【推荐3】You need to be able to concentrate (集中注意力) if you want to get ahead in your study or career. And when you put your whole attention and energy into a task, it often means you’re doing your best work. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to improve your concentration.
Start by looking around your study place or work space, make sure that you’re completely comfortable. After all, if your chair is uncomfortable or your desk isn’t at the right height, your attention will be on how you feel and not on your work. If you study in a space where noise can affect you, try listening to instrumental music or white noise on your phone. White noise is a very quiet sound that is relaxing and pleasant to the ears of anyone.
Next, look at how you study or work. Do you often take mini-breaks to check phone calls? If this sounds like you, keep in mind that it will take several minutes to regain your focus every time you stop working on a task. Instead, set certain times to check your phone calls. If possible, turn off your phone to avoid temptaion(诱惑).
Also, remember that though it’s important to stay focused during the day, no one can do that all the time. In fact, you can improve your concentration by taking regular breaks, every 60 to 90 minutes. When you are taking a rest, you can stand up and stretch or walk down the hall to get some water. Stopping what you’re doing to move around will actually help you work better in the course of a day. Finally, if your classmate or anyone else disturbs you, and there’s a task that you really need to focus on, think about working somewhere else. Moving into an empty room or a library may be a good choice.

【推荐2】Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.
Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong house to fight against earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

【推荐3】Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs(屋顶). One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether (总共) over two hundred people were homeless(无家可归) after the storm.
A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I found that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him safe but very scared.”
Mrs. Wu Meifeng said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
“There was no time to take anything，” she said. “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”
Soldiers(战士)helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and something to stay at.

【推荐1】From goldfish to sharks, fish of all sizes have lived on Barth for hundreds of millions of years. But do they ever get thirsty?
The answer is yes! Some fish do, at least. But there is a big difference between fish that live in saltwater and ones that live in freshwater.
Bony fish have some salt concentration (含盐量) in their bodies. For bony fish in saltwater, their concentration is lower than the water they live in. Through osmosis (渗透作用) these fish will lose lots of water through their bodies. In order to make up for this loss, they drink lots of water, so it’s easy to say that they can be thirsty. Although drinking saltwater is never a good idea for humans, fish can drink it because they can get rid of the salt through their gills (鳃).
But sharks are an exception. Sharks can make their concentration match the water around them. They do this by building up urea (尿素) in their blood, so they probably don’t get very thirsty. But blood with a high salt concentration can also be bad. The high concentration means sharks won’t do very well in freshwater-water can enter the sharks’ bodies by osmosis and even cause them to explode!
Freshwater fish, on the other hand, are unlikely to become thirsty. Because they live in a less salty environment, they have a different problem: water goes inwards and dilutes (冲淡) their blood. Freshwater fish therefore need to get rid of this extra water. So now we know that saltwater fish can become thirsty and drink water, while freshwater fish will avoid drinking but pee (小便) a lot.
1. What’s the writer’s purpose of this article?| A．To show that fish have a long history of living on Earth. |
| B．To explain why fish of all sizes can become thirsty like humans. |
| C．To prove that fish are different in terms of whether they get thirsty. |
| A．Because they have a high salt concentration |
| B．Because they need to take in salt through their grills |
| C．Because they will lose lots of water through their bodies. |
| A．They don’t get thirsty at all because they live in saltwater. |
| B．Too much water in their blood can be bad. |
| C．They pee a lot after drinking too much water. |
| A．A science book | B．A travel guide | C．A fashion magazine |
【推荐2】What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.
Colors do influence our moods (情绪). A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area— until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.
1. An active person may like ____.| A．yellow, orange, or red | B．yellow, black, or red |

【推荐3】① DIY means “Do It Yourself”. It is quite popular in the UK.
② DIY can bring us fun. English people like DIY. A large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful. If they want to paint the walls or put in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. So more and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn（经济低迷）now, many people can not buy a big house. They are thinking about how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
③ DIY can be difficult. People often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished.
④ DIY can also be dangerous. Unluckily, many people don’t care about it and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

| Dear Bob, My roommate (室友) Jerry tries to talk to me too much. I don’t really like him, so I don’t like to talk to him. But whenever he notices that I’m free, he will come over to bother me. I want him to leave me alone, but I don’t want to hurt him. What should I do? —Peter |
| Dear Peter, I’m a pretty quiet person like you. I don’t really like to talk too much either — even with people I like. I can understand how you feel. And I might be able to give you some advice. Do you have other friends at school? Maybe you can just try to leave your dormitory (宿舍) and spend more time with your friends. You can also find a new hobby that takes up more of your time. If Jerry sees that you’re busy working on something, he might not bother you. However, you’d better just tell Jerry that you would like to stay alone. You don’t have to tell him that you don’t like him — just tell him that you’re a little shy. He will probably understand. —Bob |
