It's common for students to hear the same standard,cliched advice:"dream big","follow yours dreams",and "reach for the stars." But Student of the Year judge Alien Ma has something a bit different to add—"be practical".
The judge knows a thing or two about both big dreams and practical applications,and has seen plenty of students achieve both.
"We are looking to nurture talents,in this case technology talents,says Ma,CEO of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). "When someone has this kind of crazy idea or brilliant idea—sometimes you can’t tell the difference—they need to find somebody to help them realize their dream."
And with all the big and sometimes crazy ideas Ma has heard from students through HKSTP,he says it is important to find a balance between creative ideas and practical applications.And part of this means being able to see the benefit of patience and long-term goals.
Ma says he sees many students try to get good marks through easy classes,rather than challenging themselves with harder courses that will pay off with knowledge that would be useful for their future.
"You should be looking out for your future,"he says.
And for secondary school students,Ma says this means having a broad understanding of the world around them, especially as it relates to Science,Technology,Engineering and Maths (Stem) knowledge.
"I think a lot of students today have this broad,sometimes international understanding,"he says.Ma sees many strong students using their knowledge to help others.And for him,these are the students that really stand out from the crowd,as they're making the connection between their knowledge and how they fit into the world around them."They don’t just study,they’re not just scholars,"he says."They are good scholars,but also good sports players or good musicians,for example,but they also give back to society.That’s what impresses me the most."
1.What do the underlined words mean in Para1?
A. Do not dream big any more.
B. Realizing dreams is equally important.
C. The standard advice is no longer useful.
D. Anyone who dreams big is great.
2.Why does Ma think students need help in realizing their dreams?
A. They are short of patience.
B. They can't balance study and life well.
C. They are far away from being practical.
D. They can’t tell crazy and bright ideas apart.
3.What is Ma' suggestion for students nowadays?
A. Set a goal. B. Fit into society.
C. Begin with easy classes. D. Take the long-term view.
4.What kind of feeling does Ma express in the last paragraph?
A. Politeness. B. Inspiration.
C. Admiration. D. Hopefulness.

The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.
1.The author may agree that it is_________ to build a large man-made lake.
A. possible
B. impossible
C. great
D. interesting
2.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because________.
A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B. there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C. they haven’t finished digging the lake
D. there is no underground water
3.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?
A. Light pollution. B. Water pollution.
C. Air pollution. D. Sound pollution.
4.What do Zhengzhou’s residents think of the man-made lake?
A. Scary. B. Small.
C. Helpful. D. Great.

A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don't start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to make sure bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren't used to the early hour. "Maybe these kids are being asked to get up at the wrong time for their bodies, " says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problems of adolescent sleep at Brown's School of Medicine.
Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And , at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns. Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought. Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it's not just a matter of choice—their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.
All of this makes the change from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning—all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the "sleep late, rise late" pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a. m. for a 7: 30 a. m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their bodies' way of saying, "I need a timeout. "
1.Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because ________.
A. it is really tough for parents to ensure bedtime
B. students are so lazy that they don't like to go to school early
C. students work so late at night that they can't get up early
D. it is biologically difficult for students to rise early
2.The underlined phrase "nod off"(Paragraph l) most probably means "________".
A. turn around B. agree with others
C. fall asleep D. refuse to work
3.What might be a reason for the hard change from middle school to high school?
A. Adolescents depend more on their parents.
B. Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.
C. Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.
D. Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.
B. Problems in adolescent learning.
C. Adolescent sleep difficulties.
D. Adolescent heath care.

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination（高潮）to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 regular season. The next game, Super Bowl LII, scheduled for February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.
The game was created as part of a merger(合并) agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.
The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.
Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.
1.According to the text, in the Super Bowl ________.
A. the New England Patriots have won nine times
B. the Pittsburgh Steelers have won six titles
C. Arabic numerals are used to refer to each game
D. winners of the last season play against each other
2.On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually ________.
A. buy expensive Super Bowl tickets B. consume the most food of the year
C. avoid the Super Bowl commercials D. enjoy performances by famous artists
3.In 2015, the ________ Super Bowl was held.
A. 46th B. 49th C. 51st D. 55th
4.We can know from the text that the Super Bowl ________.
A. is a public holiday in the United States

C. launches a new season of the National Football League every year
