1 . The start of a new year is a very wonderful time to take up something. Maybe that’s why so many people make New Year’s resolutions. People hope they’ll stop their bad habits and start good ones. However, a study shows that about 80% of people break their New Year’s resolutions before February. Why does this happen? That’s because they don’t make or keep their resolutions the right way. The following ideas may be helpful.
First, your resolutions should be specific (具体的). Don’t make a resolution like “I’m going to get healthy this year.” It doesn’t tell you what you need to do to become healthy. Make a specific one like “Get healthy by eating less and doing some running every morning.”
Second, just take it easy. It takes time to start a new habit. Never expect to reach your goals (目标) in just a few days or weeks.
Third, share your resolutions with others. Tell what your resolutions are to your family or close friends or join a group with the same goals as you. These people will help you to reach your goals when you want to give up (放弃).

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you are not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is impolite to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious.”Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I found it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.

“Where is my wealth (财富)?” the young man asked.
“It’s with you. Your eyes are your wealth. You use them to see the world. You use them to see all beautiful things in the world. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to help eat food. Your legs are your wealth. You can go to any places.” the smart man said.
“You call these wealth? But everyone has them.” the young man said.
“These are wealth. What you have now is not what someone else can luckily have. Are you able to give your eyes to me? I can give you a lot of money to exchange for them.” the smart man said.
“No, I’m not going to do so! My eyes are important to me!” the young man said.

8 . What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance（一瞥）?
On September 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye﹣catching feature（特色）﹣Face ID.
With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a so﹣called True Depth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.
When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30, 000 unseen dots（点）to "map"（勾画）the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored（储存）in the phone.
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks.
This happens in less than a second.
Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.
Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns（担心）. For example, will Face ID work for twins?
According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating（出错率） rises. So one would need to set a password then.
Apple also emphasizes（强调）that Face ID only unlocks when you stare at it. It is what Apple calls "attention aware（察觉）". So the phone won't unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.
1. The new function（功能） of the iPhone X is that you can unlock it with ________.| A．a sign | B．a password | C．a fingerprint | D．Face ID. |

| C．change your hairstyle | D．use the iPhone X in the dark |
| A．your parents | B．your classmates |
| C．your twin brother | D．your best friend |

| B．Face ID is a program to unlock the iPhone X |
| C．people worry about the safety of using Face ID |
