【推荐1】California is one of the richest states (州) in America. It is the third largest state in the United States in area, after Alaska and Texas. And California also has more people than any other state in the United States. Besides, it has lots of natural resources (资源). But not everything is perfect there. California has two important problems: earthquakes (地震) and forest fires.
The San Andreas Fault (断层) runs through California. As a result of it, the state gets many earthquakes. Some of the earthquakes are very strong. For example, there was a strong earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. Many buildings fell down. And the earthquake made a large number of fires happen. Up to 3,000 people died in it. There have also been many other strong earthquakes. Some people are afraid that a “big one” will hit the state someday. They think an earthquake will bring a huge number of problems.
During summer and autumn, much of California is dry. So forest fires or wildfires often start. Those fires can spread quickly and burn many forests. What’s worse, they also burn people’s homes. They often kill people before firefighters can put them out.

【推荐2】Millions of years ago, dinosaurs (恐龙) controlled the earth. And there were different types of dinosaurs on the earth. Some of them were no bigger than chickens, but all of them had very small brains (大脑). Later on, there weren’t any dinosaurs. What happened to them?
In the days of dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were many green forests. But the earth changed slowly all the time. When parts of the earth became cold and dry, the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough food to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
What’s another reason? We can make a guess. New kinds of animals came to the earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs. Some ate dinosaur eggs, too.
There may be other reasons that we do not know about. Each year, people will find some dinosaur footprints (脚印) and bones. Scientists are trying to tell us more about dinosaurs.

How do you decide if someone is smart? One way is to find out the person’s intelligence quotient (智商), or IQ.
A 12-year-old girl recently took an IQ test. People found that her IQ is higher than Albert Einstein’s and Stephen Hawking’s! Rajgauri Pawar, an Indian girl studying in England, scored 162 in the famous Mensa IQ test, reported the Independent.
Mensa, founded in England in 1946, is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. To become a Mensa member, you must have an IQ that falls in the top 2 percent of the population that take the tests. Hawking got a score of 160. Although Einstein never took the test, experts said his score would be the same as Hawking’s.
However, what does having a high IQ mean? Will those with a high IQ definitely become the next Einstein or Hawking?
Not necessarily. Most IQ tests, including the Mensa one, test one’s ability in math, language and memory. However, these tests don’t test abilities like knowing how to make things work, according to Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, US. It doesn’t test your creativity or curiosity (好奇心), either.
Also, a lot of things can affect one’s IQ score, including being poor, food, stress and how familiar you are with the tests.
Lisa Van Gemert, a Mensa expert, said that good habits, perseverance and a strong work spirit are just as important as intelligence.
“If you don’t develop those other qualities, you can waste a smart IQ,” she said.
1. What abilities won’t be tested in the Mensa IQ test?| A．math, language and memory | B．language, memory and creativity |
| C．work, creativity and curiosity | D．work, language and curiosity |
| A．反映 | B．组成 | C．产生 | D．影响 |
| A．To become a Mensa member, your IQ must exceed (超过) 98 % of the total population that take the tests. |
| B．According to the tests, Albert Einstein is as smart as Stephen Hawking. |
| C．The only way to tell whether the person is smart is IQ. |

A password is like a key to your home. If someone steals(偷) it, he’ll get chances to steal something else. We use passwords everywhere in our life. We are so used to passwords that we don’t pay any attention to(注意) them until we lose or forget one.
A study of 28,000 passwords recently stolen from a popular website showed that people often do the easy thing. It found that 16 percent took a first name as a password. Another 14 percent used the easiest keyboard combinations(键盘组合) such as 12345678 or QWERTY. 5 percent of the stolen passwords were names of television shows or stars popular with young people. 3 percent of the passwords expressed feelings like “I don’t care”, “whatever”, “I love you”, or their opposite(反义词), “I hate you”.
Robert Graham, who did the study, advises people to choose a password that is longer than eight characters(字符) with one capital letter(大写字母) and one symbol(符号).
Of course, safe passwords don’t mean those hard to remember. Forgetting your password is sometimes a big headache for you. Maybe, the best password is easy for you and hard for others.

【推荐1】Later School Start Helps Kids Get Zzz
Teenagers have been sleeping less. This is an issue all across the United States. Research from Harvard Medical School shows that having less sleep can make teens fat and cause some developmental problems. Because of the increasing use of devices like smartphones and computers, students today are staying up late. Many teens use them long after dark. “At night, I am on my phone and I just want to stay up. I often wake up so tired that I wish I could go back to sleep,” Hazel Ostrowski, a high school student, said.
To make matters worse, 93% of high schools and 83% of middle schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 a. m. That time goes against official health advice from American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会). Schools do not want late start times, because it will cause traffic problems. Parents also want older kids to come home early to watch younger kids in the afternoons.
But some studies suggest that students between the ages of 11 and 17 get enough sleep on school nights. Therefore, some researchers suggest starting school late.
Researchers are studying later school start times in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle School District (区) made a big time change in the fall of 2016. The change was for high schools and most middle schools. Before, the first bell rang at 7:50 a. m. After the change, classes began at 8:45 a. m.
The researchers worked with science teachers at two high schools in Seattle, and 178 teenagers took part in the study. They wore activity monitors to discover whether a later start to the school day would help them get more sleep. The researchers compared sleep habits (习惯) of these teens in spring 2016，before the change, to sleep habits of them from spring 2017, after later start times began.
What changed was wake-up time. Morning wake-up time changed from 6:24 a. m. to 7:08 a. m. Falling asleep changed only a bit. It went from 11 :27p. m. to 11:38 p. m.
Researchers noticed that there were fewer late students after the changes. The study also found the students got about 34 more minutes of sleep each night. Students also felt less sleepy in the daytime. Their grades improved as well. It seems a later start to school is helping students.

【推荐1】If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends. Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier.
Try speaking to the people next to you in class. As they're close by, it does good to communicate with them first.
Have courage to speak to everyone in your class. You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them.
If you don’t have many friends in your class, try and make new friends in your subject lessons. You can also talk with them at lunchtime and after school.
Join a lunchtime or afterschool club. You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way.
Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil.
Use your celebrity status! Since you’re the new person, you’ll have gained celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks. Talk to people, remember to smile and always be open and friendly. Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important.
As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?
But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, try and ask someone you’re friendly with what is happening. If the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to spend time with lunchtime.
