There are plenty of things you can feel positive knowing about Garfield—the cat who loves lasagna, hates Mondays and adores a teddy bear named Pooky. But last week, without warning, there rose a strange and sudden debate around a question about the famous cat that even creator Jim Davis needed to weigh in on: Is Garfield a boy, a girl, or no gender(性别)at all?
The argument appears to have begun when writer Virgil Texas came across a 2014 Mental Floss interview with Davis where he described his tabby creation Garfield as “not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old.”
In response to the quote(引用),Virgil wrote on Twitter: “FACT:Garfield has no gender. This. Is. Definite.” So sure was he of Garfield‘s true gender status that Virgil even took it upon himself to update the Garfield character Wikipedia page with the information。
But it was quickly clear that not everyone agreed with Virgil‘s edits, and thus began a war over the Wikipedia entry edits. Some mentioned that Garfield is male. Others wrote that it shouldn’t matter at all whether Garfield is male or female. Washington Post reported that the battle took place over 60 hours and eventually ended when Wikipedia shut things down by locking the page.
It was a statement that soon appeared to have been made in hurry as Jim Davis indeed soon joined the debate, shutting everything down in one line to Washington Post: “Garfield is male.” The 71-year-old cartoonist also pointed out that Garfield has a girlfriend, Arlene, and claimed that his 2014 quotes had been “taken out of context”. “I’ve always said that I wanted to work with animals because they’re not regarded as being any particular gender, race, age or ethnicity,” he said. “In that sense, the humor could be enjoyed by a broader group.”
1.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. An argument about the gender of Garfield.
B. The interview between Jim Davis and Virgil Texas.
C. An update of Wikipedia entry edits about Garfield.
D. The popularity of the famous cartoon character Garfield.
2.What does the underlined phrase “weigh in on” probably mean?
A. Agree with. B. Join in.
C. Put forward. D. Care about.
3.The debate online upon the gender of Garfield was ended up by ______.
A. writer Virgil Texas B. Wikipedia
C. Washington Post D. creator Jim Davis
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Jim Davis’ 2014 quotes had been cut out.
B. Garfield becomes more famous than before.
C. Washington Post shut everything down in one line about Garfield.
D. The creation of Garfield is aimed at entertainment rather than anything else.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.
Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
1.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?
A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.
B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.
C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.
D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.
2.Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederio joliot?
A. At the Curie Institute. B. At the Cniversity of Paris.
C. At a military hospital. D. At the College of Sevigne.

A. In 1897. B. In 1927.
C. In 1932 D. In 1926.
4.In which of the following aspects was Irene Cuire different from her mother?

Japan is a mysterious land of technological wonders, but the latest is a relatively simple solution to an age-old problem faced by beginners and professional chefs alike.
Grocery stores across the country are about to start stocking onions that won’t make people cry. The new tear-free onion is called the Smile Ball, which is a pretty adorable name for a vegetable, and it’s an onion carefully engineered to not irritate (刺激) the eyes of people who cut into it.
Regular onions release a gas when their cells are damaged and that gas irritates people’s eyes and make them tear up. The Smile Ball onions release no such a gas, so they can be chopped easily. They are also sweet like fruit when eaten raw.
The scientific advancement of the tearless onion is not free, however. Smile Balls, developed by the Japanese producer House Foods, will cost about $4.30 for a pack of just two when they go on sale in supermarkets across Japan. That’s about double the cost of a normal onion, but it might be worth the extra money for those who are particularly sensitive to traditional onion gas. Earlier test sales of the tear-free onions were held in Tokyo, with the onions selling out quickly.
1.What do the people say about tear-free onions?
A. They’re too expensive to afford.
B. They’re sweeter than candies.
C. They're especially suitable for kids.
D. They’re worth buying, though expensive.
2.What can we learn about the Smile Ball?
A. It never gives off a strong gas.
B. It has a pretty look.
C. It belongs to a new kind of fruit.
D. It rarely goes bad.
3.What’s mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. How to produce tear-free onions.
B. Tearless onions are more popular.
C. The development of House Foods.
D. People are sensitive to tearless onions.
4.What can be the suitable title of the text?
A. Say Goodbye to Regular Onions
B. Tear-free Onions vs Regular Onions
C. Onions That Don’t Make You Cry
D. The Future of Tear-free Onions

Retired nurse Sue Collins was just beginning the second length of her local pool when her morning swim suddenly became anything but a pleasure.
Two months ago Sue, 69, who has never suffered from asthma or any other breathing problem in the past, suddenly found herself hard for breath.
“I felt as if my throat and oesophagus (食道) were closing up,” says Sue.
Sue is convinced the problem is related to the indoor swimming baths. “I spend half the year in Turkey and swim every day outside in a pool or the sea there and never have this problem,” she says.
She may be right, because although a trip to the pool is the perfect exercise for many, the chlorine (氯气) used to keep the water free from germs can lead to problems.
But in most cases it’s not the chlorine that causes problems, but the by-products formed when chlorine interacts with other substances — and this is mostly due to people not showering before they enter the pool.
“This then poisons the water for them and for others,” says Dr. Hull. “The chlorine interacts with sweat and urine(尿素) on the skin and forms by-products called chloramines that float above the surface as a gaseous solution that can be inhaled in.”
Chloramines are heavier than air so hang over the water where they are easily breathed in. Some believe they may cause lung disorders. A Swedish study in 2013 examining the health of 146 workers at 46 indoor pools found that 17 per cent had airway trouble at work — but no problems at home.
As Dr. Hull says: ‘People need to remember that showering isn’t just for them. It is for the greater good.’
1.Where did Sue suddenly suffer from asthma?
A. In an outdoor swimming pool. B. In the sea.
C. In an indoor swimming pool. D. At home.
2.Why should we put chlorine into the water of the pool?
A. To keep the water warm. B. To kill the germs in the water.
C. To make the people easy to breathe. D. To stop the possibility of asthma.
3.Taking a shower before swimming in the pool is to ________.
A. stop the interaction between the chlorine and sweat and urine on the skin
B. make the swimmer feel comfortable
C. obey the rule of the pool
D. stop people from breathing in the chlorine
4.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To show how to avoid asthma.
B. To explain chloramines’s usage.
C. To help people cure asthma.
D. To tell people why to take a shower before swimming in a pool.
