Stephen Hawking died at the age of 76 on March 14, 2018. Hawking is known as the most famous physicist(物理学家) after Einstein.
Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942. During his life, he married twice, and had three children. When he was a kid, Hawking went to school in St. Albans—a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving high school, Hawking went first to Oxford University to study physics, and then he went to Cambridge University to study the universe(宇宙).
At the age of twenty, Hawking started noticing that something was wrong with him. Later, he went to the hospital and doctors said that he would die before he was 23. But Hawking didn't give up. In 1988, Hawking completed his book A Brief History of Time. In the book, he talked about many things, like the universe, the big bang(宇宙大爆炸) and the black hole.

Mobile phones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. A mobile phone can include many things, such as games, music and Internet access(互联网接入). Today, 4.6 billion people around the world have mobile phones, according to CBS News.
However, mobile phones may cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. In a 2010 study, people who used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were more than two times as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN.
“I think it is a good idea to give the public some kind of warning that long-term exposure(暴露) to radiation (辐射) from your mobile phone could possibly cause cancer,”told Dr Henry Lai. Lai is a scientist of bioengineering(生物工程) at the University(大学) of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.
These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer:
1. Use a headset(耳机) or speaker
Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take it off your ear when you’re not talking to anyone. Using your phone with a speaker will also make it safer.
2. Listen more, talk less
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
3. Hold the phone away from your body
Hold the phone away from your body when you’re talking, not against your ear. Also, don’t keep it in your pocket.
4. Choose texting over talking
Phones give out less radiation to send texts than to carry a person’s voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.
5. Poor signal? Stay off the phone
A poor signal means that the phone needs to give out more radiation to work. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.
1.The study from 2010 showed that _________.
A.people should use mobile phones for no more than 10 years
B.people who don’t use mobile phones will not get brain cancer
C.the longer people use mobile phones, the more likely they are to get brain cancer
D.the more mobile phones people have, the more likely they are to get brain cancer
2.Which is NOT true about the suggestions mentioned in the passage?
A.Some headsets don’t give out radiation.
B.It’s not good to carry mobile phones in pockets.
C.Texting is better than making phone calls.
D.Don’t make calls when the signal is weak.
3.The passage mainly talks about _________.
A.the development and advantages of mobile phones
B.the reason why mobile phone radiation causes cancer
C.the best ways to use mobile phones to communicate
D.how to protect ourselves from mobile phone radiation

There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India, but the tree-bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬) you only if they are disturbed (打扰), tree-bees will attack you in thousands for no reason. And they will chase (追赶) you for your life.
Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year. I found myself, without the least warning, the centre of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Though it was hot, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called “The Angry Swarm”, which was about killer-bees.
I began running to the village about half a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. I drove them away with my hands, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my mouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe.
When I reached the village, I found some workers building a house. I ran towards them for help. But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed.
Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of brick dust. I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered. And then I tried hard to get out of the dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me. I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles. Soon I lost my consciousness (意识).
Later I learned that two quick-minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.
1.What can we infer (推断) from the second paragraph?
A.The temperature went down at that time.
B.The air suddenly became thick because of the dust.
C.The writer knew Indian tree-bees were the most dangerous.
D.The writer felt scared when he was surrounded by tree-bees.
2.In which order did the following things happen to the writer?
a. He tried to drive away the bees but failed.
b. He was surrounded with a thick wall of fire and smoke.
c. He was tired out and lost consciousness later.
d. He watched a film named “The Angry Swarm”.
e. He was attacked by tree-bees while taking a walk.
A.e-a-c-b-d B.d-e-a-c-b C.e-b-a-d-c D.d-e-a-b-c
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Tree-bees often attack people in large numbers.
B.Tree-bees can be driven away by fire and smoke.
C.Tree-bees do not give up easily when they attack people.
D.Tree-bees will not attack people unless they are disturbed.
