We all have one shirt in the closet that we don’t want to get rid of, yet keeping around because we can’t bear to just throw it in the garbage. We don’t wear it anymore. Being a little out of style, your old T-shirt needs a new home where it can be appreciated. One city in Toronto has started a project to give it one.
Earlier this year the Toronto suburbs of Markham introduced a new program encouraging its residents and residents of nearby suburbs to donate their old unwanted clothing. The program is exceptional because unlike most of those second-hand stores, they are accepting old clothing that isn’t quite in perfect condition. It is breathing new life into these typically-trashed items. Contrary to common belief, textiles（纺织品）are not only used for clothing, and these items are being re-purposed in a variety of interesting ways.
The city has set up many different donation centers around the suburbs and residents are encouraged to donate any unwanted textiles they happen to have lying around their house. It’s volunteers’ duty to divide the donations into different sorts. Those items in usable and good condition are donated to local homeless shelters and other aid centers. Those which are not are shipped off to be used for industrial purposes. Only when there is no more industrial need for fabric and textiles will they begin to use their last place — a landfill outside the city.
The program isn’t the city’s only green initiative (倡议). It has already had one of Canada and the world’s largest solar panels, and it is said that they are steadily working towards a shift to 100% renewable energy. The city also has subsidized (补助) farmers’ markets and over 125 miles of bike paths. As a result, Markham also has a much lower rate of obesity than other Canadian cities. Now, it’s working towards another goal — 100% recycling of unwanted textiles.
1.What does the underlined word “one” in paragraph refer to?

2.What do the volunteers do with the unwanted clothing?

B.The program is more successful than expected.
C.The citizens have fallen in love with the city.
D.The city is working hard to be a green one.
4.What is the main idea of this text?

B.Old clothes are becoming more useful in Canada.
C.Rubbish has been put into wide use in Canada.

New Year' s resolutions(决心)have been around long enough that we all scent to stick to the same ones--hit the gym, lay off the candy, read more books, call your mother-regardless of whether we follow through with our intentions.
While January 1st seems like the perfect time to have a new start again, exactly when people developed that mindset(思维模式)isn’t common knowledge. It turns out that the modern belief of' a New Year’s resolution isn’t as old as you thought. According to many historians, the ancient Babylonians were the first group of people to make New Year’s resolutions. However, instead of making a commitment to self improvement, they made a commitment to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.
An ancient Roman tradition from 46 B. C, bears even more likeness to modern resolutions. Emperor Julius Caesar declared January the month of Janus. Romans believed Janus looked backwards into the previous year and ahead into the future. In his honor, they made sacrifices to the god and promises of good behavior for the coining year.
But the modern New Year's resolution didn’t fully form until centuries later. The practice was common enough by the early 1800s. An article in 1802 states, "Statesmen have sworn to have no other objet in view than the good of their country.. the physicians have determined to advise the use of medicine no more than is necessary, and to he very reasonable in their fees.”
The first time “New Year's resolution" appeared as a phrase was in the January 1st issue of a Boston newspaper in 1813. “I believe there are a lot of people," the article goes, “with a serious determination of beginning the New Year with new resolutions and new behavior, and with the full belief that they shall accept punishment for all their former
faults and wipe them away.
So as you make (and possibly fail at) your New year's resolutions, know that you're in good company.
1.Whose New Years resolutions were most different from the present common practice?
A. Ancient Babylonians’ B. Ancient Romans’
C. Statesmen's in the 1800s. D. Boston people's in 1813
2.According to Paragraph 4, the physicians focused their resolutions on_______
A. annual incomes B. personal ambitions
C. professional honesty D. academic improvement
3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To encourage people to make New year's resolutions
B. To give advice on how to make New Year’s resolutions.
C. To compare different New year's resolutions in history.
D. To introduce the development of New Year's resolutions

Got big plans for Friday night? That’s OK, we don’t either.
Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.
First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little more special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.
In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.
If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.
Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.
Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.
And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.
1.According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?
A. A blood moon.
B. A total solar eclipse.
C. A partial lunar eclipse.
D. A comet without a tail.
2.If you want to see Comet 45P, you will need to .
A. wait around 7:44 p.m. ET
B. stay up until 9:53 p.m. ET
C. wake up before 3:00 a.m. ET
D. start watching at 5:34 p.m. ET
3.The author writes the text with the purpose of .
A. introducing basic astronomy to the media
B. sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchers
C. promoting astronomical events among science scents
D. informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Comet 45P will be visible as it approaches the earth
B. Penumbral lunar eclipse will happen on Friday night
C. Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekend
D. Eclipse, full moon, comet team up to put on a show on Friday night

Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. 1.
Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations.
2. Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well.
3. Sometimes food means living on. While the Chinese cooks who exported “Chinese” food around the world ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity.
Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance. France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. 4.
Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food as a status symbol for some Chinese. 5. In China, people eat food not necessarily for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable.
A. Food as survival.
B.Food as community.
C.It’s the hardest to give up.
D. The celebratory nature of food is universal.
E.It is an accumulation, a function of your experiences
F.How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural.
G. But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.
