The story of the movie Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old Riley as she moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The main characters are Riley’s emotions---Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear, which guide her decisions and often compete with one another for control of her brain.
Fear is tall, thin, looks like a frayed(焦燥的)nerve and is purple. Not only that, his eyes are purple, too. Anger, which is red, looks like a brick and has red eyes. Disgust, who is green, has green eyes. Sadness, not surprisingly, is completely blue, and even looks like a teardrop. But Joy, who is mainly yellow, has more than one color in her. She has blue eyes and blue hair. Why? Well, if blue represents sadness, then the message is clear: there is no such ting as “pure joy”. Instead, even in our most joyous times, there is often sadness mixed in.
After all, one of the most joyous moments we can experience is a wedding, but it may end with the breaking of a glass. It reminds us that our world is still broken. In order words, even at our highest moments, there is always a little sadness.
But the comfort is that the reverse is often true. Think about how you feel after crying. When you cry, your body is releasing some chemicals that often make you feel good. And that’s why you feel at ease after a good cry.
Indeed, Inside Out reminds us that even the emotions that appear “negative’ have value. In other words, Inside Out shows us that the goal of life isn’t “to be happy”. We will feel sad, angry or frightened. But we need our whole range of emotions for developing our sense of self and our relationship with others.
1.According to the author, Joy is different in appearance because __________.
A. it is the leading character in our life
B. that shows it is joyful for a reason
C. that shows it doesn’t just mean pure joy
D. the director wants to make it prettier
2.Why does a wedding end with the braking of a glass?
A. To remind the new couple not to overjoy
B. To show the world we live in isn’t perfect
C. To remind the new couple to pay attention to happiness
D. To show the new couple about the real meaning of marriage
3.The underlined part “the reverse is often true” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.
A. sadness is as important as joy
B. happiness doesn’t last very long
C. sadness can sometimes lead us to joy
D. we should never be too happy about something
4.The movie Inside Out is meant to tell us that ___________.
A. we should attempt to be as happy as possible
B. we should control our negative emotions
C. developing our sense of self isn’t that easy
D. we need both positive and negative emotions

The hottest “green” toy in Germany isn’t made of organic or recycled materials. This one has a solar panel (太阳能电池板) and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones” that power the space station. Germany, a pioneer in many renewable energy movements, is also at the forefront of creating environment-friendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use, raising awareness through play. A number of high-tech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair, which runs through Sunday.
Among them, there are hydroelectric-powered toy cars, and doll houses with wind–powered engine and rainwater catchers. The bright green "Future Planet" space station features inner equipment with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell. Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.
Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future and that of our kids. "Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead," said Judith Schweinitz, a spokeswoman for Playmobil, maker of the solar panel-fitted space station. "It is increasingly being brought into our play concept." she added. Studies indicate that green toys which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness are becoming more and more popular in the international toy market.
1.The purpose of making the green toys is to ________.
A. give kids the knowledge of technology
B. improve the safety of toys
C. raise kids’ awareness about energy and environment
D. improve kids’ imagination
2.According to the text, ________ uses solar energy.
A. the “Future Planet” space station B. the doll
C. the doll house D. the toy car
3.What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A. Energy is only a question of the future and we needn’t care now.
B. The trend in the international toy market is more and more green toys to raise environmental awareness will hit the market.
C. Energy has been brought into our play concept too much according to Judith Schweinitz.
D. The green toys made of sustainable materials haven’t become popular yet in the international toy market.
4.The hottest “green” toy in Germany is ________.
A. made of organic or recycled materials B. made of green stones
C. driven by an advanced motor D. equipped with a solar panel

Clean water is not only important for food production, but necessary for our life. However, large numbers of people in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are going without. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day for dirty water or lack of water.
Agriculture is the primary user of water at 70–85% of fresh water in the world. Industrial uses of water don’t often come to mind, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water supply in developed countries.
Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, the local government has to cut down on water use. Many cities are turning to privatization (私有化) of water as a method of controlling use. The poor are paying as much as a quarter of their monthly income for water in some developing countries.
In 60% of large European cities, groundwater is being used at a faster rate. People are saving water by simply using less and being careful with what they do use. Sometimes it’s as simple as not throwing out water that they could use elsewhere.
In Australia overuse of water has always been a problem. The Australian government has encouraged households and industries to collect rainwater and reuse water from showers. Technology is helping householders for shower and bath water for reuse in toilets or gardens.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program designed to encourage families and businesses to examine their water use and save more water. Good water management has been considered by scientists and the UN as the key to solving the water problem. We can all work together to protect our valuable water in our daily life.
1.In developed countries, most water is used by ______.
A. industry B. agriculture
C. families D. businesses
2.To save water, what do Australians and Europeans both choose to do?
A. Find more groundwater.
B. Make good use of rainwater.
C. Encourage people to have fewer showers
D. Recycle water for a second use.
3.According to scientists, to deal with water shortage, the most important is to ______.
A. popularize privatization of water
B. cut down on water use at home
C. have good control over water use
D. introduce water-saving technologies
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Water—the source of all lives
B. Save water, save the world
C. New ways to save water
D. Water and people’s health

I’m Cindy, a student for electronic engineering. To tell to you the truth, it wasn’t my choice---it was my parents. I wanted to study psychology and they said I wouldn’t get the good job. I wish I will not have accepted by the school to do engineering. I’m sitting in the library now and I ought to be doing some physics problem but instead I’m reading Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom. I think my parents should read this as good, so they would understand us better.

When we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.
There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 to 100 messages a day - some as many as 300, and 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children - that's between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.
Recently, we adopted a "check in at tuck in" (盖被子时交手机) rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we "tuck in" our children for the night, they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this:
"But I use it for my alarm clock."
"I'll wake you up."
"My friends might need me."
"If there is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."
A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now, since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone if I need you."
1.The first paragraph that the writer writes is to______.
A. show the writer's family life
B. lead to the topic of the passage
C. advise to buy cell phones for children
D. introduce the writer's two daughters
2.The cell phones were bought for children in hope of_______.
A. controlling their online behavior
B. working hard through the Internet
C. replacing alarm clocks with cell phones
D. keeping in touch if something urgent happened
3.Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?
A. Performing well in school.
B. Feeling very hungry.
C. Being easy to have flu.
D. Being very emotional.
4.Which is probably the best title for the passage?
A. How to Take Control of Children
B. How to Help Children Sleep Well at Night
C. How to Get Children off Cell Phones at Night
D. How to Assist Children with Cell Phones
