We face problems in our everyday life.     1    Don't worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.


Be aware of problem

First of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly.     2    . Following questions like why, what,  how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.


Analyze the problem

Analyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution.     3    . They can be diagrams(图表),  flowcharts or a lists, etc.


Plan a strategy(策略)

Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the advantages and disadvantages of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don't find worthy to apply.

    4    

Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problems as we tend to overlook the important information.


Carry out the solution

Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. You need to be creative while actualizing(实施)a solution just in case some other problem arises while applying the solution.     5    

A.Remove unrelated information.
B.You can use various tools to study the problem.
C.Use yes or no questions to get better information.
D.Knowing the problem means solving half the problem itself.
E.They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work.
F.Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only half way.
G.Spend 10% of the time analyzing the problem and 90% on the solution, not the opposite.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们不要把万圣节时用过的南瓜扔进树林里,这对野生动物有害。

【推荐1】One of the most exciting parts of Halloween is getting pumpkins (南瓜) to decorate the inside and outside of your home. You might even enjoy carving out Jack O Lanterns and might even keep the pumpkins around until they are right at the end of looking good. So what do you do once it’s time to deal with them?

A lot of people think that it’s a good idea to throw them into the woods in order to feed them to wildlife. You would think that it’s better to do that rather than throw them in the trash. However, this is why wildlife experts are warming against doing that.

While the idea is reasonable, it is actually causing a lot of harm to the local creatures. A myth seems to have built up that leaving pumpkins in woods helps wildlife.

One of the biggest issues is that these pumpkins are frequently eaten by hedgehogs (刺猬) that are looking to gain as much weight as possible in this time of the year before winter kicks in. However, the pumpkin is actually bad for their little stomachs, causing them to experience dehydration and diarrhoea, eventually causing them to lose weight, and in some cases their lives.

Of course, while Jack O Lanterns are lovely to look at, a lot of people throw them out without cleaning out any of the candles, plastic, or anything else that has been added as decorations. This can cause damage and can even be deadly to wildlife that end up eating these thrown-away pumpkins. The rotting pumpkins could attract wildlife that is not meant to be in that specific area, like rats.

If you’re wondering what you should be doing with these old pumpkins instead, experts have some suggestions. You could try to compost (堆肥) them on your own at home. Another alternative is to ask a local farm if they want to accept them as donations. Just make sure that the way you deal with these pumpkins doesn’t end up causing harm.

1. What is a possible result of hedgehogs eating pumpkins?
A.They put on weight.B.Their health improves.
C.They get in danger.D.Their diets change.
2. What’s the problem with used pumpkins?
A.They are unfit to eat.B.They can’t break down easily.
C.They are not available in abundance.D.They attract too much.
3. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Pumpkin harm you should avoid.
B.Benefits coming from the old pumpkins.
C.Places where used pumpkins are needed.
D.Suggestions on dealing with used pumpkins.
4. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?
A.Thrown-Away Pumpkins Attract Rats
B.Never Throw Old Pumpkins into Woods
C.Pumpkins Bring Great Fun to Holidays
D.Avoid Pumpkin Decorations for Holidays

【推荐2】How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.

You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where you only saw dark space before. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescope you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.

But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.

That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.

You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.

As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.

Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in towards its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump—the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything—even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.

So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eyes! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes—the great mystery of space.

1. According to the article, what causes a star to die?
A.As its gases run out, it cools down.B.It crashes into other stars.
C.It can only live for about a million years.D.As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.
2. Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 mainly tells us ______.
A.what a black hole isB.why we can’t see black holes
C.black holes have enormous gravityD.the formation of black holes
3. What happens AFTER a star dies?
A.It burns up all of its gases.B.It becomes invisible.
C.It falls to Earth.D.It becomes brighter and easier to see.
4. Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?
A.Most black holes are so far away.
B.Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.
C.Because as the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.
D.Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.

文章大意:本文是说明文,介绍了对发光植物的相关研究。

【推荐3】Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence but, for many of us, seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat: Catching the glow of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.

Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing a plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health, and the side-effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.

A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter, and for a longer period of time, than previous efforts. Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.

The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Planta, a biotech startup in Moscow. When this team examined a poisonous mushroom, they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted enzymes — which are specific to the mushroom — into the DNA of tobacco plants. In turn, the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants, and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.

This method, the scientists claimed, made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged — but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant, bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.

1. How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?
A.By making it greener.B.By monitoring its glow.
C.By testing the chemicals in it.D.By putting it in the living room.
2. What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?
A.They will appear on the market.B.They may take the place of lamps.
C.They can light up a whole living room.D.They glow less bright than previous efforts.
3. What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?
A.They inserted caffeic acid into it.
B.They made it give out brighter light.
C.They grew it on the tobacco plant farm.
D.They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.
B.Warning of the light production’s harm to plants.
C.Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.
D.Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.
