With all of the wonderful things life brings us, it also brings us stress. It is for this reason that I am an active supporter of mental health days.
Although it’s never good to ignore(忽视) responsibilities, sometimes it is good to unplug(拔除) from the world for a day. We eat healthy and stay active to keep us from getting sick, but sometimes we forget to care for our minds. Our minds and bodies are connected, and when only one is being cared for, the other may be suffering. It is important to try to combine self care with our lives and spend time on activities we enjoy. This helps relieve stress on a daily day.
So, what do you do on a mental health day? The answer is anything you want. Growing up, my brother and I were allowed a few mental health days a year. We would stay home from school and relax. For him, it was playing games on the computer, while my days were spent reading or watching TV. My mental health days now include picking things up around my apartment, cooking a tasty meal, and then reading for a few hours. I completely shut myself off from work or school. To me, this is relaxing. Organize the clutter(凌乱的东西) that piles up during the week, cook the meals I don’t have time to cook, and read the books that I’ve bought but don’t have time to read.
A mental health day is great, but only if it’s supplemented(增补) with self care through the week. From my experience, if self care is not regularly provided in your week, taking a mental health day is just going to stress you out even more. But when it’s needed, try hard to recognize that and take care of yourself. It will help keep you happy and healthy. A mental health day is not a day to avoid life, it is a day to recoup(恢复).
1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?
A. People tend to ignore their mental health.
B. People should care for each other.
C. One should have a strong sense of responsibility.
D. Mental health is less important than physical health.
2.According to the author, on a mental health day people should _______.
A. stay at home alone. B. enjoy outdoor activities
C. do something meaningful. D. do whatever they want.
3.What did the author’s brother do on mental health days as a kid?
A. He cooked for his family. B. He played computer games.
C. He watched TV programs D. He read the books he bought.
4.According to the last paragraph, to keep mentally healthy, _______.
A. one needs help and care from other.
B. leading a regular life is unnecessary.
C. mental health days are not enough.
D. one should try to be physically friendly.

In 1905, as part of his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein published the point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by equation E = me 2(energy = mass times the speed of light squared). But bombs were not what Einstein had in mind when he published this equation.
In 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would “refused to do war service, direct or indirect…” His position would change in 1933, as the result of Adolf Hitler’s coming into power in Germany.
Einstein’s greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb. Among those concerned were physicists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. But Szilard and Wigner had no influence with those in power. So in July 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: Albert Einstein. After talking with Einstein, in August 1939 Szilard wrote a letter to President Roosevelt with Einstein’s signature on it, which was delivered to Roosevelt in October 1939.
Germany has invaded Poland the previous month; the time was ripe for action. That October research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. In April 1940 an Einstein letter, ghost-written by Szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for “greater speed”.
As the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, Einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. He wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.
The atomic bombings of Japan occurred three months after Germany gave in.
In November 1954, five months before his death, Einstein summarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: “I made one great mistake in my life… when I signed a letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification---- the danger that the Germans would make them”.
1.What can we learn about Szilard and Wigner?
A. They were not as influential as Einstein.
B. They were responsible for the invention of nuclear weapons
C. They had cheated their friend Albert Einstein.
D. They had an intention to destroy the world.
2.We can conclude that Einstein ___________.
A. was important in the development of atomic bomb
B. was not involved in the invention of atomic bomb
C. directly participated in the invention of the atomic bomb
D. helped with the invention of atomic bomb
3.The best title for the passage would be __________.
A. A Story of Albert Einstein
B. Albert Einstein and the Atomic Bomb
C. It was Unfair for Einstein
D. How the Atomic Bomb was Invented

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
1.From the text we know that windmills__________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
C. have a history of more than 2,800 years
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
2.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A. Producing electricity. B. Sailing a boat.
C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from ground.
3.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that______.
A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. wind power is cleaner
4.The passage is mainly about______________.
A. the global pollution from burning coal and gas
B. the worldwide movement to save energy
C. the history of using wind power
D. the advantages of windmills

This day marks the rising of a new food startup, the first company to be financed entirely by the crowd, and of it every business thus relies on thousands of customers to grow. Lisa, 25, its main founder and CEO, believes it will be a path that will become increasingly popular, and ultimately will produce more thriving（繁荣的）businesses from the scratch.
“In the food industry, no venture capital (VC, 风险投资) will even look at you until you’ve hit a million in sales. As a fresh hand in business, unless you’re independently wealthy, you will likely need to raise some money before then,” Lisa complained. So few businesses approached VC firms at the beginning. It was no exception with her. Thus, she turned to a new financing tool at hand, crowdfunding, to raise money from the crowd who’d like to take a bet on her company.
But for a company, it didn’t make sense to seek investments when all they had was an idea and a few months of consumer testing data. The food market is extremely competitive. No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new super food product founded by a bunch of twenty-somethings. “But we had a story. And crowds love stories.” Lisa said delightedly. So she put together an online crowdfunding campaign, explaining how she began working with this amazingly nutritious plant in the Peace Corps and then started selling it in the U.S. to support the poor in the West Africa.
On the online platform where they were to raise the money, a friend convinced them to change their goal from $20,000 to $50,000. Lisa stayed up all night worrying they wouldn’t hit it. But they reached $24,000 in 24 hours and ended their funding with $53,000. Seeing the number, Lisa said, “Thank you! To my crowd and for your belief!”
1.Why couldn’t Lisa get investments in a traditional way?
A. She lacked confidence in business.
B. Her food company was in poor condition.
C. VC demanded too much in choosing partners.
D. Consumers were not satisfied with her new products.
2.According to the passage, crowdfunding ________.
A. ensures the investors a good return
B. aims to help badly managed companies
C. attracts more people to become investors
D. helps startups deal with money shortages
3.The underlined word “twenty-somethings” refers to ________.
A. twenty impractical ideas B. young people over twenty
C. twenty inexperienced partners D. a company with twenty branches
4.Which of the following best explains Lisa’s success?
A. Great minds think alike. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Many hands make light work. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health. Mr. Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose. More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.
“The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.”
David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.
A diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
Mr. Tilman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
1.Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?
A. They ate foods high in calories.
B. They adopted a western lifestyle.
C. They set aside little time for exercise.
D. They had a better life and became lazier.
2.According to the text, overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT_______.
A. diabetes B. skin disease
C. cancers D. heart disease
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. There will be fewer and fewer forests.
B. People won’t care about the environment.
C. The world’s population will grow faster than ever.
D. Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business.
4.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B. To call on people to give up the Western diet.
C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.
D. To draw people’s attention to environmental protection.
