【推荐1】I remembered I had a gun if I needed it, and turned back towards this man of the island. He was hiding behind another tree but stepped out to meet me.

“Who are you?” I asked, staring at him.

“Ben Gunn”, he answered, and his voice sounded rough and strange. His skin was burnt nearly black by the sun and his clothes were made from pieces of a ship's sail. “Poor Ben Gunn, he went on.” Alone for three years.

“Were you shipwrecked(船遇难)?” I asked.

“No, my friend”, he said. “Marooned.”

I had heard the word before, and knew it meant cruel(残忍的) punishment often used by pirates-leaving a man alone on some distant, empty island.

“Marooned for three years,” he continued, “living on wild goats and fish. But I'm in great need for real English food back home. You don't have a piece of cheese, do you? Many nights I've dreamed of cheese.”

He continued. “Well, tell me your name.”

“Jim,” I told him.

“Well, Jim”, he said, looking around and lowering his voice to a whisper, “I'm rich”. I was now sure the poor man was crazy, but he repeated his words. “Rich, I say! Now, Jim, that isn't Flint's ship, is it?”

I began to think that I had found a friend, and I answered him at once. “It's not Flint's ship any more. Flint is dead, but there are still some of Flint's men aboard, and that's bad news for us.”

“A man with one leg?” he asked, fear in his voice.

“Silver?” I asked.

“Yes, Silver,” he said, “that was his name.”

“He's the cook, and their leader too. And told him the fight between Flint and the cook, and the danger we were now in.”

“You're in trouble, Jim,” he said when I'd finished. “Well, Ben Gunn will help you. Will your squire(乡绅) be generous if do, do you think? I don' t want him to give me a job, but will he give me one thousand pounds out of money that's really mine?”

“I'm sure he will,” I said.

【推荐2】Five years later, Aladdin became the owner of a shop in the market and three market-sellers worked for him. The sellers liked Aladdin because he was good to them, as well as the market children as he gave them money when he walked past. Everybody liked Aladdin.

Aladdin’s mother never called her son a good-for-nothing now. They lived in a nice house near the gardens and she had many beautiful things which she could hardly dream of before. But only Aladdin and his mother knew about the magic lamp and the jinnee.

One day a noise stopped Aladdin. ‘The Sultan’s daughter is coming,’ he heard. ‘Princess Badr-al-Budur is coming!’

A litter which was decorated by countless jewelry and carried by six slaves showed up in the street. All the people forgot to walk, staring at her. ‘Princess! Princess Badr-al-Budur!’ a hooray burst suddenly.

Aladdin watched in the crowd when the litter came past him, and he saw the Princess’s face. Her skin was as white as milk with big-dark eyes shining like diamonds in black velvet. Her silky hair with tiny gold bells was the only thing in Aladdin’s eyes. The litter disappeared, but for some minutes he did not move.

Then he ran home, “Mother! Mother! I saw the Sultan’s daughter, Princess Badra-Budur, in the street.” Aladdin’s face was pale.

“But, Aladdin ...”

“No ‘buts’, Mother. I love the Princess and I want to marry her. Go to the Sultan and ask for me.”

“Me? Go to the Sultan’s palace? No, no, no,” Aladdin’s mother said, “Listen, my son. The daughters of a Sultan do not marry poor boys from the city.”

“But we are not poor now, Mother. And we can give the Sultan something for his daughter. Wait!”

Aladdin went away and got the fruit from the magic garden under the ground. Now, of course, he knew it was not fruit, but jewels in different sizes and colors.

“Take these jewels, Mother, on a gold plate,” he said, “and give them to the Sultan.”

【推荐3】I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However；I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure（围场）pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto（座右铭）, which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become art of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action", it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL（牺牲的）Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

【推荐1】Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices. Some eye doctors say all that screen time has led to an increase in “computer vision syndrome(电脑视力综合征)”.

Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an eye doctor in Tampa, Florida, he has seen an increase in problems in children. “A lot more children who are coming into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red or watery eyes or discomfort, their near-sightedness, appears to be increasing at a fast rate and they’re worried,” he says.

Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely to pay no attention to the early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever taken away,” he explains.

He says another part of the problem is that people blink less often when they use digital devices. “The average person who uses a computer or an electronic device blinks about a third as much as we normally do in everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying and not staying wet and protected like normal.”

Eye doctors offer suggestions like the following which is known as the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.

Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting. Of course, another way to avoid eye tiredness is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.

While more and more eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children. Dr. David Hunter says he has also seen an increase in his practice. “While it is possible to develop tired looking at various screens for a long period of time, researchers still need to find the exact cause in order to give children more effective suggestions.”

1. Why don’t some children tell their parents even if their eyes feel uncomfortable?

A．Because their parents are always busy with their work.

B．Because they consider it normal to feel uncomfortable.

C．Because they don’t want to lose their freedom to use computers.

D．Because they don’t think their parents can deal with it properly.

2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Children under two can watch TV for less than two hours a day.

B．Dr. Bonilla-Warford thinks using computers causes nearsightedness.

C．Dr. David Hunter says headache causes an increase in eye problems.

D．People keep their eyes protected against drying by blinking normally.

3. What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Looking at Screen: Two Hours or More

B．How Can Children Use Their Eyes Properly

C．How Much Screen Time Is Too Much for Children

D．Using Digital Devices: Advantages and Disadvantages

【推荐3】Bacteria Cafeteria

Every day, people use teeth to cut, tear, and chew food. They eat most of the food. But bits of food stick to their teeth. People’s mouths are filled with bacteria (细菌). They eat the bits of food. The bacteria increase and build up on the teeth. And they can quickly form a coating called plaque (牙斑).

The bacteria in the plaque produce acid (酸). More acid is created when someone eats food which has sugar or starch. Candy and cookie are sugary foods. Potato chips have starch. The acid from the bacteria goes to work on the teeth. Each tooth has a protective covering called enamel (釉质). It’s the hardest material in the body. But the acid is strong enough to eat through the enamel. This creates tooth decay (蛀蚀).

Next, the acid can work its way inside the tooth. Under the enamel is softer material called dentine. Acid quickly eats through the dentine, creating a hole called a cavity. Then the acid can reach the pulp (髓) inside the dentine. The pulp has blood vessels (血管) that feed the tooth. It also has nerves (神经). When the nerves get hurt, a person may feel a toothache.

A dentist should fix tooth decay. Bodies can repair broken bones but not decayed teeth. That’s because enamel and dentine aren’t living things. Dentists clean out the decay and fill the space with strong material.

But tooth decay should be prevented in the first place. People should visit the dentist twice a year. Dentists clean and examine the teeth. They can treat any tooth problems early. People should also take care of their own teeth. To remove bits of food, bacteria, and acid, people should clean them between their teeth at least once a day. They should also brush their teeth at least twice a day — even when they don’t feel like it!

1. The purpose of the article is to ________.

A．explain how bacteria work	B．give a talk on tooth health
C．advertise for a dentist hospital	D．remind people to care about tooth health

2. What does acid do?

A．It makes teeth stronger.	B．It eats through tooth enamel.
C．It produces bacteria in the mouth.	D．It cleans the teeth and protects them.

3. The title “Bacteria Cafeteria” means ________.

A．bacteria and cafeteria rhyme with each other

B．a cafeteria serves food, and you eat food there

C．your mouth is like a cafeteria where bacteria can grow

D．you eat in a cafeteria, and it has a lot of bacteria growing there

Never too old to learn

活到老学到老

Very few of us become smooth in another language by studying it in high school.

I went to university and then moved across the country, had a hard job, married and raised children. I made an effort to keep the little bit of French that I learned in school, but finally realized that this was pointless. I fully realized that new languages are best learned when young, and that our abilities in that regard go down with age.

However, just before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes. After I was tested to see which group I belonged in, I was placed at almost the starting level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was struck by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or even fifth language. I used to think it was impossible to learn a new language, but some people can learn them easily. I discovered that some language skills weaken as we get older.

While I’d always thought of myself as a quick learner, that was no longer the case. I learned new words very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to slip away as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again.

Now, a couple of years in, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn’t go too fast.

I can still achieve many things, who knows what?

I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the courage to make fools of themselves in order to learn something new. I’ve been taught by patient teachers from many corners of the world, including France, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and Africa.

Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a new understanding of how something can look completely different from another view. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of thinking.

But most of all, I’ve learned that it really is never too late to learn something new.

1. When did the writer first realize that new languages are best learned when young?

A．In high school.

3. How did the writer used to feel about learning a new language?

A．It was easy for everyone.	B．It was impossible for everyone.

A．Remembering new words.	B．Understanding grammar.
C．Speaking with native speakers.	D．Reading scientific novels.

5. Why did the writer believe it’s better to learn a language at a young age?

A．It is easier for young people to memorize new vocabulary.

B．Old people are less patient with themselves to learn new things.

C．Our abilities to learn a language go down with age.

D．Young people are more motivated to learn new languages.

【推荐2】When you sleep somewhere else—like at a summer camp or a friend's house, you know you're in for a fun time. It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house. But fun as this is, for some kids being away from home can be scary and sad. It's called being homesick.
Homesick means you are upset, sad, and maybe scared. But don't feel surprised. A lot of people get homesick, even grown-ups. When you're used to having certain people around you, it can be scary when they are gone. When you are dealing with other problems, you will feel homesick, too. Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced(离婚) or if someone they loved has recently died.
Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.
Bring a little bit of home with you. If you're going away from home, bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will be apart from and look at them any time you want.
Keep busy. The more fun things you do, the less time you'll have to feel homesick. So try to join in activities wherever you are.
Stay in touch. You can make a plan for when you will call your mum or dad. You can also send e-mails or text messages to keep in touch with family and friends. When you do get in touch with someone, make sure to talk about the fun things you're doing!
Talk to someone where you are. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.

【推荐3】When I was in the third grade, I watched a video that recreated the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb (墓). I remember Howard Carter peering through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see: “Wonderful things!” Carter said. From that moment. I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

Today, I’m lucky to work as an archeologist (考古学家). I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt’s Nile Delta. It’s exciting work. Sometimes you find something that was buried three thousand years ago. Holding a piece of history is an amazing feeling. So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right? Not quite! The road wasn’t easy. I did my studies — university, then a PhD. But along the way I was told many things: I was too young, I wasn’t qualified, I should get married and have kids. I also needed money, so I applied for six grants (津贴). The first five replies I got said no. Six months later, the last reply came. This time it was yes. Finally. I could start my own excavation (发掘).

For anyone thinking about a career, I would say: Never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people tell you no, use that — it will push you. At the beginning, it hurts. But the next no hurts a little less. It makes you stronger and actually helps you.

Second, focus on your goals. And I stress yours, you don’t have to follow other people. If they say something has never been done, make it happen. You may be the first to do it! There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end.

1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To explain the challenges the writer faced at school.

【推荐1】When the woman finds out that she is pregnant. People in China always say that she "has happiness".

The first month in life of a baby is very important. It is a Chinese tradition that parents hold a celebration for their baby's first full month of life. It is called "Moon-yut" in Chinese, which is also known as Chinese full month celebration. In the past, the newborn babies were difficult to survive because lots of people were very poor at that time. People believed that a baby who reached one month was going to survive. So on the morning of a baby's 30th day, families prepared offerings for gods so that they can protect the baby in his or her life.

The red egg and ginger party tradition is an ancient Chinese custom to introduce newborn babies to others. Guests joining the party bring presents. Babies get "lucky money" in red envelopes. There are some other presents. Legend has it that the tiger was the king of all animals in China. It is believed that tigers can protect babies. That is why people bring presents like tiger hats, tiger shoes and other similar objects.

The guests are given red eggs and ginger as presents. It's a way to thank them for coming and giving best wishes to the child. Eggs are symbols of life changes and the red color in China means good luck. The round shape shows harmony and happiness in life. Ginger also has its symbolic meaning. In Chinese cooking, it's very important to keep a balance between the Yin (cold) and Yang (warm). Ginger adds a spicy touch to nutritional needs of a new mother, who is tired and weak (or the Chinese would see yin) after pregnancy and giving birth. To get stronger, new mothers in China traditionally drink a special soup made of pig's feet, eggs and ginger.

【推荐2】Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses (吻). So, I really doubt (怀疑) whether (是否) there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money to pay the schooling for me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV, and sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even impossible.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was love between them. She stopped her work and looked up with surprise. Then she bowed (弯下) her head and continued sewing the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I hurt her. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly (几乎不) be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.
My mother suddenly got sick seriously and had to stay in the hospital for a one-month treatment. Every morning and dusk (黄昏) after she returned from the hospital, my father helped my mother walk slowly on the country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone them through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they loved each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love was just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

【推荐3】My brother Stanley died last January from cancer（癌症），and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed（见证） the care he received and，at the time，I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.

While Stanley was sick，I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider's view of the care Stanley received，when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However，as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly(严厉的).

We experienced long waits in emergency departments（急症室），and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley's case. We waited around for doctors to arrive，but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley's senior doctor. Near the end，he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used，"he said. And with that，he left，never to be seen again.

All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart？After Stanley died，I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals，while I took a year out. I simply couldn't face working in medicine.

Finally，I applied for （申请）and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself，and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to tell someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn't always answer patients' questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured，or how long they would live，but it wasn't always possible to say.

It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessional (不专业) or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.

I began to see my patients as Stanley，and myself no longer as his sister，but one of his caregivers.

Now I was in their shoes-the people who spend every day caring for others.

I still miss Stanley horribly，but at least now the anger has gone.
