1 . MicroSD cards are common in smartphones, tablets, and action cameras. Finding the right microSD card doesn’t have to be difficult — we can help you find the best microSD cards for your needs.

Samsung EVO Select MicroSD Memory Card

This microSD card can handle the needs of nearly any device and any type of user, and it offers the fastest speeds and highest storage of the cards we considered while keeping a low price tag. The write speed isn’t provided for this microSD card, which isn’t uncommon — manufacturers often focus on read speed instead because it’s where you’ll notice a la g if there is any.

SanDisk 256GB Extreme Memory Card

Bob Sacha, a photographer and associate professor of video storytelling, recommends getting a card like this one. “This card may have a lower read speed and write speed, but it works in all the cameras I use,” he says. This microSD card is also shockproof, waterproof, and able to withstand high temperatures, which makes it suitable for action cameras.

SanDisk Ultra 512GB Memory Card

If you’re into portable gaming, and are planning on keeping more than a game or two on hand at any given time, you’ll need enough storage to back that up. The SanDisk Ultra 512GB is just a version of our pick for Switch gaming with more storage, since the read and write speeds are perfectly fine for gaming. It also has plenty of storage to work with a 4kdrone (无人机) or a home security camera.

PNY U3 Pro Elite 512GB MicroSD Card

Where write speed really comes into play is when you’re recording video. That’s also when you’ll want to pay attention to the video class, which measures the minimum levels of write speed for recording video. Ultra-high-speed class is a number inside a U on the front of the card. A U1 card should be able to handle 1080p recording without any issues, but if you want to record 4K, get a U3 card like the PNY Pro Elite.

It’s reported that about 10% of the global population do not have clean water. The water crisis has serious effects on people’s health, education, and     1     (finance) situation and on the stability of their community.

Water     2     (use) to keep clean and keeping clean is the key to good health. For example, a simple cut to a child’s leg can be treated by washing it, to avoid infections.     3     clean water, that simple cut can become a serious medical condition.

Children who spend a lot of time collecting water are less likely     4     (attend) full time education. Chances are that those students aren’t able to study to the level     5     (require) to go to college or university. The problem is     6     (particular) bad for girls, who tend to be the family’s members     7     (walk) a long way to collect water.

Low standards of education make     8     much more difficult for people to get jobs that are both well-paid and safe. If there is no money from     9     (employ), it’s difficult for communities to develop their water supply and sanitation (卫生).

Water is often a source of argument and even wars. The stability of a whole region or even a country can be in danger because of a shortage of clean water. To decrease the influence of the water crisis, the United Nations has a Sustainable Development Goal     10     specifically refers to water and sanitation.

5 . Words are powerful: they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the low or tear down the highest of the high. But a strong argument could be made that our body language is even more influential. The most effective communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching is acknowledged. When these nonverbal signals are working together with our words, it creates communication synergy.

It has been suggested that two-thirds of our communication is nonverbal. Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to motivate, inspire and engage. It can not only give you the confidence you need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know what you’re talking about. It can even make your students feel safe and confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.

Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power and confidence. Signals include standing tall, gesturing only from the waist up, head straight and forward, and talking while pointing to others, which are obvious ways to exercise control. But when teaching, the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of leader. These signals convey warmth and understanding, reminding your students that you are approachable and there to help them grow. For example, fix your eyes on one student for about 15-30 seconds before changing to another student, which is one of the best ways to keep students’ focus. Nod your head. Give a thumbs up—maybe two! Show them they are on the right path and they will be more confident in continuing down it.

The importance of body language can never be ignored. It’s desirable that you should advocate using body language in teaching and pay attention to the use rule and using skills. You should use right, natural and clear body language. It’s crucial that you create good classroom atmosphere, inspire students’ imagination and grasp students’ mood.

6 . There’ve been plenty of Tokyo 2020 headlines about Hend Zaza, the Syrian table tennis genius who, at 12 years old, is one of the youngest Olympians of all time.

But there are some striking personal stories on the other side of the age spectrum (年龄谱), too.

Oksana Chusovitina, a 46-year-old gymnast from Uzbekistan, impressively competed in her eighth Olympic Games this summer. Chusovitina, who competed in a sport dominated by teenage athletes, received a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) after performing in what she said would be her last Olympics. “I feel very good to be here. But this will for sure be my last Olympics, she told reporters. “I’m 46 years old. Nothing is going to change that. I’m alive, I’m happy, I’m here without any injuries, and I can stand on my own,” she added with a laugh.

Then there’s Australian equestrian (马术师) Mary Hanna, who at age 66 is the second-oldest female athlete in Olympic history and the oldest Olympian competing in Tokyo.

“Through their efforts, Hanna and Chusovitina are changing the conversation around age and agility. They’re proof that you can compete or put yourself up to a physical challenge way past what is considered your peak,” said Michael Stones, a professor at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, who researches healthy aging and physical performance. “It’s great that this year’s Olympics include so many younger and older athletes,” he told HuffPost. “They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的) barrier to excellence in physical activities.”

These Olympians also lend the games some experience and maturity, especially in team sports, said Sandra Hunter, a professor of exercise science at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “These older athletes can help guide the younger ones, particularly with all the mental and psychological challenges that we’ve seen,” she said. “They bring a level of maturity to the teams and surrounding athletes that allows the younger athletes to learn.”

“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” The quote from American writer Robert Fritz is highly consistent with the Olympic spirit as well as enlightening us on our way to success.

1. Who is Oksana Chusovitina?

A．A 12-year-old table tennis player.

B．A 46-year-old gymnast from Syria.

C．A 66-year-old Australian equestrian.

3. What’s professor Michael Stones’s attitude to those younger and older Olympians?

C．Supportive.	D．Indifferent.

4. What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Olympic athletes should try their best to be uninjured.

It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.

Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me? I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.

So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.

Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.

Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.

As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.

Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.

Do you do flexibility training as part of your daily workout? Do you do any stretching exercises on a regular basis? If you are trying to lose weight, you should. Flexibility exercises are not big calorie burners, but they play an important role in a weight loss program.

The best thing about flexibility training is that you don't have to do it very often to enjoy the benefits. Just a few minutes of stretching each day will help to improve the range of motion in your joints, decrease the risk of injury during exercise and reduce stress.

So what flexibility exercises should you do? You can do simple stretches when you get out of bed each morning. This will help to loosen up your joints and start your day with healthy movement. There are also some great stretches that you can do at your desk while you are at work. You can also take a yoga class to lose weight or learn the practice of t'ai chi to improve your health.

Even though you won't burn many calories during a short stretching session, your body functions better when your joints move more comfortably. This can boost your weight loss program in several different ways.

Flexibility exercises help to get your blood pumping, but not in a way that increases your adrenalin（肾上腺素）. Stretching and breathing exercises help to improve your mood and lower your stress level. This may be especially helpful for dieters who are trying to curb emotional eating. If you can replace the trip to the refrigerator with 5 minutes of healthy stretching, you're likely to eat less and slim down faster.

Aerobic（有氧的）activity and strength training for weight loss are more effective when you perform each exercise fully. Stretching helps keep your body in top shape so that you burn more calories during your workouts and you spend less time recovering from injuries or soreness.

Flexibility training alone won't burn enough calories to make a big difference in your daily energy balance. But when you pair stretching exercises with a complete workout program, you'll benefit from a healthier body and improve your chances of weight loss.

Jane, a lovely girl, had a very sweet family. Although the second oldest, Jane had the least self - control, and had hard times trying to control her bad temper, which was continually getting her into trouble. Poor Jane tried desperately to be better, but her inner enemy was always ready to flame up and defeat her, and her mother was always the first to come to her rescue.

Jane had just finished the draft of her first book, which was regarded as a pride of the whole family, expecting it was good enough to print. To celebrate this big event, Jane and the other two sisters planned to go to the theatre to see The Seven Castles. They didn't want to take Amy, the youngest, with them. Seeing that they were leaving, Amy begged them not to leave her alone and even offered to buy her own ticket herself, but in vain. “You can't sit with us, for our seats are reserved, and you mustn't sit alone, and that will spoil our pleasure,” scolded Jane, crosser than ever. Sitting on the floor, Amy began to cry.

The girls hurried down, leaving their sister crying. Amy forgot her grown - up ways, and acted like a spoilt child. She called over the banisters (扶手), in a threatening tone, “You'll be sorry for this, Jane March; see if you aren't.” “You dare!?” said Jane, slamming the door.

They had a happy time, for The Seven Castles was as brilliant and wonderful as heart could wish. But, in spite of the gorgeous princes and princesses, Jane's pleasure had a drop of bitterness in it. The fairy queen's yellow hair reminded her of Amy with wondering what her sister would do to make her “Sorry for it.”

When they got home, Jane found Amy reading in the sitting room. Jane assumed an injured air as they came in but everything was in its place. Jane decided that Amy had forgiven and forgotten her wrongs.

Jane was mistaken, for the next day she found her book missing.
