If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written it in an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we don’t have written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed(破坏) by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learnt to write.
Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations(代), for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has been written history because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often helpful.
1.Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?
A. “Remembered history” is less reliable (可靠的) than written history.
B. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history.
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.
D. If there are no written records, there is no history.
2.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.
A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time
B. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
3.“Remembered history” is considered as valuable only when ________.
A. it is written down B. there is no written account
C. it proves to right D. people are interested in it
4.The passage suggests(暗示) that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.
A. kept a record of every past event
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances

Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects(探测) when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart(购物车). When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our choice of foodstuff is from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact (紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account(账户), a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Years ago, we were, asked to create a newspaper in groups about world culture in our history class.
We first wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. Unluckily, Mrs. Bartlett, our teacher, didn't put me in the group with any of my friends. Instead, I was with Mauro, who never spoke English, Juliette, who always wore thick glasses and Rachel, who wore strange clothes. I had never talked to them. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends!
I was so sad that I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. "I know what you want, Karina, " she gently patted me on my shoulder, "but your group needs a leader. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this project. Only you can make it."
I was shocked.
"Will you help them?" she asked.
"Yes, " I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.
I bravely walked to my group and started our project. We had different tasks according to our interests. Gradually, 1 felt myself enjoying their company. I found out Mauro was struggling with English. Behind Juliette's thick glasses were her sparkling eyes. Rachel was so creative that she wanted to be a fashion designer. I realized that they were not strange； they were just people that no one cared enough for-except Mrs. Bartlett. Her thoughtfulness brought out the best in the four of us.
I learned something that week. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. I learned that who we, are is more important than what we are or seem to be.
Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that project, but thought we should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.

Idioms(成语) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I'll play it by ear”, that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later. “Play by ear” used to mean playing music using the sheet music(活页乐谱), but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.
There're many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you don't necessarily reach out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two certainly work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
1.An idiom is _______.
A. a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say
B. a phrase or a sentence that doesn't mean exactly what every word says
C. so difficult that nobody can understand
D. something to do with parts of your body
2.If a mother says “I’ll play it by ear” to talk about the dinner, she means _______.
A. she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time
B. she doesn't hear what others are talking about.
C. she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner
D. She doesn't have plans for dinner and will decide later
3.When one says “Can you give me a hand?”, he means _______.
A. he needs to hold your hand.
B. he works well with you
C. he needs your help
D. he is a new comer and can't help with the situation
4.What does the word “vivid” mean?
A. 生动的 B. 恰当的 C. 独特的 D. 有意义的
5.Here are four common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings.
Can you match them?
1) to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself
2) to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well
3) to stand on one's own feet c. to do something secretly
4) to go behind someone's back d. to have the habit of stealing
A. 1-b; 2-a; 3-d; 4-c B. 1-b; 2-d; 3-a; 4-c
C. 1-c; 2-b; 3-a; 4-d D.1-c; 2-d; 3-b; 4-a
