results. For example, “seagull-hotel-film” will leave out all information of hotels and films in the result.
Check out your spelling. Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results, especially when the mis-typed word appears.
Have a filter(过滤软件). It’s a good idea to filter your online searches, especially when you are searching pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filter. There are many kinds of them available.
Try different search engines(搜索引擎) until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize(个性化) the results. So if you want to get different results, you’d better check out the search engines which don’t do this.
1. Why can’t we use one keyword to look for something on the Internet? ________A.It can guide us to find wrong information. | B.It can make the computer work more slowly. |
C.It can mean nothing but itself on the Internet. | D.It can make us waste much time finding the exact information. |
A.Pandas—live—in—China | B.The pandas live in China |

【推荐1】The documentary Born in China was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It not only brings audiences the lives of animals that are seldom seen in the wild, like giant pandas and Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊)and so on, but also shows traditional Chinese culture. The documentary, mainly focuses on life and love within three animal families—giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards(雪豹).
As a symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang. The panda’s gentle nature also shows how yin and yang lead to peace and harmony(和谐). This can be seen in the documentary when a giant panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.
Monkeys always have strong personalities. The best example might be the Monkey King, a character from the popular novel Journey to the West. On the one hand, he stands for impatience. But on the other hand, he shows cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey. He feels like his life has been changed worse after his new baby sister was born. He quickly joins up with a group of other free-spirited(无拘无束的)monkeys, but finally returns to his family and understands the meaning of responsibility.
The snow leopards are known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork. They have inspired a form of pictographic boxing(象形类)in Shaolin martial arts(武术). So far, many people have been learning the martial arts in China.
Born in China is an excellent work to show Chinese traditional culture. From the animals in this documentary, we can know that Chinese people have learned from wild animals since ancient times.

【推荐3】What do you think about when you think of a zoo? Small cages? Bars like those in prisons? These images might be common in people’s mind, which serve as arguments for the people who do not like zoos, as historically, traditional zoos kept animals with a very limited focus on conservation(protection of natural things or education, However, a sort of evolution (改革;进化) has occurred.
Most zoos today, especially those in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an international organization whose members are leading zoos and aquariums, provide spacious and natural space for their animals and worked hard to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. More importantly, modern zoos not only take much better care of the animals they keep, but also engage with the protection of animals in the wild.
As the human population increases, our impact on the environment has been deadly harmful to wildlife and wild spaces. Things like climate change and severe habitat destruction are causing species to go extinct at unnatural rates. Some scientists estimate we are currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction (灭绝) in the history of life on earth. As a consoling (令人安慰的) part out of all griefs, many zoos serve as important safe-holds for endangered species populations, and in cases like that of the California Condor, captive breeding programs in AZA, which kept animals in zoos proved to be important in bringing species back from extinction. Besides, AZA, including many zoos, also fund over 2,500 conservation projects, donating 160 million dollars every year to protecting species in the wild.
The conservation impact that zoos have goes even further than direct conservation action and financial support for fieldwork. In a time when people spend less and less time outdoors, zoos serve as a place to teach children and remind adults that wildlife and wild spaces still exist, and that our society holds the future of these species’ survival in our hands.
________________________. While I am only 18, I have spent the last six years volunteering with wildlife conservation organizations. As a volunteer at the Santa Barbara Zoo, I stood outside of the Amur Leopard exhibit and educated guests about these critically endangered big cats. I saw the way that live animals can spark people’s curiosity and inspire them to love and protect nature. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend the AZA’s Legislative Conference in Washington DC, where I got the opportunity to see how zoos support conservation efforts in the wild. Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia is an organization dedicated (致力于) to saving the cheetah in the wild, but it relies heavily on support from zoos. Many zoos donate large amounts of money to CCF, but they also contribute to CCF’s mission by connecting people across the United States with cheetahs, and the issues they face in the wild.
Zoos can be controversial institutions; however, both opponents of traditional zoos and those who support modern zoos have more in common than one might think. Both groups are extremely motivated because they care so deeply about animals, their welfare, and their long-term survival on our planet. I encourage you to consider both sides of this issue and learn more about all of the conservation work zoos do, and the world-class care animals in AZA receive before determining where you stand on this issue.

【推荐1】A teenager lived with his father. He loved playing football and was a member of the school football team. He was always on the bench, but his father came to watch every match and encouraged him.
The son never missed a practice, but he was far from a good player and was a bench warmer almost all through high school.
One day in his last year in high school, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and became silent. Then he said to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss the practice today?” The coach gently said, “Go back home, young man. And you don’t need to come back to the game on Saturday.” There would be an important match on Saturday.

Recently, Donald Trump has been chosen to be the Person of the Year by Time. But who is the Person of the Year in your heart?
Katrina, 13, England
In my eyes, the Person of the Year must be British actor Alan Rickman. I love him because of his beautiful voice in the movie Alice in Wonderland. The most successful character he has made is Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, who loves Lily till the last second of his life. In 2016, he died at the age of 69. The author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling said he was a perfect actor and a wonderful man.
Henry, 13, Portugal
The Person of the Year must be Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres. He was the former premier of Portugal (葡萄牙总理). And now he is the new Secretary-General (秘书长) of the United Nations. Before him, eight persons have taken this job. In my opinion, the UN Secretary General always plays an important role in developing international relationships. I think that he is worth offering the job and will make something great to the world.
Zhang Xiaoning, 15, China
I think Guo Chuan, the famous Chinese sailor, can be Person of the Year. Guo broke many world records with his sailing boat. He often sailed around the world alone. He had strong spirit. Whatever difficulties he met, he never gave up. He went missing at sea earlier this year. But he still lives on in my heart.
Michael, 12, France
The person I want to choose would be Teresa May, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since the UK left the European Union, many people thought that the UK would be in a mess. However, May made an effort to "save the UK". She has done a good job. It is said that she has dealt with the chaos (混乱) of the English political parties (政党).
