“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.
“How old are you?” asked the teacher.
“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.
“Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.
There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age.When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.
Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life.The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others.Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others.If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.
It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit.We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character.Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river.The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.

The Man Who Never Put a Foot Wrong
Some people do not like anything to be out of place: they are never late for work, they return their books to the library on time, they remember people’s birthdays, and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.
Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark’s birthdays.
Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast. He parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
“What have I done wrong?” Mr. Dodds asked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshiping South Korean actors Kin Soo hyun and Lee Min ho as demigods(偶像).Chinese netizens(网民) always have different opinions.Over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China, And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs (继承者们) have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero You Who Came From The Star was a hard to get item on Amazon for a while.

Many netizens even said at an earlier time that South Korean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的) themes: traffic accidents, cancer and other incurable diseases.But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs, which Chinese directors can use as examples, as well as inspiration, to improve their productions.
1. What is the main reason for a new round of popularity in China?

Everyone has done experiments in high school laboratories,but have you ever thought about designing a satellite to explore space?
On Nov.19,a team of students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in the US awed peers and even scientists by successfully launching a satellite.
The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record setting.28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in Virginia,CNN reported.It took the students seven years to build.
The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Sat,which is named after their school.It is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 0.89 kilograms,according to Orbital Sciences,a company which developed the rocket and supported the students’ project.It can be controlled with a smartphone.
Like most satellites,TJ3Sat can send and receive data.The small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (合成器),which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio waves,said Orbital officials.In this case,anyone can give it a try via the project’s website (school website) by submitting (提交) a text.The texts that get approved will be sent to the satellite,changed to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves.
“I can say ‘Go Colonials’on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the world,in India,someone can hear‘Go Colonials’over the radio,”the team explains on the website.
The satellite will stay in space for at least three months.
School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare time.Later it became a research project for a select group of seniors.
At a time when American students are busy with SATs,the launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiosities,Glazer said.
“It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,” Andrew Petro,program executive (主管) for small spacecraft technology at NASA,said in a statement.“I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraft.The idea here is that they really can do that.”
1.The underlined word “awed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A.influenced
B.amazed
C.delighted
D.inspired
2.Which of the following statements about TJ3Sat is TRUE according to the article?
A.It took a group of students about a decade to build the satellite.
B.Besides TJ3Sat,28 other small satellites were built by the students.
C.TJ3Sat can receive text messages that the students send into space,which can be changed to voice messages and broadcast back to Earth.
D.TJ3Sat is expected to stay in orbit for the next year,sending out messages together with information about its position in space.
3.According to the article,the launch of the satellite _______.
A.is evidence of the advance of spacecraft technology
B.proves that hard working teenagers can achieve a lot
C.shows the importance of extracurricular activities at school
D.has inspired many people to take an interest in space travel

Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes.Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.
The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans.The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.
Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish.As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素).The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.
It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production.This results in less pigmented skin.
However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.
Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays(紫外线) of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.
But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D.So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.
Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.
The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer.It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People can’t change their skin colour without any pain.
B. The new discovery helped find ways to change skin colour safely.
C. Pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked.
D. Scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene.
2.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. nowadays changing the skin colour with the chemical treatment has bad effect
B. Europeans and Africans have the same genes
C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer
D. there are two kinds of skin genes
3.Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.
A. find the different genes of humans
B. prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment gene
C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark
D. find out the ways of changing people’s skin colour
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Michael Jackson died of skin damage caused by chemical treatment.
B. American blacks produce more vitamin D with their skin than others.
C. The gene determining skin colour exists widely in whites, blacks and Asians.
D. The melanosomes in the skin of blacks usually cause skin cancer more often.
