My story is about receiving unconditional love from my students.

With so much going against immigrants, I want to share this story that blessed an immigrant like me.

I teach nursing here in the US. I am from China, and I just 【1】start) working in a community college in California in July 2016. At the beginning, I was 【2】(worry) that I couldn’t make myself 【3】(understand) by my students as my accent was different. I thought I would never be accepted. My thoughts were 【4】(complete)wrong! Each day they encouraged me 【5】(get) better. They never discourage me.

As weeks passed, my students came up with an idea to encourage this foreign teacher of 【6】(they). They gave me a prize for getting better with my 【7】(pronounce). I was given a packet of Skittles(彩虹糖), 【8】truly moved my heart. I am so thankful to my students. It’s not that I teach them nursing, but that they teach me life. I am glad to be 【9】teacher to these hard-working students who try hard to be wonderful future nurses.

I just want to encourage anyone feeling depressed. Never give 【10】. There is always hope.

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.

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.

Pandas eat almost nothing 【4】 bamboo shoots and leaves. 【5】(occasion) they eat other plants, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets.

Pandas eat fast; they eat 【6】 lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day 【7】(do) it. The reason is 【8】 they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot-up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.

Pandas’ molars(臼齿) are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat to get the bamboo to their mouths, 【9】 hold the stems with their front claws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for grasping things. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don’t go into areas 【10】 people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.

Yangshuo, China

It was raining lightly when I 【1】(arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn't care. A few hours 【2】， I'd been at home in Hong Kong, with 【3】(it) choking smog. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.

I'd skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River 【4】are pictured by artists in so many Chinese 【5】_(painting). Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour away 【6】 car and offers all the scenery of the betterknown city.

Yangshuo 【7】_(be) really beautiful. A study of travellers 【8】_(conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it 【9】_(regular) arranges quick getaways here for people 【10】(live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

It’s not difficult to keep these lovely animals at home. But you have to take them to animal hospitals to give them needles (注射), so they won’t get ill or they will make people ill. Now there are lots of animal food stores here and there. People can buy good animal food for their animals there. Old people can buy animal food on the phone or on the Internet. But it’s a little more expensive.

Sometimes it’s kind of dirty and dangerous to keep animals. They sometimes look dirty and smell terrible and can be dangerous. For example, an old woman in Shanghai lost her life on the street for her pet dog.

Maybe old people in big cities have many reasons to keep these nice and clever animals. They may feellonelywhen their children leave. And these pets can be their great helpers. They are their good friends and help them in many things.

【1】Old people love these animals because they are _________.

A. nice and lovely B. can be great helpers

C. are not difficult to keep D. are friendly to them

【2】If people don’t give the animals needles, the animals may ________.

A. be ill B. run away

C. not eat food D. make people unhappy

【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How to keep pets. B. Pet animals in big cities.

C. Old people and their pet animals. D. Friendly and nice pet animals.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.【1】.

Body image is a person’s opinion and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.【2】. You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.【3】.

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques(体形) don’t just happen.【4】. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

Respect your body! Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.

【5】. Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit(智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.

Financial (金融) experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.

According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.

The ant—works first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest(投资) in some funds and stocks with low risk.

The cricket—fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).

The snail—lives under pressure(压力)

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans (贷款)from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury(奢华的) houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems including children’s overweight. If a child has a meal in front of the television or the computer alone, he will often eat some fast food.

Jason Collins is one of the persons returning to the old tradition. Collins is a manager of a bake house. He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more obedient(听话的). Dr. Jin is a child psychologist, and she expresses welcome to this result of the study. She says it can make parents have a very good chance to chat with the child when the whole family have a meal together.

【1】What makes people change their eating habit back to the old tradition in Britain?

A. Worrying about their children

B. Worrying about some social problems

C. Worrying about the living expense

D. Worrying about health and family problems

【2】How do the people who hope to lose weight feel about the new discovery?

A. They feel glad B. They feel surprised

C. They feel sorry D. They feel disappointed

A. The child having dinner with his parents doesn’t like watching TV
