Do you know how many bones（骨头）are there in your body? When you were a baby you had about 330 bones, and now you have just over 200 bones. Because some bones join together as you grow.

The longest and strongest bone in your body is in your leg. It is strong and it carries your weight. It is also a very important bone because it helps you move. Would you believe there is a special bone called stirrup（镫骨）in your ear? Because it’s the smallest bone in your body. The bone allows the sound waves（声波）to reach your brain, then you hear the sound. Hah! The funny bone isn’t really a bone at all. It is actually a nerve（神经）. That bone is called the humerus（肱骨）, which sounds like the word “humorous”, meaning “funny”.

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it's not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what's going on, then tell your brain, `and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds; but is controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ （器官），There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells（细胞）in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you're -18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You' won't be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleep，the brain works for long-term memory establishment（建立）. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human live.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.

1. Is super computer much more powerful than the brain?
2. What can check out what's going on when the glass is about to fall off the table?
3. How much does the brain weigh?
4. What does the underlined word "That" refer to in Paragraph 2?
5. When will your brain stop growing?

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice. As a kind of material, paper is widely considered to be greener than plastic. However, it may come as a surprise when we find out the truth.

Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as we all know, can reduce carbon dioxide (减少二氧化碳) levels in the air. They can slow down climate (气候) change. The use of more paper bags can lead to more acts of cutting down trees.

Secondly, products made of paper require more energy and water. About 10% more energy and four times more water are used to produce a paper bag than to make a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand-new paper bag.

Thirdly, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more oil to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while to transport the same number of plastic bags, one truck is enough. Once the bags are thrown away, the increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste.

So, paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are harmful to our planet, as well as the plastic ones. Is there anything we can do to protect our planet?

The most environment-friendly solution is to avoid single-use products. Products like glass bottles and steel straws can be reused easily. They are much more eco-friendly(对生态环境友好的) than either paper products or plastic ones. By increasing the usage of these products, we can greatly reduce the throw-away waste in our daily life and save more resources. If so, we can truly make our planet greener!

How to make our planet greener
Introduction	It is not     1     that using paper instead of plastic will be greener.
Explanations:   why using paper products isn’t a good way	2     more acts of cutting down trees. Trees can slow down climate change by     3     carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

【推荐2】Venus is close to the earth. It is the second planet from the sun. The earth is the third planet from the sun. Venus is similar (相似的) to the earth in size and mass (质量). It is often described as the earth’s “sister”.

Scientists have been learning about Venus for a long time. First they looked at Venus through telescopes (望远镜). But Venus is covered with thick clouds. Scientists could not see Venus well through the clouds. So they made guesses about it.

For a long time, scientists thought that Venus had water and plants. They thought Venus might have animals too. But they didn’t know for sure.

Then scientists found a way to learn more about Venus. In the 1960s, they began sending probes (航天探测器) to Venus. The probes flew through the thick clouds. They took pictures of Venus up close. They found out many things too. The probes sent the pictures and things they found out back to the scientists.

The scientists learned a lot from the probes. First they learned that most of their guesses were not right. And they learned that Venus is very hot.

After that, scientists knew they could not send people to Venus. But they still wanted to know more about it. So they sent new probes. These new probes took great pictures of the planet. The pictures showed that Venus has plains (平原) and mountains! And in some ways, Venus looks like the earth.
