With the development of the Internet, it is easily for people to find information in just few minutes. The Internet is like a huge library that you can find whatever you want without walk around. It make our life convenient and colorful. And recently many people have been discussing the dangers of the Internet. There have been reports in China about people trying it to steal personal information for bad purposes. Also, some information does harm for society. For example, you can even find so information as how to kill people. The problem will become more serious in the future if not dealing with.
2 . Climate breakdown threatens to cause a global food production crisis. The UN forecasts that by 2050, feeding the world will require a 20% expansion in global water use for agriculture. It is hard to see how agriculture can feed the population of the planet, let alone toward the end of the century and beyond. Agriculture is a major cause of climate breakdown, and both river and air pollution. Industrial fishing is similarly driving ecological collapse in seas around the world.
However, at this critical time, farming (a new kind of food technology) is creating astonishing possibilities to save both people and the planet. Farming will enable the return of vast areas of land and sea to nature, greatly reducing carbon emissions (排放物). It means an end to the employment of animals, a stop to overfishing, and a dramatic reduction in cutting down forests and the use of pesticides (杀虫剂). It is the best hope for stopping the destruction of the planet and, if it is done right, it means cheap and abundant food for everyone.
We are about to welcome one of the biggest economic transformations, of any kind, for 200 years. Arguments continue about plants against meat-based diets; however, new technologies will soon make these arguments irrelevant. Before long, most food will come neither from animals nor plants, but from micro-organisms (微生物).
Not only will food be cheaper, it will also be healthier. Due to the fact that farming creates food products built up from simple components rather than broken down from complex ones, hard fats and other unhealthy components can be screened out. Meat will still be meat, but it will be grown in factories rather than in the bodies of animals. Fats will still be fats, but food is likely to be better, cheaper and much less damaging to the living planet.

3 . The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers(同龄人).
“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment,” said an expert. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
1. Which of the following is NOT a “lying down” lifestyle according to the passage?| A．Being uninterested in material enjoyment and refusing to shoulder duties. |

| C．They find their dreams far beyond their reach. | D．They never really drop their responsibilities. |
4 . Singapore uses about two billion liters of water every day-a number it expects could double in the next four decades.
That kind of consumption is adding pressure to the Asian city state to address growing concerns about global water shortage. So it's building new technology to prepare itself for a future where obtaining clean water will be even more difficult. "Singapore truly has become a global water center,"said Shane Snyder,executive director of the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. “But as it stands, it imports approximately 40% of its water today. And with climate change,that water has become far less dependable.”
Singapore, meanwhile, is home to more than five million people and is covered in fountains,reservoirs and other water features-including the world's tallest indoor waterfall, The Rain Vortex that pumps about 45,000 liters of water per minute. But it has no natural water sources of its own,instead relying heavily on recycled water and imports from its neighbors.
Snyder's research facility is one of several places developing solutions for Singapore's water dependency. The hope is to create projects that could be used across the city. "What we have become used to as reliable water may quickly change-so we have to be prepared,and we have to be thinking about the basic facilities in advance. " Snyder said. " There's a big drive to become water independent-to control our own future -and that is largely dependent on the technologies we're developing. "
Another company,Wateroam, is already taking innovation from Singapore to the rest of the region. Founded in 2014,Wateroam says it has developed a lightweight,portable filtration（过滤）device that has already provided clean drinking water to more than 75,000 people across Southeast Asia. Wateroam CEO David Pong said one of the most innovative aspects of the product is its simplicity. The water filtration device is no bigger than a bicycle pump,yet it can provide clean water to villages of 100 people for up to two years.
"We've been very blessed to have access to clean drinking water," Pong said. It's necessary to bring the privilege to the rest of the region, and advocate that clean water is an essential aspect for life on Earth,according to him.

Of all my teachers, Mr. Jenkins is the one which impresses me most. Though he is 34, yet he looks very young for his age. And he's one of the most popular teacher in our school.
Comparing with other teachers, Mr Jenkins pays more attention to his ways of teaching. He tries various of ways to make his classes lively and interestingly. In his opinion, we should not only know "what", and also understand "why". So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he inspired us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions. With her help, we've learned how to analyze and settle problems. Even the students who previously lacked confidence now take active part in his class. We all appreciate that he has done for us.

9 . This week the bosses of seven large drug (药) firms (companies) were gathered together before the U.S. Congress to answer pointed questions about the cost of their medicines. The meetings come amid rising anger about unreasonable prices of their drugs. New laws are threatened. Concerns about the affordability of medicines are not only happening in America, they are also global.
Too rarely (not very often) raised in this discussion is one promising area where pill makers and governments alike could do more to fight diseases while also saving money. Drugs can be “repurposed”. That is, existing drugs can sometimes be used to treat diseases other than the ones for which they were first designed. This can be a cheaper way to develop new treatments. It could also help answer another criticism often thrown at drug firms: they do not invest enough in areas where the medical need is great but financial (economic) returns are unattractive. For 7,000 rare genetic conditions, only around 400 drugs have come out. Last year saw a record number of new drugs approved. The 59 new arrivals are welcome, but barely scratch the surface unmet needs.
Given the untapped potential in the 9,000 generic drugs, i.e. those which no longer have patent (专利) protection, found in America alone, this could be just the beginning. One charity says it has found evidence of anti-cancer activity in almost 260 drugs that treat other conditions. An expert supposes that one in five existing cancer drugs might be effective against other cancers. Big data makes it easier to identify promising leads.
For all its promise, however, repurposing is underfunded. Once a drug has lost its patent protection, it is difficult for a drug firm to attract the investment needed to test and relabel it for a new purpose. A doctor can prescribe a pill for “off label” uses without such trials. But patients may not trust a drug that is not approved for their condition; doctors may worry about being charged. Currently, only firms with permission to market a generic (无商标的) drug can get it relabelled. This means that repurposing charities are not able to work with regulators to speed up the arrival of new cures. They should be. They also deserve more of the public funding used to develop drugs.
