2 . Science fiction is a popular kind of writing. Many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer.

    1     At first, he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories, such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).

In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions.     2     As a result, they were very popular. Verne’s writing included many predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true.     3     These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.

    4     20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings.     5     The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time!

A．Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne’s books.

B．But from his early twenties Verne decided to become a writer.

C．Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories.

D．Jules Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies.

E．Jules Verne has been one of the most famous writers in the world.

F．He described space flights, movies, and air conditioners, a long time before they appeared.

3 . Whenever the exam season comes, stress may come along.     1    

When the stress of exams is really hitting me, I stop and take a walk.     2     Many boys would simply choose to run for a while, or play ball games. Having some sports drives away your stress easily most of the time.

And if you find music helpful, give it a go.     3     The best thing about this is that you don’t have to go anywhere.

But if you are a book lover just like me, read a book you like for half an hour.     4     Putting yourself into a new world helps you forget your stress in this world for a little bit.

    5     Laughing is the best medicine. It can really keep worry off your mind! Very often I call my best friend and we talk about our good times or something funny, and I’m feeling better before I know it.

Remember many others also face the problem of stress just like you, and it is not something that cannot be dealt with.

A．How to deal with the exam?

B．Here are some ways that have helped me and my friends through this season.

C．For sure, there’s nothing better than laughing.

D．I usually borrow my neighbor’s dog and walk for about fifteen minutes.

E．Reading can take you to places you’ve never been.

F．Listening to your favorite songs will surely make you happy.

4 . For convenience, plenty of people prefer having a takeaway to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover (剩余的) food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak mealtimes (高峰用餐时间).

“Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world,” one creator of the app said. “The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year.” By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn’t the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange left over food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell “ugly vegetables” that most customers don’t buy to charities and food banks that need them.
