I realized my bedtime routine was usually centered on one thing: my phone. Right before I went to sleep, I browsed through news websites and checked my emails. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I did the same thing. The problem with this was I felt anxious every night. I felt free without my phone at that weekend camp. I felt asleep listening to the sound of crickets.
When I had my phone, I was always checking the time and thinking of future plans. My thought was: “Who’s going to text me now? What will I do next?” Without my phone, I truly savored what I was doing in the moment, sitting by the river, riding a bike, or singing the old songs. There was no need to rush through any of it. I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do.
You know that moment when you’re hanging out with a group of people and no one has anything to say? The typical response: Everyone immediately pulls out their phones. So what did we do without a phone to avoid embarrassing silences? We actually talked to each other. Instead of burying our faces in our screens, we looked one another in the eye, had a moment of pure human connection and then continued talking. And you know what? People actually listened.
So, now what? Now I’m back to the real world.

If you live in the U.S., you’re probably used to throwing banana peel into the trash. But people in other countries, including India, have been taking advantages of their nutritional benefits for many years.
While the flesh of a banana is soft and sweet, the skin is thick, hard and slightly bitter. To eat the peel, you can fry, bake, or boil it for at least 10 minutes. Also, the riper bananas get, the thinner and sweeter banana peel will become. That’s because of a natural plant hormone (激素) called ethylene (乙烯) that fruits release as they ripen. Ethylene interacts with the sugars and fiber in the banana skin, changing complex sugars into simple sugars and breaking down pectin, a form of fiber in bananas that keeps them stiff. That’s why the older your banana is, the flimsier (不结实的) it feels.
The sweet flesh of a medium-sized banana contains great percentages of your daily recommended intake of various nutrients, such as:
-12% of your daily fiber, which helps with digestion and may help lower your risk of diabetes (糖尿病)
-17% of your vitamin C, which is important for your immune system as well as your growth
-20% of your vitamin B6, which aids the body’s ability to turn food into energy
-12% of your potassium, which helps with the development of cells, tissues, and organs throughout the body
If you eat the skin along with the flesh, you will get an even bigger increase in these same nutrients.
Eating the peel is not only good for your body but also better for the earth. The average American ate 11.4 pounds of bananas in 2014. Since a medium-sized banana weighs about 0.3 pounds, that equates to about 38 bananas per person, or about 12 billion for the whole of the U.S. And since most of us throw away the peel, that also means a lot of organic waste.
5. We can learn from the text that in the U.S. people .A.like eating bananas |
B.waste a lot of food every year |
C.don’t make good use of banana peel |
D.know little about the value of the flesh of bananas |

B.Making banana peel stay strong. |
C.Keeping banana flesh from going bad. |
D.Helping to soften and sweeten banana peel. |
A.Vitamin C. | B.Potassium. |
C.Vitamin B6. | D.Fiber. |
A.diet | B.economy |
C.environment | D.physical health |
Did the sailors see fish with feathers or swimming birds? Today, we know that the sailors saw birds that developed the ability to swim. Their wings became flippers, and they could “fly” through the water with amazing speed.
There are many types of penguins. Only two kinds raise their young on the continent of Antarctic. Adelie penguins grow up to 29 inches tall and have a white ring around each eye. Emperor penguins have yellow orange color near their necks. Standing about 35 inches tall, they are the tallest penguins living today.
Emperor penguins have nests on top of their feet. Father Emperor penguins keep the egg on top of their feet for more than two months, until the egg is ready to hatch. The mother penguin goes out for food during that time. Imagine holding an egg on your feet for two months until someone returns with food!
Male and female penguins are both good parents. Once the chicks hatch, both parents travel long distances to find food for them in the sea. It may be days before the parents return and the chicks eat again. When they return with food, the fun really begins. Chicks chase their parents, begging for food. Penguin chicks eat huge amounts at one time.
Eventually, the adult penguins stop feeding the chicks. This is nature’s way of forcing children to grow up. When the penguin chicks are hungry enough, they find their way to the sea. Without any swimming lessons, they make their way into the icy waters and swim as only penguins do.
9. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?
A.It is dangerous to sail in unfamiliar waters. |
B.The ice covers southern waters as far as we can see. |
C.Penguins seemed unusual when the sailors first saw them. |
D.It is difficult to find food if sailing in southern waters. |
A.fish with the ability to fly |
B.birds that had learned to swim |
C.birds that could fly into the sea |
D.fish with black and white feathers |
A.The chicks play games with each other while eating. |
B.The chicks run after the parents while trying to get food. |
C.The chicks have to find their way to the sea to get more food. |
D.The chicks have to search for the food the parents have hidden. |
A.must learn how to feed others |
B.have to find a new place to live |
C.have to find food by themselves |
D.need to adjust to the changeable weather |
Testing the five-second ruleYou may have seen a friend drop food on the floor, pick it up, and eat it, while declaring, “Five-second rule! ” It’s said that food dropped on the floor for five seconds or less is still likely to be clean.
A.But is that true? |
B.Carpeted surfaces posed the lowest risk. |
C.Of those people, the majority were women. |
D.We’ve just lost our last excuse to eat food off the floor. |
E.Usually people recover from the infection in five to ten days. |
F.There is still a risk of infection if certain bacteria are present on the dropped surface. |
G.A biologist points out that one in six Americans get sick from food poisoning every year. |
