Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!

John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.

However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚). Venezuela's neighbor.

Believe it or not, humans have been in debt(负债) to the Earth Overshoot Day this month. The Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 8th. As of that day, we have used as much from nature in 2016 as our planet can provide in a whole year. In other words, we have run out of this year’s “ecological budget”, and for the rest of the year we’ll be eating into our “savings”.

Global Footprint Network has been watching the Earth Overshoot Day since 1971. This year, the day came five days earlier than it did last year (Aug. 13th), 11 days earlier that the year before (Aug, 19th) and is the earliest date yet.

Global Footprint Network said that humans now use 1.6 Earths worth of crops, forest, livestock, energy and other resources (资源) every year. By the 2030s we will be using more than two Earth’s worth of resources every year. The situation is more and more serious and the world needs to find better balance in how to use the Earth’s resources.

Overshoot Day is a red light warning of trouble ahead. “That is, we’re using up what our planet does for us, so year after year, there is less for us to use,” Stuart Pimm, an American professor of ecology, explained. “Less forest, fewer fish in the ocean, less productive land.” Two of the main causes are over-population and pollution.

Small actions make a big difference and all of us play an important role in creating　 a better world where we live. Even a few simple changes around our home can reduce the resource that we waste, from taking a shower instead of a bath, to using our own reusable bags at the store instead of ones that are made of plastics. In this way we can reduce waste and pollution. Let’s start today to live greener in no time.

1.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. The Earth Overshoot Day is coming earlier and earlier.

B. The Earth Overshoot Day falls on Aug. 19th.

C. Humans will have to spend more money for the rest of the year.

D. Humans have used as many resources this year as we did last year.

2.According to the Global Footprint Network, which of the following is true?

A. By the 2030s there will be no resources left on Earth.

B. Humans need to find better ways to use resources properly.

C. Humans use more than 1.6 Earths worth of resources every year.

D. Aug. 13th is the earliest date of the Earth Overshoot Day since 1971.

3.Which one can’t help us reduce the resource that we waste?

A. take a shower. B. take a bath.

C. use the reusable bags. D. recycle the waste water.

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Living a Saving life B. Aug. 8th—an Important Day

C. Small Actions make a Big Difference D. Eating up Our Planet

Whether we admit it or not, many of us have experienced loneliness. Last month, a survey done by US health service company Cigna found that loneliness has become a common situation in the country. It even found that young people aged 18-22 are more likely to feel lonely than the elders. Loneliness often leads to the emotions of sadness and loss, and can even “make us sick”. So, how do we deal with the pain of loneliness?

Throwing ourselves into distractions can be useful. US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux wrote about how she turned loneliness into a productive learning process. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and try out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking dishes she’d never even made before.

This is a typical example of how loneliness gets us out of our comfort zone and allows us to grow. “When it comes to keeping loneliness at bay (控制住) , one of the best ways is to occupy your time with things that feel enriching, creative and exciting.” Breaux wrote, “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe.”

The attitude we choose toward loneliness is also the key to deal with it. If we see loneliness as an unwanted and annoying thing, we will suffer it. But if we admit that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “embrace (拥抱) the beauty of our solo journey”, as best-selling US author Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman.

Instead of desperately (拼命地) finding someone to talk to or go out with, trying to have fun on our own is more practical. US Internet writer Kayla Albert shared a story of her friend, who uses her time alone to do what she really wants to do. Her friend goes out for dinner, watches movies, and visits art museums — all on her own. She claims that this kind of single lifestyle brings her joyfulness and gracefulness.

So, we can do it too. Indeed, sometimes, the best songs are the ones performed alone.

1.The survey from Cigna in Paragraph 1 tells _______.

A.when people might experience loneliness

B.how common the problem of loneliness is

C.how people deal with the pain from loneliness

D.what kind of people might suffer from loneliness

2.What was Adrienne Breaux’s solution when loneliness hit her?

A.To keep herself in the comfort zone.

B.To get a new job being a good cook.

C.To spend time for self-improvement.

D.To relax by writing her lonely feeling.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Going out with friends is better than staying alone.

B.The key to solve loneliness is to accept and enjoy it.

C.The pain of loneliness gets worse as people get older.

D.Seeing loneliness as an unwanted thing helps us avoid it.

Feeling stressed has almost become the norm(常态) for many busy American families. Although one kind of stress called 'eustress' can actually be positive( 积极的 ) and productive(有用的), many suffer far too often from negative stress. All that stress leads us to cope in unhealthy ways that take their toll on( 对 …… 造成伤害 ) overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, stress is not just a problem for adults. Teens are also vulnerable(易受伤害的) to stress and its effects.

The latest Stress in America Survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) polled(对……做民意调查) adults as well as 1,018 teens who live in the United States about stress over the previous month. While American adults report higher stress levels than what they believe to be healthy, the survey also shows the patterns of unhealthy stress behaviors we see in adults impact(影响) teens as well. According to the survey, many American teens report experiencing stress at unhealthy levels, appear uncertain in their stress management techniques and experience symptoms(症状) of stress in numbers that mirror adults' experiences. Stress during the teen years also seems to take a toll on activity, nutrition and lifestyle behaviors.

Stress impacts teens in many ways. The survey shows that 36% of teens report fatigue(feeling tired); 35% report lying awake at night; 32% report having headaches; and 23% report skipping a meal.

The report also shows that teens are less aware(有……的意识) than adults about the impact stress can have on their physical and mental health.

It's important that parents find ways to manage stress positively and productively. Because our kids see what we do and how we handle different situations and stressors, for better or worse, we need to model as best as we can positive ways of perceiving(认识) and coping with stress.

Staying physically active, engaging in exercise and sitting less can temper(缓和) stress. Finding activities we enjoy can help our hearts be healthier. Eating different kinds of nutrient-rich foods, for example, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats throughout the day can help have mood-boosting. Connecting with others regularly, laughing and thinking can also help. Getting enough sleep by having regular bedtimes can also help us avoid fatigue.

1.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Both adults and teens can be affected by stress.

B.It's not common to see stress in many busy American families.

C.The survey shows that stress impacts teens most in falling asleep.

D.Meeting and talking with friends does no good to reduce stress.

There are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you'll say“no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe, you may do a small experiment（实验）.

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap（包裹） one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a lttle heavier.

Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man's mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its .own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow an.d white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave（光波）— a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain（大脑） through organs（感觉器官）

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change when we see different colours.

1.Which is the lightest colour in a man's mind?

A.Red B.Blue C.Green D.White

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Different colors have different weights in a man's mind.

B.The colours “blue” is the second heaviest colour in a man's mind.

C.People can't smell the colours.

D.The colour you don't like will keep you healthy.

3.According to the passage, how long will you feel if you stay in a red room for an hour?

A.Two hours. B.Fours hours C.Six hours D.Eight hours.
