1 . Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise（锻炼）. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
“Meat is a good meal before games because it has much energy（能量）.” You can have some food like potatoes, bread, bananas and so on. But meat is not a good meal before games, Because the best food before games should have carbohydrates（碳水化合物）.
“The best time to exercise is early in the morning.” Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be good for you. You can also exercise in the afternoon or evening. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.
“You can't drink water when you exercise, because it makes you feel tired.” When you exercise, you must have some water during breaks（休息时间）. And after exercising, you must have much water. If you don't drink enough water, then you may feel tired.
“______________________” No. You need to give your body a day to have a break. Too much exercise is bad for our health. And remember, don't exercise when you are very tired.

4 . A snow maze(迷宫) in Western Canada has broken the record for the world's biggest. According to Guinness World Records, the huge 2,789.11 square meters of maze beats the previous Canadian record holder at the Fort William Historical Park in Thunder Bay.
For years, farmers Clint and Angie Masse would be busy building a corn maze on their farm just outside of the small town of St Adolphe. Knowing there would be a long, cold winter in Canada, they decided to make a big snow maze instead.
But it was not an easy thing. Clint Masse told AFP. He said building the maze required weeks of planning, tens of thousands of dollars and 370 trucks of snow. "Making snow is really expensive," he said, pointing to the cost of renting generators, tractors and other equipment, fuel and weeks of labor(劳动).
There were design challenges too. "You're not designing a path, what you are doing is designing walls and every wall has a double duty: it's got a path on this side and a path on that side," Masse said. The couple used computer-aided design software.
Although temperatures dropped to a low of-40 degrees Celsius in January, people kept coming in droves. Inside the maze, visitors walk between walls of snow that are 1.8 meters high. "It was fun," one of the visitors Crooks said. "We just kept turning every possible way. It took us a while. We didn't time it, we should have. Maybe half an hour? Yep!" If cold temperatures hold, the maze could stay open for a few more weeks, by which time Clint Masse said he hopes to have had more than 10,000 visitors.
1. We can infer from the passage that ______.| A．Clint and Angie changed their ideas about what to make because of the weather |
| B．It was not easy to build the snow maze |
| C．Few visitors came when the temperatures drop to a low of -40℃ |

5 . When you’re not at home, many worries may start to fill your mind. Did I turn off TV? Did I close the door? With a smart（智能的）home, you can keep all of these worries off.
A smart home is a home with a network（网络）. This network connects many things in our houses, such as our lights and TV sets, and allows you to control everything in your home from far away through your mobile phone over the Internet.
More and more people may start to get a smart home, because it makes life much easier. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can help you know what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on holiday abroad, you can use a smart home controller（控制器）to turn on or off the lights, the fridge and so on. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix and people can set up the smart homes by using only the guiding information. When something wrong appears, you can only use the guiding information to deal with it yourself without paying anybody.
But for home-users, the smart home is far from perfect. It can be quite expensive to get. Also, because the smart home system（系统）allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it is easy for bad people to secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure—the smart home will change the way we live and work.

7 . ①Everyone fails from time to time. We try to learn from our mistakes and move on, leaving them behind. But one museum is doing quite the opposite. It's a show for failures, both famous and forgotten. Inspired by the Museum of Broken Relationships(失恋博物馆)in Croatia. Samuel West, a psychologist(心理学家)from Sweden, decided to make our silly mistakes public. He set up the Museum of Failure in 2017. Now the museum is having a show in Shanghai from January 8 to March 17. The museum will display over 100 "failed" products from big-name companies such as Nike, Apple and Coca-Cola.
②The famous German-American physicist Albert Einstein once said, "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
③This idea has even been accepted by big companies in the US. Silicon Valley(硅谷)is the home of some of the world's most successful technology companies. A slogan(口号)of one company in Silicon Valley is "Fail fast, fail often." "The best companies are those that encourage failure, accept creative thinking and allow employees to make mistakes and see what happens," wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes. But some people doubt this so-called "culture of fail-ure". "Sometimes people will hide behind failure instead of trying their best to avoid it," wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph.
④So it's important that you divide failure into two kinds—the kind that shows laziness, and the kind that takes you forward. The key is whether you've learnt something from your mistakes.
1. Why did Samuel West decide to make our silly mistakes public?| A．Because he set up the Museum of Failure. |

8 . ①As Daddy's only daughter, I know what made my Daddy more wonderful than all the other fathers. I'd ever seen or heard of—his large hands.
②Daddy had long smart fingers that could make lots of paper toys for me to play with. His hands could paint a second-hand bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday. His hands could cook a delicious and colorful meal in minutes. I was always interested in watching his hands work. Even as I grew hungrier, I felt happy watching his hands.
③Daddy's creative (有创造力的) hands were also useful and hardworking. They could fly a kite high in the sky as well as to get it down from the top of a tree. They could wash my white dress clean, which became my favorite one. To my surprise, those hands raised (抚养) seven children alone. It was his attitude that showed what he truly was, far more than his abilities.
④Daddy's hands were not only capable (能干的), but also could send a message full of love. When I was sick, he made me feel better. He would take a small blanket, warm it up and cover it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. They seemed to understand my pain before I could cry. When I was stressed out, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and sat next to me. He would say, "The best is always to come, my dear."
⑤The more I read Daddy's hands, the more stories I sense from them. Daddy's hands were perfect. They had the knowledge and power to move mountains. They made the impossible possible.

9 . The British development group Practical Action says the best way to prepare foods for storage(储存) is at harvest(收获) time while still in the field.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fruits and vegetables off and put them on a clean place. Do not put them on the ground. Use water to clean off dirt. Usually it is better not to pick off the leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage. Without the leaves, food can become dry.
Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are put into storage. But cooling them in water can spread fungus(菌类) in the food. A better idea is to harvest foods either early or late in the day, then leave them to cool naturally. Some fruits and vegetables must be kept at 0℃ to 4℃. Any colder, and they might go bad. Some foods need to be kept at 4℃ to 8℃ and some need to be kept above 8 ℃ for best results.
Wet the fruits and vegetables so they do not become too dry. The best time to do this is before storage. Cover the foods in plastic(塑料) once they reach the right “critical temperature(温度)” for storage. Most fruits and vegetables need the relative humidity(湿度) in storage to be kept between 85 and 95 percent.
Finally, leave space between the foods and the walls of the cold storage area so air can go around. Keep the space clean. And try not to open the doors too often.
1. Where can you put the foods after harvest?| A．In the water. | B．On the ground. |
| C．In the sand. | D．On a clean place. |
| A．8:00 am. | B．12:00 at the noon. |
| C．4:00 pm. | D．6:00 pm. |
| A．Fruits and vegetables must be kept below 0. |
| B．We should pick off the leaves for best storage. |
| C．The food need 75% humidity for best storage. |
| D．Wet the fruits and vegetables before the storage. |
| A．容量 | B．信息 | C．空间 | D．速度 |
1. leave the foods to cool naturally
2. wet the foods
3. use a sharp knife to cut the foods off

10 . One day, our teacher said that he had an exercise for us to try. We were to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, depending on another student to catch us. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We couldn't fall back for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves. Finally, Judy gave it a try. She is a thin, quiet dark-haired girl who always wears big white sweaters. Judy crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, leaned back, and did not stop. She looked like one of the TV ads where the model jumps into the pool.
For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall onto the floor. At the last moment, her partner grabbed(抓住) her head and shoulders and pulled her up immediately.
"Whoa!" several students yelled. Some clapped their hands. Our teacher finally smiled. "You see," he said to the girl. "You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other person trust(信任)you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
