1 . ①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?
③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking(批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility.
④So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes ever arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

2 . ①Amy and Susan both live an average（平常的）life. They have an average house, an average job and an average family. There is really nothing special about their lives, but there is also nothing really negative（消极的）about their lives.
②However, when they are both happy, it always seems that Amy is happier than Susan. It looks like nothing can trouble Amy. She is the life of the party and always has a big smile on her face.
③ Susan can't stop thinking about this. How is Amy so happy when they both lead such similar lives? They go to the same stores, watch the same movies, even have similar schedules! How can Amy be so carefree when life is so stressful?
④Between one's daily life and personal dreams, there is no way one can be so happy and stress-free all the time. There are always a million things going on.
⑤But when Susan asks Amy about this, Amy says, " I just take life as it comes. It seems pretty easy then. "
⑥__▲ How is it that Amy's life seems so much better most of the time?
⑦The problem with Susan is that she spreads herself too thin. Not physically （身体上），but in her own head. While she tries to do everything at once and think about everything at once, Amy takes everything one step at a time. She is where she is, stays present in the moment and allows herself to focus on（关注）just one thing at a time.

3 . ①Nowadays, lots of young people have problems with their minds. These problems not only hurt the students’ health but also make their parents and teachers very worried. And these problems have caught people's attention.
②Ma Qingyu, a student from Shandong, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it so that he started to lose appetite（胃口）.
③Another student, 16-year-old Zhang Ni from Zhejiang, was afraid of exams. She got very worried in exams. And when she looked at the exam paper, she couldn't think of anything to write.
④These are just two examples. A recent report from China Daily says about 14% of Beijing teenagers have mental problems. Their troubles include（包括）being worried and very unhappy, and having problems in learning and getting on with people. Many students who have problems won't go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don't want to talk about their secrets.

4 . 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. |

5 . ①When I was seven, my parents filled my pocket with coins on a holiday. I went directly to a toy shop. Along the way, I heard a boy whistling（口哨）. I loved the sound and offered all my money for the whistle. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house. I was pleased with my whistle, but all my family felt noisy. When my brothers and sisters heard how much I had paid for the whistle, they told me I had paid four times as much as it should be. This made me think of all the good things I could have bought with the rest of the money. They laughed at me for being silly.
②This experience, however, taught me something. I always remember the whistle when I want to buy some unnecessary thing. I then said to myself, “Don't give too much for the whistle.” That way I have saved lots of money. As I grew up, I met with many people who gave too much for the whistle.
③When I saw people waste their time to become popular among those important people, I said to myself, "This man gives too much for his whistle."
④When I met with a man of pleasure, giving up his health for his pursuit（追求）, I said to myself, you are providing pain for yourself; you give too much for your whistle.
⑤If I see one who likes fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, for which he becomes poor, Alas! I thought he has paid too much for his whistle.
⑥In short, I believe that great part of the unhappiness of people are brought upon them by the wrong understanding of the value of things, and by their giving too much for their whistle.

6 . "I will think of it." It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? Though we can not see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, they have great power!
Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid of the tea kettle as it moved up and down. He began to think. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking, and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses.
James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd boy. Once seeing the inside of his father's watch and he wondered, "Why should I not make a watch? But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring(钟表等的主发条)? He soon found how to get them. He made the mainspring out of a piece whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits(肖像)with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lecture. His motto was," I will think of it. "And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
When you meet with any difficulty, don't lose heart. Try to think of it before asking someone to help you. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think creatively.

7 . The relationship (关系) between teachers and students is an important part of school life. An Indian movie called Hichki tells the story of a teacher who helps some bad students and makes them better people. It is popular with lots of students now.
In Hichki, the main character is Naina Mathur. She has an illness (疾病) that makes her hiccup (打嗝) often. With her hard work, she gets her dream job as a teacher. But she has to teach a class of rebellious students. They laugh at Mathur in her first class.
However, Mathur doesn't get angry (生气) with them. She tries her best to help every student. When they cause a small explosion (爆炸) and the school asks them to leave, Mathur still help them a lot. Little by little, Mathur wins the students' hearts. Under her care, the students start to study harder and become better and better.
From the story, we know that good teacher doesn't simply pass on knowledge (知识), but shows students how to be a good person. It also shows us that anyone can be successful, even if they have some kind of illness.

8 . ①Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
②There were eating places travelers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns（旅店） that would serve food. And there were taverns（酒馆） where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a "restaurant".
③A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore" (恢复) your health—in French the word "restore" is "restaurer"—so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
④Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
⑤Today, cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.

| A．Restaurants only served food. | B．Restaurants were more expensive. |
| C．Restaurants were mainly in cities. | D．Restaurants had a list of meal choices. |

9 . With the development of the technology, 3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and even cars. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily by using 3D printers.
But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying a new way to get the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the oven or blender. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe (食谱) and put the uncooked “food ink” into a printer.You can also change the instructions to make the food you want. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and rich meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, shipping and packaging processes as food products would be a lot quicker and better For example, tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products! Printing food could also help people who have a swallowing (吞咽) trouble. They could program the printer to print softer kinds of foods so that they would not have difficulty swallowing them.
▲ It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, shipping and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for growing or producing and the same tastes could be printed from an uncooked “food ink”. Besides, traditional restaurants might lose business. Also, we have to consider: is it really possible to get everything we need from them?
As we know, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pastime of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a machine.
1. The writer gives the example in paragraph 3 in order to _________.| A．show us how 3D food printing works in our daily life |
| B．tell us how good it is to use 3D printers to print food |

10 . As a girl growing up in Oakland, Harris was attracted to nature in college, she accepted a green lifestyle, avoiding chemicals（化学物质） in her food and beauty products lo make her carbon footprint（碳足迹） less.
Later, teaching in primary schools in poor neighborhoods, she was shocked for her students not having the ideas of protecting the environment. But she also understood. “For many communities of color, these problems often seem less important because they are dealing with daily lives,” she says.
Harris decided to teach children the advantages of sustainable（可持续的） living and in 2007 set up the grassroots group Grind for the Green（G4G）, an organization that educates kids about green subjects as well as providing training in entry-level green jobs. She used hip-hop music to draw more people’s attention. “We created it to make a deeper connection with the kids” she explains.
One early project was a free solar-powered（太阳能的） hip-hop concert- the first of its kind—-in San Francisco. Solar panels（太阳能板） on a mobile bus produced all the electricity, and the kids set up road stands（货摊） offering green food and drinks made in bicycle-powered blenders. The event was successful, leading to other G4G concerts and attracting concert organizers and producers who wanted to work with G4G. “We’ve been able to get close to a special field that other environmental groups couldn’t,” Harris says. “Our events are produced by young people who carry out the tasks faster and better” she adds.
No one can say that poor people or people of color don't care about the earth. From the story of Harris, we’ve seen communities become connected with these green subjects once they’ve been educated and learn a way to do something about it.
