2 . It seems that food deliverymen（送货员）are always in a hurry. Many of them don't follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.
The dangerous behavior has caught the public's attention. In the first half of 2018, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes food deliverymen face such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies may be the answer. Many companies will fine a delivery man up to 2, 000 yuan if he fails to deliver an order on time. Fines also go to those food delivery men who get bad reviews from customers. In Shanghai alone, over 60, 000 delivery men complete 5 million deliveries every day. The high need for these service in city centers often results in rushing deliverymen breaking traffic rules.
In order to solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their management systems. Some cities are also taking actions, Shanghai has asked companies to train their delivery men on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a food delivery man gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned（禁止）from driving food service delivery vehicles（车）for a whole year.
1. The first paragraph introduces problems about food delivery men.2. In the first half of last year, food delivery men had 76 traffic accidents in China.

3 . What should we do if one of our classmates suddenly falls ill or gets hurt? Here are some steps you should follow. But always remember to look for medical care after first aid (急救) if the wound is serious.
Broken bones (骨头) : Take away clothing from the wound. Use an ice pack. Don’t move the hurt body part while waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Animal bites (咬伤) : Wash the bite area with soap and water. Pack the wound with a clean cloth if it is bleeding. If the bleeding has stopped, cover the area with a bandage (绷带) and take the person to the hospital. Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is, so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once.
Fainting (昏厥) : Have him or her lie with feet lifted a little. Don’t move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let in fresh air. Clean the person’s face with a cool cloth.
Nosebleeds:Have the person sit up with his or her head tilted (倾斜) forward a little. Do not have the person tilt his or her head back because this may cause heavy breathing or coughing. Pinch (捏) the lower part of the nose for at least 10 minutes.

4 . Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to beat—this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex(复杂) thing we have discovered in our universe”.
Can this small grey organ(器官), which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains(包含) about 100 billion neurons(神经元)—it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).
So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory(感觉的) organs.
But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends “bike riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.
1. From the passage we know that neurons ________.| A．receive messages very slowly | B．are only found in your skin |
| C．send messages to your brain | D．need electricity to work |
| A．your brain will power a light bulb | B．your heart beats faster |
| C．you remember something | D．the structure of your brain changes |
| A．all the steps when your brain learns things |
| B．what an unbelievable organ the human brain is |
| C．how the brain makes people smarter than computers |
| D．the things you can do to make your brain work faster |
5 . Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting (限制) the time they can spend online. But some children in the US and UK are saying that they’d like to make rules for parents, too. 3 .
In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share an average (平均)of 116 photos of their kids after they are born. Most were taken before the child turned 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations, like having food all over their faces.
Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kids don’t like it as much. In a survey of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70 percent said they felt their parents didn’t respect their online privacy (隐私).
Besides, many kids said that other students at school sometimes play tricks on them after their parents post photos online. Once, a girl was bullied (欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s Wechat, which had many family photos.
Each time a photo or video is uploaded, it creates a digital footprint of a child, which can follow them into adult life. It’s always important to ask children for their permission (允许) before posting photos or videos of them.

6 . "In this life, what did you miss?" The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently(沮丧地), the husband replied, "I missed a new job chance."
When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.
At 45, the husband sadly said, "I missed the opportunity seeing my close relative before his last breath."
At 55, the husband said disappointingly. "I missed a good chance to retire,"
At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, "I missed visiting my dentist."
At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, "In this life, I did not miss having you!"
The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and other things. So much so he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said, "Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me."

7 . A few days ago, my pet dog died. But before you feel too sorry for me or my dog, you should know that Matty-we named her after the famous baseball player Christy “Matty”. Mathewson-was about 17 years old. She lived a long, happy life before she got so sick that we had to put her to sleep.
I have to say that when we first saw Matty, I did not want a pet. But Matty turned out（结果是） to be a wonderful dog. Matty was a big part of our family life for years.
That’s a good lesson. Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you thought they would. They turn out better. See if this sounds familiar to you. You join a sports team. After some practice or games, you find you don’t like the team as much as you thought you would. Maybe you don’t like the coach or the other kids. Or perhaps you find out you’re not going to be the next LeBron James or Mia Hamm. You want to give up, but your mum and dad say you have to at least finish the season. You don’t want to, but you stay with the team. And, surprise: Things get better. You make a friend or make a few good plays. Maybe the coach tells you you’re going to be a good player.
Most kids and adults （成年人） are pretty sure they know exactly what they want. For example, I was positive years ago that I didn’t want a dog. But life is full of surprises. We change with time. That’s why it’s important for us to try new foods, new hobbies and new sports.

9 . Astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) once made history by taking bites of red romaine lettuce (长叶药昔）. They became the first humans to eat food that was grown entirely in space.
The lettuce was planted on the ISS in a small greenhouse called “Veggie”, which uses LED lights to help plants grow in space.
First, the astronauts cleaned the lettuce with special sanitizing wipes(消毒纸巾） and then ate it with some salad dressing.
“It was one small bite for man, one giant leap (飞跃）for ...our journey to Mars.”one astronaut, Scott Kelly, later posted on social media.
Space vegetables are a part of the NASA experiment called “Veg-01”, a study on how plants grow without the effects of Earth’s gravity（重力）. It will allow astronauts to grow and eat their own food during long space explorations.
“If we’re ever going to go to Mars someday, we're going to need a spacecraft that is much more self-sustainable in its food supply(供应）”, said Kelly.
Growing fresh plants on a spacecraft may also provide oxygen and help keep astronauts alive, NASA said.
Veg-o1 started in May 2014.The first batch(一批）of vegetables took 33 days to grow in space before they were taken back to Earth for a safety check. After making sure they were safe to eat, astronauts planted a second batch on July 8. They let the plant grow for another 33 days and were then able to eat it.
Astronauts usually only get vegetables when a supply ship comes to the ISS. Now with vegetables grown in space, they can eat them whenever they want.
