1 . What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It’s important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not elevators.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may get into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

3 . Have you ever heard of Earth Day? On Earth Day, we think about life on our beautiful planet. Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 and people celebrate it in the third week of April every year.
The purpose of Earth Day is to bring different groups of people to care for environmental problems. Gaylord Nelson, an American had the idea of an Earth Day. He hopes the day would make governments and people pay attention to the different environmental problems on our planet. He found that everyone would have to work together to help the environment. And the first Earth Day also helped pass the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts (法令).
Earth Day is usually celebrated with outdoor activities. Some people plant new trees. Some pick up roadside rubbish. Others ask governments for stronger action(行动) to stop environmental pollution. Programs about environmental problems are often on TV on Earth Day.
To describe Earth Day, people use these symbols such as a drawing of the planet earth, a tree, a flower or leaves meaning growth. Colours used for Earth Day include(包括) natural colors such as green, brown or blue.

4 . Several cars waited at the top of a slope (斜坡). As the whistle blew, the cars sped down the slope. Spectators (观众) cheered and clapped. But this was not a normal car race. The cars were made out of food.
Students at Orefield Middle School in Pennsylvania, US, held the race early last month. They spent several weeks making their cars. The race was part of the school’s STEMM class. STEMM stands for science, technology, engineering, math and medicine.
The rules of the race were strict. The only non-food items allowed were toothpicks and popsicle sticks (冰棒棍). Some students used round bread or cookies for wheels. Some used a steak roll for the body.
For some students, the most difficult part was not making the car, but trying not to eat the tasty food. “If you ate any of it, you got out,” James Cipolla, 13, told The Morning Call.
Cipolla worked with three other students on their car. They put a marshmallow (棉花糖) at the base of their car to help it move easily. But it melted during the race and didn’t make it to the finals.
“We still had fun anyway,” said 14-year-old Andrew Maitski. “We learned about engineering and the basic parts of a car.”

5 . It's late at night, the weather is bad, and you're hungry. Your favourite restaurant is less than a mile away, but you don't want to pay a $5 delivery (递送) fee. So, what do you do? Back in the old days, you would have braved the weather. But those days are coming to an end, at least in Washington.
A group of about 20 knee-high robots recently has come out on the sidewalks (人行道) of the nation's capital. Their tasks are to bring take-out food from restaurants to hungry customers at home while keeping the delivery cost to around a dollar.
The robots are European, created in Estonia by a company called Starship Technologies. Each of them is a middle-sized cooler on six wheels, and drives at an average (平均的) speed of about 4 miles per hour, about the speed of a walker. It has lights and a tall, bright orange flag so that it can be noticed by people on the sidewalk.
Here in Washington, Starship has teamed up with Postmates, the online delivery service, and the robots already are completing deliveries around the city. They move almost silently. They are electric, so there isn't much sound, except for their wheels. Their cameras recognize a lot-including traffic lights and stop signs.
The robots have only been in Washington for about a month, and they're still causing quite a stir (轰动), often getting stopped for photos. A young mother Maria Garcia is on the sidewalk, pointing out the robot to her daughter. "It's super cool," she says, "But the only thing that makes me worry about-is it going to put people out of jobs?
The company does not see robots as a replacement (代替), says Russell Cook, the director of Postmates. "We have people that drive cars, walk, and bike, and we see robots as another type of vehicle that helps us to offer deliveries," he says.
1. What does the underlined word "It" refer to?| A．The walker. | B．The robot. | C．The company. | D．The car. |
| A．They were developed by a US company. | B．They are able to travel at a high speed. |
| C．They create little noise while working. | D．They can communicate with walkers. |
| A．They may not be as safe as expected. | B．They may cause a stir on the sidewalk. |
| C．They may be destroyed by some people. | D．They may take the place of deliverymen. |
| A．A leading online delivery company. | B．Delivery robots in Washington, D. C.. |
| C．The recent development of Postmates. | D．People's growing worry about robots. |

7 . Where can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them. The show is called National Treasure. Now, the National Treasure 2 was on show on CCTV 3 on December 9, 2018.
In National Treasure 2, it has 10 episodes (集). It shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different ways to explain the story history and culture behind them.
Although it’s a show about old relics, it looks modern and technical. An IMAX-sized LED screen on the stage shows the treasures in detail. The treasures are presented by National treasure keepers, both famous people and common people. Instead of just telling the stories and history behind the treasures, the show invites famous actors to be national treasures keepers, and they act out the stories on the stage. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. For example, on the show, actor Zhang Ruojun played Neier. TV viewers loved his performances.
While telling the stories behind the treasures, National treasure keepers also tell their own stories. For example, an old man named Qiu Qingnian who is good at making natural paints for repairing ancient paintings. For many years, he has been looking for mines deep inside mountains. What he said and what he did both show his memes(文化基因). On the TV program, he shows TV viewers how to make natural paints.
The show has become widely popular with its interesting plots, good performances and funny words. It has promoted (推广) ancient cultural relics and has encouraged more people to visit museums.

8 . No matter where a video game is played, on a handheld device(装置), the Internet or the television, too much gaming is a bad thing. Playing too many video games is a problem for kids and there are many signs that show the negative(消极的) influences.
If young people are always thinking about when they can play a video game, that is a sign that they have lost themselves in it. If they give up other hobbies that they used to love, that is also a problem. Many kids who choose to spend all their free time playing video games will make up ways to play the game instead of communicating with others. Leaving sports teams or clubs, refusing to go outside to play with friends, and choosing to stay home from birthday parties are all signs that video games have taken over the child’s attention.
In addition to negative behaviours, there are health problems from playing too many video games. If video game players skip meals or lose sleep because they stayed up too late playing games, this can negatively influence their health. Sitting in front of a game for more than two hours a day instead of getting up and being active can result in childhood obesity(肥胖症). Moreover, backaches, headaches and strained(紧张的) eyes can be caused by playing too many video games.

9 . Students learn their lessons in class. In class, teachers teach them. Students sit in the classroom, listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not, there is another way to learn. That is — students can teach themselves. For example, if you cannot remember something when you are doing homework, you can look at your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it is not a difficult thing. We can do this at any place and at any time.
How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don't understand, or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions by yourself by thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by yourself. If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed(成功) in your study.
