1 . World Students’ Day

World Students’ Day is observed on November 17 every year.     1     . Though it was originally a day of commemoration of the more than 1,200 students from the University of Prague whose lives were taken in WWII, World Students’ Day has become an occasion for universities across the world to boast (以……为自豪) their masses of international students, and the good they do for the local community.

There are a number of ways to celebrate World Students’ Day.     2    , you can spend some time with other students and lift one another up. Make sure you let them know that you have noticed how much work they have put in! It is always good to be there to support one another.

    3    ,it would be lovely to make an effort to make them feel at home. You could put a basket together with traditional gifts and treats from their home country inside. You could get in touch with their home friends and family members. Of course, making this contact depends on how well you know the person. If you don’t know them very well, they may feel like you are interfering with (打扰) their personal life.     4    .

You could also decide to fund raise or raise awareness for charities for students who have learning difficulties.     5    . Yet, for a lot of people, it is not that easy! Some people find it more challenging than others for a lot of different reasons. If everyone simply posts one message or does one thing to raise awareness, students around the world will feel appreciated and we will be able to do more for those who need it most.

2 . The Mysteries of The Maya

Extending south from parts known as Mexico into Central America,     1    .The Maya built impressive palaces and temples and step pyramids. How were they built without the use of wheels, metal tools or even animal power?     2     They applied this understanding to the Maya calendar, which was accurate to within 30 seconds per year.

The fact that Maya society was technologically primitive makes its achievements all the more incredible and mysterious.     3     By 700 AD, Maya civilization was at its peak. Yet, within just a couple of generations, it began to mysteriously decline. The cities were left to be taken back by the jungle.

Why Maya civilization collapsed remains a mystery. A deadly disease? Conflicts between cities?     4     They had turned wetlands into fields for growing grains, and had dug huge canal systems. As their population expanded, yet more land was needed for agriculture and more trees for construction. By changing the landscape in this way, the Maya people unknowingly reduced their ability to deal with natural disasters.

    5     Some recent studies have found that there were far fewer tropical cyclones (热带气旋) than usual between 700 AD and 1000 AD, which is likely to have led to a series of droughts. These droughts would have led to food shortages, conflicts and ultimately, the downfall of the cities.

Whatever the reasons, Maya civilization largely disappeared within the deep jungle. Its once-great cities fell into ruin, leaving various mysteries for later people to solve.

A．The Maya civilization leaves us thinking about the past, present and future.

B．But the greatest mystery is what caused the Maya to abandon most of their great cities.

C．The complicated writing system of the Maya hasn’t been interpreted completely by now.

D．Research also suggests those natural disasters may have led to the decline of the Maya.

E．Maya Civilization has been surrounded by mystery since its rediscovery.

F．Some research indicates that the Maya people themselves may have played a part in their downfall.

G．The Maya's understanding of mathematics and astronomy was also quite amazing.
