【推荐1】Peter Shankman travels for a living, delivering speeches around the country. The last thing he wants to do in his spare time is travel from his home in New York.

So for the fifth year in a row, Shankman is donating hundreds of thousands of miles to people in need-----those who can’t afford to buy a flight, but intend to be with sick loved ones, or a parent who would like to see a faraway child.

Shankman posts his contest on the social media site Imgur, and other Imgur users vote for winners of Shankman’s miles. After the initial year of the giveaway, other travellers started seeing Shankman’s posts on Imgur and began donating their miles to his contest, multiplying the gift.

One of those donors is Rhys Ford, whose reason for donating her extra miles to Shankman’s “Home for the Holidays” giveaway is simple and heartfelt. “ There are many of us who have so much, and there are others who are far away from their family and can’t make it back for financial reasons,” she said.

Shankman said one of the big advantages of giving away his miles is that it allows him to pass along a lesson about giving to his son. Shankman’s goal, he said , is to help children and adults with ADHD(多动症) realize that they are not broken, but gifted.

“They just need to learn how to channel and use that power. I have ADHD, but I believe it is a huge part of my success,” said Shankman.

“People ask me how I verify the stories of people who win the free miles,” Shankman said. “And I tell them, ‘I can’t.’ But if someone goes to all this trouble to get a free trip somewhere, maybe this will help them in some way. As long as my miles keep adding up, I’m going to continue to give them away.

1. How are the winners of Shankman’s miles chosen ?

A．People vote on them on the Internet.

B．Shankman chooses them by himself.

C．The social media site decides on them.

D．They ask for Shankman’s help in person.

2. What got Ford to donate her miles ?

A．Shankman’s speech	B．Her kindness.
C．Her own experience	D．Her simple mind.

3. How can Shankman benefit from his donation?

C．He can stay at home much longer.	D．he gets a chance to influence his son.

4. What does the underlined word verify probably mean in the last paragraph ?

【推荐2】Confucius, a famous teacher , was a politician and philosopher who lived in “Spring and Autumn Period”. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China’s transformation by teaching thousands of people. Today, he is thought to be one of the world’s greatest teachers.

Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was to learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops.

Confucius did this until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their subjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline. For the rest of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school that taught both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Although he became very famous among China’s lower classes, the rulers of China never accepted his teachings. Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice.

【推荐1】China has entered the cinematic(电影制作的) space race. Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest grossing (票房收入) films in China’s history.

The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far, it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office（票房收入）.

Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.

“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban.

The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre(类型；体裁) that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.

Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.”

Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes（剧情漏洞） and cloying of sentimentality（刻意煽情） — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.

In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “Of course we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”

1. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word?

A．非常成功的事物	B．非常成功的人
C．外星人	D．英雄人物

2. What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?

【推荐2】Dr. Raint Mishor, of Georgetown University Hospital says many people believe it’s possible to become immune to colds. Unfortunately , that’s not the case . “ There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold and people think that once you get infected one time you develop immunity for the rest of your life . This is wrong . ‘‘She said .

There are many other common beliefs about colds that medical science doesn’t support. How many of us believe the main cause of the common cold is exposure to cold temperatures? Even some studies have shown that people get sick more frequently during the winter .

But Dr. Mishori says it is not because of cold weather. “ It’s because people tend to congregate and be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from one person to another is through handshake , through sneezing , or through coughing on one another.

While there is no actual cure for the common cold , Dr. Mishori says there are still a few things you can do to help reduce its duration and intensity . Though the medical community says Vitamin C does not help prevent colds , there is definitely some proof that it helps keep them from being as bad. “ So if you catch a cold and on day once you start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day there is evidence that it might shorten the number of days that you will be suffering with these symptoms.” Dr . Mishori stated.

In addition , medical science sys honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey .” There is increased evidence that it helps shorten the duration do the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children,” Dr. Mishori said. “ Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties so it helps reduce the duration of the cold but it also helps clear the mucus.

There’s also a common belief that you should “ feed a cold ant starve a fever.” Dr. Mishori says “ not necessary “. ‘ If you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything it’s not going to hurt you bur you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or you can drink tea anything that gets fluids into your body , “ she said , “ That’s very important.”

So if drinking fluids is a good idea What about milk ? “ I will never give milk to a a child who has got bad phlegm. My son used to have that and he would throw up . “ Nadine Audrewy , the Hemmens kids’ grandmother , believes it’s not a good idea to give milk to a child who has a cold .

Well ,says Dr. Mishori ,maybe and maybe not .” Dairy products do not cause increased secretions but they can thicken the secretions,” she explained. ‘So it’s possible that discomfort is somewhat more enhanced when you drink milk , but obviously if you are a baby and its’s all you drink then you should not stop giving babies milk.

There are many other myths about colds that do not pass science muster . Doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you . Even if it doesn’t make the cold better , it won’t make it worse either while you wait for the cold to just run its natural course.

【推荐3】The expression“a thirst for knowledge" may soon have a new meaning for millions of people who have no way to get clean water. Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can turn dirty water into clean and drinkable water. They say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.

About 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is polluted by harmful bacteria.

The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles (微粒) of silver. The pages can be used as filters（过滤器）to remove harmful microorganisms(微生物) that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it.

Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be cleaned.

Ms. Dankovich, the inventor, says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. She recently presented her invention at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. She was asked whether she had considered adding classic literature on the book's pages.

"The idea of classic texts—that's of interest maybe later. We have discussed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven't had the time to go through that part," she says.

Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful.

Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project.
