Have you ever heard someone use the phrase” once in a blue moon” People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.
When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
1.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”.
A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.
B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.
C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.
D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.
2.When does a blue moon happen in nature
A. When the moon has a blue moon. B. When we cannot see the moon at all.
C. When there are two full moons in one month. D. When we can only see a small part of the color.
3.Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shape
A. The letter “O” B. The letter “M”
C. The letter “H” D. The letter “C”

Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that flapping makes a lot of noise. That’s why we call them hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly or hover upside down. They are the only bird that flies backward.
Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess that’s where they get their name.
Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store(存储) enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge. Hummingbirds don’t use their long beaks like straws(吸管). They have a tongue just like you. They use their tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of their mouths while inside of lowers. They lap up nectar. Flowers give them the energy that they need.
Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen(花粉) on their heads and bills when they feed. Flowers use pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make more seeds. More seeds means more flowers. More flowers means more food for hummingbirds. Isn’t it nice how that works out?
1.Why are they called hummingbirds?
A.They are very light. B.They sing when they fly.
C.Their wings make a humming sound. D.Their song sounds like humming.
2.Which best defines the underlined word (second paragraph) “hover” as used in Paragraph Two?
A.To stay in one spot in the air. B.To clean an area thoroughly(彻底地).
C.An animal that has hooves. D.To move your wings very fast.
3.How do hummingbirds eat?
A.They drink nectar through their beaks like a straw.
B.They chew up flower petals(花瓣) with their beaks.
C.They use their heads and bills to eat pollen.
D.They lap up nectar with their tongues.
4.How do hummingbirds help flowers?
A.They drink nectar. B.They eat pollen.
C.They bring pollen from one flower to the next. D.They plant seeds.
5.Which title best describes the main idea of this text?
A.Bee Hummingbirds: The World’s Smallest Bird B.Pollination: How Birds and Flowers Work Together
C.Hummingbirds: Unique and Uniquely Helpful D.Interesting Facts About Birds

Have you ever heard the term "body image"? It refers to the way we see our own bodies and how we feel about them. Some people have a good body image—they know that while their bodies might not be pecfect, they are still healthy and happy.
But many others—especially women—have a "broken" view of their bodies. They feel like they can never be skinny enough.
I have seen this among my own female(女性的) friends. I often see them complain about their weight on my Wechat moments(微信朋友圈), even though they are already in good shape. I want to tell them to stop worrying and complaining, but it's not really my place to do that.
This phenomenon(现象)has been a problem in the US and other countries for many years. But it seems to me that Chinese society places extra pressure on women to look perfect.
Some of you may remember the"A4 challenge" of 2016. Women posted pictures of themselves online, comparing their waist( 腰部) to the width of a sheet of A4 printing paper. A4 sheets are only about 20 cm wide. For most people, that would mean that they are at an unhealthy weight.
Unluckily, society and the media(媒体) will probably always promote(提倡) these kinds of strict beauty ideals. But the thing to remember is that as long as you are not extremely overweight or extremely skinny, you're probably in good health and are fine just the way you are.
1.What does “ having a good body image” mean?
A.You are satisfied with how you look.
B.You are already in perfect shape.
C.You are worried about your body shape
D.You feel like you can never be skinny enough.
2."This phenomenon" in Paragraph 4 refers to _________.
A.“women are always in good shape”
B.“women enjoy losing weight”
C.“women always complain about their weight”
D.“women love to post pictures on their Wechat moments”
3.What does the author(作者)think of the “A4 challenge”?
A.He thought it was fun. B.He disagreed with it.
C.He wanted to take part in it. D.He was angry about it.
4.What can we infer(推断) from the story?
A.Strict beauty ideals should be promoted.
B.Chinese society places very little pressure on women.
C.Winning the “A4 challenge” means that you are healthy.
D.There are some people who will never be satisfied with their bodies.
5.What is the best title of this passage?
A.A4 Challenge
B.Be Happy With Yourself
C.Some People Have a Good Body Image
D.Some People Have a Broken View of Their Bodies
